Gal Gadot originally reprised her role as Gisele and had filmed her scenes where Gisele takes Letty to the hospital after Letty was injured from her car explosion caused by Fenix from Fast and Furious (2009), but her scenes were cut.

Immediately before the building-jump sequence at the Etihad Towers penthouse, Brian describes to Dom the real-life car that they are getting into, in detail: a 3.4 million dollar Lykan HyperSport, only seven of which have been made (not including the stunt cars used for filming). Once they get into the car, however, Brian is represented with CGI, because the latter part of the scene was filmed after Paul Walker's death.

The guard rail that the heroes stand near overlooking Los Angeles is the same road/parking lot that Brian initially tests his Eclipse from the first movie.

Justin Lin did not return to direct this movie. As the studio wanted to produce Furious 7 (2015) on an accelerated schedule for release in summer 2014, Lin would have had to begin pre-production on this film while performing post-production on Fast & Furious 6 (2013), which he considered would affect the quality of the final product.

Before this movie was released, Vin Diesel announced that there will be three more movies after this one.
