(TODAY) FF3 TOKYO DRIFT (JUNE 16th)

[CrazyBadger]

Actually Bride and Takata are popular US brands, for accurate protrayl, he would be using Recaro's, the seat of choice in japan and he'd be running Willans Harnesses(from UK). Also SPARCO (it's from ITALY, not US) is widely sold in Japan, as well as a lot of the American brands (we like JDM, they like USDM).

Yea I knew SPARCO was Italian, I got ahead of myself.But note the esc after american, meaning not american but reminding me of america. Anyways I stand corrected...

god Im such a loser

Just thought I would post my views..

Since Im so outspoken and so opinionated about this film, I decides to write about this movie Better Luck Drifting. Oh wait was it called Devil Without a D. Hahaha some of you know what Im talking about but if you dont Im talking about the Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drifts striking resemblance to too FNTF 1 and Better Luck Tomorrow, but it seemed like the directors and writers were watching Devil Without A Cause and Initial D while they were directing this thing



But just as I thought this movie was decent a tolerable compared to the first two (especially part 2). Decent story line with good action that had me gasping for my inhaler, I dont know if I was laughing or the action was just that good. But what I like the most they didnt make the Asian characters seem dickless and inferior to the white man like other American films do. They also didnt demonize them but they did set new stereotype, every little kid will think any Asian male over the age of 18 is yakuza lmao. But what got me the most, I could really identify with the Sean Boswell, I rather be working on and driving cars instead of being at school. I am a bit of an outcast do to my obsession with the automobile.



I also liked the fact that Bow wow's character wasnt hyped up to be a super duper drifter. He didnt say that many stupid *Censored**Censored**Censored* lines like "if youre not out of control your not in control", yet he was annoying and the movie could have been just as good with out him. I really wish they hyped up Jason Tobins character more. He is great actor and a very funny dude, he would have been a better right hand man then little bow wow who basically stalked girls and sold bootleg items through out the whole movie. It was real funny watching him try to describe how to drift though "first you pull that e-brake then I want you to power over". But every black man has to be a hustla right? HAHA



The damn movie was too quick too follow though; everything was happening so fast I was like wtf. And the shity fake FOB accents didnt help either, its funny how some of the Asian characters spoke perfect English and some of them sounded like they were speaking broken Cambodian and the fact that some of the Japanese was real bad also. You can tell that most of the actors been in the states for a real long time or just moved to America from Cambodia or Vietnam lmao.



And why were there no clean drift/race scenes, as a guy who spends most of his time watching JDM option movies I was real angry that there wasnt a single race with out destroying a single car. Im a technical guy, I know what clean races look like, so Hollywood please dont try to fool me. In reality all the characters in the movie suck, if only Boswell knew to grip the whole road instead of drift he would have beat him with out destroying his car. Is Stephan Papadakis the ideal drifter then lmao!!



I do take my hat off to all the stunt coordinators/ drivers (Millen, Foust etc) with the help of CG they made drifting look cooler then it really is. Yea the only reason why we drift Is too get girls hahahah lmao. There was also a lot of *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* ups, there were some scenes where you can so totally tell these so called RHD cars were LHD. Thats why they didnt zoom in that much during the in car scenes. Other then that this was a decent movie, as a FNTF movie it was the best. As a film as a whole I would give it a C . But as a drift movie. It was poorer then a homeless guy. Yea there DJs and hella fine chicks at drift meets. Lmao youre lucky to find a couple of hot non model or wanabe model girls at a real legal drift event



But what Im worry about is the after effect. These stupid preadolescent boys (or the men who think like them) need to remember they live in America. You just cant go out and race on the street without out the cops harassing you. Cops are already harassing people who are not racing. Setting up random smog stops, where if they dont like the look of your car they can just pop the hood and write you up a grip of tickets and tow your car. And when you drift on the streets it also affects the legal side of the sports. They already canceled events due to peoples conduct off the track.



So my advise, stay the *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* off the streets. Stay on the track, stop over pricing these "drift" cars and dont give people a reason to give drifters a bad name, this movie has done enough.

Number 3 for the opener..

Universal raced into third place with its street racing sequel The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift which opened with $24M. The PG-13 pic debuted in 3,027 locations and averaged a solid $7,920. The studio generated a strong performance considering this was the third time around for the franchise and that most of the stars of the first two Furious films were nowhere to be found. Young guys were the driving force behind the $75M Drift which like its predecessors appealed to a multicultural audience. According to studio data, 58% of the audience was male, 60% was under 25, and 71% was non-white.

The prequels debuted at number 1 with opening sales of $40.1M then the second at $51.4M.

I think alot of it has to do with the internet. Most of the people I talked to said they downloaded it instead of going to see it.

[drift matic]

i thought the movie was actually entertaining and it was way better than the first and second ones

[AllMotorKing]

I thought the movie was pretty good as well. Judging from those box office receipts I don't think this one is going to make as much money as the 1st two. But w/ the DVD market it could do pretty well.

This time around FAF3 had CARS in the way, no one beats PIXAR.
Also Nacho Libre opened thurs so they got an extra day.
DLing movies has bascially *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ed the whole deal. It's really hurt independent companies badly.
If you don't have a major partner to get you killer distribution you might as well forget about it. Or just use your media as a promotional tool. As a promo you want millions to DL it, but if it goes out as a promo people really don't care about watching it.
As for FAF3 it has video games, toys, rides and other merch so exsposure helps those things.

[oki-san]

you kno, i thought he movie was awesome from a normal persons perspective, from a car lover/drift fan perspective is was mediocre at best. but i loved seeing all the D1/Formula D cars in it haha. and keiichi's cameo made me laugh

[andysapp]

I enjoyed the movie... I thought it was entertaining. It was much better than I anticipated it to be. I didn't think it was 100% accurate in places - but it didn't bother me at all.

It was kinda fun picking out people I know as extras, as well as cars I've run with - so from that angle it was pretty cool.

[NXTLEVELdrifter]

wasn't that bad

This movie turned out to be better than I expected. Though I did cringe through half the movie. When they showed Vin Diasel the whole theater went quiet I hadn't expected him to show up.l
