7 Reasons You Won't Want To Take The Kids To See 'The Lone Ranger'

Two gross-out scenes.

Two gross-out scenes.

Here's where the distasteful factor enters.

There's nothing appealing about seeing a grown man urinate into a bucket near the start of a Disney movie.

Later on, the film zones in on a defecating horse. There was no added value to show Armie Hammer get dragged through animal feces.

It was just vile. Not funny.

The notorious heart-eating scene.

The notorious heart-eating scene.

You've probably heard this one by now. 

Early on in the movie, Cavendish puts an end to John Reid's (Hammer) brother and then cuts his heart out. 

You would think that would be enough, but Cavendish then goes and eats it!

You don't see it on screen. Instead the audience hears the slosh as Cavendish digs in. We also see it reflected in Hammer's eye as he lay partially unconscious next to his deceased brother.

Carnivorous, fanged rabbits.

There's a scene where a flock of adorable bunnies come on the screen, and you think "Aww. Cute." 

That thought leaves your mind quickly as you witness the cute and cuddly rabbits transform into piranha-like, cannibalistic animals tearing apart at the flesh of one of their own. 

The scene is one of many "why is this in the film" moments.

If you don't get enough of them in this scene, they come back for another take at the end.

Before entering a whorehouse, Hammer and Depp walk through a town where there's a man visibly dangling from a rope.

That's a fun one to explain to kids.

A visit to a brothel and pornography references.

There are a few references where a pamphlet for a brothel appear, inviting an awkward situation for parents once an inquisitive child asks "What's that?"

After Reid and Tonto head inside, we're met with plenty of women with plunging dresses.

Helena Bonham Carter — who is one of the best parts of the film — has a well-placed star tattoo to draw even more attention to her already large bosom.

A man's throat is slit in front of a child.

We don't see the brutality full-out on screen.

Rather, we view it through a child's eyes as a silhouette of the action being performed.
