THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS - TOKYO DRIFT (2006)
Featuring: Lucas Black; Lil' Bow Wow
Director: Justin Lin
This third delivery in the Fast & Furious series is a little bit misplaced. I am not sure what the producers had in mind when they decided to make this movie. Be that as it may, here we are introduced to another aspect of the illegal street racing culture, namely: drifting. For the uninformed, drifting is where you drive your car as fast as possible around a roughly demarcated track - sideways...
Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is your typical high school-er who likes to strut his stuff by way of racing. But when he writes off one car too many, he gets shipped off to his dad in Tokyo, Japan. There he meets Twinkie (Lil' Bow Wow) a fellow ex-pat, who introduces him to the local street racing scene.
Like I said, there is very little recognizable of the original recipe that made this franchise such a success (except for a scene right at the very end of the film). Still, it is not bad but just not quite as good as the rest. That is the reason why I rate it only 2 out of 5 stars.
