  • A teenage girl gets angry with her boyfriend and punches him a few times; he then grabs her and throws her to the ground. After he gets back in his truck, she grabs a crowbar and starts smashing his truck's headlights and windshield. He gets out and slaps her in the face, knocking her to the ground, and then drives away. She is later shown with a black eye and a cut on her lip.
  • A man suddenly slaps his daughter.
  • There's a rather intense scene involving a bus race. One bus catches on fire and slams into another, resulting in an explosion. A few characters receive minor injuries.

  • A teenage boy is punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a man who is then cracked over the head with a bottle. The teenager is later shown with a bloody nose.

  • After winning (something like a NASCAR) race, the driver has his girlfriend steal the checkered flag and has her hold it aloft while he does a victory lap. She is hanging out the race car's window while she does this, and there is a possibility that she could fall out and get hurt. Her friend, a girl who watches from the sidelines, is terribly frightened by this, and lectures her angrily about how she was risking her life unnecessarily, and doesn't talk to her for days.
