Mean Streets (1973) More at IMDbPro »

A man watches a woman (She's his girlfriend) through a window (We see full frontal female nudity). A man and a woman lie in bed, presumably after sex; she gets up to dress and he watches her (We see her breasts in clear view). A stripper preforms a routine at a bar (Her breasts are partially obscured) in an extended close-up sequence. Much of the dialouge alludes to strong sexual activity, with explicit sexual dialouge.

While in a car, a man is shot in the neck (He leans out of the window and writhes as blood spurts and oozes from the wound; the blood splatters everywhere). He later is seen limping and holding his neck as blood pours. A man fires a gun three times at a drunken man who is urinating (Bloody bullet holes are shown); the drunk staggers and attacks his attacker, who repeatedly struggles with him. The fight carries onto the streets, where the gunman throws the drunk sideways and shoots him. A man exits a car after a car crash and falls to his knees, holding his bloodied arm. A woman's hand is seen sticking out of a bloody car window as a fireman helps remove it and help the injured woman out. A man puts a gun in his mouth and we hear a gunshot.

An extended pool house brawl scene depicts many characters fighting with fists and/or pool cues, hitting and throwing each-other (Very little blood is shown). Characters fight and throw punches; many violent death threats are exchanged.

50+ uses of "fuck", as well as two uses of "cunt", and multiple uses of other milder profanity ("Shit", "son of a bitch"). Some racial slurs are also exchanged.

Many characters are depicted as drunk and are shown drinking/intoxicated. Characters smoke throughout the film. A man is seen shooting up heroin in the beginning of the film.
