    Pros: Nice cars, nice races, nice girls ^^

    Cons: Avarage main characters, below avarage storyline

    There arent much sequels that can live up to their predecessor's name, but I was really impressed with 2 Fast 2 Furious, and had really high hopes for the third one. The first "The Fast and the Furious" amazed me with the fabulous cars ...and the world of street racing, while the second impressed with even BETTER cars and a round-trip race instead of a just a quarter-mile drag. So I was really curious how they would improve in this one, and HELL YEAH! they improved! The scene is Tokyo city, this is where the cars and parts and tune-ups actually come from, so you wouldn't find anything better in the world. And this sequel introduce a whole new type of racing - DRAG! Anyone familiar with the NFS: Underground should know about this type of racing, if you don't know wat it is, well ... i dun really know how to explain really, juz watch the film, basically they race in a multi-storey car park ok? The storyline is basically similar to the previous two, and the cars are still nice, the races are UNREAL but I think they made serious mistakes in the casting: the appearances are worse than the second one, and the main character is from TEXAS for GOD's SAKE!!! A texas lone star in the Tokyo street racing crowd?!? Give me a break!! The background casting is alrite though, but the main chacs, apart from Han and Bow Wow, was absolutely terrible. Apart from that, I think that this film is one that a tune-up addict and any fan of NFS would enjoy. Read more Less

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 16, 2006 | 2 out of 3 found this The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) review helpful

    Pros: Graphics, sounds, casting, cars

    Cons: Violence

    Vin Diesel has gotten good at creating action movies and then abandoning sequels as producers attempt to start a franchise. He jumped ship before the 2003 sequel to his The Fast and the Furious started filming and many expected the sequel to be a cut... above “direct to video” movies. However, apparently neither the stupid 2 Fast 2 Furious title or Paul Walker’s acting could kill the growing franchise because the fast cars, hot women, and pumping music are back for a third go round, this time titled The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The third chapter leaves America, and with it the cast of the first two films, using the franchise name to tell the story of a new racer. That new racer is Sean (Lucas Black of Friday Night Lights fame) who gets into a race against a jock at high school and winds up in a bunch of trouble. His parents aren’t as well connected as his opponents, meaning he’ll be the one to face the racing and property destruction charges left from the film’s opening high-octane race through a house -- construction site. Instead of heading to juvie or jail, Sean’s mother ships him off to Tokyo, Japan to live with his military father. A structured combination military and Japanese lifestyle isn’t about to stop Sean from racing however, and he quickly finds himself making the right and wrong kind of friends, diving headfirst into the underground world of racing, the yakuza, and the drift – a Japanese form of racing that accommodates the curves of parking garages and winding roads. Anyone who heads into Tokyo Drift expecting world-class acting and drama is sadly mistaken. This movie is about living fast (and furious one would presume). It offers exactly what you’d expect: Fast races? Check – the adrenaline will be flowing through its tightly filmed and breathtaking race stunts. I keep the complaint I have about most combat scenes these days – the camera runs too tight to get a big picture idea of what’s going on, but most of the time that works to this movie’s advantage and is well used. Hot women? Check – if Asian women turn you on this is especially the movie for you, as they trope around in tight, tiny skirts and make out with each other. Female lead Nathalie Kelley joins the list of women I’d most like to see gracing the cover of Maxim soon. Loud music? Check – although for my tastes, the music could have been louder, especially during racing scenes. The sound editor chose to push the sounds of the vehicles (engines roaring, tires squealing, etc) over the music. Not a bad choice, but I think pushing the music up could have added even more to the movies incredible stunt sequences. Tokyo Drift does suffer some minor flaws - resorting to stereotypical Yakuza connections in a Japanese set film, and some weak CGI effects (crowds, not racing) but with this type of movie who really cares? This is true summer popcorn at its best. Wave goodbye to Paul Walker and Tyrese, say hello to Lucas Black and Bow Wow and fasten your safety belt for the hottest new racing moves to ever hit the screen… until Fast and the Furious 4 comes out at least.

    Pros: miok

    Cons: asde

    June 15, 2006 - Despite being set largely in Japan, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift represents everything that much of the world despises about America; its pop culture and morality. The film, like its two predecessors, embraces materialism, lo...ose values and living for today. For the young characters of Tokyo Drift, love and sex mean the same thing, car theft is a viable occupation, illegal street racing is worth dying for and hanging out all night in parking garages with your friends is considered time well spent. And it's precisely because Tokyo Drift is so unapologetic about (and enthralled by) its own superficiality that audiences who like their trash extra sleazy should enjoy the hell out of this movie. The third entry in Universal's franchise features a new protagonist, perpetual screw-up and racing enthusiast Sean Boswell (Lucas Black, who looks like he should be in grad school by now rather than high school). After running afoul of the law yet again, good ol' boy Sean – think Bo Duke sans Luke – is sent by his trailer park trash mom (Lynda Boyd) to live with his career military officer dad (Brian Goodman) stationed in Tokyo. Sent to a local school and forced to wear a uniform, Sean befriends other young outsiders, including a wheeler dealer classmate nicknamed Twinkie (Bow Wow). He also falls for the class babe, Neela (newcomer Nathalie Kelley). The neon allure of Tokyo's decadent nightlife proves irresistible to Sean and he's soon disobeying his dad's orders by not coming home after school. Quicker than you can say "speed racer," Twinkie has introduced Sean to Tokyo's underground racing scene. Sean immediately locks horns with DK (Brian Tee), a gangsta wannabe whose fearsome uncle is a Yakuza boss (Sonny Chiba). DK's girlfriend also just so happens to be Neela, which only adds to the bad blood between hero and villain. Read more Less

    Pros: soundtrack, excellent drifting

    Cons: few cars

    I thought that 2 fast 2 furious was going to be the best car-racing movie to be done in this series, but i was wrong ... Lucas Black stars in this film as an american car racer, but this time, compared to Vin Diesel & Paul Walker, the racing scenario... has changed !! ... Now he is street-racing in Tokyo, against the Japanese Yakuza, with japanese cars and has to learn a new technique, Drifting !!! much suitable for japanese streets ... the soundtrack is also terrific, done by japanese bands and i never thought they are that good !! Wow, Japanese girls are really hot chicks ;-) ... Enjoy the movie & keep your engines running ....vrrrooooommm Read more Less
