Continuity mistake: The Dodge Chargers stolen were newer models while the matt black ones used in the heist were older models.

Revealing mistake: When Brian is racing the GT3RS through the mock up track we have a shot inside while he is doing a hard left. Look at the dash and the speedo on the far left is at 0 while the rev counter in the centre moves. Evidently he was stationary and just revved the car for the shot. (01:04:25)

Ssiscool

Audio problem: During Hobbs' and Dom's fight, Mia shouts "Dom" several times. On the first occasion though her mouth doesn't move. Clearly overdubbed. (01:28:10)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: On the train Mia is reading a magazine, Brian takes it off her and she puts her hand on her her chin and keeps it there, in shot, until the camera changes to a closeup of her face. When we see the closeup of her face, her hand is not there. (00:08:00)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: After they bring the thong with the hand print, the antenna next to the computer is either straight or skewed depending on the shot.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Han and Gisele obtain Reyes' handprint, Reyes touches Gisele with his left hand. However, later in the film when Tej opens the vault, he uses his right hand. Handprints are not symmetrical so the biometric scanner would have rejected the initial scan until Reyes realized he was using the wrong hand. Even flipping the fabricated handprint over and using his right hand would still deny them access as handprints are not symmetrical. (01:11:02 - 01:56:27)

Other mistake: Hobbs asks to see all footage from "in and around Waterloo station." The technician is then asked to "bring up cameras 58 through 62." 5 cameras to cover the entirety of that area is laughable.

Jon Sandys

Continuity mistake: After Brian and Dominic leave, Elena turns her head to the right and looks at the safe. When the angle changes she is looking to the opposite side and repeats the previous movement.

Sacha

Other mistake: In the final chase scene with the vault when Brian is in reverse and Dom is pulling, Brian stops to take out the two bikers. The vault stops too but in Dom would still be pulling it since there was no communication, plus the inertia of the vault would have dragged Brian or smashed Dom.

Factual error: At the end we see Loco and Santos in casinos in Monte Carlo. However the roulette wheel has a 00 and a 0 on it (Green slots). The double zero tables are never found in Monte Carlo. (01:54:00)

Ssiscool

Revealing mistake: When Neves is driving Hobbs' reinforced 4x4 and Vince is talking about his son Nico, Look through the windscreen and the background is the same shot constantly. It's them driving past a telegraph pole towards green trees that never get closer despite driving down the same road for nearly a minute at speed. (01:33:30)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Roman realises he is going to be the one to go into the police station, he has his arm out to the side. Camera changes and now it is on the desk in front of him. (00:54:20)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When the bus is rolling at the start we see a shot where some windows and yellow foam come flying out of the bus. Camera changes and then we see the bus roll and the windows and foam come out again. (00:01:55)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Toretto and Hobbs fight in the garage, for a brief shot the number of glasses on the mirror decreases, only to magically increase again a shot later.

Sacha

Factual error: Given the specs given in the movie (7x12 feet) and assuming standard container height (2.389m) and 45cm thick walls, the vault would weigh at least 73.76 tonnes. Not 10 tonnes.

Roman Pearce: $11 million? Sounds like a whole lot of vaginal activity to me.

Question: Something I didn't quite understand: when Hobbs and his team learn of Reyes from getting the information of the owner of the car, Neves says that if there's anything illegal going on in Rio that Reyes is involved. Then later in the film when Dom goes to her place to get his necklace, they talk and she says "Reyes owns this favela now". It seemed as though she did not show her knowledge of Reyes to Hobbs and his team by her use of "If". So is that a character mistake or was she pretending?

Answer: You probably didn't understand that when she spoke to Hobbs, she meant that Reyes is behind everything illegal. Not a mistake.

Anastasios Anastasatos

And that he literally owns the Favela, which is separate from his illegal activities. Remember he talked about the Spaniards and the Portuguese and how they conquered Brazil. He owns the Favela by providing water and electricity and daycare to the people, making him necessary in their life and willing to do anything to keep those things.
