That doesn't have me rolling, just the fact that him being in Japan isn't happening. Last time I checked, Japan wasn't crawling with any type of foreigners, let alone, teenage, five-foot-nothing, rich, black rappers. You're not going to find Criss-cross retiring in Tokyo, going down to check out the girlies in Shibuya every Friday if you know what I mean. Japan is a bit too homogenous (over 99% to be exact) for this to even happen (but hey, you get expect the FnF audience to figure this one out.)
Also, for a Japanese movie, I certainly see anything but Japanese. I never knew everyone was Chinese, Anglo-saxon, or Korean in Japan.
But here's the interesting part: stereotypical names
Let's just take a look here:
- Collin Leonard ....
Blackie
- Bow Wow ....
Twinkie
Yes, why don't we have a Chinese guy named banana, another black guy named oreo, and a white guy named whitey, or honky tonk. This guy (the director) cannot be
that hard-pressed for names that he has to call his casted characters names such as Blackie and Twinkie-I think Bow Wow being named Twinkie might be the only truism in the whole damn movie. Sometimes I think Hollywood is really mocking us, just trying to determine how much they can retard a movie before the money doesn't roll in-certainly seems like they can create a steaming pile of crap and still be able to afford a brand new Ferrari after opening weekend.
You think with all of the bloody eye sores they would have the common decency to treat your eyes to some nice attractive J-girls. Hah! Who the hell am I kidding, this is the Fast and the Furious!! The only movie where there's more white people, black people, and Chinese than Japanese.
Here's one of the cheerleaders-an average American girl that we see everyday and never give a second glimpse to.

Now here's the part I love most: the character named Ashika Gogna-they're
REALLY testing our stupidity. How many Japanese people are named
Gogna
, or have
Ashika as a first name? How is the last name Gogna even possible in a language which has no phonetic sound for just a "g" by itself-thus, you'd never see a Japanese name with a "g" like in Go
gna.
Do they think they can really pull the wool over our eyes? That's like making a Chinese martial arts movie with a guy named Xiechow Kurpang, or a Korean movie with a guy named Kimchee Yoo-it's just utter crap, and its embarassing.
With that said, you'd think the director came straight out of some jungle in Papa New Guinea, but to top it off, he's an Asian-American director that is slapping everyone in the face with his b/s, especially Asians.
P.S
Stefanie Budiman .... Cowgirl
Since when was there cowboys/cowgirls in Japan? I thought that trend died out shortly after the settlement of the West in the US? Who woukld've known, I guess American history lied to us, or just forgot to mention the part where all of the American cowboys and cowgirls got on these giant ships named horseshit and bullshit (cough...cough...FnF 3) and moved up on to Japan, where they all settled in wooden shacks in Edo, and street raced horse and buggies with guys named Twinkie, Blackie, Sushi, Chop Suey, and Kim Chee in the backstreets at night ocassionally light fires under their horse carriages, marking the first official
underglow kits, and using logs as wings for that extra needed downforce to control that ever-uncontrollable oversteer that seems to kick in at 10mph; all officially marking the genesis of street racing-or ricing as we sane people like to call it.
Now that needs to be in our history books.
Sorry if I come off as being overly vitriolic, but mind-numbing movies like Fnf can do that you. And the MPAA really wonders why people download movies-just look at this hot, steaming pile of garbage. The reason is simple: the movies are a slap in the face to anyone with common sense. Oh well...At least this movie is loaded with unknowns, so it will probably sink at the boxoffice.
