DOA: Dead or Alive

Most main characters are clever, brave, strong women. While fierce competitors, they often wear bikinis or underwear, and the camera focuses on their bodies. Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate, and Hayabusa are Asian characters with substantial roles in the story, and many background characters are Asian too (DOA was filmed in China and Thailand). Some costumes and sets are a little stereotypical (Buddha statues everywhere, women in qipao dresses). Tina's dad thinks she's attracted to women and is happy for her.

Video-gamey violence includes kicks, karate chops, punches, body slams, flips, falls from great heights, sword fights, crotch grabs/kicks, needle stabs/pricks, head-butts, bites, breaking bones (with crackling sound effects), eye gougings, martial arts weapons (stars, poles, etc.), and explosions. None of the fighting leads to bloodshed, permanent injury, or death. Pirates appear with guns but don't use them. (Spoiler alert!) The island explodes at the end (in slow motion, of course).

Men and women wear swimsuits and underwear. The camera focuses on women's bodies (torso, bottom, back). Christie first appears in the shower, then a towel as she battles intruders (she puts her underwear on to distract them, eventually tossing her bra into the air, accompanied by brief profile shots of her breasts that are suggestive rather than explicit). Max and Christie embrace in bed and flirt; Zack "comes on" to Tina in a hot tub; she flirts, then leaves with his swimsuit (he gets out naked, covering his genitals). Other characters are also seen in bed together. A battle between two women takes place in rain and slow motion. Several characters become couples and kiss at the end of the film, inspiring Tina to tell them to "get a room."

Several uses of "s--t," plus "ass," "hell," and "son of a b--" (it's cut off in mid-utterance).

Characters drink what looks to be beer, champagne, and wine.
