Buckle up folks, we’re going drifting with the third installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, 2006’s Tokyo Drift. The red-headed stepchild of this series, this film takes us to Tokyo inside the city’s street racing culture of drifting: basically just pulling your emergency brake at a high rate of speed. Anyway, the story involves goofy redneck Sean going to Tokyo where he comes under the mentorship of the lovable Han & runs afoul of the failson of the local Yakuza boss. They tried something different with this one but clearly, the series had tapped out on street racing stories, so this film brought back a certain mumble-mouthed star to begin this franchise’s ascent to billion-dollar business. Plus, we talk COVID vaccine stories as we anticipate moving into the After Times.
