• The director of 'The Fate of the Furious' is F. Gary Gray. The list of candidates included Louis Leterrier, William Eubank, and Adam Wingard. Erickson Core, the cinematographer of the first 'Fast and Furious' film (2001), was even considered for the director's position.
• A conflict erupted between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel a week before the end of filming due to Diesel canceling some of the scenes planned with Johnson at the last minute.
• One of the proposals during the project's development was to focus on street racing rather than special effects and large-scale action scenes, in order to honor the memory of Paul Walker.
• One of the key action episodes was filmed in Iceland in April 2016. It is considered the largest explosion scene ever filmed in the country.
• Charlize Theron's character is the first female main antagonist in the franchise.
• During the race at the beginning of the film, Vin Diesel's character activates turbo mode with the words: "Well, Buster, now we'll find out if it works or not." The fact is that he was inspired with the idea of a 'turbo for the poor' by Brian O'Conner, whom Dominic's team always called Buster.
• In one of the film's episodes, Jason Statham's character calls Dwayne Johnson's hero Hercules. Johnson played the main role in Brett Ratner's blockbuster "Hercules" (2014).
• Many of the events depicted in the film take place in New York, but filming there was almost nonexistent. Nearly all the action scenes were shot in Cleveland or Atlanta for the simple reason that any attempt to block off Manhattan's main streets for filming would have been a logistical nightmare.
• Vin Diesel and the producers dreamed of filming some racing scenes in Manila and contacted the relevant Philippine authorities for permission to close a significant section of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, known as EDSA, to traffic. The Filipinos did not grant permission, as closing the highway would have paralyzed traffic throughout the city.
• Hobbs and the footballers perform a traditional warrior dance of tribes living in the Pacific archipelagoes. Rugby players from New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, etc., perform it before every match.
• Scott Eastwood's character is never referred to by name. The actor's father, Clint Eastwood, played "the man with no name" in Sergio Leone’s (1929-1989) famous "Dollars Trilogy" – "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "For a Few Dollars More" (1965), and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966).
• Director F. Gary Gray filmed and included a scene that had to be cut before release in the UK, otherwise the British Board of Film Classification would have given the film a "15" rating (for ages 15 and over; the film may contain strong language, harsh violence, sexual themes, and scenes of drug or alcohol use). Without this scene, the film received a "12A" rating (under 12s are only admitted with a parent).
• Dominic's son is named Brian in honor of Paul Walker, who played Brian O'Conner in previous films in the franchise. In 2015, Vin Diesel named his daughter Pauline, also in honor of Walker.
• Brian O'Conner, played by Paul Walker, drove Japanese cars. Scott Eastwood, who replaced Walker, also drives Japanese cars (Subaru BRZ and Subaru Impreza WRX STi).
• At the end of the film, the Shaw brothers infiltrate Cipher's plane, and Deckard makes a joke about Owen and planes. This refers to the 6th film in the franchise (2013), where Owen was the main antagonist and was thrown out of a plane.
• The director of "The Fate of the Furious" is F. Gary Gray. The list of candidates included Louis Leterrier, William Eubank, and Adam Wingard. Erickson Core, the cinematographer of the first "Fast and Furious" (2001) film, was even considered for the director's position.
• During the race at the beginning of the film, Vin Diesel's character activates turbo mode, saying: "Well, Buster, now we'll find out if it works or not." The fact is that the idea of a "turbo for the poor" device was suggested to him by Brian O'Conner, whom Dominic's team always called Buster.
