(#7) Letty Didn't Actually Meet Her End In 'Fast & Furious'
Fast & Furious is built around Dominic Toretto returning to Los Angeles to investigate Letty’s demise. She and her car were set on fire by a baddie named Fenix after he discovered that she’s working undercover. That’s it for Letty, or at least until the next film.
In the post-credits sequence of Fast Five, Monica Fuentes reveals to Luke Hobbs that Letty is actually alive and that she’s working for evildoer Owen Shaw. According to Letty, Shaw discovered her in a coma and then put her to work.
(#8) Ages Are Fungible In The Shaw Family
Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw, and the actor is 52 years old. In Hobbs & Shaw, 31-year-old Vanessa Kirby plays his sister, Hattie Shaw.
On its face, this isn't a problem. A 21-year age gap between siblings isn't super common, but it's not unheard of. Yet, in a flashback in the film, Hattie and Owen are shown pulling off heists with one another while they're children. How?
(#4) Letty And Dom Actually Got Married Before 'Fast & Furious'
This is one of the more out of nowhere retcons in the series, mostly because it deals with something that we should have known or even seen in one of the many films in this franchise.
Throughout Furious 7, Letty deals with intense amnesia and it’s not until Dom suffers a near-fatal incident that her memories come flooding back. While cradling Toretto, Letty reveals that she remembers their wedding - something that the audience didn’t see until Letty had a flashback.
This means that she and Dom had to have been married after the events of the short film Los Bandoleros but before the events of Fast & Furious. So, when Dom leaves Letty in the beginning of Fast & Furious, he's not just abandoning his long time lover, he's abandoning the person he promised to be with "till death do us part."
(#6) Elena Somehow Found The Time To Join The Diplomatic Security Service Between 'Fast 6' And 'Furious 7'
In Fast 5, patrol officer Elena Neves is recruited by Hobbs to track down Dom and Brian while they’re in Brazil. She falls in love with Dom and the two run away together to live in bliss. When Dom finds out that Letty’s still alive in Fast & Furious 6, he leaves Elena in the Canary Islands.
Elena is still technically a fugitive, but the next time we see her is in Furious 7, she’s working as a trainee with Hobbs. There’s no explanation, no training montage, she just scores a job with a highly secretive military outfit.
This wouldn't be so headache-inducing if not for Fate of the Furious, which reveals that Dom got Elena pregnant at some unspecified time in the past. The conception must have occurred in the beginning of Fast 6, because that's the last time Elena and Dom are together, and she must be pregnant in Furious 7, because there's no mention of the child whatsoever. So, Elena went from fugitive to agent in significantly less than nine months.
(#10) Leon Disappears From The Saga Without A Goodbye
Most of the actors from The Fast & The Furious stuck around for the rest of the saga. Dom, Letty, Brian, and Mia are in most of the films - and even Vince and Hector show up again in sequels. But there’s one character that the Fast Saga straight-up dropped, even though this series is all about family.
In the first film, we meet Leon, a member of Dom’s crew who’s a little crusty but overall a good dude. By the time the crew’s back together in Fast & Furious, Leon is nowhere to be seen and no one brings him up.
Actor Jeremy Strong, who played Leon, says that it makes perfect sense as to why he’s never seen again. In 2017, he told Entertainment Weekly:
If you watch the film and you understand the characters, it would be understandable that he would disappear and move on, just as he showed up... As the film progresses, towards the end, there’s a scene where Leon kind of voices his disapproval and he’s shut down by Dom, which showed at this point, Leon is doubting his leader and Dom is losing control... After that, Jesse is killed, Letty and Vince almost die, so I think it’s understood that Leon had had enough of that situation. The heat had become too risky...
That’s a great theory, but you’d think someone would have said, “Hey, where’s Leon?” at least once.
(#2) Dom Has A Brother Who Is A 'Master Thief, Assassin, And High Performance Driver'
The F9 trailer reveals that, throughout the entire saga, Toretto had a brother that no one knew about and who is apparently the toughest, smartest, best driver on the planet. Obviously, he’s played by John Cena.
This retcon completely changes the character of Dom. In the early films of the saga, the only other family member he has is his sister, Mia, whom Dom is incredibly protective of. When Dom lets down his guard and forms a relationship with Brian (Paul Walker), it’s as if he found the brother he never had. But now we have to go back and rethink all of those interactions.

About This Tool
Have you watched the movie "Fast and Furious"？I believe everyone will be impressed after watching this movie. The movie shows the image of American youth culture: galloping sports cars, desperate speed racing, agitating muscles, hot girls in tight skirts... all of these represent rebellious spirit and hedonism. The actors in the film have the physique of athletes, the faces of stars, and the arrogance of gang leaders, which makes you feel bright. If the film uses well-known celebrities, the effect may not be good enough to make people feel that they have broken into a cool, dangerous, and novel world.
This movie is very exaggerated, and in the end, it seems that everyone can understand that this movie is based on comics. If you want to know more about this movie, check out this random tool, which generates 10 items that roughly tell the story.
