Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006 - 6:59pm
So I've seen the Fast and Furious videogame, and somehow have avoided the first 2 movies of the franchise. The only thing I know of them? They have car races and one has Vin Diesel (the first, because hey, after that he was a star.)
Now they have a third, Tokyo Drift, just caught a commercial trailer for it, and they had him in the commercial. But, he isn't in the movie according to IMDB. Did this movie turn out so fekkin bad that they needed him in the advert?

We so do not need a thread about this.
But yes, it looks even more awful than the previous two, if such a thing is possible.

A saw a snippet of the stars talking to the media during the movie's release somewhere, and if the movie is half as dumb as them, we may be talking Uwe Boll-stuff here.

I saw a trailer for a Chinese movie about drift racing while watching a DVD a while back. They appear to be years ahead of us in the field of making movies about drifting. We need to close the drifting gap, immediately. Why are we spending money on space shuttles when our astronauts could be drifting?
Here are some semi NSFW promo pictures for the movie. Enjoy.

I go along just because I'm lazy. I go along to be with you.
Pretty nice. Still not a snowball's chance in hell of me seeing this movie.

Here's my dilemma. This movie will probably suck, but I think drifting is pretty darn awesome (Initial D anyone?) so I sort of want to see it.

Don't risk it, you know deep down that you'll regret the loss of time and money if you do see it.

From what I gather, the scriptwriters discovered a new word (drift), and decided to make a movie about it. As if it's something only done by super-professional racers in Tokyo, and no one in America knows about it.

I enjoyed the first two movies and will see this one as well.

That sound you hear is my respect for you plumetting.

I agree with this move. Though, I say that about most movies nowadays, since the entertainment value rarely outweighs the cost.
Luna, you are now my heroine of the day. Thank you.
Don't make us stage an intervention.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person (out of 3000!) on this board that can just watch a movie and not be so critical of it. I know you were being good natured QS, but this board can be so overly critical on 'popcorn' movies. Every movie does not have to be oscar worthy or make you cry or be LotR.

Heh, they showed the trailer for this at a X-men 3 premier/party I went to and all I could hear was a great collective groan.
Man, I'm a huge fan of Split Second, which surely makes me a target in someone's book. But this is a movie about cars sliding sideways. Sliding sideways! A whole movie!

How can you drift on the streets of Tokyo? That place has as many traffic jams 24-7 as NYC.

Drifting in Tokyo - incredulous

Glad we got that cleared up.

That last one would only be incredulous if the bridge was made of plastic.

The drifting movie from China I saw advertised had it set in Hong Kong, which look hilly and involved the cars spinning around these hairpin turns. I've never been to Tokyo, but in the Godzilla movies I've seen it looked pretty flat. And the buildings looked pretty flimsy. Almost like they were made out of cardboard and glue.
Boobies + riceboys + ripoff of the last 20 min. of Bullet in the Head = ?
edit: I guess (invoking Chandler) in Tokyo they'd just call them "boys," and their cars "rockets."

No, it's not just the Godzilla movies, if Kaiju Big Battel is to be believed.

I enjoyed the first one but this makes me roll my eyes. I've been to tokyo...it's rather crowded all of the time.

According to Aint it cool news Vin Diesel is in the last race of this movie.
I'm bringing sexy back!
Of course he is. They had to bring in another gaijin to present the hero with a REAL challenge.

My wife and I saw the movie tonight and throughly enjoyed it.

A little late now for me to go see it. I kinda wanted to go see it. Not sure why, possibly to shout NAWWWSSS at random moments during it. Would have gone with fellow gamers at current Lan Party.
Oh no, it was watching The Hulk that added you to my list of targets.
