Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Trailer

Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift TrailerThe Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift trailer has hit the web... and if you've seen the trailer for either of the first two Fast and the Furious films, then you've seen this one already to. The entire time I watched the trailer (and ever since I heard this movie was going into production) I kept asking myself in my head "WHY ARE THEY MAKING THIS MOVIE???"

So yeah, this looks like all the other ones so far... just less original and without Paul Walker. The only thing new is "OH look!!! The cars are DRIFTING!!! We can build a whole movie around that!!!" No you can't.

In case you couldn't tell, I have absolutely ZERO interest in another Fast and the Furious movie... and this trailer has done nothing to change that. As a matter of fact, it's only enforced it.

If you want to see the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Trailer you can just go here.

Again, this also played before V for Vendetta, and I gotta tell you, you'd think the audience was watching Animal House from the way they were laughing at how shit it looks. Yeah, Vin Diesel isn't gonna win an Oscar soon, but I liked the first one, and I want to know what happened to THOSE characters, not these new people. I hate when they do sequels that aren't REALLY sequels because they don't have jack to do with the orginal except the name of the movie. Boo hiss!

Yeah saw this before V also. Talk about a total crap ass of a trailer. I mean i'm not a fan of Fast and the Furious 1 or 2. But this one looks like a Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson love-affair gone awry! I mean, shouldnt this kind of dreck be saved for direct to video releases only?

BTW John, I love the fact that you type in the exact same manner that you speak. I can literally hear you ranting like that in some future audio edition.

John, please do a quick discussion on the audio edition about this problem: sequels that aren't really sequels. I beg of you. I want to hear your thoughts on this. Am I totally off here or what?

I'm a fan of both "Fast and the Furious" movies. But this movie just threw me out the window. The entire plot of the movie can be easily predicted correctly just by watching the trailer. No surprises at all.

I was hoping they'd have Paul Walker and Vin Diesel some how team up and continue where they had left off. I honestly thought that's what the plan was until I saw this pathetic trailer. I liked absolutely nothing in this trailer.

Even the cars are the same. I mean how long ago did the other movies release? Show some new models. Even the location sucks, Tokyo? How about Europe and some exotic European sports cars, afterall, they are globally popular.

The only reason I would consider renting it, is because of the previous "Fast and the Furious" movies.

In conclusion, I hope this movie bombs so the "director/producer/anyone else who voted for this" involved understand that if you keep using and abusing the same idea for a movie without even tyring to introduce something a bit new, shit's gonna hit the fan and you will burn for it. Ahhh...I feel better now... :o)

I sort of liked the first film, with Vin, Michelle Rodreguiez, Ric Yune, Jordana Brewster, and Matt Shultze. I did not give one peep about Paul Walker, alhough he finally got some brains and, while he got some critical notices for 'Running Scared' he's better off, obviously, creating a franchise with dogs in Alaska...

I liked Paul more in the second movie, thought it was silly fun, and Eva Mendez was...alright. But John Singeton was a good modest director (he has made better films however) and Tyrese Gibson worked well in that film. Cole Hauser, as usual, makes a good villian. At least this movie had the sense to be closer to a silly action picture.

So now, here we are. No Paul, No Vin, No Tyrese, no anybody. Hell, not even Ja Rule. No Michelle, No Eva, Devon Aoki, no anybody.

Tokyo looks nice.

Give me the sequel to The Italian Job and gimmie the Euro cars.

Obviously Hollywood figured out what I was saying when The Fast and the Furious came out: Initial D was much better.

Seriously, drag racing = boring, drift racing on Tokyo mountains? Much more intruiging. The problem is that it's BEEN DONE and been done well in Initial D and they don't need to make it an American film.

Besides, they're probably going to screw up all the cars. But at least they figured out that drag racing doesn't take as much skill as downhill drifting on Mount Akina...or wherever this is set.

(As for the setting of Tokyo, Tokyo street racing is much more hip than any kind of European setting they could have picked. It's where are the real car nuts are gravitating right now).

i was really, really hoping this one was going to be called "3 FAST 3 FURIOUS" :P

FF1 was very watchable. It was fun, had cool cars, Vin Diesel, a bunch of hot chicks, etc. 2F2F was kinda crapo, but if you like racing and/or cars I guess it too was tolerable. But, this one looks like total shit.

I guess I will have to wait for FF4. "Fantastic Fast & Furious Four: Latverian Pedal". It seems cool. The story: 2 Americans get stuck in Latveria after a military coup, and they are forced to learn the ancient skill of Latverian pedal racing. (Where the cars are like "Flintstones" cars with no floor and you have to "pedal" to gain speed.) It turns out that the military commander responsible for the coup is also in charge of the races... and its none other that Victor Von Doom!!! But have no fear! One of the two stranded Americans is Johnny Storm and he finally contacts his fellow adventurers in the Fantastic Four. Once the full Fan 4 arrives they agree to race Doom in a Hanna-Barbera "Wacky Races" style race. Each driver gets their own wacky race car with its own abilities and powers. Needless to say, action and adventure ensue. It’s directed by Uwe Boll I hear, so it can’t fail. MAN I CANT WAIT!!!!!
