When the POW asked what year it was, Rambo said "1985".
The French and Arabic subtitles said "1943".

Since "Black Panther" is an action movie (Comic Super Hero), there is no "sex or nudity" and I think maybe one or two scenes of a kiss. The rest of it is pretty much some dialog and action action action. It's also rated PG-13 so no "f-bombs" in it.
