Trivia: Director Justin Lin was a fan of The Incredible Hulk TV series, and that inspiration led to Twinkie's Hulk van in Tokyo Drift. To make it authentic, the production worked with Marvel to secure rights for the design. The van, a Volkswagen Touran, was modified to look like Hulk's fists were smashing through the panels. This collaboration turned what could have been a parody gag into an officially approved Marvel reference.
