10 Movie “Mistakes” That Were Put There Intentionally
5. The Coordinates (The Fate Of The Furious)
Shortly after The Fate Of The Furious starts, Vin Diesel grumbles a few lines to Charlize Theron and then the camera cuts to an overhead shot of a wooded area, complete with coordinates in the bottom-left corner.
But should you be (weirdly) curious enough to enter these coordinates into an online map service, you'll find that they don't actually correspond to a wooded area near a sports field. Did the filmmakers just mess this up?
No they certainly did not - because the coordinates will take you to the Universal Studios theme park in California, a business run by the same studio who distributes the Fast franchise.
It's clear the filmmakers entered these coordinates as a little easter egg for fans - unless of course this is a massive ploy to get people to attend the theme park, in which case... there has to be a simpler way to achieve that goal.
