The Legend of Speed

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining
Review: Ekin Cheng, (Chinese pop sensation), stars as Sky a spoiled 20-something whose wealth, and parental neglect have left him speeding out of control. Instead of love, his parents buy him cars, and Ekin does his best to live up to the rep as the city's baddest boy on the block. When an old rival is released from prison, and a tragic accident occurs, Sky is forced to confront his own shortcomings. (None the least of which is his own superficiality). Can Sky defeat his enemy and regain his title? Or is he destined to be a has-been?

Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not a big 'car' fan, I don't know a Mitsubishi from a Mazda, nor do I particularly care for the irresponsible 'sport' of street racing... But Ekin makes it all worthwhile as the handsome lead in this shallow HK classic. While I could've wished for a lot more character development, and a little more remorse for some of his actions (such as the deaths which Sky inadvertently causes due to his racing), Legend of Speed delivers big time in other areas, especially as an action flick. I recommend this for fans of Ekin's who don't mind a shallow and at times remorseless protagonist.

Summary: Lau and Cheng do it again!!!!!!
Review: I have enjoyed every collaboration between Director ANDREW LAU and Actor EKIN CHENG. Every single time they come out with a new movie it is extremely entertaining. I have enjoyed Lau and Cheng's past films: Young and Dangerous 1-6, The Storm Riders, A Man Called Hero, The Duel, Mean Street Story, and Born to Be Kings. OK, about the movie... if you like cars, bikes, and speed, than I highly recommend you try this one out. I picked it up, not expecting much and was completley compelled by the story and races. Their is a large amount of adrenaline pumping through this movie, but also great seens between Cheng's character, SKY and his father, BLACK TONE, whom also was a dare devil in his time. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Summary: Yeah right, aint no where near Fast and Furious
Review: I like car films and this is a good racing film, not brilliant. The people who have said that this film is better then Fast and Furious, well they are entitled to their opinion, but may be they have a soft spot from HK flicks bcz in my opinion, Fast and Furious is the daddy.

This film is about SKY, a spoilt brat who loves himself and thinks he can beat anyone in a race. Due to an accident during a race, his girlfriend dies and he goes away and meets his long lost father, this is where the film gets good, the camera shots and acting are of a higher caliber for some reason. His father advises him and schools him to enhance his driving/riding abilities. He then heads back to HK from Thailand.

He prepares for a showdown with Hung, a street racer who was king of the street before he went to prision and then SKY took over. Their 1st race ended with the accident and their 2nd race was breath taking, again not Fast and Furious level but still fun to watch. SKY is more mature while hung feels invincible again.

For me as a car fanatic, I watched this movie mainly bcz of MITSUBISI vs SUBARU. Sky in the EVO and Hung in the WRX. These are top cars, probably the best 2 affordable sports cars in the world, great stuff.

Review: i love asian films, so i rented this with very high hopes after the reviews i'd read, i was so dissapointed. its just not that good of a film, i can't understand the high star ratings some give it. as far as being compared to F&F, well, imo this flick doesn't come close. its just so bad, he looses his girl and never really seems upset by it. oh yea, breaking limbs if you loose a race? kinda silly. and the stupidist thing is a guy goes to attack the star of the flick with a needle that is infected with AIDs. thats just bad tasted. the only reason i gave this film 2 stars was because of the EVO and WRX. although the race scenes don't delievry the same sense of speed as F&F, it wasn't bad to watch. i recomend renting before buying.

Review: In the streets of Hong Kong, a familar sight of street racing is going on. In this fast pace movie of the Mitshubishi Lancer and the Subaru MRX, this movie a completly awesome. The fast and furious have nothing on these guys. This is truly THE LEGEND OF SPEED!!!!!!!!

Summary: Lancer Evo 5 VS Impreza WRX
Review: rich-punk kid Sky (played by Ekin Cheng) is known as a street racing god in hong kong, and he races a legendary racer Teng Fung's lil brother and wins, and for winning, he breaks teng Fungs brother's leg so he won't be able to race anymore.

Teng Fung comes back from jail later and races Sky and makes him get into an accident. Sky loses his car and his girlfriend dies in the accident(Kelly), and he also gets framed for Drug possession.

this is all im going to write about this movie because i dont want to kill it.
it's a must see for people interest in import cars. this movie is not all about racing
its also about a rich punk kid growing up to be a real man.

Lancer Evo 5 VS Impreza WRX race...one of the best racing scene i've ever seen in my life.
the first motorcycle race is also great.

Summary: great racing,emotion and revenge
Review: thats what this movie is from top to bottom.by the title and opening sequence you think its just going to be an action movie but it goes much futher. It shows a wide variety of motivations for his racing from a way to release his aggression ,to making someone look stupid to doing something he loves .its a study of sky as his life goes through some crazy turns some for the very good and others for the very worst.In the begining of the movie sky is a little rich kid punk, but by the end of the movie he learns what is important(racing and cars) and becomes a man.So in the end it shows that everything we go through is for a reason and makes us better people .
