P.U.N.K.S.

Cartoon action and comic violence throughout. Characters are punched, stunned, and shocked by an electric force, intimidated, shot at, chased, and thrown to the ground. Exaggerated fights include wrestling, choke holds, and an out-of-control strongman wreaking havoc in a lab. One scene contains a real fight with the hero's father badly beaten. Another finds a young boy on a bicycle careening through freeway traffic.

No swearing, but insults are heard occasionally ("nerd," "dumb"). A character grabs his crotch.

A woman smokes in a bar. The young heroes pretend to be adults and go into a bar. No alcohol is consumed.

Parents need to know that P.U.N.K.S. is a predictable "kids-face-bullies" offering with continuous cartoon violence: stun guns, electric shocks, brawling, chases, falls, threats, and gunshots. No one is severely injured or killed, though in one key scene the young hero's father is really badly beaten. Scientists are shown experimenting on sedated prisoners and other unwilling subjects. Mild insults are plentiful, but there's no swearing. Product placement is nonstop. Though scientific advancement is at the core of the story, any relationship to real science or technological information is absolutely accidental.
