5/10
A womans bare breasts are seen. The same woman is seen sitting nude on top of a man, implying they've just had sex or are about to. The woman is later seen completely nude in the shower.
Some sensuality too(characters make out for instance). |

8.5/10
The violence in Year of the Dragon is very bloody.
A man is stabbed in the heart with a dagger. The dagger is seen sticking out of his chest and blood flows down his chest.
A man is shot through the forehead point blank. A large bloody hole opens on his forehead and blood splatters onto the wall behind him.His bloody head is later seen one more time.
2 masked gunmen armed with Uzi's charge into a crowded restaurant and open fire. A number of people (at least 6) are seen being mowed down with bloody bullet wounds appearing on their bodies.One of the gunmen bumps into a customer and unwillingly shoots himself in the foot(bloody).
A man holds another mans severed head, showing it to a group of soldiers.Quite disturbing and unexpected.
A woman is garroted with a wire and then has her throat cut. We don't see the actual cutting, but we do see her lying on the floor with a slash across her throat and blood pooling around her head.
Two corpses are seen in a sewer with injuries on them.
A man is shot twice in the chest.
A man driving is shot through the head. Blood splatters onto the windshield. After his car crashes and explodes, his burning corpse is pulled out and dragged across the road.
A man is shot through the cheek and then shot through the hand as he raises it to shield his face. He's then shot multiple times in the back as he tries to run away. Bloody bullet wounds rip out of his chest and back. After the shooting he is seen covered in blood, dying slowly.
A man is shot across the neck. He lives.
A woman is shot in the chest and leg. Blood flows out of her wounds.
A man is shot though the hand and the bullet hits a man standing behind him in the head. Very bloody.
A man is shot in the chest and knees. Blood pours out as he falls to the gound. He then shoots himself in the head off camera (the shot is only heard)
A woman is attacked in her home. She later tells a man she was gang raped.
Some scenes of fighting(this includes a man getting punched several times in the head and having his nose broken) and threats of violence.

| profanity |
8/10 Quite a bit of swearing throughout the movie mostly from Stanley White.
About 30+ F's words but some instances can easily be missed though.
Racial slurs including chink, spic, nigger. Some offensive racist dialogue as well.The words "shit"and "bastards"are also used among other profanities.

| alcohol |
5/10 Not a lot of drinking,smoking or drugs per se but the whole movie focuses on an organization whose main dealings concern heroin.
Some characters drink and smoke.
Numerous talks of drug deals. |

6/10
Some of the violence is intense and unexpected, although much of it is subdued and plays like something from Dirty Harry.
The movie has a rather dark atmosphere since it focuses on the underworld of Chinatown.
The scene with the severed head, though not too graphic, might be the most disturbing thing in the movie.
32.5/50. Probable MPAA rating: R for strong bloody violence, language, and brief sexual content. |
