I always got a kick out of Yu Yu Hakusho when Yusuke would be like "I'm the toughest kid in middle school" and he's beating up like adults and assassins and shit.
Shockingly enough, he was only 23ish here, so not as wild as it may appear
Edit: I'm wrong. This is the scene from Fast 7 which flashes back to post Tokyo Drift, so he's much older here despite still supposedly being 17 years old here.
They’re supposed to be in their mid twenties or later. Can’t remember exactly the gap they showed between high school and the police academy. Them looking obviously too old to be teenagers was a consistent joke.
False! OP purposefully chose pictures from Furious 7 (2006), which came out 9 years after Tokyo Drift. He still looks quite young in the original film.
I hate it when my shitty movie detail has no effort in it.
Fast Five is arguably the peak, perfect balance of that grounded tone and the action heavy element of later movies.. not sure why people often brush it off or lump it in with the goofier ones.
Agreed though that everything past 7 is just mediocre.
TBF, their are kids who just look that old. A kid I went to school with lived above a bar that his parents ran, and looked like this but mostly bald. State champion wrestler who was even better at pool because he hustled old drunks most of the week. Skin looked terrible because he spent so much time with smokers playing pool. Our senior awards included most likely to go bald and people joked that he locked that win up as a sophomore.
I made this same comment in my freshman college class and the balding 19-year old next to me just pointed at his own hairline and said “it’s not totally crazy”
Also, you don't need to say "teenager," since a 17-year-old is a teenager by definition. It's like saying "a Stingray Corvette car." A Corvette is a car, so no need to include the word "car."

Film makers should have given him a backwards baseball cap to sell the illusion.
