The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

When Sean is first given the red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, his numerous collisions while practicing around the harbor tear off the rear spoiler.

When he starts practicing on the hills, the EVO has no spoiler, but when he first drives uphill, the spoiler is on the trunk.

Subsequent shots show the EVO without the spoiler.

During the Tokyo street chase, D.

rams and bumps Shawn's EVO, damaging his Nissan Fairlady Z.

After Han's RX-7 is destroyed, the Z has very few scratches or dents.

When Han's car blows up, a character in the driver seat disappears when the flames rise.

When Twinkie tries to sell Sean a laptop and phone when they first meet in the school canteen, Sean has some food between his chopsticks.

It disappears and reappears between shots.

In the final race with D.

, the spoiler on his car falls off.

It reappears in the next shot.

When Han teaches Sean to drive his Evo on the pier, the camera zooms in on the right left tire.

Sparks appear on the right of the screen, from the camera boom hitting the pavement.

In the final moments of the last race between D.

and Sean, the Fairlady Z sideswipes the Mustang and loses its passenger side light.

drives up the side of the hill, where small trees and shrubs knock out the driver's headlight.

In subsequent scenes, the driver's headlight is attached and working.

When Neela breaks up with D.

, her tie suddenly changes from hanging on her left to hanging straight down the middle.

In the beginning, when a baseball is thrown through the back window of Sean's car.

In the next shot, from a higher viewpoint, the car stops, and the window is intact.

In the next shot, it is broken again.

Shortly after Twinkie's Volkswagen Touran "Hulkmobile" minivan is introduced, Shawn and Twinkie drive off.

In the next scene, when the Touran enters the car park, a set of tires appear on its roof.

In a deleted scene, Reiko and Earl steal tires from a gas station.

When Sean races Cray, and parallels with the black truck, the camera and cameraman riding on his car are reflected in the truck's paint.

When Sean races with Cray, just before he turns to the dirt path, the Viper is in the shade of a house.

From the air, the Viper is in a sunny spot.

When the baseball goes through Sean's car window, the driver puts the car in park.

(The shifter could be mounted on the steering wheel, but it's not clear).

The car has a clutch during the race, yet the floor shifter is semi-automatic.

During Sean and D.

's first race in the garage, the cars' lights are alternately on and off throughout the race.

When Lucas Boswell hits the nitrous in the Veilside RX-7, the rev counter shows the revs continually rising, but the engine sounds like the revs are maxing out.

FLIPPED SHOTWhen the Viper hits the concrete pipe, the interior shot of the airbags deploying shows the passenger seat empty, and the film is flipped so it looks like a right-hand drive.

In the beginning of the movie, when the baseball is thrown at Sean's car, it goes past him and lands on the passenger floorboard.

In the next shot, the ball falls to the ground, with glass landing behind the rear tire, as if the ball had been thrown from inside the car.

During the first race, in America, the Viper drives through a shadow of the house before Sean takes the shortcut between the houses.

When the camera moves out and shows both cars from above, the shadow is gone.

When Sean and Neela eat Japanese food on their first date, Neela puts the chopsticks in the box.

When the camera focuses on Sean with Neela in the foreground, she is holding the chopsticks again.

When the camera cuts back to Neela, the chopsticks are back in the box.

If Twinkie was a military brat, his license plate would have a Japanese symbol that looks like a "Y" on the left side.

Military members and their families with cars in Japan are required to have "Y" plates.

Sean's father is credited as "Major Boswell".

In a scene where he is in Naval uniform, his shoulder board clearly displays the two full stripes of a full Lieutenant, and the collar insignia, while improperly gold, also has the two bars of a Lieutenant.

The rank of full Lieutenant in the Navy is O-3.

Major is used in the Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force, but not the Navy.

It's O-4; the Naval equivalent is Lieutenant Commander.

Major is denoted by a gold oak leaf cluster, not twin silver bars.

A Lieutenant Commander in the Navy also carries the gold oak leaf cluster on his collar, and the shoulder board carries two full strips and one half strip between.

During Sean's first practice run in the Evo IX, a fisherman makes a snide remark in Japanese, translated as "You call that drifting?" The correct translation is "Counter-steer is late, huh?" When Sean leaves Han's shop, the half-closed garage door hits Sean's car just above the windshield, and scrapes along the roof of the car.

In the next shot, the car is not damaged.

Various boosted cars (such as the RX-7) do not make the signature sounds of upgraded turbocharged cars throughout the film, such as the turbo spooling and the blow-off valve, until they "hit the nitrous.

" Nitrous does not change the car's sound.

When Han and Sean are in the RX-7 and talking, the engine tone shifts at least 7 times, as if the car has 7 or 8 gears, most of which have the same ratio and thus engine tone.

Sean's hands remain on the steering wheel throughout the drive, yet the shifts still occur.

In addition, they do not have the pitch a manual car would have (revs dropping from engaging the clutch, then shifting into the next gear).

The two transmission choices for the car were a 4 speed automatic and a 5 speed manual.

This is a recurring mistake in the Fast and Furious movie line.

The sign at the sheriff's department says Oro Valley was founded in 1919.

It was actually founded in 1974.

During the first race between the Monte Carlo and Viper, the starter pulls off her bra and throws it in the air.

It lands about 10 feet in front of the two cars.

Both drivers shift gears, accelerate for a few seconds, then drive past the bra, which is now 100 to 200 feet from where it landed.

punches Sean in the mouth, and his lips are bleeding.

Moments later, his eye is black.

In the next scene, his eye and lips are fine.

When Sean and Han escape Han's shop, they drift while trying to evade D.

and his crew.

They would have much better chance if they drove in a clean line, instead of drifting, which makes the car much slower.

When Sean, Neela, D.

, and Sean's dad meet after Han's accident, the camera is near the headlight of the Fairlady Z.

Light circles appear for a few seconds, in the bottom right of the screen, where the lens of the camera caused distortion from the headlights.

It is unrealistic that Sean would attend a regular Japanese high school since he does not even speak Japanese.

American military families are provided with English schools for "army brats.

" When Sean is walking past the cars before speaking with Neela in the parking garage, you see a golden Toyota Supra behind him on his right.

He then looks to the left, and it shows a close-up of the girl sitting on the Supra, which is to the right of the camera.

Additionally, in the next shot, he looks left, and the Toyota Supra is well behind him.

First off, let me start saying this film is very different from the first two. While they had a great plot and a story well written, "Tokyo Drift" intended more in action scenes without much character development or interesting behaviors.

The plot wasn't bad, but it was a bit wired that Japanese people in this film are not Japanese at all. Furthermore all the Japanese are stupid in the film.

(Plot) Alienated teenager Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) Moves to Tokoyo in order to avoid jail time, and moves in with his strict Father. This makes matter worse as Sean becomes involved in the world of street racing.

After I have seen and heard awful reviews, this movie was quite a surprised to me. Sure it does not feature Paul Walker or Vin Disel!?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...this is the best darn Fast n Furious chapter on the track by miles (puns away!

The first true side story in the Fast & Furious saga. We leave behind both Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and instead focus on Sean Bowell (Lucas Black), an Arizona youngster, who gets into trouble with his reckless driving and gets sent to Japan to live with his father.

To be honest, this has nothing to do with the franchise storywise. Sure, it contains a lot of car chasing and racing but overall this should have been given another title, leave out The Fast And The Furious, should just have been called Tokyo Drift.
