Rating: 4 stars
Summary: cars...
Review: The latest collaboration of actor/singer Ekin Cheng and director Andrew Lau, "The Legend of Speed" follows "Storm Riders" and "China Hero". All great movies, this one has a much less noble protagonist, who's more difficult to sympathize with.

Basically Ekin is a street racer "God of Cars" of Hong Kong, has ups and downs- ending in a glorious final car duel with the hardened antagonist, Simon Yam.

Highly modified Lancer Evolution 5 and Mine's Impreza WRX STi, which are many guys' dream cars; racing on the setting of Princess Road in HK.

Nice soundtrack, and a great storyline considering basic plot. The lives of important characters such as Ekin's mechanic/friend, girlfriend, and father add to the drama of Ekin's seeming sudden change from punk into Luke Skywalker-esque hero.

To be fair I'll rate it 4 stars, but I've probably seen this movie a dozen times, and still love it.

Summary: Better than Fast n Furious
Review: This is way better the only reason fast n furious could be considered better is because of all the visual candy they give you in the movie. Atleast in The Legend of Speed we have a solid plot to enjoy while watching racing and it does have it's funny moments especially Sky's dad. N e ways give this movie a bigger budget and then I bet you wouldn't think F&F was better then this movie

Rating: 5 stars
