ReportSynopsis
Though she can spin wild tales of passionate romance, novelist Joan Wilder has no life of her own. Then one day adventure comes her way in the form of a mysterious package. It turns out that the parcel is the ransom she'll need to free her abducted sister, so Joan flies to South America to hand it over. But she gets on the wrong bus and winds up hopelessly stranded in the jungle.

Alligators are kept as pets in poor conditions. A bunch of them in a castle dungeon and then two babies on a boat just hanging out.

Snake gets beheaded. Birds that probably died in a bus crash. Alligator gets killed off-screen and turned into boots.

In the opening scene, which is actually from a fictional novel within the movie, we meet a bad guy who the heroine states raped her sister. He also tries to force the heroine to disrobe (unsuccessfully.)

I guess, but it was a short fall into an alligator pit. So you see, it wasn't the fall that killed them.

Danny DeVito's character, in Spanish, talking on the phone, uses a Spanish word that I believe is a slur.

Not much. A busted lip, some minor cuts. Right near the end of the film (about 1.5hrs in) Joan's hand is cut by a knife. The only true gorey bit of the movie happens shortly afterwards when the cop's hand is eaten by a crocodile.
