beeeennnnnnn It wouldn't have been. You spend our whole life learning to NOT hit things, your instincts tries to override it. Like, all my life I've been playing video games like Driver for example, honing my craft of avoiding traffic. I can drive around at full speed in any game that has traffic and not hit anything for like an hour with precision. So when I play games where I have to crash into objects, I find that extremely difficult. Basically what I'm trying to say is - When you're highly skilled at something, it's super hard to go back and be a noob again.
I always thought the funniest part of that exchange wasn't the Timberlake line, it was that DK thought some random foreigner that he had never seen before would know who he is. I mean of course DK has an ego, but it still seems a bit much.
He was actually playing the same character named Han in the director Justin Lin's first movie...a indie called Better Luck Tomorrow ...Now Sung Kang is a supporting cast member on Power...playing a Federal Agent!
Its so cool seeing the real process of the movie , the ways the cameras were used on gocarts and the interaction between all the people its awesome thank you for putting this on your channel
Dude kart camera guy has the best job in the world. In my helmet the whole time i would be going. "WAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAH RAAAAH" and I drove a little shifter kart around.
The first gen Monte Carlo is my favorite car in the whole series. I dug it for its raw obtainable style even though it was the most powerful movie car to date.
@@Porkchop999 Good move as it's the most affordable GM muscle car which were all two door coupes that came with 350 V8's and disk brakes as standard equipment. Big Blocks are cool to look at but if you are doing it for performance I think you would be better off keeping it a small block because engine conversions end up costing a lot. A quality 475-500hp small block will be plenty quick with the right transmission/ gear ratios and will get you back on the road much sooner and for less money and headache. Check out this "Gladiator 350" built from a ZZ4 short block making 527hp. www.superchevy.com/how-to/4398-gm-350-ci-zz4-crate-engine-build/
@@Porkchop999 Check out VortecPro engines and its builder Mark Jones if you gotta have a big block. He makes magic with factory parts and has a bunch of videos.
Ohh man, thanks for uploading that footage Craig. I couldn´t stop smiling while I was watching that video. It brought so many great memories back from the time around that movie got released. Btw, at the 2:30 mark, is that really Lucas Black drifting ? I know that the actors received driving lessons, learning how to drift , but seeing Lucas beeing able to pull it off, is pretty amazing to see. Also, Sung Kang´s "karate moves" cracked me up, I love that guy ! (he also doesn´t seem to age). I think I´ll be watching that movie tonight, its been such a long time.
Hey, I know im 4 years late but yes thats him drifting, after the lessons he took professional courses as well as the other actors which were paid by Universal themselves, so he said in an interview
@@paulwaIker That's not true. In reality, it is a left hand drive EVO driven by a real drifter, while Lucas Black is sitting in the passenger seat pretending to drift.
The Garage car meet scene that Twinky and Sean go to...was epic...Veilside Fortune NSX and the yellow Toyota Chaser...so many hot asian babes... even the beginning with that ratty looking beast mode Monte Carlo racing the Viper...no big name action movie star power but Tokyo Drift proved that Justin Lin was a visionary director who could make a good movie...he made a even better movie with Fast & Furious...Sung Kang as Han, was the heart and soul of this movie!
It was a thing to stop him from smoking. I watched a video a while back that thats why they have Him chewing gum or eating something because he was a heavy smoker.
I love how tokyo drift used real cars and real driving for the shots instead of CGI, yet i hear a lot of people saying its the least movie of the first three.. personally I thought the least one was 2 fast 2 furious..
Yeah, they only had one with the skyline engine in it for a few scenes, it was functional however only one turbo could fit and it didn't really make enough power to drift. The actual drift race had a couple Ford small block mustangs.
He was driving DK's Fairlady Z33 in the first race versus Sean in the S 15...definitely in the last race scene...where he drifts to the top of the parking garage!
I don't get why this channel called Mr. Sunday Movies hates this film. It is literally the best film in the franchise by far, with the first two movies falling into 2nd and 3rd. Guess Mr. Sunday hates tuner cars I guess...
AA I was putting decals on the cars and I added some I wasn’t supposed to on the blue and orange s15’s. I have a rendering somewhere of what I was supposed to follow but I added more stuff.
The red Evo was a IX, I believe read that in a copy of Sport Compact Car Magazine. It actually had more WHP bc they removed the front wheel drive. I just remember them making a big deal about that in the magazine.
@@matmorkinsti EVOVII is at 0:50 and the more I seem to look at it, it most definately is the one from 2F2F, just repainted (it even has the same taillights)... EVOIX is at 4:35 for example. Notice different bodykit (apart from being different car at all) How do I know? I just adored EVOVII when it came out and they have always been super-rare in Europe. You need to have a special licence to register it in my country, for example.
@@hrhunt4036 There's one small detail you've missed and its.. 2F2F was not an Evo lol, it was a heavily modified Lancer. (the rear reveals it, it has Lancer, not evolution 7/8 tailights, which are completely different because of the widened rear quarter panels, if you see 2f2f Lancer it has custom bodywork that resembles that of an evo and it has an evo 7 front clip, but the rear end is completely different. And I dont know if the 2f2f Lancer/Evo hybrid was awd swapped tbh, if it was, then the car at 0:50 might be that car, just repainted. If not, is an evo 7 with that same bodykit.
@@Hanschepu Principally, You are right. I looked through some Lancers from that era (such Lancers doesn´t exist in Europe and from there goes my dumbness) and I have to admit that this car at 0:50 is a complete puzzle. Front end 100% EVOVII/0%Lancer and from the rear it is definately Lancer because of taillights and quarter panels. I think the real truth lies somewhere between our discussion...
Hey Matt just fyi he did post a video on the "Yellow Bird" GT-R R33 it's like a 30 min video it talks about how they acquired the car back then when the car was somewhat of a newer car and the process involved with Motorex and why the car didn't have a bigger role in the film mainly cuz they couldn't get a lot of them right away and they were expensive
Hearing the actual sounds of the drifting is so satisfying

Respect to the stunt driver, it must be really hard to purposely crash and spin out and make it look like bad driving. But he nailed it.
Tanner foust ;)
Santiago Really? Was it him? Cool
@@Streetw1s3r yeah!!! I was very happy, he is one of my favorites drifters
They actually mentioned it somewhere that it wasn't exactly easy to make it look that bad lmfao

this is still a quote I use all the time 😂😂😂
Back when it was still about racing and cars..
tru dat
The last F&F that was actually about cars and the car culture, none of the hero bs like Hobbs & Shaw
*HEIST*
Now is about family
Dude, Sung Kang seems so much like his character in the movie.
He was actually playing the same character named Han in the director Justin Lin's first movie...a indie called Better Luck Tomorrow ...Now Sung Kang is a supporting cast member on Power...playing a Federal Agent!
That sick ass 2 stroke go kart camera rig tho
Its so cool seeing the real process of the movie , the ways the cameras were used on gocarts and the interaction between all the people its awesome thank you for putting this on your channel
Dude kart camera guy has the best job in the world.
In my helmet the whole time i would be going. "WAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAH RAAAAH" and I drove a little shifter kart around.
I love all the outside-the-box camera rigs: a mini, gokarts...
And the evo!
The coolest car had to be ... The go cart camera. Seriously guys xD
Thanks for sharing this.
That S15 must be one of my favorite cars in the whole series, after the Eclipse from the first one.
But i thought when you move around Tokyo, cool music plays in your head..
You couldn't hear it?
Damn bro you must be the only one who didnt hear it
really couldn't hear initial d deja vu?
I’d love to have that go kart job
The first gen Monte Carlo is my favorite car in the whole series. I dug it for its raw obtainable style even though it was the most powerful movie car to date.
that monte carlo is up for sale, check craig's ig, the price is ok too!

That Go-kam is so cool!
More driving talent went into this movie than the first 2. Tokyo Drift will always be my favourite of the franchise. Nathalie Kelley is soo hot too
This is history.
That s15 you monsters. It was innocent
Hopefully it was a rust bucket salvage title car😔
It would still be the coolest car in the world
S15’s were made in vast quantities and can still be picked up for peanuts in Japan. Nothing of value was lost that day.
Nextblood At least the engine made it out alive.
That rotary sounds great :D
Ayyy they got the mini as the camera car that’s awesome!!
Hans rx7 sounds amazing, but then again all. FD’s in my opinion sound sick
Man those top secret 350 !
Most realistic racing and car wise
Why this video doesn’t have millions of views and likes idkfk
Awesome footage! 👌
Very cool enjoyed watching love the movie.. :) :D
Didnt know they were using an evo as a camera car
Holy shit 😳 2:58
That 180 roll like fucking nothing
4:47.
Wow. Not expecting that.
Thanks for sharing 😎
I remember seeing these cars unexpectedly at Nopi as a younger gent. What a treat that was.
Legend
5:16 i feel the pain
Poor Z :(
I have a whole new appreciation for this movie after seeing this 👌🏼
After all those years? Only now? 🖤

wow impressive practical driving, and probably had to do it over and over!
No behind the scenes with Tsuchiya?

Wow they shot this on film too.. amazing. Best F&F
Most movies are shot on film to this day. They all were when Tokyo Drift was filmed.
I would have cried there.
That beautiful Silvia getting wrecked :-(
I love the mustang with the rb26...
Most fun F&F of all
Amazing
Lucas Black: "Dreeft!?"
I love GT Rs, but that C West s15 is still my all time f&f grail car. One day soon I keep promising myself I’ll have a spec R
3:35 Han always chewing something even off screen lol
It was a thing to stop him from smoking. I watched a video a while back that thats why they have Him chewing gum or eating something because he was a heavy smoker.
Don't you have a clip of the Monte Carlo race scene? That was dope

Hello Craig! Awesome footage! Can you tell me- ALL japanese action shots were recorded in studio?
MatizBIGINDASTREET No. Read this : fastandfuriousfacts.com/how-tokyo-drift-was-filmed-in-los-angeles/
You should talk about the different cars in Tokyo drift. Rwd evo, veilside rx7, both 350z, swapped rb26 mustang
the evos are rwd!!
LoL the Rx7 Veilside...2:42 🔥
where was that canyon duel filmed at?
The "high school" girl in the Viper is now in her 40s
And ain't no one racing for her...
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 - We'd all race for her she's still hot
@craiglieberman what were your thoughts on using the mustang in the final drift scene opposed to any other ?
This is awesome but knowing the truth hurts😣😂
This would be awesome with some insider commentary!
No one listens radio,
Tokyo is on fire!
NO ONE SLEEPS IN TOKYO
still waiting on another tokyo drift movie.............
4:45 go kart cam!!!
Is this taken from any previously published Source or do you have secret footage stash somewhere on a hard drive?
he was deeply involved of making the movies of FaF.
Is that stunt Evo part of the fleet of Evo 7s used in 2Fast 2Furious?
This one is an Evo IX, so I don't think so
They would've had to heavy modify it to look like the IX
Just realize that the red evo stunt car is reused from the 2F2F movie, isn,t it? still have the DAMD bumper and the same rear lamp...
What a shame that they didnt use the actual sounds of the cars would of been so much better instead computer generated sound
It would be boring
Your the only one paying attention to that when they already make millions.
The film was recorded in 35mm?
2:42 wow! I mean it’s a cool scene in the movie but something about the less production-ey quality of the footage just makes it look sick!
It's because it looks real.
Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO 1986
Yea man it reminds me a lot of this great video: ua-cam.com/video/QQGOLm9a0_o/v-deo.html
fucking masterpiece
Stay tuned after the movie for behind the scenes and music video at the making of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 2006 VHS
Ah nice, the drift mustang retained it's American V-8 :)
Yeah, they only had one with the skyline engine in it for a few scenes, it was functional however only one turbo could fit and it didn't really make enough power to drift. The actual drift race had a couple Ford small block mustangs.
Wasn't Keiichi Tsuchiya one of the stunt drivers?
Yes he does the Stunts of Evo 9 and was a consultant too and the cameo he was fishing when Sean practice Drifting in the Evo.
He was driving DK's Fairlady Z33 in the first race versus Sean in the S 15...definitely in the last race scene...where he drifts to the top of the parking garage!
Back in the time when the cars actually run on the streets instead of flying lol
I love how they arent wearing any safety gear
When the silvia was wrecked😕
Sometimes I miss Japan. Sometimes I miss Korea too.
Lmao @3:57
Han was 33 years old and dk was 29
Back when stunts were real and not some crazy vfx shit...good old days...
5:14 oh no :(
RAYS
Im curious on all the cars they had to import like the regular cars like taxis and stuff
They didn't have to import any it's Japan
So was it LA or Japan. Because they sure would have made a scene like in Japan probably. Or they really did film it in Japan?
Wait, you can actually become a go kart camera man?! Well there's five years of my life wasted on biology.
Not exactly. They did what the had to for the movie. Most video work is chest mount, car mount, rail mount, or simply by hand using a stabilizer.
Pero esa película no se grabó del todo en Japón tambien California y los Ángeles
Wasn't the movie shot in LA?
I believe so
Japan?
The mustang was V8 in scene ? (5:43)
Stunt cars were all V8
I think It has the engine of the silvia
Yeah, they didn’t actually engine swap it for budget reasons
NISMO THE DRIFTER the rb26 is out of the gtr not the silvia
NISMO THE DRIFTER it seems you don’t know your nissans NISMO
I don't get why this channel called Mr. Sunday Movies hates this film. It is literally the best film in the franchise by far, with the first two movies falling into 2nd and 3rd. Guess Mr. Sunday hates tuner cars I guess...
Line always bugged me New rods rb36 has no pushrods.
They sure as hell had connecting rods.
Hello! Did you participate in filming tokyo drift? If so, will you make videos about it? Thank you!
So that mustang wasn't rb26
dreyft? whas dreyft?
Hector do you have a last name?
this better than the movie
The evo only has one side the decal and the other nothing.
Only one side has a camera on it. Multiple versions of the red evo were used while filming the movie.
For those that didn’t know most of Tokyo Drift was filmed in L.A.
I remember getting yelled at after the fact for putting the MI decal on the back of the Silvia’s 😂
The Real Fogo wym?
AA I was putting decals on the cars and I added some I wasn’t supposed to on the blue and orange s15’s. I have a rendering somewhere of what I was supposed to follow but I added more stuff.
The Real Fogo you designed the cars for this movie?
AA I installed the graphics on a lot of the cars
The Real Fogo i dont get why people were mad 😂 thats literally japanese style. Even today japanese still do that to their cars lol
