TORQUE is fast and the furious with motorbikes directed by Joseph Kahn famous for music videos he won a grammy for Eminem without me he's worked with everybody from Britney spears to snoop dog

[@jason42080]

when Tokyo Drift first came out the same feeling about it was not very loved but with time when folks got to 7 everything comes together in full circular motion towards Tokyo Drift, and they realized that Tokyo Drift is truly about someone/something else and that is where the love for this movie started to come around.

[@samufish]

Watch GoPro: streets of Japan. It gives a great insight into the racing scene in Japan. In 4k

[@juicebox1738]

My favorite fast n furious movie broke my heart that y'all didn't like it that much but yeah great reaction also it would be cool if you made another haunted house investigation video like last year for the spooky season💯

[@yodatwinkie]

This guy has the least funny commentary i have ever heard did anybody laugh at anything he said the WHOLE MOVIE?!

[@XXX_Carnage_XXX]

Fun Fact: In the scene where he is on the docks learning to drift, the fisherman in the blue jacket was the ACTUAL drift king in Tokyo

[@MiniSerloneBurger]

Oh wow, that is definitely a fun fact

[@batuchthebruh5165]

His story is very interesting, he basically invented drifting at the mountains. There was another older racer that did similar things which he pulled inspiration from but he definitely brought it further.

[@thefatmanbatman9822]

Lol you got to it before me, almost word for word😂

[@eclapsed]

He also did all the stunt driving and struggled drifting "badly" in scenes cause his bad drifting still looked good

[@Matty_Ice9]

beat me to the comment, it is Keiichi Tsuchiya.

[@Aziial]

Fun Fact: While filming Tokyo Drift, they couldn't get a permit to film a scene in Japan. They filmed it anyway, so the studio hired a fall guy who claimed to be the director and spent a night in jail. The majority of this movie is filmed in LA

[@joshuawright23]

And the craziest part is that it’s the scene where they drift through the crowded intersection in Shibuya! Some of that crowd were part of the film but some were really just Tokyo residents.

[@ravevolution]

Craig Lieberman, who was a technical designer for the first two F&F films made a video on his channel on this exact subject. Talking about how majority of Tokyo Drift was filmed in LA

[@cnemesis21]

I was looking for this comment!

The uncle is Sonny Chiba a legend in samurai/karata movies. He was also Hattori Hanso in Kill Bill. He made the sword for the Bride.

[@Ugnutz]

His son plays Zoro in the live action One Piece aswell

[@taylorgang2237]

People like this movie the most because it’s the most grounded. The racing and stunts are all realistic and doable. Sean is a fish out of water and his struggle to learn drifting compared to American drag racing is a foil to his struggles adjusting to the Japanese culture. It also helps that the cars are done more tastefully and don’t look as cringy as the cars in the first two movies.

@@joshhunt4146 not to the extent of the movie obviously! But there were of a lot of races back then and there was a “drift king” except all the mafia stuff and only cool dudes racing!

[@sangun123]

its a favorite because it's an homage to the actual midnight racing scene in japan, as opposed to the first 2 that are more so just crime thrillers with cool cars, like the whole japanese import scene was so big for the car culture worldwide in general

[@LennyCooley117]

The song of the final credits is just by pure nostalgia. It is one of the main themes of the best NFS game of the time. Additionally NFS Carbon came out shortly after this which was focused heavily on the drift scene.

[@USM-1610]

Fun Fact: Justin Lin the director of Fast 3-6 brought Han (and Sung Kang) from his movie Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) which features a young Han was retconed into being his origin story and is canon to F&F

I've also tried to erase F9 out of my memory. Good start is trying to forget it's also Justin Lin's movie.

People hated this movie when it came out but this was my favorite next to the first. I really love the overall theme of this one and of course they start going downhill after this.

[@bretthake7713]

I agree that people hated this movie then sentiment changed over the years but I have never ever heard anyone say they go downhill after 3... I really thought usually people put 5, 6, 7 as some of the best in the series

[@AlexMartinez-nj9io]

Tokyo Drift is on the worst Fast & Furious movies.

[@Saimeren]

For Fast and the Furious, you can watch them in release order if you want. The only one that's out of place, is this movie. And the only reason it's out of place is because they retconned some stuff later down the line. If you watch this one later, that's fine. If you watch it now, it's also fine. They'll explain later why it's out of order and catch you up with a flashback. It'll be explained later.

[@MathiasGreenwalde]

Pretty sure its explained in the next movie no? or is it #5?

[@Rolgi]

Release order is fine.

[@JohnSmith-wh2ob]

@@MathiasGreenwaldeexplained in post credit of 6

[@MonteBurns1234]

Watch in release order, this is extremely important to not ruin spoilers. This movie was great, and you can easily search why the main cast wasn't in there and why Vin was in the end scene, what he bargained for to get it.

[@WDFilms25]

This movie has retroactively become one of the most crucial moments in keeping the franchise going

[@marcgardner9865]

Real cars, real drivers, real drifting. Love this movie! My favorite of the franchise.

[@2droidz12]

I agree with the comments saying this is my favorite of the series. Chur boy Keiichi Tsuchiya the "Drift King" doing the actual driving is just *Chef's Kiss*

This is my favorite of the Fast franchise and always has been despite how much hate it got when it came out.

[@happymuffin2673]

This was always my favourite ! Its like an anime plot in a live action movie !

[@TBO3ntertainment]

This film is just an anchor for the franchise. You’ll see how Tokyo Drift mixes in to the rest of the films. Hans death is very important. You’ll understand the significance of this, when you watch the 6th and seventh. My favorite is fast five since the actress that plays Mia is Brazilian. Fast 5 is the best out of the fast franchise.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

This movie has a lot of racing than a gun fight.

[@mrdot1126]

one of the fisherman ( the guy in blue) despairing at Sean’s early attempts at drifting, is the real-life “Drift King” Keiichi Tsuchiya.

[@Fbcos221]

This is, indeed, my favorite one, and the only one I've watched alongside 2. So hilariously enough, when Vin Diesel showed up at the end, I thought the big deal was that it was a famous actor, and not a character from the first movie

[@Whitewingdevil]

I have a real soft spot for this movie, I enjoyed it a ton when I was younger, I used to have it play in the background while I was gaming, just to have the soundtrack in my ear. I don't know if I can call it my favourite FF movie, but only because I haven't seen the latest couple of movies, and I wasn't the biggest fan of the other FF movies I've seen anyway, I think this one being so different is what appealed it to me.

[@deathninja16]

the Culture in this movie is what shines for me.

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

At the time this was made a Anime called Initial D, which is the story of a young man becoming a drifting legend driving on the mountain tracks of Japan, was very popular. This anime and a Japanese video series called "Best Motoring" and its offshoot "Hot Version" featured so called "Touge", where they raced tuned cars on mountain courses, using drifting techniques. One of the main people featured on those videos is the real Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya, who popularized drifting during his racing career. He's also in this movie as the fisherman who is commenting on Bama boys drifting skills. KT was also a technical consultant both on Initial D and this movie. So after the first two movies tried to capitalize on the street racing scene, this movie basically did the same thing for the burgeoning drifting scene. Of course after this drifting became an even bigger phenomenon in the US.

[@movies798]

[@linkloudenback8359]

The actor that played the uncle is JJ Sony Chibi. He also played Hanzo the sword maker in Kill Bill.

[@Repz_VN]

This is most peoples favorite because of drifting itself. As other comments have said the figherman in blue at the docs was the OG real life drift king. Drift was invented and popularized in Japan with people drifting down Japans Touges. There is even an anime that got extremely popular after Keiichi Tsuchiya's (fisherman in blue) and is now a very watched sport. Honestly you guys are obviously not into cars, but as a car guy the scene where the girl is drifting with sean down the touge what she says it feels like is what I and i know all my car friends feel like when driving, free.

[@llxBUNKxll]

Jen as the Punisher would be peak cinema.

[@Mrmapleleaffan13]

Fun fact: the Tokyo drift song was produced by the Neptunes (Pharrell & Chad Hugo); Actress playing Sean’s love interest is Australian that’s why

[@Z3phyr97]

Fun fact: This movie was originally supposed to release direct-to-video because Universal had no faith in it. So to help with box office draw they begged Vin Diesel to come back for the end cameo, which he agreed to obviously, but only with the stipulation that he be made producer for all future F&F movies and gain the rights to the Riddick franchise. Also the director of this one, Justin Lin, would go on to direct all subsequent movies up until 6 and returning for 9

[@TALONOFRAZGRIZ]

If I remember correctly, for the Vin Diesel cameo, the only way he agreed to appear in Tokyo Drift was if the studio gave him full control of The Riddick Franchise he starred in. Something to that effect anyway.

[@Modality]

This movie was definitely more car/race focused which is part of the reason why me and many others think it’s the best. The stuff depicted in this film still happens in Japan today and very similar too as oppose to here in the states where street racing still happens but not as big as it was in the past. From here on out is the beginning stages of the ridiculousness. 😂

[@たいよりない先生]

You guys should definitely go to Japan. I live near Tokyo. One of the girls that's part of Han's garage group later became a big name actress in Japan. It's odd to see her so young in this movie.

Han was my favorite character. He was just so effortlessly cool. I had Jenn's same reaction to his car exploding!!

[@eXponentia]

This one is easily the most flawed of them all but still my favourite, I think it's just straight up because the aesthetic of drifting is the best form of driving.

[@futurekingjay]

I think Tokyo Drift is most people's fav (including mine) because it's the vibiest and more grounded of the series. It's just about street crime and racing. It'll eventually just turn into a ridiculous Mission Impossible superhero series.

[@JaeMinJung.]

I think the reason why Tokyo Drfit is some people's favorites is because it takes place between the 6th and 7th movie. You'll have to wait and see what happens in those movies in order to appreciate some aspects of the 3rd movie.

[@dannymartial7997]

For the first few movies, if you watched them during their releases, NO ONE was bothered by the cast change because a "main cast" wasn't established yet. So it makes sense that this is some people's favorites, because they didn't watch Tokyo Drift thinking "I wish the main cast was here", because there was no main cast at this point. Starting at the 4th movie is when the characters start to become constant. Btw, if you're surprised by all the F&F fans not being bothered by yall's reactions, it's because we, ourselves, do not take the movies seriously. So we're not offended if you goof on it. We do too, despite loving the franchise.

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]
