Sex & Nudity

  • We see many hookers in scanty attire, including fishnet bottoms and tops. These aren't revealing like strip clubs and don't show nudity.
  • A nude woman is seen thrusting on top of a man during sex.
  • We see a woman, Lucille, in just a thong bottom get up out of bed (we see her bare breasts and most of her bare butt cheeks). Marv comments on her being a "dyke" and says he doesn't know why since she had a body with which she could get any guy.
  • A hooker, Goldie, tells Marv that she wants him and we then see quick shots of them having sex (kissing, caressing and her moving on top of him while topless). Later, Marv wakes up next to her and she's dead, but topless (and we see several views of her bare breasts).
