I'm not either of those last two posters, but I'll say this.

Quit typing with one hand. You obviously cant do it.

Dont be a hypocrite.

You really have to be 18 or older. It's in the rules.

Nah, the movie is meant to be an americanized ripoff of the Initial-D popularity thing, and in that they say Go as well.

I like how people are bashing on a film that appeals to a very particular demographic with no justification and only junior-high penis comments. I happened to love the movie. If I were to use the previaling logic in this thread, I could say I love the movie and anybody who doesn't agree with me has microscopic genitals!! OMGWTFLOL!!!

They called the AE-86 a Corolla. I'm sad. Oh, well, at least they mentioned the thing. Requesting a gif of Sean flipping the Monte Carlo over for "you fail."

Japanese youth eat up American culture often, just as American youths often do with Japanese culture. He'd say either, likely.

the way he said "Go" sounded really fobby

That movie was really boring. I predicted the whole thing. I even guess that Vin Diesel would show up in some how. I liked the soundtrack though.

AHH, GOOD TIMES

I laugh my ass off every time I see the commercial.. 'a NEW type of racing called drift' very funny.
this movie will probably be as silly as the last two, but I still enjoy watching them, movies are all about entertainment neh ?
>> V.O.S.
It's movies like these that just....I dunno.

It's also kinda annoying (to me) how in the commercial the guys like "whaddya mean 'drift'?" Who the hell doesn't know, even in a smidge of a thought, what 'drift' would mean? And....how the hell is this a "new" kind of racing technique and/or 'world'? It's been around for a long time...

Also in a thing I watched about the making about it, all they said was you just pull the E-brake and turn the tires to drift...but from what I've seen on Initial D's first two stages, and Extra Stage, there's a LOT more to drifting than that.

...wish I had a car to do that with, my truck sucks. ;_;

Because not every damn person in the world is an Initial D fanboy. To most people drifting is new - especially in the US where NASCAR is king with Indy and drag being very distant contenders. Now, it can be argued that anyone who is planning on seeing this movie already knows what drifting is, but I digress.

In the movie I don't understand why:

a.) main character not asian-american or half-breed (would make the most sense).

b.)the main character (white guy) doesn't get a hot japanese girl in Tokyo, instead the girl is some other mixed ethnicity.

that line isnt even in hte movie. neither is "its called drifting"

the actual movie stays pretty good in that regard, doesnt ever really treat the audience as COMPLETELY unintelligent about that. and its funny to see the main character attempt to drift without knowing how.

As new to us as Ridge Racer...circa mid-90's. Probably earlier than that...

You ironically mention NASCAR...in Daytona USA, drifting was pretty much essential to beating the arcade track 3 "Seaside Street Galaxy". I'm pretty sure that ever pre-dated Ridge Racer.

Had they just said it's a relativley unknown racing style in the US, as opposed to just calling it "new", I probably wouldn't be laughing so hard at the proclamation.

I watched this film last night. Most of the arguments in this thread are invalid, due to the hated lines (new style of racing...) aren't actually in the movie.
If you imagine asian faces on the western characters, you notices it's just a great eastern action film. Lots of racing, lots of unnecessary but cool looking CG, lots of engrish.

And yes, there's a good excuse why most of the characters speak english. They're all links to the local American army bases and tourist trades.

It doesn't try to overexplain anything. Just lets you in and has some fun. The only bad point is a cameo by Vin Diesel at the very end. It's there just to show that it's really part of the Fast and Furious series.

What you talking about Drift racing has been around for over 60 years in the states we just called it Dirt track racing. Same thing just oneon dirt other on pavement. Also same thing as Rally Racing they been drifting for years.

Stop crying.
You can drift pickups well enough on dirt roads.
Just be careful because the backend is light.
I used to drift my '87 1/2ton chevy pickup all the time. And I don't wanna hear anybody with big SUVs crying either. I learned to drift in an '83 3/4ton 4X4 diesel Suburban.

I'll admit I dismissed this movie as a no substance rice fest, but from I understand it's actually pretty good..

I can't see it. :/ I'm too big of an ID fan, I'll spend the entire movie wishing I was watching ID the Live Action movie, contrasting and comparing.
>> Anonymous
This was also acceptable because the movie ended with a DOWNHILL DRIFT BATTLE... although quite an aggresive one.

Did anyone else seem to find the 350Z to be almost entirely INDESTRICTIBLE?

Frankly I wish the story would be closer to ID, make the main character Japanese-american or other and give Justin lin the full lee-way in making the script. The reason why the story sucks is because they had to come up with a contrived plot device so a white guy can come in and race against the initial D crowd.

The AE-86 IS a Corolla. AE86 is just the chassis code. In Japan, the vehicle is called the Corolla Sprinter Trueno, and in the States and Europe, it's known as the Corolla GT-S (also seen as SR5).

I never saw the F&F movies... every time someone heard I liked ID, they'd immediately say, "OMG you'd love F&F!! It's exactly like ID!".... which... didn't seem likely, to me.

I actually thought this movie was much better than the Initial D live action movie. The driving is great in both though. Best part was seeing Toshi from Apex make a cameo and Keiichi Tsuchiya fishing, that made me LOL.

Rhys Millen, his dad Rod Millen, Tanner Foust, Sam Hubinette and a few more drifters.

Keichi Tsuchiya fishing WAS the best part. The worst was Vin Diesel's terribly forced cameo. I can't argue about the cars because doing so is like arguing about comic book characters. (e.g. "The carbon fiber modded RWD z was trying to destabilize a 4wd LanEvo, htf.") However, the Mustang (heavy, bad weight dist) at the end was a terrible idea and a poop on drift racing. Blah blah blah, disregard, etc.

"Tokyo Drift" wasn't the most exciting movie to hit the screens, but it wasn't the worst. It was just a fun movie to sit down and watch for a while. You know, for entertainment. Not to raise high upon a pedastle and judge against standards as insurmountable as mighty Olympus itself.

- The lead American character introduces American audiences to one or two precepts commonly known by most residents of Japan.

- The movie was made by a Chinese director known for his action sequences.

- "Drifting" was never referred to as a new driving style, nor as a recent attraction in Japanese culture. And no one said that the Americans hadn't done it before. Race car drivers do know how to drift, but they don't dedicate themselves to perfecting their drifting techniques. At best, they power slide. Drifting has a little more finesse.

- The female lead was the daughter of an Australian mother. Do you know what the standard genetic lines are for residents of Australia? There pretty much are none. Plus, you have no idea what her father was like.
She was recognisably an outsider from the rest of the crowd. And this is what the movie focused on. Being an "outsider". Not original, but the point regardless.

- Japanese culture has more and more been taking cues from American society. Japanese culture is based around a more inwardly reflective nature, not making a stark show of itself. Fast and shiny cars are against classic Japanese style in and of itself.

"- Japanese culture has more and more been taking cues from American society. Japanese culture is based around a more inwardly reflective nature, not making a stark show of itself. Fast and shiny cars are against classic Japanese style in and of itself."

Fail. "Inwardly reflective nature" was stamped out long ago in Japanese culture along with your precious "classic Japanese style" back in the 70s. Stop spouting bullshit propaganda and learn to recognize that paraphrasing textbook Japanese stereotypes does not make you look learned in any way. What next? Are you going to expound on the timelessness of the samurai code of honor? Fucking bullshit.

"English expressions, thanks to large numbers of American movies, become more and more common in daily speech. Have any weeaboo's here watched an anime and heard a character exlaim "Mission Start", "Showtime", or "Let's go"? English is seen as adding an edge of cool and radicalism to even the most mundane of actions."

Fail once again. Just as you hear only weeaboos saying "baka kawaii neko" out of the vast 250+ million strong American population, neither does spotting "Showtime" in anime mean that American speech is getting more common in everyday Japanese conversation.

I'd call you an ignorant fuck as well but the rest of your observations on the movie make sense.

That still doesn't excuse your fucking ignorance.

How does the point still stand? You're still talking bullshit. Drifting is new to the protagonist, and new to the Fast and the Furious movies. Hence, it is new. You think that by new it means "OMG WE INVENT OUR OWN SPORT 4 MOVIE111"", but that's because you're an idiot.
