I finally saw 3 fast 3 furious. and laughed my ass off.

a couple things i couldnt understand though.

1, why the kid at the beginning was trying to run the malibu off the road with a viper.

2, why someone would transplant a nissan motor into a mustang

3, in the big chase scene, the johnny tran lookin guy is chasin the american, and they’re drifting, dude, you can go faster if you drive straight!!!

4, the jap who ends up dying gives his car to the american to drive, WTF.

5, it seemed like all of these kids attended high school, yet they each have $40k cars.

i will never watch it again, if i do, i’ll be sure to find it in the comedy section.

I find this movie funny too. I don’t try to watch it thinking its a serious representation of any kind of ‘scene’. If Japan has any kind of scene like that - god help us all. (except that dance club/house/garage would be pretty cool)

But…

1. The kid was a spoiled brat and it was Daddy’s car. Why would he care if he ruins it. He didn’t work for it. Plus his respect was on the line, haha

2. The Nissan drive train was the only thing left behind after the garage was raided. Although I think it would of been easier to just fix the body panels on the Nissan - they decided to totally pimp out the mustang with available Nissan parts.

3. They were driving down a major road with lots of traffic. They were drifting to avoid other cars. I agree a straight line would of been quicker - just impossible with the amount of traffic.

4. Yeah really… who the fuck would do that? although he was obviously too rich for his own good by the looks of his hang out spot and other cars.

5. Yeah, they were s’posed to be in high school. I guess you can be a baller if you work for the Yakuza at 17 :rolleyes:

But remember - it’s a movie. Its for entertainment. If it was meant to represent real life it would be called a documentary.

I had a friend that was in the scene over there when he was stationed there. Where he was at you could get cars pretty cheap because they didn’t have alot of parking spaces so people would sell their old car so they would have room for their new one.

1: it’s a fucking movie.

2: it was still much better than the first two.

3: not only is it just a movie, it’s an ACTION movie, a genre that takes liberties with reality all the fucking time.

i enjoyed the movie. the dialogue was cheesy as hell, and the plot was unrealistic, but it was an entertaining movie.

unrealistic as it was i actually enjoyed the beginning car chase with the viper ending up wrecked, but my opinion dont count because i have 7 seasons of an orange charger that never needed gas and could jump anything.

That dude was Brad from Home Improvement at the beginning haha. His bitch was hot though.

And agreed, it was better than the 2nd, but I still like 1 the best. Remember also, they jumped a Yenko Camaro like 30+ feet into a yacht so take 3 with a grain of salt.
