There is a scene of a driver and his girlfriend walking along a beach with several topless women in the background.

Several of the cars are sponsored by tobacco or alcohol brands, some drivers, fans and marshals are shown smoking/drinking.

There is a shot in the version called "The Quick and the Dead" that shows a track worker being struck by a car during a race. A multi-car crash is shown that is quite intense. There is a shot of a driver pulling a fellow driver from his burning car as his gloves and pant-legs catch fire. There is also footage of Roger Williamson's fatal crash in which his car flipped and caught fire, trapping him underneath it for five minutes as one of his competitors tries in vain to help.
