How Accurate Was Tokyo Drift | Fast and Furious

Today I break down one of the most well known movies in the Fast and Furious franchise from a cultural and performance viewpoint. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a 2006 action film directed by Justin Lin, with a screenplay by Chris Morgan. It is a stand alone sequel for 2 Fast 2 Furious and the third installment in the Fast & Furious franchise.

This one of my favorite F&F movies!...I even had the Teriyaki Boys song in my wedding played!....Hahaha

[@ioriOki]

That's beautiful. The first will always be my favorite.

[@Ls60ett_s30]

Lmfao when you said DQ I cried laughing 😂

[@ioriOki]

I didn't realize till I started editing lol

[@ioriOki]

Japanese style. lol

[@DominicGuitarist]

+1 for the Mazdaspeed sign on the billboard! Great review overall and it was funny seeing your reactions and input on this movie. 😄

[@ioriOki]

Glad you enjoyed it! also thank you for subscribing!

[@aldocaceros9649]

You answered most of the questions I always had about how accurate the movie was! Thanks

[@ioriOki]

Once you visit Japan, you will understand more :)

The Star of this film Lucas Black is a Family Member...i remember when we found out back in December of 1994 he was getting ready to film in a Masterpiece called "Sling Blade" to move up to the F&F Francise films and NCIS New Orleans Series talk about a wild and crazy journey

[@ioriOki]

I loved him in sling blade, but this movie just didn't fit for him in my opinion.

[@jflexys5114]

Your English is actually really good, especially for not being born here. I understood every word!

[@ioriOki]

You have NO IDEA how much that means to me! Thank you so much.

[@jflexys5114]

@iori Oki How long have you been here in the States if you don't mind me asking? It was nice seeing a Japan local react to one of my favorite movies growing up. I used to be obsessed with the Fast and Furious franchise, Need for Speed, car culture and all that. I'm trying to get back into it.

[@DiabloDeezy]

Very respectful of you to not bring up Yakuza practices on the night hill drifting scene. Btw your English is impressive I’m respect to how long you’ve been in the states, how are you so fluent in it?

[@ioriOki]

It is not my place to speak on Yakuza, but yes, in my school we start learning English in Elementary school, and I just kept practicing instead of giving up

[@Ls60ett_s30]

Good work though, happy to see you getting comfortable now

[@ioriOki]

Thank you! I think I'm finally loosened up

[@marcuswynn89]

Watch the fist movie, when they picked up their "over night shipment" there is a ND Miata bumper on the truck

[@ioriOki]

Yes! DJ noticed that haha

[@hersonsegovia2373]

If I remember right the parking lot drift scene was in an abandoned mall in Los Angeles. And Chris Forsberg really drifted it to see if it could be done or something like that. 😂

[@ioriOki]

Fun fact I didn't know about!

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Thank you for this video.. So spot on in so many ways!

[@ioriOki]

Hope this video was helpful to many people!

[@djthewafflehouseconnoisseu9403]

Imagine, a movie about an underground Japanese Subculture starring a bunch of Americans and Koreans! This movie had the potential to be the best one of the series, but instead they made this..

[@ioriOki]

I just wish Hollywood used more Japanese actors!

[@Level_Up_Nation]

Watched, laughed and learned new things. 🙇

[@ioriOki]

Good, that's always my goal! Education!

[@marcuswynn89]

16:49 that scene is actually lower grand in los angeles

[@ioriOki]

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info :)

[@singingwolf3929]

1. Great Reaction. 2.I have no idea why this doesn't have more likes. 3. Lucas is actually from Alabama and that's his natural accent (More or less) 4. In general, I think the cast did an OK job. I just think the writing was kinda off. I saw what they were trying to do. I appreciated it. It definitely could have been done better. 5. While it may be slower in many instances, I definitely prefer the SOUND of an old school carbureted engine. (Also, side note. They took the engine out of the "Mona Lisa" and stuck it in Dad's old Mustang. Not sure if that would actually work but if it DID then Japanese parts for a Japanese engine would be relatively available. No Idea where they got the money though.) 6. Suspension work, for a drift car, was definitely lacking. They focused more on the engine (Just like they do in every FF movie)

[@SWAGGER1634]

Haha “drifting isn’t the fastest way around a corner.” Takumi: am I a joke to you?

[@ioriOki]

Its fact though. lol

[@nicenslomo6]

Nice reactions enjoyed this vid! Volume seemed kinda low maybe use mic next time?

[@ioriOki]

Noted! Thanks for the feedback, I'll improve that on my next video!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

It's a shame they moved from awesome movies from these Tokyo Drift series to the full action movies they are now. Love tuning cars and this Toyko movie was a refreshing and totally new ! Did like your commentary on this 👌 give a new look on this movie 😄

[@ioriOki]

I agree and I definitely want to do it again with better audio equipment.

[@TommyApex]

Such a great vlog, Really enjoyed seeing your reactions!

[@ioriOki]

Thanks! Hope I didn't offend anybody haha

Loved the review, good take from an actual person from over there.. Little tidbit for you on the movie, in the beginning of the movie that is based in AZ where Sean is at school.. But that School does not exist(Oro Valley, AZ suburb of Tucson, AZ).. P.S. I'm down for a Cruise in Phx, AZ if you find one or know of ppl going.. I've watched every F&F in theater's since the beginning >:D

[@ioriOki]

That's a fun fact haha Thank you Seth! I'll let you know if I decided to have a cruise :)

[@TheBongReyes]

The whole tattoo at the spa thing is extremely REAL!!! I was vacationing with some friends years ago. We had booked a weekend at an onsen-hotel. The owner had specifically told us that we can use the spa only after midnight. Why midnight? The owner said since no one will be in the spa after midnight so that’s when we’re allowed to use it. 😂

[@ioriOki]

Yeah, it's not accepted in our culture yet, but soon.

@@ioriOki a sequence featuring a group of racers drifting through the cross-section. Getting a film permit is difficult in Tokyo, especially when it comes to foreigners. Lin had been outspoken about this fact, but he took the risk and went through with filming without the appropriate permission. The decision resulted in an arrest but the studio, Universal Pictures, was prepared for the situation.

What always was strikingly funny about this movie is the fact that the main actor supposedly play a school"boy" in his late teens yet the actor is so adult that he is literally show early signs of baldness onset.

[@ioriOki]

I agree! And the strong Southern accent is funny to me too!

[@singingwolf3929]

I mean, I've known people who start to go bald, or even grey, in their teens and early 20's.
