The Best Fast & Furious Movie Became The Biggest Box Office Flop

This year Fast & Furious is one movie closer to the end. The franchise ends in a contradictory state. On the one hand, it is one of the most important franchises of our time, which has created new stars.

On the other hand, fans around the world continue to say that the series is going crazy and criticize the writers for the fact that the Fast and the Furious is no longer a franchise about street racers.

However, no matter how much critics and viewers bash the Fast and the Furious, the franchise continues to prove itself commercially with each new release, raking in an impressive box office haul.

Two movies in the franchise have grossed over a billion dollars, which can be considered an undeniable success.

However, in a series of financial successes, there is one movie that stands out – according to many fans, it is the best one, but the box office says otherwise – The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift only grossed $158 million.

Tokyo Drift is an amusing formalist experiment. Director Justin Lin plays out the classic scheme of the wuxia martial arts film genre in a neon setting.

The difficulties of life reveal the problems of the protagonist – a lonely racer Sean Boswell, who has ended up in Japan and he can only solve his problems by overcoming himself.

To do this, a new teacher appear in Sean's life, requiring a change in the usual perspective. After reaching perfection and burying a couple of friends, Sean takes revenge on the culprit and boldly moves on to new horizons.

Only instead of fights and dusty tatami mats, there are colorful cars and winding tracks. Fast and the Furious is perhaps the most original, most interesting, and perhaps just the best movie in the franchise.

Tokyo Drift is an experimental movie, which is probably why it earned only $158 million. There is no Paul Walker or Vin Diesel in the lead roles.

This may also be the reason why the most original movie of the franchise was the biggest box office flop.
