The stunts in TD really dont break the laws of physics like they did in Fast 1 and 2, Fast 1 had the Green Eclipse explode by being shot up by street-legal bullets and nitrous, # ...

Obviously, most of the movie was shot in Tokyo. It was needed because the moviemakers wanted to capture the flavor of the city and be a hit in that nation. However, due to logistics, a few of the “Tokyo” scenes were shot in California. A couple of times, if you look closely, the cars boast California markers and plates. When Sean takes a subway, it...
When Han showed up in Fast Five, viewers were naturally confused as to how he could be alive. After all, his car crash was a key part of the third movie. This led to the theory that the films were now ignoring Tokyo Drift. But then the ending of Fast 6 revealed that Han had been bumped off by Deckard. Which means that the other four F&F movies happ...
This is really the most annoying part of the film. The entire plot revolves around the idea that “drifting” is an awesome move that enhances a car’s speed and adds tension to the races. The reality is that drifting doesn’t do much when racing on a track. It actually slowsa car down and does little to control cornering. In fact, it’s pretty easy to ...
The F&Fproducers may be experts at car knowledge (maybe). However, they needed someone to give them lessons on military rankings. Sean’s father, Boswell, is a Navy officer who often threatens his son with military school. He is called “Major” by everyone. The problem is that the Navy doesn’t have the rank of Major in its fleet. The equivalent would...
Having Vin Diesel show up in a cameo was a nice surprise for the film. Having famously turned down the first sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Diesel popping up as Dom for a race was a fun sight in 2006. However, the events of Furious 7 have made the cameo more confusing. In Tokyo Drift, Dom is there for a race and tells Sean, “I’ve got all the time in the...
One of the bigger annoyances of the F&F movies is how easily the characters find so many wide open spaces to use for racing. It’s one thing to find such streets in New York or London or Miami. But Tokyo is something else. This is one of the most famously congested cities on the planet where traffic is a constant. Due to its tight squeezing, the roa...
The entire plot of the film revolves around Sean getting into serious trouble with his racing joyrides. It’s mentioned he has a long record thanks to street racing and that his only choice is juvenile detention or moving to Japan with his father. California may be weird with some laws but there’s simply no way they would let someone with a known po...
This is a bit of a minor quibble but still has to be an annoyance. The very first scene of the movie has Sean attending high school (while of course looking so much older) and the students are being walked through metal detectors. That’s not odd and it’s a common sight in inner city schools, especially in California. The confusing part is that the ...
There’s a movie industry trope that says “reality is unrealistic.” This pertains to how people are so used to things from the movies that they can’t accept the reality is different. Many a car buff can attest to how engines almost never sound the way they do in movies, especially the F&F ones. Tokyo Driftis a great example. In the scene where Han a...
During the final race, a pack of teenagers are seen recording video on their phones. That’s a sight all too common today and would make sense. However, it doesn’t make sense given the technology of the time. In 2006, streaming video was nowhere near today’s standards. Videos would skip and take an hour to properly load and buffer and online streami...
Why is Tokyo Drift not appreciated enough. Most people regard TD as one of the least best from the franchise. In my opinion, I would rank it above Fast 4 and 6-9. It has the racing concept that the franchise has lost. The best thing about the movie is it explores Japan's racing world, where is considered as the pinnacle of street racing.
Tokyo Drift is absolutely the outsider, and arguably the worst, of the franchise. Harsh, but its bad rap stems from some very legitimate reasons: 1) It was a box-office dud that made the least of ...

Apr 12, 2017 · The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift embodies all of these elements, but it made the mistake of being too ahead of its time; we ridiculed it then not because it was “bad,” per se, but because ...

Out of all the F&F movies, Tokyo Drift is the purist racing film. This right here. Tokyo Drift focused on the cars and racing, all the other films were just heist films with a racing premise. And as the movies has progressed, the racing premise has gone out the window.
