Not on screen, but a character thinks that there is a dead rat when there isn't, and there is some taxidermy, as well as sardines being eaten at one point.

There’s a neighbor woman in the movie who is kinda portrayed as a “trophy wife” and plays a role of the hot wife that all the neighbor men gawk at. Additionally, the women/wives in the movie are portrayed as “wet blankets” to every situation the neighbor dudes get themselves into and the men having to sneak around them so they don’t try to take them away from family time or vacations. So, some subtle sexism-esque situations. As a woman it was irritating, but I could remember the time it was filmed in and still got some laughs from it (again, the ridiculousness of it for it’s time too lol).
