Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo
Release Date: June 16, 2006
Studio: Universal Pictures
Director: Justin Lin
Screenwriter: Chris Morgan
Starring: Unknown (for now)
"Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo" is written by Chris Morgan ("Cellular"), who places the third entry in Tokyo: in this adrenalized new story, set in the sexy, underground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest customized rides go head-to-head on some of the most perilous courses ever seen.
"Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo" follows the story of Shaun Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo.
In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks.
For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.

Any guy who doesn't like Fast cars fizzing by and Vin Diesel is a homo (I know how ironic that sounds, but whatever, you're wrong)
Fast cars in Japan?
Excellent.

sane ?
Fast cars whizzing by usually means a film made up of action sequences squeezed together to form a plot so thin it has holes in, populated by cardboard cut-out characters
If you really have a desire to see "Fast cars whizzing by" I suggest you flick on the tv and watch a Grandprix, the entertainment value eclipses that of "Fast and Furious"
Vin Diesel is yet another "OMG what a hunk" actor who doesn't have a scrap of talent and is awful without needing to resort to calling him a homo
The Fast and Furious maybe "mainstream", as you called it, but just because it is doesn't mean everyone should pretend to like it. I agree people shouldn't go too far the other way and obsess over "being different", but there's a limit to the 'mainstream' films I can take when a film's all about SFX, car chases and perhaps women in bikinis (I mean, only in bikinis :() You know something, somewhere, has gone horribly wrong when this is the best option at the Movies
