Directed by: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster
Factual error: Though admitting the artistic license of Dom's car freefalling and safely landing on the damms' spillway, after it gets engulfed in flames both inside and outside, the fire doesn't burn or even scorch any of the tyres, upholstery, nor a single inch of Bryan or Dom's skin or clothes.
Continuity mistake: When Letty places the necklace on Dom, the actual cross is almost touching the neckline of his top. When the shot changes, the cross is much lower down the chest. (00:15:05)
Debby Ryan: We'll just uh.
Debby Ryan: Go around? Great.
Trivia: The climactic fight sequence between Michelle Rodriguez and Charlize Theron was filmed without a principal director on set. The sequence was captured during a one-week transition period after the original director, Justin Lin, abruptly left the production due to creative differences.
Question: Spoiler! Does this movie actually end with Dominic and his son Brian about to die and the bad guy Dante winning?
Answer: It does - it's a massive cliffhanger leading directly into the next (and apparently final) film. The team's plane has been shot down and crashed, seemingly killing them all (but let's be honest, that's unlikely...). Dom and Little B survive the drive off the dam and crash into the river. Dante looks down on them and arms massive bombs along the length of the dam, they apparently have nowhere to run to... End of film.
