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

A young groupie's at Johnny's backstage door, enters and passionately kisses him (sex is implied). We later see Johnny kissing another woman, while a second is also there, but Johnny is literally falling down drunk or drugged.

Violence & Gore

The guys light a fuse on something packed with some sort of explosives that's positioned in a tree. Thinking it's a dud, they slowly walk toward it as it explodes and sends a large branch falling toward them (but no one is harmed).

Profanity

At least 1 "f" word, 2 "s" words, what sounded like 1 slang term for female genitals ("poon"), 7 damns, 4 asses, 4 hells, 2 S.O.B.s, and 1 use each of "Jesus" and "Oh my God."

Johnny has a beer and then takes some pills from another man who says they're what Elvis takes (Johnny only has them in his hand).

In a flashback, Johnny's brother is working a large table saw and loses control of it, prompting young Johnny to race up and disable the machine. Later, young Johnny is walking alone on the road when his father picks him up and hurriedly drives him back home. Once inside, Johnny sees bloody material in a wash pan and then sees his brother lying mortally wounded in bed, with blood on the sheet covering him and the boy convulsing a bit. Johnny yells "Do something!" but there's nothing that can be done as his brother dies before them.
