Corrected entry: 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.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
Correction: We're talking about skidmarks indicating extreme racing - including zigzag patterns in the middle of straight roads - who reproduce or rather 'anticipate' the stunts the cars perform in the movie. That's some really long odds of that happening because a city is supposedly full of drifters (which as a poster intelligently pointed out for another "corrected" entry, does not -typically - happen in the city center). Sure you can't theoretically rule out that some crazy dude at one point decided to drift in Shibuya and left some skidmarks, but it wouldn't result in the asphalt looking like that for lengthy scenes.

Correction: 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.
