The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

Just watched The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift at 12am in the morning.



A rather nice show with a simple storyline. Plot is definitely not needed here as the main attractions are the scantily-clad babes and the cars and the show delivers it well. Throughout the show, the audience, especially the male audience, is treated to a parade of hot babes and fancy cars, not to mention the high-pace scenes of cars racing through different terrain. It is so damn cool to see cars drifting everywhere, inside multi-storey carparks, on treacherous mountain road, through all sort of junctions and the best of all, through a crowd of people. Wow. Plus the high-pace music in the background, the whole feeling is damn 爽.

However, as the show ends, i have a feeling that i have just watched Jay Chou's Initial D, Hollywood-style. There are many similarities but at the end of the day, it don't really matter. By the end of both movies, you are simply too amazed, too fascinated by drifting that what really matters to you is seeing cars drifting. As of now, what i can remember from Initial D is seeing Takumi(Jay Chou's character in Initial D) drift on the mountain road. And for Tokyo Drift, the part where one of the character drift through a multi-storey carpark and how three cars drift through a crowd of people is what i remember.

Both show rocks and they truely celebrate one skill that the Japs racers are good at, Drifting.
