The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Like the last two movies, the third movie in the Fast and Furious franchise is about racing. Also, like the last two movies, it’s about hot women walking around with barely anything on and a movie with a paper-thin plotline, plus terrible acting. However, most people don’t go for the storyline or the acting, they watch F&F movies for the cars. Unlike the last two movies, this one takes place in Japan just like the title says. What does work in this movie is the fish out of water story, despite the really poor acting by Lucas Black and his annoying southern accent.

Most videogamers are fully aware of drifting stuff from the many street racing games, but for the F&F series this is a first. For the most part, the stunt driving is nicely done in this movie. And most of the music is okay, being that a lot of it is hip-hop and J-pop. If I had one complaint about the music, it would have to be the way over used song by Kid Rock, "Bawitdaba". I hate that song now.

In the end, the movie isn’t very exciting, and it doesn’t have the star power that the last two movies had, that’s if you can call Paul Walker a star. The racing is respectable, but the acting is way off from most of the younger actors. As long as you know what you’re going in for you won’t be too disappointed…I guess.

Grade D+

Note: Like dumbasses, the marketing people screwed up again and revealed the only nice secret cameo in the movie, before the movie opened. The cameo is one of the main reasons the movie even has a + grade. Why did they have to spoil it for people?

Note: The Japanese women in this movie are HOT.
Bow Wow waits in the car until they call him back to star in Like Mike 3 (That’s because there is already a Like Mike 2: Streetball).
