3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for action, 3 stars for story, July 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Drive [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The action sequences are very good in this movie. Mark Dacascos gets to show alot more of his martial arts prowse than I have seen in previous movies. Kadeem Hardison is very good. John Pyper-Ferguson (TopDollar in the STH series) is good as a southern hired gun. Unfortunately, all action and no substantial story makes for an average action flick. The premise is intriguing enough; Toby Wong (Mark Dacascos), has an implant inside his body that increases his strength and agility, its a proto-type. He is coming to America from Hong Kong, to have it removed by a company in California that has agreed to pay him 5 million dollars. Supposenly his motivation to do this is not solely the money, but the fact that the persons that put this in him are evil. Toby is persued by a cowboy headhunter, and agents from the corupt organization that put the implant in him. Along the way, Toby picks up a hostage/cover (Kadeem Hardison), who ends up helping Toby elude capture. The company that developed the implant has come up with a new product, even more powerful than that which Toby has inside him. They send an agent with this implant out to kill Toby. Of course, there is the final showdown. Like I mentioned, the action sequences are very very good. However, Mark is given minimal dialogue, and the story, though a very interesting premise, is not developed any. We mostly are given chase scenes and fight scenes, with a little plot thrown in. Mark needs to find a role that takes advantage of his physical abilities, AND lets him act too.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARK DACASCOS ROCKS!, May 6, 2000

This review is from: Drive [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched this movie because of Mark Dacascos, he has to be one of the best Martial Arts Actor out there hes got it all, unfortunately most of his movies leaves a lot to be desired! Drive however is in the Damn Good category!

Mark plays a super soldier type running from his Bosses (the bad guys), he meets up with Kadeem (the comic relief) where the dynamic duo struggles against the nasties in this story. Yes the plot is basic but Mark more than makes up for it. I agree with Dr Morpho, Mark Dacascos would have made an excellent Neo (Keanus character, on Matrix), if only it were true!

Watch this movie, it is an excellent introduction to Mark Dacascos who should be world famous, but isnt! so enjoy his wonderful Martial Arts talent!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FIGHT SCENES ARE PERFECT!!!, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Drive [VHS] (VHS Tape)

MAN, this movie is tight. This is one example that sometimes you just have to give some movies a chance even if it doesn't seem that good before you actually watch it. The last fight scene which was between Toby Wong and the "advanced model" has to be one of the best (if not the absolute best) I've ever seen in a movie (live-action or animated). I wish I knew what it is that keeps him from being as well known as any other martial arts, action star because he's just as good as anyone else. The story is good enough and so is the acting. I just wish they would come out with a sequel to this because the ending to "Drive" had me ready for more.
