Violence
This film contains intense scenes of shooting, explosions, fighting and destruction. Some of the strongest moments of violence include:
- Two men punch, kick, head butt, and throw each other. They’re both knocked through glass panes, thrown into walls, and one narrowly escapes, after the other throws an explosive device. Some blood is shown on them after the fight.
- During a brutal fist fight, one man dies after falling down an elevator shaft. We don’t see the resulting injuries from the fall.
- Many cars crash, explode, and fall off cliffs, implying their drivers and passengers were killed.
Sexual references
All of the Fast and Furious films depict women wearing tight mini shorts showing their partial buttocks. There are much less sexual themes than other Fast and Furious films.
Offensive language
The film contains the use of offensive language, with the words “sh*t” and “b*tch,” as well as one use of the word “f*ck.”
