FAST THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT

This was fun and far less insulting or annoying than the new Star Trek flick. The Rock is the best.

wth @ after credits retcon

that was awesome

yeah... it was pretty brazen... greedo shoots first. idk what to expect from this new director tho

somebody in my theater screamed for a good 5 seconds in the interval leading up to vin midair bodyslamming michelle into a windshield

james wan's made two movies i really liked, so im at least curious to see what he does with F&F. lin's done some great work with the franchise but it kinda feels like he's said everything he could with these movies

i feel like he really hit his stride w/ this one, the flow, timing, interweaving of diff plot elements was perfected, didn't feel as clunky as 5... could be seen as a peak too, walk away before it gets stale

i thought 5 was a little smoother actually, this one dragged for me at points, wasnt really as involved in what was happening. still a good flickaroo

Within a whisper's breath of being the third highest-grossing film ever worldwide.

Yeah, but that gap hasn't been closing by very much over the last few weeks. Firmly entrenched as third in the 'Overseas' though.

I was talking to a friend about a week before it came out, wondering about the financial fate of other seventh films to compare it to: The Dark Knight, Diamonds are Forever, the next Superman vs Batman. Looks like it's outperformed the first two anyway.

thought for a second there that tokyo drift had somehow become the third-biggest-grossing movie of all time while i wasn't looking

my favourite thing about 7 was lucas black's cameo, which cut seamlessly from his fresh-faced performance in a scene from the original to the current-day lucas black who has apparently aged 25 years since 2006

If only he'd died, they could have done more!

tbf he looked very much like a corpse

So they're shooting second unit for the next one in downtown Cleveland, and just announced a ton of street closings right in the middle of the busiest parts of town for the next three weeks. This is just a month prior to the RNC happening downtown. RIP Cleveland.

The director explained: “When we went to shoot in Tokyo it’s a very different culture. They don’t give out film permits. We would be setting up a scene and people would just walk right through the set. I had this one guy, I thought he said he was me. I didn’t know what that meant.

“I wanted to shoot in Shibuya, which is the most crowded place in Tokyo. The cops, they’re all so polite, so it takes ten minutes for them to come over and kick you out. They shut us down, I’d gotten all my shots, but I didn’t know they were going to arrest me. Another guy stepped up and said, ‘I’m the director.’ I found out that it was his job to take the fall for me. He went to jail for the night and I’m forever grateful.”
