The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) - 9 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

In the main characters first race against DK, when DK is just drifting into the up ramp in the carpark, his car jumps two-three metres forwards, indicating where the driver has wiped out and they spliced in another scene. [At no point does the car jump 3 meters. It's just different angles.] Corrected by Duff "King Of Beers" Mckagan

In the scene when Sean and DK are racing down the mountain, you see the boost gauge in the Shelby spike. This is not possible, as the Turbo Nissan engine would be fitted with boost regulators such as wastegates and blow-off valves to prevent engine damage. [Almost all turbos have wastegates, even so, it is possible to see a spike in a boost gauge as it hits top boost. All the turbo vehicles I've driven have had wastegates, and all of them I have been able to send the needle into the overboost part of the gauge momentarily under heavy acceleration.]

In the scene where Han dies, you can see tyre marks on the ground where the stunt crew has been practising (particularly the part where Sean drifts through the crowded square). These marks wouldn't normally be there, as cars don't generally drift through a crowded city centre. [Tokyo is full of street racers and tuned cars. Why wouldn't people ever drift around these great drifting corners? Just because the city center is crowed during the day doesn't mean that there were never night races. Another plausibility is that the marks weren't even left by racers. It could have just been someone trying to beat the light, or breaking hard. It's not uncommon for a city as big as Tokyo to have tire marks on the roads.] Corrected by Nick Bylsma

Neela said that she was born in Australia, and raised in Japan after her parents died. Despite this, she still speaks with an Australian accent. [She doesn't indicate how old she was before she came to Japan. My ex wife spoke with a heavy Russian accent years after moving to Canada, my boss has been in Canada over 25 years, and still has a heavy Swiss accent. People don't always, in fact rarely, pick up the accent of a country they move to, instead they usually have the accent they first develop throughout their life.]

The guy sitting a couple of seats in front of the Sean (on the right side of the cute girl) on the plane to Japan is the same guy that opens the gate for Twinkie and Sean on their way to the garage where the races take place. [The two scenes take place a day apart. The guy on the plane could very well be the same guy who opens the gate.]

In nearly all the race scenes as well as the Tokyo chase scene, you can see the skid marks on the road from previous takes. [This movie is about street racers. Those turns have been taken many, many, times before by many many many other racers. I'm pretty sure that these cars weren't the first ones to ever race the streets of Tokyo, the skid marks were left by previous racers that were not seen in the movie.] Corrected by Nick Bylsma

In the scene where Twinkie is showing Sean his hulk car, when the garage opens, the first vehicle you see is a car, then the shot shows Sean and Twinkie. When it cuts back to the garage, you can see the car has changed into a bike. [The cars and bikes are on a rotating elevator, when they first show the car the elevator begins to rotate so when the scene switches to Twinkie and Sean and back that is why you now see a bike.]

In the scene where twinkle first shows his car to Sean, you see that it is a plan green hulk VW, but 2 secs later when they turn up to the multistory carpak for the meet/drift race, it has a set of 4 tryes on the roof. you first see it at 19:20 then look again at 19:30 and you will see the tryes. [When you first see the van, it doesn't have tires on the roof. In between scenes, there is a deleted scene which shows them stopping at a gas station and boosting tires, which were put on the roof. These are the tires seen when they arrive at the car park. The tires were owed to one of the other racers.]

Keiko Kitagawa who plays Reiko may be better known to japanese fans as "Rei" from the live action show "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon". [As stated in the rules, pointing out what other movies or TV shows a paticular actress has been in is not valid trivia.]
