The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

Story: The third in the wildly popular FAST IN THE FURIOUS series--a hybrid of fast cars, hot teens, and fetishized technology--gets a new jolt of energy and style courtesy of young hotshot director Justin Lin, who won raves at Sundance in 2002 for his look at Asian-American teens in BETTER LUCK TOMORROW. Leading man in training Lucas Black stars as sensitive rebel Sean Boswell, who, despite hailing from the poor section of town, vamps up his used car to drag race against the best of them. After numerous racing challenges won--including one against his high school's popular, wealthy quarterback--Boswell gets in trouble with the law one too many times. To escape confinement to a juvenile detention center, Boswell's military father ships him all the way across the world, to that most futuristic, tech-savvy of cities, Tokyo. There, he meets his match in the powerful, cruel D.K. (Brian Tee), who is not only the car racing star of the Japanese underground, but also related to several dangerous Yakuzas (gangsters). Complicating matters is Sean's undeniable (and mutual) attraction to D.K.'s gorgeous girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelly). The racing style, he soon learns, is very different in this strange land--a practice known as "drifting" that is more elegant and virtuoustic than American-style demolition. Yet if anyone can take on D.K. and his band of Yakuza yeomen, it's this race car rebel. All the pieces of the action movie puzzle, including sexy stars, nonstop action, and heart-stopping thrills, combine with a stylish aesthetic and energetic soundtrack to make another fine addition to a fantastic franchise. And director Lin is adept at rendering Tokyo a full-dimensional, culturally rich location, rather than a video game backdrop.

Comments: New Country, New Rulez, New Speed, New Coolness :-D

I like this Drifting stuff that they have in this movie.

All new characters, except for Vin Diesel at the last minute or so.
I heard this from my friends that in the end he was present.
Seeing the movie i thought that perhaps this movie was a bit in the past and that the kid later grew up to be Vin Diesel from Fast & the Furious Part 1.
But that's not the case, he just lived his life on, and now expanded his racing from 10-second racing to drifting. Who wins they don't show.

The Accent of the lead actor doesn't quite seem right ( in my opinion ) for this movie, is southern and farmlike in tone, and Japan / Asia is all modern.

Yet in the end, american muscle wins from hi-tech as in most off The Fast & Furious series.

Drifting is very difficult and that's what this movie shows, it's unique again, just like Fast & Furious part I

Very good movie in my opinion.
Action scenes were terrific.

1 bad side, the lead actor, i DO believe they should've picked a other actor.

He tries his best and all, but this kind off movies just doesn't suit him, let him play in movies like ''Signs'' , ''Children of the Corn'' , '' Poltergeist '' or other farm-like movies.

Hi-tech just doesn't suit him.

Other then that, fantastic movie.
A+ in my book.

Definately go see it, either on DVD, VHS or on TV.
If your deciding to buy it, good choice, I am definately gonna see this movie more.
