An explosion accidentally killed a family of rabbits on set. Stanley Kubrick, said to be an animal lover, was said to be so sad over this accident, that he stopped production for a whole day. No deliberate animal harm was done, but that accident happened.

in the first half of the movie, a character experiences a mental breakdown and kills another character and then himself in a very graphic way. if you want to watch this movie but avoid the scene, stop when a character is on night watch and enters the bathroom.

A lot of abuse from the drill instructor in the first half of the film is homophobic in nature, although none of the characters are LGBT+.

Multiple realistic scenes of gun violence. It is a war movie, after all.
