Continuity mistake: When Luke gathers the whole team he throws Owen's photo on the table. In the close-up it lies next to a colour brochure, but in the wide angle it is a totally different type of paper.
Continuity mistake: Luke finds Toretto who says "I wasn't hiding" and raises his right arm to fix an engine. A shot later he is further away from the engine plus his arm is lowered.

Continuity mistake: When Han and Gisele are eating together in the beginning of the movie, Gisele opens the food plate. In the following shot, the lid of the food plate magically reappears again.
Factual error: The route Dom and Letty use for their race is not consistent with the sights shown in the background - they are jumping all around the west end of London, then pull up near Battersea Power Station which is south of the Thames.

Continuity mistake: Roman removes a 100 Grand bar from the shot-down vending machine. In the close-up shot, there are several other 100 Grand bars visible.

Revealing mistake: During the end plane chase the two land rovers drive over the open ramp - at this point you can see the support wheels under the ramp. It would not have this feature as they would only be used when the plane is stationary.
Chosen answer: The most logical answer would be that quite a lot of people liked the character Han. Since he dies at the end of "Tokyo Drift" the filmmakers probably came up with the idea of having the movie take place after all the other ones, so as to feature Han in more sequels.
