Parents Guide for
A Knight's Tale (2001)

William, Roland and Wat encounter Chaucer walking along, completely nude (we see several views of his bare butt - from behind and the side as he sits on the ground, but we don't see any explicit full frontal shots).

Throughout the movie, there are many scenes containing shots of contestants being hit with lances or knocked from their horses while jousting, including shots to armor-covered chests and faces where the wooden lances splinter upon the severe impact. In another such instance, a contestant is knocked from his ride that then lands on him as they also knock down a fence.

At least 4 uses of the "s" word, what sounded liked 1 slang term for breasts ("t*t"), 4 damns, 2 hells, 1 S.O.B., and 2 uses each of "For God's sakes" and "Oh God" and 1 use each of "God" and "Swear to God" as exclamations.

The various jousting scenes - especially ones where William seems injured or in danger of being injured or killed - may be unsettling or suspenseful to some younger viewers. The same holds true for the brief sight in one scene of a dead person hanging from a gallows, and another apparently dead person in a small cage.
