(#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."

(#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?

(#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.

(#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.

(#5) Cipher Was Pulling The Strings Of Jakande, Owen Shaw, And Possibly Even Braga All Along
This is classic Fast and the Furious timeline shenanigans. In a Machiavellian twist, the events of Fate of the Furious reveal that the villainous hacker Cipher has been overseeing the events of the previous two movies through her connection with Shaw.
Not only was Cipher pulling the strings of Owen Shaw and Mose Jakande, but she probably had something to do with Braga as well.
This kind of retcon is purely done to give the character extra menace, which is fine but weird. Why can’t she just be a baddie who lives in a plane that never touches the ground?

(#9) Brian Becomes An FBI Agent After He’s A Wanted Criminal
In The Fast & The Furious, Brian O’Connor is a cop who infiltrates an underground drag racing ring and makes fast friends with Dom Toretto. After Brian lets Toretto escape at the end of the movie, he finds himself on the wrong side of the law. Somehow.
The second film follows Brian through the underworld of Miami as he’s turned into a police informant rather than being sent to jail. That all checks out. The next time we see Brian, in Fast & Furious, he’s a full-fledged member of the FBI.
It makes sense why he’d be in the FBI for narrative reasons, but how does this kind of employment arc even work? And how does one get on the fast track to being an FBI agent after going on the lam?

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.
