The only reason i see that the movie is worth checking out: girls, the sick mods
to the JDM cars, and Tsuchiya in another movie.
I personally will hate this movie like the previous 2. Mainly for the fact, that
it will start flooding the market more-so with wannabe kids, posers, and attract
'50' to any import with an inch drop+, exhaust, HID conv kits, etc. It's a pain
enough that in places cops will pull u over n do a full search to find cust.
turbos, engine swaps, db checks, say absurd things that don't make sense like
"ur HIDs are gonna blind ppl" when u kno damn well that with the right
housing, that would not happen. Then they'll issue the referee tickets.
Comments from my friends have been "yea, since there is a movie about
drifting, then that tells the cops that a bunch of kids will be drifting"
"if that was true, then when a movie about terrorism and war comes out,
there's bound to be more terrorism n war, let's watch the Al Gore movie n learn
about global warming"
-Drifting requires practice, technique, talent, timing, money, money, money,
knowledge of the actual slider, knowing how and where to take the line, etc.
*not just anyone can do it*
The last 2 movies gave rise to such things already, but the intensity of
searches will increase. The thing ppl will have to realize is, is that you can't
drift on surface streets, not with traffic always a factor, and depending on
where you live, there are not many valleys/mts/hills that produce an environment
like the togue. '50' kept an eye out for drag racing more so because of the last
2 movies, which in my mind is a good thing, but not when they become about mods
done to customize a person's own personal vehilce. Any sanctioned event is fine,
but for the ppl who attend the sanctioned event, then leave only to be followed
by '50' for 6 miles, then that's just a pain. *happened at '05 D1*
Car buyers who wish to purchase any RWD like S13-S15 [240SX domestic], AE86 [86
corolla], or any other reasonably affordable RWD will then have to pay a hefty
lil increase when KBB decides to jack the value higher. It has already happened
to those cars, even my MR2 stayed at a higher value for a 14 yr-old
car.
Those who can afford any of the GT-R, Supras, FD, good for you, be careful of BS
fines, and share the wealth.
To those who mentioned Initial D, that was an actual good factor that led to the
popularity of the drift scene, but the D1 events and Falken events contributed a
good amount as well. Remember, not everything revolves animation completely
*mainly for this situation*
nightfire mentioned yakuza, seriously, if ur gonna mess with any kinda mafia or
gang, and u are in their territory u are already marked. bodybags be ready, cuz
in real life you can't mess with yakuza and get away. easy way to learn, meet
some yakuza memebers, they'll tell u some interesting stories. *also no one has
ever heard of drifting yakuza, u actually take a look into the drift scene in Jp
most of the racers are white collar guys, motor sport entrepeneaurs, and
personality wise they're pretty much dorks as well *check out for Chiba-kun,
Ra-Man, and Smoke Nagata"
I kno ppl will say "well it's just a movie" yea... it is a movie, but
there's a difference between a movie that is fictious but with a definite sense
of realizm and a movie that is fictious and completely off the wall. Rounders
Vs. Finding Nemo *yes talking fish!* It's interesting to portray the cars able
to bend the laws of physics a lil enough to gain a certain outcome, like in the
2nd movie where the R34 soars across the bridge, R34s are notorious for being
front heavy, you can look at the car itself and realize that, in reality it
would take a dive n flip, same thing for that Supra, at least realistically the
shocks bottomed out and jacked up the suspension and brake system. For this
movie, I can only imagine that all these cars drifting will drift with only 1
set of tires *reality check: drifting wastes the tires down to the threads [yes
your tires have threads] any 350+hp RWD car will burn the tires down in less
then 5 minutes*
The JDM market is having it's effect on the domestic market greatly, if no one
has heard, NASCAR has actually accepted 3 Toyota Camry V8s to participate in
upcoming races. Inflation of gas prices have caused a shift in ppl getting small
Jp domestic cars *Scion xA, xB, Civics, Corollas, etc.*
This will portray a poor respentation of the Jp import culture, at most
underground organized events there really aren't any ditsy dressed up whorish
girls, or yakuza, or anything else like what was shown in the trailers. There
are Wangan runs otherwise known as Cannonball runs, drifting thru the togues,
but nothing like that which will be shown in the movie. Even Tokyo Auto Salon is
much a business event, just like E3 over here in the US. *you won't find any
Go-Go dancers at Tokyo Auto Salon, just a gang load of race queens* US and JDM
import culture has it's definite differences, typically JDM is considered more
reserved.
the kind who don't know how to listen, no matter how simply you try to explain
something or emphasize a point, the person still manages to not pay fully
attention, or they are selective listeners.
