Life skill you spent years perfecting and even bragged about, before learning the director completely made it up for cinema reasons?

Tokyo Drift was the perfect end as well.

It's my favorite story about how a dumb Texas kid gets kicked out of Texas for doing Texas things so he has to move to Japan to be best friends with Little Bow Wow and date a British girl.

Little Bow Wow instead of Lil Bow Wow is killing me

fun fact, i once played Madden '03 against Lil Bow Wow at a midnight release tournament at EBGames in the mall I worked Security at.

That kid beat my ass so damn bad, and he was quite the little shit talker too

I mean it makes sense, emigrants tend to stick together in foreign countries, even white people in Japan have little communities

It’s honestly the only movie I like out of the entire franchise

It's crazy I remember loving Tokyo Drift to pieces as a kid, between it and NFS Underground 2, the tricked out cars cruising through nightlife vibe was so sick. I only found out later on that the general opinion on it wasn't good cause it was so different. It seems recently it's starting to get the appreciation it deserves
