Revealing mistake: Brixton ends up amongst the rubble and dust of the chimney stack collapsing on and around him. However when he is stood a few seconds later there is no dust visible on his immaculate black suit. (01:19:30)

Other mistake: We hear the phone ringing just after arriving in Samoa. All 3 characters turn to look at the phone as it's answered, but the phone is already showing a call time of 20 seconds. (01:21:50)

Suggested correction: Jonah was in front of Shaw (by where the laptop is in the top pic) not behind him.

Continuity mistake: When the extraction process starts, Hattie is holding the device on her arm. Camera changes and she is no longer holding the device. When the camera changes again, she's back to holding the device. (01:35:40)

Continuity mistake: The final battle starts around dawn, and it's very dark when the bad guys arrive, but between shots it suddenly gets much brighter. (01:38:50)

Suggested correction: When you see the helicopter start flying in after Brixton asking them to bring it in, you can see the sun in the distance, so perhaps some time passed by.

But the weapons are only disabled for 6 minutes and the 6 minutes end when they're hooked up to the chopper, which is way later.

Continuity mistake: When the chain first grabs the helicopter, it's around the horizontal part of the wing. We then see it just after the pilot has been thrown out and now the chain is around one of the vertical supports coming off the wing. (01:42:00)

Ssiscool

Factual error: In the helicopter scene, the main villain yells at the pilot to climb. He then goes up and throws the pilot out and takes over. It is a common misconception that helicopter pilots sit in the same seat as airline pilots (left seat). Helicopter pilots sit in the right seat. He just threw out someone that wasn't the pilot. (01:44:00)

Movie Medic

Factual error: When the multiple vehicles are chained together and latched onto the helicopter, the chopper starts lifting up hard enough so that most of the vehicles are off the ground with the lead one only touching by the front wheels. The driver then hits NOS in the car to super charge the front wheels. We see them spin on the dirt road and pull the other cars down bringing the chopper down. However this defies almost every law of physics. With the cars lifted up and the weight taken off the front wheels of that vehicle, and it being on dirt with no spikes, there's no way it would have the traction to pull the chopper down at all. It would just peal out in the dirt. (01:45:40)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When the helicopter drops off the cliff it's fine and sunny. As soon as it lands there's thunder and lightning. 2 mins later it's sunny again when they get back up the cliff. (01:50:00)

Suggested correction: When the helicopter starts to crash and go down you can see the storm approaching. The characters are then seen coming round and getting up following the crash. 2 or 3 minutes could have easily passed in that time as it's not shown how long it takes for them to come round. When Hobbs and Brixton are exchanging remarks, the rain then starts. When we see the trio up on the cliff after Brixton has been shut down, it's clear some time has passed. Since they are now at the top of a cliff. Not necessarily the one they fell down.

Ssiscool

When the bad guy catches her, you can see the device on her back. The countdown shows 20 minutes. Since the device will take 30 minutes to complete its process, it means that only 10 minutes passed since the device was activated, before the final battle, in the middle of the night.

Continuity mistake: At the end one of Hobbs' brothers is in a red vest with silver motif on the chest and stood behind Hobbs on the grass. Camera changes to Jonah and now the previously mentioned person is behind Jonah on the decking. (01:59:00)

Ssiscool

Other mistake: Deckard and Hattie were children at the same time, with Deckard appearing to be no more than 3 years older than Hattie. Although Jason Statham is presumably playing a character younger than he actually is, he is still noticeably much older than his on-screen sister. Jason Statham is in fact 21 years older than Vanessa Kirby.

Suggested correction: And people can age faster than others depending on the stress they've been under.

Ssiscool

Even taking things like stress and hard living into account, Jason Statham is still much older looking than the character he is supposed to be playing. Or are you saying that he's under so much stress that, while he is in otherwise outstanding shape, his face is that of a man in his late 40's to early 50's? He looks at the very least 10 years older than the character is aparently supposed to be.

Continuity mistake: When entering the airport as Mike Oxmal Hobbs has a moustache. When entering the plane it is gone.

Other mistake: The virus should get out of Hattie's body in 30 minutes, but when it reaches Dawn the machine is still counting, meaning that the 30 minutes aren't over.

Continuity mistake: During the morning scene, it shows Hobbs on the right side of the bed when he turns off his alarm and wakes up, but in the next shot, he's on the left side of the bed.

Luke Hobbs: I'm what you call an ice-cold can of whoop-ass.

Trivia: The mysterious processed voice of The Director is actually that of Ryan Reynolds, under his pseudonym of Champ Nightingale. Which doesn't necessarily mean his character is the primary antagonist. But might.

Question: Didn't the Snowflake virus also infect other life besides humanity, such as animals and plants?

Trainman

Answer: Many viruses are specific to certain types of species and do not cross over and infect others. The Snowflake virus was a programmable super virus that apparently was genetically engineered for a particular target.
