But one thing i liked from Tokyo Drift is that it starred Keiko Kitagawa though she had a lesser role...She is a Japanese idol who played the role of Sailor Mars in the Sailor Moon live action show Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. She has been a model for the Japanese Seventeen magazine since late 2003...
Dude that is exactly what my friends kept saying, that it some how copies Inital D.
And i don't know if i can say that they copied inital d but i can say that tokyo drift was a waste of my time. Twas the worst Fast and the furious serie made. Nothing good of it, arg i was soo aggravated when watching...however the ending where you see Vin Disel was the only high point of the movie. Anticipates his "possible" return :-/...but besides that the movie sucked balls in all forms.

Btw, aside from Keiko Kitagawa, there's one more thing i sort of like from the movie...One of the songs that was played there was from an old yet highly respected Japanese punk band. It was a cover song, 'Top of the World' by Shonen Knife...i'm not too sure though if this all-female band is still active playing music in japan...

Not even close. XD

I will admit though, I love that movie. Terrible acting, paper thin plot, goofy characters, but if your a car nut (like myself) it's like watching porn. A '67 Mustang with the Nissan RB26DETT for an engine... Rediculous? Yes. Impractical? Very. Blasphemous? Absolutly. Awesome? HELL YES!!!

I liked some parts of Tokyo Drift even though most of it was horrible. But on a side note a friend of mine went to Hawaii and he said he felt like he was in Japan and he hated it. He said next time he has to make sure he goes to a different island because all he ate was Japanese food the entire time.
