Sex & Nudity

  • A few strong sexual references.
  • Wet t-shirt contest showing partial nudity is shown in an very brief scene.
  • Kissing and mentions of sleeping with people.
  • Before a man starts a race, a woman grabs his hand and puts down her shirt onto her bare breasts and moves it around. Her breasts remained covered during this brief interaction.
  • A woman bends over and lifts up her skirt to flash a guy. She is wearing a thong however.
  • Numerous low-cut tops shows cleavage, some lace.
  • A woman gets out of a car wearing a skimpy golden outfit, which shows the lower part of her bum-cheeks. The camera follows her rear end for 3-4 seconds.
  • A woman wears a white top through which her nipples show. She is alone in a room with a man. Nothing more occurs.

Violence & Gore

  • Three cars race up to a semi and begin their hijacking attack on it. The driver of one shoots an arrow/harpoon into part of the windshield and yanks it out. He then climbs into the cab with the driver who repeatedly hits him with a bat/club before the attacker shoots him with something that renders him unconscious.
  • Vincent pushes Brian back against a car, causing Brian to punch Vincent who then drives Brian back against a vehicle. The two continue to struggle with Brian eventually being on top of Vincent and punching him until Dominic separates the two of them.
  • Johnny Tran and another man riddle Brian's empty car with machine gun fire (no one is hurt), causing the car to explode from the nitrous oxide canisters inside it.
  • A man is shoved to the ground and force-fed oil (we see him covered in oil and hear him gagging and coughing).
  • We see photos of a man's face covered with bloody stitches and hear that he had been beaten with a wrench.
  • A car hits a truck and flips over and crashes, wounding the driver (he's seen with a bloody head wound). Another car is pushed off the road and flips, injuring the driver (she's seen spitting blood).
  • There's a car chase (first with a man on foot and then in a car) and another car chase with guns being fired (two people end up dead).
