“Tokyo Drift is to street racing what Rocky is to boxing movies.” –Screencrush“The best Fast and the Furious movie for car people!” –Jalopnik
“Significantly underrated!” –Screen Rant
Director Justin Lin offers a high-octane look at the world of underground Japanese drift-racing in this hugely underrated (but now cult-favorite) installment of the super-charged Fast and the Furious film series. Controversially replacing all the principal, Tokyo Drift imported badass Hong Kong expatriate Han (Sung Kang) from Lin’s own Better Luck Tomorrow to pay off his debt after failing to cross the finish line first. Taking note of the young American’s affinity for racing as he warmly welcomes him into his merry band of misfit drift-fanatics, Han slowly introduces Sean to the key principles of the popular new racing style. When Sean makes the potentially deadly mistake of falling for D.K.’s girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelley), he’ll need all the help he can get to face his most challenging race to date and take on the most notorious driver on the Tokyo drift scene in a hair-raising, hairpin-turn race where the winner truly takes all. Tokyo Drift slams on the gas and slides sideways across the screen in a flurry of color and speed that delivers a rousing rush of fun at the movies.
In recognition of Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, this film is screening as part of Arkadin’s spotlight on Asian-American cinema.
