Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift...

We all know how bad the movies suck, the worst acting ever, and the rice is ridiculous. However, Im sure alot of us could watch the movie and now the words to atleast one seen in each of the first two. My questions are:

1. Why is it that despite how bad the first two were why do we still watch them?

2. Why are most of us here probably going to go see the third one?

Although we do have a discussion on fast and the furious on the movie/television forum.. i can say that we all go see the movies just to see the cars and even though we hate it we see it because it is a movie and want to see how bad it is so we can talk crap about it later.

We are all douche bags

skeet bags sounds better.

^i agree with the top two. :icon16:

I'm going to ram my head through a wall if I have to suffer through another F&F3 thread.

The answer to your question is that there is a severe lack of custom car/ street racing movies, therefor we only have one provider to flock to. Its like how some neighborhoods have one electricity provider, crappy or not you have to buy from them.

And before anybody says this stupid shit again, this movie will not ruin drifting. Drifting is already huge and it won't get much bigger because not every 16 year old with a beater Hachi-Roku can drift. They fuck up one time and its over, they learn their lesson. Drifting gets enough publicity from D1, Formula D, television, DVDs, videogames, magazines, etc. Some bullshit movie with poser white boys and midget rappers is not going to expand the drift scene much more than it already is. GAWD.

yea, you tell 'em, Will!

I saw the first one, it was so-so. definitely not interesting enough to watch again. I never saw the second. Probly won't see the third. The idea of it just doesn't interest me. I'm not into flashy cars, I like stealth style cars all black (except for heads and taillights) no wings/bodykits/ loud exhausts etc. nothing too eye catching.

GAWD.

Time of the month I see..

our golf's a bit of a sleeper, everyone thinks it's slow, pulls pretty fast for a small car. obviously not as fast as other cars on the road but quick none-the-less. and it can spin the fronts off the line.

F&F sucks, but we'll still watch it.

Im guessing you didnt notice the Camaro Yenko and Dodge Challenger in the 2nd movie then?

no, i dont think he did. fool.

will's right and i'm just watchin the 3rd one cos it's the first automotive movies in what like 3 years? and i'm planning on laughing hysterically on every chance i get

like when you walk past a mirror, right?

I'm not going to see it.

I'll just see it when it comes on cable, like I did with the other two F&Fs.

like when you walk past a mirror, right?

Haha, ouch.

I'm going to see it with a bunch of people from the local motor club with RWD cars. We're all going to line up with for sale signs on our cars for shits and giggles. I'm going to see a movie to watch a few of my favourite cars. Even if they are really flashy, deep down, it's still a car. All I can see is that it's true about what was said about how the movie isn't going to expand the popularity of drifting. If anything, it'll suffocate itself because the movie came by too late after the fame of drifting. A movie's a movie though.

The only thing I know for sure, is that there's going to be a bunch of pimped out Nissans at the theaters the second the movie comes out :lol:

I'm going because I want to laugh my ass off at the movie, then I can watch all the rich kids trying to drift in mommy's BMW or daddy's Corvette.

like when you walk past a mirror, right?

nah.. like when i read the love letters your mom keeps sending me

people like you shouldn't try and make jokes, they fail.

:owned:

you must mean "Mowned"

Wow, I didnt realize F&F was such a touchy subject. I honestley try not to watch them but I agree with what everyone is saying. A car movie is a car movie. However, did everyone go see Herby: Fully Loaded?

it has cars, going fast. so what if the acting's crap.

you dont go to a car movie for the dialogue.

However, did everyone go see Herby: Fully Loaded?

yes... didn't like it. (compared to the original, i loved the original)

also, i'm not gonna waste my 10 bux on F&F. i'll watch it when its out on video. i'll save judgement, but as i didn't exactly like the first two, i'm pretty sure i won't like this one... as a movie. i'm sure i'll enjoy some of the race scenes. The last race in the first one, when Vin Diesel gets pwned by the train, that was nice.

i saw the original herbie years back, just not my thing.

i bough the previous F&F. not for the acting. not for the story line. for the cars. that's why.

However, did everyone go see Herby: Fully Loaded?


Sadly I did. Only good parts were Rhys Millen's drifts in the GTO and Lindsey Lohan's skirt.

:boink:

people like you shouldn't try and make jokes, they fail.

there is nobody like me.......

i was being kind.

I don't mind the cars, they at least are professionally done with tens of thousands sunk into making them look proper.


It's the acting that'll kill me

generally it is usually the acting that kills everybody. Its all like cheesy and exaggerated and stuff dude homie.

and there's one more thing i've been trying to figure out, is nitrous explosive? some people say yes and some say no

^you should so go buy some and find out!!!

Sadly I did. Only good parts were Rhys Millen's drifts in the GTO and Lindsey Lohan's skirt.

:boink:

I bought the damn movie cause of those two reasons. :grinno:

Im still not sure if I'll see Tokyo Drift at the theaters or not but yeah its all we got so might as well.

and there's one more thing i've been trying to figure out, is nitrous explosive? some people say yes and some say no

of course it is you idiot. if it wasn't flammable/exposive it wouldn't increase engine performance would it?

of course it is you idiot. if it wasn't flammable/exposive it wouldn't increase engine performance would it?

no2 is not explosive. just like oxygen is not explosive. but if you put it in a closed container under pressure and heat it up you will get a nice explosion.

what you meant to say was "under normal atmospheric conditions, including pressure, N2O is not explosive. it is, however, flammable. but is more explosive under higher pressure conditions."

of course it is you idiot. if it wasn't flammable/exposive it wouldn't increase engine performance would it?

omg.....then co2 is explosive?

Now now ladies, lets agree to disagree

No NoX is not flammible :grinno:

On topic: This movie is going to suck, the white dude is a horrible actor, all the cars are riced out, and the ones that arent are wanna be riced out ones

omg.....then co2 is explosive?

no. the rule does not apply for all gases.

like argon for exaple, most light bulbs are filled with argon because it is inert (unreactive) so the filament doesn't burn (it can reach over 1000 deg. C or 1830 deg. F) if there was air in the bulb the filament would burn. CO2 is used because it cools the charge temperature and therefore allows more air in, and the decrease in heat and increase in intake volume the power and efficiency of the engine is increase. (power not by much though, this is really a safety measure.)

well now that i got my chemistry lesson im ready to move on to the next thread.

i go to point and laugh at people in the audience

i go to point and laugh at people in the audience

Wouldn't you be in the audience as well?

^ Nice one.


I'd say the cars are riced out, but the trailer shows a shitload of D1 and Formula D cars.

I heard that they tried to get some of the previous actors to do part III, most of which were quite hesitant.…..

my sig says it all :icon16:

This movie is going to suck ass. But, I'll see it anyway to critisize it.

-Chris

bah

You all are going to love it and become jealous of the cars

Every time I see this kid all I can think of is Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade sayin' "I like the way you talk. Uhh huh"

the only thing that made the movies bearable was paul walker mmm mmm. hehehe i got stuck watching one of these F&F movies. i only went along with it cuz they fed me popcorn to shut me up. and then some guy kept trying to touch me. so i spent most of the movie trying to get away from his nasty ass...:banghead: not like i really wanted to watch the movie but u get the point. and was it one of these movies where that really sexy ripped guy took his shirt off and punched thru some car window?

oh and no i won't go see this movie. no hot guys in it this time i heard..what a shame. and i don't like rice.

You all are acting like little boys afraid of girls.

EWWW THAT MOVIE HAS COOTIES!!!!

shut up. it's a movie. It's a cool movie. You're all just jealous because you aren't getting movies made about YOUR style. Rice is obviously not MY style either, but gimme a break. It's a car/action movie. You're complaining about the acting? None of you can act any better than paul walker anyways. You're all pathetic. Intimidated by a rice movie... lame.

I'll be seeing it. Then I'll drift....:icon16:

kidding, who the f*** drifts in a suv?

Uhhh... Sigh... W/e just let em win... :banghead:

kidding, who the f*** drifts in a suv?

where there's a will, there's a way.

where there's a will, there's a way.

It's probably possible...but I ain't going to try that sh*t. :rolleyes:

i've seen it done, but only in snow. i'd never try that shit on dry tarmac.

EVO magazine did a thing to improve a car's 1/4 mile time. they put it on a trailer and used different SUVs to tow it! they took like 7 seconds off its time or something.

i've done it a few times in my mom's ford escape. but only in the snow. it was fun one time i slid across the road turning onto a street at an intersection *it was like 2 am so no one was around* and slid so far i set off the traffic sensor and switched the lights.

i haven't done any snow drifting after i missed going headfirst into a creek in my lumina by a few feet. slid around a corner and just kept turning :( some cute guy stopped to help me right away tho so it was ok.
