Back to the Future: parents' guide

Includes an attempted sexual assault: a drunk Biff forces his way into a car with teenage Lorraine and gropes at her as she struggles, until she's rescued; it's brief and partly off camera. Terrorists shoot a main character with automatic weapons. Also fistfights and chases.

About half a dozen s-words and a dozen damns, with repeated bitch, bastard, hell, ass and asshole, and frequent use of God's and Jesus' names. In the 1955 scenes, a few racial epithets are aimed at Black characters, including the dated term 'colored.'

Marty wakes in his future mother's bed without his pants as she remarks on his underwear, and she later flirts, rubs his leg and kisses him. George peeps at a woman in her bra and panties, and Marty hints at a weekend getaway with his girlfriend.

Teenage Lorraine sneaks liquor from her mother, brings a bottle on her date with Marty and smokes. Her adult self is a heavy drinker, Biff is drunk during the assault, and musicians climb out of a car hazy with marijuana smoke.

Early on, terrorists open fire in a mall parking lot, a jarring scene for younger kids. Later tension comes from a farmer firing a shotgun, a skateboard chase, the attack on Lorraine and a lightning-timed race atop a clock tower.
