Here’s a little something for Mack ... at least it would be for Mack if his computer hadn’t gone and died on him, rendering him completely unable to see this ...
The live action adaptation of popular anime series Initial D is currently tearing up box office records in Hong Kong - apparently Jay Chou is dreamy - but despite the HK site for the film being live literally for months now I’ve never been able to see the trailer because the site is A) insanely flash heavy and B) hosted on what is quite possibly the Slowest Server Ever. I don’t know about you but I find waiting more than ten minutes just for the bloody splash screen to load up a little excessive, so I’ve just never bothered. There are direct links to the Hong Kong trailers floating around, but those are streaming only and I direct your attention to point B.
But, happily, the Japanese are here to make everything good again. The trailer is here, it’s big, it’s Quicktime and it’s downloadable. Life is good. Particularly if you like movies with Asians driving cars fast without spilling their beverages.

Thanks for the link! I stumbled upon this site while looking on the net for a downloadable version. And Yes I have been to the site in question and couldn’t stand the flash (and I have DSL). Imagine having dial-up :(

Just saw on IMDb that Initial D beat out Revenge Of The Sith, taking in $3.6 million in first 10 days while Sith took in only $2.4 million in 46 days. More here.
