I think we can all agree the largest error in the movie is how many girls there are at a car meet...
yeah, unless they're girlfriends there's not gonna be that many girls lol
In Japan though

Tokyo Drift might’ve had a lot of BS but it’s the only F&F movie that is purely about racing.
In the parts after i was disappointed how little racing there was left. They only added the ocassionally quarter mile as a "must", else they became generic action movies.
Completely agree. The original and TD are my two favorites.
You forgot to mention Toretto driving a Roadrunner tryna drift inside the parking garage 😂
Thank you!
Exactly my thoughts back in the day 🤣🤣
I think he lost, then he says to Sean he let him win
Tokyo drift was one of the last originals before it went all james bond mission impossible

@@marcelincrf1481 fast and furious 4 sucked.
So true , too much shit going on. But ngl , i love jason statham.
I think the opening "mistake" is debatable. The police didn't sentence him to go to a location in the world highly known for street racing, it was Sean's mother who sent him off to live with his dad in hopes he could correct him because she was giving up. She probably knew nothing of Japan or its racing scene, and otherwise may have decided against said action. The police wouldn't have known that either as she was the one who decided to send him off. So the opening decision there played out very accurately. Otherwise everything else in the video I 100% agree with as mistakes.
Always thought this, why would the police send him to japan😂
Yeh I watched the movie so many times
I can't see how people would think that police sent Sean out of the country, when it isn't even stated in the movie.
Hell, isn't exile or whatever THIS is literally impossible to do in USA? You can't fuckin send a person into other CONTINENT if he's just a recidivistic maniac driver or whatever Sean is in the movie, y'all ridiculous if you think Police sent Sean out of the country.
THOUGH, i don't know how can you escape from a country when you're supposed to face some kind of charge (even if you're juvenile), and be left untouched, which is it's own thing (AND it's a plot hole!), so here's that.
Except that, i enjoyed Tokyo Drift, as Craig said it's by far the most accurate and not-ridiculous movie of Fast Franchise
I also think that unlikely character motivations and characters making poor choices are NOT always movie errors. The girl offering her to the winner may be a very unethical thing to do, but worse things have happened in the real world. The same with Han letting him borrow his car. Sure, his character motivation might seem odd, but he was a rich criminal that got an American indebted to him. Also not a movie error.
Yeah, I always interpreted it as a plea bargain to go live with his military (i.e. disciplined) father to "get him on the straight and narrow". I've personally known people that got in trouble (attempted robbery of store that he worked at) and in place of jail they agreed to have him sign up and serve in the military for like 2 years or something, though this was the store owners offering this, not the court, but I could see the court allowing for a similar situation.
Furthermore, I don't really agree that Japan is the "capital of street racing". While the games were absolutely everywhere in the 90's in Japan implying every street corner had a high stakes race, the reality is in the late 90's and early 00's Japan had a major crackdown on street racing and it barely exists today at all. Most of the people you see at car meets are foreigners that are living there teaching English or something and watched too much Initial D. It might've sort of been around by the time the movie took place, but nowhere near like the mid-90's when the Midnight Club, etc were still around and overall Japanese people were far less the obedient drones they often are today (and yes, I've been to Japan, I'm not just making shit up).
One reason Han would have tossed his keys to the new guy, he was loaded. Remember this takes place after the crew had stolen a vault full of cash in Brazil
Also it’s just in his personality he doesn’t care about that car fool just wants to have some fun lmao
@@Wavecheckfoo he definitely cares about that car
@@Wavecheckfoo he said in the film....he doesn't care about money.....it's trust and character he needed at that time

Soo before we start filming who's OK with doing a night in a Japanese jail?
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights thats exactly what happened im guessing 😂 so funny. Dudes like fuck it bring it on
he said they had cool cops so i’m guessing jail overnight wasn’t too bad. and in jail all you do is nothing but be bored out of your mind. u prolly never went to jail 😂
@@shutup4215 I only been in jail overnight, nothing more
@@AJ-sw8uf for boosting cars?
Well if we go in the chronological order of the movie Han is still alive after the Fast Five Heist, He moves to Tokyo and has heaps of cash. He even goes to say “I have money. It's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. And one car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of, that's a price I can live with.” So it’s understandable that he let Sean drive his car to drift
I always thought the gf “offering herself up” made sense if you looked at it like this: she’s super waspy and artificial. She feels nothing for Clay as a person: he’s just a status symbol. And Sean challenging him the way he does makes her think that Sean’s above clay, but he wouldn’t be popular enough for her unless he won the race. I also think part of it is just the fun of manipulating people. I mean she tells clay “make it interesting” and “I thought you loved me” when they’re losing. There are definitely women like this out there. But maybe I’m giving the film too much credit idk
Nah, I agree entirely.
Sad fact: women being a prize of a street racing is actually a thing in some places.
You're giving the movie too much credit but yeah, there are girls like that for sure. Correlation doesn't imply causation.
Yeah, I agree, I think this was less a sincere offer and more of her egging her egotistical boyfriend on to race.
"even supercar blonde reads the brochure" was my favourite part.
the F&F franchise ended at 3, after that it's just an exaggerated action movie with a few cars
That's what I've always said. Personally love the 1st and 3rd one the best
Yeah, and what's wrong with liking both?
I'm as much as an old-school fan as the next guy, I'd argue that Tokyo Drift was one of the most underrated action movies of the 2000's.
However, I liked 4-6 mostly for continuity ties, and I personally liked Furious 7 for its sendoff/tribute to Paul Walker.
Still, I can agree that F8 and Hobbs & Shaw got a little excessive at times, even if I don't outright hate them.
I'd say the fast and furious still fits with the first 3 better than the last half. It started to get way out there yes but still I consider it the real ending. But that's me opinions are like assholes right.
@@hell-sol5240 That's cool. I'm still rather lenient but I can respect different viewpoints.
but 3 takes place after 6. And during 7. so...
I think the sending him to live in the global capital of street racing wasn't an error so much as, "We don't want deal with him here. What his dad lives on the other side of the world? Perfect, send him there and let them deal with him." And that is actually very realistic when dealing with the system for young people.
did no one notice in the human trafficking race that the Dodge Ram in front is STAYING in front of the Monte Carlo and the VIper?? while carrying people in the back?
Bro what?
It must have been a tuned-to-hell SRT-10!
/s
I want that Truck😅🤣😂
Yes! That shit always bugged me. Unless it was like a SRT-10 like @Ryo S. said, that shit was wtf. Also why was it in front anyways. Shit is annoying.
@@ThePandagansta It actually is an SRT-10, if you watch a hi-res copy of the movie you can see the badge on the back in one of the shots, not to mention it has the spoiler and other mods of the SRT-10. That said, it's also hauling like 10 people so that's a bit of extra weight and was literally in the way.
Before I bought my R32 GT-R in Japan. I was handed the keys to a guys R34 GT-R Z tune and got to take it around the lot. There's alot of respect in Japan between car owners
As a tech person I can tell you that in that period of the movie in Japan they had really amazing phones that you couldn't find in other markets, I certainly remember some flip Sharp models from Docomo telecom of that time that they were a generation ahead of the world competition but only for the Japanese market and networks.
Yeah, that's what I assumed when I watched the movie. It's also not uncommon for movies to use tech that's "on the horizon" so it ages better. We all knew cell phone video would get better, so were they wrong?
The biggest thing that bothers me is when Sean comes home late and his dad suspects he was street racing. Why would he think that in his son's first day in the country he's going to somehow find someone like Han to lone him a car to race?
As explained, Japan was the capitol of street racing so it was evident that if you're home late as a teen, you were in a street race event and Sean was in Japan because he was caught in the act of street racing.
@@traviswalker8933 street racing isnt as popular as you think in Japan lmao most of my Japanese friends dont even know or pay attention to cars. Westerners think Japan is just cars, anime, and jpop. So false
@@AAA310 drifting is popular in Japan. Infact, it was born over there. I do have some friends in Japan who know a lot about cars so you can say the people who don't know and those who do are 50/50.
Right!!! He could say a million other things besides racing but he just stands there like an idiot.
@@AAA310 wasnt drifitng basically born in japan? And my friend has been there, and according to him, the car cutlutre there is pretty huge.
*Craig: High schoolers in Japan having their own cars is unrealistic.*
*Anime: Allow me to introduce myself.*
Guess Craig hasn’t heard of Initial D
@@tikalthewhimsicott2736 but most of the characters are older than 18
Also many of the characters are either Foreigners or involved in crime. It would definitely be possible for some of them to have "stayed back" a year or two, and be 18 or 19 and still in highschool.
@@zachmtb8432 Yeah, IIRC early in the show they graduate high school or imply it's their last year, so they would be turning 18 and getting licenses. Takumi was plainly stated to have been driving illegally doing deliveries for his dad's tofu shop, which is why he's good in the first place.
@@nunyabusiness896 yeah
Biggest error? Neela and Sean having a calm, quiet, romantic conversation, while drifting down a mountain pass in formation at high speed...
The tire and engine noise alone should make conversation limited to short shouted instructions
This was my first thought
In a fully stripped out race car yes.. Neelas car still had a full interior..
@@trippnoutmotorsport3164 you either underestimate how loud drifting is or how poorly a car is sound deadened.
@@kellypg I’ve got drift cars. I know exactly how loud they are. And a full interior rx8 drifting in the wet isn’t loud.
@@trippnoutmotorsport3164 prove it. I'm not gonna argue with you. Prove that you can have a calm, quiet, relaxed conversation while drifting. And to make it easier, I won't even as for you to use a mountain.
Doesnt matter how many mistakes were made in tokyo drift. That is my favorite movie out of the nine movies.
Hahahah the casual Supercar Blondie roast-love it ;)
For the cell phone thing, I just thought in Japan their phones (then) were WAY more high tech than what we got in AMerica and I kinda figured the Evo was converted to RWD. Other than that, I just figured "Movie"...
Japanese phones were way ahead of American and European phones back in the days. Even ZTE from China was making more advanced phones than Motorola, Alcatel, Nokia, Siemens...
Also this movie doesn't take place in 2005 it takes place around 2011 (I think) so I guess that could mean they could stream the race but what I never got is why are they using those phones around 2011 when there were smartphones and shit
The thing of Tokio Drift to be a continuation of fast five was an afterthought.
The guy with the Paw going to jail for Justin Lin is hilarious.
1. The car tires changed from slicks to threaded.
2. A clutch pedal on a automatic car with a B&M shifter.
3. Correct military family members has a different plate.
4. Drifting in a parking garage in Japan not all the time but it does happen. Wide open street roads are preferred. Most park garages are used as. P.A's
5. High school students that own cars is illegal but its a thing, mostly a group or gang member.
6. Streaming and watching TV on your phone in Japan was a thing back in 2005, but the quality is trash.
#3, I had always thought that maybe it wasn't registered to him like the Evo wasn't registered to Shaun.
@@johnjacob688 good point
@@johnjacob688 the Evo was Han's car.
@@traviswalker8933 " like the Evo wasn't registered to Shaun."
@@johnjacob688 yeah because it wasn't his car.
One of the Biggest errors of the Tokyo drift is the reason for beginning the first race, The guy throws a ball and breaks the rear window a d comes into the car, Sean stops the car a d ball falls out of the car🤣🤣🤣
Another error is that he is going to a Japanese school, where they only speak Japanese. Most military kids will go to school on base where they speak English.
In Tokyo, many people know English, some better than others. It's usually taught in the schools. I spent a month in Tokyo and talked to many residents there, but I know there are many who cant speak English at all. And you are correct about the schools, although I know of a few parents stationed at Zama, lived off post, and had their kids go to school in a traditional school
@@IamCodyQuinn yeah Sean's dad clearly doesn't live on post. And Sean presumably had a laptop to help with translating, like most kids at international schools.
All good points, I live next to Tokyo now. Just being thrown into a public school with the teacher speaking Japanese would be very difficult without a physical translator. A lot of kids I know who go to a public school are mixed, and can speak Japanese. International school is a bit different.
@Punx is idol and noise do we even know if Sean's dad is active? He might be retired.
You forgot the most important thing, a guy who knows nothing about drifting or never even heard about it does not go and defeat a so called "drift king" after a few days of practice
Except everyone who drove RWD cars growing up learned to drift before it ever became a sport.
@@negativeindustrial emm nope. There's a difference between doing donuts or at most slidding around a roundabout, and drifting.
@@AlbertoDsign

just watched Fast and Furious 9 and let me tell you, Craig's gonna have a *Good* time calling out the errors in that movie
The first 3 movies are my all-time favorite. In the new movies, they're literally becoming the Avengers lol
I disagree with the comment about the phones in 2005. Phones in AMERICA were junk in 2005, but in Japan they where actually amazing, and their wireless mobile internet was light years ahead of ours back then, and even today they are still ahead. I had a teacher for Grade 10 Social Studies who taught English there for just over a year, and he showed us this movie for a social studies project we had to do. He showed us the phone he used in Japan after we started talking about the cultural differences in the movie vs North America. It legit looked like a handy cam. It would flip open and the screen would rotate. They had phones for really niche markets as well.
Id believe you. Japan had GPS in luxury cars waayyyy before USA did.
Keitai phones were fancy and feature packed, I don't doubt it has streaming capabilities.
@@CRAPO2011 bluetooth capabilities as well
The movie was shifted from 3 to 6 in the timeline order. It also nearly finished the franchise as street racing was in decline in the mid 00s and the total earnings were the lowest of the movies. Han died at the end only to be resurrected later on after being killed by Statham. The main characters can whisper while drifting in a touge. A person who has never drifted before can learn very quickly to become the best in Tokyo. The main character avoided any kind of legal action in the USA by simply being sent to Japan, then avoids any kind of legal consequences for his actions while residing there also. So many errors but it is still my favourite (yes is crappy) movie in the franchise. Check out Screen Rant pitch meetings on the franchise.
The marketing was the problem IMO. They axed all of the characters from the first two movies and showcased fucking Bowwow in all of the trailers and everyone was like "what the hell is this shit?" and didn't bother. Back then, if you saw a movie will all different characters, you knew it was a low-budget cash-in film, or at least thought it was. Bowwow wasn't even that bad in the movie, but I would've never guessed that from the trailer.
Then when everyone eventually saw it on TV or DVD all of the car people came to know it as the best of the series and the only one 100% truly about racing, but it was too late and the accountants that only see profit margins decided Mission Impossible with ex-street racer characters was the new direction.
shaun landed in japan with a guitar, but when he got to his dads house it was gone. in the directors commentary they stated this was to pay the cab as he didnt have any yen. this wasnt explicitly stated in the movie and i always thought it was a fun piece of trivia.
You can see how he lost his guitar in one of the deleted scenes.
Also, the scene where Han explains the cops in Toyko: Police usually gets on their radio, and within minutes, the roads are closed, if they would be trying to catch some street racers. But thats a whole other story
Midnight Club Wagan based . Lol
Craig, I don't know if I've ever told you this before or not, but your cars helped to turn me into the biggest car guy that I never thought I'd be (yeah...thanks there guy)...lmao Anyway, the first FnF turned me into a complete and utter import fan, and I've been a Honda fan ever since I was 18 and the first movie came out. I had a 94 Eddie Bauer Exploder that was jacked up with wheels, 33x12.50 tires, a bull bar, and was a quintessential offroader, and RIGHT before the first movie came out I traded it for a 92 DA Acura Integra. However, once the movie came out I figured out how to turbocharge it, and I did...and it was really fast until I destroyed the transmission. Anyway, I am 37 now and I have a fully built 709 whp B series EJ8 Civic coupe and a JDM J32A six speed manual swapped CG1 Accord with a GT35R turbo that makes 522 whp...so far. I learned to work on cars BECAUSE of the Fast and the Furious.
So nice of you to say that, but my role was pretty minor to be honest.
@@craiglieberman I don't think your role was minor at all. I read all the articles mentioning you in Max Power and knew all about your cars back when the first film came out and I was only 13 at the time. To me, you're a legend.
An error that you forgot to mention are in the parking garage scene with a lot of the cars you could see were left hand drive. And with the movie supposedly set in Japan they should all be right hand drive. Yes at the end of the day that scene is shot in LA but It's a small detail I noticed instantly.
I agree.
Just like the EVO having an APR PERFORMANCE bodykit and livery…
(APR PERFORMANCE is an American tuning company)
It was also silly to use an EVO in a movie that is about DRIFTING…
The EVO or any kind of AWD car is not known to be the number one choice for drifting!
This was all a marketing deal with Mitsubishi Motors and APR PERFORMANCE (an US American tuning company).
Sean’s car in the first race against D.K should have been a S13 Silvia.
Then later on he would get Han’s S15 Silvia.
Would have made more sense to be honest.
When you watch these kinds of movies, you really have to leave your brain at the door.
That's what we did!
Honestly, I'm more on and off.
Sure, I mostly enjoy the movies in a mindless guilty pleasure sort of sense, but at the same time, I always remember the specific cars used throughout the franchise and see how the movies are connected plotwise.
The worst error was probably when Sean was in the rx8 while neela was magically drifting the mountain without any noise at all and they’re just calmly talking about life 😂
Yea, that was just...wrongly weird.
Having owned several rx8s. The weirdest part about this scene is the rx8 works...
@@AdamMGTF LOL
If you own it and have trouble i feel bad for laughing now :( i love dorito engine.

The fact that this is supposed to be set in 2013 after Fast & Furious 6 is such a reach 😂😂 There are so many clumsy continuity errors like the 2005 technology and the absence of cars like the R35 GTR or GT86. At the time it was made, it was set in 2005. Ret-conning it to be 2013 really was a sorry excuse to fit it in the story.

@@thomaspanditfan2435 They shouldn't have explained it, they just wanted a pathetic excuse to keep cashing in on this overdone series.

Anyone else notice in Sean's race against the home improvement kid, that Sean shows he can already drift, but when he gets to Tokyo he has no idea ?
he doesn't really drift, more like slides barely controllably
I agree, to a point, but he knows enough to steer into it and he does successfully drift around that corner rather well. But get to Tokyo and he hits everything in site lol
@@therealswarvey steer into it? More like turn and slide out. In the car park he was trying to actually drift, meaning start the slide before the corner like you're supposed to which he couldn't.
@@scootbmx01 i agree. Drifting starts before the turn. whats not believable to me is that he'd never even heard of drifting. im not even that in to imports/racing and i was aware of drifting before the F&F franchise began, let alone F&F:Tokyo Drift. and yes i am from the american south like the character seems to be, based on the accent.
@@scootbmx01 Every drift I've seen involves the rear end trying to overtake the front end (a.k.a oversteer), the driver steers to the opposite to maintain control of the slide. Exactly what Sean does when he "loses control" in the left turn, he steers to the right and maintains control of the car.
This was the best of the series because it featurered most of the cars and was mostly about racing.
He wasnt sentenced to japan. His mother sent him there to live with his fater
The Evo was converted to rwd from what I've read
😤
Yes
Not to mention team orange used to use evos and wrx as d1 cars lmao
RMR did the conversion kits. Rhys Millen was the stunt driver who drove the Evo and owner of RMR.
In a AWD car, it is incredibly difficult to maintain a Four Wheel Drift because all four wheels are turning and this canceling the oversteer
his comment about not being able to use evos in drifting had me like wtf??
han let shawn have his car because at that point han had already robbed the bank in fast 5 so he had alot of money, and was definitely the only person there who could afford to give his car to someone.
He was impressed by Seans craziness compared to what he used to see. And he was looking for someone with principle.. a nod to samurai code
It could even be Han needed a man to pick up his chump change.. every other dude was already tried and probably moved on.. and every dude who owed Han money was used to Hand henchman
Han knew Sean picking up money would be such a novelty.. like an Eskimo coming to you to pick up money...that the gangster would just hand it over because he would see the Eskimo and be like .."ok this is weird and attention that i don't need on my property" so yeah it worked out for Han.. He is smart and wouldn't just give a car away no matter how small a comparative cost
when did he give shaw a car? and which shaw? do u mean owen shaw or deckard?
Okay Craig, here's one. How does DK and Sean not get arrested or at least questioned by the police for their role in the chase that left a mess on the streets and DK's friend and Han's death? There were definitely witnesses. Wouldn't their driver's licenses at least be suspended temporarily?
Tokyo Drift is my favorite movie of all time. Still disappointed this movie never got a proper sequel.
Missed how they’re racing full speed and not passing the truck with 5 people standing in the bed
Was waiting for that. Also, you can see the camera reflected on the truck.

The baseball throw at the beginning I always had a problem with because it made no sense at all that it made a perfect hole and then landed behind the car on the ground
I think the biggest mistake was Sean as you could see in the beggining of the movie was reasonably competent at the wheel of his muscle car. I mean you could see him going sideways a couple of times, so although he wasnt a drift junkie, he was used to sliding the back end on that heavy lump of steel with basic suspension, until he gets to tokyo where we becomes completely useless at the wheel of a car that was built just to do that
Well its the building of something new.... Possibly at the sensitivity the tokyo cars had it was like driving a small pen (calligraphy compared to drawing with a thick brush... The element of new country. Nerves. It being right hand driven.. made it that much harder and in order to build realism thats reality building in the movie trade (imagine Paul's character rocking up in a NASCAR to his first street race like.. c'mon man)
And besides its not like if he absolutely won the race the girl he likes would jump on him.. probably even less happy to talk to him as he would be surrounded by race 'skanks' (if torretto was single and in Seans place his dick would be falling by the end of the franchise)
Drifting in a parking garage isn't realistic even for the best drifter
the one in the last race where dk crashed his right headlight onto sean's tail light, for a split second, the scene shows that dk still has his spoiler, prior to it coming off earlier and hitting sean's window.

Let's not forget Team Orange Subaru Impreza RWD drift car choice :).
My thought exactly about Twink's Hulk Mobile. Its probably Han's. This guy even says very soon after that it would be difficult for high school teenagers in Japan to even own cars.. so he burned himself on that one.
Kumakubo did end up converting an Evo into RWD and competed in D1GP. So I guess if you have enough money to mod the drivetrain, you can make an Evo drift.
The evo was rear wheel drive. A pro drifter/car builder (can’t remember the name) took out the front diferential so that they could use it in the movie
Evos are commonly all wheel drive and are not a popular drifting choice in Japan. That's what he meant.
@@traviswalker8933 heard of team Orange who drift rwd converted evos and wrxs?
@@stylepoints.180 it's said in the video that he's ignoring all the Evos converted to real wheel drive.
It can still be done. Look at Ken Blocks driving vids
@@boyladdysunnyjimboy no one said that it can't be done. He's ignoring aftermarket converted Evos.
Not mentioning that the first race they banged through every gear and yet somehow the truck the friends were driving was still ahead of them? I wanna know what engine they put into that truck....bugatti w16 quad turbo?
Debunking his theory at 8:30, since Tokyo drift takes place after fast 6, technology was advanced enough to record quality videos. Tokyo drift was a post modern film hah
I have a question about the logistics. Given that most of the movie was shot in the US, I've always wondered how much of a logistical nightmare it was to import all those vehicles that appeared in traffic?
Or rather, were those vehicles actually imported from Japan? And if so, were they just sent to the scrapyard afterwards?
The baseball landing perfectly behind Sean's car with a sprinkle of glass for good measure. Visible side mount camera on Sean's car in the viper race. Re-appearing spoiler on the evo when practice drifting in the boat yard.....
Nice. These are the kinds of errors i was looking for in this video. a lot of what Craig listed were opinions on what he thought was likely to be believable.
Furious 7 was just a mess of a movie imo. People gave it a high score just because of Paul Walker because when it comes to the script and storytelling it’s all over the place.
Personally when I think of Fast & Furious I think of Tokyo drift, a movie that back then was seen as the black sheep of the family and now at least for me and other certain people, it aged like wine.
Rotten tomatoes is a shit site
How do you explain the high ratings of Fate of the Furious then? That one didn't have Paul Walker in it.
@@vegas426 like it or not this franchise has legacy, that’s why it keeps getting support even if the movies are plain bad.
@@ElMocoo not necessarily. Most the people who watch fast and furious movies don't even know how to change their oil. They thrive today because they follow that typical action movie formula that you commonly see with blockbuster movies.
@@vegas426 that’s true aswell, but still F&F lost its essence
As a construction contractor that daily drove a 71 Monte for over a decade... NO WAY did that Monte just plow through a staircase like that.
It might have made it through the house, but it would have been absolutely trashed.
Tokyo drift is my favorite of all them
Tokyo drift is my favourite of them all, I wouldn't change a thing about it, I'd love to see another movie with its style!
check out "born to race". It is basically the same crude story, but on a probably lower budget. my garage comrade and me have watched it several times and we refere to it whenever we are in our mancave and do car things.
@@snakeplissken2148 awesome
@@snakeplissken2148 kickass movie, that could have been even better given more budget, the second one.... trash....
@@snakeplissken2148 you can actually see the full second movie right here on youtube lmao.... thats how bad it is they dont even care to yank it down.
The Monte Carlo changes from an auto to a manual.
When Han was training Sean at the mountain and the Evo’s spoiler fell off, there’s scenes where the wing is replaced and others where it’s still broken
Haha, I laughed at the Supercar Blondie jab!
Omg that was great!
You can drift well enough in AWD and FWD cars. It doesn't bother me that they chose an Evo.
There is one complete madlad with a 4WS FWD Prelude that drifts side by side with Silvia guys.
Plus, RWD swapping Evos is so common it's actually representative of the actual real life car scene.
Dude it’s physically impossible to drift a FWD
@@amirparsi4165 It is very uncommon and difficult but there's always that guy... in other words it is possible but i'm sure it doesent look very clean

Without this man, car culture wouldn't be the same as we knew it
I would argue that this man helped ruin car culture. He helped usher in the era of mega ricers.
@@johnjacob688 ricing cars was a thing before F&F came out.
@@traviswalker8933 I never said it wasn't.
Craig, remember that in formula drift there is a corolla being used... you know, them FWD econoboxes, and also a Lamborghini murcielago was made into a drift car, can't remember the owners name, but it doesn't matter, you remember when you said yourself that the S15 would've been modified to run the rb, you can use the same reasoning as to why the evo is red except this actually happened.
Corolla isn't used anymore. It was a stopgap until the jza90 was released.
Diago saito has a Lamborghini I believe. He's probably the most famous driver in drifting (not the best. But the most famous). I don't think it's used much in competitive drifting. I just remember it being a big deal a few years ago.
R35s are common at top level. Ironically more common than post R34 skylines 😂 but I think it's more a presige thing. They are very big and don't transition well.
Team orange used Mitsubishi cars back in the day. Maybe still do. Not top level mind. I've seen Subaru's in drifting. Especially when they were still available for a few hundred quid. But to work at a competitive level they needed all the Subaru throwing away.
RB swap isn't on the same level really. Simple bolt in swap to a s-body. Works the other way as well. My r33 skyline runs an SR20...
Most top level cars now use JZ or v8s of some kind. But again. That's a rwd setup in a rwd car. Using a 4wd shell just isn't worth it or competitive
Oh, and the Corolla was basically a space frame totally custom vehicle. With a 1000hp 4cyclinder race engine. It was a hell of a bit of engineering. But it could have started life as a pedal powered go kart for all the difference it made. It wasn't a Corolla anymore. Very cool engineering. But not really comparative to anything else in drifting
@@AdamMGTF RyanTuerck is now driving the Corolla in FD.
@@AdamMGTF Corolla isnt used anymore? Lmfao. LMMFAO. Corolla is Synonymous with Drifting in Japan.... See the "Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX (AE86)" then get back to us.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 please read my comment and the context in which it was written.
I was NOT refering to an ae86. I was referring to the corrola which was built by papadakis racing.
As a side note. The internet is full of negativity. I do try to avoid being a part of that (I remember the world before the web fondly).
With this in mind. I suggest that you don't assault someone out of hand, assuming you are superior and therefore do so in a derogatory fashion.
As a further note. Here in the UK, ae86s have disappeared from drifting with a few rare exceptions. The last eight-six I saw being commatative at a nation level was run by Brian Egan in 2014 if I remember rightly. Possibly earlier.
He added forced induction to the f20c he was running but then swapped to a R32, the 32 was a much cheaper car and much more competitive. Though I do miss his driving style in the Corolla.
"even supercar blondie reads the brochure" LMFAO
Craig your commentary is always fire, don't tone it down. The quips are on point 🤣😂🤣😂 "maybe it's just major case of yellow fever"
All 10 Evo’s had drivetrain swaps to RWD
When shawn was drifting by the docks, the real DK was the second fisherman.
and the first fisherman is a D1 japan judge

Han is rich. Probably that's why he'd let the gaijin borrow his car immediately.
S15s are expandables after all
I think the first is not an error, as I understood, either jail, or moving away, his mother choose it to his dad, who happened to live in Japan...
Isn't the cell phone network in Japan about 5-10 years ahead of the West, technology-wise?
Not sure nowadays, but at the time yes.
I dont think those cameras on those phones were though 🤷♀️💩
Even if it was it doesn’t change the fact the cameras on the phones would have been poor quality and I seriously doubt they were flawlessly streaming the race in those canyons without any connection issues.
“A quarter pounder at a time”😂😂
i raced in a construction site in broad daylight, I was in highschool too kids do dumb stuff. had to drift my foxbody around a semi and a worker yelled at me lol
It’s so funny to me the tricks they use to make movies… it’s almost like a home made movie in certain aspects
I love this man and his energy. Donut should collab with him in their podcast

Ok.
no, i agree with you
he decided to include dumb shit like "you can't drift an awd evo" when it's pretty obviously rwd swapped by han (in the movie universe)
@@Yeedman Yeah also says things like Twink's car should have a Y because he was a family member of a military personnel, but later goes on to say that high school student typically dont even own cars. and he assumes all the people in the garage race scene are teenagers. and many more.. oh well..
Not just you.
And Han loaning his car, like if he even understood the story of all the movies in order then it would make sense. Han was way too wealthy to worry about that car, even if it was special to him.
@@-.-6900 clearly you have never built a car
also the scene inside the police station Sean's mom picks him up, while one set of parents pick up the jock and his girl...let that sink in...

Could've easily just been giving her a ride home.
That epstein joke was hilarious, craig dont give a fuck
I hit the like button right after that statement lol
>There's no way streaming could have been done, this is a film from 2006 so resolution on phones back then are horrible
1seg: Am I joke to you?
They actually did have streaming such as that on phones in Japan in the early 2000’s so that’s right not wrong
I watched you on the extras of the 2 fast 2 furious dvd where you built an evo and drove it to a fast food place or something. Nice to see the passion is still there
The biggest error is Sean becoming so good at drifting that he was able to beat DK.
Well he got sent to live his dad not by judge’s order ..nor his fault his dad happens to be living in Japan
The RWD evos were near stock - and built by Rhys Millen Motorsports. There are vids of Rhys testing the cars in hos factory parkinglot. They only had the centrediff welded - nothing else is needed on a EVO to make it - well, except for removing the front driveshafts :-)
Kiwi power 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Oh one thing: When Han says to Sean "I call, you show", before that line, when the camera films the RX7 on the bridge, pay attention to the engine sounds. The car is shifting gears but Sean, the one who's driving, isn't? Both his hands are on the steering wheel. You can hear the car shifting according to the engine sound from that scene. That means the RX7 was automatic or something lol, it's just something minor that caught my attention 🤣
As a former US Squidy, I appreciate the rank recognition for the "Major".. well done and spot on Craig!
