Story of Speed and Friendship
The story has elements of Gone in 60 Seconds, and Initial D at its core. Takeshi is a die hard motorcycle rider who lied to his parents about going to school so he can remain in Japan to continue riding his motorcycle. He's living to race his motorcycle on the roads of mountains in Japan with his motorcycling buddies. One day while racing against his rival Shinji he gets caught, and loses his license, bike, place to live (because his parent cut off his support), and cell phone. He has no place to go but to work as a dish washer at the local soba shop. In the garage of the soba shop he finds an old Honda Super Cub 90cc scooter. He brings it back to life, and starts using it for delivery, with his usual speed. In the mean time, Shinji is involved with the yakuza that are stealing premium motorbikes to be sold overseas. He's doing this to pay for the medical bill of his girlfriend he injured during a motorcycling accident. Takeshi challenges Shinji to a duel to the seaport where the yakuzas are waiting to load the last motorbike on to the cargoship. Prize being whoever wins will take the other's motorbike. This is a pretty cool movie that shows the culture of young motorcycle riders of Japan in much the same way Initial D did for the young car drivers of Japan. Even the part that the two main protagonists is a delivery boy is the same. But this is much more light hearted, and shows the lighter side of Japan's youth culture. The movie is produced very well and acting is also first class. This movie was much better made than the unsuccessful comic to movie translation of Wangan Midnight, and is an entertaining piece to watch.
A guilty pleasure
Sûpâkabu, aka Super Cub (2008) This is a guilty pleasure, especially if you're a scooter rider like me. I know, it's cheesy camp, along the same lines as Torque (2004) and you can tell what's going to occur long before it happens, but it's kind of fun and not a total waste of your time. Of course this has to do with the Honda Super Cub that is an under-powered 90cc motorcycle that is a favorite mode of transportation all over the world. (Possible spoiler warning) 'Hammer' Takeshi (Keita Saito) is a young illegal street motorcycle racer who gets into trouble with the police, and gets his fancy Kawasaki ZX-R 400 confiscate. Now he's grounded and is forced to pay off his bike by working in a soba noodle restaurant. While inside of a restaurant warehouse he finds a discarded Super Cub. Takeshi is told that he can ride the bike as long as it's only for delivering his noodles for his work. Takeshi repairs and soups-up (no pun intended) to be a blazing fast motorcycle. Naturally, he does all of his speeding around town carrying noodles to customers. In the meantime, his racing opponent, Shinji must pay off his debt for an accident by stealing motorcycles for one of his accident victims, Kana. Takeshi is interrogated by the police who are looking for the theft ring. Takeshi challenges Shinji to a race to get him to break away from his path of illegal activities.
