this doesnt show percentage but it would cost filmmakers more to do everything in japan than here.

It was filmed in LA streets. Movie was good. Cars were jdm-look, no tacky vinyl stickers like 1st and 2nd. Action was good, but they over-killed drifting in the movie. In some scenes, the cars didn't even need to drift and they were drifting anyways..

**Axix23** · 06-16-2006, 11:47 PM

By the way, I was like the oldest person in the movie theatre. Majority was 12-19 yr olds... Import scene is hitting center stage with the teenagers now. It used to be every kid wanted 5.0 v8 mustang or big truck, but now its like every kid wants a drifter/tuner style car... I heard a bunch of kids talking by me and some of them was really knowing their shit about drifting and all, thanks to D1 and Formula D, and speedvision and g4 tv coverage. In the next 5 years, import scene is really going to take off. Like it or not, we will see more and more "ricers" or whatever.. But that will be good for our scene, more business for companys(companys make more products for us), bigger/more attendance in shows, and more national shows hopefully in ATL..

I liked the first one... i'm sure i'll like the 3rd. but i've been domestic my whole life, the movie didnt corrupt me and make me want a honda like the first one did for half the damn teens in the world... i still dont understand drifting, but oh well.. it beats ricers.

**i4_garage** · 06-17-2006, 12:02 AM

i am lucky to have an asian girl/f....lol...cuz i was drooling ...so was yall....and too bad i got one after the movie......... :P

**2.0civic** · 06-17-2006, 12:02 AM

you are correct but it still doesnt change the fact that japan is fucking crowded 24/7 so a movie like this would be real hard. i just think its funny cause all weve seen for the last 3 months is "oh, its gonna suck" and for the most part everyone enjoyed it

**LemonAJAX** · 06-17-2006, 12:07 AM

so.. i give it 4.5/5.. only cause they still have HUGE ASS vinyls/stickers and shit.. lol

**Blitanicle99** · 06-17-2006, 01:03 AM

It was good movie IMO. Best F&F there was yet to be honest. Anyone know that sorta spanish song that was playing? The one where the asian dude was about to let them race/drift and some like weird song that is not on the soundtrack started playing? I downloaded all the ones off amazon and it isnt on there.

**ironchef** · 06-17-2006, 01:14 AM

I thought it was pretty cool, definitely way better than the first two. And, bowwow was not nearly as gay as i thought he would be..

**429bigblock** · 06-17-2006, 01:16 AM

i just got back from seein it and i thought it was pretty bad ass i have been dreading this day for a while but i thought it was pretty cool.

**ct9a gsr** · 06-17-2006, 01:31 AM

Anyone else notice Keichi Tsuchiya in the movie?

^.^

Of course "you call that drifting" haha

As a movie it really wasn't bad. When compared to the other 2, there was much better character development, the audience could actually feel somewhat connected to the emotions of the characters, even through the wooden acting of the main character.
Bottom Line: I was entertained, the problem is everyone on here looks at it from a serious standpoint when all it is is a movie.

**Dragonfly5338** · 06-17-2006, 01:44 AM

I liked the gothic lolita chicks in the movie, haha. But they kinda scare me...

**fut3142** · 06-17-2006, 01:46 AM

saw the movie tonight...definately the best one yet...the first fast and the furious was better than the second one IMO...it had more action than the second one..but tokyo drift definately has more action than both combined and the cars are alot nicer in this one..no civics or tegs or spyders...worth the price of admission...has a few suprises that should lead to the next fast and the furious

**Mchnhead2k5** · 06-17-2006, 01:48 AM

i've got all the time in the world.

on a side note my retrofit of Acura MDX projectors into my crappy ass toyota corolla ebay halo projectors went very well. pics tomorrow.

**B18c-rex** · 06-17-2006, 01:51 AM

^^^^ Best line in the movie ..... As always they left it wide open for a 4th

a 4th!? oh no... haha. well im sure if they do make one, everyone will be just as sceptical as they were about this one but turn out to like it.

also, did they purposely make 'DK' look like johnny tran from the first fast and furious? ... buff asian dude... black tank top... he even sorta looked like him. i mean com on. hahaha

**The Golden Child** · 06-17-2006, 02:00 AM

yea the 4th will be low riding and who can make ther car do back flips .. lolz
i saw it too came back at like 12 but just came back from the bar ..
i give it a 8 out of 10 ..
nice cars hot girls drifting was just crazy ..

**SampaGuy** · 06-17-2006, 02:12 AM

i dunno if im going crazy or something but i swear to god that that azn guy "han"(the one that died) was talking in portuguese to a chick on a particular scene, when most people probably are thinkin its all japanese. wtf?

**Slowboy** · 06-17-2006, 09:11 AM

Yeah i kinda noticed that maybe they wernt speaking japanese the whole time.
But overall it was a great movie, i enjoyed it very much. Love the stang, ending was kinda lame. the ones that saw it know what im talkin bout

**IntegraXTR** · 06-17-2006, 10:09 AM

movie was wack, the chicks in the movie was straight, and a quick appearance from tsuchiya.

**Bruce Leroy** · 06-17-2006, 10:32 AM

better than #2

**The Yousef** · 06-17-2006, 10:40 AM

it was much better then 1&2....i actually enjoyed the movie....

**HeLLo iM iZzY** · 06-17-2006, 12:18 PM

Didnt anyone notice the exhaust on the Stang?? loll...that was so wierd..but the movie wasnt all that bad, i give it at 8/10...

Ya, I haven't seen the movie... but that'd be my biggest gripe with the movie from what I've seen, the mustang with the nissan motor in it.

**Tasuki_Civic** · 06-17-2006, 12:33 PM

who cares if you have an asian gf or not. i thought the movie was oki could have waited for blockbuster. it was a lil corny at times.

**Blownb18c** · 06-17-2006, 01:33 PM

i liked it--better than the first 2--only problem was it was too short--im hopin if they continue the "series" that they just keep getting better---it kind of seemed like the whole Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero series...find the DK the become the new one--anyone else notice that?

**ct9a gsr** · 06-17-2006, 02:03 PM

Ganguro girls are awesome. =]

**HyPer50** · 06-17-2006, 02:28 PM

They need to bring Vin back with the damn Chevelle he had at the end of the first one (after the credits).... So was Vin IN the movie or just a lil cameo appearance at the end?

The black car he drives at the end of the real movie is a charger yes, I'm talkin' about the lil extra scene after the credits, when he's driving down in Mexico or wherever.

when Vin is? Hmm, I never saw that.... well then add to the list

1966 Pontiac GTO, 1970 Dodge Charger, 19?? Chevrolet Chevelle, 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner

Umm... I'm 99.999% sure it was a red and black 1970 Chevy Chevelle... I'll admit it's been awhile since I've seen the movie, but pretty sure thats what it was. Seeing as how it's my dream car and all... pretty sure I didn't mistake that.

**Red** · 06-17-2006, 02:36 PM

just a little cameo at the end for like a minute.

**never_finished** · 06-17-2006, 03:03 PM

**phd1ck** · 06-17-2006, 03:08 PM
