Violence

This film contains intense scenes of shooting, explosions, fighting and destruction. Some of the strongest moments of violence include:

• A woman is shot out the open door of a plane by a hi-tech spear gun. Though no blood is seen, death it heavily implied.
• A man punches a criminal in the mouth, making him bleed.
• During a bloody prison fight, an inmate stabs another inmate with a DIY knife.
• In a flashback scene, a woman is thrown into a ditch after her car explodes and we hear she developed permanent amnesia.

Sexual references

All of the Fast and Furious films depict women wearing tight mini shorts showing their partial buttocks. There are much fewer sexual references than other Fast and Furious films.

Offensive language

The film contains the use of offensive language, with the words “sh*t,” “a*s,” and “b*tch,” as well as one use of the word “f*ck.”
