Tokyo Drift might’ve had a lot of BS but it’s the only F&F movie that is purely about racing.

[@djmj1000]

In the parts after i was disappointed how little racing there was left. They only added the ocassionally quarter mile as a "must", else they became generic action movies.

[@justincredible9302]

Completely agree. The original and TD are my two favorites.

[@tinystar3010]

I think the opening "mistake" is debatable. The police didn't sentence him to go to a location in the world highly known for street racing, it was Sean's mother who sent him off to live with his dad in hopes he could correct him because she was giving up. She probably knew nothing of Japan or its racing scene, and otherwise may have decided against said action. The police wouldn't have known that either as she was the one who decided to send him off. So the opening decision there played out very accurately. Otherwise everything else in the video I 100% agree with as mistakes.

[@Art-lm4ik]

Always thought this, why would the police send him to japan😂

[@blueberry3130]

Yeh I watched the movie so many times

[@yobrethren]

I can't see how people would think that police sent Sean out of the country, when it isn't even stated in the movie. Hell, isn't exile or whatever THIS is literally impossible to do in USA? You can't fuckin send a person into other CONTINENT if he's just a recidivistic maniac driver or whatever Sean is in the movie, y'all ridiculous if you think Police sent Sean out of the country. THOUGH, i don't know how can you escape from a country when you're supposed to face some kind of charge (even if you're juvenile), and be left untouched, which is it's own thing (AND it's a plot hole!), so here's that. Except that, i enjoyed Tokyo Drift, as Craig said it's by far the most accurate and not-ridiculous movie of Fast Franchise

[@MetalGamer666]

I also think that unlikely character motivations and characters making poor choices are NOT always movie errors. The girl offering her to the winner may be a very unethical thing to do, but worse things have happened in the real world. The same with Han letting him borrow his car. Sure, his character motivation might seem odd, but he was a rich criminal that got an American indebted to him. Also not a movie error.

[@nunyabusiness896]

Yeah, I always interpreted it as a plea bargain to go live with his military (i.e. disciplined) father to "get him on the straight and narrow". I've personally known people that got in trouble (attempted robbery of store that he worked at) and in place of jail they agreed to have him sign up and serve in the military for like 2 years or something, though this was the store owners offering this, not the court, but I could see the court allowing for a similar situation. Furthermore, I don't really agree that Japan is the "capital of street racing". While the games were absolutely everywhere in the 90's in Japan implying every street corner had a high stakes race, the reality is in the late 90's and early 00's Japan had a major crackdown on street racing and it barely exists today at all. Most of the people you see at car meets are foreigners that are living there teaching English or something and watched too much Initial D. It might've sort of been around by the time the movie took place, but nowhere near like the mid-90's when the Midnight Club, etc were still around and overall Japanese people were far less the obedient drones they often are today (and yes, I've been to Japan, I'm not just making shit up).

Well if we go in the chronological order of the movie Han is still alive after the Fast Five Heist, He moves to Tokyo and has heaps of cash. He even goes to say “I have money. It's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. And one car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of, that's a price I can live with.” So it’s understandable that he let Sean drive his car to drift

[@warmongerairsoft]

I always thought the gf “offering herself up” made sense if you looked at it like this: she’s super waspy and artificial. She feels nothing for Clay as a person: he’s just a status symbol. And Sean challenging him the way he does makes her think that Sean’s above clay, but he wouldn’t be popular enough for her unless he won the race. I also think part of it is just the fun of manipulating people. I mean she tells clay “make it interesting” and “I thought you loved me” when they’re losing. There are definitely women like this out there. But maybe I’m giving the film too much credit idk

[@nunyabusiness896]

[@barron204]

The movie was shifted from 3 to 6 in the timeline order. It also nearly finished the franchise as street racing was in decline in the mid 00s and the total earnings were the lowest of the movies. Han died at the end only to be resurrected later on after being killed by Statham. The main characters can whisper while drifting in a touge. A person who has never drifted before can learn very quickly to become the best in Tokyo. The main character avoided any kind of legal action in the USA by simply being sent to Japan, then avoids any kind of legal consequences for his actions while residing there also. So many errors but it is still my favourite (yes is crappy) movie in the franchise. Check out Screen Rant pitch meetings on the franchise.

[@nunyabusiness896]

The marketing was the problem IMO. They axed all of the characters from the first two movies and showcased fucking Bowwow in all of the trailers and everyone was like "what the hell is this shit?" and didn't bother. Back then, if you saw a movie will all different characters, you knew it was a low-budget cash-in film, or at least thought it was. Bowwow wasn't even that bad in the movie, but I would've never guessed that from the trailer. Then when everyone eventually saw it on TV or DVD all of the car people came to know it as the best of the series and the only one 100% truly about racing, but it was too late and the accountants that only see profit margins decided Mission Impossible with ex-street racer characters was the new direction.

I agree. Just like the EVO having an APR PERFORMANCE bodykit and livery… (APR PERFORMANCE is an American tuning company) It was also silly to use an EVO in a movie that is about DRIFTING… The EVO or any kind of AWD car is not known to be the number one choice for drifting! This was all a marketing deal with Mitsubishi Motors and APR PERFORMANCE (an US American tuning company). Sean’s car in the first race against D.K should have been a S13 Silvia. Then later on he would get Han’s S15 Silvia. Would have made more sense to be honest.

Hey Craig, what about the scene when the Monte Carlo was flipped and you can clearly see a basic 350 Chevy rather than the big block in the previous scene. Aswell as the Viper changing states of damage while colliding with the Monte Carlo. Aswell as many other continuity errors such as Han not even needing to steal money as he has millions in is possession, not to mention the possibility that he inherited Giseles share. Also the fact that Han was literally being crushed by the roof of the car and in no way could of escaped. The two 350Z in the chase have two different engine tones for what should be an identical sounding car. And finally if they were following the laws of physics, you can’t have a baseball make a hole in a window and not go through the window, (when Clyde throws the ball at Sean). The baseball is scene having bounced off on to the ground, with the previous scene showing glass flying everywhere and also showing a hole. You can’t have both, either the object has enough force to break through the window, not make a hole and suddenly bounce away from it.

[@GHOST-im3xh]

[@Papa7Bravo]

Craig, remember that in formula drift there is a corolla being used... you know, them FWD econoboxes, and also a Lamborghini murcielago was made into a drift car, can't remember the owners name, but it doesn't matter, you remember when you said yourself that the S15 would've been modified to run the rb, you can use the same reasoning as to why the evo is red except this actually happened.

[@AdamMGTF]

Corolla isn't used anymore. It was a stopgap until the jza90 was released. Diago saito has a Lamborghini I believe. He's probably the most famous driver in drifting (not the best. But the most famous). I don't think it's used much in competitive drifting. I just remember it being a big deal a few years ago. R35s are common at top level. Ironically more common than post R34 skylines 😂 but I think it's more a presige thing. They are very big and don't transition well. Team orange used Mitsubishi cars back in the day. Maybe still do. Not top level mind. I've seen Subaru's in drifting. Especially when they were still available for a few hundred quid. But to work at a competitive level they needed all the Subaru throwing away. RB swap isn't on the same level really. Simple bolt in swap to a s-body. Works the other way as well. My r33 skyline runs an SR20... Most top level cars now use JZ or v8s of some kind. But again. That's a rwd setup in a rwd car. Using a 4wd shell just isn't worth it or competitive

[@AdamMGTF]

Oh, and the Corolla was basically a space frame totally custom vehicle. With a 1000hp 4cyclinder race engine. It was a hell of a bit of engineering. But it could have started life as a pedal powered go kart for all the difference it made. It wasn't a Corolla anymore. Very cool engineering. But not really comparative to anything else in drifting

@@crisnmaryfam7344 please read my comment and the context in which it was written. I was NOT refering to an ae86. I was referring to the corrola which was built by papadakis racing. As a side note. The internet is full of negativity. I do try to avoid being a part of that (I remember the world before the web fondly). With this in mind. I suggest that you don't assault someone out of hand, assuming you are superior and therefore do so in a derogatory fashion. As a further note. Here in the UK, ae86s have disappeared from drifting with a few rare exceptions. The last eight-six I saw being commatative at a nation level was run by Brian Egan in 2014 if I remember rightly. Possibly earlier. He added forced induction to the f20c he was running but then swapped to a R32, the 32 was a much cheaper car and much more competitive. Though I do miss his driving style in the Corolla.
