| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Full Contact |
|---|
This movie (Xia dao Gao Fei) was directed by Ringo Lam in 1993. Gou Fei is a petty Chinese criminal living in Bangkok. To help his friend Sam Sei who had to borrow money to pay his mother's funeral, Gou Fei agrees to take part in a hold-up organized by Judge, the cousin of Sam Sei. Once the hold-up is carried out, Judge tries to kill Gou Fei and wounds him seriously. Gou Fei disappears and comes back a few months later to turn the tables on Judge and his gang. He attacks a storehouse belonging to Judge, steals the weapons and kills the Judge's men who looked after it. Then Gou Fei goes to Judge and asks for an enormous amount of money; in exchange, he'll give back the weapons.
