Sex & Nudity

  • Native Americans are shown in loincloths, including one scene in which a man's glute is slightly visible.
  • A man cuts another man's suspenders in a bar fight, causing his trousers to fall down. His long underwear is clearly visible.
  • Mike Fink is shown bare-chested as he goes for a swim. River pirates are also portrayed shirtless.
  • Mike Fink rips a crew member's shirt and uses it as a towel. The man's bare back is showing.
  • None.

Violence & Gore

  • A man graphically describes river pirates as having scalped and sliced men in boats to pieces.
  • Fighting, but humorous.
  • A brief bar fight.
  • Crockett and Russell have a brawl with the pirate leaders inside a cave. A pirate tries to burn Crockett with a torch, but Crockett kicks the man away from him. Various other makeshift weapons are employed, including a chain, sickle, and pitchfork. One pirate is ostensibly blown up, but nothing is portrayed graphically.
  • People on different keelboats racing against each other fight their way to the finish line with their huge oars.

Profanity

  • Racial slurs, including "redskin" and "injun."
  • Two uses of "jackass."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Mike Fink and the pirate ringleader are shown smoking.
  • Lots of drinking by river men. George Russel is shown inebriated and going around in circles on a chandelier after Mike Fink makes him drink a strong, alcoholic concoction.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Crockett and Russel are kidnapped by Chickasaw Indians after they are caught in snares and hang upside down. Both are shown tied up and gagged, and the scene is fairly intense.
  • Mike Fink bullies his crew by yelling at them and physically abusing them at times.
  • In one scene, a pirate tries to burn Crockett with a torch, but Crockett kicks the man away from him. This scene may be frightening for younger viewers.
