Everyone seemed to enjoy it, I can't wait till it is released to the masses.

Whisked away to off topic, this thread is

sorry sorry sorry

[1Via!]

I can wait.

Looks lame to me, regardless of the impact it will have on the "community."

Drifting.com is equally lame.

[blaze1]

I want to get oppionions form people who wont gain anything finicialy from the movie. IE, no pros, no team owners, no actors, no companies.

[ManoNegra]

99% of us are going to see regardless of whether we like it or hate if not only for the chance to be able to talk smack about it. Like I've said before, I personally can't wait since it'll be craptastic!

[S13SilviaGirl]

^^^I can wait to rent it...about all I would pay is $3 to see it.
the only reason for me to see it is for the friends that are going to be in it as extras or stunt doubles...bout it.

Lol, with all the FF3 threads, it almost deserves it's own forum........
maybe in pinkie-land....

Pink all who start new FF3 threads...:rant2:

[blaze1]

It should be on the internet sometime this week, mind as well bootleg it.

[TheSquidd]

If only I was a moderator. There'd be a lot of locked threads and pinked noobs right now wishing they shut the hell up about this damn movie and kept it to one thread.

[blackflag_Rms13]

I can wait... for a DVD Screener to get uploaded to a torrent that is...

[supportTHEezln]

I would feel like an idiot if I took the time to download it unless someone was paying me a significant sum to do so. Paying money to see any of the F&F movie really puzzles me.

It's pure entertainment. Laugh out loud comedy stuff. Fun to yell at the screen and watch ricers in the parking lot drive hard. I got 9 bucks for that.

[GabeS14]

:rolleyes: Just like any action movie, Cop movie, firefighter, Spy movie, War movie,
of course it will be commercialized and exagerated.......
but its fucking hollywood, you all should be glad to see movies coming out that put on have the theme of something we all are so passionate about, no matter how they make it!
Obviously they wont show the banged up, bodykit hanging, zip tied, dirty cars or the hrs in the sun at some track 40000 miles away from home and dirty stinky drifters working on their cars at home, because thats not glamurous!
I know personally I have been asking myself for the last 5 years, how long it would take before they realized how awesome the sport is and made a movie about it!
So at least for that im'e glad!
and Im'e happy this time the drifting will be mostly real and not some computer animated cars sliding on computerized backgrounds...

[Dr.PepperIsGood]

Anyone catch the news this morning? An old man I work with knows I love cars and knows of drifting(i tried to explain to him a while back), told me that this morning "drifting" was all over the news and something about that its the "new hot thing" and showed clips of D1. Is this true?

[Yuri]

I heard it was on CBS news.
I can hear mothers all over the country telling their kids not to drift now.

"Now Johnny, dont be out all night trying any of that 'drifting' stuff I saw on the news today, it's very dangerous you know"

[HyperTek]

haha you know whats funny, we may hate the movies, but how many of you guys seriously can recognize cut scenes or dialog from the first 2 movies?? haha..

kinda sad imo.

Ive accepted that the movie is already coming out, we just gotta accept it. I did. Ill prolly go see it becuase it is entertainment.

[Neejay]

I'm going to see it. I see movies for what they are: entertainment. I'm not going to see it as a documentary on drifting/driving.

[91CRXsiR]

i know one of the hot bitches in the opening scene or preview.. ill rent it to watch that

[S13SilviaGirl]

i know one of the hot bitches

wow, I bet you score all day using lines like this....:eek3:

[exitspeed]

I'm going to take my car and bring it to one of the big theatres by me and put a "for sale" sign on it. First $10,000 takes it...I can even tell them it's been in a real street drifting accident!

[1 88 U]

I watched the making of ff3 on hbo and the japanese character that takes a likeing to the protagonist and teaches him how to drift, it seems like hes trying to get in his pants.

white guy- "So you're just gonna let me borrow your car for a race?"

japanese guy- "possibly loosing a car is worth seeing what a man is really made of"

ugh I'm so sick of hearing this. Everyone that says this is no better than the moron they THINK they are selling their car to.

:cool:

I saw about 90% of the CBS piece on drifting. I thought it was going to be all hype and handwringing about how dangerous and outlaw it is. It actually pretty responsible reporting. Even though they did have a few frames from FF3, they also included quite a bit of real track drifting and some sound bites of interviews with professional drifters. They also showed drifters in their driving suits together with a uniformed LAPD guy talking to high school kids about "taking it to the track " and keeping it off the street. However, nobody addressed the cost of "taking it to the track." They closed it by saying they were reporting from the "Long Beach Speedway." Was there a drift event held when the course was set up for the Long Beach GP?

Ha, it's a joke. My cars worth no more then $1500. I wouldn't sell my car anyway. :wiggle: :Ownedd:

." They closed it by saying they were reporting from the "Long Beach Speedway." Was there a drift event held when the course was set up for the Long Beach GP?

Yea there was Formula D. "in the streets on Longbeach"
wasn't that great, couldnt see barely half of the track from either of the seating areas.

[Yuri]

I almost forgot, I don't know if anyone here caught it, but a couple weeks ago there was a short expose on drifting on CNN. They showed some footage from FD-Atlanta, but seemed to be reading off the typical script: "this exciting and sometimes risky sport, coming from outlaw racers in the mountains of japan, is now spreading fast as an exciting new sport among young american men.."
It's good to see it's being portrayed in a positive light, rather than news crews portraying it as a death sport, as a certain hawaii based station did several years ago (at a parking lot track day no less).

HBO had a 15 minute behind the sceen's of FF3...

it seems there is alot of live action... they didnt show much CGI...

looks like its in a different class then 2F2F of film...

"After I read the original script, they called me up and asked, 'What do you think?'" says Lin.

"And I said, 'I think it's offensive and dated, and I don't have any intention of doing it.' But Stacey [Snider], the head of the studio, said, 'Just tell us what you'd do differently.' So I said, 'To begin with, I'd get rid of all the gongs and temples and Buddhas and the visual gags about how the white guy is a foot taller than all the Asians.' And she said, 'OK, we'll make the kind of movie you want.' I was like, 'Uh, are you sure?'


But audience members may quickly recognize that the real genre referenced by the film is the equally iconic but not quite as American canon of kung fu cinema. After all, the film is about a cocky young gun who tries to defeat a seasoned master, fails in humiliating fashion and then goes into training under the eye of an eccentric mentor to learn the special technique necessary to take on his nemesis -- all leading up to a final duel, with the now-wiser hero given extra motivation by his desire to avenge a devastating murder. Sure, it's got wheels on, but otherwise "Tokyo Drift" comes out of the same gene pool as "Drunken Master," "The One-Armed Swordsman" and "Shaolin Temple."

The film hits theaters just this week, but early reviews from leak sites like Ain't It Cool News have called it "the sleeper of the summer," and referred to the race sequences -- "the only scenes that matter" -- as "friggin' Frankenheimer-worthy. ... People were so excited that they were drifting in the parking lot afterwards."

It's gonna be a hot movie. For the driving if nothing else.

[godlypolak]

f**k they were drifting in the parking lot afterwards huh? ill be there with my pop's boxter s and will hopefully have my cop syren and lights in by that time. its gonna be fun f-in with the retarded people tryin to do it in a FWD. but, of course ill see it and it will be lots of stupid fun entertainment.

that's great :)

[Yuri]

Just imagine if this had stayed in the film...:keke:
But while the joys of torque are still definitely a factor in this latest chapter, they're far from the heart of the game. "In the original script for this film, Sean, the movie's hero, wins the big race by kicking in a hidden nitrous tank and blowing past the bad guy," says Lin. "Anyone who knows anything about drifting would have just laughed his ass off at that. It just makes no sense: You can't win that way. Drifting is not about power."
