a dog is in very minor danger for a short moment but is not injured and is completely fine (an egg is thrown at someone holding a dog, it’s really not a huge amount of danger)

One character is a “hand model” and keeps his hand in a special glass container to prevent it from aging. Zoolander later steps on the man’s hand container and breaks the glass. The hand appears to be unharmed and there is no blood.

A character is restrained in a chair in order to “brainwash” him. The movie is very silly so this scene is not very scary, but could be triggering.

A character says that she was fat as a child and Zoolander says “Ew!”. It seemed clear to me that the joke was how messed up it was for him say that, not that there is anything actually wrong with being fat.

Zoolander and Owen Wilson’s character use race-face to disguise themselves as BIPOC working at Mugatu’s event to sneak into it. They’re physically portrayed by nonwhite actors in this scene IIRC but their voices are the same. Gag where Zoolander is covered in coal dust and made to look like blackface. Also what the other comment says.

no but there might be black face. it’s not a racial caricature but a white man covers his face in coal dust to scare someone.
later, it’s implied that characters use race face to sneak into somewhere; however, they are represented by actors of color and the original actors voices are dubbed in

The character "Ballstein" is a conglomeration of Jewish businessman stereotypes, though he is not an irredeemable villain.
