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 remember seeing brad from home improvement in the viper, and the show went off the air in 1999......and the movie was 7 years later in 2006, and he was still in high school lol
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 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.
The gimball/gyroscope only became possible as the smartphone evolved. A steadicam back then was superbly expensive, but even today they fulfill a function to "pre-set" the images, although most digital recording nowadays have better resolution and editing capabilities than reel tape.

@@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!
Maybe with the driving. But all the scenery (far shots) buildings you see is either shipping containers dressed up as Tokyo storefronts (the Shibuya crossing sequence) filled in and finished with CGI to make it look like downtown Tokyo when in fact it was a big empty parking lot. And a lot of the driving shots (Han's garage exterior, the drift races parking garage) was just in LA. In fact. The parking garage used for the drift races (near Hawthorn mall, is either scheduled for demolition or already demolitioned. But Craig has made multiple videos about Tokyo drift. Look it up and enjoy😊😉
So thats how they did the shibuya scene. I recently told a friend that pretty much the entire movie was shot in california with real drifting stunts and he had asked me how they shot the intersection scene but i had no answer for him.
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.
Had anyone noticed that the evo camera is an evo of 2fast2furious? She has exactly the same specification (damd bumpers, wheels, custom rear light, and no APR body kit)
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..

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!
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!
Wrong. The car used as camera car was a RHD Evo 9. The cars used in 2 Fast were all LHD Evo 7s or 8s. They reused the bumpers and wheel a out of their leftover parts stash
On the contrary. The sounds were recorded from actual drift cars. And with the last DK Sean race. They actually did the sequence twice (according to either interviews/BTS footage or audio commentary) first with a Nissan S15 doing the run, and then with the stung Mustang (which actually had something of a souped up 302 V8 in it. And dubbed and edited the S15 sounds over it
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.
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...
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.

Santiago Really? Was it him? Cool
@@Streetw1s3r yeah!!! I was very happy, he is one of my favorites drifters

Thanks for sharing this.
That S15 must be one of my favorite cars in the whole series, after the Eclipse from the first one.
That sick ass 2 stroke go kart camera rig tho
I remember seeing that rx7 full vielside bodykit.......with deep dish wheels and was like dannng these cars are getting crazy
The coolest car had to be ... The go cart camera. Seriously guys xD
I love all the outside-the-box camera rigs: a mini, gokarts...
And the evo!

tru dat
The last F&F that was actually about cars and the car culture, none of the hero bs like Hobbs & Shaw

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
I’d love to have that go kart job
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?
That rotary sounds great :D
Ayyy they got the mini as the camera car that’s awesome!!
0:33 that Yellow Chaser is now in Siberia. You can find a dude he claim that VIN code is the same from Tokyo Drift.
This is history.
This is the best movie of all time hands down.
Crazy how they could still drift with all the stuff in front and the little takes good ppl to work but badass on the scenes
Hans rx7 sounds amazing, but then again all. FD’s in my opinion sound sick

That's probably the only F&F movie filmed in action witt lesser CGI

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.
@@39PSIOnTheDaily Peanuts must be pretty expensive these days...

Didnt know they were using an evo as a camera car

Very cool enjoyed watching love the movie.. :) :D
I would have cried there.
That beautiful Silvia getting wrecked :-(
Don't you have a clip of the Monte Carlo race scene? That was dope
This was the same BTS footage that can be seen on the DVD/Blu-ray extras
I have a whole new appreciation for this movie after seeing this 👌🏼
Holy shit 😳 2:58
That 180 roll like fucking nothing
wow impressive practical driving, and probably had to do it over and over!
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

Wow. Not expecting that.
After all those years? Only now? 🖤
If you had the dvd you could see the same damn things
Of all the cars destroyed that Lexus GS hurt the most
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.
Had anyone noticed that the evo camera is an evo of 2fast2furious? She has exactly the same specification (damd bumpers, wheels, custom rear light, and no APR body kit)
Wrong, they reused the bumpers from their 2 Fast stash. But if you look right the Evo used as a camera car was a RHD car. 2 Fast only used LHD
im honestly super curious about the highway scene on how it's done
Legend
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
Nope. They maybe reused some parts out if their 2 Fast stash (like the wheels & bumpers)
I love the mustang with the rb26...
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..

You should talk about the different cars in Tokyo drift. Rwd evo, veilside rx7, both 350z, swapped rb26 mustang
Maybe look up his videos again. He did it over the years
where was that canyon duel filmed at?
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!
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!
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.
LoL the Rx7 Veilside...2:42 🔥
This is awesome but knowing the truth hurts😣😂
Thanks for sharing 😎
The film was recorded in 35mm?
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/

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.
the evos are rwd!!
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...
Wrong. The car used as camera car was a RHD Evo 9. The cars used in 2 Fast were all LHD Evo 7s or 8s. They reused the bumpers and wheel a out of their leftover parts stash
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
On the contrary. The sounds were recorded from actual drift cars. And with the last DK Sean race. They actually did the sequence twice (according to either interviews/BTS footage or audio commentary) first with a Nissan S15 doing the run, and then with the stung Mustang (which actually had something of a souped up 302 V8 in it.

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?
