Hong Kong Film Festival: "Full Throttle"

Image
Included in the Freer|Sackler’s first Made in Hong Kong Film Festival in 1996, this fast-paced action movie stars Andy Lau as Joe, who rides his motorcycle in illegal street races. Joe befriends a professional racer sponsored by his estranged father, which spurs a familial rivalry with high-speed stakes.
 
LoveHKfilm.com praises this classic as an “entertaining action drama … that's well produced and involving, with great visuals and superior atmosphere.” Film print supplied by the Hong Kong Film Archive, Leisure and Cultural Services Department. (Dir.: Derek Yee, Hong Kong, 108 min., 35mm, Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles)
