Any drug use will initially require at least a PG13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG13 rating, but such nudity in PG13 rated film generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be violence scene in a PG13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence.A single use of one of the rude words in a film, though only as an expletive (感嘆語), initially requires at least a PG13 rating. More than one such bad word requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context.
