After discovering he's not really black like the rest of his family, likable dimwit Navin Johnson runs off on a hilarious misadventure in this comedy classic that takes him from rags to riches and back to rags again. The slaphappy jerk strikes it rich, but life in the fast lane isn't all it's cracked up to be and, in the end, all that really matters to Johnson is his true love.
This movie contains 13 potentially triggering events.
Yes,the first relationship has a woman hitting him, having agressive but implied sex, and threatening him. It is mostly played for laughs, and he gets out of it soon after.
the protagonist pulls a real dog by his leash, and it's clear the dog doesn't enjoy it. however, it's a very brief scene and the dog is shown perfectly happy and healthy in every other scene he's in. also, the protagonist is shown black & white footage of a performer juggling kittens. while being juggled, the kittens are obviously replaced by plush props for absurdity's sake and the bit is played for laughs. very lighthearted and goofy.
yes and no. a woman handles the protagonist sexually (grabbing his butt, pushing him onto a bed) without his explicit consent, as he's too innocent and naïve to realize what's happening. once he realizes it, however, he happily reciprocates.
the protagonist enters a relationship with a possessive woman using him only for s*x, although he does enjoy it. while still in this relationship, he begins dating the main love interest, and on their first date, she says she "kind of" already has a boyfriend. the possessive woman catches them on their date, and then is never seen or mentioned again. although the main love interest's "kind of" boyfriend is also never mentioned again, she does sing a love song with the protagonist that mentions the subject of the song "belonging to somebody new", which implies it is a love song directed towards someone already in a relationship.
the N-word with a hard R is used three times in quick succession. while discussing financial plans for apartments, two of the protagonist's advisors say they'll "keep out the n*ggers". the protagonist, who grew up believing he's black, yells "you're talking to a n*gger!" and beats them up. the usage ultimately has anti-racist intentions, but it's by far the harshest language in the movie, and is very sudden.

no onscreen s*x scenes, but the outside of a trailer and the outside of a ferris wheel carriage are shown shaking as the protagonist has s*x inside. a blowjob is mentioned, but not shown.
There is video of a car crash during the courtroom scene, it is from afar and the car is totalled from falling off a cliff and exploding with people inside.
in addition to the other comment, a man's wife is shown being executed by firing squad for a minor misdemeanor. the jokes are that her offense was so small, and that the man gets over her death very quickly. although it is played for laughs and not very realistic, her death *is* onscreen.
