So the film is out now?

Its going to be fun reading about all the lives lost where dumbasses have tryed drifting, and then actually drove straight into a family. I see it coming, I hope im wrong though.

Remeber guys... "if your not out of control, your not in control" :roll:

huh?

I won't like it, but probably see it, there will be no escape :twisted:

Lets hope there wont be a FF4, but im sure i didnt help that cause :(

I will admit i very much liked the proper Jap tuned monsters, But the stickers is where i draw the line, keep the paint work clean! That chick was about the only thing that turned me on, that was worth the $5.50au movie ticket :mrgreen:

(change the XX to TT)

Ok, I watched it too and I admit I was kinda surprised since I managed not to stop halfway through it!


Possible spoilers...




Most of the stuff is so exagerated and over the line that you just don't bother about the details. The cars are the usual piece of riced shit, and the stunts not so impressive. But there are some nice powerslides here and there, and although there is for sure some edtiing cutting here and there, some of hte races are quite interesting. Too bad most of it is at night :bah: it kinda makes it harder to understand what's going on, but the drifting in the car park, if real, is top notch :D
The Mustang with Nissan I6 engin is funny as hell LOL :D

I adored Keiichi Tsuchiya cameo and was damn surpised to see Vin Diesel at the end :!:

No shit, it's the usual FF stuff but it's enjoyable, and I kinda liked the idea of this "young" lad (of course the actor is too old for his role IMO) moving to Japan and discovering the car scene, the mafia problems and such.. really nice japanese atmosphere throughout the movie :!:

^^ only problem is "street drifitng" and "street racing" is no longer the rage in Japan ;)

Most of it is at night - as thats the easiest type of light to do alll the fake CG and slow-motion "stunys" ;)

Well, anyway I doubt the stuff they pretend "normal" in the movie was ever the rage down there ;) this doesn't detract to a movie that anyway doesn't want to be realistic ;)

I saw the movie the other night and enjoyed it for what it was, a good popcorn movie. The cars were certainly more realistic- no neon or goofy stickered cars, no multi-colored exhaust flames. These cars were representative of the actual cars that you would see in that area of the world.
I saw no CG effects as far as how the cars performed, what you saw is what the drivers actually did. Remember the scene in the commercial when you see the 350Z drift up that very narrow lane that circles up to the top of the garage? The director thought that the scene could not be done by actually drifting, they were talking about using cables and such to give the impression that the car was actually drifting. Rys Millen told the director that he thought that he could do it, and he did without touching the walls at all.
The only time that I suspected that they used CG was when the two drift cars touge' down the mountain in the movie's climax. It was a distant shot of the two cars racing and then the camera zooms out as the cars rush by.
From what I understand, over 120 cars were modified for this film. The main cars had extensive engine and suspension upgrades. The main 350Z that the 'baddie' drives was a twin-turbo powered car that put out 450 hp to the wheels. That Chevelle that we see in the beginning of the movie racing the Viper had a 500+ cubic inch big block with some serious suspension work. And that '67 Mustang with the Skyline engine- Me likey!

Am I crazy or do I see only sort of positive reviews so far? :D so I am not alone ;)

All I can say is.... I was surprised.

Well atleast they stopped trying to have a plot.

well you boys convinced meto go see it and I was very suprised I think it was the best of the 3 but yes Bow Wow didn't have to be in there. did anyone else realize that the rich boy that drives dadies Viper into the concrete pipe was the oldest kid from Home Improvement?

I liked it too, suprisingly. The end of movie was the best imo :D
