The Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 that O'Connor drives was provided by Kaizo Industries which was claimed to be legal for road use under "kit car" guidelines. A Copy of the R34 was later believed to be stolen in July 2009,but it was not the movie car. The Original "KAIZO" GT-R 34 was seized by government agents in 2009 and exported in 2012 to GT-A Germany.

Goofs
David Park's car is described as a '98 Nissan 240 with illegal mods', which would make it an "s14". Though it is actually a Nissan Silvia S15. S15's were never produced for North America, while S14s were, which would mean it was imported from Japan. The body lines on the rear quarter panels, front end (headlights, fenders, etc.), and taillights prove it's an S15. It's also right-hand drive. See more »

Contrary to conventional wisdom, many sequels are superior to their originals (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and WRATH OF KHAN come immediately to mind). However, I cannot recall when the FOURTH film in a franchise was superior to all the others, including the original. However, what else can one say about a movie that: o covers its production costs in its first WEEK o has action sequences rivaling anything in the BORNE, BOND, STAR WARS
or INDIANA JONES franchises o Reunites its original cast and improves upon their relationships
FAST & FURIOUS does all this. Plus it has has fast cars, hot women, great music, outstanding photography, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez. It even moves better than AVATAR. WOW!
I give FAST & FURIOUS an 8
