Better than Fast n Furious.......2004-07-07

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

Don't be fooled.......2004-06-09

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.

Yeah right, aint no where near Fast and Furious.......2004-02-16

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.

The best.......2003-04-18

Entertaining.......2003-04-12

Ekin Cheng, (Chinese pop sensation), stars as Sky a spoiled 20-something whose wealth, and parental neglect have left him speeding out of control. Instead of love, his parents buy him cars, and Ekin does his best to live up to the rep as the city's baddest boy on the block. When an old rival is released from prison, and a tragic accident occurs, Sky is forced to confront his own shortcomings. (None the least of which is his own superficiality). Can Sky defeat his enemy and regain his title? Or is he destined to be a has-been?

too much critics, not enough MH.......2006-08-28

The vid clips are almost all available on "the best of MH" in their entirety. Here they are snipped to bits spliced in with the uninteresting comments of a handful of critics of no particular reknown. almost no interviews with the band.
