Universal Protected Justin Lin When He Broke The Law During Tokyo Drift The decision resulted in an arrest but the studio, Universal Pictures, was prepared for the situation. Lin had been outspoken about this fact, but he took the risk and went through with filming without the appropriate permission. The thought was to have a sequence featuring a group of racers drifting through the cross-section. Getting a film permit is difficult in Tokyo, especially when it comes to foreigners.

The characters featured in the Fast & Furious franchise don't shy away from breaking the law, and the same can be said about the crew of 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The movie, directed by Justin Lin, served as the third installment of the series but was actually set between Fast & Furious 6 and Furious 7.
