Dont forget what happened after the first 2 movies. Everyone wanted under car neons and LED's in the washers. Now everyone is going to drift or attempt to drift with out having the adaquet knowledge. Wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more ricers written off due to this or ACA or TT does a storey on these hoons.

2nd one had Corvette/Mustang/Viper/etc., and old-skool Challenger/Camaro, they make it worth watching. And where the first movie featured a Supra and Honda Civics, surely we all think a LOT more of an Evo and Eclipse Spyder? I'm serious - the gold Evo with Eva Mendes over a pinky/orange Supra with Jordana Brewster ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Ok so we have Lucas Black playing "Shaun Boswell", Zachery Ty Brian playing "Clay", and I'm lead to believe Caroline de Souza Correa is playing "Isabella". Ok, so instead of going to jail this Shaun guy goes to Tokyo and gets mixed up in the underground world of drift racing. So he's clearly of high moral stature.

I think I'll see it - and hopefully enjoy the effects and action sequences; thus it may well be void of an actual story, here's hoping we atleast enjoy the visual feast.

They should ban the movie before it comes here and kills alot of inocent people from the di*khead wannabe drifting drivers that watch this movie.
BAN THE MOVIE BEFORE IT COMES TO AUSTRAILA!!

Banning the movie is a bit harsh ...
Remember its only entertanment such as all movies like gone in 60 sec
Texas chainsaw and even mad max but I think even though I saw all these movies at least once I won't be boosting cars cutting people up with chainsaws or running peolpe down in my xa .

Even though you may have some merit in you concerns I think banning it would be a bit on the redneck side .
Ps I still will like to see the movie and maybe buy a skyline lol

Actually not true! In fact I'd say if ya wanna get all four wheels sliding (the only true form of drift), being driven by the fronts is better than the rears. Late 1980's corolla's are a good example, heavy bargearse things, but push em hard enough in a tight turn and they'll break traction on all four wheels (ИИИИty cheesecutter tyres and a complete lack of mechanical sympathy also help in that respect). Also, it's cheating really, but on dirt anything is possible! :evil3:

Might take the focus off the whole P-platers in V8's thing for a while though ey? This movie could be useful for something yet!

Well if watching a movie about illegal racing and the consequences it incurs causes people to be stupid on the street and expect to get away with it, then I guess the next time I watch a war film I'll go find myself a suitable weapon and start ИИИИing everyone who hasn't shaved.

your an idiot. Lets ban anything that we dont like ay?


Yeah I realy did like the original as it had some good $$$ spent on the movie. The 2nd one I wasnt too thrilled by since 1/3 were computer graphics in the racing (meh). But still i did go see it and its in with my DVD's.

Ill go see this anyway since im one for Imports and as you peeps call it rice. Plus I can see what ill be installing later that week bwahahha


Oh and I think it sucks banannas that Vin Diesel isnt in this! I mean i put up with the 2nd one because at least ONE major original charicter cept for the FBI guy was in it, but this? Meh Lets hope there are hot chicks at least :party3:
