Goofs
Johnny Tran isn't happy when he sees two empty engine bays, and suspects Ted of being responsible for selling the Nissan SR20 motors. The problem is that the cars in the shot are Hondas, and couldn't have been fitted with the SR20 engines due to the FWD-RWD difference.
Share this
Many of the cars have roll cages which change colors between shots.

During the last race when Dom's car is flying over Brian, the Supra's steering wheel changes from a racing steering wheel to stock steering wheel.

Is 'The Fast and the Furious' based on a book?
A
The Fast and the Furious is loosely based on a May, 1998 Vibe magazine article about illegal street racing, 'Racer X', by Ken Li. The article was adapted for the movie by American Samoa-born film-maker Gary Scott Thompson (screen story) and American screenwriters Erik Berguist and David Ayer (screenplay). The movie has since been followed by five sequels: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011) and Furious 6 (2013). Furious 7 is set for release in 2015.
Q
What is 'The Fast and the Furious' about?
A
LAPD undercover cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) infiltrates the world of illegal street racing in Los Angeles in order to find evidence connecting gang leader Dominic 'Dom' Toretto (Vin Diesel) with hijacking trucks and stealing over six million dollars of merchandise and electronic equipment. His job is complicated when he begins to fall in love with Dom's sister Mia (Jordana Brewster), finds himself questioning Dom's involvement, and begins to suspect a rival group, led by Johnny Tran (Rick Yune). Meanwhile, his superior, Sergeant Tanner (Ted Levine), along with FBI Agent Harry Bilkins (Thom Barry), are worried because truck drivers are beginning to arm themselves, so the FBI is planning to bust Toretto in 36 hours.
