In one slapstick scene, the three main characters tackle another woman onto a couch, tie her to a chair, and gag her with an apple; she is unharmed and escapes shortly after. An electrical outlet sparks and smokes when a phone charger is plugged in. A character accidentally knocks over a row of scooters.
