Initial D - the movie

I just saw the movie Initial D with my current-fave-love-to-see-onscreen singer/actor Jay Chou (TW hottie) and I loooooved it. It had everything - great soundtrack, action, suspense, thrills, romance, surprise, disappointment, comedy and drama. Funnily enough, it also had most of the cast of Infernal Affairs (classic HK movie - if you haven't already see it, you must see at least part 1 and the sequel) in it such as Edison Chan (HKie heartthrob!).

Yes, I do sound like a lovesick school girl - but it is one of the few times ever that Jay actually smiles and laughs and looks goofy. Usually he's got this tough-guy-i'm-so-pissed face on which looks equally good on him, but the goofy-smiling face is easier on the eyes.

The movie is about street racing - Jay plays a tofu delivery boy who races against pros and other street kids. He drives an old AE86 and goes against guys that own GTRs and EVOs. :) I'm amazed I can remember the acronyms; just don't ask me what they mean.

It is a must-see if you're a Jay Chou / street racing fan, otherwise wait for the DVD and see it on your home entertainment system.
