Another brief scene shows a priest accidentally receiving an inflatable doll, with a nipple visible through a hole in the packaging.
Violence and gore in Superwho?
Violence is moderate but consistently played for laughs, with a slapstick and cartoonish tone. There are multiple action scenes including fistfights, a car crash caused by a prop explosive, and characters being knocked out. Cédric fights police officers and a real criminal gang, using prop gadgets in mostly ineffective ways. A character is accidentally shot in the buttocks off-screen, reported in a comedic news broadcast. No blood or gore is shown.
Language in Superwho?
Moderate profanity is used throughout. Subtitles likely contain uses of "shit" and other expletives consistent with a PG-13 rating. The tone of the language is often exasperated or part of comedic outbursts.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Superwho?
Substance use is present in a key scene where a character's hallucination is revealed to be drug-induced. Characters also drink alcohol socially, such as wine and champagne at a birthday party. There is no focus on addiction or glamorization of substance abuse.
Mature themes in Superwho?
The central themes are amnesia and mistaken identity, handled with a comedic approach. The film also touches on themes of pursuing one's dreams against failure, and a son seeking the approval of his disapproving father. Peril and kidnapping are present but are part of the comedic misunderstanding and lack genuine menace.
