Sex and nudity in Look Who's Talking Now!
Innuendo and themes of seduction are central to the plot. James's boss, Samantha, repeatedly and openly tries to seduce him, wearing revealing outfits and making suggestive comments. There is no nudity, but the intent is clear. The dogs' inner thoughts also contain some mild romantic and sexualized dialogue. The opening credits feature a stylized, cartoonish animation of a sperm and egg uniting to create puppies. The main married couple is shown kissing passionately, with implied but unseen intimacy.
Violence and gore in Look Who's Talking Now!
Violence is moderate and primarily involves animal peril. In a tense sequence, the stray dog Rocks is in a pound and is about to be euthanized before he is rescued. Later in the film, a family car with children inside slides off the road in a snowstorm. The climax features a tense confrontation where Rocks defends James from a pack of wolves; the dog is briefly shown with a minor limp, but is ultimately fine. A brief, jarring scene from a horror movie shows a demonic, bloody-mouthed cat lunging at the camera.
