Tokyo Drift

Ryoutsu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hey. Has anyone seen The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift? I was wondering if that portrayed the actual life and culture of Tokyo, Japan at all. I'm well aware that much of the movie wasn't even filmed in Japan, but I wanted to know if it was more or less accurate to the way Japanese culture is.

Also, are the roads really painted all cool and futuristic like they come from a Video game in Japan, like it shows in some scenes of Tokyo Drift?

Thank you.

I`ve seen little bits and pieces of it, and NO, it does not portray anything even close to real life and culture in Japan.

Last night I finally watched it! (aphrodite recorded it for me...POORLY I might add...I had to have closed caption on with the tv turned ALL the way up and had to strain to hear the Japanese...*sigh*)
But it was good!! Didn't have much bakground story to it, just kind of "thrown together" past...but the cars were hot...and so were some of the characters!

storyline of the movie is not good

about the potrayal if it was the same in japan, i think they are not close to it....maybe the school scene like the uniforms and stuffs...

honestly i didn't like it too much the 1st part is the best i think
but the good thing in tokyo drift that it took us to a nice journey to japan
to watch new sights away from usual american sights in most movies

I watched Tokyo Drift...but was not too impressed...cuz' i think it somehow borrowed a lot of things from 'Initial D'...Initial D is much better and more original...

But one thing i liked from Tokyo Drift is that it starred Keiko Kitagawa though she had a lesser role...She is a Japanese idol who played the role of Sailor Mars in the Sailor Moon live action show Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. She has been a model for the Japanese Seventeen magazine since late 2003...
