Trivia and Facts
- In the film, the character Nat acquaints Richard with the fact that there are more than three Fast and Furious movies, to Richard’s surprise. Richard is excited to find out that Dwayne Johnson features in the films, and is equally stunned about Paul Walker’s death during the filming of the seventh film. This scene contradicts reality where Jason Mantzoukas, who plays Richard, co-hosts a podcast, “How Did This Get Made?” In this podcast, he and his fellow hosts have deliberated every Fast and Furious movie as they hit the theatres.
- About 68 minutes into the movie, a character named Francois asks both guys to alight his car, with the driver side door seen as securely shut. However, a minute later still in the film, we observe Francois driving off, surprisingly, both the driver and passenger doors open as he speeds off.
