hmmmm, I remember when that movie used to be called INITAL-D.
cool that it was good though. it looked like it would just be another lame chapter in the F&F franchise.
LOL, yeah, but the Initial D movie wasn't even made in Japan, it was made in Hong Kong. Though the production was done jointly by Hong Kong and Japan, it was filmed entirely in Hong Kong. There were some Japanese actors in it though. Having seen the film, the strangest thing about it was watching the Chinese actors speak Japanese. I've never seen that in a movie, so I was kinda like "Wow" at first.
Oh, and the only things Initial D and Speed Racer have in common are cars and racing. Thats it.
Oh, and I have no intentions to ever see this movie. If it was on TV, and I was bored, I'd watch it, but I probably wouldn't be paying any attention to it.
