25 details you may have missed in 'Fast 9'

The movie opens with a flashback to the death of Jack Toretto in 1989, which was mentioned in the first movie during a conversation between Dom and Brian.

In 2001's "The Fast and the Furious," Dom told Brian that his dad was participating in the last race of the season when a driver named Kenny Linder clipped his dad's bumper during the final turn, sending his dad into the wall.

"I watched my dad burn to death," Dom said.

"F9" filled in many gaps regarding Jack's death and revealed new details about the part Jakob played in their father's accident.

When Letty flies off of a motorcycle in the jungle, Dom speeds his Charger up to break her fall on the roof of his car.

The moment feels very reminiscent of Dom diving across a bridge to catch and save Letty in "Fast 6" before they landed on the hood of a vehicle.

According to the film's production notes, the "real-world rivalry" between the Dodge Charger and Ford Mustang was supposed to mirror the tension between the Toretto brothers.

The color was always associated with Brian (Paul Walker), someone who became a brother to Dom throughout the franchise. Director Justin Lin told Insider he only ever considered the color blue for Jakob's car to highlight their brotherhood.

"We had to choose blue," Lin said because of the layers that the color meant for the character. "It's the exploration between the two and, hopefully, putting in the right amount of thought so that if you want to engage in that level and you see that [thinking], 'Oh, wow, there's a sense of replacement, but what does that really mean?' I think there was no other color than blue."

Stasiak first showed up as an FBI agent in 2009's "Fast and Furious." In the movie, Brian broke his nose.

He returned in "Fast and Furious 6" to help Brian get into a prison for 24 hours so he could gather intel about Arturo Braga. Brian broke Michael's nose again, that way he could get placed in a cell near Braga.

In "F9," the multiple breaks in Stasiak's nose are emphasized as he speaks with Dom and his crew.

This exact moment was alluded to in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious," when Dom recalled seeing Kenny Linder about a week after his dad's death.

"I had a wrench and I hit him. And I didn't intend to keep hitting him, but by the time I was done, I couldn't lift my arm."

In "Toyko Drift," Sean asks Han how he ended up in Japan. In response, Han says: "Well, you know those old Westerns, the cowboys make a run for the border? This is my Mexico."

When Letty and Mia finally discover Han in "F9," they spot a Mexico flag in a Tokyo window.

When Dom visits Buddy, he grabs a Corona and holds it by the neck of the bottle.

We've seen Dom do this time and time again. Why does he hold a Corona bottle like that? Nobody knows.

In part of the film, Dom races throughout the streets of Edinburgh in a sleek 1968 Charger.

A Universal Studios rep confirmed to Insider that over $1 million was spent to build the custom mid-engine Dodge Charger that "combines old and new technology."

The original crew was comprised of Dom, Letty, Mia, Vince, Jesse, and Leon.

Jesse was killed off in the first movie, while Leon was phased out and never returned in additional "Fast" installments. Meanwhile, Vince didn't reappear until "Fast Five," when his character was shot and killed during an ambush.

Dom seems surprised to see Queenie out of jail, saying, "Word on the street is you got locked up."

This was a reference to Queenie's status in 2019's "Hobbs & Shaw." In the film, Queenie jokingly asked Deckard about getting her a birthday cake containing the explosive known as C-4, which would help her break out.

Near the end of the movie, Deckard and his sister Hattie Shaw were seen visiting Queenie and leaving her a cake.

"F9" director Justin Lin recently confirmed to Insider that the ninth installment takes place after "Hobbs & Shaw."

This is a deep cut to the very beginning of the franchise.

Dom and his crew started out the Fast Saga stealing DVD players off trucks.

Mirren's character, Queenie, delightfully races through the streets of London with Dom in a purple Noble M600. That wasn't just for kicks.

The actress told Yahoo Movies in 2015 it's been on her bucket list for some time.

"I so want to be a mad driver in a 'Fast and Furious' movie," Mirren said at the time. "My claim to fame is I always do my own driving — I was on 'Top Gear,' and I did [my lap] in a very good time."

Queenie is the perfect person to give Dom some advice on warring siblings who haven't spoken in years.

She just helped her son (Deckard) and daughter (Hattie) patch up a years-long feud over a misunderstanding in 2019's "Hobbs & Shaw."

Queenie's words are one of many pieces of advice that Dom receives throughout the film to help him realize he needed to let the hate in his heart go and give Jakob a second chance.

Leysa has a short conversation with Dom in which she says "she'd still be stealing gas" in the Dominican Republic if it weren't for Dom. She also mentions having connections to Queenie.

When Leysa mentions the DR, fans will know she's referencing the beginning of 2009's fourth film in the franchise, "Fast & Furious," when Dom, Letty, Han, and others were stealing gas.

That's not by chance. Vin Diesel confirmed Leysa will be back in the next film.

"We are very much excited to evolve her character and to expand it to the finale," Diesel told Entertainment Tonight of Cardi's character.

On the commentary for "Hobbs & Shaw," director David Leitch said he wanted an all-female group built out of Eiza González's Margarita/Madame M. We could certainly see Leysa being a part of that group.

Fans have pointed out scenes of Han eating in "Fast & Furious" movies, but there's a good reason Han is always snacking.

It kind of became canon that Han snacked as a way to keep his fingers busy to help him break a smoking habit.

In a 2016 interview with Sung Kang and Justin Lin on the character's evolution, Entertainment Weekly noted that it was "an unscripted trait and replacement for cigarettes — something Universal leading characters don't do."

Earlier in the film, during a flashback, Leo and Santos ask Dom if magic tricks are real or an illusion.

Dom says, "Both," explaining that it depends on how you see it.

This moment doesn't help explain how Mr. Nobody's "magic trick" worked to save Han, but the scene from earlier in the movie, which you likely didn't read into too much upon a first watch, may help point out that it doesn't matter. You're probably not supposed to think about it too hard.

During a flashback sequence, Dom's father, Jack, speaks to his sons about the legacy of a man's family. Jack says, if you take care of and build your family right, then your family will live well beyond you. It will become immortal.

With the main "Fast" saga heading into its final two films, is this scene foreshadowing Dom's potential death by the franchise's end?

Is Dom going to sacrifice his life in the last movies a la Tony Stark in "Avengers: Endgame" to save the world and his family? Will Dom give some emotional speech about how he's never really gone because the Toretto family is immortal and will continue on with Jakob and his son, little Brian?

It certainly feels like that's where the "Fast" franchise could be heading now that we know the next film will be split into "Fast 10: Part I" and "Part 2." Even if Dom doesn't really bite the dust, we're prepared for a cliffhanger at the end of part one.

The moment was a nod to Brian handing Dom the keys to his Supra so he could flee before the police arrived to arrest him.

In "F9," Dom tells Jakob, "Someone once gave me a 10-second car as a second chance. I owe it to you, little brother."

When asked what it was like on set filming the emotional throwback, Cena told Insider, "That was incredible."

"To be invited in this, to be my first experience with the 'Fast' Family and to be given such an important and pivotal role, but to also recreate such an iconic moment, it was... I have goosebumps," he continued. "It was very, very special."

The gesture shows Jakob's transition from an enemy of the family to a Toretto as he's finally allowed to drive the vehicle that's become synonymous with his family's name.

The only other person we've seen drive a Charger in these films was Brian, in 2009's "Fast & Furious" and the start of 2011's "Fast Five." Brian, who Dom sees as a brother, drove the vehicle when he was saving Dom from going to jail at the movie's end.

Dom's house — which was destroyed by Deckard Shaw in "Furious 7" — is finally getting rebuilt at the end of "F9."

Though it isn't said, it's inferred that Dom and Letty may be moving back there with little Brian since the group was waiting for Brian to show up at the house at the film's end.

Letty and Elena met at the very end of "Fast 6" as Letty was still recovering from amnesia. Letty was thought to be dead and Elena and Dom started dating. Once Dom learned there was a chance that Letty was alive, Elena told Dom he had to go after her.

Elena was killed in 2017's "The Fate of the Furious" by one of Cipher's henchmen.

Roman mentioned being hungry back in "2 Fast 2 Furious" when he told antagonist Carter Verone, "Hey man, you got something to eat up in there? We hungry."

Then at the end of the movie, Roman and Brian reveal to each other that they pocketed some money from their mission. The film concluded with Roman laughing and saying, "We ain't hungry no more."

Converse sneakers were Brian's signature shoes at the start of the franchise, though he did eventually branch out to Vans later on.

The Nissan Skyline has always been associated with the character.

BBQs have been a staple of the franchise since the first movie, as a way to highlight the importance of family.

Dom's crew gathered to eat together at the Toretto house in the first movie. The tradition continued as the gang had a post-mission BBQ near the end of "Fast and Furious 6" and at the end of "The Fate of the Furious."

In the latest installment, Dom gives his son the honor of saying grace for the first time at the BBQ.
