Over 100 cars were destroyed or wrecked during the filming of this movie.
The drifting in the movie was performed by professional drivers. As reported in a recent Sport Compact Car, Rhys Millen, his father Rod, and a handful of other famous rally and drift racers consistently performed drift sequences for the movie.
Toyo donated 4,000 tires for the movie. Roughly half were used. Rays Engineering donated its 170 Volk Racing wheels as well.
