The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is an American action film by Justin Lin from the year 2006 . It plays in the racing and tuning scene in Japan and is about the high school student Sean Boswell, who is sent to his father in Tokyo. It is the third part of The-Fast-and-the-Furious series, but does not take place immediately after the events of the second part , but rather shortly after Fast & Furious 6 and before Fast & Furious 7 .
action
Sean Boswell is an outsider trying to make a name for himself as an illegal racing driver. The races allow him to escape his unhappy world for a short time - but this is one of the reasons why he has problems with the US authorities. To avoid a prison sentence, his mother sent him to his father, a US marine, in Tokyo . After the first day of school, he found a like-minded fellow in a fellow countryman known only as a “Twinkie”. This is how he got into the local tuner scene and the races that he loves so much. But different from what Sean is used to, because in Tokyo there are no drag races like in the United States, but drift races in narrow parking garages or through the dense traffic of Tokyo.
In his very first race, due to a small dispute, he competes against Takashi, the so-called Drift King, whose uncle Kamata, the boss of the Japanese criminal organization Yakuza , is. Han, a player in the tuning scene and business partner of Takashi, lends him his car. Sean is inexperienced in drifting and practically wrecks the Nissan Silvia - and is therefore deeply indebted to Hans. Han believes in Sean's driving qualities and gives him one of his cars, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, and lets him train with it. The apprentice enjoys drifting - and Neela, whom he often meets on the side of the track and at school. The Drift King reacts angrily to the approach to his girlfriend and hits Sean bloodily. Then Neela keeps her boyfriend at a distance and seeks Sean.
When Kamata accuses Han of theft, Takashi forges a plan to kill Han. In Han's workshop there is finally a confrontation in which Takashi threatens Han with a weapon. Han, Sean and Neela escape. On the run, however, Hans Auto is rammed by another car. The car overturns and finally explodes. Han dies in the flames. Full of anger, but more determined than ever, Sean wants to return the money Han stole to Kamata and suggests a race in which the conflict should be resolved once and for all. However, since Sean no longer owns a vehicle, he visits Han's garage, which has been cleared out by the local police in the meantime. In an adjoining room, however, he finds the Nissan Silvia, which Sean wrecked in his first drift race. They are now installing its intact engine in an old Ford Mustang that Sean's father found years ago on a military base. Sean wins the race and becomes the new "Drift King". The defeated Takashi has to leave town. Neela and Sean then become a couple.
Dominic Toretto, known from the first part of the series, can be seen in a cameo in the closing scene. Dom, who was friends with Han, eventually challenges Sean to a race.

reception
Lexicon of international films : The second sequel to the successful film of the same name is all about cars and women, with the Japanese youth scene only acting as an exotic backdrop. The noisy pop fairy tale constantly comes up with visual sensations and only saves itself with great effort over time.
The film grossed around 158 million US dollars in cinemas around the world, 63 million US dollars of which in North America.
background
- Vin Diesel makes a cameo as Dominic Toretto at the end of the film.
- Some scenes were filmed in Los Angeles in January 2006 , where a Japanese-style street was being "disguised".
- While Sean is practicing drifting at the harbor, you can see the real "Drift King" ( Keiichi Tsuchiya ) commenting on Sean's performance.
- Han tells the Drift King that he will take his "Hachi-Roku" (8-6) from him. This means a 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86 , one of the most famous cars in the drifting scene in Japan. This is a cross-reference to the manga and anime series Initial D . Said car is the protagonist's car there.
- Over 100 cars were demolished during filming.
- Sung Kang also plays a character named Han in Justin Lin's gang drama Better Luck Tomorrow , who has strong parallels to the one in Tokyo Drift .
- Hans' urge to constantly eat chips is probably a compensation for a previous smoking addiction . In Fast & Furious Five, Gisele puts this as a reason in the room and Hans's lack of contradiction and his facial expression confirm this statement.
- One scene shows the soccer field on the roof of Shibuya station .
Sequels
The film was seen as a kind of spin-off in 2006 and there was no apparent connection to the previous films. The successors Fast & Furious - New model. Original parts. , Fast & Furious Five , and Fast & Furious 6 hinted at this, but it was only Fast & Furious 7 that followed directly from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift . Han, who dies in Tokyo Drift , is still alive until the end of Part 6. After the credits, there is only a teaser on Furious 7. Tokyo Drift takes place between part 6 and 7, whereby there is a time overlap with part 7, which clarifies the background of Hans Tod.
