Burnouts, Smoke, Charred Tyres, Twisted Metal...

...are essential in a adrenaline pumped show like Fast and Furious : Tokyo Drift...

yes this is another biased review featured on my blog! and as usual, spoilers are present...viewer discretion is advised..

i didnt have a good feeling for this show at the start i must admit, because 2F2F was total crap... the absence of Vin Diesel made that show a complete waste of time... its like those types of films classified under "the Other" (where a sequel exists because and only because of its predecessor)

2F2F was fake, in terms of the physics...

so is TD (Tokyo Drift), however, the way this show was written and filmed, and despite the poor CGI, it really is very enjoyable to watch!!

cars and cars that make you go "whoa!" (except a few of those Nissan 350Zs that were moddded till they look like Hotwheel and Tamiya Toy Cars)

Drift manuevers that defy reality and bend the laws of physics.

maybe im too cynical at watching these kinda movies, but yeah...it was too fake to be convincing.

the female cast was okay... the gilrs dont tickle me in any particular way... but i've gotta say the male cast was awesome.. they found just the right looking people wth just the right attitude for those kinda roles.

i dont know their names :p

what sucked most during my excursion to the cinema was after the grand race at the end, as usual our protagonist emerges victorious over the "bad guys", i thought that was the climax, so i left my seat 5 minutes before the show actually ended to let go of the 1/2 gallon of coke ive been storing in my bladder.

so off the the mens room i went..

when i came back the show was over and my friends were like "Vin Diesel made an appearance".

right then and there, it was one of the moments where i wished i had a time machine, turn back time and held my piss in for that last few minutes because for the whole friggin show, i was LOOKING FOR VIN DIESEL!!!!!

and i MISSED IT!!! GAHHHH!!!!!!!

*someone drift a car on my body plz*


so just a quick survey of sorts...if you have watched the movie already, which is your favourite featured car?

ive spotted Fair Ladys (350Z), RX8s, Skylines, Mitsubishi Lancer, Lotus Elise (in the garage), Nissan Silvia, Dodge Viper (woot my personality car)....etc...cant remember nor can i give you the specific model name :P not that much of a car freak but enough to thoroughly enjoy the show.

theres no story line in this show, no romance (just a little), no suspence...

its an all-out Petrol Draining, Nitrous Puffing, Smoke Churning, Rubber Burning, Tyre Screeching show. i can almost smell the fumes in the cinema while watching this show :P

no back-fires tho...kinda let down on that...

i LOVE HAN~
wow, he's the most adorable fella in the show, altho he's got a really broad face. Sean (the lousy american with that dumb accent) was too lame for my liking, n the.. (oh no, wat's his name again?) oh, DK, god, his face is so flat, he could look at Sean at such close distance n not touch his face! i would've held my breath if anyone were to look at me dat closely.

oh oh, n Jacke told me dat the REAL DK was in the show too! remember the 2 fishermen? heehe, the fella with the most lines (2?) was the real DK (ask Jacke for his name) n the quieter fisherman was the racer king of Japan. i was wonderin y they put 2 old uncles in the show, fishing at the dock???

i enjoyed the show too, love the part where they drifted up the spiral driveway to the rooftop carpark. i know it's fake, but it's damn cool if it was possible.. :P

haha i like Han too~ even Sean, but at the moment he spoke... NIAHHHH..

too Hamerican... ;p

the real DK was Keiichi Tsuchiya, lol yeha i figured something like that but i didnt know it was him until my friend told me..

but the best part is still when Vin Diesel made a surprise appearance.

wished they made more senseless but really enjoyable shows like this
