Tokyo Drift is a surprisingly (to some) popular entry. I enjoyed it as a fish-out-of-water story, wherein Lucas Black is VERY believably out of his element in a place like Tokyo. Although it has to be said that for a movie set in Japan, Tokyo Drift sure has an awful lot of non-Japanese characters (which the film rationalizes by being centered around a school for foreign students).

Also in its favor, Tokyo Drift just has some very impressive, very real driving on display. I don't even LIKE drifting as a race category, but this film made it look like an art form. But most importantly, Tokyo Drift has the most Han of all the movies. Sung Kang is just cool, and the movie rides (ha!) on that fact.

Did they come across DOCTOR WHO's Spitfires in Space while they were up there? That's the only twist that would make this more ridiculously awesome than it already is, to have Dom Toretto and The Doctor share a universe....
