Hashiriya ZERO 1 Street densetsu (2009)
(Street Racing ZERO 1 Street Legand)
On TubiTV, this movie is called "Midnight Drift". It's a teenage street racing movie; based on the Playstation game, "Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero". During the movie, they show a video game style map of the racing route. Other than this, the movie is pretty low tech, without the crazy computerized car crashes that you'd expect from "The Fast and the Furious" franchise. The story was pretty predictable, but it was an enjoyable movie and not a total waste of your time.
The movie starts out with a D&SC car race up in the hills. Riyiuchi is the top racer with the prestigious ZERO title. His racing fans are all there, including his fiancé, Reiko (Akina Aoshima), his sister, Aoi (Anri Sugihara) and his mechanic, Masa Tanabe (Shingo Nakagawa). There's also a young up-and-coming racer-wannabe, Kazuki (Akira Nagata) who wants to take on the ZERO.
Riyiuchi is able to see some driving talent in Kazuki, but he needs more training to take him on. I wasn't able to see the second in this series.
