I heard Cars has a more realistic portrayal of Japanese cars and life than Tokyo Drift :P

After a long time of hesitation, I finally got around to watching Tokyo Drift and, well... apart from being amused when I saw Satoshi, Keiko and the dude who played Ryoko's dad in Dekichatta Kekkon, I found it really... I can't find the right word to describe it... It was something, but not in a good way. There's a lot that's wrong with this movie. The race scenes I think were overdone and unrealistic, especially the part where they drift out of the parking lot exit and into the street with only about an inch or two of clearance in the front and rear end of the car, that was just way too exaggerated. You'd think with all the ruckus they made in downtown Tokyo, you could've seen at least one police car trying to trail them or heard a faint sound of their sirens. :shakehead: People who might not know anything about drifting and watch this will get the impression that drifting is something bad and violent, while in fact it is not. It is a popular and recognized motorsport in Japan, if I'm not mistaken (Somebody correct me on this if I'm wrong.). The only other thing that amused me, apart from seeing some of the Japanese actors in the movie, is seeing the Drift King himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya, play a cameo role as the fisherman during the drift practice scene. It makes me wonder what the real Drift King thought of the movie, if he ever watched it... :dotdotdot:

my friend to spend money watching that movie is akin to having it sucked in the black holes that ayumi hamasaki calls "eyes."

it's like having a morbid curiousity to watch a train wreck...you know it's going to be diaster but your are compelled to watch the fiery hell that will shortly ensue.

i'm sure the only authentic part of that movie was Satoshi Tsumabuki's Japanese accent when he said the word "Go."

You took the words right out of my mouth my friend. :say_yes: I had this gut feeling that I wouldn't like what I would see, but, like you said, I just had too see it.

the first FntF was unrealistic. I stopped watching after my cousin came back from doing technical assistance on a few scenes and told me about them.

then again, it IS a movie afterall.

that's life, buddy. the first one was the least offensive among the three although i fully agree it wasn't realistic either.....

realism is not present in those films....

You're right in that respect. :say_yes:

Movies like that are usually categorized in the action genre if I'm not mistaken. But with what they did, they might as well just change it to science fiction and put it along Star Trek and Star Wars.

Anybody see The Devil Wears Prada? It's pretty good, and Anne Hathaway is especially hot in the movie.

SNAKES ON A PLANE starring Samuel L. Jackson.

....i can't believe they actually made this movie...it sounds like a gay porno.



A ruthless assassin unleashes a crate full of lethal snakes aboard a packed passenger jet over the Pacific Ocean in order to eliminate a witness in protective custody. The rookie pilot and frightened passengers must band together to survive.

Ryan Seacrest stars as the "snake handler" ~ the expert snake stroker, chicken choker......
