Plot Summary: "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo" is written by Chris Morgan ("Cellular"), who places the third entry in Tokyo: in this adrenalized new story, set in the sexy, underground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest customized rides go head-to-head on some of the most perilous courses ever seen.

"Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo" follows the story of Shaun Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo.

In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks.

For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.

No, your eyes do not deceive you: you actually are seeing an old-school American muscle car here on IGN Cars. We must also add that, yes, the headline you see above this article is correct; the Monte Carlo you see here is indeed featured in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. We know that many of you can't believe your eyes. It's hard to believe that this car, this primered "heap" of a machine, is a feature car in a movie franchise known for its candy-colored "rice rockets".

We know that many of you won't believe us until (or if) you see the movie for yourself, so we'll take this time to explain why this car is in a movie whose subtitle is Tokyo Drift. You see, the first act of the movie takes place in some small, non-descript U.S. town, and the Monte Carlo you see here is the ride of the main character, Shaun Boswell. This car is used in a kick-ass race sequence, and if we had our way, we'd tell you all about it. However, we don't want to ruin the flick for those of you planning to see it, so we'll keep things hush-hush. We will say that this car puts some serious hurt on that one kid from Home Improvement.

Don't let this Monte Carlo's clapped-out appearance fool you -- this thing is built for racing.

If I rememder correctly, I've watch the part 2, they only race on the straight highway, didn't do much on drifting.. thats why part 3 is more about drifting, as they try to aweful the person..

Just curious.. which car was the leader actor driving? Evo 9 or 350Z?

[soundwave]
03-07-2006, 10:47 PM
Yup, shadowdancer is correct. The earlier parts are all about drag racing. Part 3 concentrates on drifiting. :yeah:
Watched the first 2 movies and definately will catch this when it is released in Singapore.

Just caught the 7pm show....not bad, most of the drifting seems 'line' and real, except one part whereby they have abt 6 cars rifting up the hillroad....

Overall not too bad, nice cars, even nicer jap babes.....although the lead man sucks......prefer the prev guy - pual walker. At least paul walker got a bit 'cool w/o trying too hard' look.....while this new guy looks like a nerdy kid at times.......personally prefer this to part 2, maybe I just pro jap, drifting is soooo way cooler compared to a 10sec flat out drag.......

All the racing scenes in the movie is shot in LA at Universal Studios.

Ironic isn't it? How Hollywood it is...

Tokyo was only a 1 week shoot for this movie!

Blooper: If you notice some shots.. the driving side changes from left to right to left again..

But i still like the movie... Even with all the skanky girls in the car park...

Vin Diesel i thought dumped the franchise but i think he needed the cash so he came back!

This movie was quite bad... The storyline sucks and from what I see, more than 50% of the races were CG. Not recommended in my to watch list for those who haven't watched it.

For those who watched:
Did you know that the fisherman who commented on his skills is actually a racing legend whom Takumi was based on. :o

Blooper: If you notice some shots.. the driving side changes from left to right to left again..

The change is because of the different make (US vs Japan) used in the movie. :)

Just caught the movie today. Plot is definitely so-so. Nice modded cars and a few pretty girls to watch. Overall it is not as exciting as the two series before.

One other thing, why these people waste petrol when they could just drive normally on the straight road instead of drifting left to right to left to right.. =))

One other thing, why these people waste petrol when they could just drive normally on the straight road instead of drifting left to right to left to right.. =))

Cause this show is Tokyo DRIFT :laugh: The Cars are Flashy indeed.

Trivia from Wikipedia

Cameos

* Vin Diesel makes an uncredited appearance as Dominic Toretto (his character from the original Fast and the Furious film), claiming to be a friend of Han's.
* Real life "Drift King" and drift pioneer Keiichi Tsuchiya also makes an appearance during the scenes where Lucas Black's character (Sean Boswell) is learning how to drift. He appears as an old fisherman who makes snide comments on Sean's lack of proper drift technique.
* Rhys Millen, the primary stunt driver in the film, has a cameo appearance as one of the passengers in the airplane scene.
* John Cho, the Korean American actor who appeared in Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow also appears in the airplane scene.
* Former sumo wrestler Konishiki makes an appearance in the bathhouse scene as one of the collection marks that owes money to Han.
* Japanese pop superstars Ayumi Hamasaki and Mika Nakashima can be seen in background pans around Tokyo.
* Import Models Verena Mei and Mari Jaramillo are in the Skyline drifted around in circles by Han.
* During the start lines near the beginning and at the end of the movie, Import Models Aiko Tanaka (Setto) and Kaila Yu (Ready) flank the start line. Satoshi Tsumabuki (Go) starts off the first race in the parking garage.
* Toshi Hayama, the English language speaking commentator at both the US and UK D1 Grand Prix events, makes an appearance at the gate to the parking garage.
* MC Hammer make numerous cameo apperances thru the film, hawking electronics and cell phones on adversements. The cameos stem from a chance encounter with Lin at the Sundance Film Festival before he made Better Luck Tommorrow.[21]


Technical

* The RB26DETT(Motor found in the Nissan Skyline GT-R) powered Mustang in the film has been subject to much criticism by fans of both US domestic cars and JDM cars. The criticism grew when it was revealed that the car itself barely had any screen time and regular, V8 powered Mustangs were used instead for most of the drift scenes.[22] [23]
o According to SCC, 1 Mustang received the RB26 swap, while 5 other Mustangs were created for drifting purposes. 2 were destroyed in the process.[24]
o In addition, the RB26 Mustang was shown to be faster than its V8 powered kin, with times of 0-60 in 5.38 seconds, and the quarter mile in 13.36 seconds at 109.83 MPH.[25]
* The S15 Silvia which Black's character trashes in his first race in Japan is depicted as having an RB26DET engine swap which itself is donated to the Mustang. However, the car used was actually powered by the S15's base SR20DE engine[26].
* The Veilside Fortune body-kitted RX-7 driven by Sung Kang's character was originally built by Veilside for the 2005 Auto Salon but was later bought by Universal and repainted (the original was dark red and not orange and black like in the film)[27].
* Notable drifting personalities Keiichi Tsuchiya, Rhys Millen, and Samuel Hubinette were consulted and employed by the movie to provide and execute the drifting and driving stunts in the film.[28] Tanner Faust, Rich Rutherford, Calvin Wan, and Alex Pfeiffer were also brought it when it was revealed that none of Universal's own stunt drivers could drift.[29]
* Toshi Hayama was also brought in to keep elements of the film portrayed correctly after being contacted by Roger Fan, an old high school friend that stared in Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow, the organizers of the Japanese D1 Grand Prix series, and his former boss at A'PEXi. Among them are keeping certain references in check (the useage of Nitrous Oxide in straights than in turns, keeping the useage of references from sponsors to a minimum, etc.).[30]
* Toshi Hayama also claims that a prop car was "stolen" by some of the action stars and taken for an impromptu "Drift Session" and never returned by the stars.[31]


Inside references

* The sentō proprietor is reading Initial D, an anime and manga franchise about a young teenage boy whom has hidden talent in racing in the mountain passes of Gunma Prefecture.
* DK bets his "86 Corolla" with Han on the result of a race." "Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya is famously known for drifting in a Toyota AE86 Corolla Sprinter Trueno.
