One of the classics of nineties Hong Kong Cinema, the action drama Full Throttle stars Andy Lau as a motorcycle racer who tears up the streets of Hong Kong. Despite the worries of his girlfriend (Gigi Leung in her film debut), he cant walk away from the game, & its only a matter of time before the dangerous life of illegal street racing takes its toll. Himself an amateur motorcar racer, writer-director Derek Yee ( Shinjuku Incident) balances commercial filmmaking with well-written characters & great visuals for an entertaining time at the movies. Full Throttle received 10 nominations at the Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, & Best Actor.
