As you might know is Tau man ji D the real life version of Initial D 3rd stage, or at least the story line is very similar. I personally think that with the cast of Infernal Affairs it has really become a cool movie which absolutely does justice to the anime series. The story, especially the ending, might be a bit different from the anime, but the car action is impressive yet not overdone (like in Tokio Drift).

I personally place this movie in my top 10 of it's genre, because of the great acting, great driving and nice, even a bit surprising story. What's your opinion?

Are you talking about Live Stage GoldenApe? I found it okay but failed to inspire, partly because it featured HK cast and was in Chinese when Initial D is set in Japan. Apart from that I found it nothing good or bad, it was "okay" but a really cheap attempt of a Live Stage.

To the Initial D cultist, Initial D Fanclub and Initial D purist, they really hate it for screwing up the battles, character, cars and story. Being set in Japan but spoken in Chinese with Chinese cast was icing on the cake.

Well I got to admit I never really care about those language issues, although I think -especially after watching the movie again last week- it's a bit stupid that all names get messed up in Chinese (Takumi, etc. all get pronounced way different).
I still like the movie though. It might not be the best movie around and it might not totally fit in the Initial D culture because of the actors and stuff, but it's still a proper acted and 'sit-back-and-relax' movie. In my opinion that is.
