In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers call themselves The Ex-Presidents commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. The F.B.I. believes that the members of the gang could be surfers and send young agent Johnny Utah undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information.
This movie contains 30 potentially triggering events.
Yes, a dog is kicked, but it’s a fake dog. The director explains this on IMDb.n
“This scene was shot using a fake dog and a real one. The real dog was gently tossed by the trainer into the actor's arms close by. The dog had been prepped for this and was comfortable with the action. The ground was padded underneath them to insure complete safety. The toss was completed successfully and no harm came to the animal. A fake dog was used when Utah kicked the dog.”
Not on screen, and it's not a major plot point, but one of the main character's backstory is that her parents died years ago. It's briefly mentioned near the beginning of the film, then not brought up again.
There are no razors, however there is one scene with a working lawn mower and the risk of someone getting hurt by it. No one is hurt in the end, but the scene is very intense, so I recommend to be careful if you're terrified of blades and cutting.
Not the standard police themselves, but the FBI. It's a film about an FBI agent going undercover to catch bank robbers, so there are a number of scenes of FBI agents working the bank robbery case and a lot of the main guy lying to get close to/manipulate people whilst he's undercover. No prison scenes, no police brutality, no police uniforms (the fbi guys are all in suits), no scenes involving police racism.
No, BUT there's a scene right near the beginning of the film where a guy falls whislt surfing, accidentally almost drowns and the person who saves him mentions him "killing himself".
On the one hand, no black characters are killed off or experience racism :D! On the other hand, this is because the only black character is a sidecharacter on screen for 2 seconds
A man shows his bare butt (cheek spread), a woman is seen in the house raid entirely naked showering, then seen bashing Utah’s head into a mirror (while also completely naked), and a woman in very very skimpy underwear from the back (basically her entire butt is shown and her boobs are basically hanging out)
