Continuity mistake: We see the grenade spinning and is a reasonable distance from the pin. When we see a close up of the two just before Shaw returns the pin, they're a lot closer together. (00:25:55)
Continuity mistake: During the chase in the McLaren 720s, the car has its folding driver display up or down depending on the shot. (00:35:15)

Revealing mistake: Shaw asks Hattie what she did and she exclaims "the big brother talk? Really?" we then hear the car accelerate, however if you watch the digital speedo, the speed is decreasing not increasing. (00:35:20)
Factual error: When the Eteon bike is riding over the cars in the alley, the registration plates are completely the wrong format for the UK. Most cars use either the "A 123 BCD" or the "AB 12 CDE" format. Some personalized plates can be different such as "38 G." However none use the format shown in the film "D51M R9S" (00:36:20)

Continuity mistake: When driving towards the lorries crossing in the McLaren, you get a long shot of the road and there are no arrows painted on the road. Camera changes to a close up and arrows are now on the road. (00:37:30)
Factual error: The lorry trailers Shaw drives under have no side bars fitted. This is a legal requirement in the UK and Europe to stop people doing exactly this, also they are fitted for safety reasons to stop people going under the trailer in an accident. (00:37:40)

Audio problem: When Brixton is telling Hattie about the future of the planet, the audio in the shot from behind his shoulder is a clear overdub. (01:01:00)
Audio problem: Hobbs shouts "wait wait wait wait" just before the 5th shock. However in the shot showing both Hobbs and Shaw his mouth isn't moving. (01:11:20)
Revealing mistake: During the electric shock scenes, the chairs are made of metal and hooked up to Jeep batteries. Hobbs and Shaw then proceed to smash the chairs up in the ensuing fight scene. Only for them to reappear just as the bomb goes off destroying the plant. (01:12:50 - 01:15:25)
Revealing mistake: When the Russian scientist turns the flame thrower on the 3 henchmen, they are alight before he fires on them. (01:13:10)
Continuity mistake: When breaking out of Eteon, there is one shot where Hattie is lay on her back on the bonnet of the 4x4. Camera changes and now she's on her front. (01:17:10)
