LOL… blue flames!!

FnF is pretty much to blame for millions of ricers world wide. I watched the original at a drive in, anyone with a honda peeled out and started racing right out of the parking lot. I laughed so hard. But I love using quotes from the movie to make fun of others… haha. Tuna on white, no crust.

Neil, BAHAH.. That floor pan malfunction makes me piss my pants every time I think about it! Though it would actually be feasible if it happened to a rusty ol’ S30

i jsut hate seeing the real takumi tax…kids buying AE86s and 240sx’s and Tokyo Drifting them into a wall.

That said, the s30 is such a cool car and just having a movie devoted to it is rad! I know its cheap and cheesy, but hey at least they’re trying to entertain us with something we like!

Fair enough, I guess thats another way to look at it. And these cars are already rare enough the kids wont be able to get a hold of them anyways to ruin them. I just don’t like what initial D has done for the AE86 crowd, or fast and furious driving up the supra prices. I will say that one good thing has come from those kinds of movies tho, and thats all the aftermarket support companies now offer due to the increasing interest in the hobby which is nice. But aside from that in my opinion its a bad thing.
Maybe I’m still bitter from the fast and furious movies that put the wrong message out and create all the wanna be’s. I’ve always loved wangan midnight and initial D for there technical aspects. They are true to the real thing some what. Its not just a load of garbage with floor pans flying out for no reason.

Neil,

I have to disagree. One of the main reasons JNC is online is to make these cars “popular” and “noticed” ? …and for the folks that own these cars, making them more valuable and sought after is a good thing! – especially after all the time and money we have dumped into them. I say, bring it state side (which wont happen of course) and make my car a winning lotto ticket! lol

I really hope this never comes state side. Thats just what we need is a bunch of kids into the S30 driving the prices of them through the roof, sort of like the “takumi tax” on the AE86. Wangan Midnight is something I’d hate to see gain popularity with that crowd. I like it just as it is, unpopular and unnoticed, around here anyways. I know its pretty big in japan.

You would think that in this day and age directors would try to make movies a little more true to life by filming real action driving scenes and not try to fool the audience by film trickery or not using the same kind of car throughout the movie. I would like to see ONE movie that does not do the above mentioned just once. Dont get me wrong ,I would still go see the movie but I still end up pointing out all the things wrong with the scenes.call it OCD.
