History Trivia / TheFastAndTheFurious

** The hot Brazilian cop assissting the DSS agents was last seen on [[SnakesOnAPlane a plane with motherfucking snakes.]]

* MarketBasedTitle: Many foreign countries have regular NumberedSequels instead of the word removal - only "Fast" or "Furious" - they got in English (at times with TheForeignSubtitle - for instance, ''Fast Five'' is known in many countries as ''Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist'').

** Kiet once [[TomYumGoong single-handedly mowed down a restaurant full of thugs]] in Sydney.

** Joe Taslim, an Indonesian actor known for playing Sergeant Jaka in TheRaid is Jah in Fast Six.
** [[spoiler: TheTransporter]] is set to be the BigBad of the seventh movie.

* ThrowItIn: The stuffy British guy in ''Furious 6'' was apparently supposed to say "You're clearly not a player" to Tej and Hobbs, but the actor ad-libbed "you're clearly not a ''baller''." This change cracked everyone up enough that it was left in.

** ''Tokyo Drift'' is the biggest offender, for obvious reasons: Lucas Black (Sean) was 22, Zachary Ty Brian (Clay) was 23, Nikki Griffin (Clay's girlfriend Cindy) was 28, Nathalie Kelley (Neela) was 21, Bow Wow (Twinkie) was 19, Leonardo Nam (Takeshi's friend Morimoto) was 25, and Brian Tee (Takeshi) was the worst at 29. Only Bow Wow was still technically a teenager out of the cast.

** PaulWalker's preference of Japanese imports in real life is also reflected on Brian. In fact, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R from ''2 Fast 2 Furious'' and the Toyota Supra from ''Furious 7'' are his personal vehicles.

** [[AustinPowers DK ran from Notzilla once]]. Then, [[BurnNotice Fiona and Michael]] caught him and Madeline played him for a fool.

** PaulWalker's preference of Japanese imports in real life is reflected through Brian himself. In fact, the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R from ''2 Fast 2 Furious'' and the Toyota Supra from ''Furious 7'' are his personal vehicles.

** Michelle Rodriguez & Jordana Brewster didn't have driving licences when they were first cast in the original film; they had one shot to pass their tests, and if they didn't, their roles would have been recast.

** Kiet once [[TomyumGoong single-handedly mowed down a restaurant full of thugs]] in Sydney.

* PlayingAgainstType: Ian is a far cry from Creator/{{Jason Statham}}'s [[AntiHero usual role]].

*** When the characters return in Fast 7, the trope is even more in effect. Lucas Black, now 32, Nathalie Kelley, now 29, and Bow Wow, now 27, return to play their unaged characters, [[spoiler:which would explain why they have so little screentime]].

** Hobbs, being played by former WWE champion [[Wrestling/Dwayne Johnson Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]], gets to bust out a few wrestling movies - he pulls off a [[ProfessionalWrestling Doomsday Device]] [[spoiler: with Dom]] in ''6'', and hits the Rock Bottom, his WWE finishing move, in ''Furious 7''.

** Hobbs pulls off a [[ProfessionalWrestling Doomsday Device]] [[spoiler: with Dom]] on Shaw's [[TheBrute giant henchman]] in ''6''.

** Certain versions of the DVD, as well as Blu-Ray copies of the original have what was going to be an alternate ending. Brian is dropped off at the Toretto home, now for sale, to find Mia packing up the garage. Mia tells him to go, before Brian reveals he quit his job as a cop and was hoping for one more chance, before cutting to a wide shot of LA. Given how the following sequel paints Brian as running away to Miami for a new start, it would have been interesting to see the current films if the alternate ending was used.

*** Interestingly, now that many of these characters are returning for Fast 7, the trope is even more so in effect. Lucas Black, now 32, Nathalie Kelley, now 29, and Bow Wow, now 27, are returning to play their unaged characters.

** Hobbs pulls off a [[ProfessionalWrestling Hart Attack]] [[spoiler: with Dom]] on Shaw's [[TheBrute giant henchman]] in ''6''.

** Well, Schulze was still in his twenties at least. Diesel, however, passed pretty well for 24-year old Toretto. (Many have jokingly attributed [[OneOfUs Diesel's]] younger appearance compared to his real age to his love for [[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]].) However, the actors for Tokyo Drift easily stand out as people older than their character's ages, Dawson Casting at it's damn-near worst.
