Sex & Nudity

  • Lava Girl kisses Shark Boy on the cheek, and he sizzles.
  • Shark Boy puts his arm around Lava Girl, and his arm sizzles and he pulls it away.
  • Max's mom wears a low-cut top that reveals cleavage.
  • Linus refers to Lavagirl as "hot."

Violence & Gore

  • Lava Girl's leg pops off at the knee, she goes back for it and she sticks it back on (the leg does not seem to be artificial, but the reality where everything takes place is).
  • Lava Girl melts into a puddle (she comes back to her normal form later).
  • Lava Girl's feet are frozen into ice cubes.
  • Lava Girl's head spins completely around and we hear a squish and a creak.
  • Lava Girl touches Shark Boy on the arm and he sizzles.
  • A character falls into water and is attacked by many sharks (we see him thrashing, but no blood or anything else; it's not clear if he survives or not).
  • Brains fall from the sky and splat on the ground (we hear squishes and spurts when they hit).
  • Brain matter also splatters on the screen.
  • Linus' head inflates and he topples over.
  • Sharkboy is zapped repeatedly by electric eels swimming beneath his feet, he is also chased by many electric eels in the water, he tries to swim away, they continue to zap him, and he sinks to the bottom motionless; Max touches the water and is shocked, and Lavagirl dives into the eel infested water and pulls Shark Boy to the surface.
  • Max is zapped on the backside by an electric bolt.
  • Sharkboy, Lavagirl and Max are locked in a cage.
  • Sharkboy becomes very angry and his teeth become pointed (like a shark's teeth), and he uses them to tear apart the cage to free them.
  • Max throws a journal at Linus hitting him in the head.
  • Bullies throw paper balls at Max.
  • Linus and his friends chase Max through the playground trying to get his dream journal, Max climbs up a rope ladder, he slips and hits his crotch on a rope, and he falls back and drops his dream journal on the ground -- Linus gets it.
  • Max and Linus fight each other: one shoots piranhas at the other, who fends them off with bubbles.
  • A large storm swirls in the ocean toward Sharkboy (aged 5) standing on a pier, it destroys the pier, we see him in a raft while the Sharkboy's father drifts in the other direction, and Sharkboy's raft is surrounded by sharks who actually protect him; he rides on the back of one shark and is taken into a cave where we hear that he grows up and begins to develop shark gills, fins and instincts.
  • Max's parents are sucked into a large funnel cloud, but they are retrieved and brought out of it.
  • A large funnel cloud blows and swirls toward a school building, the windows are blown out, and the children in a classroom fall to the floor under their desks.
  • Sharkboy throws Lavagirl into a volcano, and she emerges shooting lava from her hands.
  • A narrow walkway begins to melt under Lavagirl's feet, she sneezes, blowing Sharkboy back (he nearly falls off the walkway), and they rush across and get to the other side just as the walkway falls away.
  • Max and Linus ride rock pillars that shoot up into the air, a rope bridge joins them, they walk out onto the bridge and it breaks; one catches the other as they fall, and they soar on wooden planks that spin like helicopters.
  • Max climbs a tall ice column, he retrieves an ice crystal, he drops it to Lavagirl who catches it and she is turned into ice, and they are surrounded by guards.
  • Lavagirl shoots a stream of lava at Sharkboy's backside.
  • A girl freezes a character, who explodes into many snowflakes.
  • Lavagirl is wrapped up in cables and shocked, a boy fights them with punches and kicks, then with a stick, and two cables surround the boy and zap him.
  • Electric cords writhe like snakes, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl fight with several of them.
  • Many creatures charge toward Sharkboy, Lavagirl and Max, and the children ride on a vehicle that shoots fudge at the creatures.

Profanity

  • In the latin dubbing, Mr. Electric mentions a nightmare about the holocaust
  • A character says, "fudge."
  • Name-calling (hot head and dream-boy.)
