@456nto: If he wants to watch them in order of events that I would say the opposite. If you watch Tokyo Drift first then you learn a major spoiler about one of the characters that shows up in three of the other movies. Obviously it doesn't really matter since Tokyo Drift was the third movie released so a fair amount of people, or at least me, watched them as they came out and knew that spoiler the entire time.
However, if you didn't want to watch all the movies I would say definitely watch the first just so you understand the whole ridiculous Brian and Dom dynamic. Also its funny to see how crazy the movies have gotten over time in comparison to the first one. The second one isn't important to understanding the later ones. All it does is introduce two new characters, Roman and Tej, that will show up in the later ones but all you need to know is that he's Brian's childhood friend and Tej is like the crews tech guy. Tokyo Drift also introduces (on screen) an important character to later films but the only part form that movie involving him that you need to see is also shown in an after credits scene of Fast 6. So watch 1 and then at least 6 if you can't do 4, 5, and 6 also.
If you had the time I'd recommend watching all of them just because they are ridiculous movies that also happen to be entertaining. If you cared about order of events and not learning about things early I'd watch The Fast and Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and Furious, Fast Five, Fast and Furious 6 (but do not watch after credits scene), Tokyo Drift, and finally the after credits scene from Fast 6. That would get you completely caught up with the events as they happened within the films.
