    • Trivia
      Over 100 cars were destroyed or wrecked during the filming of this movie.
    • Goofs
      If Twinkie was a military brat, his license plate would have a Japanese symbol that looks like a "Y" on the left side. Military members and their families with cars in Japan are required to have "Y" plates.
    • Quotes

      Shawn Boswell: Why'd you let me race your car? You knew I was gonna wreck it.

      Han: Why not?

      Shawn Boswell: 'Cause that's a lot of money.

      Han: I have money, it's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. One car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of? That's a price I can live with.

    • Alternate versions
      For the Japanese version the scene with the final race is altered. The Yakuza member starting the final race is shown to be having all his fingers instead of missing four.

    Refreshing and innovating
    "The Fast And The Furious" series opened the cinema for a whole new way to make car movies. This 3rd movie from this series added the cherry on the top of a sweet cake. Lots of action during the whole movie and, I must say, a very good argument. Way better than the 2nd movie with some characters very well created and also their evolution through out the movie.

    Although, sometimes, it seams that the story walks a bit too fast and things happen too early, this 3rd movie has one of the best arguments of the 3. And I'm still undecided if it is better or not than the 1st movie.

    Some really good change in this 3rd movie was the feature of drifts instead of pure racing (shown so far in the previous series). THAT is the main innovation in this series as long as in cars movies. The creators of "The Fast and The Furious" were PROBABLY pioneers in making underground car movies and they were surely the first doing a movie about drifting.

    I must say that Tokyo was indeed a very good place to film this kind of driving.

    Just to finish, I just wanna say there's a great surprise at the end of the movie!!! ;)
