Continuity mistake: Throughout the entire movie, Hobbs has a goatee. But when Hobbs is driving and talking on the phone to Tej, his goatee is gone. In Hobbs' next scene, the goatee is suddenly back again. (01:22:35 - 01:23:55)
Continuity mistake: During Brian's jump over the bridge debris, the Ford leans forward pretty far and is still rolling forward by the time the shot cuts. When he touches down, the angle of the car is a lot less steep. (01:28:00)
Factual error: In the scene of Paul Walker getting off a plane in an orange prison jumpsuit escorted by U. S. Marshals, the jackets worn by the Marshals have the misspelling "Marshall" printed on them. (00:56:45)
Continuity mistake: When Dom and Letty are talking on the start line ready for their race, Dom's right arm is either on the passenger seat or down depending on the shot. (01:03:20)
Revealing mistake: When Letty slides her Interceptor around the statue during her race with Dom, you can see skidmarks on the ground from previous attempts. (01:06:00)
Continuity mistake: Hobbs' jeep drives past the blockade on the bridge as seen in the wide shot. In the close-up it's meters behind and it drives past it again.
Revealing mistake: When we see Rome's car being pushed by the tank there is a shot from inside Rome's car looking forward. In this shot you can see tyre marks from previous takes on the road. (01:27:25)
Continuity mistake: At the start when we see the Jeep approaching the blockade on the bridge, the position of the 4 men change instantly. Note the white line. (00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: At the shoot out, Gisele is talking with the wounded man who made the gadgets. He has a small amount of blood spilling out of his mouth, down the side of his cheek. A couple of shots later, the blood is now a long streak down his cheek. Then it is suddenly just a tiny smear of blood around the edge of his mouth. (00:46:20)
Chosen answer: The most logical answer would be that quite a lot of people liked the character Han. Since he dies at the end of "Tokyo Drift" the filmmakers probably came up with the idea of having the movie take place after all the other ones, so as to feature Han in more sequels.
