quote form an article here it goes:

A HOLLYWOOD film about high speed street racing promotes "reckless behaviour behind the wheel", a New South Wales Labor MP said today.
Bathurst MP Gerard Martin, whose electorate plays host to one of Australia's most famous car races – the Bathurst 1000 – said the latest instalment of the Fast and Furious film series, Tokyo Drift, should trigger warning bells for parents.

"What offends me most about these movies is they are based around stolen cars, illegal modifications and street racing – which communities right across NSW are trying to stamp out," Mr Martin said.

"In country NSW, in particular, we lose dozens of young people – mostly young men – to road accidents.

"Here is a movie that targets those teens and young adults, and tells them reckless behaviour behind the wheel is the stuff of Hollywood action and adventure."

Despite labelling the film as "American trash", Mr Martin said parents needed to be wary about the level of Hollywood's influence on young adults.

"I'm urging parents to take an interest in the films their kids are seeing and, if it's drivel like this, do as much as you can to drive home the safety message," he said.

now what y'all think about that, i think its stupid and it's really just promoting the movie even more, which the movie is pretty good

grr...i beg to differ! I love fast and the furious and anything to do with cars/racing


but that doesn't mean ill go out and go "hey! i wanna go and street race!" and actually do it...

The fast and furious tokyo drift was the best F&F in all the three. I just saw it and there were so many japanese girls with short skirts!
WARNING!: SPOILERS


















I liked the ending where Vin Deisel was supposed to be related to Han, and he is going to drift race him.. Vin Deisel doesn't know how to drift!

Lol, I was surprised there too! I dunno how they managed to fit Vin Diesel in there, but hey. As for Han, I guess that part was to show that Han wasn't really affiliated with the Yakuza, maybe he was undercover or something, or else he really wouldn't be that close with Vin Diesel.

On that note... it was too bad that Han had to die in that movie, easily one of the most memorable characters there. I'm still pissed at Takashi for screwing him over...

And did anyone else notice that Takashi's uncle, the Yakuza member guy, was Sonny Chiba? You know, the famous martial artist guy from a couple of decades back? I just saw the movie, and I thought I recognized him from somewhere... Very classy appearance, indeed.

And one more thing, the movie was quite, well... Asian. Amazing... it simply wasn't one of those whitewashed movies you'd expect from Hollywood; quite surprising for me.

thats why its soo good, and the cars wasnt all westenized, its all good japanese tuning, and Han was cool, to bad he died...and the damn cops took the cars! but i still have second thoughts about the mustang with the nissan engine..

[Kenji Matsumoto]

Yes i have to agree with you all! I mean hollywood didnt screw this one up. They made it look authintic and real even tha schools were partrayed correctly. And the best part in tha movies was when sean and haghn were running from the yakuza boy (4got his name) and sean came to tha busy intersection and tha crowed moved out tha way and they hit a SMOOTH drift and the crowed and me was in awe. Its like that scene had a meaning to it and to me it saiid that sean had jus earned respect. I loved that. GOOD JOB UNIVERSAL. And i hate to say this but i do street race. Sorry guys for adding to the steriotypes. But its in my blood.

[Tanakacchi]

lol i seat i the car when my cuz street races in america, scared the crap out of me tho lol

[Guyver42]

sorry im gunn disagree with you guys. alot i didnt like about it. i give it a 2.5 or maybe a 2 out of 5.

[J*Paragon]

Lol, it's your opinion... I guess it's that my expectations were kinda low for this movie, especially after hearing Bow-Wow was cast for it...

But hey, as soon as I heard it was gonna be "F&F: Tokyo Drift", I knew I had to see this. The fact alone that it took place in Japan was my driving force... plus, you gotta admit, the Japanese women in this movie were a hell of a lot better than what we saw in the first two...

[Kenji Matsumoto]

Yeah i know racing in america can be scary but ounce u get used to it it becomes natural.

[hamster]

well but most of the scenes were shot in los angeles
just in case you guys didn't know that

[Tubster68]

Yea, and most of the "Japanese" girls in there are probably not even Japanese.

[Neutronist]
