When Brian is spinning his Evo around on the highway to pay Rome back, we can see at that one brief interior shot that there are no cars in the background. (Paul Walker did that spin for real on an empty freeway, but of course he did that with no cars around). See more...
There is one error in the Tag Team race: the street is not that long. (I should know, because my dad works on that street.) In the movie, it took a little while to finish getting down that street which was unbelievable, especially at the speed they were going. In reality, if you were to race down that street from where they started (without turning back) it would take you an estimated eight to nine seconds. See more...

When Brian and Roman drive to the impound yard they skid to a stop, which kicks up a lot of dust that settles on their cars. When they arrive back at Carter's, the cars are spotless. [The amount of dust that lands is very minamal, when they arrive the dust can't be seen due to the length of the shot.]

At the end of the first race, when Brian and the other guy prepare to jump the bridge, it cuts to Brian who shifts gears and puts on the accelerator. Look closely at the "Revs" counter (next to the speedometer), it is showing almost 0 revs on a car that's moving at very high speed. (Zoom and slow motion may be required.) [If Slow-Mo is required, by the site rules, it invalidates the mistake.]

When the driver of the Supra crashes, look closely and you'll see the rear bumper come off. But when he climbs out, it's still on. [I've watched my version and can't see this mistake at any point even with slow-mo.]

Right after Brian hands the money over to Tej at the first race, he walks over to his car and it seems that he's about to get into the car. But MUCH later we actually see him approaching his car again, opening the door, spotting Monica and getting in. [If it seems like he is going to get into his car, he might get distracted by something off camera then walks back and spots Monica.]

In the scene where Brian and Rome get out of the customs office and discuss a whole new strategy, Brian calls Tej and asks him for help. Brian is wearing a blue shirt and Rome is wearing a white tank top. In the next scene, Brian and Rome are wearing completely new outfits, but when they have a look at the stored cars, they are wearing the previous outfits again (blue shirt, white tank top). And in the next scene it's the same again: While they are sharing memories at sunset, Brian is wearing his grey shirt again and Rome wears also his previous outfit. [While it's most likely a mistake, given these are separate scenes there's no definite continuity error here.]

When Rome and Brian go to collect Verone's money there is a grey Dodge parked outside of the trailer home. Just before Enrique opens the door, in the lower left hand corner the cameraman is backing up. [It could well be Enrique's partner, Brian or Rome.]

Even though Roman is "parked so close to the derby" this would not satisfy the house arrest thing. For one you have to have a phone for the ankle bracelet and I doubt that cell phones work, since that would defeat the purpose. [We never see inside Rome's caravan/trailer so he could have a main phone line.]

When Brian and Rome are going to rescue Monica, they are talking the whole time as to what next to do. We see several edited-in backgrounds at every close-up, and in one of Rome's closeups we see a road pointing straight at the car. This would be impossible, the road where Brian and Rome are driving is parallel to the sea, and that would mean that this street would lead right into the sea. We don't see the other side of it though - any reason it couldn't just be a T-junction joining their road?]
In one of the last scenes, Rome says something about "... stay here in Miami to keep you out of trouble bro". There's a close-up of Brian, and Rome's visible in the right corner as he starts to speak, but his mouth doesn't move. [Rome only goes "hmm" which dosen't require you to open your mouth. Then when he is out of shot he carries on.]

In the scene towards the end when Brian and Rome jump onto the back of the boat, Rome complains of a broken arm and Brian hits his head and is holding his forehead with his hand and reveals a bruise. Back on land, the bruise is gone. [It's not a bruise it is actually a shadow cast by the way his hands are positioned. This is why it's not visible on land.]

When Brian is racing the blue muscle car, you can see that the blue car's numberplate is "Year One", but when the "ejecto seato" is being talked about it has a different numberplate. [The "Year One" plate is only on the front. When racing for the cars, and when adding some extra Nitrous the plates are always "Year One" on the front and normal on the back.]

In the highway scene, with all of the potential employees racing to the boatyard, just before the shot of the Mustang going between the two trucks, there is a frame or two of a boat being towed on a trailer, then suddenly it's replaced by the Mustang shot. [The shot is from the left of the left lorry. It shows the mustang going down the right side of the left lorry meaning it's going between the two. Not a mistake.]

In the whole sequence where Rome and Brian are racing with the other guys to get to that impound lot, you can see several shots of Brian's feet and his socks are grey. However, when he gets out of the car again, his socks are white. [This is due to shadow of the items in the car. This makes it look grey.]

At Verone's house, just after Verone says "meet me at a club tonight", there is a shot looking up and as Brian and Verone are shaking hands Monica is beside them. However, in the previous and following shots Monica is standing behind Brian and Roman. [Trick of the camera. Monica is behind them all the time.]

During the initial race sequence the Corvette has its top down until it crashes, when we see the top is up. [In the inital race, all cars except the S2000 have got hard tops.]

Immediately after the fly through of the car's electrical system, we see the US Customs tracking computer display. It reads Skynet. [How is this trivia? An item that can be spotted by just watching is not classed as trivia.]

When the cars are on the highway there is a scene when the Evo is speeding past the camera at the close up angle, beside the Evo there is the grey Corvette and behind is the orange and then the blue muscle behind it. In the next shot the blue car is in front of the orange car. [It's very plausible that they switched places as Brian and Rome do it all the time.]

In the race at the beginning, the front of Suki's car is all banged up. However, when the cops arrive, as Suki drives the car the front is completely fine. [Having just watched this part of the film I can say that the front of her car is missing the bumper throughout.]

In that scene where Brian is introducing Rome to Tej, there is a big waterski-race going on, and Tej is following it apparently with great interest. Yet he's always looking in the wrong direction, for the waterski-racers have to get past the house-boat, which is seen to Tej's left. [Having just watched this scene, he is always looking in the right place.]

In the scene where the two thugs and their boss have searched Paul Walker's houseboat for the girl they turn to leave, satisfied she is not on board. Just after they have left Paul Walker's friend turns to him and comments really loudly about the girl on the boat. Surely they would have heard him? [If the thugs were in deep conversation they wouldn't have heard anything.]
