Maybe a borderline situation? When the prostitutes start using the super crack they are also all over Jeffrey who doesn't entirely seem to be into it. This is portrayed humorously.

The stitches holding a character's neck together split open from the front, causing her head to dangle behind her with some gore. Later a character is also fully decapitated by a machete.

At the party the sex workers all explode and start on fire. However it is massively obvious they are dummies when it happens

If smoking crack that makes you explode counts then sure, but generally I'd say no.

There is a small model of a human shown. Also, the disembodied arms and legs might come across a bit mannequin-like.

A crossdressing/trans prostitute is listed as a transvestite in the credits, but this is very easy to overlook.

Needle is seen being used to sew body parts together. No medical needles are used, but Jeffrey using a drill on his brain multiple times could maybe squick out someone with a fear of injection.

You could probably make some psychoanalytic point about Jeffrey, though what his exact deal is is unclear.

To counter the other comment a bit, there is definitely emphasis put on Elizabeth's weight issues at the beginning of the film. I think the dieting and her being "fat" is discussed enough to count.

No slurs but there is homophobia. Two female characters are shown kissing and another one shouts at them to stop saying "that's not natural!"
