Sex & Nudity

A key scene involves a main character being forced to produced a semen sample. Masturbation is described and, while not explicitly shown, we see his feet in the bathroom stall as he ostensibly masturbates. In another scene, a nude female dancer covering up with ostrich feathers is given extensive screen time, with brief glimpses of rear and frontal nudity. The film also contains a few other sexual innuendos and jokes

Violence & Gore

No graphic violence shown, but several violent explosions (some life-taking) are displayed at a distance. A needle deeply pierces a man's hand during an intense medical test.

Profanity

Film contains frequents mild profanities such as d--m, s--t, h--l, etc. Several clear uses of the "f" word. One character has a catchphrase that he repeats several times in the film: "F--kin' A." Also, one character says "Lord, please don't let me fuck up"

Smoking and drinking (including beer and hard liquor) at casual social events or in bars is common throughout the film.

As a movie about astronauts and test pilots, the movie contains many intense scenes, usually involving life-threatening situations in planes or spacecraft. Other intense situations depict the rigorous and painful tests and trainings the would-be astronauts experience.
