Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Fast & Furious franchise has introduced a lot of beloved characters over its 11-movie run, but Han is the series' greatest addition. His appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift made him an instant fan favorite, so much so that the franchise altered the entire Fast & Furious timeline for his character.
The scene where Han rescues Elle isn't just a cool showcase for his fighting skills. It also demonstrates what makes Han so special as a character. He cares deeply about people and is willing to risk himself to keep others safe. Knowing that he remained in hiding for years not just for his own safety, but to protect his adopted daughter completely recontextualizes his absence from the previous movies.
But setting aside those impacts, Han's crash is simply a heartwrenching scene. Even with a limited amount of screentime in Tokyo Drift, Han was instantly loveable, and it hurts to see such a dynamic character die painfully – even if, in hindsight, viewers know that he doesn't really die. If Han hadn't been such a fan favorite in the film, viewers wouldn't have demanded him to return, and the franchise would look completely different than it does today.
Tej and Roman's stunned reactions to Han's reappearance are both funny and heartfelt, and his hug with Dom shows a softer side to both of the characters. Even Ramsey, who had never met Han at that point, reacts in a way that made it clear she'd been told about how important he was. These emotional reactions emphasize Han's importance to the family and how much he had been missed by the characters – and by the franchise overall.
It's one of the most realistic moments in the franchise, which has shown much more improbable fights go off without a hitch. The scene is a hilarious and rare example of a fight gone wrong and proves that the characters of the Fast franchise can still be heroic without winning every single fight.
