Brian says he wants two NO2 tanks by the next day and yet there are two right in front of him. Even if the proprietor didn't have the floor tanks filled (likely), he'd sure have had at least two tanks (or equivalent if he fills them there) on hand. [He is saying to himself that he needs Nos. It's then that the owner gets involved. Not a mistake.]

At the end of the first race, when Dom enters the parking lot, the first shot we see of the car it is already some distance up the ramp, but in the next shot we see the car has just entered the parking lot and is at the bottom of the ramp. See more...

When Brian is topping out his car in the beginning scene in the stadium lot, He shifts 8 times. No Eclipse is an "8 speed" that suddenly ends up in reverse, making 9 gears. You can see the first 5 to 6 shifts, you can hear the blow off valve for the 7th, and then the final 8th shift. [There is a pause in the first shot but sounds more like a pedal release (for what reason is still up for grabs). 3 shifts are seen in hand shots...and 2 via the clutch. There is a phantom-like pause, hiss, and rpm drop suggesting a shift change but that is questionable and still makes only 6. After that is a downshift for the spinout.]
In the first hijacking scene where the Honda Civic darts under the trailer you hear the car shift up 3 times each time pulling high revs yet the Civic doesn't move forward (at one point it almost goes under the rear wheels of the trailer) or crash into the back of the main tractor unit. Surely with the performance of these vehicles against a laden truck shifting up three time would have caused it to hit the tractor unit. [There is a pause in the first shot but sounds more like a pedal release (for what reason is still up for grabs). 3 shifts are seen in hand shots...and 2 via the clutch.

When the police storm the cafe for Lance, you see him get choke-slammed by an officer and the cop puts his knee on his face. When the shot changes to a close-up of Lance's face, the cop puts his knee on his face again. [The cop in the first shot puts his knee by the side of Lance. In the next shot he brings it up and puts it on his face. Not a mistake.]
When Dom, Ja Rule etc are checking out Brian's engine, Ja Rule looks in the engine bay then declares that Brian has "enough NOS to blow himself up". This is impossible for him to tell just by looking at the engine as the NOS bottles are mounted on the back seat. [Whilst it is true he says that after looking at the engine, he could have seen beforehand that his Nos is on the back.]
After the end of the first street race when Dom is going on about being a real racer and how it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Behind him is a kid in a black shirt with spiky hair, it then cuts over to Brian and the same kid is behind him. [I just watched this and the same people are in the same place depending on the angle. There is someone who looks like the kid behind Brian, who is behind Dom.]
At the beginning, during the first race scene Toretto pulls away from the white car, so there is now some distance between Toretto and the white car, yet when the camera cuts to a front view, the white car is now magically level with Toretto's bumper or very close to it. [I just watched this part of the film and nothing of the kind happens.]
In the beginning of the movie when Brian is testing out his Eclipse on the track you will notice that the camera view has changed from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. When the camera is in the driver's seat you can tell that Brian is still driving, now on the right-hand side of the car. This can be noticed by the proximity of the door to the driver. [It's not changed sides, the camera has just zoomed in more.]
In the first street racing scene where Brian first drives up to join the others, a shot of the front underside of his car reveals a hose dangling from under the car. Too much money and effort are put into the construction of these vehicles and something this sloppy would not have been left alone. [Something like that could also happen enroute to the race. I have a BMW 735iL that I take a lot of pride in, yet I have a headlight washer hose that drops below the valance numerous times a month. I don't crawl under the car every time it happens to refasten it. If the dangling hose disappeared in a following shot then it would be a legitimate mistake.]
In the final drag race with the Dodge Charger, you can see the wheelie bar underneath the car, which is used to get the front of the Charger off the ground. If you look closely enough you can also see that the 'burn out' smoke doesn't actually come from the rear wheel tyres at all, but from a generator beside them. [Already submitted and corrected.]
In the beginning of the film where Jessy is looking under the hood of Brian's car he says he has a T4 turbo. On NON turbocharged Eclipses, the intake is routed along the driver's side of the engine, which you can see (the big chrome tube). On the turbocharged Eclipses, the intake is on the front passenger side and routes to the passenger side of the engine to the throttle body near the fire-wall. Non turbo Eclipses have the throttle body on the driver's side. [Considering the race world this takes place in: The amount of modifications done to these cars to give them their top speed, it is not unlikely that an after market turbo could be installed and the intake modified to fit anyway the driver wants it to.]
When Dom speaks that immortal line "probably blown the welds on the intakes", never could a more stupid line be spoken by someone who supposedly knows about cars. For the inlet tract to 'blow', the inlet would have to be under increasing pressure, which isn't likely as the pressure occurs in the piston chambers, not the inlet tract. [He's not saying this as a fact, but an exaggeration and way of putting him down. It's a lot like saying someone "is such a bad cook, they'd burn water". Also, some variable length manifolds CAN in fact increase pressure due to their shape, which is why they are used in performance applications. What Dom is saying is that the pressure became so high it blew the welds, which anyone would know is an overstatement. Especially as a lot of high performance manifolds are cast, not welded.]
