Can you guess which one of these is the one that normies hate? Take a guess.
Anyway, due to the character limit, my point here is that Tokyo Drift is clearly superior and people didn't like it because they're fucking plebs. At least it had a goddamn message.
"Insider or outsider. That doesn't really matter. What matters is that if you want something, you go get it."
Tyler Cruz
Oh also I loved the fact that Tokyo Drift showed the dangerous consequences of racing multiple times. Unlike the first two movies where it's brushed off in an almost sociopathic way.
Charles Johnson
>Every character gets a decent arc What was the girl's arc, then? (Just playing devil's advocate here, I love Tokyo Drift.)
Noah Foster
All my friends love 3 though. Just because you have to come up with strawmen because you've never talked to someone face to face doesn't mean you are right.
Landon Morgan
They get better from Tokyo Drift on, Justin Lin directed 3-6. Tokyo Drift is one of the best ones, but I get why normies hate it as Lucas Black is a terrible actor and a charisma black hole.
Tyler Green
and this is why the first is best not one black person in site besides based ja rule and monica
Jace Lee
>Consequences The cops won't chase me if I go fast enough!
Oliver Taylor
Five is the best
Asher Ramirez
The series only really gets good at the fifth movie.
Isaiah Myers
>>Real basis on a somewhat realistic portrayal of Japanese street racing
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You're adorable.
Tokyo Drift is an American fantasy of what a scene like that could be, if Japanese acted like Americans. Secret clubs? Blocking off parking garages? Rivalry? Didn't happen. The guy who wrote the movie stated several times he had no clue what drifting was, and made most of it up.
I've been told by numerous Japanese of that age group that not only did a "scene" like that not exist, but the school scenes were completely fiction, no Japanese schools are like that, and Sean would have been sent to the American School in Japan, or one of the other private American style schools.
But you probably think Fast and Furious is realistic - Hey, I remember being 14, too.
Wyatt Powell
4 is a Snooze fest. 5 is the best one. 6 is meh 7 is meh bust had that cool skyscrapper scene. Didn't even watch 8
Hudson Mitchell
Wtf? My normie friends love Tokyo Drift and I agree with them because it is the only decent movie in the series
Oliver Campbell
the 3 are shit
Jacob King
I stopped at the 4th one, when it became superhero movies. Even as unauthentic as the first one is, it's still somewhat believable, just an exaggeration of the scene and adding the larping criminal and gang bullshit. Two...Eh. There's hot women. 3 was pure mindless entertainment, pure "yakuza" bullshit. 4 is when I said "fuck this shit", and haven't seen the rest.
Juan Gomez
She trades in her asian bf for a white bf
Aiden Morales
I'm not a fan of the series but on its own Tokyo drift is a really good movie. Purely because of the juxtapose of the main character and the setting. Its incredibly original.
There's (only) three things I don't really like about the movie:
>Lucas Black Too stilted.
>Nathalie Kelley The only F&F girl who actually isn't that good looking. (Unsurprisingly she has since disappeared completely.)
>The final race It's supposed to be a japanese mountain road, but just looks like an ugly gravel pit.
If it wasn't for those three, it would be a near perfect movie!
Brayden Hughes
She's a thousand times better looking than Jewish Skeletor.
Juan Jackson
LOL, 14 year old is triggered.
No, dumbass, it didn't. I talked to guys who where there. It didn't happen. Any of it.
Dylan Collins
Which one do you mean...? Jordana Brewster? I think she looked fine when she first appeared.
Austin Butler
Tokyo drift. It's the only good movie in the series
Robert Bell
Gal Gadot
Logan Williams
The one the weaboos like you actually liked? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and you're doing some sort of reverse nerd bait but who are we kidding? You liked tokyo drift. And we all know fucking why.
Leo Collins
No, I'm pretty sure all of it happened. I think they were probably fucking with you
Nolan Jenkins
Oh yeah, she appears in the later ones too... You think she's ugly? I dunno, man. Sounds like you are in the minority.
Because it's set in tokyo. I don't care if you won't admit it. But this is Yea Forums. You like it because MMM GLORIOUS JAPAN
Nathan Peterson
Yep I mean it's secret club why they would tell this gaijin about it?
William Peterson
>people think 3 is weeb bait The main guy is the most unweeb character ever written. Thats why people love it. Its japan through the eyes of a hillbilly mechanic average joe.
You just proved yourself as a weeb That's all 4 and 5 are quite cool, too It's a retarded franchise but it is consistent with the message: family is everything, while displaying cool cars and hot Latinas It's so stupid it works
Owen Scott
>be gaijin in japan >people like you get invited to secret clubs happens
Cameron Powell
It works because it's very positive and sincere which sticks out in a era of cynicism.
Angel Martin
she leaves the japanese asshole and stops trying to fit in and instead learns to b herself
Dominic Walker
I like it because it's actually about cars not some gay muh familia drama shit
Ryan Ward
This video sums the franchise sentiment pretty well youtu.be/RgKAFK5djSk Btw, one of the most viewed videos on YouTube, with 2 BIllion views
If that did happen I suspect mr gaijin would never be seen again, because it sounds like an excuse to rob and kill him. Or maybe I'm just over cautious. I was never one to go along when someone said "Oh, come on user, it will be totally safe to go to this [place] with these people who clearly hate you."
Alexander Long
I didn't say I didn't like it. It's entertaining, sure. Accurate? Fuck no.
Carson Torres
you dont know shit user. invite only is how they keep the niggers out of their clubs.
Jace Wilson
You missed the nigger in their club?
That "club" was pure fiction.
Benjamin Rivera
nope. They reference the model trade there its a real thing.
Jaxon Cooper
I know that nothing good usually comes from following a shifty fuck to his fan for candy or puppies, user. The same applies to following guys with more tattoos and gold teeth than than braincells to a secret club but you totally can't tell anyone when or where you are going.
Parker Ortiz
user user its more like this >there are lots of people that really really find foreigners interesting and want to be your friend >they are all sorts of ordinary people >invite you to a club for drinks and dinner and karaoke Its not as crazy as you make out.
Luke Clark
How did people react to Tokyo Drift ending scene?
Gabriel Powell
How do you dislike the first movie, it has the best atmosphere
Nicholas Torres
It's so dull and boring. Nothing really happens and the ending isn't very climatic.
I dare people to rewatch the first one while pretending not to know about the sequels. Because it's actually quite baffling why it got those sequels in the first place.
Wyatt Martin
Sequels got outrageously dumb that's for sure. First movie is about stealing DVD players, last one is about stealing a nuke or whatever the fuck.
What I like about the first movie is just how quotable it is after you see it a few more times.
Joseph Hernandez
5 > 6 > 3 >1 > 7 > 4 > 2 > 8

DANKEY KANG?
Brody Miller
this post reeks of onions. if you can’t enjoy F&F with you bros you need to leave
why did teenagers in such a technologically advanced country such as japan have early 2000s flip phones in 2013?
Mason Reed
>It's so dull and boring. undercover cop busting a smuggling ring that also is some big illegal drag racer vs some high school drama that "involves" the yakuza for 20 minutes of the movie and ends happily ever after minus Han lol >Nothing really happens yes a montage of the kid learning to drift is so engaging or him fighting the school bullies >and the ending isn't very climatic. Drift endings is fucking Terreto showing up to race the dumb accent kid how is that more climatic than the first?
Eli Thomas
This film UNIRONICALLY has better chase and driving scenes than all those movies combined.
You underaged faggots will never know the wonderful feeling of going with your friends to a car meet in the early 2000s just like in the first movie. Pathetic fucking assholes
At the time there were no car movies made for the current car culture. Everything was old. McQueen is great and all but it's outdated. F&F came around and somewhat represented the car culture at the time. The cheesiness and the incorrect car shit was ignored.
Tokyo drift sucked because it didn't star the main cast, had bad actors, and the plot sucked. After that they got the message and made the franchise an action movie instead of a car movie. F&F are shit car movies btw. They barely show the racing aspect and just have shit cuts of shifting, gas pedals, and NOS. But again, they were the closest thing car guys had that represented them.
While I love the first 3 and will watch any day, I like 2 the most. The two main characters are partners and there's lots of racing. First is cute but I don't like most of the characters, third I think looks the coolest.
Isaac Gutierrez
Weeb
Christian Miller
it is a much prettier city than the dirty los angeles we got for the others
Chase Walker
I almost dropped the series after 4. That was really bad, but 5 fixed it and they went with a heist genre. I miss the racing.
OPs a busta and has probably never had a corona in his fucken life!
Elijah Harris
All I will add is that, during or about the time the first F&F movie came out, the ratio of kids who wanted to build a cool modified car to those who had the means to do so was about 100,000 to 1. In other words, you were probably more likely to be 21 and own a Ferrari than you were to be 21 and own a 700+hp Nissan Skyline with flip paint and sixty-three speakers, which somewhat undoes the "underdog" part of the film.
Never heard of it, and I'm not listening to anything by that mumbling nigger
Kayden Martin
ff2 is the most hated in the series
Landon Johnson
Real reason it was the best one
Asher Green
>>Sean is established as a conflicted and pretty interesting character from the get go Come on now, the character's story in tokyo drift is cringe as fuck.
Gavin Rogers
This, only the absolute brainded drones who dislike 3 just because brian isn't the protagonist hate 3.
Liam Lewis
True, but Tokyo Drift is unironically my favourite FF movie.
Jack Allen
I strongly suggest watching Tokyo Drift in black and white. Just go to your TV settings and reduce the colors. Seriously, give it a try. It's a whole different experience.
Brody Thompson
that's dishonest. the film maker wanted it a certain way
Jaxson Gray
It's objectively the worst so it deserves that, it fucking sucks.
John Watson
4 is the worst. It's not a competent heist movie and it's got torreto being a psychic envisioning the car crash that happened 2 is a competent action movie
Connor Brooks
>Tokyo Drift is an American fantasy of what a scene like that could be That's why I love it. I don't care what your country actually IS, I care what I think it could be based on my watching of various animes.
Imagine being Lucas Black, starring in the third movie of a huge franchise. The franchise goes on to make like 90 fucking sequels and spinoffs after you, and nobody ever calls you or pretends your character even exists in any of them. That's gotta hurt.
Ian Peterson
2 has the best villain so its ok in my book 4 was pretty mediocre but was the Segway into the modern day Furious movies
Xavier Thomas
he was going to be in the last one as a bigger part but he was hurt or something
Caleb Davis

it's not weeb to recognize japans superiority in all things, you don't even know what weeaboo means
Christopher Powell
>this weeb actually believes this lmao
Colton Fisher
I really hate a guy with no sense of dubs
Jayden Sanchez
The movie is literally about a redneck and opens with him fucking some rich kid with his 60s mustang junker
Joshua Martinez
More like wrecks that land you in jail, put multiple lives in danger, doesn't achieve anything, and in Han's case, literally gets him killed in one of the most horrific ways possible.
Joshua Scott
yeah who is a closet weeb and moves to japan to be close to his nippon overlords like the degenerate weeb he is
Jayden Watson
Japan isn't a street racing haven anymore, dumbass.
3 almost singlehandly killed the franchise. It bombed stateside, and the only reason F&F 4 came out was because it did well internationally.
Colton Price
I always love in these movies when the bad guys start bumper slapping the protagonists and neither cars violently spin out of control and crash. Shit man all it takes in real life is you to tap another vehicle at high speeds and you're fucking donezo
Also Tokyo Drift was probably just hated because dudebros don't like actual substance in their content. I'm not saying that in a derogatory way. Schlock has its own merits if it's still fun.
Tokyo drift is Yea Forumss favorite familia kino though, and you're right about everything TD managed to balance everything perfectly, its honestly the only movie that holds up
Jordan Wilson
5 is really good as an action heist movie Don't go in expecting street racing and you'll probably enjoy it
Asher Roberts
Your analysis of these movies is cringeworthy. Just stop.
Jonathan Sullivan
Well personally I really enjoyed the detailed depictions of the horrific wrecks that occur from the retarded ass shit they pull in these movies
Austin Reyes
Not as cringeworthy as the goddamn soundtracks and dialogue faget. At least I don't pretend I'm a profound writer
Camden James
normies hate 2 Toyko Drift is the favorite of the redditor
Jonathan Sanders
People love 3, even in my country where im pretty sure it was released as direct to video
