Violence and gore in Fletch Lives

The movie features moderate language throughout, including roughly a dozen uses of mild profanity and anatomical insults. While the dialogue contains various instances of 'hell' and 'damn,' it stays within the boundaries of an 1980s PG rating. The verbal humor is primarily driven by witty sarcasm and irreverent wordplay.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Fletch Lives

These instances are background elements and do not involve excessive intoxication or substance abuse themes.
