Good one, thanks dave

pity its not subtitled.... I think there is an arcade game based off that movie, because there is one which is mountain racing in Japan, and there is a Blue S30 you see all through the demo loop, which is referred to in the game as the Devil Zed.

I want to download this but having trouble with my d/l manager at the moment. I'm wondering what codec it uses?

[Zeddophile]

divx i believe. wouldn't run in media player, but runs in divx player

Yeah there are a few games based on the Wangan Midnight comics/cartoons.

 

Theres a Wangan Midnight game for the PS2, and there are the Initial D arcade games that feature the same wangan midnight 240z.

 

And for those that dont know I believe that Wangan means bayside or oceanside. I think theres a long stretch of road or bridge that runs along a bay somewhere in Japan. Something to do with street racers racing along the road at night. somthing like that.

 

Is this a anime move, or real actors? I read somewher about a movie being made, but the car they used was a 260Z instrad of a 240Z like in the anime.

 

 

Wish I still had broadband. Got my bro DL'ing it for me.

 

Now we just need some fansubs to subtitle it for us.

P.S.

 

Heres the video that I think comes from the playstation game. Think its the intro or something.

This is a real actors movie, but from what I can find on the net, it precedes the manga? at the end, the footage of the actors at the premiere is timestamped '92, the manga apparently started in '93?

[Mr Camouflage]

Watched it.

 

Recognised the word "blackbird" (thats what they called the porsche), and a couple of japanese phrases here and there.

 

I believe it originally started as a comic book back in the 80's.

It was a funny movie alright lol.. gotta love the Japanese fill in music.

 

I love the tripple webers and turbo combo what a beast lol.

[Mr Camouflage]

Maybe i wasnt paying enough attention, but i didnt notice any turbos.

 

Might have to watch it again.

 

I've wached the daytime drive part a few times.
