It also depicts the use of marijuana, alcohol, Nitrous Oxide, tobacco, ecstasy, and Special K, a.k.a. ketamine. The original version of the film was rated NC-17, although an R-rated cut version is available.

The movie includes a large portion of sexual dialogue related to intercourse, oral sex, and other sexual topics. It also depicts scenes of rape, physical violence, drug deals, and shoplifting. It is considered by some to be a wakeup call to the world about the nature of present day youth in the city.
