George Rossi, who immigrated to the US and served in the Vietnam war, is now a Superintendent of a Queens apartment building. He finds himself quickly slipping into a depraved world which is fueled by the tenants of the building.
Hallucination about the protagonist getting raped in prison is played for laughs. He’s later raped for real in-universe and it’s, again, played for comedy.
Brief scene with a gay pedophile who is called the F-slur after the hero beats him as if the misrepresentation wasn’t clear enough. Even briefer scene with a trans-misogynistic caricature soon after (she’s even called the T-slur in the script). While a coincidence that the people behind the film couldn’t foresee, Elliot Page transitioned about a decade after this film so it’s a bit odd seeing him pre-transition IMO.
Very much so, several times. A man is raped by a man, a man is raped by a woman, and there's a prolonged scene in which a woman struggles desperately against a man trying to rape her.
Well... A man has the back of his head smashed in with repeated blows. Another man has his head split open. A woman has a large part of her head shot off.
You see the first event as it plays out, and you hear the sounds of his skull cracking, but you never see his head from the back. You see the results of the two other events close-up, and not just in a quick flash.
Two uses of the F-slur, both referring to gay men (one use is the Spanish equivalent but translated to English in the subtitles). “Gay” is used derogatorily at least twice.
Kevin Bacon uses the N-Word (hard R) to refer to a black man, very unnecessary IMO. There might have been another use by the guy who works with the hero at the cafe (it’s in the script) but I don’t remember for sure.
