| Message | Courage and perseverance are major themes. Positive messages about how to reach your goals, making dreams come true through hard work and determination, and not allowing naysayers to get you down. Also shows how competitors help one another get better in their sport. |
| Role model | Eddie is determined to attend the Olympics and doggedly pursues his goal despite incredible odds. When the Olympic committee makes it even harder to qualify, Eddie continues to improve his ability and gets in. He embodies the spirit of loving the sport and the competition, even if he comes in last. Bronson sees beyond the goofy facade to the dedication within Eddie and helps him train for the Olympics. Eddie's mother is supportive of his dreams. |
| Violence | Some ski jumpers get injured during training and at the Olympics. Eddie winds up in the hospital after breaking some bones. |
| Sex | More is suggested than shown: Bronson encourages Eddie to think of his ski jumping as lovemaking, with an emphasis on making the same noise during his "release." A ski jumper makes a joke about how many women he can have. A pub owner propositions Eddie, who doesn't seem comfortable with her advances. In one scene, the Norwegian ski jump team is all naked and taking a sauna together; their bare chests and legs are visible. The lead ski jumper makes a joke that if he couldn't jump, he'd spend all his time having sex. |
| Language | Occasional use of words including "s--t," "git," "sod," "arse," "bloody," etc. |
| Consumerism | Burton, Fischer ski equipment. |
| Drugs | Lots of drinking, particularly at pubs but also at home. Eddie refrains but is encouraged to do shots the night before the Olympics opening ceremony. Cigarette smoking. Bronson is a borderline alcoholic. |

| Faith | None |
| Sex | A woman comes on to Eddie a bit when she finds him sleeping in a closet, but nothing happens, and they become good friends; a coach talks about making love and approaching a jump the same way, and he raises his voice in excitement, but the scene doesn't get overly graphic and doesn't last long; a comment about fornication. |

| Violence | A man is punched; skiing accidents, with skiers falling hard from great heights. |
| Drugs | Drinking and a few bar scenes; a man battles drinking a lot and is shown drinking from a flask, but he eventually starts winning the war against it; a young man talks a non-drinking man into drinking, and he is late for an appointment the next day; the mention of champagne and German beer; man smokes cigarettes in some scenes. |
| Nudity | Cleavage in a few scenes; men in a sauna are shirtless, and one man only has a bucket covering his front body; man's thighs and sides are visible in sauna; breasts visible on small figures on a wall. |
| Other | Some people, including his father, doubt Eddie's abilities; tension between characters; men make fun of Eddie; a man spits; a "pee" comment. |
