Someone catches their spouse cheating and there's fighting and gunshots. Later people are shown with some light wounds, but they're all ok.

Yes, though the disney re-dub has dubbed them over with less offensive words. Still can lip read the slurs though.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I seem to remember homophobic slurs being used many times. Way more than twice.

No, there's a playboy magazine that's central to the plot, but we never see more than some very safe lingerie shots.

Kind of? The main character bears a resemblance to a model in a Playboy magazine and it is pointed out by several characters. At a party, two young men approach her and asks for her autograph, thinking she is the model, but they leave her alone upon realising they're wrong.

A car tire blows. And the windscreen is damaged by a stray bullet later when the car is parked. (Nobody's inside the car when this happens)
