Mistakes

In the scene where Twinkie is about to show Sean his car; the garage door opens to show a black car. The car holding mechanism begins turning and Twink is shown saying "no" to Sean. When the camera cuts back, there are bicycles where the black car was. Then, there is a red car next. Twink says "no". When the camera cuts back, the red car is now black. The mechanism isn't going that fast. See more...

Trivia

On the movie poster, signs on the buildings say "Wild Speed" and "Wild Speed Drift" in Japanese characters. "Wild Speed" is the Japanese title for "The Fast and the Furious". See more...

Entry In the scene where Sean is passing computer notes to Nila in class, Nila's screen is full of Japanese characters but her keyboard is in English. Sean's screen shows the same Japanese characters. In the short time that Sean has been in Japan, he'd be hard pressed to understand what's going on with the language itself, let alone the actual writing. [It's an immersion class, in which the Japanese characters *would* be the only thing on the screen. Much like English immersion classes, where there is no reference to Japanese characters or speech. And, yes, he would be hard pressed to understand what's going on, as evidenced by his confusion over his shoes vs slippers in class. That's the whole purpose of immersion classes.]
Entry In the main characters first race against DK, when DK is just drifting into the up ramp in the carpark, his car jumps two-three metres forwards, indicating where the driver has wiped out and they spliced in another scene. [At no point does the car jump 3 meters. It's just different angles.]

Entry In the scene when Sean and DK are racing down the mountain, you see the boost gauge in the Shelby spike. This is not possible, as the Turbo Nissan engine would be fitted with boost regulators such as wastegates and blow-off valves to prevent engine damage. [Almost all turbos have wastegates, even so, it is possible to see a spike in a boost gauge as it hits top boost. All the turbo vehicles I've driven have had wastegates, and all of them I have been able to send the needle into the overboost part of the gauge momentarily under heavy acceleration.]
Entry In the scene where Han dies, you can see tyre marks on the ground where the stunt crew has been practising (particularly the part where Sean drifts through the crowded square). These marks wouldn't normally be there, as cars don't generally drift through a crowded city centre. [Tokyo is full of street racers and tuned cars. Why wouldn't people ever drift around these great drifting corners? Just because the city center is crowed during the day doesn't mean that there were never night races. Another plausibility is that the marks weren't even left by racers. It could have just been someone trying to beat the light, or breaking hard. It's not uncommon for a city as big as Tokyo to have tire marks on the roads.]

Entry Neela said that she was born in Australia, and raised in Japan after her parents died. Despite this, she still speaks with an Australian accent. [She doesn't indicate how old she was before she came to Japan. My ex wife spoke with a heavy Russian accent years after moving to Canada, my boss has been in Canada over 25 years, and still has a heavy Swiss accent. People don't always, in fact rarely, pick up the accent of a country they move to, instead they usually have the accent they first develop throughout their life.]
Entry The guy sitting a couple of seats in front of the Sean (on the right side of the cute girl) on the plane to Japan is the same guy that opens the gate for Twinkie and Sean on their way to the garage where the races take place. [The two scenes take place a day apart. The guy on the plane could very well be the same guy who opens the gate.]
Entry In nearly all the race scenes as well as the Tokyo chase scene, you can see the skid marks on the road from previous takes. [This movie is about street racers. Those turns have been taken many, many, times before by many many many other racers. I'm pretty sure that these cars weren't the first ones to ever race the streets of Tokyo, the skid marks were left by previous racers that were not seen in the movie.]

Entry In the scene where Twinkie is showing Sean his hulk car, when the garage opens, the first vehicle you see is a car, then the shot shows Sean and Twinkie. When it cuts back to the garage, you can see the car has changed into a bike. [The cars and bikes are on a rotating elevator, when they first show the car the elevator begins to rotate so when the scene switches to Twinkie and Sean and back that is why you now see a bike.]
Entry In the scene where twinkle first shows his car to Sean, you see that it is a plan green hulk VW, but 2 secs later when they turn up to the multistory carpak for the meet/drift race, it has a set of 4 tryes on the roof. you first see it at 19:20 then look again at 19:30 and you will see the tryes. [When you first see the van, it doesn't have tires on the roof. In between scenes, there is a deleted scene which shows them stopping at a gas station and boosting tires, which were put on the roof. These are the tires seen when they arrive at the car park. The tires were owed to one of the other racers.]
Time
Entry Keiko Kitagawa who plays Reiko may be better known to japanese fans as "Rei" from the live action show "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon". [As stated in the rules, pointing out what other movies or TV shows a paticular actress has been in is not valid trivia.]
