The film is a comedic action movie centered on lifeguards fighting a criminal enterprise, with its generic themes of individual heroism and corporate villainy being largely apolitical and not promoting any specific ideological agenda.
The film demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit recasting of traditionally white lead roles with minority actors. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, maintaining a focus on action-comedy.
The film features Summer Quinn, a lifeguard, who engages in and wins a direct physical altercation against a male opponent during a climactic action sequence.
The 2017 film adaptation features several legacy characters from the original TV series portrayed by actors of a different race. Notably, Mitch Buchannon, originally white, is played by Dwayne Johnson (Black/Samoan), and Stephanie Holden, also originally white, is played by Ilfenesh Hadera (Black).
Baywatch (2017) does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on heterosexual relationships and traditional action-comedy tropes, resulting in no depiction of queer identity or experiences.
The 2017 film adaptation of "Baywatch" retains the original genders for its main legacy characters from the TV series, such as Mitch Buchannon and C.J. Parker. No established character from the source material was portrayed with a different gender.
