Given the diversity in the actors backgrounds, what language is the movie filmed in? Are there any english sub-titles?

I thought it was really inaccurate at a lot of points. Like Seiji (Evo IV) and I forgot the other emperor team member's name (with the Evo III) were never the sort to try and ram others, they were always about respecting others in a race.
Also, Nakazato never drifted in the GT-R. In fact, the whole race with him and the 86 in the anime was about him using GRIP and how he thought grip was superior to drift.
Thirdly, Ryosuke was never the type to hang around and bug Takumi and Bunta about various things - he'd always keep to himself and say or do something when the time is right. There was also never a race with 3 cars (the one involving 3 cars in the anime was because Ryosuke was the spectator in the FC), but I understand they did this due to compressing the plot in time constraints (this I believe is also why the had Takumi's engine blowing in a race at Akina, and not Akagi).
ALSO I think it was interesting that they developed that whole thing with papa and Natsuki (Anne Suzuki), it barely gets mentions and allusions here and there in the anime. Loved the Evo III's gauges, very cool and modern. Also, Jay can't seem to act for shit as many have said in this thread; he did the whole 'leaning on the arm' thing too much when driving (takumi almost never did this in the anime, instead maintaining a focus a lot of the time during a race), and doing the whole 'playing dumb and silent' thing too much, it just got old and transparent very fast.

You shouldn't compare the movie to the manga/anime, they're completely diff typez of textz, and it would be impossible to mimic every aspect of the original characterz in the movie.
But I gotta agree wit you there Jay did the leanin while drivin too much.

The dude from Young and Dangerous (not Jordan Chan, the other idiot who thought he was kingshit with cars) was hillarious.
Bit of an anticlimax with suzuki the girl...nothing really happened.
Girls that go and watch movies in Market City are hawwwwt.
EDIT: Cars and Girls are supposed to go hand in hand. WTF was with the all boy scenes???

Haha, you're trying to fit 24 eps + 12 eps + 1 full length movie into 2 hours. Remember you don't have the time to develop it over that amount. I thought it was quite a good movie for what they had, which was star driven and really could not encompass the totality of the anime/manga series.011 said:
Besides if we're at nitpicking where was keisuke? What in fuck's name was itsuki doing as the leader of the speedstars? Where was iketani sempai etc? Boo for not including the Sleighty race! (etc)
As you can see, you have to find a level playing ground to create a movie for those who have no idea of what it is, and only know of the stars, and those who know and expect things. I think they balanced it quite well.
