“Tokyo Drift” is definitely the most underrated film in the franchise. The lack of both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in leading roles seemed to place a dark cloud over an otherwise entertaining movie.
Some of the best actual driving in the franchise!
it is entertaining and a journey for Sean
Totally agree
It’s because people hate when you start a franchise then replace them different actors. I like Tokyo drift but prefer walker and diesel. I’m glad Tokyo drift boys got to return in fast 9.
Tokyo drift was my fave movie of the series. I liked 1 and 2 and td. I didn't like anything after that
Its a testament to the film that I never noticed the cg. Tokyo Drift is the most underrated film in the series.
IMO the Shibuya-scene is one of the best scenes in Fast & Furious overall. Funny enough that Tokyo Drift is my favourite FF movie even though i love Paul Walker as Brian.
Same
the purest cars and tuner movies out of all FF franchise
@@nabilbudiman271 exactly why
It makes me glad that I ain’t the only one who’s fav fast movie is tokyo drift
The best scene is the first street race in ff1
I think the CGI of the movie is far more believable and lifelike compared to the newer movies
There's load of new movies that have scenes that don't even look like CG
ehh some scenes its good and others it hasn't aged well. Tokyo drift used a lot of practical stunts, but some scenes like where sean drifts the red Evo on the highway look pretty fake.
That’s because they aren’t stupid unbelievable stunts like the new FF movies. I hate the new ones
Thank you for sorting this out there a stupid post on IG saying they used a fake director to take a fall for filming in in Japan and he went jail.
This is correct, and Craig mentioned in another video as well. You have to understand that even shooting simple scenes which they did is illegal if it's obstructing pedestrians and their surroundings (good luck trying to blend in with whole film crew lol).
It’s sad that a movie about actual racing is less popular
Wow that's crazy, didn't realize there was so much cg involved. They really pulled it off well!
That's actually seriously impressive especially since I do video work as well. I would have never guessed that most of the film was not shot in Japan. The car stunts, sure, but the actual location not being in Japan? Wow, Tokyo Drift should have gotten an Oscar nomination at least.
The only real thing is..the Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya fishing while watching Sean practice😆
Tokyo Drift was very realastic even without filming the major scenes on Tokyo.
They did ma boy Sean dirty in F9....
Hell yes they did it was a shame, actually made the three of them look stupid unfortunately.
Massacred my boy
My whole life was a lie😂😂
Ahhh Yes.

Me: so then which is it? is this like a glitch in the matrix?
Tokyo Drift is seriously underrated, I still dont understand why this movie is slept on.
Also its the movie which is most about street racing in the entire franchise.
Next livestream: "Hey did you know Tokyo Drift was not filmed in Tokyo?!" 🤣
14:42 and 14:48 next time ask before you steal my content :)
Btw this is not even from the movie, this is my own personal project
Relax buddy
@@Kyler_951 He has every right to express his opinion/concerns this way
Especially considering that he did not receive any credit what so ever.
I agree with Rik
Steffen has every right to point out that his work got used without his permission.
@@Kyler_951 yeah working on a personal project for months and relax when you see that after this many hour of work a random stranger comes and uses your content without asking or crediting... go home you are drunk...
The answer to this is simple! All he has to do is put "with Steffen Hampel 'style' five seconds" in the description since that apparently absolves all copyright infringement...if this dudes channel is anything to go off...did he ask the Studio who owns Blade Runners lawyers before stealing their work? Or contacted Mike Pondsmith before stealing his?....
So.. it must be a " LOS ANGELES DRIFT " 🤭
yea hahahaha lmaoo Ienva

Tokyo drift was an underrated technical work of art
It will never be the same now when I watch this movie. It is amazing how they do all the cg. Even all this AI stuff today.
AI…you mean artificial intelligence?
"Can I get a copy of that?"
I know there was no way they could have blocked the famous shibuya crossing even for a few minutes for a such a dangerous scene, but it still blows my mind thinking about it
I still remember watching this on HBO when I was a kid in my dad's apartment. It was the first fast and furious movie I've ever watched. Would've been nice if they added those deleted scenes to give more depth to the story but yeah I understand every movie has a time limit. And now after I've watched every fast movie, this still, for me, goes on the top of my list.
Everyone always badmouthed Tokyo drift when it came out only because the original cast wasn't in it. I watched it and enjoyed it very much and didn't care about the original cast being absent. I was curious what the story was for them as we never got a conclusion. But it didn't hurt the movie for me.
I'm sure there was a story by Craig that the drift through the busy intersection scene was filmed for real in Japan and a Japenese guy was hired to pretend to be the director, so when they got caught he spent the night in jail instead of the actual director?
That’s right, I remember that too! I don’t know which video it was though
It wasn’t the drift through the busy instersection, it was some other scene.
It was the sumo guy when sean said okane
if you've been to japan before you could tell most of the racing was filmed in LA. Like the parking garage definitely didn't look like japan, and the big tunnel before shibuya was obviously Grand avenue in Downtown LA. Also the mountain scenes were definitely not japan since some of the signs and road markings were wrong.
Great video, Tokyo Drift made me a carguy when i was 4 years old and is still my favorite F&F Movie to this day with F&F 1
Tokyo Drift was not filmed in Tokyo?
My childhood was a big fat lie 😂
So true
They named a neighbourhood driveway after a decepticon transformer. Lol Warpath
5:45 they did a great job making it look and feel like japan
Still the best F&F in my opinion. Wish they could do a new franchise with a similar vibe without having anything to do with the F&F story.
That sumo wrestler "with the paw" got arrested while filming in Japan and spent a night in jail in Justin's place
Tokyo drift still holds the most impressive shots and rich cinematic story of all movies. the cars and locations make the movie so good. the VFX companies did a really impressive job on this and should have won awards because it convinced mostly everyone the movie was filmed in Japan.
That’s incredibly impressive and definitely a trick that has carried on today. Having a convincing looking location that is CG makes movies all that much better and more convincing.
This just makes me like Toyko drift way more now
I was fooled always thought was Japan and some little parts filmed in La
me too lol
My life is a lie
You really thought, all of this time, that this was really filmed in Japan?
@@paulcarmi8130 No shit it looked so real when I was 7
@@luisonnaz125 oof. That has ta' hurt!
@@paulcarmi8130 pretty sure it was sarcasm
@@FishFind3000 read his second comment, doesn't look like sarcasm
Even know my childhood days
I thought the really film it in Tokyo but once I researched it I was completely shock, plus this visual effects are amazing it really feels like your in Tokyo, unbelievable
Without Tokyo Drift I will never become in love Tokyo, Tokyo Drift is the reason why I wanted to go to Japan
And it is an amazing movie, I one my favorite movies of all
Sean went from drifting to rocket science, fucking writers...
It just works.

My childhood is now ruined
Seems like many don't really know that it's a very common practice for film/TV productions to not actually film at the actual location the storyline supposedly takes place in.
Some or most people won't see it or know, except for the ones an eagle eye or live in those cities. They can spot the difference. Toronto is used a lot, especially back in the 90's Its' why you see the Space needle in shots and go "I didn't know "insert city name here" had that building lol
Wow hats off to everyone who had a part in making this movie! One of the best movies in the franchise in my opinion.
Very informative video. I would never have imagined how much work went into producing these scenes. Scenes which have stood the test of time. Loved the film as its focus was still on cars. Thanks.
I loved Tokyo Drift when it came out. It's still my favorite Fast&Furious movie.
spoiler alert, craig made this crystal clear years ago.
Fun fact: The episodes of Breaking Bad where Walt is hiding out in "New Hampshire" were filmed in New Mexico as well
Fun Fact 2: Many of the scenes in the 2003 film Lost in Translation, also set in Tokyo, were also shot guerrilla style.
what the... next thing we know, someone says Star Wars was not filmed in space :/
damn didnt realize it had so much cg, guess that means they did their job excellently
Actually I'm shocked after all these informations in this video. Like wow... I was like 6-7 years old when this movie came out and always had a special place in my heart, but now knowing all these details and background stuffs... it completely changes how I overview this whole movie (and in a positive way). It's literally an insane amount of work done in the right way, so mad salute to everyone who worked on this project!!
This makes me sad because this movie was one of the reasons I went to Japan, and boy it clearly done a good job in doing so. Even watching it back now it looks unbelievable how you just assume they are in Japan in all the scenes. When I went to the Futsul pitch in Tokyo no listened to the song that was played in the movie. If you haven’t been to Japan PLEASE DO
I wish you could talk to some of the vfx companies and go deep into the details of this incredible real-life looking scenes.
I’ve been bamboozled I swear I believed it all and I’ve moved to japan for 8 years I really feel offended
It's like Transformers 2 I think the part when they were filming with the Pyramids I think that was filmed in New Mexico That's the port where you see devastator
Hey Craig, can you explain why the 240sx was selected 3 times in the franchise as well as the r34 gtr?
Sure. Because both of these cars were super popular back then -- and still are today.
At least they tried, they did a hell of a job to make it aunthentic
If I'm not mistaken, there was a rumor that got floated around that "Armageddon" wasn't actually filmed on a asteroid either, but it hasn't been confirmed or denied
I loved that movie, even though im really surprised that it wasnt filmed in japan
The scene at 19:11 was the big giveaway for me that said this was not done in Tokyo. Besides recognizing the intersection of Wilshire & Hope when Han shows Sean why he drifts, how often does an MTA bus make a cameo appearance in a film that is reportedly set in Tokyo?
So the big plot twist is Tokyo Drift is LA Drift!
Lmao!😅🤣
😂
The last race in the touge was obviously not Japan. It didn’t have guard rails.
Also it wasnt through forest/jungle which is what almost all Japanese touge courses were.
Needed more trees to be convincing.
Today I feel very blessed to be close enough to make the trip to this location. Anyone from norcal is welcome to come 👍 I definitely want to start a rally there and back
seeing a 4th gen maxima in the scene where they're chasing han ruined the illusion for me already lol
Same lol
Watched it last night, had no idea the Tokyo square scenes were cgi
If you have all of seans evo 8 specs can you make a video of it
I released that video (Tokyo Drift Evo) months ago.
Still my favourite F&F movie. They even paid respect to the real "Drift King", Keiichi Tsuchiya. He was one of the fisherman on the dock where Sean learns how to drift.
AFAIK, Tsuchiya was also one of the drivers for the drifting scenes. Maybe Craig has some info whether that is true or not. He may have covered it in another video.
He was a driver. He was in the tokyo drift dvd extras interviewed about it. He laughed saying it was challenging trying to drift like a beginner would lol
Lucas Black’s forehead has gotten a good bit bigger. He must still be growing.
I always love it when they are filming through the windshield and the cars shift lever is in park
Are the scene where Sean drives Han's Fortune RX-7 at the Tokyo Expressway were filmed on the real road (lol, in Japan or in USA) or it's a CGI?
*LIES DECEPTION MY LIFE HAS BEEN RUINED*
xD
Tokyo Drift is my favorite movie of all 9 of them.
Yes, I have used off the record, $87 2 point ticket reduced to $47 no points!
i knew that some of the movie wasnt filmed in japan but wow now i know pretty much most of it was not. makes the movie so much better! to this day it still looks like it was filmed there, they did a great job
I can’t imagine they put that green screen behind the Car Parking Lot, it was so cool.
when i was kid , i even asked my aunt who had lived in japan in that particular time if she ever seen the filming in tokyo 😂
Exactly this why we enjoy studying a Gnomon school of VFX 🎬
Damn, people think you have to go to alien planets like in Star Wars or the super hero movies to use so many incredible SFXs, but what alien place on earth thank Tokyo to have digitally rendered and the movie makers making us believe they went there, just incredible.
My childhood is a lie now 😅
mines too i always thought it was filmed in tokyo liars
The map shows the road by the san Gabriel dam to be relatively short compared to the race itself. Makes me wonder where else they filmed that last race between Sean and DK.
Tokyo Drift is my all time favorite car movie, Need for Speed is a close second.
keep em coming Craig!! love these vids!
It truly is movie magic, awesome video man :)
Y'all love tokyo drift more than the other franchise!
gold content!
a criticism of the video, these glitches cuts are terrible to watch, i think if your editor only uses dry cuts it would be better!
Still pretty much my Fav FF movie besides the 1st 1
It was not filmed in Tokyo instead in Kyoto
So where did they film the Japanese School did they use CGI?
After seeing your explanation It is really pretty amazing. I pretty much figured out that the construction for the Monte Carlo race and the interior stuff could be anywhere but I really thought the Tokyo scenes were actually in Tokyo so, wow! I've have been saying it for years though... some day there won't be real flesh and blood actors anymore. All the characters will be CGI creations owned by the studios that create them. Movie companies will have to 'hire' the virtual as a lease from the creator company. Gone will be the day of putting up with prissy actors and all those problems. Everything will be done in a studio and no one will know the difference (or care).
Tokyo Drift is my favourite Fast and Furious film because of how different it is to all the others.
Very good video Craig 👍. I like the content. I have seen people working with maya and Houdini. Making lights matching on the models and the smoke must had been difficult. Very good video 👌
The dissapointment bro, but i'm happy because i found a setting for a sequel of my dream FF inspired movie, and WILL BE FILMED IN JAPAN, perhaps the difficulties
Best F&F
5:08 That oil pumpjack looks like cgi
This sounds like a thesis that worth for nobel prize lmao
Definitely my favorite FF movie, behind the original FF flick!
What kills me is the production staff makes nothing compared to the actors. It should be the other way around, bc the production crew does all the work.
99% of things are not filmed where the place that the characters are in.
Damn thats sad the parking garage is abandoned :(
Better special effects that the current ones.
So the scene where Steve Rogers chase a Hydra agent was shot in Manchester because the buildings look so 40's Brooklyn. Yep,that's California Doubling to us.
I dreamed of drifting in Tokyo but now I don't think it is possible
