But I’m here to tell you that Tokyo Drift is still worth watching, and here’s why: The movie uses Japanese street racing as more than just an exotic backdrop. Honestly, you can pretty much omit this one from your rewatch without having missed any important plot points, and I’m sure a lot of people do exactly that.
I suspect, however, that even the most ride-or-die fans will consider skipping one movie: Tokyo Drift, the third (but canonically sixth… ish) and most confusing film of the franchise. Feel free to borrow that moniker for your own Corona-soaked binge fest. This weekend marks the premiere of The Fate Of The Furious, so you know what that means: time to prepare yourselves with a Fast and Furiousmovie marathon! Or, as we like to call them in my household, a Family Reunion.
