Fast and the Furious 3 - Tokyo Drift
Friday, January 20, 2006
For those of you who don’t know, there is a third film in the exciting Fast and the Furious franchise of films, coming out this summer, titled Tokyo Drift.
Drifting is pretty awesome, and if this movie can capture the excitement, it might just be worth checking out.
It is being directed by Justin Lin, who directed Better Luck Tomorrow, which I never saw, but is supposed to be good. But, he also directed the upcoming Annapolis, which looks super dumb. And according to IMDB, he is directing a remake of Oldboy (Oldboy, again for those who don’t know, is an amazing South Korean film by Chan-Wook Park, about revenge, and the fact that he is remaking this movie scares me, because I don’t think any american remake will do it justice).
Back to Tokyo Drift..it doesn’t have Vin Diesel, which is quite disappointing. There were rumors he would be in the third film, but I guess not. Not as disappointing is the abscence of Paul Walker. However, it does have Zachary Ty Bryan, the oldest brother dude from Home Improvement. Sweet!
So really, the only reason to see this movie is for the cars and cheesy entertainment. As long as it delivers on both, i’ll be happy.

when i was in la for new years, there were these signs up on the street lamps that had japanese writing on them… takako had said they had names of different cities on them and other misc japanese stuff that didn’t make much sense. later she found out from some of her other stewardess friends that they were still up there from earlier tfatf3 filming.
oh, and i once saw zachary ty bryan at the shell station near my mom’s house filling up his gs400. biatch.
