Yep, it works! Looks very nice!
I've read on anime news network that in hong kong ID live action is more popular than the new starwars movie! How cool is that??? ;D

I think it would be cool if the IDLA wasnt so horrid.Why couldnt they have just stuckw ith the real story.
The planet weaves a cruel fate for men... Children are always the first to suffer... Geostigma,Genova,Reunion... Children who have lost hope... Respite for the Soul... And so he takes sword in hand once again...

Seriously, there was absolutely no way they could've incorporated the entire anime into 2 hrs so i'm guessing that the movie is merely based on the anime? Watched the movie in the theatres (i understand chinese) and it isn't all that bad if you ignore the difference in plot/character etc. In fact... i quite liked the movie (its funnier than the anime... less serious... guessing that's why they turned Bunta into a drunk...)

I found a dvd screener of the movie. It's in mandarin and has english subs. The subs aren't that good though.

oh yeah, that torrent works. So do the other two that are on isohunt. The difference is that they don't come with a backdoored ftp client... But  thanx, and yes the other two both have english subs. I thought the live action was murder to the original plot. The ending made me sick.

just copy the *.srt file in the same directory as the avi. then activate it in the video menu. you won't need the other files.
but the sub is really bad. nowhere near a L-E sub.
anyhow the movie is a real disillusion. I wouldn't mind the changed story, but some details suck, such as Itsuki (or his counterpart in the movie) is in fact driving the same car as takumi, just with a different sticker.
I'd say they had the opportunity to make a great movie, but blew it >:(

Well, I watched this movie in Hong Kong and that version had English and Chinese subtitles.  I guess you have to pick up the Hong Kong DVD when it comes out for GOOD and ACCURATE english subtitles.   The real dialogue is in cantonese, not mandarin.

alright guys.  I've seen the IDLA movie in hong kong about a few days after it came out.  I can verify what kanseidrifter said about it having chinese and english subtitles and the original dialogue in Cantonese not Mandarin.  But like most movies, they are normally not as good as what they are based on i.e. books or in this case a tv series.

p.s. - the subs were quite good.

The fact the official DVD has english subtitles means we will NOT be subbing the ID live action movie. Please support the film makers by buying the official DVD.

Anyhow...it's only $13.49 from YesAsia so if you're a big Initial D fan and don't wanna spend the cash for something that cheap well......:/

LE don't subbed it......! Why? cuz the Initial D Live Action is sucks to me >:(. I didn't watch it yet but, I'v seen their website, read the preview and heard from other ID fans, and the storyline is different from mangas and animes. So it's not INITIAL D for me....! It's a something weird movie using the INITIAL D title to popular the actor/actress.

Maybe HK movie director don't have any idea for their new movie, so they take the name of INITIAL D and change a little storyline (for them a little matter, for me it's a big matter) then released it. Maybe they changed the storyline cuz they don't wanna get sued from Shuichi Shigeno? It's seems like they butchered the INITIAL D

good thing they dont need to because the *legal* hk dvd has english subtitles.  and if you did not catch it they stated this in the post immediately prior to yours.
