Continuity mistake: When Brian and Mia are driving in the Supra at night to follow Dom and his team to stop them, the background never changes. After every cut, they're driving past the same hill. (01:18:05)
Continuity mistake: Close to the end of the film, when Vince jumps on the truck that they're hijacking, Vince's head goes from above the front, to level with the grill in subsequent shots. (01:18:35)
Continuity mistake: When the civics catch up with the final lorry it is daybreak. However, once they start the hijack, it's broad daylight. (01:19:00)
Visible crew/equipment: In one shot where Dom is trying to get Vince off the truck there is a very nice shot of the side of Dom's Civic in which you can see the camera people. (01:20:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When the Civics are trying to take the last lorry, you can always (well almost always) see stage lights in the black paint of the Civics. (01:20:00)
Continuity mistake: At the last truck hijacking scene Letty's rear window is shot. When she pulls up again there isn't even a scratch on the window. A second later with a shot in the car the window is broken again and another second later it hasn't got a scratch. (01:20:39)
Revealing mistake: In the truck chase towards the end, Leon says "I got her, you get Vince off that truck." While he speaks he is speeding along, but his tachometer and speedometer read zero. (01:21:10)
Revealing mistake: When Leon is told to go and get Letty after she is pushed off the road by the lorry, you can see skidmarks on the road from previous takes. (01:21:10)
Continuity mistake: During the final hijacking scene, Dom pulls in front of the truck so Vince can get pull out the passenger side windshield with his harpoon gun. However, if you look closely right before Vince shoots his gun for the first time, you can see that the passenger side windshield is not even there. The glare coming off of the driver side windshield makes it very easy to see the difference between the two. (01:21:19)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the cars are hijacking the truck with the harpoon, it shoots through the windshield, leaving a big, shattered hole. When it cuts back to the truck again, the windshield is fine. (01:21:22)
Continuity mistake: Close to the end when we see Brian in his orange car speeding down the road, if you notice Leon parked his car on the side of the road, but when it cuts to a front view of the road when we see Brian's car pass the camera, Leon's car has vanished. (01:21:25)
Continuity mistake: In the last scene with the three black Civics, the spoiler on the car Dom is driving is different at the beginning of the scene (when Vince jumps off the back for example) than at the end (when he spins out). (01:21:44)
Continuity mistake: Just as we see Dom's Civic get shot, there is a shot of the track driving along. In this shot, Vince is not on the truck. (01:22:10)
Continuity mistake: Near the end when they have the 3 black cars, Dom is trying to get Vince off the semi-trailer truck. In some shots we see the stunt driver's brown long sleeve, but other shots we see Dom wearing a white short sleeved shirt. (01:23:21)
Continuity mistake: When Brian is calling for the air ambulance, he switches which ear his cell phone is on between shots. (01:24:05)
Continuity mistake: In the last truck and 3 cars sequence, when Letty's slides under the rig before flipping her car, the camera starts shaking around, but you can clearly see that Vince is momentarily not on the side of the rig. (01:24:12)
Revealing mistake: When the three Civics are hijacking the truck at the end you see inside Letty's Civic which is basically stock. When she goes off the road and rolls you see the inside is stripped and has a full rollcage. (01:24:20)
Continuity mistake: When Paul Walker is talking on the phone to get medical help, the phone changes hands instantly from the right to the left without time to do it. (01:24:30)
Continuity mistake: The smudges and blood-stains on Dom's shirt in the end change a lot during the scene. (01:25:50)
Chosen answer: It's a car with the power to do a quarter-mile drag race of the type depicted in the film in ten seconds.
