Product Description
Universal The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - HD-DVD/DVD Combo
From the makers of The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious comes the highest-octane installment of the hit movie franchise built for speed! When convicted street racer Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) tries to start a new life on the other side of the world, his obsession with racing sets him on a collision course with the Japanese underworld. To survive, he will have to master driftinga new style of racing where tricked-out cars slidethrough hairpin turns, defying gravity and death for the ultimate road rush. With more mind-blowingstunts and heart-pounding racing sequences than ever, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift puts you in the drivers seat. "Strap yourself in for a blistering, super-charged ride."-- Pete Hammond, MAXIM

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift has all the elements that spelled success for its predecessors: Speed, sex, and minimal dialogue. The plot doesn't need explication; it's a nonsensical series of confrontations and standoffs that serve to get us from one race to another. Tokyo Drift can most accurately be described as a visual poem about screeching tires, crunching fiberglass, and sleek female skin, set to a killer soundtrack of Japanese pop and hip-hop. The actors are only needed for tight close-ups of narrowed eyes or sweaty hands tightly gripping gearshifts, though Sung Kang, Better Luck Tomorrow, stands out as a vaguely philosophical hoodlum with deadpan charisma. The curved bodies of the cars and the luscious flesh of the women are both shot with a fetishistic hunger. The "drift" style of racing--in which the cars are allowed to slide in order to take sharp turns at high speeds--grabs your eyes; there's a strange, spectral beauty to rows of cars sliding sideways down a mountain road at night. Also starring Lucas Black (Friday Night Lights) as our wheel-happy hero; Bow Wow (Roll Bounce) as the scam-artist comic relief; and martial arts legend Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) as a yakuza big shot. --Bret Fetzer

 good fantasy race September 23, 2008
Unless the movie show many strange behavior about the Japan culture, the director make a great rescue in the Fast & Furios sequel.
Great CGI and photo shoot work, make this work to enjoy a good action movie.
The bonus in the DVD, show a good work and have complete material to learn the tricks than they use to film the movie.
I'm particularly like, because is not the clasic mafia, war action movie. Is about the cars and the speed. Noting more.
 Meaningless and do more harm than good June 9, 2008
I watched this DVD just because I have watched Initial D (the same car racing / drifting gerne) animation. I watched it just because I wanted to know how it could be shot with real people. To my disappointment, I found it was a very useless theme. There is no actual reason for this drifting/racing. I guess that is a teenage thing -- anger. I believe a lot of 1-star had been giving to this film and I am not going to eleborate any more.
I found it has a real bad influence to anyone who loves cars and those who always wanted to race. Even though the main character, Sean, never really injured in the movie, all his opponents died! Right, they all died. If anyone has a clear mind, Sean is just on the border and he could be the next one in line.
Last 2 words -- Drive Safely.
Better than I expected. May 21, 2008

This movie was great. I watch many time, then I began to try drifting on my own car. It didn't work out so well and now I'm in a major law suit with the director and producer of this film.
 Tokyo Drift March 23, 2008
I bought this video for my teenage son. It was an okay film for teens, but not for adults. The first two Fast and Furious films were better than Tokyo Drift, and had much more action, and stunt driving.
The theme in The Fast And The Furious Toykyo Drift was about an American teen who had problems and was sent to live with his father in Tokyo, Japan. He didn't fit in well and found himself in trouble almost from the start of the film.
I watched the movie with my son, and the only part I found interesting was the "drifting" part of the movie. The rest was as usual in teen movies...
it's racing time March 1, 2008
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a pretty decent action flick. It's about a teenager (who looks like he's about 30) who constantly gets in trouble for racing cars against other people. So his mother ships him off to Japan and to be with his father, who was in the Navy and doesn't take any nonsense from his son.
However, his son must not be too bright, seeing as how the father has to explain to the boy time and time again he won't put up with his car racing hobby (and when the father eventually found out anyway but the son tried to explain why he was racing didn't make much sense to me) and yet, he continues to race anyway.
Throughout the movie, the teenager has to deal with a tough Japanese gang who not only races cars, but doesn't tolerate a lot of garbage from people. This of course leads to some fighting scenes later on.
The actual car races are fun to watch, and there's a lot of storyline focus on the races themselves, which makes this movie an action-packed quality adventure. I like it, and I'm sure most people who like action and car racing will feel the same.
