The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift • Mall Movie? 100 percent. This movie has an arcade game. You could go straight from the cinema to the arcade afterwards. • Only in 2006: A movie about drifting. • Scene Stealer: Sung Kang, who's still cool in this movie despite how uncool the most recent Fast movies made him. Honorable Mention: Bow Wow who brings a certain gravitas to his role as…Twink. • I Miss: Casual, breezy, not overly stuffed Fast and the Furious movies. • I Don’t Miss: Movies trying to pump you up with Kid Rock's “Bawitdaba.” • 2006 Crush (tie): Nikki Griffin and Keiko Kitagawa. • 2026 Crush (tie): Lynda Boyd and Keiko Kitagawa. • What I Thought in 2006: I sort of checked out on the franchise after the original and didn’t catch up with Tokyo Drift until it hit DVD. I remember thinking it was better than I expected and would have classified it as a guilty pleasure back then. • What I Think in 2026: I go back and forth between liking and really liking Tokyo Drift . The first hour is super fun and energetic but the second hour when the plot (namely the Yakuza stuff) kicks in is a little sluggish. Overall, I like that the movie embraces being about a very specific subculture of car racing and Tokyo is so photogenic that I enjoy going back to this one just for the travelogue aspect of it all.
