Not reviewed at press time. This 1995 from Hong Kong takes as its subject matter drag racing and weaves a high-stakes story around a slew of high-octane action sequences. Director Yee (C'est la Vie, Mon Cherie) is himself an amateur race-car driver, something that ought to increase the authenticity of this action vehicle.
