As “family” was becoming the world’s loudest car-movie philosophy, Hong Kong gave us a different kind of miracle: a tofu kid, perilous roads, and one battered immortal Toyota AE86. It’s 2005, and Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, fresh off Infernal Affairs, turn Shuichi Shigeno’s blockbuster racing manga into pure motorhead bliss, with pop superstar Jay Chou making his screen debut as a half-asleep teenager who has unknowingly become a drift-racing freak through years of morning runs for his father’s tofu shop. Once the local speed demons discover the prodigy, every road becomes a dueling ground. Newly restored in 4K for its 20th anniversary, Initial D remains the real deal east of Vin Diesel: fast, foolish and beautiful.
