Fast & Furious 6

Revealing mistake: The truck Roman and Tej are suspended in during the runway scene has no prop shaft attached (without it, the truck won't be able to drive at all). When you look at the bottom of the truck while it's in the air, you can see where the shaft was supposed to be attached to the rear differential.

Revealing mistake: After the tank runs over one of the army jeeps in the crash you can see a dummy.

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)

Revealing mistake: During the end plane chase the two land rovers drive over the open ramp - at this point you can see the support wheels under the ramp. It would not have this feature as they would only be used when the plane is stationary.

Revealing mistake: When we see Shaw climb into the tank we see a shot of him outside the tank that's on the back of a lorry travelling at speed. In this shot, the background is not moving. (01:22:40)

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)

Revealing mistake: Just as the buggy flips Brian's car, it does a handbrake turn and on the ground are tyre marks from a previous take. (00:27:30)

Factual error: In the scene where Shaw is talking to a goon while fixing his car he states the simplest things cause the most problems while holding a spark plug. We know this can't be right as Brian concludes the car is a turbo diesel like a Le Mans car, which would actually use a glow plug and not a spark plug. (00:19:50)

Suggested correction: That's exactly the problem that Shaw is referring to, a member of his team installed the incorrect plug which caused a problem, i.e. a Spark Plug and not a Glow Plug (a simple thing, causing the problem), along with the 'good' being simple minded and causing the rest of Shaw's team a problem.

The glow plug isn't what causes combustion in a diesel like how a sparkplug does for gas. The wiring harness for a spark plug vs a glow plug is completely different and they aren't interchangeable. You can't just accidentally put a spark plug in a diesel, it doesn't work like that.

Trivia: When Brian goes undercover as a prison inmate to talk to Braga, his fake name is T. Bridges. Bridges is the real last name of Ludacris who plays Tej, and T is the first initial of Tyrese Gibson who plays Roman. (00:55:25)

More trivia for Fast & Furious 6

Question: Han's death, seen in Tokyo Drift, is seen here, tying up the threads and the jumping timeline leading into Furious 7. Was it always an option to re-feature that down the line to unite all the movies, or as more sequels were made did the makers just realise there was an opportunity to make use of the event?

Jon Sandys

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.
