Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Bugatti Veyron with orange wheels is struck by the police car launched from amongst the trees in the forest stretch of road, just after the Bugatti is struck and is rotating from the collision, in the next shot the wheel that was struck turns black.

Continuity mistake: When Marshall goes between the Saleen and the McLaren, the front of the Koeniggsegg is completely undamaged, despite it being damaged both before and later on in the race, in the same way it was damaged when Dino knocked Pete off the bridge.

Friso94

Continuity mistake: When Dino crashes into Pete, Pete's car spins out of control, out of his way. But the next scene shows Pete in front of Dino's car, staying there until he's flipped over.

Continuity mistake: During the first race through the city, watch the sky. It goes from being dusk with a little bit of blue sky to completely dark in several shots.

Character mistake: Dino puts up his "Elemento" for whoever takes down Marshall. Monarch then says there are only three of those cars (a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento) ever made. This is not true. Lamborghini didn't make three, they made twenty.

Friso94

Revealing mistake: When the first race gets underway, if you look at the roadway just before the cars start drifting, you can see the tyre marks of previous takes on the road.

GalahadFairlight

Factual error: Though Maverick describes the helicopter he flies when he picks up the Mustang in Utah as an Apache, it is not one. The Apache is an attack helicopter, while the one flown is a cargo model discontinued in the 1970s. Furthermore, the livery of the aircraft has not been used by the Army for decades. Further still, the jets which intercept Maverick fly so close to the helicopter that their wake turbulence should have caused it to crash. A really heinous scene overall.

Texijapi

Visible crew/equipment: After the crash at the beginning, Aaron Paul turns his car around to go back to the accident scene. He stops in front of the camera. At the beginning of this overhead shot, a piece of the camera crane is reflected in the car.

manthabeat

Continuity mistake: When Tobey is talking to Julia in the hospital, his puts his hand under her head and his arm is across the pillow for a couple of shots, then in the next shot it's gone without him moving.

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When Toby gets out of his car to confront Dino before the start of the De Leon, his pants are a dark maroon. When he exits his car to rescue Dino from the crash, his pants turn black.

Question: Is there a reason that none of the participants in the final race is using their seat belts (that I could notice)?

Answer: This is down to character choice. A stupid one, but still their own choice.
