ancullen Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I found this link while surfing the Net. Check out the trivia at the bottom. Shows how popular Initial-D really is. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439630/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 OMG, not only are they making a real Initial D movie, but they're casting Jay Chou as Takumi, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yeah, this Jay Chou bloke doesn't seem to popular. I noticed he's a singer, so that could be why. He looks like a bit of a prat. The guy they've got to play Bunta looks perfect for the part. However reading through the storyline it seemed a bit off. My main issue was where they said that Takumi races against an Evo III from the Night Kids team. Anyone familiar with Initial-D will understand why this is wrong and just how wrong it is. And I bet they make the Takumi-Natsuki love affair into some big 'true love' thing. The whole movie (with the exception of the driving sequences) will probably suck arse. I was just amazed that Toyota's supposedly built three new Sprinters. But if you check www.initialdthemovie.com the director comments that they had to buy like twenty secondhand Sprinters (it cost them a fortune and they wrote quite a few off).

demuire Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Heh, Jay Chou is a singer, I actually have one of his albums and I don't mind him as a singer. I so can't imagine him acting, and definately not as Takumi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 It's his second movie I believe. And he just doesn't look right as Takumi. Needed someone younger looking as Takumi is meant to be much younger than all the other drifters. And Nakazato doesn't look quite right either.

demuire Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Wow, what a SHIT website. Couldn't even get it to finish loading, and that 4AGE looks and sounds wrong too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 It must have some REALLY lumpy cams with the way that cam cover was moving about. I did wait for it to load (128kb connection) and it really wasn't worth it. I only checked out one page as every page was so graphics intense that there was huge load time on it. Shouldn't be long til the movie's released from what I can gather though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 LOL. Has anyone else watching Initial-D noticed that in the Takahashi's garage in one episode (can't remember which), there's a Mercedes (I'm pretty sure it was the same as the one Nat gets in). I haven't got any further than Volume 10 in the Madman DVD releases, so I don't know if Nat turns out to be shagging Ry & K.T's dad or something. Any truth to this???

demuire Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Jamie: Or you could just be a Takumi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Jamie couldn't be Takumi. A KE25 (R.I.P.) has less power and doesn't handle as well as an AE86. Which in Initial-D would mean it would go faster than an AE86, so Jamie would be better than Takumi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 "a Takumi" definition: Someone who drives a shitty old underpowered Corolla against cool fast new rice cars, and uses doriftor skillz to win every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
