After a friend overdoses, Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their drug habits and attempt to enroll in a government detox program. Their efforts are hampered by seemingly endless red tape, as they are shuffled from one office to another while being chased by drug dealers and the police.
I don't think so? The three main characters seem to have a sexually fluid relationship, and a threesome is at least discussed at one point. But it all seems to be consensual.
Definitely not in the way this question intends. A man slaps a woman a little bit solely because she's unresponsive and he is trying to wake her up. Not intended as abuse at all.
One of the main character is revealed to be HIV positive. Honestly not sure if this is considered "terminal" nowadays, so apologies if it isn't. It might also be worth mentioning though that he's said to be broke on multiple occasions and likely will not be able to afford treatment.
Two scenes of gore, I don't think they are excessive but it depends on individual opinion. In the first, a man is found murdered in his apartment, his face is bloody. In the second, a man is shot. He then stabs his friend with a dull knife. However, this second scene is comedic and the wounds are not shown explicitly, just some blood.
In the first scene, they put Thandie Newton in a bathtub full of water to try to wake her up when she's overdosing. Not intended to be sexual or anything like that.
Not sure of time stamp, but right after they pull back the guy who’s face down on the ground, one of the guys spontaneously vomits (idk the characters names I only watched briefly bc someone in my house was watching lol)
I mean, probably not in the way this question is intended. But the two main characters are junkies and they're seen shooting up. In another scene, a man tells his friend to stab him and the friend does - this is part of a plan though, and not because the man actually wants to be hurt.
A dead man is found in his apartment. Later, a news segment is shown talking about how his pregnant girlfriend was found dead in the closet. This isn't shown though, only mentioned.
Tim Roth says it like 3 or 4 times. Tupac laughs it off and tells another black man that he "thinks he's black." It's maybe implied Roth's character is being intentionally reckless, but it's never explicitly explained why he says it.
The characters casually discuss a news segment about a transgender woman. They wonder about why she transitioned if she is attracted to women. It seems to play on a lack of understanding from the characters though rather than intending to actually make fun of the trans woman.
Nothing excessive. A woman invites a man to have a threesome, but he declines. Thandie Newton's breasts are seen twice, but it's brief and the content is not sexual.
