The Ridiculous 6

All comic and exaggerated, all the time. Gunfights, knife fights, fistfights, narrow escapes, a decapitation, a hanging, sexual threats to women, strangling, bugs crawling over a man's face, a bird pecking a man's head, an ax in a crotch, a mother shot in the stomach (off camera, but her child reacts), steep falls, dragging, a beating with a club. A man uses a spoon to "scoop out" his one good eye.

Frequent sexual jokes and innuendo involving male genitals, a giant rock phallus, anal penetration, and penis size. Women treated as sexual objects throughout: leered at, threatened, demeaned. Except for the Apaches, women are all portrayed as prostitutes and wear skimpy clothing. When a mentally challenged young man asks his father about how a woman has a baby, the answer is, "She just poops it out."

Frequent: cursing and insults ("a--hole," "bitch," "s--t"), ethnic slurs ("Injun" "greasy Mexican"), and toilet humor ("d--k," "pecker," "butthole," "turds," a donkey sends out multiple gigantic projectile poops). Native American women are named "Never Wears Bra" and "Beaver Breath."

One character is an alcoholic. Moonshine and other alcoholic beverages consumed in numerous saloon scenes.

Parents need to know that The Ridiculous 6 is a Netflix original movie and a terrible gross-out comedy. When it isn't dwelling on slapstick violence (a beheading, hordes of bugs crawling over the face of a man buried up to his neck, an ax in a crotch) or gunfights, knife fights, and fistfights, the film is reaching down to the lowest depths for humor (a donkey spraying poop everywhere, fun made of handicaps and the mentally disabled, gang rape being threatened). Stereotyping meant as humor is consistently lowbrow; Native Americans, Mexicans, and women are all ridiculed. Language moves from cursing to ethnic slurs to toilet humor and then on to debasing sexual jokes and innuendo. A legion of "Friends of Adam Sandler" have signed on for this debacle. It's pretty clear that Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, John Turturro, Blake Shelton, Jon Lovitz, and other celebrities came onto the set, worked a day or two, and, hopefully, never knew what the movie was really going to look like. Why else would they have participated?
