All There in the Script: Bilkins' first name is Bob. Dom's father was a pipefitter at the Navy Yard, with Stock Car Circuit aspirations. Brian is from Simi, California and was raised by his uncle, both his parents are dead. His father was a police officer, who had an affair with the wife of his colleague Jack van Patton. Van Patton then ambushed Brian's father and shot him dead. Dom and Mia's father had chased off their mother, to the New York area. At the final race at the railroad tracks, Dom mentions that he has only lost one race in his life - his first, after which, his father beat him.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown
 The Fast and the Furious (2001) / int_25524784
comment
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Dom is prone to this. The film reveals how much of a "model of self-control" he is by showing pictures of a guy Toretto nearly beat to death with a three-quarter inch torque wrench in an act of personal revenge. Dom admits this to Brian himself without prompt, and it's heavily implied he harbors remorse for permanently disabling the guy.

Chest Insignia: One of the few examples of a car variant of this trope. Each member of Dom's street team has a unique livery depicting a flaming robot character on the doors of their personal cars. Dom's RX-7 has a flying robot with an armada of spaceships. Letty's 240SX features a robot knight jousting on a comet. Jesse's Jetta exhibits a robot knight jousting on a rocket. Vince's Maxima depicts a robot shark. Leon's Skyline showcases a robot knight wielding a great sword. Mia's Integra sports a winged robot angel. Brian's Supra brandishes a robot knight throwing a javelin.

Explosive Overclocking: Brian's use of nitrous in his Eclipse. Both Harry and Edwin point out that the amount he's using and his inexperience in racing means he's likely to destroy the engine. The first shot was enough to strain the engine but being desperate to win the race, he uses a second shot that briefly gets him in the lead but does kill the engine as predicted.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Dom drives import cars (the Madza RX-7 and the Honda Civic) for most of the film, but starts driving muscle cars as his vehicle/s of choice for the rest of the series. Justified as Dom was afraid of his dad's 1970 Dodge Charger, only getting over his fear when he had to use the car to go after Johnny Tran for killing Jesse. This film is a pretty straightforward, grounded, middle-budget crime drama that features high-octane street racing as its selling point. Compared the post-Tokyo Drift sequels, where the action got so progressively bigger and over-the-top that they became full-on blockbuster action/espionage movies with a few crazy car Chase Scenes to stay roughly on brand.

Undercover Cop Reveal: Brian reveals to Mia that he is a cop at the end of the movie. The viewer has known this all along but it allows some drama between Brian and the girl he has been sleeping with and eventually persuades her to help him track down the truck thieves. Several scenes later, it's repeated when O'Conner calls for police back-up and an ambulance after rescuing Vince. Dom, who had considered Brian his brother up to this point, has to seriously restrain himself from not beating the living shit of him. Instead, he takes off.

Book Ends: The truck heist in the climax reveals which characters did what during the truck heist in the opening scene. Dom drives in front of the truck. Vince fires the harpoon to break in the cab and knock out the driver. Leon and Jesse surround the truck, preventing it from moving. And Letty drives under the trailer bed to distract the driver. Before the second heist, Dom tells Letty that he had a dream where they were in Mexico. The post-credits scene reveals that Dom's dream did come true, just not in the way that he envisioned it. He arrives in Mexico as a fugitive.

Driven to Suicide: Quite literally in this film. After Brian blows his cover, forcing Dom's family to flee, and indirectly causing Jesse to die, Dom, now with nothing but the knowledge of his impending arrest, opts to kill himself by racing the quarter mile one last time, planning to get hit by a train that awaits him on the other side. It doesn't work, obviously.

He's a caring Team Dad, never goes into a carjacking with lethal firearms, and when he confesses having nearly beat a man to death you can just tell he's been regretting it every day of his life.

Instant Emergency Response: Immediately before the start of the first race, a guy listening on the police band says that all the cops in the area are responding to a call somewhere else, so it's safe to race. The race is a quarter-mile straight line drag race that literally lasts ten seconds. A couple minutes after the race is over, the same guy reports that the cops have been informed of the races, and all of a sudden patrol vehicles are everywhere, despite them starting out in another part of town and having only learned about the races within the past five minutes at most.

Conveniently Empty Roads: Invoked during the first street race, as it's shown that friends of the racers use their vehicles to block traffic from interfering. Every time the crew pulls off a semi-truck heist, as the roads are conveniently clear of traffic. They do have to drive through construction during the first heist, however.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Leon completely disappears after this film. Potentially justified; Mia explained in this film that while she, Dom, Vince, and Letty all grew up together, Leon and Jesse "just kinda showed up one night and never left", so he didn't have the same familial bond to the group that Vince and Letty did. It still doesn't explain why he's never even mentioned in later movies, though.

Took a Level in Badass: Dominic Toretto, already the most badass character in the movie, manages to take yet another level after Brian rescued Vince from the truck and revealed that he's a cop. Dom used to be primarily an import racer and scared of his father's supercharged 900hp Dodge Charger streetmachine. But when he sets out to find Jessie before Tran does, he has overcome his fear of the black Mopar brute (which is the only car available to him anyway) and changed into the American muscle aficionado of the sequels.

Bottomless Magazines: Johnny fires way more rounds than the submachine gun he's carrying can hold in a magazine during the final chase scene. Furthermore, he's doing so while riding a motorcycle, giving him no realistically-conceivable means of reloading. When they destroy Brian's Eclipse, each of their submachine guns fires like an anti-materiel machine gun, about 150-200 rounds of API ammo each. After so many rounds, any machine gun with one barrel would have gone white hot.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Refreshingly averted. This also doubles as an example of Shown Their Work: Jesse dropped out of school; 37 to 50% of afflicted adolescents never earn a high school diploma as they either drop out or are expelled for behavioral problems. People with true ADD often find an interest, subject, or hobby that "calms them down" or is able to hold their full and focused attention (such as Jesse's love of cars). They are also at higher risk for things like criminal activity, impaired driving ability, injury, social impairment, drug and nicotine abuse, and poor financial management... all of which Jess exhibits, out of the many possible other adverse effects of the disorder.

High-Speed Hijack: A series of these is central to the plot, which is why the LAPD sent Brian undercover. The very beginning of the movie was the target truck being loaded, followed by the heist - we don't know who or why yet, but a gang driving Civics with underglow use a grappling hook to get into and subdue the truck's driver. Towards the end, the Torettos are revealed to be behind the thefts when they try another, failing miserably thanks to a shotgun-toting target.

Artistic License – Chemistry: Brian's Eclipse is blown up when Johnny Tran and his gang shoot at it with their Micro Uzis, igniting the nitrous oxide leaking from the broken NOS system, and causing it to explode in a green fireball. There is two things wrong here: first of all, nitrous oxide doesn't burn green. Second, it doesn't burn at all, in fact, nitrous oxide's non-flammability is one of the reasons it's widely used in racing.

This film is a pretty straightforward, grounded, middle-budget crime drama that features high-octane street racing as its selling point. Compared the post-Tokyo Drift sequels, where the action got so progressively bigger and over-the-top that they became full-on blockbuster action/espionage movies with a few crazy car Chase Scenes to stay roughly on brand.

Brian reveals that he resigned from the LAPD, who let him go quietly, and that he wants another chance with her. When Mia tells him that it's not going to be that simple, Brian tells her that he's got time. This ending was released in the collection bundle DVD version.

Red Herring
 The Fast and the Furious (2001) / int_dbca2c99
comment
Red Herring: About halfway through the film, Hector is presented as a possible suspect behind the theft of the DVD players when he comes into the store Brian works at and orders parts for a few Honda Civics (the cars used to pull of the thefts). He's not, and it's later revealed that Dominic is behind the heists.

comment
Watch the Paint Job: Dominic's Dodge Charger (which was built by his late father and is revealed midway through the movie to be some sort of intimidating uber-car) getting completely pulverized by a semi truck in the movie's last drag race is the most remembered instance of this in the entire series.

Artistic License – Cars: When Brian blows the engine in his Eclipse, Dom points out that he and Jesse will have to take apart the engine block to fix the damage. Minutes later, Brian is driving at speed to escape the police even though it wouldn't be running or driveable after the race.

Bruiser with a Soft Center: Dom's Establishing Character Moment as this comes when Brian saves him from the police. Dom's just beaten Brian in a race and had no high opinion of him before the rescue, but afterwards he treats Brian with friendship and respect, showing just how important loyalty is to him.

 The Fast and the Furious (2001) / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: In the final race, Dom's Dodge Charger pops a wheelie - while also performing a burnout. Performing both at the same time isn't possible as both require the tires to be in different states of traction. A wheelie happens when the tires have enough grip that the engine's torque is redirected into the chassis while a burnout is when the tires do not have enough grip to handle the engine's power.

Evil Is Petty: Johnny and Dom have a deal to stay on each other's respective sides of town. Brian accidentally drives into it while trying to get away from the cops after the street race. At first he seems reasonable enough and leaves without incident. Then a moment later two of his goons come back and shoot up the car. Forcing them to walk.
