Screening location: Northwest Film Forum – 1515 12th Ave, Seattle
Chow Yun-Fat (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) steps into the most gleefully tasteless shoot-em-up of his storied career. Queer arms dealers, fields of exploding automobiles, harsh neon greens and blues, madness with butterfly knives, biker punk chic, ripping donuts on motorbikes and heaping helpings of horniess. The ultimate ‘90s Hong Kong action sleazefest by bullet balletmaster Ringo Lam (CITY ON FIRE, PRISON ON FIRE).
In Cantonese with English subtitles.
Special live intro from local Hong Kong genre film connoisseur and one of the programmers of the Seattle Film Society, Patrick McFarland.
“With Full Contact, Lam takes the action genre and proceeds to not merely transcend it but explode it.” Beth Accomando, KPBS.org
“Fast, fierce and gleefully tasteless…” Dennis Harvey, Variety
