Editorial Reviews:

From the star and director of "The Storm Riders" come this turbo- charged action drama. Pop superstar Ekin Cheng is Sky, an underground drag car racer king. After winning yet another race, Sky was framed by his rival Hung (Simon Yam). On the run in Thailand, Sky hooks up with his long lost father, himself a legendary racer, who steers his son back on course for the ultimate showdown with Hung.

Summary: This movie rocks.
Comment: I bought this movie because of watching Initial D live action and loved the different approach to car films, as opposed to movies like Fast and Furious. F&F was completely fake, and lacked a decent storyline from beginning to end, where as this film is more towards developing a decent storyline mixed in with great race scenes and wonderful camera angles. The camera angles made it feel as if you were right there, up close, instead of huge far away shots. The stars were the stars in this films, instead of the cars, and it made it much more enjoyable to watch and get in to.

Summary: Better than Fast n Furious
Comment: 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

Summary: Don't be fooled
Comment: 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.

Summary: Yeah right, aint no where near Fast and Furious
Comment: 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.
