Fast and Furiouuuuuus!!!! The love for this film is sort of split down the middle with the audience. Where do you land on it? By the way we are doing the release order. Please don't spoilt anything in the comments for the ladies on the chronology of the Fast Saga. (Yes apparently they're calling it The Fast Saga now) Micky and Suraj have not watched f9 yet so they will be having fresh reactions once we reach that ridiculous point.

The dock worker approving is the real drift king in real life
He actually is lol
Miroshi
is it true he did some stunts in the movie too?
@@K1ng_ib Yeah he was the one doing the actual drifting in the EVO. His real name is Keichi Tsuchiya
@@K1ng_ib He did the drift of the car that barely misses the wall in the beginning.
Idk why but this is my favorite of the Fast series, just has a certain charm about it compared to the other mega budget movies
It had memorable soundtracks, car stunts, cringy but memorable quotes and memes. What do the other movies have? Just "family"
It's because of the actual emphasis on racing culture in Japan. Like "Initial D" type vibes, up in the actual mountains drifting.
The best one is easily the fifth one
I always felt this one got underserved hate. I guess the huge point against it is a lack of interesting main characters, with the exception of Han. Out of all the movies, it really is the only one In the series about racing. Yes, the first two take place within the street race scene and has racing, but this movie legitimately banks on the main character learning a particular racing style, and culminates in an actual race with the antagonist. The first two were about solving a particular crime. While “Fast Five” is my overall favorite in the series, and I prefer the more action-oriented era of the later movies, “Tokyo Drift” is maybe my favorite of the original 3, and definitely is a soft spot for me haha.
@@enriquev1271 best and favorite aren’t mutually exclusive. Fifth one is the best movie but Tokyo Drift is my favorite in the series
12:37
The fisherman in the blue is Keiichi Tsuchiya. Known for being the real drift king of Japan.
thats so fucking cool
And the guy beside him is the creator of inital D
Han is everyone favourite's character
The man is too cool to not love
Han and Rome are like the 2 best characters of the franchise, yet they didn’t even exist in Part 1.
Has the baddest girlfriend too. Gal gadot mmmmmm
Yup Han, Rome and Giselle are fan favorite. They are my favorite character with Brian.
Hell no. I like Han but he's a snake. I like DK better than Han, DK was the best. Someone he treated as family has been stealing from him? Yeah fuck han, he should have died right there and then bc he caused the deaths on that day
If I'm not mistaken looking back, Tokyo Drift was totally just a spin off and it's own thing at the time. The fans liked it but REALLY wanted a sequel/continuation with the OG characters. That's how Fast and Furious and the rest of the franchise came to be after convincing them to come back. Tokyo Drift was THEN written into the story after the fact. The after credits in Tokyo Drift was just a nod I think.
That's what I remember. I think it was supposed to be an attempt to do better internationally. Overall though, it actually did worse than the other two movies. You have the return to the franchise after this and both markets just continue to rise afterwards. They made the right move going back to what was working.
the movie was made in a time period where drifint was making a name world wide was suposed to come afther one of the others why its faf tokyo drift and not a number as its set afther a few events in the timeline but made and released why erlier to make more money
You're right but they asked Vin Diesel to be at the end of the movie just in case the movie did Big worldwide once it did the asked Vin Diesel if you want to do more and he agreed to but he wanted to be producer of the movie as well. But you're right they did have to add on to the storyline of the movies that's why at the end of this movie Vin Diesel said Han used to roll with him . Once five and six came out I switched how I watched the movies , it's better to watch The fast and furious 2 fast 2 furious fast and furious fast five fast and furious 6 then Tokyo drift the movie seven and eight . So once you did episode 6 with the shaw character that's when they decided to older brother deckard be the guy that caused Hans crash to happen in Tokyo drift
Shorty said whoever wins the race “gets me” lmao i’d keep the car
Facts
Gets me”
Me:hmmm….I’d choose the car
Only a simp would risk his car for mediocre pussy.
@@szeltovivarsydroxan9944 well then I'm a simp 🤣🤷♂️. I ain't gonna lose so it's free puss
@@apomtaylor8054 you really are a simp
The movie mentioned in this video about Han is actually an even bigger deal. It’s a little indie crime movie called BETTER LUCK TOMORROW with an all Asian American cast with a yet to pop off John Cho. This movie was revolutionary for its representation of Asians. But what’s more fascinating is that Vin Diesel loved what Justin Lin did so much he deemed the film canon to the F&F universe. Several main characters from that film appear in F&F as a nod but as different characters. The skinny Asian guy in Han’s crew was one of the main characters and an Asian FBI agent in the fourth film was also a main character.
But if people really like Han I absolutely encourage everyone to watch the film because it 1000% informs his entire character. Han starts out in that film as an asshole and kind of like the “bad influence” among the friend group, but when shit hits the fan, Han turns out to be the only one with an actual moral conscience and you see how this traumatic event forever influences his character in future Fast films. It really informs the “you make choices and never look back” even more. Han doesn’t look back because he’s been running from something his whole life and that film tells you the full story. His iconic snacking in the films was also born from the fact that he is CONSTANT chain smoker in the indie film and quit after the events of the film.
Movie is seriously dope. Check it out!
This is a GREAT MOVIE...If Chris Nolan says he loves the movie, then you can see the quality of this film...Also, if you love this movie, watch the deleted scenes...That'll make you love this movie 3000!♥️
Christopher Nolan said he likes this movie??
The most race-focused movie in the franchise
first one was pretty heavily focused on racing as well
@@thenood9660 yes 1 and 3 are the best for car people no competition. The rest are trash as car movies
@@apomtaylor8054 they’re not car movies though and they don’t claim to be.
@@silence3314 I didn't say they were. I said they were trash for car enthusiasts
@@apomtaylor8054 as a car enthusiast I love every single one of them. And so do most other car enthusiasts I know
Fun fact: One of the dock workers is actually the real Drift King: Keiichi Tsuchiya
Reminder: The events of Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift take place right after "Fast and Furious 6".
Really? Where does it say that? I saw this move some years ago and I’ve been thinking about watching the Fast and Furious series in order
@@kaydollar2490 can confirm, it goes Fast and Furious 6 to Tokyo Drift, chronologically
Order goes like this:F1,F2, F4,F5,F6,F3,F7,F8,F9
Yeah and Japanese still have flip phones 😂
And that's what I watch The fast and the furious 2 fast and furious then fast and furious then fast five then fast six then Tokyo drift . So I make part 4 part 3 part 5 part 4 part 6 part 5 & Tokyo drift part 6
That mustang at the end couldn't really be called a "muscle car" in my opinion. It had the body of a mustang, but literally everything else would have been replaced with Japanese performance parts. And in the case of the engine, it actually shared the same motor as a Skyline, which is called an RB26. So the car was just as much a tuner as the one DK was driving.
So it's a boiled egg. White on the outside, yellow on the inside.
@@JohnYoo39 With the mustang body serving as the shell, yessir.
People call it a Nisstang. Nissan x Mustang.
No, it's a balloon!
@@JohnYoo39 that's actually a really clever joke lol
“Do you know how many KitKat flavors they got over there?” Perfect reason for wanting to travel
Why don't other countries get that?
best movie in the franchise, han is just an amazing character. his quote when he talks about life being simple and that if you make choices, you don't look back. perfect.
and for those who don t know han stolen the yakuza not for himself but for sean becaouse he knew that sean is falling in love with neela and that would bring him problems and tha money was a way to sean coulde make a deal with kamata...if wasn t that money sean probably would be killed...once more the idea of family was already on the table ahaha
You never turn your back on The Normies. By the way, that wasn't American muscle. The engine clearly said "Nissan" on it. (They swapped then engine from the wrecked car) The match was just a tad more evenly matched, although the Mustang frame/body would still be pretty heavy.
Fr he said American muscle I was bro they just took it out a Nissan
67 Mustangs aren't heavy at all and btw, that RB26 is an iron block so it'd be the same weight as the 351 Windsor V8 that came originally
They were talking abt just the body ig
Also still thinking Dom had a mustang in the first movie irks! Great stuff though. Love this movie
fun fact:
chronologically this movie is after a few of the movies that are still to come
we all know
It’s after like the 5 or 6 movie 💀💀 they should’ve looked at years
Wow, this movie had some epic shots, I really loved the camera work. In the final race when the camera pans to the trees and we see a wide shot of the race, that shit was dope. I want more shots like that
Justin Lin directed this one. His eye for action is most likely why they wanted him back for another one. He would end up directing F4 through F6, and most recently F9. He’ll be directing F10 & F11 as well.
Love this movie, big reason why NFS Carbon is in my top racing games list.
same, my favorite NFS game. the canyon races were so sick.
Man that game slapped
Bro and the customization on carbon was the best in the NFS games
I love that game still!! I always use the first bosses green car 😂 forgot what it was tho lol
Same. I watched Tokyo drift in the movies back in 04 while my parents were stationed in Japan. That’s when I fell in love with cars. Then NFS became my favorite games of all time
The best FaF movie so far, this is what FaF should be, not a World war
This movie was that ISH. I loved this movie.
I already grew up loving cars, but this movie made me fall in love with the JDM car scene. This movie made a lot of kids future car lovers
The guy fishing is a legend in car racing and he does most of the drift in the movie
yes that guy was missing fingers, its a sign that he is a member of the Yakuza, in the Yakuza when ever members make mistakes instead of killing them like in say the italian mafia. the Yakuza makes that member atone for their "SIN" by giving the tip of a finger. for every sin they cut off another tip. if you ever meet a elderly japanese man who is missing the tips of most of his fingers then there is a high likelyhood that said japanese man is either Yakuza or former Yakuza
Best one in the series by far, actually about cars like it should be. This one had such an impact on car culture
Facts. I remember hearing the Teriyaki Boyz song in the In N Out parking lot where all H.S. Car meetups were at.
6:21 The only reason I wanted to watch this when it came out was because Keiko Kitagawa was in it, she played Sailor Mars in the live action Sailor Moon series.
How does your comment say 2 months ago. The video is only 1 week ago?
@@samibichumani1176 Patreon supporter, you get early access.
Me when is saw F&F3 for the first time: Han is a very interesting character, i wonder why he looks so sad.
Me after F&F6: Oh...
The 2 fishermen at the docks are a huge reason why drifting is so popular. The guy in the hat is the creator of initial D and the guy in the blue is actually the real dk
The D in initial D doesn't stand for drift but instead for Dream. Just a heads up
Came here to say this.
@@decardtimmermans2753 Hmm, I thought it stood for Driver. You know "I'm a Driver with an initial D". But I guess dream also fits the storyline of Initial D.
Navi confirmed fake fan /S
@@kumanight normie fan lol but I'm glad bc in Naruto she's not a normie
@@jinthao00 yeah my guess is she probably didn't finish Initial D so she didn't know the real reason for the name lol
If Marketa can't handle these crashes, holy shit when she watches the next couple of movies.
Navi, Marketa, Cori, Suraj, and Micky are an amazing reaction team. No one talks over the other, they all have insightful or hilarious comments. Hope to see this group continue the rest of this ridiculous franchise and beyond.
Tokyo Drift was critically ridiculed when it came out, but I believe if they'd had a more fleshed out lead character (and more charismatic actor) it would have done amazing. The actual premise reminds me of those simple but strong plots from the 80's like Karate Kid, etc. I actually really enjoy this film and it landed Justin Lin his amazing stretch of directing F&F films.
And I''m with Suraj; Han (and his Mazda) were the coolest thing back in the day.
Probably the best pure driving of any of the F&F films.
Don't know if you noticed but the real life Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya made a cameo in this. He's the fisherman that says "You call this drifting?". Keiichi is one of the OG drift racers, making is hugely popular in the late 70s. Unlike most others who either were rich or had a motorsport background, Keiichi learned drifting by street racing. He's also known for his races on Mountain Pass Roads in Japan (Ones like the final race in this movie) He also did the driving stunts with DKs Car.
I love that even though this was a box office bomb by F&F standards and was critically derided, over time it has become more well received and even kind of like a cult classic (as much as any F&F ever could be). There have even been multiple "looking back on Tokyo Drift" type reviews that are super positive.
Easily my favourite movie in the series and always has been. Plus, that soundtrack is lit.
Forza Horizon cried after hearing Micky’s “No good racing game” comment…
Actually in Japan the police force have high horsepower jdm patrol cars to be able to chase cars and Initial D the D stands for dream so it’s initial dream but I love you guys keep it up!!!!
I agree with Navi with the Initial D Manga it's great and i also highly recommend reacting to the anime it's really good.
Anime is better
9:41 The guy that portrays "The Paw" is an actual sumo wrestler, his name is "Konishiki Yasokichi" , he's retired for a long time now...
The drift scenes in the crowded intersection are definitely CGI enhanced. You cannot close off a street in Japan for a movie shooting. There's actually a gigantic parking lot you can rent, specifially made for car scenes in Japan, where they built the intersection, and the background and a lot of the crowd was CGI.
@Normies Fun Fact: One of the fishing guys at the dock when he was learning to drift was the real life DK
19:57 Girls: *gasp* Oh nooo!! Boys: *poker face* LOL
About the guy missing fingers: If you fuck up in Yakuza it's kind of a tradition to cut one of your fingers in front of your boss as kind of a penance / apology. They start cutting from their little finger inwards because your 2 last fingers are most associated with control/finesse/precision when maneuvering a katana (it's an oooold tradition).
And you're basically marked forever and considered a huge dishonor
This is the best! My fav movie of the franchise!
It’s crazy how important this movie is to the franchise
I know. Even in F9 they're showing new storylines that were happening with Han in Tokyo during the events of Tokyo Drift.
I had no idea Better Luck Tomorrow was in the same universe as Tokyo Drift. That's awesome lol
Man great movie
@@r1985d TRULY
Approval from the specific dock worker…. IS EVERYTHING!!!
You guys at end were too funny! Loved it!
This was brilliantly funny!! Love you guys!!😅🤣😂😉🥰😍😎👌👍
The highest indicator of improvement in a skill is Japanese fisherman grinning at each other
oh yes my favorite in the franchise! 😀 I used to run this movie several times over one summer just as background noise while I went to sleep. Window cracked, fan on low, it was perfect....good times
This is this one of the best F&F movies!....Eventhough they used an AWD Car Mitsubishi Lancer EVO which is used for Rally Car but the producers decided to use it for Drifting...LoL
Drifting is mainly for RWD Cars and they should used a S-Chassis (S13, S14 or S15) as the trainer car instead of an EVO..lol
The Old Japanese dudes at the Fishing Dock are the Pioneers of Drifting etc..... So many "cheesy" things like the scene of the group of cars supposedly drifting through the mountains and there is no Tire Smoke or Tire Squealing and the main girl driving her drifting didn't seem like she drifting at all ...Aww man great stuff!...
In the final race the Mustang does have a Skyline Engine called the RB Series which is a Straight 6cyl.....vs. a 350Z that came stock w/ a V6 Engine called the VQ...They never said what engine the 350Z had I don't think..
Loving how chill this batch of Normies are, commentaries are on-point too
The Calm & Collected sounds like an excellent skit 🤣🤣🤣 Please make it happen.
This one grew up on me now might be the Best one.
2:04 just to let you know - baseball and football are in different seasons so he could play both sports and have a baseball in his car.
I enjoy their after movie talks, hilarious
The next three movies will kinda clear up the whole dom knowing han thing
Fun Fact: This was Natalie Kelley first movie in her life.
RIP Han.
Sadly, this isn't Science Fiction or he could come back from the dead.
The calm and the collected KILLED me xD
I have seriously enjoyed this journey so far with you guys watching this franchise, I love this saga I just seen the 9th movie at the imax theater last night in Florida! It was such a great experience. Some of the best action sequences I've ever seen and the character development in this one was put together very well but the story has extended to many places, in my opinion it's the most DIFFERENT film out of the entire franchise, very different feel to this one.
Vin Diesel actually only did the ending cameo in Tokyo Drift Bc the studio offered him creative rights over the Riddick properties. He had actually turned down appearing in XXX 2, and 2F2F so that way he could film Chronicles of Riddick, and later used his ownership of the rights to create the 3rd installment, Riddick. (The Riddick Trilogy are pretty significant box office failures, but have pretty large cult followings, and Riddick is often considered Vin’s best character)
Basically the reason for them making a sequel without any of the main characters coming back from the two previous movies was that this wasn't really intended as a sequel as such. This was meant to be a spin-off, a stand-alone movie that takes place in the same universe, but only really connected to the main movies through Dom's cameo appearance. F&F wasn't really a franchise yet at this point, just a movie that had received one previous sequel. They didn't have any plans to turn it into a huge franchise at this time either, so for all intents and purposes the story from the first two films/Brian's story was done. This was meant to just be a last little fun romp in the F&F universe, completely separate from anything else, but then later movies retconned it into being part of the main storyline.
Uncle Kamata is played by none other than acting legend Sonny Chiba.
14:45 The dock worker that approved of Sean's drifting.... It's an Easter Egg... That dock worker is actually the REAL Drift King of Japan in real life
As soon as the girl on the far left mentioned Initial D I instantly fell in love LOL
There is literally a Need For Speed Canyon where you have to race the bosses of each region down the canyon. And the way it works feels just like the ending, because you have to race twice. Once chasing them, the second time running from them.
And you can go off the edge and die in it!
The best fast and furious in my opinion!!
ok while reading the subtitles i reconized that the americans dont give a shit, there are normal subtitles but in this moment when it is needed for example somebody speaking japanese it just says *speaking japanese*
Dam she really said DK's 350z was the coolest car dam , but by JDM standards Han's rx7 with the veilside kit was the coolest car , sadly we didnt see the other 2 out of the 3 holy grails (supra and r34 gtr) but i guess sean's evo ix was dope
DK's car was a 350z
What is "JDM Standards"?
Suraj repping German police while watching a FF movie is kinda funny.
timestamp?
@@Year-Zero-BC his shirt has Polizei (police) on it
@@mcfrag2787 oh! thank you.
Man I loved this movie, this the best FF movie. I remember watching it in high-school.
Probably been mentioned many of times, but the person who basically invented drifting, and the *actual* Drift King was the dock worker -- and he also did most of the drifting and stunts in the movie. :)
the real drift king disgust face the one with glasses in head 12:39
Keiichi Tsuchiya~
Initial "D" means = Dream 12:54
I read somewhere that Vin Diesel didn't get paid for this. He only wanted them to put the "Bandolero" song on his scene. And they did.
And btw, Tokyo Drift came out in 2006, and Fast and Furious came out in 2009. So there was only a 3 year gap between them, not 7.
Tokyo Drift is highly underrated!! Lucas Black is such an underrated actor!!
Finally, the anime one!
That dock worker is the real life drift king
The dock worker who approves of the drifting is not only the drift king in real life (as mentioned by another comment) but is also the main inspiration behind Initial D.
12:38
Fun fact: (I forgot who lol) one of those guys is the actual drift king in real life
Guy in the blue jacket
14:46 That Blue Jacket Dock worker is the Real life Drift King of the Tokyo,
who did an cameo in this one
When Fast Five came out I saw it with my dad… he got a speeding ticket on the way home 😂
“I want to go drift right now” Cori stop him! 🤣
These first three movies brought more to the import car scene than almost anything. Although it was already really big, all the cars in the first films were all normal people brought to use for all the big racing scenes. I know someone who had a car in the first film, a fully kitted yellow EG civic with yellow interior, in the late 90s! lol
The Mustang car in the final race isn't 100% American muscle, only the body and chassis, the engine, suspension etc are Japanese taken from the wrecked blue car from the first drift race.
the dockworker/fishing guy is called "Drift king" in real life. Tsuchiya Keiichi. He used to do illegal races in the mountains and later became a racing driver.
The older Yakuza guy is Sonny Chiba who is a legend in Japanese movies like Hanzo, which was a long movie series, as well as played Hitori Hanzo in Kill Bill. And tattoos are frowned upon in Japan because of their connection with the Yakuza. Yakuza depending on your status get full body tattoos.
She sent me when she said Is that low budget Paul walker🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I forgot Uncle Kamata was Shin'ichi (Sonny) Chiba, loved him in Kill Bill
"Initial D" actually stands for initial dream lol, thats the twist
Time to get drifty! I like this one and I think it's enjoying a nice re-evaluation; it's still got a small charm to it while knowing it's kind of ridiculous. And this is the movie that introduced Han, the Shikamaru of the series, just effortlessly cool!
Even when it was originally released, I thought it kinda unnecessarily got a bum rap. With how insane the franchise has gotten, it is nice to go back to this one. For me, Fast Five is my favorite, and I love the more action-oriented soap-opera it’s become…. however, I totally have a soft spot for Tokyo Drift, and like it the best out of the racing-centric first 3.
It's so good and all the ops are awesome
Fun fact: He is meant to be 17
But he was actually 24 when they filmed this movie...So...😅
@@vivekshekhar6687 He’s just old-looking in general. I mean, we have a 24 year old Tom Holland still playing a high-school aged Peter Parker. It’s not uncommon. But it helps of the actor actually LOOKS the part lol
Micky: the rolling car shot in the beginning was most likely done simply by rotating a normal shot on a green/blue screen and adding in "floating" objects with CG.
Literally the only car movie in the series
The dock worker with the blue jacket is the guy who invented drifting and touge racing.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. Was dominating Formula D, for a while in a Mustang. American Muscle is fairly good for drifting.
*NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED was one of the greatest and best selling and best consumer rated game in the world🤔💯💯💯🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔*
Bro this series is too good
I want to see Mick's idea for the skit SO DAMN BAD! Please make it!
One of the most underrated films for what it is
