rich-punk kid Sky (played by Ekin Cheng) is known as a street racing god in hong kong, and he races a legendary racer Teng Fung's lil brother and wins, and for winning, he breaks teng Fungs brother's leg so he won't be able to race anymore.

Teng Fung comes back from jail later and races Sky and makes him get into an accident. Sky loses his car and his girlfriend dies in the accident(Kelly), and he also gets framed for Drug possession.

this is all im going to write about this movie because i dont want to kill it.
it's a must see for people interest in import cars. this movie is not all about racing
its also about a rich punk kid growing up to be a real man.

Lancer Evo 5 VS Impreza WRX race...one of the best racing scene i've ever seen in my life.
the first motorcycle race is also great.

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?

Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not a big 'car' fan, I don't know a Mitsubishi from a Mazda, nor do I particularly care for the irresponsible 'sport' of street racing... But Ekin makes it all worthwhile as the handsome lead in this shallow HK classic. While I could've wished for a lot more character development, and a little more remorse for some of his actions (such as the deaths which Sky inadvertently causes due to his racing), Legend of Speed delivers big time in other areas, especially as an action flick. I recommend this for fans of Ekin's who don't mind a shallow and at times remorseless protagonist.

The latest collaboration of actor/singer Ekin Cheng and director Andrew Lau, "The Legend of Speed" follows "Storm Riders" and "China Hero". All great movies, this one has a much less noble protagonist, who's more difficult to sympathize with.

Basically Ekin is a street racer "God of Cars" of Hong Kong, has ups and downs- ending in a glorious final car duel with the hardened antagonist, Simon Yam.

Highly modified Lancer Evolution 5 and Mine's Impreza WRX STi, which are many guys' dream cars; racing on the setting of Princess Road in HK.

Nice soundtrack, and a great storyline considering basic plot. The lives of important characters such as Ekin's mechanic/friend, girlfriend, and father add to the drama of Ekin's seeming sudden change from punk into Luke Skywalker-esque hero.

To be fair I'll rate it 4 stars, but I've probably seen this movie a dozen times, and still love it.

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

This movie is a must see if you are into racing. The racing scenes in this movie are the best i have ever seen.

Can't say most people will be able to connect with this movie the way I have, but its a fun movie.

I bought this movie because of watching Initial D live action and loved the different approach to car films, as opposed to movies like Fast and Furious. F&F was completely fake, and lacked a decent storyline from beginning to end, where as this film is more towards developing a decent storyline mixed in with great race scenes and wonderful camera angles. The camera angles made it feel as if you were right there, up close, instead of huge far away shots. The stars were the stars in this films, instead of the cars, and it made it much more enjoyable to watch and get in to.

I have enjoyed every collaboration between Director ANDREW LAU and Actor EKIN CHENG. Every single time they come out with a new movie it is extremely entertaining. I have enjoyed Lau and Cheng's past films: Young and Dangerous 1-6, The Storm Riders, A Man Called Hero, The Duel, Mean Street Story, and Born to Be Kings. OK, about the movie... if you like cars, bikes, and speed, than I highly recommend you try this one out. I picked it up, not expecting much and was completley compelled by the story and races. Their is a large amount of adrenaline pumping through this movie, but also great seens between Cheng's character, SKY and his father, BLACK TONE, whom also was a dare devil in his time. SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

In the streets of Hong Kong, a familar sight of street racing is going on. In this fast pace movie of the Mitshubishi Lancer and the Subaru MRX, this movie a completly awesome. The fast and furious have nothing on these guys. This is truly THE LEGEND OF SPEED!!!!!!!!

thats what this movie is from top to bottom.by the title and opening sequence you think its just going to be an action movie but it goes much futher. It shows a wide variety of motivations for his racing from a way to release his aggression ,to making someone look stupid to doing something he loves .its a study of sky as his life goes through some crazy turns some for the very good and others for the very worst.In the begining of the movie sky is a little rich kid punk, but by the end of the movie he learns what is important(racing and cars) and becomes a man.So in the end it shows that everything we go through is for a reason and makes us better people .
