How is Han alive in fast and furious?

Answer 1

Well the answer is simple. The "Fast and the Furious" series isn't exactly in order. So I'll break it down so you can understand the series time frame a bit better.We start with the first 2, those are in order if you remember the ending of the first one, and watched after credits you know where Vin Diesels character ends up. "2 Fast 2 Furious" takes place with Paul Walker and if you actually watch the DVD for "The Fast and The Furious" they actually have a small bonus feature which shows how Paul Walkers character ends up in Miami. None the less Tokyo Drift comes out next, and this is where the series begins to get out of order. While 3 was expected to be the last one, they continued with a 4th installment picking back up with Vin Diesels character due to the overall success of the series. If you have seen Tokyo drift then you are aware that Han does die. Next is "Fast and Furious", this one is technically after "2 Fast 2 Furious" which also reintroduces Vin Diesels character from the first one excluding the cameo in Tokyo Drift. Originally the 4th installment was planned to have all the main characters for the previous 3 including Han, but was scrapped and rewritten due to inconsistency of the story. Having run away after the first one and escaping to Mexico like planned, Vin Diesel ends up running through south America some. And in this time frame is where he ended up meeting Han. Now Han does plan on heading into Tokyo which is said in the movie a bit after the beginning some. Last is "The Fast Five" which finally takes place after the "Fast and Furious" which picks up right after the ending to the 4th installment. So the correct order of the series is as follows.

Answer.

1. The Fast and The Furious
2. 2 Fast 2 Furious
3. Fast and Furious
4. The Fast Five
5. The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

Now while Tokyo Drift did come out 3rd in the series it's technically also the last one in the series as well.This is the current order of the series, at least until the 6th installment is release 2012. But As side spoiler If you watch the end credits for The Fast Five you will see a special cameo that will literally blow your mind.

If you do remember, though, the Plymouth Road Runner "Hammer" is wrecked in Fast and Furious in the chase scene between Letty and Fenix, the scene where Letty is killed, but Dominic Toretto is seen driving the Hammer in the last scene of Tokyo Drift when he races Sean Boswell.

Answer 2

From what I took out of it that was to have taken place before Tokyo Drift or maybe just that part of the movie, if you think back to Tokyo Drift there is a reference at the End of the movie Vin says that him and Han used to hang out together.... But that's just what I took from it.

I agree. During Fast & Furious when Dom breaks the group up in the Dominican, Han says "I'm thinking about going to Tokyo." This movie is a prequel to Tokyo Drift.

Yes Fast & Furious Takes Place After 2 Fast 2 Furious, But Before Tokyo Drift.

Does this mean that at the end of Fast & Furious (Don't read if you haven't seen the movie) when Dominic is rescued by Brian, Mia, Tego and Don Omar that he travels in Asia and winds up in Tokyo? Because that would be obvious if Tokyo Drift takes place after Fast & Furious.

Answer 3

Chronologically, the events from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (third movie in the series), take place after events in Fast & Furious 6. So, if you were to watch all the movies through Furious 7, watch the first two, then the fourth through sixth, Tokyo Drift, then Furious 7.

Answer 4

Because he didn't die in Fast and Furious. He dies in Tokyo Drift, which is a prequel to Fast and Furious.
