    A perfunctory and unintentionally goofy attempt to keep the series running without its stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.

    Similar to its two predecessors in melodrama and gloss, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift follows in its own tradition of quality.

    Chicago Tribune June 15, 2006

    For all its crashes and flash, this is a movie that drifts away as we watch it. Muscle cars and all, it’s often a waste of gas.

    The racing sequences are the series' meat and potatoes, but in terms of story, Tokyo Drift barely offers a stalk of asparagus.

    Spinoff car-porn, a dynamic oriental bridge between the sixth and seventh Fast and the Furious films. Cult music and spectacular rides available. Half an hour before the end, a serious crime begins for show, but this is such a strong street racing ashcon with beer.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    a breath of fresh Japanese air with the smell of gasoline and burnt rubber. the epic chase through the night Tokyo takes your breath away with its coolness and action, and its ending devastates you until the end of the film. Han and Twinkie are great characters. glad they appear in other parts. cameo at the end

    Translated to English

    It’s ironic that the film takes too long to get to the finish line. As the Japanese proverb goes, "OOO if a nail is too thick, you should hammer it in and not drag it out with a leash OOO" And the director should be held criminally liable for exploitation of a child, since the main actor is obviously under 18.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    The legendary third fast and furious. The latest fast and furious about street racing and with the best soundtrack. Ironically, Tokyo Drift collected the least box office, but had the greatest impact on car culture than all other films combined. 9.5/10

    This part would have been watchable if it had been without the baboon-intellectual protagonist played by the balding Black. Drifts and Japanese flavor are ok, everything else is weak. 6 is a stretch.

    How it works? Why does the third afterburner have lower ratings than the sixth, for example??? Who are these people who give the 4th and subsequent Fast and Furious films high marks? Why? Where is the logic? Everything was filmed here in a cool way. The only thing that a middle-aged schoolboy actor plays is a joint…

    Events take place in Japan. And this is not without reason, because it was in this country that drifting originated in the 60s. In one episode, the fisherman is the real king of drift – Keiichi Tsuchiya.

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Tokyo Drift is a good racing film with a hint of drama, incredibly spectacular racing (drift is more dynamic than drag) and a light flair of imitation of oriental wisdom. A completely different fast and furious film, but still with racing and watchable. Like

    Drift! Drift for babes!! Drift in pursuits!!! Even remembering what the series has degenerated into, it is impossible to justify the on-screen pathos with just one gorgeous drift. The film really inclines one to believe that all the problems are because of babes: without the blonde from the beginning and the flirtatious Nila Khan would be alive. Oh, yes, the 9th film…
