When it was released in 2006, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was overlooked by many, but it has since become a favorite for longtime fans of the franchise. After the first film was a hit, the sequel had to move on without star Vin Diesel and then Paul Walker also didn't return for this third installment. Add in the lack of Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, and it was easy to see why some thought Tokyo Drift was the series running on fumes.
