NO.10 "Initial D" 2005
I believe everyone must be familiar with this movie. This is Jay Chou's movie Virgo, remake from the Japanese comic "Initial D". The film is directed by Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, and is joined by powerful idols such as Anthony Wong, Apricot Suzuki (Japan), Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Jordan Chan, and Liu Genghong. With the movie soundtrack arranged by Jay Chou, it is simply wonderful. It can be seen that Jay Chou's acting skills in the film are relatively immature, but he still completed the role of Takumi well and received unanimous praise from the outside world.
The film tells the story of Takumi who transported tofu every day instead of his father and accidentally grew up to be a "drifting" master and defeated racing experts such as Zhong Liyi and Sudo Kyoi. At this time, Takumi's love was in crisis. Finally Takumi decided to join the racing team and start a life of a real racer.
In the video, Takumi drove the AE86 is a model launched by Toyota between 1983 and 1987. It uses front-mounted rear-wheel drive, has a small horsepower, excellent body balance, a 50:50 counterweight ratio, and a lightweight body. The original AE86 is only 925 kilograms, and some modified AE86s weigh only more than 800 kilograms! It is also because of these characteristics that determine the special status of AE86 in some special competitions, such as the downhill race and drift race. AE86 in Japan is still one of the popular types of drift races.

He has great driving skills and often drives his own modified taxi through the streets of Paris. He can be said to be from heaven to earth and can do everything. My good friend Amyrian is a policeman, but he knows nothing about cars and doesn't even have a driver's license. Daniel began to help Amyrian chase criminals frequently, and the two of them made jokes and kept making jokes! All four films have Daniel and the police teamed up to capture criminals as the main line. "Taxi Express 1" won the 1998 French box office championship.
In the first three videos, the protagonist's car is all Peugeot 406, and the fourth part is replaced with Peugeot 407. In addition to the protagonist's car, the police's car in the film is also all Peugeot, and a small number of Renaults are also seen. Daniel's taxi has been exaggeratedly modified, with an exaggerated encirclement of the entire car, a flipped license plate, a bulletproof vehicle, and even a wing that can extend from the bottom of the car to help Daniel speed.

MINI Cooper, with a smaller figure and extraordinary handling performance, is the only car of the protagonists in this film. During the entire filming period, the crew used a total of 32 MINI Coopers.

NO.3 "Speed Wind" 2013
"Speed Wind" is adapted from real characters and events, telling the story of Austrian racer Nicky Lauda and British racer James Hunter competing against each other on the F1 track in the 1970s.
The two have completely different styles. James is crazy and lucky, hooking up with beauties everywhere. Nicki is completely different. He is very rigorous in racing and often studies racing and driving skills day and night. Through the description of a large number of racing scenes, the film brings more sensory stimulation to the audience while truly restoring history, and maximizes the struggle, competition, confrontation and friendship between the two talented racers James Hunter and Nicky Lauda.
1976, the two had similar grades and the competition became increasingly fierce. The race at the Nürburgring was a turning point, with Nicky opposing driving in heavy rain, deeming it too dangerous. James believes this is Nicky's plan to maintain the lead and incite other racers to demand continued racing. As a result, Nicky had an unexpected game and was trapped in a car that had become a fireball for two minutes. Because the track was too dangerous, after this race in 1976, the Nürburgring North Ring was no longer used as an F1 venue.
In the film, the actor is not driving a real Formula One racing car, but a Formula Three racing car, but the body is disguised and replaced with the appearance of F1.
NO.2 "Speed 60 Seconds" 2000
Memphis (Nicholas Cage) is the world's most wise car theft thief. People describe him as "gone in 60 seconds", that is, as long as the car he is eyeing is parked here, he can disappear without a trace with the person and the car in 60 seconds. After all, Memphis was tired of the thrilling but heavy life of the car theft thief, and announced that he had washed his hands. But his younger brother wanted to follow in the footsteps, but he was soon involved in a dangerous gangster deal. In order to rescue his brother, Memphis had to return to his old career and promised the gang to steal 50 luxury cars within one night.
In order to confuse the police on the radio, Memphis named all the names of these 50 cars by girls, which also indirectly implies the meaning of cars to men. The whole film is like an old car harvester, and precious models of all ages have been swept away by Memphis. The last of the 50 cars is the 1967 Mustang GT500, codenamed "Ilena". "Ilena" is the finale, the hero's last stolen task and the most difficult to tame. The film shows the explosive power and difficult-to-control characteristics of the first generation of Mustang. The police chase Memphis with GT500 driving is the last highlight of the film. The scene is grand and very exciting.
In addition, in addition to Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie also joined the film. The two were in the same year, and the handsome man and beautiful woman gave the film a lot of points.
NO.1 "Fast and Furious" series
Haha, I won't say much about this~
But the following few movies have become more and more exaggerated, not as pure as the first few movies! But it's still very exciting.
However, I would like to remind you of a movie viewing guide: 8 works, the order of viewing should be 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7, 8, and the third part should be separated from the separation, which is equivalent to a biography, mainly telling Han's story in the side.
