well as much as everyone predicted it to suck i think it was one of the best in the series. the beginning was a bit lame with all the high school jocks but sean(Lucas Black) had some good disses on the beefcake. his monte carlo totally owned that viper when he went off roading in the construction . i wish they would of added subtitles to what the teacher was saying to sean when he came to class the first day. and WOW was that some unique VW twinkie was driving with the hulk theme . i wonder if the japanese underground of drifting really has that many girls involved cause there was a damn lot of them in that garage. anyways at least we werent plagued with cars that have 16 gears and they had the techniques of drifting down. i liked the cameo apearance of Keiichi Tsuchiya as the fisherman who was mimicing sean about him learning how to drift in his evo(why they used another evo i dunno). the chase scene between sean, dk and han was spectacular as they weaved through traffic in downtown tokyo and how the crowd split PERFECTLY to form an idealistic left hand turn. now this is my only complain about the movie... WHY DID THEY PUT A SR20DET MOTOR IN A MUSTANG?!?!? not only that, they gave the pony a 4" exhaust.... yeah, deff. screwed up there F&F crew(i did like the volk wheels tho). but the touge scene between sean and dk was good as they brushed the edges of the mountain. of course the bad guy looses and sean stays in tokyo and becomes the new "drift king". now whats really got me on edge is the cameo in the end from vin diesel as dominic in his 70's roadrunner and wondering IS THERE GONNA BE A F&F 4?!?? all in all i gave the movie a thumbs up id go see it again for the fact the theater was so packed and i was forced to sit up front with my girlfriend and didnt get a good view. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS!

 

My only gripe about the film isn't the film itself, but the psychological factor it plays on kids after watching it. They all don't realize it's just a movie too. For example, I had a Scion meet at the mall for the movie, afterwards these idiots drive up to us and start to show off trying to drift. They coulda seriously injured someone doing it in a lot.

Then when security comes by, they scram while driving 70 mph on a 25 mph zone in the mall. On top of that they don't realize the 5-0 are waiting by the entrance of the mall to catch them. On my way home there had to be 15 pull overs w/ about 30 or so cops all over the place.

 

Well yah, I saw it too today, but mostly cause I haven't seen Xmen either and I am sure not going to pay $10 for a single movie. The storyline was terrible as expected. It was really stupid after Han died...eh whatever. I didn't go in there for the storyline. But yah, the chase scene through the traffic was pretty cool. And vin diesel in the end had most of the ppl in the audience clapping. Now to go see Nacho Libre cause I'm a movie *****.

 

It was an RB26DET. Sorry, had to point it out. I thought the movie wasn't too bad. It was a lot better than the second one. I'm just waiting for the law suits from the authors of initial D, unless there were in on the whole thing. Sorry, I dont follow it as hardcore as some people. And was it a roadrunner or a charger again in the end? Another funny thing involving hte 5-0 and parking lots, there was this beat old toyota truck leaving and he turned a little quick and peeled some tire and the cop sitting in the parking lot plain as day followed him out. I wonder what that ticket looks like. Overall, the movie wasn't that bad and my $8.50 wasn't a total waste.

 

Damn! You nailed the Initial D thing in the head. I was bout to say that too. The movie jacked a lot of scenes right out of Initial D. I'm surprised Jay Chou or Edison didn't make an appearance. Or at least provided the sdtk, though Edison is an awful singer.

 

i honestly have no idea what motor it was. the official F&F site says an RB26DET but i thought it was an SR20DET cause thats the motor that comes with S15s. also it was a roadrunner as stated on wikipedia but in the first F&F dominic drove a charger hmmm...

 

I didn't expect to be going to see it at all, because I hated the first one so much that I didn't bother watching the second one (not even when it was on TNT earlier this week). But I was surprised. The way it was shot and the fx made up for the horrible storyline.

Plus, I will never argue with anything featuring Sung Kang, Lucas Black AND Sonny Chiba.

 

it had no point and should not have been called "Fast And Furious" jus toyko drift or something... as for the drift scenes it was great but the rest was so so...

 

Its not that big of a deal but, yes the Silvia's came from the factory with the SR20DET. But that car was clearly not stock and Han had the money for a swap. LOL. The funny thing about that is in the first race, if my ears heard correctly, the car didn't sound like it was running the RB but had a more SR sound to it. I'm not gonna pay $8 to see it again to find out. But there are tons of real minor things that I picked up on, just like in the first one. lol

 

considering the first two movies i thought it was very well done. I was surprised to see the acting was not bad.. and like someone said earlier Sung Kang did a very good job with his part. All in all i gave it a thumbs up and will def own the dvd.

As far as the pickup goes, im glad to see they went after him. That means the cops are not discriminating against only "ricers" like it seems they always do. They have to pull everyone who shows exhibition of speed and im glad they are doing that

 

PS... did anyone notice how many bb's are in the movie, i counted 20 myself, including the 2 in one of the race scenes with the full audio setups in the back

 

who cares if it sucked, or was oscar material, it is a movie about cars.....
id pay to go see cars, and the cars only.

 

I love cars :D I pay to see the cars too....and only the cars, the girls dont intrest me. Thats also why I watched FF1&2. Some of those bB's werent bB's they were xB's....and they were owned by people that frequent clubxb. I wish I had been here earlier, I would have LOVED to have my car in there oh well.

 

yeah, none of the FF movies were worth anything other then being a car show......if your looking for acting they have better acting in a jenna jameson movie.

 

Just got backf romt he FF3 meet in Easton, Pa. The movie i would say kind of rocked. I mean some things like why would they put that in, the love story could have been left out but ahh cars were amazing. Paul walker should have stared but its all godo with Vin diesel coming back in. better acting in a jenna jameson video hahahahah

 

any dark color xb that showed up in the movie including the one w/ the wall of speakers and tv's in the back were owned by the movie studio. only one i was able to spot thats private owned was a white one w/ orange wheels.

 

I thought the movie was decent, the cars and racing was great. Although people thought the movie was going to suck b/c bow wow was in there, his role wasnt big enough to ruin anything and he did a respectable job for the character he was portaying. Overall, i'd recommend to go see it for the racing scenes.

Man, i didnt see anything around our theater parking lots, no crazy driving or a ton of cops..sigh, and i was expecting some, haha, maybe i just went too early..

...I haven't seen it yet, nor do I plan to with my own money, but I hear of rumors that the REAL Drift King -- Keiichi Tsuchiya is somewhere in the movie too.

Fast and the Furious 3 -- Initial Diesel

 

RB26DETT to be exact. It was alright but damnnnnnnnnn those japanese chicks were cute. The drifting was pretty retarded and the main character was kind of goofy. Surprisingly, lil bow wow wasn't so bad except for the part where he pretends to know what hes talking about with a forged pistons and sh*t like that. All in all it was a pretty good movie....because of the girls.

 

if you guys wanna check out the exact specs for the mustang in that movie go to www.ign.com and click on movies. The site has a break down of what's under each car's hood, etc. BTW: Did anyone notice the second chick who counted down for the race was Asian model Kaila Yu?
