The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift opens this weekend. It will not have  Paul Walker or Vin Diesel but here is the story line from yahoo movies “Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin… ”

Paul walker and Vin Diesel will not appear in the movie. The Third film picks up with Diesel’s story. Where he heads down to Mexico and then finds his way to Japan, the street racing capitol of the world. So I am not sure how they will work it with out Diesel?

The movie also introduces us to a “drifting” which is a street racing move. I found a nice explanation on this site: http://streetracing.tiora.net/japan/drift/drift1.htm

“What Is Drifting?

  Basically, drifting is getting your car sideways down a road. It doesn’t sound very hard does it? Sounds a lot like power sliding huh? Well it isn’t. It’s much more complex. Instead of a drifter causing a drift and then countering to straighten out, he will instead over-counter so his car goes into another drift. That is the reason many drifters do it in the mountains, because there are many sharp turns strung together. So in essence a good drifter has the ability to take five or six opposing turns without having traction at any point in time.”

I hope this film does not inspire a whole group of kids to try this on the city streets of America.
