Initial D..THE MOVIE!!, Its out.. Options

[Valo666]

So tonight i went to see if my friend was workin at best buy near here, i went to his department and he wasnt there, so i went over to the car audio visual department. As i was walking around this lil asian guy who was workin there went over to one of the indash dvd players and turned up the volume. I looked over and there was a birds eye view of a bunch of hairpin turns with a bunch of japaneese text floating around. I kinda though 2 my self "this looks kinda fermiliar". The video started to skip on one of the players so he switched it. As it started up, the volume was cranked and all you hear is this crazy roar of a exhaust system. Then all of a sudden u see a white flash and the word "Tureno" pop up out of no where, then it comes to a menu with tons of japaneese text. So the guy chooses one of the options and the movie starts and sure enough it was Initial D, the movie. Like real life drifting with replica AE86, Sil-Eighty and RX-7s all with initial D theme. The guy told me the plot is a combonation of all of the inital D series combined. But holy crap, even though i couldnt understand the first 10 min(sub titles didnt kick in till 15 min into the movie) and its damn good. He got it from this place in Scarbrough called Passific Mall(every one in T.O. with an import knows this place) for $3CND for a bootleg. But holy hell this video is hot. N its a full 1.5 hour movie with all the initial D theme. Its nuts, im gonna b making the 40+ min drive out to passific mall to buy a copy tomorrow. Any one else seen this movie? or parts?? or heard about it?

Somebody have to get a DVD release for this.. I'm not gonna buy some crappy bootleg copy that's for sure..

But if somebody finds the real thing, sure.. Buy a bunch of copies and sell them on the board

If you really want it, I have the torrent file somewhere... I hear the movie sucks... so...

[shin]

i've watched it and the story ain't all that great... not really following the anime. the best part are afew scenes when racing and the EVO 3's HKS ssqv bov goes choooooooo lol...

[lagos]

i saw it too ..... i dont know what u mean shin, cause it was 100% the same plot line as the anime. i thought it was really well done, and stayed true to the original.

[SlowCelica94]

I saw it dubbed. The dubbing was horrible. Whne those 2 guys got in that fight one yelled "I just want to eat people!"

But the movie was entertaining. I love that FC in it. It just needs something....like an LS1

art. in the anime there wasn't a scene where the ae86, evo III and Fc raced at the same time. and the dude that drives the S13 and later AE86 was the one who was suppose to be drivin the Levin 85. i think his name is itsuki. he never drove a S13 before. and when did the owner of the gas station become itsuki's dad lol... so it's not a complete plot from the anime. some changes were done to it.

[lagos]

yeah but thats just minor details....95% of the story is the same

[shin]

yea. that's true.

i do i want to see it

[TheStreetzKing]

if it was to be made like the anime everything wouldhave been different.. i have the entire anime on dvd.. love it but the live action movie.. great if u dont watch the anime first and dont intend to, its like reading a book and watching a movie.. jump to the movie miss sooo much stuff.. read the book then watch the movie.. realize it was so badly filmed.. its always that way

[lagos]

well, they kind of have to cram all the basic plot into one film to make it work as a movie. so no matter what, they have to leave some stuff out that is in the anime. but over all i thought the races were all very very well filmed. its a million times better then the racing scenes we have from ameican hollywood movies.

btw, i know at one point, they had a gt4 in initial d. anyone know if that was in the anime or only in the books? if it was in the amime, what episode was it, cause i dont remember seeing it.

[TheStreetzKing]

yea in the anime with mickey (mogis bf) was drving on akagi in the snow.. i think second stage, and yea ur right they cram everythingbut overal the scenes filmed were INSANE lol drifting was greatt

[lagos]

so you are saying on of the 2nd stage episodes of the animet does have a gt4 in it? ... anyone know the specific episode?

SPOILER ALERT!

Third Stage (the movie) have a GT4 driving around Lake Akina (right before christmas.. It's snow all around) with Takumis girlfriend in the passanger seat. She just got "kidnapped" sorta by the son (Mickey or something like that) of the old guy she is payed to date earlier in the anime. She calls home for Takumi to come and rescue her and after a while he shows up. Mickey is mad because earlier when his dad was paying for Mogi (that's the name of Takumis girlfriend) to date him his son could do whatever he wanted to her.. Atleast that's what Mickey say to Mogi when they are driving around. But she doesn't want to be apart of that crap anymore since she is in love with Takumi.

Takumi shows up and Mickey tries to run away from his "ancient car".. He doesn't manage of course, and gets all shook up when he finds out. Then he does some sort of mistake in one turn and crashes the GT4 Mogi gets out and runs for Takumi who stopped right next to them.

EDIT: Mickey is also a senior at Takumis school, and one of the main players on the schools fotball team. Early in the anime you can see Takumi punching Mickey in the face because he is talking down on Mogi in the locker room. This might also be one of the reasons Mickey is all upset about Mogi and Takumi being together.
