1st mizunori77 yeay we are copying, but we have made it our culture of taking halfcut and modding the car...so its a unique feature of our modding secene.
are you sure modding cars with half cuts originated from malaysia? it didn't... so there is nothing unique about what we are doing.
2nd i dont think those rempits are copying bousonkushit, but if u insist i will say that those bousonkushit copy from america those ghostriders who rode harley cause they are the 1st original motorcycle gangster..so then who copy from who?? rempits are not because of copying trend its bread by our own system. by making motorcycle cheaps and car expensive
wow... ghostriders on harleys and 1st original motorcycle gangster where the japs are just copycats. you are so knowledgeable. by the way, your statement about rempits exist because of cheap bikes is only partially correct. humans have brains, therefore they can choose, just that they chose to be rempits where they are a nuisance to society because of their own selfishness.
3rd i know the reason y the make this movie are cuz of drifitng popularity nothing wrong with that, what im saying is , there's a lot of drifting movie with the same plot..try making a new kind of movie new idea, something new dats all..im not saying its wrong, what i said is i like to see something new dats all.
you just said it. drifting is popular now. who cares if the plot is almost the same? do you think people who watch these movies care more about the plot rather than the action scenes? if the plot is good, then its a bonus. some may even watch it again. otherwise, its just another form of entertainment.
just like the recent movie 2012. end of the world. how many end of the world movies have been done? its not original anymore. the plot for 2012 was also poor compared to the older ones. did u watch it? if u did, then why are you making noise about EKLD 2 being 'not original'?
4rd of cause i know its a movie, but the 1st few poster said go watch lumba haram movie or midnight race and such, but dis movie is a about illegal race on the street..so?what makes this movie any different from those illegal mat rempits??(im not condemning the movie) i was talking about doing a movie that at least we malaysian are related to and u guys start condemning me.
are you from the censorship board? are you one of those guys who always think "OMG! this movie might corrupt the minds of the people and induce them into breaking the law!!!" we malaysians, like all other humans - HAVE BRAINS. we know what is right and what is wrong. of course, there are people who choose to break the law but are you saying that majority of the people in malaysia will imitate whatever they see in the movies?
if yes, i'd really like to see some idiot trying to imitate the storm warriors and start swinging their sword/sabre around and wait for things to explode.
5th and dude i think u are just typing without really thinking, if i was in any way hate mainstream media would i even talk about a movie that will cost millions to produce(exe: movie about cars???) i would better off talking about comedy movie..
but... but... but... you were criticizing the movie not being original and mainstream movies rarely have original plots. since you're complaining about it, it must be that you don't like it or as you said 'hate' it (i never once mentioned the word hate in my previous post). or are you the type that criticizes something but you actually like it very much? so which type are you now? and who's the one typing without thinking now?
and personally i think even if u present this movie to let say other overseas country they would think its just another drift movie and they have other better drift movie. but let say do something diff than drifting, myb how we malaysian mods car to until few hundred horse using japanese halfcut in proton car, that would be something diff and unique..
viewers from other countries will see it as a drift movie because IT IS a drift movie. people don't watch a drift movie expecting something else. i cant imagine if i go to watch a drift movie, suddenly i see leslie neilsen dressing up as paris hilton drifting doing tandem battle with serena williams dressed up as hulk hogan. i will burn the cinema.
well, if u think that a movie about japanese halfcut in a proton car can make more money than a drift movie, then you should write down all your ideas and go meet with a director. start your own production and come up with your own original movie. no one is stopping you.
and about that accident in the making of the movie, i dont think the production crew gave much thought on safety, the camera car blue satria(if i remembered correctly), have only one seats with no mirror and other safety features, and shouldnt there be an ambulance on standby, when dangerous stunt are perform?
be careful what assumptions you are making. you don't know what really happened behind the scenes. you just saw the video clip in youtube. what if someone wanted to cut budget? what if the emergency response team was slow to respond? what if they did ask for ERT to standby but the ERT malas nak layan? there are many scenarios. don't just point finger at everyone and assume they couldn't care less about the safety of others.
