    Antonio Alvendia:
    Hey have you guys ever seen the Jackie Chan film, called THUNDERBOLT???

    I know that!! I watched in some chinise home movie channel. But I cant remember the story really. I think he crash? Am I right?

     

    Fast and the Furious series must be the crappiest movies I have seen the whole time.

     

    There's a Initial D movie but I never really got the chance to finish it. (I just watched maybe 10 mins of it.)

    hands down. INITIAL D is a must see for all who are interested in racing. the anime is directed and produced by tsuchiya for christ's sake.

     

    as for Fast and Furious.....i think that movie ruined it for all of us. it was a fancy ass movie, sensationalizing a community of petrolheads. movies like those give rise to the ricer population...

     

    gone in 60 sec was a great movie (one w/ nicholas cage).

     Wangan Midnight

    Not a movie yet, but to make a long story short it's the SAME production crew from the Initial D series, yet BETTER, Udig?

    Thank me later for the addiction Wink

    I watched every subtitled episode I could find of Wangan. It was really impressive - got up to the one where a woman goes nuts and drives an R33 off a pier. I gotta agree that it's better than Initial D by a long way. Started my love affair with 240Z's too! Gotta get my own Devil Z.

    Wangan Midnight is awesome, I wish they would make that into a feature length, live-action movie.

     

    did someone say Thunderbolt?! You hit the nail on the head, after hearing about that movie (through some DSM forums I think) I searched and searched and finally found a copy of it on eBay of all places. The movie was pretty low-budget, and had it's slow spots but entertaining nonetheless. I love when they receive and unwrap the "new" 4g63!

     

    If anyone has a chance, search for Freeway Speedway. I've heard that it was an illegally shot video-turned into movie on the Wangan mostly. I think there is some up on YouTube. Some very sweet footage of a Z33 vs R34 battle if floating around.

    As my avatar suggests, Days of Thunder ranks up there for me but it is not my favourite. Its more of a nickname. Talladega Nights is also pretty funny although I think it would be wrong to call it a Great Racing Movie.

    I love Le Mans and Grand Prix, C'etait une Rendezvous is awesome but short, Vanishing point is also great.
