fast and the furious : tokyo drift

As mux said before it really doesnt matter what the reallity is; i dont care if they shot the whole thing in a studio, if they make it as it is.. and the clichees of the japanese culture included in the film i took seriously just about as much as the drifting in the film.. in my eyes it was just a thing to make the movie more fun / funnier Very Happy

.

I really hated the remarks of some people during the film. few examples: "Yeah riight, that cant be true" or " haow can he beat taht guy if that car has a bigger turbo" and "tha car can only have about 300 hp not 500" etcetera.. i mean, hellooo! did you come here to se a documentary or a movie..

So with the distance kept, one could really enjoy this movie, no matter how skilled one is in RL mechanics/drifting/racing etc..

What really was funny is the rewiev of teh film, one of our leading weekly magazines wrote. I dont remember the whole deal but here's what i remember and it went somthing along the lines of theese: "The drifting is loosing control of the car and controling it in taht state... japaneese use "rice-rockets" (thats just ignorant!!).... everyone also have "the magical substance that makes the car really fly (i think they were talking about nitrous).... and with the aid of standalone fuel managment system they get monstrous acceleration.."

There was alot more written to that effect, but i think you get the picture.. Very Happy

f*cking idiots Blonde question

Nopes, sounds like 99% af the population..not counting the 1% idiots who actually take the time to dive into car tech instead of just letting the mechanic sort it.

The definition of drifting is quite accurate I think...wasn't it something along the lines of making the car seem as out of controll as possible, without it actually being out of control?

'D'K' in the movie has a Corolla....

because the Han asks the "yakuza guy" when he will put his 86 corolla up, and he replies, when will you put your 72 skyline up... or something along those line.

Face it, the movie is made to snotty teenagers with acne and scooters, who have wet dreams of owning a car.

I can't say I loved it. It more kind of surprised me and made me laugh enormously. Very Happy

Loved the action though. Smile
