- A car flips over showing the driver with a bloody face, before the car explodes and the driver is engulfed in flames.
- One man spits blood, with some blood on his face after a fight.
- Several men with various weapons (bats, chains, and pipes) pursue a man through an alley.
Sexual references
The film contains sexualised depictions of women, mostly as race or flag girls, with many women wearing revealing clothing and bikinis at street racing events.
One woman starts a race by taking off her bra and throwing it (with her shirt still on), and one teen is introduced with a very low angle shot of her underwear looking up her skirt.
As a teenager arrives at his father’s apartment, a woman rushes out from his room with messy hair and heavy makeup. It’s implied that she is a sex worker.
