Ironically, Han proved to be the breakout character in this film and he has returned for several sequels. Han (Sung Kang) takes Sean under his wing and teaches him how to drift. Racing hijinks ensue when Sean becomes a rival to Tokyo’s Drift King, Takashi (Brian Tee). Lucas Black stars as Sean Boswell, a young man who narrowly avoids going to jail in the United States by going to live with his father, Major Boswell (Brian Goodman), in Japan. With neither Walker nor Diesel in the driver’s seat, the third film in the franchise, The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, is another standalone story that has since taken on greater prominence.

However, Brian gets a chance to clear his record if he helps the FBI take down a drug lord, Carter Verone (Cole Hauser). Since Diesel declined to return for the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Walker takes the spotlight as Brian lives on the run from the law. 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Image used with permission by copyright holder And they also have a mutual enemy, Johnny Tran (Rick Yune), who is more than willing to kill both of them. Brian quickly finds himself at odds with legendary racer, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), and very attracted to Dom’s sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster).īut as he bonds with Dom over their shared passion for cars, Brian’s loyalties are conflicted until he has to face the fact that his new friend is the mastermind behind the truck hijackings. Derivative of Point Break, the movie features Varsity Blues actor Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, an LAPD officer who goes undercover in the world of illegal street racing to uncover a gang of truck hijackers.
And unlike many of its sequels, The Fast and the Furious is clearly a standalone film that has no aspirations of becoming a franchise. The Fast and the Furious (2001) Image used with permission by copyright holder
