## Trivia

### General

* Brian's surname "O'Conner" suggests Irish ancestry.
* There are amount of birth date errors regarding to Brian:
	+ In *The Fast and the Furious*, his driver's license shows his birthday as July 4, 1977. However, the date on his license was likely one given to Brian Earl Spilner, his undercover identity.
	+ In *2 Fast 2 Furious*, his birth date is shown as August 29th, 1973. However, once more, it is the birth date given to his undercover identity. It is unknown as to why his undercover identity's birth date changed from July 1977 to August 1973. Incidentally, Paul Walker, who portrays Brian O'Conner, was born in 1973.
	+ In *Fast Five*, when Luke Hobbs is pulling up Brian's file, his birth date is listed as July 14, 1978. Considering the that the other two birth dates shown in the series were for Brian Earl Spilner, July 14, 1978 is likely to be Brian O'Conner's actual date of birth. Also, the DSS file shows Dominic's birthday as August 29th, the same birth date given to Brian in *2 Fast 2 Furious*.

### Tekken X Hazbin Hotel

* Like the *F9* director Justin Lin, creator of *Tekken X Hazbin Hotel* FBIRancher7590 also confirmed Brian is involved in this crossover to look for a respectful way to show Brian's presence.
	+ In fact, like the 2019 *World War Z* video game, where he added Judd, Oksana, and Tatsuo, he added Brian along with Dom as *Fast & Furious* is one of his personal favorite movie series, with exception of *Fast X*.
		- Despite of *Fast X* being his least favorite, he will also add Aimes, who made his first physical appearance in the movie.
	+ He added Brian as FBIRancher7590's tribute to the late Paul Walker, who is his second personal favorite celebrity, following Bruce Lee as one of his favorite.
* Brian's actor Paul Walker was also the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. However despite of this, there are more fighting styles Brian also uses, such as the advanced Kickboxing and especially the Krav Maga where the FBI agents also use.
