So it's still okay to show the newest model cars in the newer F&F movies because once they get to Japan those kids aren't buying up 2008+ STI, 2010 GT-R's, 2013 BRZ's, etc.

They're driving reworked 350Z's, RX8's, Evo VI's, etc.

I felt the same way too. I'm only slightly ashamed to admit it was my favorite one. I think the main guy's accent was just a little too much for people. That and having to swallow the idea that he's a high school kid.



^Still my favorite scene.

I agree. I really would like to see what happens after Tokyo Drift

No he's not, he's always been Korean. In Tokyo Drift, he talks about Tokyo being his "Mexico," and he's never been identified as being Japanese. He just lived there after the events of the previous movies (in the timeline).

In Fast Five when he (and the other people in their crew) had been identified by The Rock, his name shows up as "Han Seoul-Oh," which is a bit Korean-ish (and a pun on Han Solo from Star Wars).

I think Jeremy Lin has enough integrity to be accurate in certain portrayals (as in the Tokyo Drift behind-the-scenes/director's commentary he talks about having met with actual Yakuza members to figure out how to portray them accurately) and probably won't be casting Asian guys to play a completely different Asian nationality (unless it's one where they are truly similar in appearance without being obvious to Asian people, like in the first one where they had a Korean and a Filipino both portraying Chinese people).

Haha, I like when he asks for a copy of the video of him driving through the house.

I like the line where Han goes, "Why can't you just get yourself an Asian girl like the rest of the white guys?"

And then he tells the girls at the party "Stay back he's underage"

I kind of resent this comment. I didn't order the frs because I am some ricer kid. One my local Subaru dealer sucks balls. Also the frs was available sooner and has no markup on price.

Dude, maybe it's me but I thought Tokyo Drift was the absolute bottom of the series. I mean 2F2F was kind of bad, but then TD totally sucked for me. The actors were terrible (even by F&F standards), the only redeeming quality was Sung's character. And that sweet orange RX-7? he was driving. Maybe it was because I had already seen the live-action version of Initial-D but I felt like that was a far better "drift-racing-type movie" than TD... even if that one did also in hindsight have terrible acting as well, the driving sequences were so much better. I do feel like with F&F and F5 the series picked up again, I mean it had to after hitting rock bottom with Tokyo Drift.

On another note, what I do fear with the release of this movie will be, the increased po-po attention to import cars and modified cars in general. If the BRZ gets some star attention on the big screen, I dread being pulled over shortly thereafter by LE who are thinking in their minds, "oh there goes one of them F&F type cars, let's see what they have under their hood, or in their trunks..."

I agree. Should have used the FR-S instead. Maybe actually SELL those BRZs rather than keep them to give away to a movie studio. Supplies are limited enough as it is.

Additionally, the buzz around the Hollywood water cooler is that Fast Six cars like the BRZ might be driven by actors including longtime series stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Not really sure how Vin Diesel or The Rock will fit in car.... both are pretty big dudes....

[DeeezNuuuts83]

Vin Diesel is pretty short, even though he's stocky. He wears risers in his boots or stands on platforms to be closer in height to Paul Walker (6'2" or 6'3") and The Rock (6'5" or 6'6").
