Parents guide

Albert kicks a bird in the balls. The back of the balls of the bird are seen being kicked.

A man says he had a sexual experience with his uncle.

There is brief nudity and no sex scenes in this movie - but there is a lot of sexual dialog and innuendo.

Edward is waiting for his girlfriend in a salon. Ed's girlfriend is having sex with an older man offscreen and we hear Ruth shout, 'Shoot That Dirty Cowboy Cum All Over My Face!'

Edward has a discussion with a bartender and the bartender asks Edward, 'Do you mind it when Ruth is screwed by several guys a day?' Edward replies, 'Well, my job isn't that easy too.'

Edward insinuates that Ruth's breath smells like semen.

A bartender tells Ruth, 'I think my boss wants anal.'

Albert's father farts and shouts, 'That came out of my penis!'

On a date, Edward tells Ruth, 'Honey, you've got a bit of...you know, on your face.' Edward means 'sperm' and he wipes it with his handkerchief off her face.

Ruth is implied to be a hooker

Many, many people get killed in many different ways (hence the title). Some are gory, some are not.

Several people are shot dead.

One man is killed by a bull, we can see the bulls horn going into the man and there is a little visible blood on the mans shirt.

A photographer shoots a portrait of a man and a woman, who explode into flames with the background scenery; the man and the woman wave their arms and jump as two other men shoot at them with rifles (no blood); they fall backward, the photographer falls to the ground in flames and we see his bloody, severed arm burning in close up.

A falling block of ice smashes a man's head as it knocks him to the ground; we see a lot of brown splatter shootout in all directions and the corner of the ice block is seen to be covered in red blood on top of a smashed man's body (a hat, an arm and a leg are sticking out).

A man lies dead in the street (for three days, we hear) and we see two wolves drag the body away at night; the next day, a dog retrieves a severed calf and foot from the body, a man throws it offscreen and we hear a woman scream loudly.

Bandits stop an elderly man, steal his gold and the ringleader shoots the old man in the chest, killing him (no blood) as he falls backward offscreen.

During a shootout a man shoots another in the arm (we see torn fabric), while the other man shoots the first man's gun out of his hand.

A man dies of snake venom which was in a bullet that grazed his arm; the wounded man stumbles and slurs his speech, then falls to the ground in the street and a man and a woman stand by the body and the woman says the man is dead.

Two men start a gunfight and one of the men backs out; the other man shoots the first man in the lower leg with a glancing shot, felling him (we see no blood, but there is a black bullet mark on his boot later).

'Fuck' is said 43 times.

'Shit' is said 28 times.

'Ass' and 'asshole' are said several times.

'Balls' is said several times in a vulgar context.

See "Sex and Nudity" section. A lot of sexual dialog and sex related jokes. These usually contain profanity.

Albert (Seth MacFarlane) is depicted to use a drug and he sees some CGI sheep penises. The scene lasts about five minutes.

The main character seems to open to drug-taking in some scenes, although the movie does not encourage drug-taking.

Anna asks Albert, 'if he takes any types of drugs such as pot?' Albert responds by saying, 'No way. It's too dangerous.'

Two people eat a pot cookie and later appear stoned.

Albert gets drunk in one scene.

Albert takes a hallucinogen and experiences a "trip".

Albert rolls a cigarette.

Several scenes are in a western saloon where drinking is occurring. In one of the scenes several persons appear drunk.

There is a reference to racism in the movie due to the time period that it is set in, which may be difficult for some viewers.

Seth MacFarlane acts a character in "A Million Ways to Die in the West" who says something very heavy regarding the sole purpose of himself, but justifies it by specifying the time period.

The many depictions of death many be difficult for some viewers.

The corner of a huge ice block is depicted to crush a character's head, turning it to pulp. Depictions of blood and guts splatter. This scene is unexpected and can be a shock. But Albert and Edward play it off a little bit so that it is not frightening and is not disturbing.
