The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift


Since we watched THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS, I suppose it was inevitable that sooner or later we’d watch the third movie in the series, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT.

There’s not a lot of plot to this one. Lucas Black and Bow Wow play American teenagers in Japan who get involved in the high-speed street racing scene in Tokyo, where the drivers’ favorite maneuver is to turn their wheels so that their cars slide sideways, the Tokyo Drift of the title. That’s pretty much it as far as the story goes. Most of the movie consists of racing scenes and hot Japanese girls in skimpy outfits. If that’s enough to satisfy you, I can recommend TOKYO DRIFT. I don’t mind admitting, though, that I dozed off a couple of times during this one.

By the way, for the most part this movie seems to be totally unrelated to the first two in the series except for the street racing subject matter, but it actually does connect up with the others very late in the film, although in a pretty arbitrary manner.

The plot was used in THE KARATE KID, but with cars instead of martial arts. The girls were a nice element, though.

I don't like the Fast and Furious series, I consider it too simple in my opinion. I like nice cars as every guy (and chicks too of course) but the plot of all them is not so good. Buy Viagra Viagra
