Corrected entry: In the scene where Brian is talking to all the officers in the police hideaway the commanding officer is smoking a cigar, the scene cuts to a different angle and the cigar is gone.

Correction: The cigar's not gone, it's on the counter next to him. He dropped it when he tried to catch the guy that Brian pushed to the floor.

Corrected entry: When the four cars are racing down the street, Dom opens up his seat and turns on the nitrous, if you notice the knob he turns is on the far right side, and in the second shot, the knob is on the far left side.

Correction: He actually has 2 knobs for 2 containers of NOS. When Dom is turning the knob on the far right, you can't see the knob on the far left because it is in the shadows.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Don and Bryan first meet up with Johnny's motorcycle gang, as the motorcycles approach, there is a blue yamaha just behind the window on Don's side, when they cut to the shot inside the car, the blue yamaha is right next to Don, not only that, but it's a different yamaha. The bike outside the car has 2 circle headlights, and little red stripes down the nose, the one next to Don on the inside car shot has no stripes, and different headlights. (00:26:46)

Correction: There are 3 bikes on Dom's side of the car, 1 on the rear of the car, and 3 on Brian's side of the car. The middle bike on Dom's side of the car is hard to spot, but you can see it if you look closely. In all the shots, it is exactly even with Dom's window. This is the bike that has no stripes and different headlights. The bike behind this one, has the round headlights and is mistaken for the bike that appears next to Dom when the camera cuts to the inside the car angle.

Corrected entry: When Brian and Dom are sitting in that restaurant eating shrimps, there's a hill in the background. At first there's bright sunlight on the hill, a few seconds later, it's very dark on the hill.

Correction: It's early evening, somewhat cloudy (smoggy) and they're on the coast. Granted, the light changes slightly in the background every now and then, but very slighty. Thats perfectly normal in those conditions.

Corrected entry: In the drag race scene with four cars, speeds of 160 mph are achieved. This would put their e/t's (estimated times) at around 8-9 seconds, not 10. Granted the 1/4 race scene lasts about 2 minutes, but it's implied that Brian owes Dom a 10 second car...

Correction: Yes, speeds of 160 mph are achieved in this drag, but from that fact alone you simply cannot narrow it down that they finished in 8-9 seconds. There are way too many other variables that come into play. Just to name a few: How good their start was, how quickly they got to 160 mph and how long they stayed there before they crossed the finish line. There is no way of judging these other variables, so there is no way you can simply say that they would have finished in 8-9 seconds, not 10.

Corrected entry: When Dom hits the 18 wheeler in the black car at the end of the movie the front end is not messed up at all.

Correction: That's because the truck hits the side of Dom's car, not the front.

AFosteROTC

Corrected entry: When Tran is talking to the guy in his shop about the empty engine bays, the empty engine bays belong to a Civic and an Integra, yet Tran makes a comment about some Nissan SR20 motors for the engine bays. Interesting motor swap.

Correction: Interesting... but not impossible. Especially when you have the kind of money that Tran has. Notice when Brian warns Jesse not to race Tran he says, "Don't do it Jesse. I bet you he's got over 100 grand underneath the hood of that car."

Corrected entry: When Bryan and Dom pull up next to the black Ferrari F355 Cabriolet in their newly restored, orange Toyota Supra, and begin to race, it is obvious that Bryan had to pull into oncoming traffic so he would not crash into the slow moving car in front of him. What you don't see is that the Ferrari has to pull onto the shoulder, which is a few inches below the road, which would make it very hard for him to get back on the road...

Correction: Actually, it's not. The shoulder is pretty much even with the road. But even if it were a few inches below the road, he could still get back on. Yes, it would be a bit more difficult, but he could do it.

Corrected entry: In The First race with the 4 cars you see all 4 guys shift into first gear. If you look each hand is a white person's hand that shifts the gear. Out of all the 4 guys there are 2 white guys, a Chinese guy, and a black guy.

Correction: Each hand is not a white guy's hand. The first hand is white, belonging to Toretto. The second hand having little or no hair, is oriental. The third hand is Ja Rule's hand, it's not dark black, but it's definitely black. And the fourth belongs to Paul Walker, with the rubber band around the wrist.

Corrected entry: When Jesse is throwin' down the pinkslip for the Jetta Leon drives the car to the starting point and Tran's Honda is right by the Jetta. But when Brian asks, "Who are you racin'?" the black Honda pulls up a second time.

Correction: When Leon pulls Jesse's car up to the line with Tran, he pulls up farther than Tran does by maybe 1 or 2 feet. When Brian asks Jesse, "Who are you racin'" Tran pulls up even with Jesse's car so their windows are lined up with each other.

Corrected entry: At the end of the film it becomes apparent that Dom has badly injured his arm, so much so that he can't move it. However as he is pulling away in the Supra he manages to execute a perfect "e-brake" turn that would require two working hands.

NyQuil

Correction: Yes, Dom's arm is badly injured at the end, but he's just making a sharp U-turn that makes the tires squeal a little. It's not an e-brake turn. If you look closely when Dom drives off, you can see him turning with his uninjured right arm. The same arm one would use to pull on the e-brake. Thus, he could not have been using the e-brake.

Corrected entry: In the final hijack, in the civic driven by Toretto, the front H logo disappears from shot to shot.

Correction: No, it doesn't. It can't disappear because it's never there to begin with. There is an occasional silver glimmer on the front of the car where the H logo would be, but it's just the reflection of the sun. If you look closely, the silver glimmer moves up and down the front of the car, where as if it were an H logo, it would stay in the same place.

Corrected entry: When Brian saves Dom from the cops after the street race and they are driving, the Eclipse shifts gears while Brian's right hand is on the steering wheel the whole time.

Correction: Actually, no. Every time the Eclipse shifts gears, Brian's left hand is on the wheel. His right hand is never on the wheel when he is shifting.

AFosteROTC

Corrected entry: In the scene in which Johny Tran and his folks on bikes order Brian and Dom to stop, Brian stops with his back to the road they came from. When Tran rides away, we see that the green mitsubishi eclipse is with its front to the road they came from.

Correction: When Tran rides away, the green eclipse still has its back to the road they came in from. Tran and his gang do not go out the same way they came in.

AFosteROTC

Corrected entry: Just before the 4 car race, when all the cars are driving from the warehouses to the start there is a shot from above and far away of the stream of cars, you can see the helicopter providing the lighting on the right of the screen, and if it was meant to be a police helicopter the race never would have gone ahead.

Correction: It's not a helicopter, it's just a light on top of a building.

AFosteROTC

Corrected entry: When the gang is putting together the orange car there is a shot of someone putting on the decal that looks like an arm pointing down the side of the car, except the car has not been painted yet. The car is still silver metal and after this shot is another when the car is actually shown to be bright orange.

Correction: The only time we see someone putting the pointing arm decal on the Supra is right before Dom and Letty make out in the garage. The car has already been painted orange, and the decal was the last thing to go on the car before it is finished.
