Initial D (2005)

Description

From the acclaimed director of Infernal Affairs and The Stormriders, Andrew Lau, comes this live-action spectacular about the furious streetcar sport of "Drifting". Initial D raced its way to the very top of the Hong Kong's summer box office and is based on one of Japan's most popular manga. For 5 years, 18 year-old Takumi (Taiwan musical phenom Jay Chou in his big screen debut) has delivered tofu orders for his ex-racecar driving father (Anthony Wong). By night, Takumi ups the velocity and screeches his way around the dark slopes and narrow curves of the hills surrounding his home, perfecting the dangerous art of "Drifting". So fasten your seat belt and feel the adrenaline pumping full throttle as Initial D unleashes a new generation of racers...where speed alone is just not enough.
