Parents Guide for
Forrest Gump (1994)

Sex noises coming from a bedroom window, while a child listens.

A couple is shown kissing in bed and there is the suggestion of sex.

A woman is shown in her underwear; she removes her bra and we see her bare back as she places a man's hand on her breast. Then the man gets an orgasm.

A nude woman is covered by a guitar only, and we see the side of her bare chest and her bare back.

A man's bottom is shown bandaged.

Several men are seen bare to the waist, and a flash of bare bottoms in the distance (some pubic region shown).

There are references to a young girl being sexually abused by her father.

A newsreel of George Wallace getting shot, and references to John and Bobby Kennedy being killed.

Young boys throw rocks at another boy and hit him in the head.

There is the insinuation of sexual child abuse.

There are several fist fights which end in bloody noses, and a woman is slapped in the face and knocked down.

War scenes from Vietnam show men being wounded and blown up: a large bloody gut wound, and a leg wound are shown graphically.

One F-word and several scatological and anatomical terms are used, as well as insults and derogatory racial references.

There are a lot of drugs in the movie. Jenny gets involved in the hippie culture, she experiments with all sorts of drugs like LSD and heroin, and she later contracts AIDS.

There is some casual drinking, then some hard drinking by Lt. Dan in the later half of the film.

The battle scene could be considered frightening, as it comes out of nowhere.
