Sex and nudity in Supercross

Content is moderate, fitting the PG-13 rating. Two characters kiss on a couple of occasions. There is one scene where a man and woman are shown in bed together, kissing passionately before the scene ends, implying they have sex; no nudity is shown, and they are partially clothed and under sheets.

Violence and gore in Supercross

Violence is frequent but stays within the context of the extreme sport. There are many scenes of motocross racing which include numerous high-speed crashes, with riders flipping over their bikes and hitting the ground hard. One character is intentionally knocked off his bike, and another crashes badly, resulting in a significant but non-graphic injury. A brief fistfight breaks out between two rivals, involving a few punches.

Language in Supercross

Language is moderate and is a primary reason for the PG-13 rating. The dialogue includes uses of "s--t," "ass," "bitch," "hell," and "damn." There is at least one use of "son of a bitch."

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Supercross

Substance use is very mild. Characters are briefly seen drinking beer at parties or in social settings, but there is no emphasis on this behavior and no drunkenness is depicted.

Mature themes in Supercross

Thematic content revolves around intense sibling rivalry and loyalty, the pressures of corporate sponsorship in sports (including being asked to throw a race), and recovering from injury. The death of the main characters' father is a background element that motivates them, but it is not depicted.
