It's supposed to be set before Tokyo drift. There are references to him wanting to eventually go back to Tokyo in the film.

Haven't seen the film, BUT, the original datsun gtr is a stunning looking car. May I prod folks to YouTube, and search for Datsun GTR, and Gan San... Stunning clip there of him pelting it round a track.

Agree this is better than all the others in the series by far. Very good action film with some very good car chases and some decent cars for a change, not just a load of ricers with go faster stripes. Could have done with seeing a bit more of the carbon LFA though, that car was stunning.

If that's the case...

Doesn't Vin Diesels car get pretty messed up (rammed) when they get found in the safe house?

This car then appears in the final scene of Tokyo Drift
Apparently it is a different car, but I haven't got Drift to check. Apparently at the end of Drift he is in a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner and not the 1970 Dodge Charger in Fast 5.

If that's not correct, then it could still work. He could use his newly acquired millions to rebuild it in the time Han goes off to Tokyo and dies. It's easier to repair a wrecked car than a dead person so it still fits as a prequel.

Han was also in Fast and Furious (film 4) which this film follows on from so it's not just this one that was set before drift.

Wouldn't surprise me if they found a workaround for Han's death - possible solution? Han manages to jump out of the car at the last minute but ends up losing his memory - he suddenly regains his memory when he bumps into Toretto and co

I'm thinking the next film starts with him waking up in hospital...

They've killed other fairly major characters in the series, no reason why they can't film number 6 and go on to let Han meet his fate in Tokyo.

They killed off Letty and now they are hinting that she will be back in FF6, so they could easily bring Han back if they wanted to.

Eva Mendes back in a F+F film? Yessss please!
Don't you think that she has the look of a trannie though? Makes me scared to think "Phwooooar" in case she's a he (I call it the 'Hanson Trap' laugh )

Perhaps Deano couldn't keep up with the subtitles.

besides the very Asian nuances in the film (the whole love thing :sicksmile the understanding of cars developed in the film is quite good.

The cartoon version does it better though.
lol. yes the subtitles were quite fast and i was gripped by the quality acting in the film. the tech side of it is (to say the least)ok, however, at least the f+f can keep most peoples attention for more than 5 minutes. initial d concentrated on describing things that made good drifting characteristics etc but that was totally lost in the films total lack of entertainment and duff love plot. the cartoon version DOES do it better ftw.

My 12 year old dragged me to see this at the weekend.

Biggest load of pish since Sharkboy and Lava Girl.

Poor acting (especially the bumless biker chick and the Jap)and totally unbelievable script.

Loved the black Chargers though!

Watched it, and thought it was just as gash as the rest of the series, to be honest.

... during a zombie apocalypse? The only way to kill them is a fender to the head?

I dunno. I'm just assuming that they'll find a way. They seem to like having him.
