How FAST AND FURIOUS Created Modern Car Culture | Donut Media 

Top 10 things scientists still cannot explain... 1. How Fast And Furious went from street racing to mission impossible

It's funny how Tokyo Drift is considered the worst out of the first 3. Even though it had none of the original cast, it had the best cars and was the first to introduce drifting to the series, which is now a staple. Not to forget Han.

Fun fact: Han's character was supposed to be a chain smoker but they felt that it might send the wrong message to their viewers, so they had him become a constant snacker instead.

But don’t let this distract you that hector is gonna be running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines and on top of that he just went into Harry’s and he ordered 3 t66 turbos with NOS and a motec exhaust.

The RB26 powered Mustang is such an underrated movie hero.

Ironically Tokyo Drift was the biggest hit amongst real car guys

Donut: "Tokyo Drift was the worst of the series." Comments: "Well yes, but actually no."

People didn't like Tokyo Drift? How did I not know about this? It's my 2nd favorite movie out of all of them!

“People liked Han” .... yea bc he didn’t Ls swap his rx7

Tokyo’s Drift is is underrated, no matter what anyone says that movie has sparked interest and the culture for Japan and it’s cars

NGL the best movie was Tokyo Drift The music, japanese culture, japanese cars, drifting and the nostalgic early 2000s I just love that movie

My dad works for shipping props and cars for the movies he got to meet Paul, he told me he was so down to earth and kindness person.🙏🏽💙❤️

I love how when ever a F&F movie comes out there is basically a car meet/show in the parking lot before hand

Fast N Furious 20,Drifting on Uranus's rings

"...we found out they were making another one. I was sixteen" I never felt so old so fast.

This was so emotional man, almost cried at the end, for real

"People may not of liked Tokyo drift." Have you read the comments, tokyo drift has probably become the most iconic of the series.

Fast and the furious, Gran Turismo 1 and 2, and need for speed underground really started my whole car obsession. Those were the good days!

as a 30 year owner of a 71 monte carlo, my favorite was the "First 10 Minutes" of tokyo drift

“The actor who played Vince” lmao

But Tokyo Drift had Keiichi Tsuchiya. Don't know how that wasn't the best one.

For me, the series ended with Tokyo Drift. 4 and next ones are about explosions, action, supercars. My favourite is Tokyo Drift, JDM rules.

The ending of the Furious7 is soul melting.

These car shows and races really started in the retro 50's and retro 60's. Back then the car shows and races were all about retro-futurism. That needs to come back.

Veilside RX7 is one of the most gorgeous things on 4 wheels ...

You've only seen F&F 15 times?! Those are rookie numbers.

_We need a FF Tokyo Drift 2 Sequel!_

At this point the fast and the furious cast might as well fight the avengers

Do Up to Speed Holden Commodore or Holden Torana or Holden Monaro

But does Fixd tell you if you have danger to your manifold?!?!

Every car guy ever: "I know I'm alone on this because I have such authentic taste so for ME tokyo drift is the best one"

I feel like a huge point was missed by not speaking more about Paul and his untimely death. He was a passionate car guy and even died enjoying one of the pinnacle supercars ever made in a terrible accident. He was a great representative for automotive enthusiasm and it sucks that he’s gone. I think we all identified with him a lot and he made the franchise infinitely more authentic.

As far as a pure car movie goes Tokyo drift was the best by far imo, they say when they made the first one they weren't expecting many actual car enthusiasts to go see it (I don't why they didn't but apparently they didn't) and I assume the same for a second. With Tokyo Drift it feels like they finally caught on that real car enthusiasts were into the movies so they went to actually accommodate to real car enthusiasts, and aside from it lacking the og cast it definitely delivered, I mean Keiichi Tsuchiya was a stunt coordinator and made a cameo, no normal audience member would have any idea who he is, he was just some Japanese actor to them

I really liked Tokyo Drift

I feel like getting kicked out of a 4 year (esp when it’s a party school) and going to community is the best thing to happen to A LOT of people lol

Goosebumps when they showed the ending of F7, See you again part. No mention of Gesal along with Han.

Tokyo Drift has a special place in my heart, i actually liked it the most despite not liking the main character

After Tokyo Drift, Fast and Furious turn into a Mission Impossible movie

When the original FnF came out, I was 20 years old and worked full time at an oil change shop, then straight to 8 hours of a college mechanics program, then home to work on my car. 6 days a week. I LIVED cars! When that movie let out from theaters, EVERYONE leaving the theater with a tuner, hit the freeway to go race each other. So often, that you could tell everytime the movie let out. Everyone raced EVERYWHERE! It was a GREAT time in American/"auto-ficianado" culture. FAR better than the garbage fake news/politics that we have today. I am a fan of politics, you could say, BUT, I will, & have, told EVERYONE that I know when the subject comes up, I would GLADLY trade every single tech advancement that we have today, for it to be, pre-OBD2, 1995 forever!!!

Fun observation - The plot of the first F&F is basically Point Break with import cars. The reason why these newer FF movies are huge in the box office is because they were shown in China, there's a big growth in middle class there and it's a massive market for films, it's the same reason why Transformers and Avenger movies are raking in so much money.

I became interest in car because Han Rx-7 from Tokyo Drift. The best F&F ever.

TOKYO DRIFT IS AMAZING it may be the red headed step child but I love it

Tokyo Drift flopped? Seriously? That is probably my favourite of the entire series.

I still remember in 2001 after the movie ppl were acting up in parking lot

When i was in high school, i downloaded the fast and the furious on limewire. It ended up being porn. Needless to say the rest is history, and now i walk with a limp with one forearm far stronger than the other.

Tokyo Drift was my favorite, surprised it did so bad. My list goes: 1. Tokyo Drift 2. Fast and the Furious (1) 3. 2 Fast 2 Furious 4. Fast and Furious (4) And that’s all of them

Today is the 20th anniversary of the opening of Fast & the Furious. Man, time sure does fly.

Its time for a part two. Great video!

And ironically enough, Tokyo Drift is the best movie of the bunch, by a long shot. Not just BECAUSE of the casting, but the story is actually something that'll get a non-car person emotionally invested, it has the coolest fucking rides of them all and it delivers dramatically. Something none of the others do.

Rest in peace Paul. Someone finally mentioned the RB26 Mustang. Yes!

“Fast food for the eyes” well no wonder I love it😂😂

For a long time my fav F&F car was the yellow Veilside NSX that was in a few background shots in Tokyo Drift

Uh, they didn’t say it, but I think the main reason FF7 and 8 made so much is because of Paul Walker

Tokyo Drift is 'rock bottom'? This is one of the best in the entire series. Every movie after the 3rd was nonsensical action garbage.

I saw this movie 8 times in the theatre. As a teen, I watched this a few times a day. As an adult, I watched it once a day. 15 times is a rookie number. Gotta pump those numbers up, my friend. I’ve seen this film hundreds of times.

Definitely my favorite out of all of them..just watch it on tbs at like 3am a few days ago...

Tokyo Drift was the best f&f and i stand by that

R.I.P Paul Walker

Even though Tokyo drift didn’t have paul its still one of my favorite faf movie

my eyes were full of water when walker and dom raced the last time in their supra and chargers resp. miss that guy... if he was alive the F&F movies were gonna be at another level...........

AND HECTORS GONNA BE RUNNING 3 HONDA CIVICS WITH SPOON ENGINES

Lowkey tho, Tokyo Drift was the best out of all in the franchise, it sparked something in the lot of us that the others couldn't. It was magical to say the least.

People say that their is too much action and lesser cars but still it's great

September 11, 2021... The part between 2:46 to 2:58 still gives me goosebumps...

I fkn love how people dont stop talking bout Tokio Drift is the best movie. Amazing

Yeah as corny as 99% of the dialogue was that scene in the garage with the charger was probably one of the most iconic and relatable for a lot of car guys. A lot of people came to love vehicles because of the times spent with a parent or sibling wrenching, cruising, and racing. And think we have all had that car or that "Unicorn" that scared the shit out of us or never quite had the best of luck with.

The last scene in fast 7 makes me cry almost every time

The soundtrack on Toyko drift was sick

Even tho it bombed, Tokyo drift is one of my favs

The first one and Tokyo drift are my favourite for different reasons, the characters and the feeling of my youth vs the drift and cars, the other movies of the series are to me more like a classic recipe of a hollywood action movie than movies in an actual fast and furious spirit

Bravo Nolan! Great video!

Fast and furious isn't just a movie, but a way of life.

Streets closed pizza boy, find another way home!

Legend has it that hector is gonna be running three Honda civics with spoon engines...ext

the original Fast and Furious will always hold a special place in my heart. It is THE reason I'm a so-called "car guy" today. I'm 33 now, and can remember buying Import Tuner mags and looking and tits and body kits in middle school. I wish I still had one of those laying around, the nostalgia hit would be awesome.

Finally someome who appreciates the first movie for more than just the cars, the good character moments and a great undercover movie

This is why EA games made their under Ground series.

F&F is the best example of an RPG campaign gone off the rails and the DM just rolling with it.

Great vid!

Paul would be proud how far this series got and is going

Tokyo Drift is easily in my top favorites of the Fast & Furious series. I also cried during this 😭💕

After the third movie (Tokyo Drift) FF franchise turned into another action movie not centered around cars, but centered around ppl walking away from explosions and shit

I worked in a movie theater when the Fast and the Furious came out and it was a packed showing for weeks on end.

Craig Lieberman, the car consultant for the movies has a great channel that describes his time and many frustrations with the directors and producers.

still figuring out why the heck that floor pan fell off...

Yes, finally someone actually giveing credit to the first Fast and the Furious, for me it was the best one of the whole franchise ;D. Oh yeah, everything after Tokyo Drift was shit, that was when they started to ditch street racing for real brainless action, at least in my opinion ;D.

My favorite car from the franchise is the Letty's Plymouth Barracuda. It doesn't get much spotlight, but I love those cars.

Fast and Furious also made car shows and racing really popular again.

It’s funny because the 1st faf and Tokyo drift were my favorite movies. Tokyo drift was really underrated.

Ja Rule is more famous for that line, than he is for music.

With Tokyo Drift being integrated into the story it’s actually now one of my favourite movies in the series

What an episode Nolan!

tokyo drift is so underrated. Probably the only other movie in the series besides 1 that isnt some sort of box office action/heist film. in many ways, its more accurate of the car scene/people than 1. 1 was good, but i have to admit that 1 was more of a hiest movie that involved cars. Tokyo drift was more of car movie: a guy thrown into a new world and culture, and we got to see his process and growth. The scene where the girl and main guy drives through the mountain at night...car people love that kind of stuff. Just driving at night with you and your machine in a state of bliss. They also had 2 iconic drift cars in the scene: Signal Auto's copper s13 and the Falken RX7. And an amazing song choice for that scene too!

I CALL FOR A RETURN TO FORM!!! who else thinks the fast franchise needs to strip cars of their super powers and do some more street racing?

great video. you said it perfectly, nolan.

This franchise knows what it is. The movies are over the top stupid fun and that is why I love them.

I’m 19 I was born January 2001, my parents to this day remind me that the first fast and the furious was the first movie that I watched all the way through without getting distracted. I was maybe 18 months old, I rewatched the movie at least weekly up until I was about 8. We didn’t have cable or internet to see when movies were released. Tokyo drift just came too theaters and I went too a cousins house and saw he had a movie called 2 fast 2 furious. He told me it was the next movie in the franchise and he told me a third one was coming out soon too. I still remember how excited I was to watch the movie as I watched that universal logo turn into the wheel on the truck. Literally the next day the cousin took me to see Tokyo Drift. I started to go and see each movie that came out after until 7. He moved further away so we don’t see each other as much but he still tells me about that time I came over and I ended up watching that 2 fast 2 furious. I grew up with these movies and I love all of them, even the newer ones. I don’t really care about how they turned away from car culture because it wasn’t only the cars I looked forward too. I love the characters energy with each other and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. When Paul died I was devastated. It was one of my dreams to meet him and it still kind of hurts knowing I never will. Life goes on, the first three movies are my whole childhood and I love them so much. Thanks if you read this far 😂 have a good day

Tbh tokyo drift was easily my favourite. It sucks how the movies are now less and less about nodded cars and more and more about stunts, but I understand its for wider appeal and ticket sales. Just sucks because theres no alternative

When at the end of the video the said song and Brian and Dom were splitting up it almost made me cry

own em, love em! ...& as a 30+ year 1st gen monte carlo owner, my favorite is the 1st 15 minutes of tokyo... right up to the point they flipped "my car" aaarg!!! (haha) ...another great video, thanx guys
