I appreciate how they make Sean’s character pretty respectful of the change in setting in general. He’s never that adverse to anything new he experiences wen he moves to Japan
Even though this movie had some cringy moments it is still my favourite one from them. No nuke explosions, no government special agents or fight to save the humanity. It portrays the journey of a young person immigraiting (1:50) . I can totally relate to Sean's everyday struggles of trying to fit in foreign society.
This is what my mom experienced when she moved to America from Mexico. She barely spoke any English, and it was hard for her. But we all pull through eventually.
The best Fast and the Furious movie, not to mention it's underrated. Never got the respect it deserved when first released and only recently it's getting back the recognition. Japanese car culture is very unique and I love imports and tune cars from Japan from Toyota to Honda to Nissan to Subaru to Mitsubishi and Mazda.
I actually watched this three times in the theater. Yes, it does not have an oscar worthy story or acting. But goddamn it, those drift racing scenes were so cool. I wish they stuck with that instead of turning them into the avengers
Even with recent movies that came after this, I still think this is by far the most unique one. I hate what they done after Fast Five, not to mention Mr Nobody was apparently part of the story all along... I don't like it that much.
@@yutro213 Dom clearly won the race (judging from their conversation) but you are right. It's a huge missed opportunity. I was hyped for FF7 because i hoped Sean would get more screentime there but nope. All he got just an used footage from FFTD ending and 2 minutes of conversation. He became a rocket scientist later on at FF9 which is great I guess but it's still a waste.
@@zaxarispetixos8728 ….then there may as well not have been a sign there in the first place. Its like asking if its ok to cross a busy road when theres clearly a red light for pedestrians. Ignorant? Or stupid? Or both?
This is a case where the deleted scenes absolutely didn't need to be deleted. Notice how he doesn't have his guitar after the taxi drops him off? In the deleted scene he didn't have the money to pay for the ride so he has to give the driver the guitar. It's character building both for him (young, inexperienced, clueless) AND his dad (irresponsible for missing his airport pick up). What, the extra 30 seconds couldn't fit in the runtime for the theater?
The Karate Kid but with cars & drifting ? really? what about when the boy waits outside the office while his mother is turning tricks with the detective who arrested the boy so the boy wont get locked up is that like The Karate Kid ? Would Daniel-san wait outside the dojo while Ms. Laruso f*cked The Cobra Kais ?
The most unrealistic part of this movie is that Sean was somehow able to get into a Japanese school without knowing Japanese. It is much easier to believe that Dominic Toretto flew through three skyscrapers in a car than this.
@@theguywhoisaustralian1465 It really doesn't. Having a basic understanding of Japanese both written and spoken is a bare minimum mandatory requirement.
@@ABCRapster Yall act like people needed smartphones to get around before 2010 or something lmao. Following directions from an actual map and asking simple directions from the locals is still a thing you know. All you needed to do was point something on the map and people will point you which directions to go if there was a language barrier. Thats what my family did when i was kid in the 2000s everytime we go on a holiday. Or you could just say the location you were going to and they would immidiately understand and point you to it and if you lucky enough they have a friend with them who could speake some english.
@@cruelsun1227 I’m just saying it’s easier these days looking at it in todays world. Of course people had to ask for directions lol. I’m just saying that Sean was brand new in Japan and his 1st or 2nd day? He did a good job navigating though!
@@ABCRapster My point was that was the norm before the age of smartphones. It was normal back then. So it wasnt really that impressive. Plus his dad probably gave him directions to begin with and told him exactly where to go instead of him finding out how to get there.
ya everything is going to focuse on him b/c tokyo drift failed people were not happy with Tokyo drift b/c dom and Paul BOTH weren't in it. keep in mind they had to pay vin millions just for his appearance at the very end of Tokyo drift
@@Icewarrior101 Yeah well there are laws and rules when it comes to using actual minors on screen. There are limitations hence they use young adults for these roles.
The only "error" was changing the colour of his t-shirt between the police station and sitting on the plane. If Sean wore the blue t-shirt on the plane as he did in the police station, that scene transition would've been perfect!
@@cameronw6702 yeah they turned him into some foolish clown, a 180 of what we got from tokyo drift. Seriously like 2 different people. Did him wrong. Oh and the explanation how Han survived made no sense at all.
Until this day I still listen to this sound track. One of my favourite sound track (Welcome to Tokyo) in this film. Brian Tyler is just amazing. That super zoom out taxi shot 🔥
You know why is character is so likeable? He adopts everywhere he goes without complaining. I would have cried 10 times seeing the bedroom he had to sleep in and another 10 times finding and going to school
His moms thought process must've been "I don't want my son street racing. Let me send him to the birth of racing on a mountain, which also happens to be the birthplace of drifting and the most legendary car companies and car parts."
I know that's like my father who wants me to stay out of trouble and learn good habits sending me to Japan to be with my ex soldier alcoholic, smoking, gambling grandfather lol
Problem is I doubt the mom had any fucking clue about Japan and the racing culture. Most people don’t even know when their own cars are from Japan. You have to be somewhat into cars and she doesn’t strike me as that. Lol
Maybe this was an ironic/counterintuitive destination for him, considering why he was banished, but I think the idea behind exile is: You’re not our problem anymore, they can deal with you as they like.
I like how Japan and Tokyo Focused the 2000s were with car culture, before this movie you had games like Midnight Club 2 and right after Midnight Club 3 Remix, The Tokyo Extreme Racing games, Gran turismo didn't really show much but had a lot of Japanese circuits cars, drift cars and tons of photo locations in Japan including tokyo, right after this movie Tokyo Drift game came out. Good times, it wont be the same scene again.
Nathanael Vidhi I like watching *THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT* with the characters in the film between *Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), Twinkie (Bow Wow) & Earl (Jason Tobin).* I wish they bring back the *Tokyo Drift characters* between *Neela (Nathalie Kelley),* *Sean's love interest* & *Reiko (Keiko Kitagawa), Earl's friend.*
A map is only going to get you so far. The amount of clueless travelers I used to see at the train station trying to work how to buy a train ticket especially back then was crazy. No iPhone, no apps.. getting off the plane and trying to find a way into the city from the airport, not reading or speaking Japanese.
I like the dad's crib, it looks nice and secure. It feels like a house u can b hidden in instead of looking like it's out in the open. It's small sure, but the decoration around the crib is dope.
Yeah exactly dude. It’s small, low maintenance, yet decent. Somewhere you could really chill out, at the end of the day, away from the troubles of the world. Heck, even with a hooker friend, like Sean’s dad does.
I never noticed the miscommunication between the dad and the mom. I get that Japan in a day ahead. But the dad thought the the 7th in the US, but the mom sent him the 7th in Japan. I guess dad thought he had a free day (which is why the woman was there) or someone wanted to quickly get rid of Sean.
It was to show the dad is irresponsible. He left Sean's mom to avoid those responsibilities, and he is bad at them as well. He lives alone in japan as well.
@@Ormusn2o TBH I think both of them kinda irresponsible lol. The mom was trying to hit on the cop and she probably knew nothing could improve for Sean but she still did it... The dad on the other hand decided to let her handle everything with Sean going abroad to Japan...
You can tell his dad definitely didn’t wanna deal with him and his mom didn’t want him no more because he shows up to his dads house and his dads first words are I thought you where gonna be here on the 7th no hug or nothing and who knos how long sean didn’t have contact with his dad
His mother likely flirted like hell/offered some flesh treats to the cop to secure a deal for Sean: Sean walks free and in return, he leaves the country immediately. No charges and Sean has to GTFO of this cop's town and school district and not come back.
This makes me wish F&F was an anthology franchise where every sequel we meet new characters from different car scenes across the globe and they all culminate into an expendables syle or avengers style team up movie where they all compete in races . It could have been Brian, Dom, Roman, Sean and other protagonists from the other movies racing
Kinda jelly. I was supposed to go over there as an english teacher had my packet filled out and everything......then i met yhe woman who would be my wife. Fair trade
Kinda crazy he had to travel to Japan one day and immediately go to school in a different country the next day with no recovery from the jet lag or chance to acclimate to living in an entirely different culture lmao
TBH... I think Sean's mom would go through that in order not to get her son into more trouble with the police. With that been said, it probably wouldn't have helped much.
What it’s like for an American guy to go to Japan for the first time : Tokyo Drift What it’s like for an American girl to go to Japan for the first time : Lost in Translation What it’s like for an American guy to go to China for the first time : Karate Kid
Man, the soundtrack that plays when he is for the first time in Japan is soooo atmospheric and immersive. Every time when i visit my friend that lives in different city (3 hours with train), it is playing in my headphones.
I'm pretty sure even if he didn't have one, there are classes that specialize in teaching English to foreigners. We have them in almost every school in the US.
Actually now there are a lot of English speakers and teaching classes in Japanese schools nowadays starting from elementary going up to high school there's even a whole bunch of international schools there's a whole bunch of mishmash of ethnicities. A guy I went to high school with moved to Japan and is a English teacher in an elementary school
Yeah guns are illegal in Japan, if sean’s dad got caught with the illegal possession of a firearm he’d probably get deported and a dismissal (officer version of a dishonorable discharge)
He has to leave it with the taxi driver that dropped him off at his dad's place when he arrived in Japan. Taxis are extremely expensive in Japan and not many know this, the only thing he had worth anything was the guitar.
@@InsomniaRebel They are not THAT expensive. They are just expensive compare to the trains in japan, but because how dense a lot of japan is, its not more expensive than in rest of the world.
@@Ormusn2o not only compared to trains but also expensive when compared to USA taxis. Not sure where you are from but maybe I should have clarified since in the movie he is also from the states. Cheers.
When I was watching *The Fast And The Furious Tokyo Drift Deleted Scene,* the part in *"Cabbie Wants Yen",* Sean Boswell was unable to pay to the Cab Driver, unfortunately, he doesn't have enough money to pay. So instead, he just leaves his guitar in the cab, behind. 🚕🎸
I found it funny how him and Bow Wow's characters aged and the Tokyo drift was made out to be roughly the same time frame as the events of latest movies lol..
For all the hate this movie gets. Its the best one out of them all. A decent car movie with a fairly realistic storyline based around Yakuza and JDM car culture.
@@du4lstrik3 Cop got laid bruh. 1:29 "there's gotta be another way" and the scene cuts to the others waiting outside while they settle the "other way"
Now i want to see the full movie!! I remember watching this over and over again when i was in H.S. around 2009/2010. Pretty underrated film. At first i was like "Wheres Paul Walker? Its not FnF." But i understand now and i dont mind.
When I seen this movie I was probably in my teens and I'm just bruh this dude is not in his teens not I'm in my late 20s but this was such a good movie made my professional to this day I'm still WRENCHING 👌
Honestly, if my car flew like that too, I would want every copy of every angle if possible.
@lxRaptorxl Clout Profit 😎
Dude pulled off a gta car stunt
Lol
For that you need a Tesla
30 year olds acting like high schoolers.
I appreciate how they make Sean’s character pretty respectful of the change in setting in general. He’s never that adverse to anything new he experiences wen he moves to Japan
That's why he joined NCIS
Another version of Sean would probably make him super ignorant, “Ya’ll eat with STICKS here?” Lmao
And it’s good he was willing to try new food too.
This movie really captures what it’s like for an American to go to Japan for the first time.

my favorite movie as a child
What it’s like for an American guy to go to Japan for the first time : Tokyo Drift
What it’s like for an American girl to go to Japan for the first time : Lost in Translation
What it’s like for an American guy to go to China for the first time : Karate Kid
Mention *The Karate Kid* like:
Ralph Macchio
Hilary Swank
Jaden Smith
That was a nice transition 1:49
1:48 what a clean transition
Man, the soundtrack that plays when he is for the first time in Japan is soooo atmospheric and immersive. Every time when i visit my friend that lives in different city (3 hours with train), it is playing in my headphones.
What's the name of this song dude?
@@atomicearn welcome to the tokyo i think? :P
@@jackcravford8744 thx bro
0:58 I just realized that there’s a no smoking sign behind him right before the mom smokes lol
Cut before the best line; ''You selling that SPARCO steering wheel?"
To be fair I would have wanted a copy of that video aswell.
*You sellin' that Sparco steering wheel?*
How the hell Sean gets into a Japanese school without having a Japanese language certification
I guess it doesn’t get as realistic as it gets 😅
I'm pretty sure even if he didn't have one, there are classes that specialize in teaching English to foreigners. We have them in almost every school in the US.
Actually now there are a lot of English speakers and teaching classes in Japanese schools nowadays starting from elementary going up to high school there's even a whole bunch of international schools there's a whole bunch of mishmash of ethnicities. A guy I went to high school with moved to Japan and is a English teacher in an elementary school
@@AndrewADeMuthIIIthat is only used in rare occasions like asylum seekers in Japan
@@nikkimiddlekillsday5161yeah you need a college degree to work a dead end english teaching job in Japan that pays abysmally low
Sean’s dad was a badass, especially when he told DK “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” while pointing a gun at him.
Yeah guns are illegal in Japan, if sean’s dad got caught with the illegal possession of a firearm he’d probably get deported and a dismissal (officer version of a dishonorable discharge)
We never see a scene where he plays guitar in the whole movie...
He has to leave it with the taxi driver that dropped him off at his dad's place when he arrived in Japan. Taxis are extremely expensive in Japan and not many know this, the only thing he had worth anything was the guitar.
@@InsomniaRebel They are not THAT expensive. They are just expensive compare to the trains in japan, but because how dense a lot of japan is, its not more expensive than in rest of the world.
@@Ormusn2o not only compared to trains but also expensive when compared to USA taxis. Not sure where you are from but maybe I should have clarified since in the movie he is also from the states. Cheers.
When I was watching *The Fast And The Furious Tokyo Drift Deleted Scene,* the part in *"Cabbie Wants Yen",* Sean Boswell was unable to pay to the Cab Driver, unfortunately, he doesn't have enough money to pay. So instead, he just leaves his guitar in the cab, behind.
🚕🎸
No lie, Sean's Room is kinda a mood.
SEAN:"Where's My Car!" 🚗
"I Crushed It!"
Back when fast and furious was actually good
Of course.
*I love the FAST & FURIOUS FRANCHISE films!!!*
👍👍👍👍🚗🚗🚗🚘🚘🚘
I love this movie and I canwatch it any time I want to. THANK YOU!😊
I found it funny how him and Bow Wow's characters aged and the Tokyo drift was made out to be roughly the same time frame as the events of latest movies lol..
It was a last minute decision.
Yet Han barely aged.
That bedroom curtain fair drowned out the noise of the neighbours tv.
must have been a pain navigating Japan without google maps or any tech back then
One of the best scens in the franchise. A time and culture perfectly captured through film.
For all the hate this movie gets. Its the best one out of them all. A decent car movie with a fairly realistic storyline based around Yakuza and JDM car culture.
all honesty, I'd want a copy of that race too
He cant read or speak japanese yet he find a way to going to school for the first time 🤣
One of my all time favourite movies.
10x better than the superhero stuff now...

6:19 childhood friends running together
0:58 nice little detail, no smoking sticker while the cop simping
“Officer is it illegal to smoke in here”
*pulls out lighter and lights cig*
Just as there is a sign that says no smoking….
cop was a simp
@@du4lstrik3 Cop got laid bruh. 1:29 "there's gotta be another way" and the scene cuts to the others waiting outside while they settle the "other way"
@@nashnash1670 bruh you nasty fr
@@nashnash1670 "Your mama sure does care about your schooling, son!"
The best installment of the whole fast and furious franchise
This movie brings back memories
The only fast and furious movie about racing
I would love for a tokyo drift 2
r e d
I would like to see the sequel for *THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT 2!!!*
Now i want to see the full movie!! I remember watching this over and over again when i was in H.S. around 2009/2010. Pretty underrated film. At first i was like "Wheres Paul Walker? Its not FnF." But i understand now and i dont mind.
When I seen this movie I was probably in my teens and I'm just bruh this dude is not in his teens not I'm in my late 20s but this was such a good movie made my professional to this day I'm still WRENCHING 👌
"It don't matter if you win by a inch or mile. Winning's Winning."
The Japanese girl his Dad had obviously been fucking certainly appreciated the value of gaijin inches.
His dad looks like Michael De Santa
💀💀
😂😂😂😂
Sounds like him too
really love the transition at 1:47
This was my favourite movie of the F&F.
Lusitanus
*Same here, mate!*
👍👍👍👍🚗🚗🚗🚘🚘🚘
It’s crazy how that piece of paper never fell from that cabinet
2:03 I see a third wheel 😂😂
Sean’s best blessing in disguise he could ask for.
😐
Sean Boswell
USA-JP
He started in the US then transferred schools in Japan
man, what a punishment, a free trip to japan
He was banished.
does it include the deleted scenes? cuz that would make the movie a bit coherent for other characters as well.
I had a uncut version of this movie back in 06. I remember my older sister got it from her friend
Gotta admit, them Jordan’s do look pretty nice. Roll credits
0:59 the sign at the back lmao
"officer is it illegal to smoke in here.?" theirs literally a no smoking sign in the background....
When he lights up the cigarette and she look back at him,that’s one of the sexiest money ever recorded,legendary
