Close enough. Two sex workers are very violently beaten by their johns, and their pimp makes derogatory remarks that they "needed" the beating.

There aren't any rude statements, but there is a large character named "Tiny" (which is also the nickname of the actor in real life). He has a small part but plays a heroic role.

Yes. It's not graphically depicted, but a man who is shown as being less than sober in a pool hall earlier in the movie puts down his heroin accessories and renounces it by the end of the movie. Also, another man who is either homeless or on his way has a severe alcohol problem.

A severely drunken man passes out on the street. He is later shown going into an employment agency very drunk.

No, but heroin works are shown on screen as someone swears it off now that his life has meaning.

Sun Ra is "kidnapped", though he is clearly in control the entire time.

There are a lot of racial slurs in this movie. The context is that it is a strongly pro-Black film that was made for Black people by Black people. The slurs reflect 1970's American society and the movie has many explicitly stated pro-Black messages.

Kinda. There is a small amount of extremely fake 70's blood in two scenes, and I definitely wouldn't refer to it as "gore".
