I was browsing on Wikipedia and I noticed that the Fast & Furious films have a different chronology that doesn't match their release order. The Tokyo Drift movie, besides being totally different compared to the others, happens way later in the movie timeline.
But why does Fast & Furious have this chronology thing? They're action movies and a lot of people don't watch them for the plot, but for the action scenes, so why haven't they been set in the release order matching the chronology?
