Storyline

Now that Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) are on their honeymoon, and Brian (Paul Walker) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) have retired from the game, and the rest of the crew has been exonerated, the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime he can't seem to escape, and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, the elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world's stage, and to bring home the man who made them a family.

Goofs

The heat-seeking missile launched at Dom would've hit Dom in a matter of seconds. The slowest heat-seeking missile, has a speed of Mach 2.5 which is a bit faster than a bullet. There is no way a car running on ice at approx 80 mph would've outrun a missile coming at him at 1,900 mph.

Quotes

[first lines]
Plymouth Owner: [in Spanish] We swap in parts from Fords... Plymouths and Cadillacs. My grandfather bought it in 1957. When he died, it passed to my father. Then my brother, and now me.
Dominic Toretto: [in Spanish, to Letty] Look at this. This is an engine from a boat.
Letty: No way.
Plymouth Owner: [in Spanish] Whatever it takes to keep it running

Alternate Versions

The British version is cut for violence to secure a 12A rating, reducing a neck break as a result of a heavy punch to the jaw. The uncut version would've been rated 15.

User Reviews

Good

There are some amazing scenes, and the talented cast has fantastic chemistry, and as always the action is loud enough, but the story, character development and plot are somewhat lacking.
