$250 a day to sit around in your car sounds like a good gig. Please post pics of your ride!

I thought they finished production on Tokyo Drift.... is this a shoot for promo material? For ANOTHER F&F movie?
Ill kill myself if they make another after this, regardless of how many 8's are in it.

I was just thinking that it all sounds good except for that part. That's only $31/hour

I thought, they finished shooting the movie and that it'll come June 16th, 2006 world wide? Wouldn't it be a bit too late for any other shootings?

As I said before, I bet Mazda (and other car maker) promo bucks are behind the last minute scene additions. Since it seems they were looking for particular cars like the RX-8 and the movie industry has much to do with product placement these days.

Congrats Sam. I might be motivated to actually see it now. As long as Lil Bow Wow isn't the one driving your car. Then I'd have to boycott.

Congrats -- I hope you get put in a good scene by yourself and not sitting next to some FWD hondas.

I'm still debating wether I should actually go and spend 8 bucks + candy to go and see this movie. I'm not expecting steller performances by any means or even a good story, but it has RX8's in it (in the promo video on their site, you can clearly see a baby blue RX8 for a second or two being driven by an asian girl. (its a right hand drive version though)

I really don't want to contribute to this movies box office numbers, but it would be something to do as im generally bored and lonely anyway. My biggest fear though is coming out of the theater and jumping into my RX8 with a bunch of n00b kids around though. They might get some kinda idea that i want to race them, because well i dunno :-p
