Factual error: When the house explodes, there is a massive explosion and fireball that creates a pressure wave strong enough to send Brian flying into the van. However, not a single window breaks on the houses just feet from the explosion. (00:15:40)
Factual error: When we see Shaw at the hospital it is in London. However, the plugs above the bed are two pronged American style outlets. (00:01:15)
Factual error: Hobbs gets the mini gun off the drone. He then proceeds to shoot down the helicopter. Being a mounted mini gun, there should be no way he can fire the gun manually. (01:51:45)
Factual error: Brian, when confronted with the drone for the first time, goes "old school" by driving under the lorry trailer. However, trailers don't have anywhere near enough ground clearance for that car to fit, no matter how much the car suspension was lowered. It only works here because the trailer has been artificially lifted. (01:34:25)
Factual error: We see the cars in a transport plane at high altitude. However no-one has an oxygen mask. A requirement at that altitude. (00:39:00)
Factual error: The climax of the movie is an attack helicopter chasing our titular heroes around the city. This military helicopter is allowed to (a) fly into restricted airspace and (b) shoot a load of missiles/drones including a massive satellite tower and yet the military is not deployed until a good 10 minutes, and then they are 3 minutes out.
Factual error: During the Ramsay rescue scene Dom is being chased by some bad guys off road. One of the bad guys, the one driving the Mercedes, managed to pierce his car on a rotten tree through the vehicle's engine. A rotten tree shouldn't stand a chance to a solid engine.
Factual error: We can see them falling close to one another as they leave the airplane in their vehicles. This is not possible as the airplane is moving very fast and leaving one at a time they would have been far away as the next one went out.
Factual error: When Hobbs shows Shaw's file to Dom it states his details. Date and place of birth are both "Unknown." However it also lists service in the SBS and SAS, both of which would have details these details available for the DSS. (00:19:20)
Factual error: When Mia tells Brian she is pregnant again, she tells him it's a girl. Since Mia is not even starting to show her pregnancy yet, it is way too soon to be able to tell the sex of the baby. There's no way she would know it's a girl.
Factual error: The hospital scene at the start says London. However the sign outside the hospital says Birmingham. (00:02:20)
