Continuity mistake: When Sean Boswell is driving the red Lancer for the first time at the docks, right after the guy in the orange sweater says, "Will someone please teach this guy to drift", Sean crashes the back of his car against a pile of wood, and you can see the spoiler falling on the ground. In the next shot, you see Sean's face, and in the background the spoiler is back on the car. (00:45:20)

17th Nov 2006
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Visible crew/equipment: In the first race when Sean and the rich kid in the red viper are racing each other the rich kid pulls up to the black ute that is following them and yells "whoooo" and puts his fist up, you can see the camera mounted on the side of the viper through the reflection of the black ute. (00:06:15)
20th Mar 2002
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the opening hijack scene, the semi obviously has two sets of rear wheels on the trailer, but when it comes to the scene where the black Honda is under the trailer, there is only one set of rear wheels. (00:01:11)
16th Sep 2006
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, right before the race against Vin Diesel, the two cars are placed very close, within a foot or two of each other. A couple of shots later, right before the girlfriend says 'Go.', the cars are a couple of feet further apart, even though they haven't yet started the race. (01:32:40)
1st Nov 2007
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the final race when the 350Z rear ends the Mustang and rides up on the embankment, as it starts to come back down the right headlight falls out (left one broke when he hit him). In the next scene it is miraculously back in place. (01:29:05)
13th Jun 2007
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie the hole in the back on Sean's car vanishes in some scenes. (00:04:05)
17th Aug 2007
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sean is making his first pickup for Han, from the large man in the jacuzzi, he is dressed in only a towel. When the large man throws him out of the establishment, he is fully dressed. Are we to believe that the large, angered man who Sean just demanded money from, gave him time to get fully dressed before throwing him out? Or that the large man dressed Sean before throwing him out? Neither of these scenarios make sense. (00:34:00)
10th Sep 2006
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Continuity mistake: In the school canteen scene when Sean is talking to Twinkie for the first time, the food on Sean's chopsticks and the position of them alternates from being in his mouth to back out or on the table between shots, even though Sean is visible in each shot. Also if you watch his drink he takes a sip and puts the glass down, but in the next shot a second later he is drinking from it again. (00:19:00 - 00:19:50)
25th Mar 2003
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: After the street race at the start, Leon alerts everyone that the cops are coming. While everyone is scattering you see a closeup of Brian running around to the door of his car and opening it, then a bird's eye view of his car with no-one near it. Then you see other people running and getting into their cars, then you see Brian run up to his car, open the door again and get in. (00:22:52)
24th Dec 2003
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: After Brian and Dom start to run from the cops, they go around a corner. If you look in the rear windshield, the chasing police car goes right through the intersection, the camera goes to a different shot, and the police car crashes. (00:25:10)
14th Aug 2005
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Brian has picked up Dom from the first race, the Chinese guys drive up behind him. If you notice out of Dom's window it is a blue motorbike that appears, in the following shot the motorbikes on Dom's side are both red. (00:25:40)
10th Jan 2003
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Revealing mistake: When Brian picks up Dom he runs away from cops. He drives between two cop cars and then jumps. When you look carefully you can see a ramp for the car. (00:25:27)
Suggested correction: That is not a ramp, it is trash bags on the ground. The road has a slope to make the car jump.
14th Aug 2005
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Brian pulls up to Dom's garage towing a red car, Jessie looks under the hood, and the shot from inside the car shows Jessie in one shot with his arms down, in the next shot, he has them up or crossed. (00:37:25)
23rd Dec 2002
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dom is pulling his red RX7 into the garage after the first race is broken up by the cops, he is making a right turn into the garage. When they cut to the front of the car pulling in the garage, his left signal light is on, meaning he made a left turn into the garage. (00:23:59)
30th Sep 2002
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mia sees Brian coming into the house, she looks down at herself and decides to change. When she takes off her shirt and throws it at the camera, look at the mirror and you can see the cameraman's elbow just coming into shot for a few frames. (00:29:20)
10th Sep 2002
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dom pulls up to the street race with his team, he clearly has indiglo gauges. When the 4 cars actually race, Dom glances at his speedometer, and...no indiglo. (00:12:40)
26th Aug 2005
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Brian, Roman and Monica are at Verone's mansion, Roman is saying, "You were checking her out," Brian says, "Ok I was, now shut up," in this shot Brian looks away to his right, yet in the following shot, he is looking in Roman's direction. (00:34:35)
24th Oct 2003
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Brian and Rome find Verone's red car at the impound lot, just after they get out of their cars, the Mitsubishi sign on the Evo's front is missing. In the next shot, however, it's there again. (00:32:30)
23rd Jan 2005
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Continuity mistake: When the Evolution smashes into the gate in the boatyard it should have made a really big dent in the front of the car or at least a scratch on the bodywork. Yet in the next scene when you see it come to a stop in front of the Ferrari, the car is in perfect condition with no dents or scratches. (00:31:50)
