Went and saw this last night , and I was quite impressed , the story line was ok but the drifting was excellent and some good car action Lucas Black and then Vin showed up

Would recommend going to see it if only for the car bits and the dfifting , but I would not recommend going to see it at the midnight showing (mind you plenty of room and no que for the popcorn )

i am unsure about this one tbh, last one was pretty gash, although i did like the first one

Just as long as they don't have cars where the passenger footwell drops out at 75mph, and 16-speed gearboxes but no way to change down...

I think the first one was the best.........the second was ****e other than the skyline at the start..........the third doesint look to good from the trailers

The first film was actually quite good for a superficial film; apart from the terrible street racing special effects of course!

I really had no interest in seeing this at first , but then I though what the heck can't be any worse than the others, and I did not know much about about drifting (still don't but appriciate it now) I have watched a couple of Formula D programmes , but could not get into it so I went anyway and it was good the "acting" was not great but the cars were good and as I said it made a change . I'm glad I went too see it though don't regret the £5.30 and free popcorn

Mate loaned me F&F 2, how much did I cringe. I've seen the first one too and though it was watchable, but the second - how I laughed (in dispair)

You know your running too much NOS when the footwells start peeling away.

Does everything still go blurrey when they hit the NOS button?



I don't think it could get any worse from the 2nd one

1st film was pretty decent for a car film.

2nd was utter tosh lets get to modded cars and make a film around them.

going to c the 3rd nxt week so will see then.

Having analyzed the trend outlined in your post above, I'm guessing your £5.40 will be better spent on some hand cream and a copy of Razzle.

got our lass so dont need the razzle.


looks decent enough but might via of towards xmen 3 instead

mart360

dont hold your breath there either!!!

we went to see the latest in the trilogy.. jurys out i,m afraid...


lets just say it was ok, but nothing new, and didnt give you that 'wow' factor.

the only bit worthy of the x-men moniker is the final part after the credits,

StickyMicky

watched xmen 3 here at work yesterday when it rained

"watchable while at work" would be a decent enough review
not sure if i would pay to see it, or buy the dvd when its released

InvisibleMan

only worth downloading and even then not at the expense of a dvdr

chrisola

i thought it was ok.. entertaining, nice cars, brilliant car racing, no dodgy NOS blurring or Tyrese.

And it had the 'real' drift king making a cameo as a fisherman at the docks (he comments on the yank learning to drive)

The Vin Diesel cameo was a nice touch aswell.

AND sticking a RB26 Nissan motor into a muscle car?? What the hell? Looked \ Sounded pretty awesome.. bet the prop guys enjoyed that

Scooby Soon!

Just watched the trailer... Swoon! and Phew!

All those sexy japanese ladies I am definetly going to see it

duSTI's PA

Exactly it was entertaining , I've had to sit through a lot worse .

R1916v

Am off to Tokyo in a week and a bit so will be going to see it just before for the hell of it.

Did anyone else notice the cameo from Tsuchiya Keiichi (the creator of drifting as it is known) as one of the fishermen sitting on the docks when the lad was learning to drift the red evo?

shaunywrx

Yes the person on post 15 did!

briforbes

That's what I love about Scoobynet - there's always some smart a*se waiting in the wings to correct your mistakes...

Kudos points to shaunywrx

Did you know there's a cameo from a D1 champion - a fisherman in the background as they learn to drift...

duSTI's PA

I did not know that at the time but do now thanks to this thread.

Went to see this on Friday night

There are good and bad points in this film – Rather than write a full review I’ll bullet point

Good Points

· Some awesome drifting action & race scenes
· Half naked women
· Lead female is HOT!

Bad Points

• Poor Story Line (Abysmal!)
• No actual focus on specific cars
• Vin does a cameo at the end – Why? If he didn’t want to be in the film, why a cameo?
• Loads of CGT (couldn’t be more obvious if a wet kipper slapped you in the face!)

F&F 1

The first film was excellent, I suppose it had the value of being the first film about modern modified cars, and the whole modifying scene. A major let down of the first one was the scene with the truck

F&F 2

Nice to see a mix of cars (old & new & some American muscle cars!) poor plot, good action scenes

F&F 3

Nice to see drifting covered as a topic, more so in a mainstream film, however, the lack of plot severely lets it down – conclusion, DO NOT GO AND SEE THIS FILM if you are expecting something similar to the first, it’s a mix of both films, with a drifting plot thrown in

I’m all for films like this being produced, however – the American modifying scene is completely different to the UK. Maybe the director should have actually concentrated on a decent plot and then put the film together rather than the other way around

PLEASE DON’T MAKE A 4TH ONE!!

Just saw this on DVD, one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Even the gorgeous female lead and half naked orientals couldn't save this one.

Cheesy acting, unrealistic and poor racing scenes. Straight on to ebay.

(you're right though)

It's not that bad , just adds to the dvd collection.
