- Crew or equipment visible: As the Charger is flying through the air towards the end of the movie, the stuntman and his helmet are visible for a few seconds.
- Continuity: When Brian is calling the paramedics after rescuing Vince from the truck, the cell phone inexplicably switches from his right hand to his left in the middle of a line of dialog.
- Continuity: When Jesse gets ready to race at race wars, we see the Honda 2000 standing next to him. Then Brian asks Jesse who he's racing, and we see the Honda 2000 arriving for the second time.
- Revealing mistakes: When Officer Brian O'Conner chases one of the motorcyclists over a hill, the ramps used to lift the car off the ground are visible.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the agents are debating whether Mia is clouding the opinion of Brian, the dialogue is, "Hey, I don't blame you. I get off on her surveillance photos too." But he is clearly dubbed over saying, "Hey, I don't blame you. I beat off to her surveillance photos too.
- Revealing mistakes: In the scene with the cars driving under the truck (trailer), the trailer switches from a standard tandem configuration to an obviously rigged (raised) single axle trailer.
- Factual errors: Although clearly done for cinematic purposes (to make it obvious what is in the truck), the container full of electronic equipment isn't packed at all realistically, with everything packed at the sides and none of it wrapped in plastic or on pallets. At the first turn, the boxes would be all over the place.
- Revealing mistakes: When Paul Walker jumps onto the truck to save the guy, you can very clearly see the safety harness strapped to his back in several shots.
- Continuity: When the Supra is chasing the dirt bikes it switches from clean to very dirty many times between shots.
- Factual errors: The police scanner mounted on the dash on one of the "lookout" cars during the street race is an early-'80s Radio Shack Patrolman scanner which is not capable of receiving the current 800mhz digital trunking system currently used by L.A.P.D. and L.A. County Sheriff.
- Continuity: Paul Walker wipes the top of his beer on his shirt twice in Dom's house after the first race.
- Continuity: In Letty's race at Race Wars, her seats change from black racing seats, to light gray stock seats, then back to racing seats
- Continuity: After leaving the parking garage where he has hidden his car, Dominick is spotted by a single police car and followed/chased. During the pursuit, the police car changes (as evidenced by the light bar on the top) between shots.
- Continuity: When Dominic's Charger hits the truck, the roll cage fitted into Brian's car is clearly visible in many shots. In close-ups and stationary shots, the cage is not present.
- Continuity: The floor of the passenger side of Brian's car comes off in the first race yet Dom doesn't seem to need to be wary of this missing floor when he rides with Brian later that night.
- Continuity: The Eclipse moves around between shots before being destroyed.
- Continuity: Before the first race, Dominic lifts his passenger seat up to open the value for the nitrous oxide, it is shown as being on the far side of the seat close to the passenger door. But when we see a close-up of his hand turning the value and lowering the seat, it is shown next to his console, between his and the passenger seat
- Continuity: Ted's shirt alternates between dry and oily between shots during the sequence at Tran's garage.
- Continuity: When one of the bikers comes off the road, Toretto goes to look over the ridge at the him and we see a bandage on his nose, which is not there in previous or subsequent shots.
- Continuity: When Walker test outs the eclipse at dodger stadium he shifts into 2nd gear twice.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Paul Walker is driving the green Eclipse at the stadium in the beginning of the movie, he shifts seven times. The Eclipse comes with a 5-speed manual.
- Continuity: Toward the end of the film when the three Civics are trying to highjack the truck, the rear spoiler of Dom's car changes style between shots.
- Continuity: When Dom is trying to reach Vince (who is hanging from the truck) close-ups clearly show him wearing a short-sleeve white t-shirt, while the long shots show a long-sleeved arm (black) reaching from the car.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Dom is trying to rescue Vince from the truck, you can see a stuntman's arms driving the car in a few of the rear shots due to the long sleeve black shirt he is wearing compared to the short sleeve white shirt that Dom is wearing.
- Continuity: Many of the cars have roll cages which change colors between shots.
- Factual errors: Toretto tells O'Conner that he spent time in Lompoc (the federal penitentiary in Lompoc, California), pronouncing it "lom-pock." If he'd actually been there, he'd know it's pronounced "lom-poke" (emphasis on first syllable).
- Continuity: During the race wars, when Jesse is up against Johnny Tran, we see Johnny Tran pull up in his car next to him and he is clearly wearing a buttoned up black shirt. However, once the ref lifts his hands and waves the signal to go, the next shot of Tran in the car and after the race shows him in a black tank top.
- Revealing mistakes: When the bikers are shooting at the cars parked on the street, the glass is seen to explode outward. If the bullets were hitting the glass from outside, the glass particles would fly into the car.
- Continuity: Toward the beginning of the movie when Brian drives into the alley and parks, there is a candy orange Honda Accord Wagon with no hood right next to the green Eclipse on the driver's side. After Hector introduces himself to Brian, he points across the alley to his car but we see the same Honda Accord that Brian is parked next to. You can tell by, 1) the headlights (Hector drives a mid-'90s model Civic hatchback which has more rounded headlights, but the car he point's to has rectangular Honda Accord headlights), and, 2) the design at the bottom of the windshield (both the car that Brian is standing next to and the car Hector points to have the same design, but later in the film, Hector drives to The Racer's Edge, and his Civic has nothing at the bottom of the windshield, also, note the headlights on the Civic and on the car he points to).
- Revealing mistakes: In one aerial shot after the first race when the police are driving onto the street, you can see police cars waiting for their cues on the side streets. They have their parking lights on at first and then turn on their lights and light bars when they begin driving into the racer traffic.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Edwin is looking at Brian's car before the first race, he is heard to say, "He's got enough NOS in there to blow himself up, period," but he appears to be saying something else.
- Continuity: A Ford badge appears on the front grill of Brian's red F-150 pick-up between shots when he parks outside Mia's restaurant (immediately before the early "tuna sandwich" scene).
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the final race between the Charger and the Supra, the Charger shifts five times. It is shown to have a ratchet shifter installed which means that it is an automatic transmission. 6-speed automatic transmissions are not very common, but even if they were, ratchet shifters like the one in the movie can only be configured to work on 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmissions.
- Continuity: When Brian gets out of the car to check Tran after shooting him off his bike, he clearly slams the door of his Supra as he runs over to him, but when he returns to the car, the door is open.
- Continuity: When they pull up for the race, all four racers engage first gear, but as one of the cars is already moving towards the line it must already be in gear.
- Factual errors: In the CG sequence from the gear stick through the engine of Dom's RX-7 we see pistons working in the engine. The Mazda RX series use Wankel rotary engines, which have no pistons.

go to nitpickers.com and behold the insane attention to detail and at times utter lack of enjoying a movie with some of the people.
Yes there are issues with some movies, but some of the nitpicks are just for the sake of....whining...pointing them out...trying to say they wouldn't make the mistake....I dunno.
Still some are funny

This movie has been such a foundation in my life......until now. I'm taking my whole StreetGlow kit out tonight, and peeling of my "Samurai" vinyl.
This is unfortunate, guys...I started living the Fast and Furious lifestyle. I even have a cult following of ricers...but i don't call them a gang, i call them my Team, cuz we're a team. I somehow thought that if I could paint my car green enough, that my 5spd would automatically turn into a 7spd. And I was only 47 cubic feet of vinyl away from having an aluminum floor. The uncovering of these inaccuracies couldn't have happened at a worse time.
