The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT (2006) - Nov. 11, 2006
A lousy movie about a troubled teen who is sent off to Japan after destroying his car in a drag race (in an enjoyable sequence featuring a cameo from Home Improvement's Zachery Ty Bryan) and then finds his way into the drift-racing scene. That's pretty much it as far as the plot goes -- there's a subplot involving the Yakuza, and another about the main character's troubled relationship with his dad, but neither really go anywhere. The movie is basically just an excuse to get to the racing scenes, which are competently directed but not all that exciting. As far as this series goes this was slightly better than 2 Fast 2 Furious, but that's not saying much. **
