Revealing mistake: When the final race is under way, the silver Saleen S7 hits a Police SUV and makes it flip, you can see the smoke coming out of the bottom of the SUV where the cannon has fired to flip the SUV.
Need for Speed (2014)
Directed by: Scott Waugh
Starring: Dominic Cooper, Aaron Paul, Dakota Johnson, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi
Continuity mistake: When Toby and Anita are talking in San Francisco, she says she knows Dino was there the night her brother died. It was broad daylight when Pete died. (00:33:35 - 01:34:15)
Continuity mistake: When the Shelby Mustang makes the 'Grasshopper' jump, the wheels change to a completely different type when it's in the air. After it lands, the wheels change back to the original wheels.
Trivia: In the beginning, the movie playing at the drive-in is Steve McQueen's "Bullitt", considered by many to have the best car chase scenes as well as some of the coolest cars.
Tobey Marshall: I do not fear, for you are with me. All those who defied me, shall be ashamed and disgraced. Those who wage war against me, shall perish. I will find strength, find guidance, and I will triumph.
Julia Maddon: Oh my god! Oh my god.
Tobey Marshall: Hey, hey. Look at me. Just breathe, breathe. Good. Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes. Good. What color are they?
Julia Maddon: They're really blue.
Tobey Marshall: They're really blue, good, good. They're a lot bluer than yours.
Julia Maddon: No.
Tobey Marshall: Yes they are.
Julia Maddon: They're not.
Tobey Marshall: Yes.
Julia Maddon: They're not bluer.
Tobey Marshall: Admit it.
Julia Maddon: Mine are bluer.
Julia Maddon: Life can be full of surprises.
Little Pete: I find life to be full of people who think they're smart 'cause they have a fancy accent. No offense.
Julia Maddon: Some taken.
Question: Is there a reason that none of the participants in the final race is using their seat belts (that I could notice)?
Question: Near the end a cop rigs his car up ahead of the racers with a baton holding down the accelerator. As the racers came by he put his car into drive, launching it into them. It's this an actual legit police technique? Wouldn't it be just as effective, if not more, had he simply parked it across the road? (Small road with trees on both side).
Answer: I agree with Ssiscool though I am not a cop either. This method is way too drastic and risky, I doubt that any police would use such uncontrollable and destructive force to simply stop a suspect while they could just install spike strips or - as suggested by the aforementioned - place a proper road block, giving a chance to the offenders to stop in time and surrender.
Question: Just after Maverick gets put in jail he makes one of the officers hold up a tablet for them, showing the lawbreaking race. This doesn't seem likely at all to me: 1, wouldn't this encourage more lawbreaking? 2, surely an officer has better things to do than stand there holding a tablet. 3, I call this an objectification of the officer (reduced to a stand). 4, inmates making their officers doing what they want can't end up good. I'm not wrong here, or what?
Answer: In this instance he was a civilian in military prison. Notice he wore civilian clothes while his cellmate still had on garb. The rules process is different for civilians held in military prison so it is quite reasonable that would happen.
