Tokyo Drift
 

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.

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...

han .. great guy ..
i love nila .. the brazilian model .. she is sexy ..

i hope to find a friend like han ..

Totally lame ... they picked a really low american DUDE so the asien dudes don't were looking to little haha ::::::: and thats prob. why BOW WOW got the permission to even play in the movie

cooooooooool so coool

the only worth watching of this movie is Sung Kang and the Cars ...:mtongue:

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... :mtongue:

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...:mtongue:

i watched that movie only coz it was filmed in Japan but i was disappointed coz i felt there is something wrong..thanks for Nyororin now i know what's the wrong with that movie

Dude that is exactly what my friends kept saying, that it some how copies Inital D.
And i don't know if i can say that they copied inital d but i can say that tokyo drift was a waste of my time. Twas the worst Fast and the furious serie made. Nothing good of it, arg i was soo aggravated when watching...however the ending where you see Vin Disel was the only high point of the movie. Anticipates his "possible" return :-/...but besides that the movie sucked balls in all forms.

ive seen it was pretti good i lyk the song tho lol
its very catchy lol

Btw, aside from Keiko Kitagawa, there's one more thing i sort of like from the movie...One of the songs that was played there was from an old yet highly respected Japanese punk band. It was a cover song, 'Top of the World' by Shonen Knife...i'm not too sure though if this all-female band is still active playing music in japan...:vsign:

Not even close. XD

I will admit though, I love that movie. Terrible acting, paper thin plot, goofy characters, but if your a car nut (like myself) it's like watching porn. A '67 Mustang with the Nissan RB26DETT for an engine... Rediculous? Yes. Impractical? Very. Blasphemous? Absolutly. Awesome? HELL YES!!!

UTUUOKPKLÇ:mtongue: :ywave: :cool:

tokyo drift...yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
i love it...i usually don't like movies of that genre but tokyo drift was just amazing

ano...TOKIO DRIFT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wached it like 5 or 6 times i don't even know
it's sooooooooooooo freaking great:)

Go try drifting and tell us if it feels like japanese, DUH!

I liked some parts of Tokyo Drift even though most of it was horrible. But on a side note a friend of mine went to Hawaii and he said he felt like he was in Japan and he hated it. He said next time he has to make sure he goes to a different island because all he ate was Japanese food the entire time.

i watched this movie
its was awesome i want to again and again :D

hi
ı am living turkey
tokyo drift wonderful good film
I like watch film

yeah this movie was good. I didnt like the american (backwoods hick accented) actor and Vin Deisil's appearance in the film was a little cheesy but that is just my opinion. I Really enjoyed how they did tokyo though and the Yakuza are always cool in my book. I laughed so hard when that green box car (the xb looking one) came out with the hair on top ha ha! That was rediculous. Another movie along those lines I enjoyed was Initial D (the movie)

Just thought I'd mention that I love that movie and I get so excited everytime the name is mentioned....I love it that much....I wish Japan weree really like that because then i would move there in a heartbeat, just to be with the cars! I love cars.....hence i love the movie......anyway, just thought I'd say i love it........and Vin Deisel....I love him too.....

I agree with the comparison of Tokyo drift vs Initial D I love the realism of the racing... where as Tokyo drift was a little flashy. Not a bad thing for either but I see the difference as well.. just thought I would clearify.:mtongue:

o man i wish kyoto wuz lyke dat..and trust me, it does not portray at all!!!!...u dont ever see that many foreigners in Tokyo in a regular school unless its a foreign language school

no go
 

I hated that movie it made no sense i like the first two better they at least tried to make sense:)

wow I'm offended and plus I love Hawaii :mtongue:

yea alot of japanese people in hawaii...

i still have to get this movie....

I saw tokyo drift on the cable the other night; the cars were amazing, but waay too many characters speaking perfect english. I don't think it was an accurate portrayal of the subculture, but, hey!, it's a movie, after all.

I love Tokyo Drift...

It was awsome to watch in a movie teather...

the movie of initial d - drift racer was much better i thought

Yea Jay Chou wuz pretty gud in Inital D In my opinion but he wuz criticized by alot of movie critics

i generally don't read movie reviews,i prefer to just watch them and if i like them i like them lol i really like the way they got most of the cars from the series right.plus the whole thing was very well shot

I've wanted to see Tokyo drift. I've seen the other fast&furious movies. it came out in theaters last year around my birthday and i wanted to go see it for my b-day but i didn't vv'

I've been to the spots where they filmed, nothing that crazy goes on =P

i also met Nathalie Kelley (Neela) in omotosando =)

shes very pretty and very nice. cant believe shes the same age as me =D

only chatted for like a few seconds and got a photo.
didnt want to bother her too much.

how fun! ^^
i still haven't gotten to see it v.v'
