I just started watching it and the music is just wrong..I hate to say it, but I liked the old Initial D music better. From what I heard the redubbed version sucks, but I'll you for sure when I finish watching it.
oh yeah, if any of the mods have a problem with me posting this, let me know and I'll delete it. Thanks
ok, I watched it and Itsuki (I think that's his name...Takumi's best friend) is called Iggy in the American Dubbed version and I think his voice is done by the same guy who did voices on Ninja Turtles cartoon in the late 80's or early 90's. They also replaced all the music with Rock and rap music and all the characters seem to have different names. It's actually pretty sad.
Takumi Fujiwara- What about James Van Der Beek? I don't know much about him. I just remember he's sorta blonde like Takumi. Can he can do the sleepy look?
takumi doesnt have blonde hair, unless ur color blind
Ya american version of Initial D is just plain retarted its like that for the arcade games to stupid nick names like ryosuke is names Ry and keiskue is KT and if they did the movie in english i dont think it would be good but it would be cool if it hit american theatres

Who in hollywood would you cast for the various roles in Initial D? Here's some examples for ya:
Takumi Fujiwara- What about James Van Der Beek? I don't know much about him. I just remember he's sorta blonde like Takumi. Can he can do the sleepy look?
Mogi Natsuki - Kirsten Dunst?
Takeuchi Itsuki- Jason Biggs. Tom Green is too old, unfortunately.
Ryosuke Takahashi- Billy Zane...if he has hair. Somebody else said Nicholas Cage.
Keisuke Takahashi- Hayden Christensen(sp?). The dude who was Anakin in Episode II. He can be brash at first, just like Anakin, and then get more focused later, like when he races Takeshi.
Takeshi Nakazato- Josh Hartnett. He has the whole dark look to him, like Takeshi. Dress him up in dark clothes, give him extra thick eyebrows, and there you go.
Mako Sato- Heather Graham? Claire Forlani? I dunno.
Sayuki- Drew Barrymore. I dunno about her, either. At least shes blonde.
Sudo Kyoichi- Vin Diesel. Just joking. Maybe Matt Damon if he can act tough enough. He was pretty good at it in The Bourne Identity.
Seiji Iwaki- Matt Schulze. Just Joking again. Maybe Ben Affleck. Oh wait, thats worse. Forget it.
Shoji Shingo- Rick Yune. I would say I was joking, but Yune can really do the mean look.
Iketani- Paul Walker. Gotta have someone who cant drive, right?
Kenji- Ashton Kutcher?
Bunta Fujiwara- Clint Eastwood. The emotions of a rock, and has the squinted eyes. Perfect! If hes too expensive to cast, get Steven Segal. He could use some work.hehe
Yuuichi- Jason Alexander, or Rodney Dangerfield if he isn't too old.
