Sex and nudity in Logan Lucky
Light, non-explicit material only: brief glimpses of a see-through top and a mild flirtation (Jimmy and Sylvia) during a clinic scene. IMDb's parental notes list no explicit nudity but a user's report of a see-through top; nothing sexual is prolonged or graphic. Two short, flirtatious moments and a quick wardrobe glimpse are the entirety of sexual content.
Violence and gore in Logan Lucky
Mostly mild-to-moderate, non-graphic physical altercations and property damage: a bar brawl, arson of a car, a chaotic prison riot (punches and a trash-can fire), a small explosion used to blow a gate, and a comedic-yet-unsettling moment where a prosthetic arm is sucked into a vacuum. The film plays most of this for dark comedy rather than horror; wounds and blood are not shown in graphic detail. IMDb classifies the violence as mild, but some scenes (riot, explosion, the arm gag) may be unsettling to younger…

Frequent crude remarks and several strong words appear: IMDb notes two uses of the F-word (one barely audible), abuse of 'Christ,' and other salty regional swearing; there is also a child's crude joke about a song. Language is the main reason for the PG-13 rating and includes a mix of harsh and milder profanity throughout.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Logan Lucky
Alcohol is present throughout — Clyde runs a bar, characters drink repeatedly, and there are party/toast moments (including a final scene with shared drinks). There is no on-screen hard drug use depicted in the film; tobacco appears minimally. IMDb parental notes list drinking as the primary substance element.
Mature themes in Logan Lucky
Moderate themes: wartime injury/disability (Clyde lost his lower arm in Iraq), incarceration and prison life (Joe Bang and the staged riot), financial hardship, family strain (Jimmy's custody/relationship with daughter Sadie), and moral ambiguity about crime and who 'deserves' money. The movie treats these themes with irony and humor, but they are explicit plot drivers and occasionally emotionally pointed.
