2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Factual error: During the scenes where the drivers are all racing to the impound lot, Verone and Fuentes are doing background checks on the drivers. When they show the shot of Roman Pearce's California driver's license information, it shows his DOB as Apr 12, 1973, A License issue date of 03/24/90, and Expires Date of 03/24/01. Driver's licenses don't expire on the anniversary of the issue date, they expire on the driver's month and day of birth. So his driver's license should show an expiration date of something like 04/12/01 instead. (00:31:45)

Suggested correction: Not all state's driver's licenses expire on their birthday, or at least not anymore. Example: my current driver's license expires on the anniversary of when I got it Aug 16th, but my birthday is in June.

Pearce's is a California license; in the timeframe of the movie expiration date matched DOB.

Sammo

I've never heard of a State license doing this. Which State is this? Although the mistake is valid.

According to google, "Every California license expires on your birthday five years after it's issued" (I can't seem to access the CA DMV website at the moment) but it does seem as though the mistake is, as you say, valid.

Ssiscool

My reply was to the corrector who claims his/her State's driver's license expires on the issue date, which is something I've never heard of. So I was asking which State his/her license was from, not the movie's license.

Bishop73

Sorry, my mistake. On my page it was formatted as though you were replying to Sammo. Looking online, Delaware is one state where the licence expires 8 years after issue and not on your birthday (at least from what I can see).

Ssiscool

Delaware driver licenses, while issued for 8 years, still expire on the driver's birthday.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: When Brian and Roman drive to the impound yard they skid to a stop, which kicks up a lot of dust that settles on their cars. When they arrive back at Carter's, the cars are spotless. (00:32:30 - 00:34:05)

Correction: The amount of dust that lands is very minamal, when they arrive the dust can't be seen due to the length of the shot.

Corrected entry: When the driver of the Supra crashes, look closely and you'll see the rear bumper come off. But when he climbs out, it's still on. (00:12:45)

Correction: I've watched my version and can't see this mistake at any point even with slow-mo.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: Right after Brian hands the money over to Tej at the first race, he walks over to his car and it seems that he's about to get into the car. But MUCH later we actually see him approaching his car again, opening the door, spotting Monica and getting in. (00:06:00)

Correction: If it seems like he is going to get into his car, he might get distracted by something off camera then walks back and spots Monica.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Brian and Rome get out of the customs office and discuss a whole new strategy, Brian calls Tej and asks him for help. Brian is wearing a blue shirt and Rome is wearing a white tank top. In the next scene, Brian and Rome are wearing completely new outfits, but when they have a look at the stored cars, they are wearing the previous outfits again (blue shirt, white tank top). And in the next scene it's the same again: While they are sharing memories at sunset, Brian is wearing his grey shirt again and Rome wears also his previous outfit. (01:07:30 - 01:08:25)

Correction: While it's most likely a mistake, given these are separate scenes there's no definite continuity error here.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: When Rome and Brian go to collect Verone's money there is a grey Dodge parked outside of the trailer home. Just before Enrique opens the door, in the lower left hand corner the cameraman is backing up. (01:12:25)

Correction: It could well be Enrique's partner, Brian or Rome.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: Even though Roman is "parked so close to the derby" this would not satisfy the house arrest thing. For one you have to have a phone for the ankle bracelet and I doubt that cell phones work, since that would defeat the purpose. (00:20:00)

EMTurbo

Correction: We never see inside Rome's caravan/trailer so he could have a main phone line.

22nd May 2004

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In one of the last scenes, Rome says something about "... stay here in Miami to keep you out of trouble bro". There's a close-up of Brian, and Rome's visible in the right corner as he starts to speak, but his mouth doesn't move. (01:33:30)

Correction: Rome only goes "hmm" which dosen't require you to open your mouth. Then when he is out of shot he carries on.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: In the scene towards the end when Brian and Rome jump onto the back of the boat, Rome complains of a broken arm and Brian hits his head and is holding his forehead with his hand and reveals a bruise. Back on land, the bruise is gone. (01:32:15)

Correction: It's not a bruise it is actually a shadow cast by the way his hands are positioned. This is why it's not visible on land.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: When Brian is racing the blue muscle car, you can see that the blue car's numberplate is "Year One", but when the "ejecto seato" is being talked about it has a different numberplate. (00:46:15 - 01:09:05)

Correction: The "Year One" plate is only on the front. When racing for the cars, and when adding some extra Nitrous the plates are always "Year One" on the front and normal on the back.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In the highway scene, with all of the potential employees racing to the boatyard, just before the shot of the Mustang going between the two trucks, there is a frame or two of a boat being towed on a trailer, then suddenly it's replaced by the Mustang shot. (00:29:50)

Correction: The shot is from the left of the left lorry. It shows the mustang going down the right side of the left lorry meaning it's going between the two. Not a mistake.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In the whole sequence where Rome and Brian are racing with the other guys to get to that impound lot, you can see several shots of Brian's feet and his socks are grey. However, when he gets out of the car again, his socks are white. (00:28:00)

Correction: This is due to shadow of the items in the car. This makes it look grey.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: At Verone's house, just after Verone says "meet me at a club tonight", there is a shot looking up and as Brian and Verone are shaking hands Monica is beside them. However, in the previous and following shots Monica is standing behind Brian and Roman. (00:37:15)

The-Immortal

Correction: Trick of the camera. Monica is behind them all the time.

Corrected entry: During the initial race sequence the Corvette has its top down until it crashes, when we see the top is up. (00:30:00)

Ian Hunt

Correction: In the inital race, all cars except the S2000 have got hard tops.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: Immediately after the fly through of the car's electrical system, we see the US Customs tracking computer display. It reads Skynet. (00:30:05)

Correction: How is this trivia? An item that can be spotted by just watching is not classed as trivia.

14th Jan 2005

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: When the cars are on the highway there is a scene when the Evo is speeding past the camera at the close up angle, beside the Evo there is the grey Corvette and behind is the orange and then the blue muscle behind it. In the next shot the blue car is in front of the orange car. (00:29:05)

Correction: It's very plausible that they switched places as Brian and Rome do it all the time.

Ssiscool

Corrected entry: In the race at the beginning, the front of Suki's car is all banged up. However, when the cops arrive, as Suki drives the car the front is completely fine. (00:14:00)

Correction: Having just watched this part of the film I can say that the front of her car is missing the bumper throughout.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In that scene where Brian is introducing Rome to Tej, there is a big waterski-race going on, and Tej is following it apparently with great interest. Yet he's always looking in the wrong direction, for the waterski-racers have to get past the house-boat, which is seen to Tej's left.

Correction: Having just watched this scene, he is always looking in the right place.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: In the scene where the two thugs and their boss have searched Paul Walker's houseboat for the girl they turn to leave, satisfied she is not on board. Just after they have left Paul Walker's friend turns to him and comments really loudly about the girl on the boat. Surely they would have heard him?

Correction: If the thugs were in deep conversation they wouldn't have heard anything.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Corrected entry: At the start of the film you see Tej on the phone and when he walks into the room, beside him you see a red cabinet and a calendar next to it. In the next close up view beside him there is a harnessed alloy. (00:01:10)

Correction: The wheel is off the car on the ramp. You are looking at the side of Tej's face and the cabinet is straight on.
