He also popped a wheelie on the street in the city with regular radial tires.

Vin Diesel pops wheelies in Mack trucks, going through the toll booths!

In one of those movies, don't they get a late 60s mustang and put a Nissan engine in it? I think it was the F&F Tokyo maybe.

Although the Nissan engine fit without any issues, it was not strong enough to drift the Mustang. The Mustang had a Shelby 500 engine for the drift scenes.

In Christine when Christine locks Dennis out or Leigh inside of her you see door buttons drop down to lock the doors, Chrysler cars of that generation did not have push down or pull up locks on the tops of the doors yet.

In Fast and Furious near the end when they are being chased by the drug cartels through the underground tunnels, when the Subaru STI wagon flips over coming out of the cave, there is no drivetrain/driveshaft/etc underneath the car and the underside is red while the body is white. I pointed this out when I was watching it in the theater and my friends thought I was watching the movie too hard, lol.

Also in the first Fast and the Furious in the opening scene with the Eclipse, if you listen to how many times he shifts, he has a special edition 12 speed transmission, haha. Another part is in that first race, his diamond plate floorboard falls out, but later Vin Diesel rides in the passenger seat without his feet dragging on the road.

Doesn't hit shift up like 7 times in the first race of the first movie with no downshifts? Not sure been a looooong time since I saw the first one

On "The Fall Guy" Howie rolled his red Chevy stepside pick up truck off a cliff and as it tumbled down it was replaced by a red 1978 Ford F150 stepside stunt double.

I don't blame them. I'd rather destroy a ford than a Chevy anyway. Lol.

Not to mention...why would the floor board fall out of a car just because nitrous was injected into the engine?

F&F Movies, nuff said! I can remember the old tv shows, The Fall Guy, A Team, Knight rider, etc. I remember noticing all the stunt double cars being wrecked, most of the time a totaly different car or even color, hahaha. Now I have to youtube me some old vids.
