Usage of the term "hermaphrodite" may be offensive to some, however it is used in a neutral medical sense and is a product of its time. Some may also be put off by pornography involving "chicks with dicks" being played as a joke.

The main character Dante as well as the nine titled segments within the film are references to Dante's Inferno and the nine layers of Hell, but this is easy to overlook.

A character is grabbed by the throat and briefly choked during a fight scene; this is largely played as humorous, but the character is shown rubbing his neck and complaining about it later, implying it did mild damage.
