Factual error: When the Mercedes jeep hits the wall at the end of the plane, Shaw goes straight through the windshield and falls to his death in a cloud of shards. Windshields on modern cars, like that jeep, are made out of laminated glass, layers of glass and plastic, precisely designed to prevent shattering into those deadly daggers during an accident and kill the unlucky guy in front of it.
Revealing mistake: After the tank runs over one of the army jeeps in the crash you can see a dummy.
Other mistake: When Hobbs and Letty jump from the plane they jump down to the car, but earlier when Shaw's girlfriend fell out of the door she was blown backwards, this should apply to Hobbs and Letty too.
Factual error: There is no way that a 1 ton car suspended from a wire loosely twisted around the barrel would stop a 70 ton tank going at least 60 miles an hour dead in its tracks, let alone flip it end over nose.
Plot hole: At the end of the film Shaw and Dom drive their cars onto the plane and the pilot says they are too heavy to take off, but Shaw's team consisted of an extra car, which the plane was clearly prepared to take off with.
Plot hole: There is not enough time for Dom's team to prep the cars for Europe that Parker brought at auction, adding winches and roll cages etc.
Continuity mistake: The first police car Shaw flips changes from a hatchback to a saloon when Hobbs rams it.
Factual error: None of the cargo on the plane at the end is strapped down - the cars and crates, boxes etc in the middle of the cargo hold. The plane would not even taxi like that, let alone take off.
Continuity mistake: After the race between Dom and Letty, they pull over and start to talk. The lights from Dom's car go from on to off and then on again.
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.
Continuity mistake: When we first see Brian with his wife and baby he hands him the toy car. The baby holds a stuffed monkey in his right hand but a shot later he is grabbing the car.
Continuity mistake: Hobbs' jeep drives past the blockade on the bridge as seen in the wide shot. In the close-up it's meters behind and it drives past it again.
Continuity mistake: When the movie ends and they're saying grace, Jack the baby turns 180° around between shots.
Continuity mistake: When the movie ends, Brian shows his baby the new garage. Toretto shows up and says "a charger" and Mia turns her head towards him. When the angle changes she is repeating the movement.
Continuity mistake: During the highway-viaduct chase, Shawn tells Letty to check the cable. Then a blue car rampages through cars, while on the other lane some people run away surrounded by cars. A shot later people and cars are gone.
Continuity mistake: After the London tube scenes, Gisele throws her mobile phone on a table. Its position changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: After the London car auction scene Toretto is watching his bullet when Brian shows up. He then turns his hand sideways, but a shot later from a different angle his hand is still in the initial position.
Continuity mistake: At the car auction in London, a woman in pink walking with a black man in a suit walks behind Hobbs twice.
Continuity mistake: During the car auction in London, a woman walks behind two Arabs with red and white ghutrahs. A shot later she has vanished.
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.
Chosen answer: All the flashbacks are archive footage.
