The most important scene in Fast & Furious lasts less than a minute and Vin Diesel didn't get paid to film it

Two decades ago, many fans of the Fast and Furious movies felt the franchise had run out of gas. For the third movie in the series, director Justin Lin and writer Chris Morgan abandoned the franchise’s established main characters, shifted the focus to Japan, and introduced an entirely new cast led by a teenager (who looked like he was 20) learning the art of drifting. It felt like an odd detour, and critics skewered it as a desperate sequel destined for the bargain bin. They were mostly right, but looking back now, Tokyo Drift may have been the most important film the franchise ever made, and that’s largely because of a one-minute Vin Diesel cameo in its closing moments.
