Yeah i have it on DVD. Weird thing is the movie is in Chinese full of China men but they're playing Japanese hahaa! The drifting in it is much better than 2 fast 2 furious because a lot of it is actual drifting.

Someone plz explain the fascination with drifting. It looks like driving, except more sideways. Driving is boring, so I assume sideways driving is equally boring, but there must be something I'm missing here.

I love initial D, and I love drifting. Contrary to my initial belief, it is possible to drift a Ford Falcon. You think driving is boring? I love driving. Driving is like a biscuit, sometimes nice, sometimes plain. Drifing is like the yummy chocolate chip inside.

I like how they spoke in cantonese, writing on all the signs etc was in japanese, then all the background music in the movie is in english. Truly a multicultural movie.

Watching it in Mandarin was AIDS.
f***EN AIDS I TELL YA!

What's the fascination with drifting or any motorsport for that matter?

Get sideways @ 120km/hr, feel the wind suddenly hit your face then stick your hand out the window and wave. Inhale the Avgas and burning rubber. Listen to that SR20 screem past 7,000rpm as the 2835R hits 18psi (or more, can't say I was paying attention)
All that combined makes for one euphoric moment....or maybe my helmet was just on too tight.

it's possible to drift just about any car, some might need a wet road to compensate for lack of power, why would you think a falcon wouldn't drift?

My problem was not actually being able to step the car out sideways; near on 400nm of torque takes care of that nicely. My problem was controlling a dirty big falcoon with 100kgs of gas tank directly over the rear end. I mean, falcons are not known for gracefulness under 'stressful' situations. I got very good at not requiring power to drift - I had a carby fed 1.3L rear-drive corolla for years to practice on. It's all about balance and weight shifting, i find. A bit of power just makes it easier to commence.

Nobody uses the term 'douchebag' in Australia. And with good f***ing reason, it's a s***ty insult.
