Ringo Lam's gloriously violent gunplay classic Full Contact stars three of the biggest names in Hong Kong action cinema - Chow Yun-Fat (Bulletproof Monk; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Simon Yam (Bullet In The Head; Naked Killer) and Anthony Wong (the Infernal Affairs trilogy) - in a bloody tale of betrayal and revenge. Digitally restored and remastered, this new Hong Kong Legends Special Collector's Edition DVD of Full Contact comes packed with a host of extra features including an exclusive interview with star Simon Yam.

When his friend, Sam (Anthony Wong), find himself deep in debt to a deadly triad boss and loan shark, Bangkok nightclub bouncer Jeff (Chow Yun-Fat) grudgingly agrees to help him out. The pair team up with a ruthless gang leader, Judge (Simon Yam), and set about pulling off a daring arms heist. But when the job goes wrong, Judge manages to convince Sam to betray his friend in order to aid their escape. Left for dead by his so-called partners, Jeff plots his revenge, an act guaranteed to result in explosive consequences.

Ringo Lam's incredible action direction and excellent performances from the three stars Full Contact one of the finest examples of Hong Kong's "heroic bloodshed" sub-genre. Packed with exceptionally stylish action set pieces, the film is perhaps best remembered for its notorious, breathtaking "bullet-cam" sequence during a nightclub shootout.

Full Contact will be released on DVD by Hong Kong Legends on 30th August 2004.
