Factual error: In the beginning, it's 1989. The crew chief, Michael Rooker, is wearing Mechanix gloves... which didn't come out until the 1991 Daytona 500.
Continuity mistake: When Dom is putting Brian to bed at the start after Letty give Brian Dom's cross, the way Brian holds it changes between shots. (00:09:00)
Other mistake: Towards the end of the end credits there's a "Special thanks" sections, including sponsors such as Fiat Chrysler etc. The first person thanked is "Leslie Finaly", a misspelling of "Leslie Finlay." (02:22:30)
Factual error: In the opening race scenes, the cars on the track are out of date for 1989. The race car used by the aggressive driver (#23) who causes the fiery accident that kills Toretto senior is based upon a later model 1997-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. The race car that Toretto senior is driving is based on a 1995-1999 Chevy Monte Carlo. (00:01:00 - 00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: Dom hands Letty a postcard, which she grabs with both hands. A shot later, not only is she holding it with one hand, but the grip is also different. (00:40:36)
Continuity mistake: In the cave, Roman's right hand points at the wall, yet a shot later it's lying downwards. (00:40:23)
Continuity mistake: When they get to the bridge, Tej spins out a truck beside Dom then crosses the bridge, Dom and Jakob are still far away but Tej is already by the bridge.
Continuity mistake: When Mia makes amends with Jakob and hugs him, her hair is perfectly tucked behind her right ear. From a different angle a couple of strands are loose but yet from another angle a thick strand of hair is now covering her ear.
Visible crew/equipment: When Han and Mia climb on the tank during the electromagnet race, right when Mia crouches on top of the tank, she is replaced by an obvious stunt. When Han turns around to enter the tank, the stunt's fake wig is very noticeable for a split-second.
Continuity mistake: When Letty and Mia interrupt their lunch in Tokyo, Mia extends her right arm to grab a postcard on the table. From a different angle her arm is away, and she is repeating all previous movements.
Continuity mistake: Mia helps Jakob climb up inside the car with the building behind having stores with yellow signs on. Shot changes and the building behind is now a block or kiosk of some sort with a different building behind. Shot changes again, and we're back at the previous yellow signs.
Continuity mistake: When Jakob is launched out of the tank's roof Dom's hand swaps between being in the middle of the steering wheel to not between shots. (01:53:28)
Continuity mistake: In Montequinto when Tej and Ramsey get off their car to watch the tank stuck in between two rocks, the reflection of the driver's window shows an empty gap. No tank there.
Continuity mistake: Jakob is launched away from the tank, falls on a car and a baddie's car makes a 180° turn to shoot at him. Watch a car on the left, it disappears between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Tej tests the magnet by catching Roman's plate and cutlery, Ramsey moves her right hand from the console to her right. A shot later it's back on the console, and she is retrieving it again.
Deliberate mistake: After jumping off the cliff, Dom and Letty's car rolls over violently several times and finally lands on its wheels. Letty sits calmly, safe and sound, not a single scratch or bruise despite not wearing her seatbelt and having survived by just grasping the handlebar above her head.
Continuity mistake: When Letty and Mia have lunch in Tokyo, a man with a green jacket and a pair of dark glasses walks from left to right. A shot later he reappears on the far left and repeats his walk. Also, most of the passers-by are not continuous between the front and opposite shots.
Continuity mistake: After Dom gets out of jail, Jakob arrives at the race and is greeted and hugged by a guy with a striped T-shirt who then walks away. In the wide angle he is repeating all previous movements.
Continuity mistake: When Jacob and Otto walk together for the first time, they pass by a grey tank and a cream colored tank next to the electromagnets. A shot later, they're walking by the grey tank again.
Continuity mistake: When Letty falls off her motorbike and lands on the bonnet, Dom's hand is in the center of the steering wheel, but from his POV it's gone. This changes back and forth.
