DVD: Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift

Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, or just to put it easier Fast and the Furious 3. The Fast and the Furious trilogy was made in the beginning of 2001 with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. I would say that this film really pushed up the popularity of street racing. With the popularity came those fellow who decided to fight against it and since most people really have to blame at least one thing with a death, many choose Fast and the Furious to be connected with many Car crashes.

from all that I thought that the first one was 'ok' and the second one 2 Fast 2 Furious I really didn't care for.

My first opinion when I sat down to watch this one I started to wonder "since when did that kid 'Buddy' from Married With Children start to act in movies, and have a southern accent." Overall the movie seemed to be good, I liked some of the actors, could care real less about Bow Wows character 'Twinkie' but besides that everyone else did a good job.

The Story aspect of it all was fine, I really like Drifting that that drag much like the first two one. I think Drifting is a really unique sport, I know we have a some what large gathering in America but Japan is where the great Drifting is. Though the story did seem much like the old story from the first Fast and Furious just now only with brand new characters and instead of Drag its drifting, I thought the drift brought a great feel to the film.

The Drifting scenes is what I think are the main selling point in the film. There are some amazing shots in this film that just look great with the amazing looking cars to the cars turning sideways and smoking coming out of the back tires. The film greatly portrays the Drifting scene very good.

If you like the first one or the second film you will most likely want to see this one, Or if you just go and have a good time I think you would enjoy this one also.

The DVD Features of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, are great it as documentaries from when they where making it and also they showed from the beginning all the actors start to have some Drifting lessons which was cool to watch. The Deleted scenes where ok I liked how they all had Directors commentary, because most DVD don't have that commentary for the Deleted Scenes. They also show the man who really started the sport of Drifting Keiichi 'The Drift King' Tsuchiya and how he helped in the film on some of the scenes.

The DVD aspect was great its what you always would want in a DVD bonus Features section.

If you like the first one or the second film you will most likely want to put this one in our DVD Library. Or if you like cars, action this will most be a watch for you. That's a very bad thing because this really fits a certain group of people. My advice is that maybe this could be a Rent and if you liked it then you could Buy.
