this was a sad, sad movie...


nawwwwssss..... what the heck is that, naauuuss... o, NOS? that stands for nitrous oxide systems. it's a brand of nitrous oxide.

it has also recently come to my attention that some people think the word "turbo" referes to nitrous. no.

also, nitrous is not flammable. but it is combustable. what's the difference? flammable=flash point below 100 F. combustable=flashpoint above 100 F.

everyone presses the nitrous button in the middle of their races. but it's supposed to be used the whole time if you're flooring the accelerator.

yeah, they set up spotlights for the illegal drags..

what? the supra has a 2jz engine?? wow. all 4th gen's did. but wait.. the turbocharged ones were 2jz-gte engines, and the regular ones were 2jz-ge. same as the lexus sc300, gs300 and is300.

nobody says "honda 2000."

after they race the ferrari, they shut they just park and shut the car off... you can't do that with a turbocharged car that's just been driven hard. well, you could, if you wanted to mess it up..



and of course, in the end when dom & brian race... if the car pulls a wheelie, that means he's getting perfect traction, sending all the weight of the car to the rear tires. if the tires smoke, it means he doesn't have good traction. you can't do both at the same time... also, if you've ever seen a real wheelie, it happens more gradually than in the movie, where his car just flips up.

and for some stuff pulled off the web..
"In the first race, the four cars are racing in the city of Hawthrone, Ca. Then the police chase begins and Torreto ends up a few miles away on 7th street in Los Angeles. But after Brian picks him up and they escape from the police, in the next scene they end up in Johnny Tran's neighborhood in Orange County about 20 miles from Los Angeles. Why on earth did Brian drive all the way to Orange County, instead of taking Torreto to his home in Echo Park, just a few miles away from 7th street in Los Angeles. "

"At the first scene, when Brian's testing the top speed of his eclipse and it gets to 145 and he spins out like crazy (like 4-5 spins) but in the first race with Dom in the street he hits over 160, spins out and only does a 180 when he stops short. Kinda funny. "

"I'm not 100% on this one, but aren't cars with right sided drivers seats illegal in this country (USA).

Comment: No, right hand drive cars are perfectly legal here in the States. Just hard to get your drive through order"

"At the beginning of the movie when Brian is testing the top speed of his Eclipse, if you count the shifts, he was a 7 speed transmission? Doubtful, even a 6 speed is doubtful if he didn't have Nos yet. 

     Comment: Ever heard of downshifting? You moron.  
          Comment: Why would you downshift if you're testing your top speed?"


"In the scene when the orange Toyota Supra is racing the Dodge Charger, They race a distance of a quarter mile, from the stop light to the railroad tracks. Dominick said that the Charger can complete a quarter mile in 9 seconds. The Toyota Supra was supposedly said to complete a quarter mile in 10 seconds. I saw this movie three times, I timed it in my head, it took them 30 seconds to cross a quarter mile, not counting the slow-motion scenes. "


"When Jesse drives his jetta, it appears to be a 5 spd (manual transmission). If you looked at ebay when the jetta was for sale, the jetta was an automatic. - Bouse

Correction: I bet NOS wasn't in the Jetta on ebay!"

"When Brian finally kills Tran, he gets out of his cars to make sure Tran is dead, then when he returns to his car he hops in and speeds of. Would you really leave a $50k+ car running with the keys in the ignition as you run a good 500 feet away from it? (DVD) - Gonzo
-Brian being brainless is not a goof, in my opinion.
Correction: If you saw two guys shooting pistols and sub-machine guns at each other with one getting killed, would you really go and steal the shooter's car..? "



"When Paul Walker is racing in the green eclipse against Vin and Ja his floor unbolts and sparks up the road; how can Vin jump in the passenger seat and not hit the road with his feet not hit the floor. Also where did the lap top go up Vins a__. (DVD) - Hotbeatz
Explanation: Well in the movie when Dom is getting chased by the cops it is obvious that Brian followed him to save him. So he probably moved the laptop aside and Dom could have put his feet on the sides where the floor plate was."
