Other mistake: Sean is seventeen, and he goes to high school (and without knowing a word of Japanese, he somehow gets by). Neela is a classmate of his, so she should be around his age; she was raised in Japan. When she drives him down the mountain road she starts a nostalgic reminiscence about the time when she got her license "Once I got my license, I practically lived up here. Back then, kids just drove what they had. You know, we just made do. No one bothered us." She's reciting lines like she's an old lady talking about ye days of old; she's supposed to be a teenager! And you get a driving license in Japan at 18, she shouldn't even have one, and if she did, she got it very recently. (01:01:00)

Trivia: When Sean is learning how to drift at the docks, the fisherman that comments about his drifting is actually the real Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. The comments about betting on the '72 Skyline and '86 Corolla are throwbacks to him as well as the Skyline was his first drift car and the Corolla was one of his favorites.

Question: When DK beats up Sean for spending time with Neela, what is the translation of what he says after he says "or the only thing you'll be driving is a wheelchair"?

Answer: I believe he says 'find another driver'.

He says something before that. It sounds like he says "or gothica".
