The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a 2006 Japanese-American street racing action film directed by Justin Lin. It is the third installment in the The Fast and the Furious film series, but is treated as a spin-off. The film, featuring an all-new cast, was shot in Tokyo, and parts of Los Angeles, the latter often covered with props and lights to create the illusion of the Tokyo style. While Paul Walker and the rest of the actors from original series is not in the film, Vin Diesel reprises his role as Dominic Toretto in a 1970 Plymouth Satellite (in the end of the film) using lots of Roadrunner and GTX trim appearance.Plot
Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is a social outcast in his high school in Phoenix, Arizona with a passion for cars. One afternoon, a local rich kid who is the captain of the football team (Zachary Ty Bryan) shattered Sean's 71 Chevrolet Monte Carlo's rear window with a baseball. Sean and the kid get into a street race with the rich kid's girlfriend as the prize. During the race, the kid tries to wreck Sean when the race goes badly for them. The kid causes their cars to spin out and crash, and both are arrested . Because of his numerous brushes with the law in the past, Sean's mother sends him to Tokyo, Japan, to live with his father, who is stationed as a U.S. Naval officer. Upon arriving at his father's home in Tokyo, he is warned by his father not to stir up any trouble, or he will return to the U.S. to serve jail time, as he had already committed the maximum of 3 criminal offences.
Sean met Twinkie (Bow Wow), an extremely business-minded fellow American, who introduces him to the drift racing scene. Sean has a verbal confrontation with Takashi (Brian Tee) – also known as "Drift King" or DK, and nephew to a local yakuza boss – because he was talking to Takashi's girlfriend, Neela (Nathalie Kelley). They race, but due to Sean's lack of knowledge on how to drift, he is defeated and destroys the 2000 Nissan Silvia S15 lent to him by Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang), Takashi's business partner. After Sean wrecks the car, Han tells Sean to not leave town. The next day, Han meets Sean after school and tells Sean that he must work for him to repay the damage done to his car.
Han becomes Sean's friend and teaches him , giving him a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (With the WRC tuning). Han does this because Sean is the only one unafraid of Takashi (calling him Takashi's "kryptonite"). Neela and Sean go on a date. Angry after seeing Sean's bruises, Neela leaves Takashi to be with Sean.
Takashi's uncle Kamata (Sonny Chiba), a Yakuza head, admonishes his nephew for allowing Han to steal from him. Takashi and some of his goons confronts Han, Sean, and Neela, whereupon they flee. Han is involved in a fatal collision. Takashi, Sean, and his father become involved in an armed standoff which is resolved by Neela agreeing to leave with Takashi. With the help of Twinkie, Sean returns Kamata's stolen money, proposing a race against Takashi to determine who must leave Tokyo. Sean and Han's friends check Han's garage, but find that the police have taken all of the cars except the one Sean crashed in first race with DK. They then restore an old '67 Ford Mustang that Sean's dad formerly found at his navy base, using the engine components of Han's Nissan Silvia which Sean previously wrecked. During the race, Takashi attempts multiple times to crash into and send Sean off the cliffs of the mountain they race on, but drives off the cliff himself and wrecks his car, resulting in Sean winning the race.
Later, Sean, now the Drift King, is challenged to a race in the streets by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), a good friend of Han where he drives "the Hammer" and Sean drives a Nissan Silvia. Sean , already knowing Dominic's reputation, tells them "You know this ain't no ten second race", Dominic responds with a smile on his face, "I've got nothing but time." Sean and Dominic race together in The film ends as both cars race off towards the first straight.
