The scene near the end of the movie where the blue car is driven onto the boat was filmed at Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne. A new fishing pier was built by the movie crew to provide the ramp, and a car was prepared, with the engine and all fuel and brake lines removed, and the vehicle steam cleaned, so no oil or gas would pollute Biscayne Bay. The plan was to film the shot several times, but the first one went so well that the additional takes were cancelled. See more »
Goofs
The S2000 in the first race sounds like a Saab 9-5 aero with a blow off valve because of the low revs (around 6000 rpm), a real S2000 revs to over 9500 rpm thanks to the short stroke engine. In the race the S2000 sounds like it's maxing out at around 6000 rpm and has a more rougher tone than the typical Honda-snarl. See more »

Alternate Versions
In order to get a 12 rating in the UK, the BBFC cut stomps, kicks and spitting on a prone man, omitting 11 seconds. Although the UK DVD is rated 15, the cuts still remain. The 15 rating for the DVD is because of the special features, the main film is still rated 12. The UK Blu-ray and UK 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is uncut. See more »

This movie comes without Vin Diesel, but that's no problem. Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson work very well together. Add Eva Mendes and the franchise has a worthy sequel.
