Tokyo Drift is soooo much dumb fun. I will never get over Lucas Black as a 17-year-old. And the clear disconnect between his age, appearance, and boy/man as the script demands.

Tokyo Drift is pure genius. I'm genuinely impressed by the pedigree of furious writer Chris Morgan. They've gotta bring him back for F&F 10.

Somebody writes 3 through 8 of the saga, you don't let him go! (As REO Speedwagon once said)

Tokyo Drift is in my top 2, the exact spot depends on how I feel.

You can't not-love a movie where people with p serious childhood trauma say it's NBD once they get to drift.

This is what love about this movie, it is in every way beat for beat a 60s yakuza flick but with everyone about fifteen years younger and every scene where someone gets beaten up/stabbed replaced with a scene of someone drifting.

This reminds me, just rewatched the first one, still a classic. I find it funny how "The Trucker with a shotgun" who they face in the climax is by far the most formidable foe they've ever faced. And he got away too.

When they were foreshadowing a bit with "these truckers are gonna take matters into their own hands!", I didn't take it seriously. Turns out a trucker with a shotgun is not something they were ready for that day. Maybe an homage to Easy Rider in a roundabout way.

I love that and how crazy the antics are now vs. it all starting with some guys stealing combo DVD/VHS players.

That is an interesting way to think about it especially given Vin Diesel's well known D&D hobby.

IIRC him talking to Justin Lin about D&D campaign pacing was instrumental in getting the series back on track.

Is Vin Diesel actually upset? I hadn't heard that but also

IIRC Justin Lin walked away from directing Fast X in the middle of production for that reason but I forget if that was for real confirmed or just heavily implied given the more publicized eago war between Diesel and the Rock and the Rock exiting the franchise too.*



*Black Adam's "success" though now IIRC he's talking about crawling back to do another Hobbs and Shaw lol.
