Usually when a film has a Part III, it leaves you with, "Why did they
make a third film?" Case in point, "Smokey & The Bandit". Now I am
dating myself if that's the only film I can come up with when it comes
to trilogies. But car movies are seldomly done in trilogies. Star Wars,
The Godfather, Lord of the Rings and Back to the Future are the only
exceptions that have worked in the past because there's an on-going
story line.

Tokyo Drift was a good film. Good plot line (if you disagree, then
you're a "Too much to think" film-goer, stay with chick-flicks then).
Good action. And of course, cool cars. The fact that it strayed away
from Part I & II was a good idea. And film director, Justin Lin did an
great job getting his vision to film. The mounted camera on a
super-fast go-cart gave some spectacular shots.

It's a good escape film with the "new kid in town, gets beat up or
loses in some sort of competition, learns from a local to be better
then wins in the end." But for a trilogy film it's excellent compared
to other Part III films that have been released.
