Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The AE86 used was so battered that the production bought six identical cars for spare parts; Jay Chou performed most of his own driving after intensive training.
This film single-handedly revived AE86 prices across Asia and cemented Jay Chou's transition from pop star to credible leading man—two miracles for the price of one.
