Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

Typical Aliens-style violence includes chests exploding, teeth ripping flesh, acidic blood burning human faces. Standard Predator business includes hunting prey, shooting with lasers. A small boy watches his father get attacked by an alien and cries in terror; the father's arm falls off, and after the boy is also attacked, both of their chests explode to "birth" toothy, hissy little aliens. A small girl sees her father assaulted by an alien who crashes through her bedroom window and rips him up. An alien enters the pregnancy ward, sucks babies out of women, and implants its own babies inside; a later scene shows their bellies bursting open bloodily to reveal little aliens. Police officer is found dead, hanging upside down from a tree and skinned. Other images include a space ship crashing, heads blown off or shot through with Alien's penetrating jaw, a girl pinned to a wall by Predator's throwing star, bullies hitting and kicking Ricky, shooting at the aliens that produces blood and burning flesh, and blood all over. Alien-Predator fights feature punching, kicking, biting, shooting, throwing bodies against/through walls. Nuclear explosion kills some protagonists. A bully beats up one of the lead characters and throws his truck keys into the sewer grate.

Some women's T-shirts show cleavage. Brief flirtation between teenagers leads to invitation to "go swimming": girl removes her top to reveal lacy black bra and boy-short underpants. They kiss passionately, interrupted first by bullies, then aliens.

"Motherf--ker" used twice. "F--k" used several times. "A--hole," "bitch," "s--t," "d--khead," "Jesus Christ." A joke about a "sausage-lover's pizza" is meant to suggest that the boy who ordered it is gay. In reference to his ex-girlfriend, a jock bully type says that he "taught the slut everything she knows."

A couple of scenes show protagonists in a bar with drinks. Teens drinking beer while watching television. Two clerks in a sporting goods store admit to being "stoned." Homeless men drinking in a tunnel.

Parents need to know that Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is the 2007 sequel of the franchise. The violence is constant and unrelenting. While there are the expected scenes of the aliens and predator boring through chests, attacking faces, and impaling any and all victims (with plenty of blood and gore in each attack), that's only the beginning. Young children watch their parents get killed by the aliens and the predator; parents are torn up, lose limbs, scream in agony as they suffer horrible deaths. In a hospital, an alien enters a pregnancy ward, sucks the babies out of the mothers, then implants their own babies inside their wombs. Heads are blown off and smashed. A police officer is found dead in the woods, hanging upside down and skinned. Extended battles between humans and the invaders, with guns, machine guns, and lasers. Profanity regularly used, including "motherf--ker" twice and "f--k" used several times. Female teen character starts to remove her clothes in front of a teen boy, reveals bra and panties; they start to make out but stop when the bullies, and, later, aliens attack. A bully jock-type beats up one of the lead characters, then takes his truck keys and throws them into the sewer grate. This same bully, in a later scene, while talking about his ex-girlfriend, says that he "taught the slut everything she knows." Lead character makes a homophobic joke concerning a "sausage lovers pizza." Some drinking.
