Language
Furiosa is mild in language for a rated R movie, but you will hear words like hell, bastard, tits, testes, and piss.
Violence: Is Furiosa Kid Friendly?
Most of your R rating comes from violence in Furiosa, and warning: there is a constant violence throughout the film.

Is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Appropriate for Kids Under 17?
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is recommended for mature audiences only and is not for kids under 16 years old. While some children younger than that may be able to handle more violence than others, that is up to a parent’s discretion.
While a good summer blockbuster for adults, there is too much violence for younger kids. While Fury Road is a better film, Furiosa still delivers the adrenaline rush.
