Before we begin I want to make sure everyone understands the chronological story order of the movies.
1. The Fast and the Furious (release date 2001)
2. 2 Fast 2 Furious (release date 2003)
3. Fast & Furious (release date 2009 prequel)
5. Fast Five (release date 2011 prequel)
6. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (release date 2006) We don’t know what happens after Tokyo Drift.
The worst part of Tokyo Drift was Han’s car accident. However, we never saw a funeral and other than a few people saying Han was dead there were never any scenes to prove it. It’s as if that’s what Han wanted them to believe. Think about it, he had a guy wanting to kill him and he just had an accident that would have them believing he was dead. It was a great plan since he needed time to heal and call in support, Dom.
The scene below is the end of the chase for Sean and Neela when they lose control and back into other cars. Right after this scene Han’s car hit from the side, lifted and flipped.
In the scene below Han has already been hit by another car and is hanging upside down presumably by his seat belt. It easy to assume a bystander is actually next to car reaching in for Han at this exact moment.
Between the above and below scene you will notice that enough time has passed that there are many bystanders. One bystander has already pulled Han from the car. Even in Han’s distressed state he is capable of getting to his feet and escaping from the accident under the cover of the flames of the explosion. Sean and DK are incapable of seeing Han from their vantage point because they’re on the opposite side with the explosion and flames between them.
The events of Fast & Furious (Letty’s possible death) and Fast Five (Letty’s possible escape) happen before Tokyo Drift (because they’re prequels) so we can assume that Han learned a trick or two from Letty about escaping a car that’s about to explode and then they disappear.
If Sean could see through the flames in the scene below he would see Han in the distance moving away from the accident. However, Sean would be looking down at the car thinking Han is still in it. Sean would not be looking straight ahead to the other side of the car.
Clearly enough time has passed that there are bystanders all around the accident. In a way I feel like for that to have happened some scenes were cut. Without cut scenes it’s still possible for Han to escape, however, it’s even easier when you realize for that many bystanders to be around more time elapsed than we were shown.
The scene below could be Han looking back and seeing Sean through the flames as he moved away from the explosion.
If DK could see through the flames in the scene below he would see Han in the distance moving away from the accident.
The scene below shows the distance and size of the flames after the explosion from Sean and Neela. By the time Neela reaches Sean, Han has already escaped the accident scene completely.
In following scenes we see Dom has shown up wanting to race Sean. Twinkie never indicates whether he knows Dom so I’m going to assume he actually does. The way Twinkie delivers his lines is more based on the fact that he knows Sean doesn’t know who Dom is. After Dom and Sean’s race I can imagine them going to a secret location to talk and Dom revealing that Han is alive and well, and they have a job.
Wow, never thought of it that way!
THERE NEEDS COME A TOKYO DRIFT 2!
The Great Han definitely lives on! His bad
ass drifting is epic! If a cat has 9 lives. Han is immortal! Han is def a Fast and Furiously dangerous! it’s prequel so The Great Han
of Tokyo Drift will continue with his sexy drifting skills! saranghae Han! iloveu Fast and Furious! vvrrooommm
LOL. That is pretty funny! Interesting way too look at it though. Maybe it did happen that way…
Considering the role he played not only in Tokyo Drift, but also in Fast Five and Fast & Furious, it wouldn’t be a suprise for him to return in the next Fast and the Furious, Especially since in the post-credits of Fast Five, Letty is showed to have survived a similar fate and then upped and dissapeared.
XD well I definetly think that Han is alive! so I agree, that could be the way that all of that happened, if not how Dom knew about a new DK and where and who to ask for him?!
Saranghae HAN!!!
your above scenario is exactly what I thought after just watching FF3 again immediately after watching FF5 – after Han escapes he then sends Dom to check up on his new buddy Sean at the end of FF3 and Dom then reveals to Sean that Han is alive and well – Letty, Sean, Han, BW could all easily be back for FF6 – seeing as the series is all about tricking the bad guys the above scenario makes perfect sense ! Also in FF6 I would love to see Cole Hauser from FF2 come back – dude was waay cool
That’s not actually true, fast five is a prequel and is set before tokyo drift. So I’ve assumed that Han got all the money for the stuff he had in tokyo drift by doing that job. If you notice on the end of fast five he told the chick they will eventually get to Japan and on tokyo drift Han says that he doesn’t need money, all he needs is good people around him.
Ofcourse that may also be interpreted in another way. Han could have gotten all the money from stealing DK in tokyo drift and then run away from the crash site like it was explained, and then he would tell the chick that they will get to Japan, eventually because he would be back and people would find out he’s not dead and stuff like that.
Just my 2 cents
wow great HAN!!! THIS GREAT MAN HAN I’M FOND OF YOU AH YE
Woah guys epic idea, what if letty staged it with Han, i mena lets face it han makes a clumsy error he would never make
as in she helped him stage it
Nice. Really nice. Hope he returns in Furious Six (The Fast and the Furious 6).
Doesn’t Tokyo Drift take place between Fast And Furious and Fast Five…
I think after they steal the gas in Fast and Furious, they are on the beach splitting the take and Han says to Dom that they are doing some cool racing in Tokyo and he’s going to check it out.
No, Tokyo Drift is after Fast Five
i think we should wait until fast 6 comes out in 2013 in july and they will explain the movie or else they would loose alot of fans
i agree with pedro. because if fast five would of happened before tokyo drift wouldnt he taken the girl in lexus lfa with him???
In both Fast & Furious and Fast Five Han mentions that he hasn’t been to Tokyo Yet.
Please let Han live!! He’s bad ass, and it was kinda quick build up to the Nephew hating him, seems odd to have killed off such an influential character to quickly. And Please let Han still be with Gal Gadot! Because she is hot! aha.
DD
As soon as I heard the music from Dom’s car (before we saw him) I knew straight away it was him. Latinnoooo!! I hope he wins the race, and that we see more of OConnor and Mia, but they’re Mum and Dad now so we’ll see. And then the whole thing about Letty not being dead! Man this is intenseee!!!!
I can agree with the Han deal but not letty man. You can see right off hand she was shot. Fenix shoots her when she comes out of the car. I have another thought though. The feds knew it was way to dangerous for a civilian so they have an agent under go plastic surgery still keeping to the deal about Dom if it works. She finds out she’s supposed to be dead so she does the first thing she thinks of to get Dom’s attention.
I hope han is still alive, because i Think sung kang is the best Actor In the movie and his character is so good and important for the movie. But then it could also be Nice to see Dom, Sean and Han work together i one of the new movies. It’s lovly to see that i’m not the only one there would like to see Han In a Fast and furious again.
The scene where we see Fenix shoot her was made up in Dom’s mind. He was imagining what happened. However, I like like you other idea. Very nice.
