While 'See You Again' once left an entire generation emotional over the Fast & Furious saga, a fresh social media trend is reigniting nostalgia, this time with an AI-powered twist.
A viral wave is sweeping across TikTok, Instagram and X, centred around an iconic moment from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Users are recreating the legendary scene where Han leans against his orange Mazda RX-7 — but with a hilarious spin.
Instead of the sleek sports car, creators are swapping in everything from Mr Bean’s Mini Cooper to toy cars and absurd objects. Some go even further, replacing Han himself with pop culture figures such as Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, US President
Donald Trump and even SpongeBob.

In one of the edits going viral on X, a user replaced Sean with the viral Japanese monkey Punch and Han with his stuffed toy Ora-mama. Punch walked out of the school to meet the toy and the two shared a hug.
Another edit replaced Sean with the character Jon Snow from the hit HBO series 'Game of Thrones' and Han with Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys Targaryen, standing by her dragon.
One hilarious edit had famous cartoon character Oggy in place of Sean with his brother Jack waiting for him by his bike, from the famous cartoon series 'Oggy and the Cockroaches'.
