Dear AF ladies and gentlemen,

With very little time to spare before the shooting of the movide begins, we have been contacted by John Wiser of the Universal Picture Car Deperatment for "The Fast and the Furious 3" to aid them seek out more vehicles for the movie.

They are looking for <b>as many right-hand-drive vehicles as they can possibly find</b>. No matter the make/model or the condition, there will be a good chance that your RHD car will end up in the movie.

They are also looking for overall good-looking modified cars (preferably RHD but LHD also acceptable).

There is special demand for VIP type cars (dropped and modified Infiniti Q45, Toyota Chaser, etc.) and super-modified mini-vans. But again, we want to emphasize that you should absolutely contact us if you have a RHD vehicle of any type.

If selected, you will be compensated for use of the vehicle and they will not abuse the vehicle at any time.

<b>Please be sure to include the location of the vehicle</b>. Southern California is strongly preferred, but we will look at vehicles from anywhere between San Francisco to San Diego.

Don't tell me you think having a car featured in a F&F movie is something to be proud of?

..would still not even be able to point out that your car was in the movie even if they had a picture of it cause many who actually enjoy FNF are dumb.

think about how many chicks... :grinno:



Think of the years in prison for having sex with a minnor...... :nono:

Dear God what are they going to do this time!?!

We have a Yenko getting beat by a damn EVO, an Eclipse running with a Challenger, and making everybody believe a Charger can pop a wheelie.

What's next, a Scion XB with a cold air leaf blower kit beating a 2006 ZO6 and GT-40?

Think of the years in prison for having sex with a minnor...... :nono:

Your horrible :lol:

But seriously there's always hot bimbo's who are gullible enough to... ( that aren't underage ;) )

Actually, there IS some pretty cool stuff in this one.
I got to check out the cast of cars they have, and it is definately pretty nifty. In addition, they have some real car experts building some very cool cars.

Wanna give us some hints? C'mon Igor, prove us wrong! Haha..

If anyone from AF ends up being in this movie. I swear to god I will never speak to you again.

There are already a few people from AF that are involved in the production. Remember, it's a MOVIE, so yes, it might end up with some unrealistic stuff, but I am currently pretty confident that it will be quite a bit better than the previous two.

If it tops gone in 60 seconds, Ill be happy.

I think they should put the beat up charger from Dukes of Hazzard in the the Fast and the Furious movie randomly driving by and seeing dumb ol Jessica Simpson pop saying.. "hey!! Is Chicken of the Sea really chicken?" I bet that should get the crowd going.........




























NOT!!

Could they spare the expense and hire some plot and dialogue experts this time? :D

Shit, even 16 monkeys with typewriters is acceptable.

What country are you looking in? I'm in Australia. You can use my VS Commodore on the condition;

1. You're paying for petrol
2. you get me a SS kit for it
3. and nice wheels.

Send your car over to my house. I assure you, you will get the parts you want. :icon16:

Not possible! It won't have elenor nor celeste (Jaguar xj220)...

What's next, a Scion XB with a cold air leaf blower kit beating a 2006 ZO6 and GT-40?

LMAO! :lol:

When is F&F3 scheduled to hit theaters? This movie may actually be better then the 1st and 2nd, you never know... ;)

Hey igor, my friends cuzin has a R33 skyline LHD you think theyd be interested if i can talk him into it??

Hey igor, my friends cuzin has a R33 skyline LHD you think theyd be interested if i can talk him into it??

I'm going to guess yes, sense he said almost any RHD vehicle will make it.

I hope this one dies in production.


LET IT DIE!!!!!!

LIAR!!!








:p

I've got a Civic with an unpainted body kit, aluminum wing, stickers, 6" fart can, NOS bottle (just for looks), 10" tach, spinning hubcaps, etc. Interested? (J/K)

After thinking about this for a little bit, doesn't it seem to anybody like they're trying to steal these cars?

Think about it, make and model so they can prioritize it on the list. RHD b/c its JDM and will sell quicker
Address so they can put it in mapquest and get directions
photo's so they can look in the background to find the fastest escape route and to make sure they're getting close to the target
southern cali so they wont have to travel far...

I wouldn't send them anything.

You really shouldn't tease the people making this movie. Don't start describing their dream car and let em down so hard.

Well here's the story...

After being allowed to get away by his new undercover cop friend in the first movie, fast-driving criminal Dominic Torretto (Diesel) heads down to Mexico where he lives a life as a fugitive, always just 10 seconds ahead of the law. Eventually, however, Torretto makes his way to Tokyo, Japan, which is the world's current capitol of street racing, where he is recruited to help bail out a friend who is in trouble with a powerful group of Japanese gangsters.

I don't know what to say but this thing looks like a potential train wreck. It makes me sick to know that probably after this movie we won't think of "rice" the same again.

We may be introduced to several new flavors of rice.

We may be introduced to several new flavors of rice.

white rice, brown rice, parboiled rice, precooked rice, minute rice, medium-grain rice, and short-grain rice

So you know we're not talking about the food either.

Two of the sponsors of our club is working on there cars as we speek.

I think i heard something about shots taking place in Japan, but i dont know for sure.

i have a friend who would like to send his eg RHD but he needs the car to get to work

It's just a movie. Hell, that plotline posted ^^ is so old it may not even go that route...

The first movie sucked because the acting, cinematography, and editing was just awful. The second one was bad because the acting was so bad and nobody got killed (except for maybe that mustang driver who got ran over by the semi) taking pg-13 to a new level of lameness. These movies suck because there isn't enough violence and nudity. If there was then nobody would even care about all the rice...

i think both movies were bad i could name about 10 mistakes each for each of them. but i still keep watching them.
reasons-the fast and the furious
1. dom's sister
2. i secretly have some rice in me

2 fast 2 furious
1. eva mendes
2. yenko camaro
3. challenger
4. to laugh at the actors
5. to try to answer the question "why did paul walker let them do that to his skyline?"
6. did i mention eva mendes?

I know it's an old thread but I actually like these movies for entertainment and I found this:

The Fast and the Furious 3 Starts With a Car Audition
By: John Pearley Huffman

Date Posted 06-30-2005

When Universal Pictures launched The Fast and the Furious into the 2001 summer movie season, its expectations were modest. The film was modestly budgeted by studio standards and the biggest star involved was Vin Diesel and, back then, he wasn't that big. But street racing was getting a lot of press attention, the popularity of the modified import cars was obviously exploding, and there's always an audience for car chases. This was a movie designed to be profitable even with modest box office success. It wasn't supposed to be a blockbuster.

But The Fast and the Furious busted blocks anyhow. The film industry, and even Universal Studios itself, was flabbergasted by the $207 million in worldwide ticket sales the original film earned. And what does a studio do when its exploitation picture becomes a big hit? It exploits it again, and the 2003 sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, brought in another $236 million. Throw in fast and furious DVD sales and a third installment was inevitable.

That third Fast and Furious film (a title hasn't been decided on, but
Fast and Furious 3 or The Fast and the Furious 3 will work for now) is currently in preproduction with filming scheduled to begin this fall. A script has been written, and a director hired. The story this time follows "Shaun Boswell" from the U.S. street racing subculture over to the world of Japanese drifting. Neither Vin Diesel (who co-starred in the first film, but not the second) nor Paul Walker (who co-starred in both) will appear in the movie.

"For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing," Universal revealed in a press release announcing the new film's inevitability, "Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the 'Drift King,' with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death."

But before the first reel of film can be shot, director Justin Lin needs car. Lots of cars. Fast and furious cars. The 32-year-old director who earned his reputation with 2002's Sundance hit, Better Luck Tomorrow, began his search for the right machines at Irwindale Speedway east of Los Angeles this past June.

A Day in Irwindale
Dennis McCarthy, the vehicle coordinator for the new production quickly brought together tuner cars, production cars and modified cars from individuals from around Southern California for Lin to consider for roles in the movie.

"I called some people I knew," said McCarthy, "and in a few days they all showed up." The cars, about 30 in all, including many cars from the second film 2 Fast 2 Furious, were gathered in the parking lot alongside the track's main grandstand with 60 or so attending owners and hangers-on.

With the third film set in both Southern California and Japan, the production's automotive needs are eclectic. Mike Walsh, the owner of Premiere Studio Rentals, which provides vehicles to film and television productions, brought out both a clapped-out '71 Monte Carlo for scenes early in the film and a beautiful '70 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible that had made its film debut in 1994's Natural Born Killers. R.J. DeVera, who had a small part in the first
Fast and Furious, brought with him three different Nissan 350Zs — all looking particularly sweet sitting on wheels from DeVera's company, Ro_Ja. And Rhys Millen, who interrupted his drifting career to be the primary driver of the General Lee Dodge Charger for the big screen version of
The Dukes of Hazzard, brought out an 800-horsepower twin-turbocharged version of the current Pontiac GTO.

The car companies want in, too. Mitsubishi's starring role in 2 Fast 2 Furious was seen in the industry as marketing genius. This time Dodge, Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Volkswagen want in, and brought out examples of their lineups for Lin to look over.

The automotive star of the film, however, may wind up being a rather innocuous-looking '67 Ford Mustang fastback that was lined up next to Mitch Allread's radical '68 Toyota Corona. Rumors were flying among the participants there that the car was destined to wind up with the drivetrain from a Nissan Skyline GT-R — including its twin-turbocharged inline six — under its sheet metal as an important plot point in the film. But rumors fly when facts are few, and the filmmakers themselves are keeping quiet.

Getting the Drift
But the star of the show was the drifting exhibition.

Once McCarthy had walked Justin Lin around to see all the various cars in the parking lot (all of which was carefully recorded on video by Universal for use in publicity and on the DVD), the producers and director moved to the grandstands and the drifters moved onto the track.

Team Toyo was out first with its 2005 Ford Mustang GT drift machine powered by a 2004 Mustang Cobra supercharged DOHC, 32-valve, 4.6-liter V8 and driven by Ken Gushi. As Gushi pirouetted the car around the Irwindale infield spewing off clouds of tire smoke, one of the film's producers was heard saying, "We've got to get us a really good tire deal."

Then Millen showed the drifting talents of an unmodified GTO and a production Corvette for the benefit of General Motors, and both cars looked impressive. But their muffled exhaust notes couldn't match the rumbling V8 glory of Gushi's uncorked Mustang or the turbocharged scream of Team Toyo Drift's Nissan 240SX.

If there's one thing drifting is, it's dramatic, and by the looks on the director's and producers' faces, it's clear they were mightily impressed. We'll find out which cars at the audition make it into the film when filming begins, and we'll find out if drifting, the Yakuza and a venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld pay off at the box office next summer.

Universal's already been beaten to it.
