Suggested correction: That is not a ramp, it is trash bags on the ground. The road has a slope to make the car jump.

Continuity mistake: After Dom parks his car in the garage after the first race, and walks outside, the cop car that comes down the hill is a Ford Crown Victoria. When the cop car turns around in the middle of the street it's a Chevy Caprice. Then again, when Don is being chased through the alleyway and gets big picked up by Brian, the car giving chase is a Crown Vic. When they leave the alleyway it's a Caprice again. Easiest way to spot the difference? First car has wide lights, the second one doesn't. (00:23:20)

Continuity mistake: At the last truck hijacking scene Letty's rear window is shot. When she pulls up again there isn't even a scratch on the window. A second later with a shot in the car the window is broken again and another second later it hasn't got a scratch. (01:20:39)

Continuity mistake: In the race between the four cars, you see Brian after his first shot of NOS pass Edwin, but in the next shot you see him pass the same person again. (00:19:23)

The Fast and the Furious mistake picture

Revealing mistake: When Brian is maxing out his car in the parking lot at the beginning of the film, when he spins out his reverse lights are on. (00:03:30)

Character mistake: In the opening scenes when Brian goes back to the shop, he demands that he needs some nitrous to boost his low top speed. Well I'm sure that most tuners will agree that more horsepower doesn't equal more top speed, it only contributes IF you have a transmission that can handle it and distribute it. (00:09:53)

The Fast and the Furious mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the opening credits when the freight is being placed on the truck, you can see the large support beam that goes across. In the next shot when the civic goes under the car, the support beam is gone. (00:00:40)

Factual error: During the first race a square plate on the floor falls off Brian's Eclipse. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a unibody car; the frame and body are built as one solid piece, and it does not have floor pans. While some racers might put a steel plate in the interior as a finishing piece, it would be cosmetic only and not part of the vehicle's structure.

Johnny Tran: I'll see you in the desert next month. Be ready to have your ass handed to you.
Dom: You're gonna need more than that crotch rocket.
Johnny Tran: I got something for you.
