synopsis
The title of this Hong-Kong film is a little deceiving. It is actually more of a biker-action film with a hint of romance targeted for adolescent audiences. Frank is an angry young-man on a motorcycle. His girlfriend and total opposite is Celia, a mainlander trying to earn enough money to defend her brother, a political prisoner. Her chosen profession is prostitution. She came to Frank after encountering problems with both the police and gangsters. While the mobsters continue their pursuit of Celia, Frank enters a motorcycle race to try to win the cash prize that will help Celia out. He is helped by a worker at the track. One of the pursuing policemen also tries to help, but he is too late. Blood is spilled.
