QIs there anything after the credits?
AJust before the production credits roll, there is a short scene that takes place in DDS headquarters, Washington D.C. Hobbs is handed a document folder by US customs agent Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes) and told that he needs to look at it. Monica explains that, at 3am in Berlin, a team of drivers hijacked a military convoy. 'Toretto?' asks Hobbs. Monica says no, then points out a photo of one of the hijackers. It's Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom's girlfriend who supposedly was killed in Fast & Furious.
QI don't get how they got the money out of the safe while they were busy trying to escape the police.
AThey didn't get the money out of the safe; they simply switched safes. That little feat is shown in flashback just after Hobbs opens the safe and finds it to be empty. Dom and Brian ran the safe with the money into the back of a garbage truck. As they drove past the truck, the guys on the truck disconnected the full safe and attached the empty safe, which was on the front of the truck under a black tarp. Then Dom and Brian just kept going in their cars, now hauling the empty safe.
QWhat are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Extended Cut?
AAside from a few short plot lengthenings, about one dozen typical MPAA-cuts, mostly just frames, were reintegrated in the Theatrical Version. Some depictions of bullet and stab wounds were equipped with CGI blood textures, but mostly their quality isn't that good and it doesn't fit to the rest of the action sequences, which are quite bloodless.
All in all, the Extended Cut is a nice bonus to Fast Five but because of the minor changes, which can barely be seen during the action sequences due to the fast cutting, you are well served by the Theatrical Version.
In total the Extended Cut is approx. 70 seconds longer than the Theatrical Version and a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
