'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' WTF?
Speaking as someone who really liked the first two films, the first one because it reminded me of Point Break only with cool cars and the second because of Eva Mendes, this third one is just grasping at straws. To base an entire plot around drifting, something that is common in Rally racing, is deperate in the extreme.
You can't base an entire film around something as trivial as drifting during a race, that's like making a movie based on the snow that get's kicked up while one is skiing.

Pass lol.

Re: 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' WTF?
I think this movie is gonna be a fair sized hit. I'd rather be dead than see it but I still think that there's a big teen and gearhead market that'll want to see it.
If you're brave, go to the theater on opening night and wait outside for one of the showings to end and watch all the morons that'll drive out of the parking lot at 100 miles per hour because they just saw Lil Bow Wow do it.  |

Re: 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' WTF?
Actually, I'm leaning toward giving it a chance since they finally dumped Paul "I never met a sentence I couldn't end with 'bro' " Walker for Lucas Black (Caleb from "American Gothic"). Sounds like an improvement to me, and as long as there's some good racing....

I may give this a chance on DVD, or even when it hits the cheap theaters. Not much of a fan of the first one, but found the second ridiculously entertaining.

lol! I'd so see that. But, if it's gonna be "Alpine Swoosh", why not call it "The Fast and the Flurrious"?  |

Re: 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' WTF?
Another thing that bothers me about this sequel...there are no hotties to speak of. The first had Jordana Brewster and the sequel had Eva Mendes, who's the female in this one?

There is a type of racing called "drifting" that is quickly rising in popularity.

Re: 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' WTF?
"Quickly rising in popularity"....how about been around for years and they are just trying to cash in on it just like the first two crap-tacular films?
The first one was up there with the worst movies ever for me, and the second one I didn't even bother to finish.
