never saw it tokyo drift so i'm immediately struck by how the opening race scene takes place in a vast abandoned residential construction site
considering the move came out in 2006, its an ominous landscape
Considering the series follows the y2k dream of super charged japanese sport coupes owned/driven by young adults, I contrast that with how that exact type of car was dead by the mid 00s as millennials entered into their own lost generation as japanese genxers had a decade earlier
The first films are set around these street races in this economic twilight, the car as the American symbol of upward and literal mobility
fast forward to the 2020s, its absolutely unrealistic to imagine this... so instead they drive exotics in the UAE
>the first appearance of a toyota celica gen7 in the fast and furious series is at the timecode of 3:33 of 2fast2furious and there are two celicas in the same shot

thank u based choronzon for this very special lapis synchronicity

i love how you dont see them racing, just blasting music, which is basically what they are good for lmfao
