WhiteNissanS13 · 10-24-2004, 11:47 PM

i dont know a word they're saying besides when he said "Action" im guessing there making an initial d movie with real people to be released in 2005?

Drift101 · 10-24-2004, 11:52 PM

i dont care what anyone says, i like it. yay for real life initial D, i am sure it will be entertaining. and by entertaining meaning its something fun to watch, NO NEED TO BE SUPER REALISTIC WHEN IT IS FUN!

s13driver · 10-24-2004, 11:55 PM

so when is the release day.. neither she nor they mention anything about it .

KoukiMonster · 10-25-2004, 12:42 AM

whoooop de dooo

twirls index finger...

s13silady · 10-25-2004, 12:48 AM

i think its going to be pretty cool

240silvia · 10-25-2004, 01:26 AM

WOOT! Those guys are amazing. I love the video game too!

HyperTek · 10-25-2004, 02:26 PM

so is this chinese or japanese? Looks really cool I must say, really good camera angles, just like the anime. I wonder how they gonna pull off the "gutter trick"...

Just hope Quintin Terrentino or Tokyo Pop dont try releasing it out here.. hehe

dvdevo · 10-25-2004, 03:38 PM

its chinese.

s13driver · 10-25-2004, 04:10 PM

i 'm thinking this is just another one of those Shuto Kousoku Trail Series, but with drifting in mind, instead of street racing.

XxJaPxOxNeEs23xX · 10-25-2004, 05:57 PM

o man it looks tyte but i hope its not in chinease. but it looks like it will cuz the kanji is written differnt from japanese

KoukiMonster · 10-25-2004, 06:33 PM

kanji is borrowed from china.

a japanese person can read some characters of chinese writing.

that is why japanese people bring a pen/pencil and a notepad to write on when they go to china because they have no other means to communicate, except through the chinese/kanji characters that they share.

steaLthy240 · 10-25-2004, 07:59 PM

yup, the movie should be coming out sometime next year..

it's going to be in chinese with chinese actors like nicholas tse and edison chen.

can't wait for it! only thing im worried about is more kids will want to drift because of it, just like how they wanted to race after seeing FnF.

i know kanji is chinese cuz i am japanese nd iv learned that crap. but im talking about the way the japanese chose the kanji and the chinese are different. i cant read kanji all that well but the title of initial d is written different from the title in chinease. just look at the two. ull see wat im talking about

240trainee · 10-25-2004, 09:12 PM

I dunno, will have to see it.

psychedelicbeats · 10-25-2004, 10:14 PM

it'll probably turn out ot be one of those chinese movies like legend of speed or whatever... pretty low profile

w0nderbr3ad · 10-25-2004, 10:36 PM

its defintately on my movies to watch list

kazuo · 10-26-2004, 01:33 AM

Japanese kanji, while stolen from the Chinese every few years when they sailed across the sea to start some shit, occasionally has different meaning than what it means in China.

Example: What dude pointed out in the Initial D Live-Action tralier. Look at the kanji for the title in the Mandarin (Chinese) version, and compare to the Japanese.

Different.

The basic stuff is the same but from there it all goes downhill.

HyperTek · 10-26-2004, 02:59 AM

since its being filmed in another country that it didnt originate from, how legit is it at being an "official movie" based on the series?? thats what im wondering.

The same way as The Ring and The Grudge were American remakes of Japanese titles, the Chinese make of Initial D is kinda like that. Just enjoy it for what it is, I don't expect it to follow the Japanese story much but it should be entertaining in itself.

And if you follow popular Chinese cinema, it stars some of the hottest actors in HK today.

ugh... i read about this on rx7club. i predict this movie will be a disaster.

i heard they use the real japanese locations to do the shooting and saw some pics of the cars. they could've at least upgraded them a bit... when the 86 corners there is some INSANE body roll. maybe fitting for itsuki's car but not a car tuned by bunta...

urbanimpakt · 10-26-2004, 10:02 AM

From what I understand it really doesnt follow the story line 2 well. It has all the characters and cars but shitwill be changed For instance Natsuki is Ryousuke's G/F. I'll still see it tho, if not just for the cars. Im curious to see which engine they start out w/ in the AE86. I also wanna know about if they will still have Mt Akina or what are they gonna do. I know there is a similar road to Irohazaka (sp?) in Japan but thats it.

Previous Zilvia thread about it

Link w/ some info

KoukiMonster · 10-26-2004, 10:57 AM

i see well that was my understanding since my japanese teacher told us about the history of kanji and what japanese people do when they go to china.

HyperTek · 10-27-2004, 07:10 PM

well as long as it has the music right, and it did look like some pretty nice camera angles, im sure it will be entertaining.

Edit - 4th stage episodes 7 & 8 are out.. i dled a english subbed 7 last night... anyone know if a subbed 8 is out?

s13driver · 06-26-2005, 12:05 AM

watched the theater version a little bit probably no more than 20 mins due to the quality. just enought to find out how the movie turns out. in my opinion, the music SUX. the dialog is somewhat stupid. the battle is TOO SHORT. and it didn't fully follow the original story if you didn't know.

sLip techniques · 06-26-2005, 12:08 AM

where did u watch it??

s13driver · 06-26-2005, 12:09 AM

home infront of my pc. got it off bit-torrent

sLip techniques · 06-26-2005, 12:12 AM

Oh nice ill be doing the same then. You think FaF3 will be better ?

s13driver · 06-26-2005, 12:17 AM

is possible. but i wont know it until i watch some trailer or the real thing.
