Deadpool: parents' guide

Bloody and nearly nonstop: heads cut off with swords, gory head shots, bones snapped, and a man burned before he is killed. Wade is tortured at length, including waterboarding and near-suffocation, and later saws off his own hand to escape cuffs.

Profanity in almost every scene: Plugged In counted about 75 f-words and 40 s-words, plus "motherf--ker," "p---y," "c--k," "a--hole" and more. The n-word is heard, and sexual innuendo is constant.

Wade meets Vanessa while she works as an escort, and a comic montage shows them having sex through a year of holidays, with bare breasts. A strip club shows topless dancers and a fully nude woman, Wade fights naked, and masturbation is implied.

Much of the story is set in a bar where Wade and his friends drink, sometimes until drunk. A character smokes, and cocaine comes up a couple of times in dialogue. No drug use is shown.

Wade is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and his torture in a secret clinic is drawn out and grim. Close-ups of his scarred, disfigured skin can upset some viewers, though the jokes keep it from feeling like horror.
