haha I don't know, but it would be a really horrible movie in a way.


Ziyi as a little boy???
I missed this movie.

I liked Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, its got fast cars, fast kids and scenes of Tokyo nightlife and a semblance of a story. best of all Satoishi Tsumabuki had a cameo role early in the movie. He is uber kawaii. I watching Shinobi now, the romeo and juliet of the ninja world:applaud:

fast cars......yes.

fast kids.....not really :sweat: :sweat:

Scenes of Tokyo Nightlife.....not really.
Only scene was when they drifted though the streets of Tokyo and all those folks having to get out of the way. Yea....that was probably the only scene that shows any bit of Tokyo nightlife.

Tsumabuki making a cameo role in the movie made me only want to see him as the lead because the lead was crappy....I mean the white boy and guy who played DK :bleh: :bleh:

thank goodness tsumabuki didn't have a larger role...he probably would have looked like a fool. he's better off sticking to japanese movies...he's a great actor but i don't think he has the same charisma and english skills such as a ken watanabe that allowed him to play some parts in American movies.

indeed she had the harder role and her portrayal was the center piece of the dorama.

From Wiki:

Flags of Our Fathers is a 2006 film directed by Clint Eastwood and written by William Broyles, Jr. & Paul Haggis. It is based on the book of the same name written by James Bradley and Ron Powers and is the 26th feature film that Eastwood has directed since his directorial debut, Play Misty for Me, in 1971. It stars Ryan Phillippe, Adam Beach, Jesse Bradford, Jamie Bell, Paul Walker, Barry Pepper, Robert Patrick, Joseph Cross, Stark Sands, Neal McDonough, Tom Verica, Ken Watanabe and Melanie Lynskey. Filming took place in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and in Sandvík, Iceland.

Eastwood is also directing a complementary film on the battle from the Japanese viewpoint. Titled Letters from Iwo Jima, it is currently in post-production and is set to be released sometime in December, approximately two months after the release of Flags of Our Fathers.


Wow. I'm more curious about the second film than the first... Kudos to Eastwood. :victory:

im wondering if Flags will be more SPR, or more Windtalkers.

I hear the Japanese are coming out with another movie called Letters to China & Korea from the Yasukuni Shrine.
