About the Show

FULL CONTACT

Presented by The Hong Kong Cinema Club

"Up until this point in Chow Yun-Fat’s career, he was predominantly associated with his smooth, sophisticated, sunglass-wearing persona from ‘A Better Tomorrow’. However, that all changed for this 1992 Ringo Lam action flick which saw Yun-Fat straddle a Harley and ditch his guns (well, most of them) in favour of a knife.

Jeff (Chow Yun-Fat) is a nightclub bouncer who is hard up for cash. When his friend Sam (Anthony Wong) informs him that his cousin is going to be responsible for an arms raid, he decides that this will be a quick way to make money. Judge (Simon Yam) is the rather feminine leader of the gang and he immediately takes a shine to Jeff. However, money must always come first and Judge betrays Jeff, leaving him for dead on the roadside. Unsurprisingly, Jeff is a little bit peeved about this and decides to reap his bloody revenge on those responsible for the double-cross.

Full Contact is a true action classic that boasts strong leading performances, inventive direction and mind-blowing fight scenes."
