The film was shot in several European countries and the United States, making it one of the most geographically expansive installments of the long-running franchise. Real streets and landmarks of Rome, Turin, and the Portuguese countryside were used in production, then combined with clever editing and CGI to create seamless action scenes as if they took place in a single city. Italy served as the main European filming hub: Turin doubled for Rome in many of the most spectacular chase scenes, while Portugal provided dramatic road tunnels and a massive hydroelectric plant for the climactic finale. For scenes in the US featuring Dom and his family, locations in California were used, including Los Angeles and Bakersfield. The film retains its signature blend of practical stunts and digital effects, with real locations enhanced by CGI for greater spectacle.

Filming Locations:

Dodger Stadium Parking Lot

In the Movie

The scene where Dom and his son Little B share a quiet moment at the beginning of the film, and this wide parking lot immediately sets the feeling of their closeness before the story quickly picks up pace. This ordinary father-son conversation here noticeably contrasts with the subsequent action.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, near the huge sports arena where the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team plays. The stadium sits on a hill in the Chavez Ravine neighborhood and is surrounded by one of the largest parking lots in the country, offering wide views of downtown. Over the decades, this location has been used for filming a variety of projects.

Fontana dell'Acqua Paola and Spanish Steps, Rome

In the Movie

The scene where the convoy moves around the monumental Fontana dell'Acqua Paola in Trastevere at the start of the Rome mission, and later the famous Spanish Steps become a long and spectacular platform where Dom and the rolling bomb cause massive damage. Of course, the cultural heritage remained intact—everything was done with CGI.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at several iconic locations in central Rome, which were used for wide shots and key action scenes. The Fontana dell'Acqua Paola is a monumental Baroque fountain on the Janiculum Hill in Trastevere, built in 1612. The Spanish Steps, constructed between 1723 and 1725, connect the Piazza di Spagna below with the Piazza Trinità dei Monti above and are considered one of the most visited places in Rome.

Toretto House — Angelino Heights

In the Movie

The scene where the Toretto family home is once again shown as the main gathering place for Dom's team. This modest house has long been a constant symbol of the franchise and represents family and loyalty—key themes of the entire saga.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the iconic Toretto family home at 722 East Kensington Road in the Angelino Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. This Victorian street has become almost a pilgrimage site for fans of the franchise, although locals have often complained about visitors who stage street races and behave noisily, inspired by the films.
