Miami Vice / 2 Fast 2 Furious-Tokyo Drift

Miami Vice - starring Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx & Gong Li (yeah, the lady from China). Story was made based on the 80s TV series of Miami Vice (but no stories are linked). Both Colin and Jamie went undercover to nab drug lord operating in Miami & to investigate murders linked to the drugl ords. Wherelse Gong Li was a Chinese-Cuban wife to arms/drugs trafficker. You have to pay attention to the conversations throughout the whole show otherwise you will lose the plot. The criminals-police shoot out only occurred, where they were within 200-300m of each other, towards the end of the show. Police investigations are so shallow.
2 Fast 2 Furious-Tokyo Drift - starring Lucas Black, Shad 'Bow Wow' Gregory Moss, Nathalie Kelley, Sung Kang & Brian Tee. A US guy notorious for his bad behaviour on the road with his car has been sent to Japan to stay with his enstranged father, a military man. In Tokyo, he befriended an American guy who introduced him to underground world of drift racing. In his first race, he challenged the Drift King who has ties with the local Yakuza (not that he knew since he's new in Tokyo). His borrowed car was badly damaged and he was indebted to this car owner. He continued his friendship with this car owner who taught him about drifting at the same time. Unknowingly, he fell for the Drift King's gal. The Drift King has ties with the local Yakuza. In the end, the hero has to face off stake with the Drift King, with the loser leaving Tokyo for good.
