Great film! Ideal for any petrol head, drift fan or street racing fan. It's not hard to tell that this was derived from an anime, the corny lines give it away, but non-the-less, it's a great film with great race scenes.
i watched this film round a mates house it is a excellent film this is what fast and furious toko drift copyied pure racing drift action good story line good realisam in this film as well not like a blown engine then the car is going fast 10 mins later (like fast and furious) worth a watch even if not a car / racing fan film is in japanese with english subtitles with lots of bonuses on the dvd 9.5/10
A cool movie with plenty of action, a decent storyline and even some great Japanese humour. The story of an ex race driver turned tofu man's son who teaches himself to drift on the mountain roads in order to make his tofu deliveries in double quick time. A great soundtrack and good camera positioning makes for an excellent film for some light entertainment especially if you're a Japanese car or drift enthusiast. Looking forwards to the sequel.
If you are into street racing, then this movie is definitely for you. If you Compare it to the Fast and the Furious moviesIt you will notice that it isn't as colourful or as slick, but in saying that, it wasn't meant to be. Where Intial D comes into its own is how it captures the feel of street racing culture in one part of Japan The car scenes are top notch and the characters are quite believable. Initial D enjoys a cult following in East Asia and has been around before Fast & Furious was around. It is sad that this movie didn't get the promotion it deserved when it was released in the UK. Also, for those of you who do not enjoy subtitled movies, then you will be disappointed, as this one is. So, all said and done, this is a great movie, and one which I give a hearty 5 stars.
i bought it becausei heard about it, and anything to do with modded cars and drift racing is a must! the drift scence are fantastic! u can tell it is a real pro drifting with no camera effects just him the car and the road. storie line is a bit weak but like i said the drift scence make up for it. it is funny in bit. well made me laugh. the only down side to it is that it is all in cantoneis. so u got to read the sub titles. but i still think its great! two tumbs fresh!!!
