Looks interesting. looks like part 2 but they're going sideways.

get ready for a shitty 2006 for us Nissan owners. I hope to sell my car with fnf TAX.
Park my car infront of the theater on opening day, put 20K price tag on it and sell it to some ricer.

I see the other thread but that's mostly filled with rants

Look at the first 2 movies. there were only 1 civic and 1 integra. See what it did to the honda community?
240sx are cheap to own and cheap to drift. S14 are rare enough, I can see the prices going up for these cars. S13 doesn't have a chance tho. Look at the price value for the damn AE86.

ALTRNTV
03-16-2006, 08:11 PM
True, but Civics and Integras were already known to most people back then, unlike the 240sx. One of the main cars in the first one was a RX-7 and Supra, but you didn't see people jumping all over them.

The prices for both the RX-7 and Supra are fairly high considering how old they are. Also not too many of them around...which is why we don't see people jumping over them.

LOL @ southern accented protagonist, a Tokyo that looks hella like L.A. (especially the desert, wtf?! There arn't any deserts in the Tokyo area), also at the females that are supposed to be Japanese but look more like Mexican or Filipino girls, also at the Japanese people who speak perfect english.

03-16-2006, 10:02 PM
well..it could be looked at as a way of girls are sometimes dumb when it comes to cars..they will know more about 240s so if u need to get laid it might help that. lol

i am film major at UCI and i think this movie targeted the wrong group with the wrong messages....Movies are powerful, and people are going to misinterpert many messages.
1. Drifters like us don't drift on the streets...so the movie fucked drifting up, imagine now what people are gonna think about sports of driftin....
2. The target audience is the younger kids, and that will mess kids up when they can drive
3. The cars are too ugly, and that's fucked up
4. crashes and street racing, again, tuners and car lovers will now face police aggression to a extreme degree.....sad
5. the drifting seems so unrealistic... playing with the speed of the film really doesn't help anything.

Anyways, I hated when i see hollywood films mess up the image of drifters, i am just pissed right now

03-16-2006, 11:24 PM
ugh.. looks like its going to be terrible...

i think im still gonna check it out though. maybe ill go with a bunch of friends and scream random stuff in the theatre.. i don't know.


oh and did anyone notice all the car cameos?

i think i spotted the signal auto skyline, falken rx7, and a couple other cars from formula d :tweak:

overall, the lead actor doesnt seem to fit.. along with bow wow

DJ_Sunrise
03-16-2006, 11:31 PM
wow.. wonderful.. before the 1st f and f, it was so easy to get away with most everything from cops.. 2nd f and f ment rediculous troubles and hassling, 3rd f and f.. i can only imagine how fucked up the cops are going to get.. well.. this gives me an excuse to.. i dunno.. im so pissed. if the 240 scene gets fucked with, ill have to sell my car and get some shitty pos american car to avoid hassling by the popo.. wonderful... not to mention all the cars that ill see trying to drift in the middle of the fuckin street, which does not represent our community nor the sport.. kinda haha. shit. :-/ this was me before in my s14:2f2f: this is me now:fawk2:

I always pray and hope that people know the difference between Hollywood, and real life, and don't try stupid shit like "DRIFT RACING." But there's always some dumb kid in the middle of ass crack no where that thinks that is how people actually do it.

But that aside, I guess arguing or stating on our personal opinions on the movie still wont change a thing about the future, so we just got to wait and see.

So, you're "=\" because of the lack of diversity, or because Asians dont get "respect" in Hollywood?

i see more people are gonna gawk over asian girls now.. =\

What does that have to do with Asians getting "respect" in Hollywood?

And why did you edit your post if your intent was to comment on the lack of "respect" Asians receive in Hollywood?

Sometimes people need to learn how to shut the fuck up. WTH is wrong with you making this racial? By adding, "jk" doesn't mean it's light hearted. You're still a fool by stating so.

i remember reading a thread about this movie a few months back and a lot of the posts were saying that they would not go see it and it would be terrible. i know ill go see it and hope it won't be terrible.

i think i read somewhere that rj de vera was involved in the making of the film which would explain a lot of the veilside and the fact that they used veilside in the first movies. they just tried to go for the eye catching cars (350z, rx8, etc.) that will make all the people who know nothing about drifting go oohh and aahh when they watch it. the general audience doesn't want to see some 8-21 (kouki s14-corolla gt-s) year old cars sliding around, it wouldn't be as impressive in their minds.

it is gauranteed that the prices of our cars will sky-rocket but all we can do is either ride it out or sell high. isn't that the principles of business "buy low, sell high".

i really want to know what the story is for this one and how they are going to explain that hick (i am from nebraska i am qualified to say that) being in japan.

sorry for that rant, thats all for now...

It'll only be a matter of time though before f&f 4 comes out (Too fast too dirty/too rainy/too snowy) where the main feature will be rally racing and AWD's will get hit just like the FWD/RWD crowd. It'll glorify the "magic" behind having AWD and making the scenes to where AWD can "Magically" make any driver into a rally racing champ:P

3) my car WILL be stolen. market value up = higher theft rates T_T (time to take out some fuses not :C )
4) making me reconsider the regional meet cuz alot of idiot kids will be there cuz its a 240 THING OMGWTFBBQDRFT
5) im still goin to watch it. that once scene up the car lot ramp was pretty interesting :D

I dunno seems pretty entertainign and ricy. most likely going to watch it with a bunch of friends but most likely not taking our cars. the theatre's here in so cal might get to be a cop's wet dream on opening night. specially all those SR swaps. so we'll just probably go in our mom's car or something. ionos definetly going to see it tho. so the sport is ruined, the 240's are gonna be in, shit happens and we gotta deal with it. so we will. :squint:

that kinda pissed me off at first... but then i realized it was true for most kids my age. Atleast i can say that i'm not one of them.

with the movie, there's been so many threads about this already haha.. the movie is just another entertainment/advertising movie like the other f&f films. Its every ricers/14-17year old kid's 'dream' to be a dorifto master in Japon!


that actor used to be in some damn disney movie about him riding his horse to meet his dad Lmao

Overall i think the movies are fun...except for the downside of cops profiling racers more and people dying because some tool got all hyped as he comes out of the theatre and drifts through a stoplight.

I haven't even seen the 2nd one so what are you talking about? I'd never waste money/time going to a theatre to see rubbish.. If the 2nd or 3rd one happens to be on tv one of these days and i have a couple hours to kills then i will waste my time watching these flicks if not then i will never rent/buy these movies. Easy as that

the F&F series will singlehandedly destroy every sub group of car tuners untill there is nothing left.

my prediction is they get into low riders and trucks next...
and Hector will make his return...........

lol, interesting theory. Its like the F&F movies provide business for the aftermarket/japanese automotive sector, and at the same time produce city revenue by having cops giving out tickets, and also the automotive garages too (people wanting to put giant decals on their car or body kits, etc) things like that. But whoever wins, we always lose. haha

One of the main cars in the first one was a RX-7 and Supra, but you didn't see people jumping all over them

I'm not sure how old you were in 1998-1999, but I was looking for a Supra at that time. I ended up buying a 1989 Supra, but I watched with envy when MKIV Supra prices went through the roof fter the first movie. In 1999 (pre-F&F), you could have bought a 1993 Supra Turbo for $12 to $16K. Good luck finding a 1993 turbo for that TODAY -- 7 years later.

This movie will have a similar effect on the S13 & S14 -- especially hooked up ones. But since our cars had pretty big production numbers, I doubt they will spike as hard or maintain as long as the Toyota...

I think this one will be better than the first two flicks. The F&F (Point Break rip-off) is still fun to watch though: Motec system exhaust, etc. 2F&2F was an unwatchable Miami Vice rip-off with lame product placement. John Singleton? WTF were they thinking!

The mkIV supra was rare the day it came out. So when you have a limited production car of that quality, the price can only go up. FnF had nothing to do with that.

i can see alot of wrecked cars and dead ricers thanks to this friggin movie, i wonder if they will be able to ruin grip and road raceing next.
well i guess ill wait and do what the thread poster said, wait for this movie to come out and sell my car with FandF tax to pay off my student loans.

Rob

PS- im kidding about selling the car, but i guess i can look at it this way, ill be an OG when all these little ricers try drifting, almost like a god to the local kids tho, a plus im not looking forward too, they are going to be flooding the twisty me and the crew rock all the time with no problems, now the cops are going to be all over the place. all the more reason for us to organize track events i guess

In 1998, Toyota dropped the price of the Supra Turbo to $38K (from ~$50K) in hopes of getting the car to sell. This move destroyed the resale market of older cars and pissed off many owners. Worse, the price drop failed in attracting more customers. Toyota sold less than 10,000 units and stopped importing the Supra.

Naturally, the MKIV Supra had a lot going for it, but F&F put it back on the map as a must-have 'tuner' car. If Toyota had released a $38K 'limited edition' MKIV Supra Turbo in 2001 (post F&F), it would have sold like hot cakes.

Do some research on a Supraforums or whatever. You'll see lots of post about the F&F effect on MKIV prices.

"2JZ, no shit."

I'm selling my SR S13 as soon as the buzz starts for this movie. I'll let you know how it works out.

woohoo the price of my s14 will go up! Though I am still keeping it... hopefully not too many socal peeps will get it after the movie debuts. I like to be the only one with it here. I have never seen another s14 kouki in the streets before...(only saw them in car meets here in socal). I have seen zenki's though.

thats it I'm selling the 240, and buying a diesel vw. I'm just going to give up on having a cheap & fun car. First high gas prices start to ruin the fun, now everytime I stop at a light I'm going to have some teenage punk pull up next to me and dare me into a drift race (whatever that is). :duh:

"its called drifting"...... "what you mean drifting?"
i still need a dictoinary!!!!!!

whats with the accent? looks like brokeback mountain meets f&f

The Fast and the Brokeback?

Hah hah.. I was thinking the same thing.. It'll only be a matter of time though before f&f 4 comes out (Too fast too dirty/too rainy/too snowy) where the main feature will be rally racing and AWD's will get hit just like the FWD/RWD crowd. It'll glorify the "magic" behind having AWD and making the scenes to where AWD can "Magically" make any driver into a rally racing champ:P

If the prices on 240sx in general will go up, prices on hondas will drop, I suppose honda can be good, after taking the rice off of it, adding turbo, it will get better grip off the line, not handle better though, but maybe some of you 240 guys can sell your 240 for 6k, or so you suppose, if thats the case, then get a dirt cheap honda, turbo it/performance upgrades, they are pretty good cars, its just the ricers give them bad name, not that I like them, just my .2c
