But then i just think that Rhys should have been in the movie, heh they could have made him look a little younger or something. He was a good pick for the part since he was stuntman prior to driftman. Thanks for pointing that out though really didn't think someone did that, is it on the special features or something? Who got to drift the cars through tokyo was that more american drifters like Rhys or did they use him and some japs that were there? That would be sweet to do in a city like tokyo.
Tokyo drift was shot mainly in LA. they just added a bunch of lights and such to make you think it was downtown tokyo. it was alot easier to shut down LA then it would be to shut down Tokyo

Oh okay they had me fooled. Not like ive ever been to tokyo heh i imagined it looked something like that, still be cool drifting in LA. So were the japanese people in the movie really from japan or were they japanese americans? That somehow made me like tokyo drift even less, i mean, they couldn't even fly to tokyo? Probably restrictions on what hollywood is allowed to do for movies in other countries though, should have called it the fast and furious los angeles drift.

::Minor Spoiler Alert!!::

I watched it last night.. thanks to this damned, cleverly marketed thread.. and I actually liked it.. I think it was better than the last 2.. the cars weren't overly riced, and actually had a decent storyline. I still havent figured out why they keep swapping the GT-R for the new AWD car of the year... oh wells.

I enjoyed the movie as much as watching the guys in their BMW's and Civics race out of the parking lot without even warming up their engines, only to get pulled over by the Ninja Police officer.

Won't lie though, every time I watch a FnF movie, it makes me want to buy another part for my car... sigh..

Overall I liked the movie if anything, better than part 2 or Tokyo drift.. I would say this is the true sequel to the original FnF, considering the story-line and what not.. also considering Han is in this movie, before he goes to Tokyo. The cliffhanger ending definitely shows that there is going to be 1 more... considering at the end of Tokyo Drift, you see Vin Diesel in Japan all Leeroy Jenkin'd up and what not...

One Love,

Ghast.. I mean.. JunGLe (Sorry to bite your style Ghast.. but it had to be done <3 /hug face)

They said the guy had a "98 240 with an illegal mod..." The illegal mod was most likely a vin plate swap (s15 registered as an s14). That is what I assumed they meant anyway...

My favorite line was "Whatchu lookin at, nut sack?"

EDIT:

You can tell they've been doing their homework. This movie and Toyko Drift have been far more technically accurate than the first 2 movies...
QFT, you beat me too it- good call.

No. You are wrong, did you even see the movie? He clearly pulled up to a house which had a silver s15 parked outside, unless they did a full front, side, and rear end conversion on an s13 than you are wrong.

you could tell it was a s15 just by the side quarter glass. s15 discussion [/end]

the other ghey thing was after the STI rolled in the desert at the end and landed on its lid, there was no trans/center diff or drive shafts on the car!It just had front/rear diffs with the outputs...WOW, your going to film the underside of a AWD car and not have any of the driveline on it. lame.

Rhys was in the movie. Not only did he do alot of the stunt driving, but he makes a cameo on the airplane the kid takes to get to Japan. If you know what Rhys looks like, he's really easy to spot as the only other white guy on the flight... lol

Saw it loved it! i did notice the STI drive shaft as well kinda korny but i dont think they really thought the average person seeing the movie would notice that.

Vin diesel bullet hole in his right trap... ummm where did the bullet go... no exit wound. unless it grazed him.

all in all though fun movie to watch pretty good storyline:)

i liked it!

initial D = YES

fast and furious = EPIC FAIL = NO

tokyo drift = better than the rest, slightly better cars, better plot, better characters, overall much better film, but still FAIL.

i don't think i will even watch this new one. sure, when it comes out and my friend brings it over for a laugh, i won't run away from it...

but theres no way in HELL i'm paying to see all that rice.

for those of you who are defending this film or even this entire franchise... i feel ashamed. especially to those of you who shelled out ten or so bucks to watch this crap.

mmmmhmmm

When they announce the next one, you'll be back..... "ah man, another one. I'm never gonna see it. I don't care. I'm gonna sell my car for 10x profit. Our cars are ruined. They have some bad lines. Look at that rice. I'm never gonna talk about it. "

in an issue of import tuner that shows some of the cars in the movie before the movie was released it stated the subarus were preproduction cars and could never be registered. So they gave them to them for the movie hell the red stripe was red electrical tape. Paul walker fought with the producers to keep the vinyls and neons off of the cars. The NSX was the most heavily modded of the cars. Forgot what issue it was will post when i get home and find it.

Yeah, we got the STi before it was released.

It was all stripped out, but had the cage in it already.

It still had the sweet OEM navigation unit in there.

They couldn't even use our front bumper for the filming because it would have been torn off in the desert scenes in seconds. So, they used stock front bumper for part of the filming.

I went to go see FnF last night, I went expecting total crap. Turned out it wasn't that bad. Yes there was a good bit of cgi, but like someone stated earlier its just a movie.

I was really mad that the s15 didn't get much screen time.

hahah. wow. if me saying that fast and furious is some rice-a** s*** makes you that offended... then i feel sorry for you.

it's the ricest s*** in the world and everyone knows it.... the only one of these i ever payed to see was tokyo drift, for obvious reasons... and it's the LAST one I will ever pay to see. entertainment? sort of. completely bogus ricer film? DEFINITELY.

i didn't say nor do i care about any of that other crap. ricers will always be ricers. cops will always be cops. and 240s will ALWAYS be overpriced.

anyways,
