I just came back from the theatre, where my roomate and I watched The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift. When we got there, there was a small group of tuner cars parked together, including a WRX STi, some hondas, a Mazda3, and then I stuck mine in the middle...lol
The movie, wasn't bad actually, I kinda liked it, and there was some awesome cars and photography in the movie. Oh yeah, and all the Japanese models were ok to look at as well...lol...I think the $9.75 I paid to see it was worth it, I was entertained, and I wasn't quite sure how the movie was going to end up. The opening of the movie is pretty awesome, and it's different from the first 2 movies. He gets to race Tim the Toolman Taylors oldest son in his viper through a housing development...you'll see what I mean...

LMFAO, imagine doing that on your morning commute on the GO Train.
im gonna hit it up on tuesday i think.
I heard it was crap compared the the first two... but that won't stop me from buying it on dvd, I just probably won't pay to see it in theatres... probably.
It's worth seeing as a way to burn a couple of hours. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
There were a few modified sport compacts out last night; it's pretty bad when I know most of the ones that showed to watch Tokyo Drift :D
Ya I'll probably go and see it as well. Although I feel bad for all those guys riding around in japanese looking so called "drift cars" the cops are gonna be ALL over them.

What are you talking about? that's a preview of Fast and the Furious 4: The Shinkansen Drift
Just came back from seeing it....I like it.
it will be a rental, not a theatre veiwing.
Well, if you can go and see it for less than 20 bux, it's worth it...it was a LOT more entertaining for me than I expected it to be...
it was alright - the ladies - NICE!!!!!!
I think will not be paying to see this in theatre.... Maybe I'll watch it on the movie network, or a chopped up tbs version when i'm bored one night in the future... i own the first one.. it was ok.. and i think i have seen the 2nd one completely now from all the portions i've managed to see.... Why would i want to see a movie that destoys a saleen i the first portion.... and finishes by killing a yenko camaro and a challenger.... Its funny the new movie has a 67 mustang or whatever year with a nissan motor... but to get it to "drift" they had to go back to a V8... how do you like them apples?
All these movies are good for are for making stupid kids in thier mom's old beat up 240sx or escort or whatever to think they have a race car.... AS WELL as put this huge spotlight on anyone who has anyhting but stock on thier car.......
(+) good looking riced out cars..... (-) too much drifting for me........its like every where they go they gotta pull the e brake......rich lil high school kids with 80 thousand dollar cars
From what I've heard from my uncle who goes overseas to Asia a fair amount... it's not that far removed from the truth as far as the cars go.
One of my dad's best friends bro lives and works in Tokyo. I guess the film was released there a lot sooner, because he saw it, and told both my dad, and his brother they should go see it. He said it's a very good representation of the way things are over there. Guess the drift scene is THAT big there in real life...
I've been drifting since i had my old stang in the say 98-99.... but it was a 4 banger and i had to wait for rain or snow.... just ask my friends... if it gets slick out my stang will be driving sideways down a straight road.... i tend to try and behave more or less now... but I have fun with the 5.0L now
That whole drifting around a car in a circle... try a shopping cart!!! :P
Try winter drifting a 1990 Chev Celeb Eurosport Wagon around light standards in a parking lot... with no e-brake. It CAN be done, and done well.
Just ask Sara ;)

Was that with the 4 cyl or the V6? (Curiousity more than anything) I tried a low speed drift around a corner in the snow of an 1988 Chev Celeb sedan with the V6. There was no drift, it just plowed straight ahead <_< and the e-brtake was one of those floor mounted pedals anyways so useless to drift with.
