Sex & Nudity

None
5 of 7 found this to have none
A man enters a bedroom and there finds another man fully dressed and a woman half-dressed (nothing is shown - she is wearing something similar to a negligee and her long hair hides much, but she still covers herself with linens from the bed).
A man calls a woman a courtesan, implying that she provides sexual favors to another man. Other dialogue in the movie implies this, also. Nothing is shown or said explicitly to confirm it - everything is implied in the dialogue.
Women wear cleavage revealing dresses.

Violence & Gore

Mild
4 of 5 found this mild
A man fights an entire room of men single-handedly, throwing punches, using various weapons, and at one point throwing a knife which lands in another man's stomach and kills him (the impact is shown but with no blood). During the same fight, a different man kills another man (again, no blood); and another throws a spear, fatally impaling a woman through her stomach against the wall (again, no blood).
Samson battles the Philistines and slays 1,000 of them with a donkey's jawbone.
Samson commits suicide by crushing himself to death, along with the Philistines, by using his strength to bring down a building.
