Some very brief sexual instances.

When Jake is released from prison, he gets his stuff back; with one soiled and one unused condom

When the cops are driving through the mall, they drive through a portrait stand and a scantily clad woman is seen for about 1/2 second. It is very hard to notice.

There is a topless picture of a woman hanging on the wall in Elwood's room towards the beginning of the movie - very brief.

Very over-the-top comic violence.

Comic violence throughout, it is never grisly or graphic.

The brothers are thrown into various comical situations. Although weapons are pointed and fired, it is always played for laughs and the brothers always come up unharmed.

The scenes involving the Illinois Nazis don't involve racial slurs, but could be uncomfortable for some viewers to watch.

The brothers are chased throughout most of the film, but it's all played for comedy. A woman tries to kill them through various methods involving powerful handmade weapons.
