The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Continuity mistake: In the closing credits, Sean's father was listed as "Major Boswell." However, it was established early in the movie that he is in the U.S. Navy, and major is not a rank in the Navy. Its Naval equivalent is the rank of lieutenant commander. In addition to the wrong rank being listed in the credits, in the scene when he was in uniform, he was wearing lieutenant rank, which is the U.S. Navy equivalent to an O-3 paygrade captain in the other branches of the U.S. military.

Suggested correction: "Major" is the character's name, not his rank.

Continuity mistake: During the drive with Han to go 'get his money', the steering wheel inside the black and orange Veilside RX-7 switches sides. When they pull up to the bathhouse the steering wheel is on the left, when they leave it's on the right. (00:40:20)

Suggested correction: The rounded dashboard throws people off, but if you look closely, you can see Han's hands are on the steering wheel, which are on the right side of the vehicle. The production didn't have any left-hand drive RX-7's for this "mistake" to have been possible in the first place.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Twinkle first shows his car to Sean, you see that it is a plain green hulk VW, but 2 secs later when they turn up to the multistorey carpark for the meet/drift race, it has a set of 4 tyres on the roof. (00:19:20)

Suggested correction: This is explained in a deleted scene where they steal tyres at a gas station.

As it is explained in a deleted scene, the mistake is still valid. As the deleted scene isn't in the movie.

Continuity mistake: The inside of the plane to Japan is a Boeing 747, but outside it's a 737. (00:11:40)

More quotes from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Trivia: When Sean is learning how to drift at the docks, the fisherman that comments about his drifting is actually the real Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya. The comments about betting on the '72 Skyline and '86 Corolla are throwbacks to him as well as the Skyline was his first drift car and the Corolla was one of his favorites.

Question: When DK beats up Sean for spending time with Neela, what is the translation of what he says after he says "or the only thing you'll be driving is a wheelchair"?

Answer: I believe he says 'find another driver'.

He says something before that. It sounds like he says "or gothica".
