Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

William, Roland and Wat encounter Chaucer walking along, completely nude (we see several views of his bare butt - from behind and the side as he sits on the ground, but we don't see any explicit full frontal shots).

Violence & Gore

Throughout the movie, there are many scenes containing shots of contestants being hit with lances or knocked from their horses while jousting, including shots to armor-covered chests and faces where the wooden lances splinter upon the severe impact. In another such instance, a contestant is knocked from his ride that then lands on him as they also knock down a fence.

Profanity

At least 4 uses of the "s" word, what sounded liked 1 slang term for breasts ("t*t"), 4 damns, 2 hells, 1 S.O.B., and 2 uses each of "For God's sakes" and "Oh God" and 1 use each of "God" and "Swear to God" as exclamations.

The "s" word being used is "shite" an old term used for the more common word used today. The slang term for ("t*t") is used by Wat when he says "I don't give a witch's teat!"

The use of profanity is very mild in this movie.

The various jousting scenes - especially ones where William seems injured or in danger of being injured or killed - may be unsettling or suspenseful to some younger viewers. The same holds true for the brief sight in one scene of a dead person hanging from a gallows, and another apparently dead person in a small cage.
