4.0 out of 5 starsThis one goes up to eleven
By Quackser on 8 Jan. 2010
Format: DVD
A gonzo high point of the Hong Kong gangster genre. A gang of good bad guys joins forces with a gang of bad bad guys. The bad bad guys betray the good bad guys and the spiral of revenge kicks off. Oh, and the leader of the bad bad guys (Simon Yam) openly and lasciviously fancies the pants off the leader of the good bad guys (Chow Yn Fat).

In the late eighties and early nineties, the better directors of Hong Kong action movies began to be feted internationally. The likes of John Woo and this film's director, Ringo Lam, suddenly found themselves lauded as pulp visionaries and, for a brief time, because their films made money, were allowed to make whatever the heck they liked.

"Full Contact" really is some kind of apotheosis of the Asian gangster movie. All the "types" are here: the murderous nymphomaniac; the homicidal brute; the gay psycho; the gangster who's only doing it to pay for his mother's funeral; the killer with a conscience; the "good" girl. The film knowingly and mischievously plays with these staples of the genre. It offers everything a (ahem) straight action movie would: the vicarious enjoyment of mayhem and lawlessness; a good wallow in a demented teenager's idea of "cool". But it also rips open these elements and reveals the sometimes downright crazy impulses actually motivating them. Alas, the movie wasn't really a success, and these days Ringo Lam is better known for making straight-to-DVD Jean Claude Van Damme no-brainers.

Although made in 1992, this is a two-headed mutant of an eighties movie, as if made by a giddy kid out of his mind on Duran Duran videos and Buckfast Tonic Wine; someone to whom Russell Mulcahy is some kind of deity. There's nothing quite like it.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery underrated movie - please watch
By Goorney on 20 Feb. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Full Contact is one of the best films to ever come from the Hong Kong cinema studios since a Better Tomorrow. It is a highly entertaining film from start to finish. Starring Chow Yun-Fat as an anti hero Gou Fei, who joins forces with Judge played by Simon Yam a charismatic villain to rob a security van. Unbeknown to him Gou Gei is double crossed and left fighting for his life.

The movie is stylishly shot and the action scenes are brutally realistic. The main characters - the antihero, a gay psychopath leader, a nymphomaniac and a beefed up psycho are very OTT cartoon like and are utterly engrossing to watch. Its a shame when they meet there justice.

Please please watch this underrated movie, you will want to see again and again.

2.0 out of 5 starsSeriously Flawed Transfer
By Robert Cyr on 22 Mar. 2005
Format: DVD
The Chinese track is lacking the musical background, although it is present in the English dubbed track. It's a shame really since the visual transfer is quite good. But lacking the background music, the movie is only marginally as effective as the earlier Tai-Seng version. Wait for Hong Kong Legends to correct this flaw.

5.0 out of 5 starsA full on action movie.
By madmonty12345 on 20 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Chow Yan Fat regarded this movie as the best he was in during his Hong Kong studio's phase. It's a tough brutal action movie with all the Hong Kong style I love. Tony Leung plays his role as the psychopathic camp killer with true relish, which is juxtaposed perfectly by Chow Yan Fat, who is never better as the desperate and flawed hero, caught in a web of gangster crime trying to fight his way out and escape with his girlfriend.

It's a taut thriller from start to finish, virtually a scene never wasted and the whole cast is excellent. I rate it as highly as John Woo's classic Hard Boiled so nuff said.
