Keichi Tsuchiya (IRL DK) did a lot of stunt drifting in this movie. Especially when Shawn was driving in the mountains that was him in the car, they had to tell him to mess up his drifts on purpose because he was picture perfect drifting every corner.
Yellow car is a JZX100 Toyota Chaser made 1996-2001. That's the lead car in the japanese made "drift movie" released in 2022 called "Alive Hoon" (RUclips search BTS of it), as well as still being a forefront runner in Formula D Japan and D1GP. You cannot mention Japanese and drifting without also mentioning JZX100. There just is no way. They actually picked the deep end of the culture and it shone through in full brilliance in those 2 seconds of its appearance. Most drifting moves done in that movie are not fake (search abandoned mall drift on yt). That's why it's the best fnf movie of the lot.
For the true cultured drift fan, the appearance of a jzx100 and a S15 was enough to make the whole thing as authentic as they'd come, for something that Hollywood pooped out.
The guy in blue's name is Keiichi Tsuchiya and yes he is the real DK. He is also the one drifting the Evo in that scene. Fun fact: He was drifting so well in the Evo that the Director told him to make the drifts look bad for Sean's "learning to drift scene"
7:53 a cameo of an AE86, which is also staple to the japanese drift culture in 2006. It was also appropriate for that scene since that's what Han bet against DK. It could very well be DK's "86 Corolla" that the current race is wagering on. That said, an AE86 in Japan would never be called a Corolla. It would be a hachiroku, whichever language they were speaking in.
@@Kyush4 yes, but not all levin wants to be called by its model roots name, the Corolla. Just like no one really says "check out that panda Sprinter bro it's so sick"
No just no ppl the A denotes the use of the A series engine. E designates the Corolla. 8 designates the fifth gen and the 6 designates the variant. Also there are like two body styles Levin being fixed headlights and the pop up headlights is the Trueno Then there is the SR5, GT-V and the GT-S trims.
Tanner Foust did a lot of the driving in the movie as well; he won the Formula D drift championship in 2007 and 2008 in a 350Z. He's also a well-renowned rally (and its variants) driver. Can remember reading a comment saying that he nailed the 350Z drift on the ramp first take.
3:10 He rev matched, clutch kicked then braked mid corner. This is very typical for most drifters in low speed areas, it's habbit naturally developed when drifting sharp Touge or very close corners like parking lots and autcorss.
10:30 for that scene I think morimoto was actually dead from the crash. So DK was more or less "sad, but there is nothing I can do, and I must avenge him by chasing down these guys"
When I first saw the movie I thought DK was holding back a smile like "well, sucks to suck man" but when I go back I realize that no, he was actually pretty pissed/upset but knew Morimoto was dead so instead he was then out for blood. Cause at the end of the day he's not a real "villain" he's more or less just a young adult playing gangster and piggy backing off his uncle and his involvement with the mafia. He's still young and has attachments to people and cares about them unlike someone like a die hard villain or some one like that. He's not evil just not a good person morally
My favorite track from the entire F&F franchise gotta be Race Wars (Night Rave) played when Brian found out Dom and his crew were heading out for the final score. Really catchy and euphoric trance track. Accurately captures the feel of the Y2K rave scene.
10:06 when a car is set up for drifting, it's really difficult to get it to go fast in a straight line. The producers found that out when they took the rb26 mustang to the drag strip. It did a burnout halfway down the track cuz the tires had almost no grip.
@@TheRacingJoker it was definitely faster than the V8 ones, and it’s the only one I would want to own if I had to drive an old school Mustang with a purist destroying engine swap
his name is Keichi Tsuchiya, he basically is the one who brought drifting from the touges onto the streets & tracks. he's also a founding member of D1GP
@@THEREINVENTION_ i think that was Kunimitsu Takahashi, him and Tsuchiya raced together numerous times, most notably in Group A in the early 90s with the Taisan 32, JGTC, Le Mans. He's overall very influential on Tsuchiya, in the 70s when Takahashi was running the first GTR, he was known for sliding it through corners, not full on drifting but that's where tsuchiya got the inspo from when he ran touges and Group A in the 80s
“I don’t even know if I’m gonna get copyrighted for this music, if there’s no ads that’s probably why” -plays an ad right after 😂 that shit had me dying low key. Been watchin ur vids lately and enjoying em.
Mona Lisa apparently didn't have a hydraulic handbrake, it still had a regular one, so Twink wasn't wrong. And yeah back in the day it wouldn't have been too common on drift cars yet. They usually went with an extension piece to get the angle closer to the wheel and/or installing a "Drift button" which would lock the handbrake open so it wouldn't lock closed on the ratchet. iirc they literally pop the spring out of the handle and it just becomes a toggle with a piece of metal.
Rhys Millen drove that 350z up the spiral parking garage multiple times. Him and tanner foust did some of the best stunt driving in any movie. Rhys Millen also was the driver of the general Lee in the modern dukes of hazard remake.
6:28 from what I've heard and what they teach like at the tracks in my area, you start by doing controlled donuts on the skidpad, and then you move on to and "8" track, then you move on to a small circuit with tight and wide left and right corners and learn to link them. and yeah, just lots of seat time
Or you just kick off your high heels 👠 grow a pair and power over!jokes aside I learnt on the streets car parks but don’t learn in anything you care about that’s a hard bitter lesson to learn 😖
1:24 i've never drifted a car in my life so don't quote me on it, but little to nobody had hydraulic ebrakes back then (if they even existed). 5:37 yeah, as everyone else in this comment section said he's the real "dk". he pretty much is the reason why drifting is as we know it today, as he's the one that popularized it in the 80s. 8:22 believe it or not, this is actually a real thing (i'm not too sure about the cutting class part) if you watch old videos from the early-mid 90s during the hakone blast, mainly at nanamagari, you can see (mostly) schoolgirls watching them drive. also, my favorite track from the franchise is probably deep enough from the first movie. i'm not too big on the guy rapping, but the guitar motif and main chorus is really good
Favourite song was always speed of light by BT in the first movie (aka Doms story pt2) and it plays during the street takeover scene before the first race. It’s one of the few songs I’ll actually listen to on it’s own, it’s just peak 2000s electronic. The touge duel music from Tokyo drift is a close second
There's so many pieces to pick from, but excluding Night Rave I really like 2f2f pink slip race's, 2f2f audition race's and ff4 audition race's in that order unless I'm forgetting some masterpiece I looked over. Enter the Eclipse when Brian drove the eclipse for the first time on screen also slaps.
Fav Song gotta be the scene from 2f2f where brian tries to reach to the race with the R34 while act a fool bangs in the background. Don't know why but the scene, the engine noise and the build up combined with the song just hits the right spots for me.
everyone's talking about Keichi Tsuchiya but Tanner Faust and Rhys Millen helped with the stunt driving too. 7:37 a lot of shots look fake because the movie was filmed in California and background footage of japan had to be edited in to make the shot work.
I love most of the songs (composed or licensed) in the first 4 movies. So many bops like Act A Fool, Furious, Six Days, Peel Off, Dominic’s Story, Race Wars, Cho Large, Tej’s Race Of Four, Mustang Nismo, POV City Anthem, Superstar etc.
Neela Drifts. It's peaceful, soothing and good for soul searching. I play it from time to time while driving at night. My home area actually looks like carbon canyon from nfs and the mountain when Neela and Sean are drifting. I usually listen to that song when I'm on those roads.
I think my 3 most favourite music scores from the movies is the Opening Theme for The Fast And The Furious (1), Landtrain from Fast 4, and Symphonic Touge from Tokyo Drift. Having rewatched the Gasoline Truck Heist from Fast 4 recently numerous times, even seeing Fast 4 in theatres when it came out, Landtrain really gives a sense of panic and adrenaline once the song ramps up.
The guy on the right in the blue shirt is the dude who invented modern drifting, he also did all of the driving stunts for Shawn so if you see a red evo going sideways it was blue shirt dude
Tokyo Drift had the best musical score, Downtown Chase and Symphonic Touge. Composed by Brian Tyler who also did the score for NFS The Run and the F1 theme.
All the way back in the first F&F after Brian spins out at dodger stadium, the soundtrack playing while the scene transitions to him driving his f150 to the Torreto diner is mint.
My favourite track is the one where Han and Sean are on top of the high rise building and then Han says some stuff about “I got money, it’s trust and character I need around me”, that piece of music is pure art Closely followed by the “Neela drifts” track
He learned to drift in an AE86 or Hachiroku/8-6 (The black and white car Han won from DK, seen during the Morimoto race) which was very dificult to drift in. He later made the manga Initial D, where the MC learns to drift by delivering tofu through the mountain in his dad's AE86 or as we Americans call it, 86 Corolla. The MC then uses the tuned up but unassuming delivery car to smoke every famous tuner for the next 20 years down the mountain. This manga/anime was kinda the inspiration for this film, and Keichi, nicknamed Drift King did all of the stunt drift work, hence why it looks too perfect. He only had trouble with Sean's failed and flawed drift attempts because they still look too good.
I gotta say Tokio Drift is the best F&F movie for me, has the best portrait of racing of all the movies . And the song and in extent the scene itself is by the Teriyaki Boyz when they initially enter the car meet. There is something special just the song and the scene itself are both meant for each other
My favourite piece from the original scores for the films has gotta be Saucin which plays during the drifting montage in this movie or fourth floor by BT which plays on a few seperate occasions in the first movie like the Supra vs Bike chase
Favourite score from the F&F franchise as a whole has to be "Life Ain't A Game" from The Fast And The Furious when Brian first gets the Supra and begins working at the Toretto Garage. There's something about that song that just resonates with me.
@@TheRacingJoker yeah? xD I can see how it is tho lol, I heard it first as a kid and it just wired to my brain as one of my most nostalgic and loved themes of all time :D
that yellow car at the beginning is a Toyota Chaser JZX100, basically a Lexus sedan; and my favourite song is either Neela Drifts from this one or Danza Kuduro from fast five
Back then root drift not needing hydraulic e-brake...tweaked factory e-brake is all u got... But also because casual drift dont need e-brake mainly...its weight transfer drift, power over, clutch kick...e-brake drift is just to bail out/drift angle correction beyond steering angle capability or corner entry overspeed...
Night Rave/Race Wars by BT is easily my favorite. Between that and his song Kimosabe in Need For Speed Underground, I got into BT at a real young age and still am a tremendous fan of his work! Hes's a master composer and has made some of the best trance music this century. Awesome that you pointed that out Joker!!
I love these videos, keep it up! My favourite music from the entire FF franchise is probably: The Fast and the Furious (OG) - Intro titles, Deep Enough, Debonaire; Tokyo Drift - Six Days, Mustang Nismo; I think the music went to shit when they decided to go Top 40 shitty rap and replaced BT.
My favourite song in the series is You’ll be Under My Wheels by The Prodigy. It plays at the very end of Tokyo Drift when Sean and Dom are revving before they race.
I watched tandem drifting in Japan '03-'06, I don't remember them having hydraulic brake levers like we have today. I couldn't understand what they were saying because it was in Japanese...
Keichi Tsuchiya still runs touge events and has a youtube channel, Drift King Television. To see him drive a car is to see a dancer perform a ballet, absolutely breathtaking.
9:50 I think my favourite song in this movie or quite possibly the franchise is a song that only plays for about a minute, it’s called: This is my New Mexico. It plays at the end of the movie when Sean is waiting for DK to arrive for the final race, it gives off this feeling/vibe of the old Fast movies and I just could tell myself that I’m in Sean’s shoes. Nostalgia is a big word, but I think it’s appropriate. Great movie.
Always thought it was funny how you can clearly see people checking on the occupants of the silver car that t-bones Han at the end, when it's shown it was just Shaw being a madman later in the franchise, also anything by BT in the first movie, gives me that secret early 2000's underground racing league vibe, and the Deep Enough song idk what's its called
favorite piece of ost in the franchise? BT - Rave Wars. It plays during the race wars night, when Dom, Letty, Leon and Vince are going to hi-jack a truck once again. Brian tells Mia that he is a cop and Dom and his crew is in danger. There are around 20-30 seconds of this soft piano playing over energetic club music. Its beautiful.
Yellow car is a Toyota Chaser, I believe. Ironic due to its position in that run. I was a huge fan of the first two films, my dad built mud trucks and my grandmother still has her 69 Stingray with a 427. I loved cars as a kid, but I didn't know what drifting was. My favorite car is still the Monte Carlo in this movie. Edit: Rhys Millen or Tanner Foust (can't remember) actually drifted up the spiral, no issues. Completely practical stunt.
Drift Cars are also typically super easy to slide so you only find yourself using the Side Brake for keeping Control rather than Initiation. It's all in the suspension setup.
Seat IS key. Ofcourse having a bit of natural/technical understanding of how a car works and responds to load changes goes a long way, but most of all it's seat time. If you wanna get into drifting, I think the way Eugene Hertrech got into it is pretty good; - Initiate and maintain small donuts - Progress to doing bigger donuts at higher speeds - Try doing the same donuts in opposite directions - Link the two directions by transitioning, making figure 8's - Get comfy initiating and transitioning - You're now drifting. That's the basic motions. Now you can try what techniques will work best in different situations, ie do you e-brake initiate or clutch-kick, left foot brake, etc. edit: don't need much space either, just a small pad somewhere is enough :)
I tried drifting in Assetto Corsa once. I wanted to start out with clutch kicking, but I can't even hold a drift! Funny thing is, I can drift a drift kart decently tho. An actual car? I have no idea, yet.
As for the favorite song bit, all of Brian Transeau's work in the first movie is gold. Really sets the mood for 90's California. Nocturnal Transmission.
Keiichi Tsuchiya is the original Drift King. He used techniques honed in the underground drift scene in professional circuit racing. The first time he drifted to overtake in a pro race, they suspended his license. But the fans loved it. And he's not just a guy in it for the fun; dude is a real driver. The man won multiple Le Mans and has raced just about everything imaginable.
My favorite Faf soundtrack is Brian Transau's one which was used twice in thr first movies.The first time was when Brian was testing his eclipse and the second one is when he is chasing Tran and his cousin in The Supra.
My favorite track from the Fast and furious franchise is "Notorious Alert' (Jake Alert)" for it plays in the background in F&F3 during one of the club scenes.
On the topic of getting better, you nailed it. Seat time, Seat time, Seat time. If you're new to drifting, just go to an event. Watch and talk to the drivers and event organizers on safety requirements and upcoming events. Get a RWD manual car, weld the diff, go to the track and drive. Other parts will be added as you need and improve. If you've got a good drift organization and community, which most are awesome, they'll give you advice and tips on how to improve and setup the car better. In the past few years Sim-Racing has really improved. Play Assetto Corsa with a mid-quality Logitech or Thrustmaster FFB wheel and a VR headset. The PC and sim setup may cost the price of a beater drift car, but for under $2000, one can get all-year-round drift practice. Get a few hundred hours of sim time and the muscle memory will kick in on the first real track day.
Hang on. When Keiichi spoke, the subtitles said "You call that drifting?", but he actually said something about countersteering? Does anyone here know what he actually said?
"the countersteer's a bit slow isnt it?" or "countersteering late dont you think?" something along those lines cause "osoi" generally means slow or late and "dayo na" is roughly "dont you think?". not sure tho 🤷♂
My favourite pieces of music from FF movies would be Fast And Furious by Brian Tyler, that was used in the scene where Brian and Dom were preparing their cars for that audition race and then it would be probably Fourth Floor by BT from the first movie.
Favorite song in this film: Los Bandaleros (when Dom rolls up) Fast 4: Letty's theme (the quiet, somber guitar with the heavier guitar in the background)
Favourite score is fast and the furious 1, when Brian gets discovered and vince is being taken away In the helicopter. That whole score in that scene was so beautiful
@The Racing Joker , the yellow car is a Toyota JZX100 Chaser. The Mona Lisa crashes into an R32 Skyline(or that's what the headlights made me think). The favorite piece of audio from the entire franchise is @BT 's Nocturnal Transmission. Also, I liked the first movies score, music and pacing!
Keichi Tsuchiya (IRL DK) did a lot of stunt drifting in this movie. Especially when Shawn was driving in the mountains that was him in the car, they had to tell him to mess up his drifts on purpose because he was picture perfect drifting every corner.
Keichi just built diff
Bro just too goated, they had to scold him sometimes because he wasnt messing up good enough
keiichi just too good wcyd
A lotta peeps who stunt drive tend to be told to mess up more. Its funny to me.
Keichi is called the DK for a reason haha

I gotta say Lucas Black acting during driving and drift scenes especially with his tongue out is quite realistic.
Hydros are new tech, back then they had drift buttons, which would default to not catching when ripped, you pull out the button to park

The MC then uses the tuned up but unassuming delivery car to smoke every famous tuner for the next 20 years down the mountain. This manga/anime was kinda the inspiration for this film, and Keichi, nicknamed Drift King did all of the stunt drift work, hence why it looks too perfect. He only had trouble with Sean's failed and flawed drift attempts because they still look too good.
My favorite song of the franchise is the one played at the end of this movie, "You'll Be Under My Wheels" by The Prodigy.
E brake works well on S13s/14s/15s, no need for hydro
I always wondered why when Sean crashed the first time he didn’t just slow down and just take the rest of the turns the regular way
Stubborn pride probably as usual
Bro wanted to drift like DK but failed miserably fr
I gotta say Tokio Drift is the best F&F movie for me, has the best portrait of racing of all the movies . And the song and in extent the scene itself is by the Teriyaki Boyz when they initially enter the car meet. There is something special just the song and the scene itself are both meant for each other
Drifting can be faster through really tight hairpins. It's also a good way of denying your opponent space to pass.
Then why don't time attack cars drift every hairpin? Spinning ain't winning
not drifting but utilizing slip angle
@@ryurc3033 Go watch some rally, they slide really tight turns.
@@ryurc3033 race tracks aren't built as narrow as parking lots or tight roads.
My favourite piece from the original scores for the films has gotta be Saucin which plays during the drifting montage in this movie or fourth floor by BT which plays on a few seperate occasions in the first movie like the Supra vs Bike chase
Favourite score from the F&F franchise as a whole has to be "Life Ain't A Game" from The Fast And The Furious when Brian first gets the Supra and begins working at the Toretto Garage. There's something about that song that just resonates with me.
HECK YEAH
@@TheRacingJoker also whenever that song comes on when I drive, it's a habitual urge to gun the engine
Brian’s intro in 2f2f with act a fool is probably my favorite, that’s the scene that made me fall in love with skylines
The theme that plays at race wars when it's night time in the fast and the furious. I think it's just called "Race Wars/Night Rave" that's my favorite
Holy cow! This seems to be almost everyone’s favourite!
@@TheRacingJoker yeah? xD I can see how it is tho lol, I heard it first as a kid and it just wired to my brain as one of my most nostalgic and loved themes of all time :D
"Bandoleros” is a BANGERRR🔥🔥 ( end of tokyo drift, when dom shows up) is my favorite time
that yellow car at the beginning is a Toyota Chaser JZX100, basically a Lexus sedan; and my favourite song is either Neela Drifts from this one or Danza Kuduro from fast five
Its basically not, what are you talking about no Chaser, Cresta, Cressida or Crown ever had a Lexus rebadge or based on anything Lexus.
Back then root drift not needing hydraulic e-brake...tweaked factory e-brake is all u got...
But also because casual drift dont need e-brake mainly...its weight transfer drift, power over, clutch kick...e-brake drift is just to bail out/drift angle correction beyond steering angle capability or corner entry overspeed...
Night Rave/Race Wars by BT is easily my favorite. Between that and his song Kimosabe in Need For Speed Underground, I got into BT at a real young age and still am a tremendous fan of his work! Hes's a master composer and has made some of the best trance music this century. Awesome that you pointed that out Joker!!
Tao Of The Machine? That song goes HARD🔥
favorite song is oye by pitbull from 2 fast when they reveal the cars
I love these videos, keep it up! My favourite music from the entire FF franchise is probably:
The Fast and the Furious (OG) - Intro titles, Deep Enough, Debonaire;
Tokyo Drift - Six Days, Mustang Nismo;
I think the music went to shit when they decided to go Top 40 shitty rap and replaced BT.
5:12 successfully turning a diamond into a crap can
One thing that this movie did really well was depict the culture shock that Sean was feeling
True!
My favourite song in the series is You’ll be Under My Wheels by The Prodigy. It plays at the very end of Tokyo Drift when Sean and Dom are revving before they race.
Tanner Foust did the parking garage drifting for dk.
He did drift up the final ramp
Hydraulic e brakes weren't really around until the early-mid 2010's iirc
fav song from any f&f is where sean and dk race for the first time, especially where dk looks back at sean XD
I watched tandem drifting in Japan '03-'06, I don't remember them having hydraulic brake levers like we have today. I couldn't understand what they were saying because it was in Japanese...
Hydraulic Handbrakes aren't popular at that time, they use other techniques aside from using their e-brakes to get their car sideways.
Keichi Tsuchiya still runs touge events and has a youtube channel, Drift King Television. To see him drive a car is to see a dancer perform a ballet, absolutely breathtaking.
I only remember the car park music from this movie.
Also totally realistic that people can have a whisper conversation while drifting./s.
Dang it I didn’t bring that up
9:50 I think my favourite song in this movie or quite possibly the franchise is a song that only plays for about a minute, it’s called: This is my New Mexico. It plays at the end of the movie when Sean is waiting for DK to arrive for the final race, it gives off this feeling/vibe of the old Fast movies and I just could tell myself that I’m in Sean’s shoes. Nostalgia is a big word, but I think it’s appropriate. Great movie.
Always thought it was funny how you can clearly see people checking on the occupants of the silver car that t-bones Han at the end, when it's shown it was just Shaw being a madman later in the franchise, also anything by BT in the first movie, gives me that secret early 2000's underground racing league vibe, and the Deep Enough song idk what's its called
Deep Enough (Remix) by LIVE
😂🤣 Right after you said “if there’s no ads then it probably copyright”, I got an ad!
Man I gotta get this on camera lol
Favorite score is easily the somber music right when Vince gets put into the helicopter at the end of Fast 1.
favorite piece of ost in the franchise? BT - Rave Wars. It plays during the race wars night, when Dom, Letty, Leon and Vince are going to hi-jack a truck once again. Brian tells Mia that he is a cop and Dom and his crew is in danger. There are around 20-30 seconds of this soft piano playing over energetic club music. Its beautiful.
You can picture the scene in your head when you hear it
Yellow car is a Toyota Chaser, I believe. Ironic due to its position in that run. I was a huge fan of the first two films, my dad built mud trucks and my grandmother still has her 69 Stingray with a 427. I loved cars as a kid, but I didn't know what drifting was. My favorite car is still the Monte Carlo in this movie.
Edit: Rhys Millen or Tanner Foust (can't remember) actually drifted up the spiral, no issues. Completely practical stunt.
Pretty smooth slide! Having that kind of car control is the dream
@@TheRacingJoker
I'm not big on the whole drifting scene. Yes, the Mustang is a decently cool build, but damn that Monte sends a shiver up my spine.
@8:28
I think closing the gates was just a direction. The little guy probably prevented a shooting. Risk payed off.
@8:56
EVERYTIME I see that seen where he gets hit by the Evo, I think "You fought the car, and the, the car won."
Best Score for me is in the Race Wars from FnF 1, when Brian tells he is a cop
Drift Cars are also typically super easy to slide so you only find yourself using the Side Brake for keeping Control rather than Initiation. It's all in the suspension setup.
Seat IS key. Ofcourse having a bit of natural/technical understanding of how a car works and responds to load changes goes a long way, but most of all it's seat time. If you wanna get into drifting, I think the way Eugene Hertrech got into it is pretty good;
- Initiate and maintain small donuts
- Progress to doing bigger donuts at higher speeds
- Try doing the same donuts in opposite directions
- Link the two directions by transitioning, making figure 8's
- Get comfy initiating and transitioning
- You're now drifting.
That's the basic motions. Now you can try what techniques will work best in different situations, ie do you e-brake initiate or clutch-kick, left foot brake, etc.
edit: don't need much space either, just a small pad somewhere is enough :)
I tried drifting in Assetto Corsa once. I wanted to start out with clutch kicking, but I can't even hold a drift!
Funny thing is, I can drift a drift kart decently tho. An actual car? I have no idea, yet.
Easily my favorite song in this whole series is "Act A Fool," that beat goes crazy and Luda is always great.
My favorite is the house party music from The Fast and The Furious when Dom and Brian arrive after escaping the cops.
Nobody was ripping HYDROS in 06 😂 in Japan they tightened their e brake slack
Interesting, honestly I didn't know about hydro brakes until a year and a half ago at best
Iḿ so happy that the stunter do the climbing park drift
My add timing was gold, "if there's no adds on this video that's probably why" ADD STARTS
My favirote song they played was the one in the montage at the beginning of fast 6 where it recapped all over the other movies leading to the 6th.
Night rave in the fast and furious that song hits different.
The first films score is one of a kind for sure
that racing game scenario lol i always called it *pulling his t shirt back"
My favorite piece from all Fast and Furious media would be Six Days from the intro to Tokyo Drift, just cause it was very memorable
Personally i think DK was upset seeing his friend crashing
You need to do a series of videos on Initial D like this. I'd love to see that!
As for the favorite song bit, all of Brian Transeau's work in the first movie is gold. Really sets the mood for 90's California. Nocturnal Transmission.
Gotta agree with that, the first films soundtrack is irreplaceable
Keiichi Tsuchiya is the original Drift King. He used techniques honed in the underground drift scene in professional circuit racing. The first time he drifted to overtake in a pro race, they suspended his license. But the fans loved it. And he's not just a guy in it for the fun; dude is a real driver. The man won multiple Le Mans and has raced just about everything imaginable.
My favorite Faf soundtrack is Brian Transau's one which was used twice in thr first movies.The first time was when Brian was testing his eclipse and the second one is when he is chasing Tran and his cousin in The Supra.
Right after he said that’s probably why there’s no ads, then I get an ad😂
Hey Joker, if anyone hasn’t said it yet that yellow car you were asking about in the beginning of the video was a Toyota JZX100 Chaser.
The intro track to Tokyo Drift always stands me by. I barely remember the OSTs of the other movies because they don't appeal to me in the same way.
9:47 bandoleros from the ending truly a fitting song
My favorite track from the Fast and furious franchise is "Notorious Alert' (Jake Alert)" for it plays in the background in F&F3 during one of the club scenes.
Evil nine - restless , fav song
"enter the Eclipse" from the first movie is my favourite music out of all the franchise
Tokyo drift is my favourite f&f film, also has my favourite track! When the Hulk car comes around
On the topic of getting better, you nailed it. Seat time, Seat time, Seat time. If you're new to drifting, just go to an event. Watch and talk to the drivers and event organizers on safety requirements and upcoming events. Get a RWD manual car, weld the diff, go to the track and drive. Other parts will be added as you need and improve. If you've got a good drift organization and community, which most are awesome, they'll give you advice and tips on how to improve and setup the car better.
In the past few years Sim-Racing has really improved. Play Assetto Corsa with a mid-quality Logitech or Thrustmaster FFB wheel and a VR headset. The PC and sim setup may cost the price of a beater drift car, but for under $2000, one can get all-year-round drift practice. Get a few hundred hours of sim time and the muscle memory will kick in on the first real track day.
The Evo spoiler 😂
Keichi Tsuchiya actually said "The counter steer was too late" in that scene 6:01
Every time I see those two fishing I have flash backs to the 1997’-98’ American version of Godzilla.
Hang on. When Keiichi spoke, the subtitles said "You call that drifting?", but he actually said something about countersteering? Does anyone here know what he actually said?
"the countersteer's a bit slow isnt it?" or "countersteering late dont you think?" something along those lines cause "osoi" generally means slow or late and "dayo na" is roughly "dont you think?". not sure tho 🤷♂
@@_Numbers_ Yeah, that sounds about right. Thanks a bunch!
Slow on the counter steer
How ironic asking a question like that while rocking a pp and username like that 😬 Gaijin 🤣
@@iainburns4493 shhhhhhhhhh
My fav song is Bandoleros when Sean meets Dom at the end of tokyo drift
To get good at drifting seat time is a must like most things if you do it enough you will pick it up
My favourite pieces of music from FF movies would be Fast And Furious by Brian Tyler, that was used in the scene where Brian and Dom were preparing their cars for that audition race and then it would be probably Fourth Floor by BT from the first movie.
Favorite song in this film: Los Bandaleros (when Dom rolls up)
Fast 4: Letty's theme (the quiet, somber guitar with the heavier guitar in the background)
I don’t remember the second one, I’ll pay close attention when I do the fourth film
Favourite score is fast and the furious 1, when Brian gets discovered and vince is being taken away In the helicopter.
That whole score in that scene was so beautiful
Best song in the whole series is right after Jesse gets shot in the first movie, and the drums hit as dom walks back to the charger
@The Racing Joker , the yellow car is a Toyota JZX100 Chaser. The Mona Lisa crashes into an R32 Skyline(or that's what the headlights made me think). The favorite piece of audio from the entire franchise is @BT 's Nocturnal Transmission. Also, I liked the first movies score, music and pacing!
First film’s music is one of a kind
