| Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift I just saw something about this movie on another site. The trailer looked pretty cool. Anyone else heard of it? Plan to see it when it comes out? __________________ "He who laughs last thinks slowest"  | |||

| No plan at all. My interest evaporated when I heard Vin wasn't going to be in part 2. I ended up seeing most of two, but it never kept my attention. I saw the lineup for 3 and it should go straight to video. __________________ Edited for content. "People are bastard covered bastards with bastard filling!"

| ahhh the lineup : Lucas Black, Bow Wow, Brian Tee, Sung Kang, Jason Tobin, Nathalie Kelly Just the words "Bow Wow" is enough to not make me go see it. The second movie was crap not only Vin Diesel is not in it but the story itself sucked....it has lost the whole racing culture theme that we had in the first movie. The drug dealer storyline was so low. Anyway....all this to say that I was really disappointed of the second that I'm tempted to check out the third movie. __________________ ""We all want to die like movie stars" you said, as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor.

| This was scheduled to go directly to video/DVD... But the studio figured they could slide it in during the summer movie season where its target audience (teens) could lap it up. It will probably barely just break the top five when it opens, but then literally disappear after that... And be on video in less than three months (normal is six after theatrical run). The whole street-racing scene is old news and this installment has absolutely NO star power in even the supporting roles, or one stand-out cameo like most real movies intended for the theater have, hence, why you can tell this was a last minute direct-to-video save. | |||

| This movie will bomb so bad at the box office. The film has straight to DVD written all over it. The first Fast and the Furious was the best one. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker made a good duo in the original. 2 Fast 2 Furious wasn't great but at least it had Paul Walker in it. Vin Diesel should have gotten over his pride and ego issues and starred in the second one. The third one has Bow Wow and the boy from Sling Blade. Tokyo Drift looks bad and will probably have a short time at theaters. | |||

The fact its even getting a theatrical release is because a little money is better than no money... Which actually is pretty stupid considering direct-to-DVD films actually make MORE than they ever would if they had been released in theaters in the first place. This is a pure case of greed on the part of the studio(s) and nothing more. | |||

| Elite Fan   | I haven't even seen the second one, which I have on DVD for some reason. I think my bro bought it. If there's no Vin, there's no me (going to see it). *** The cars looked great in the trailer, tho. I forgot to say that the theatrical trailer made the movie look like it was going to be better than the second one which I'm told is a piece of &#^#&(!.

| I'm actually anticipating this to do really well at the box office when it hits. If I had my way Vin would still be in it as well as Paul, but even w/o either of them in this third one it looks to be pretty good. I haven't read any reviews yet. | |||
