Wissenswertes
In the original cut of the film, in the scene after the car chase where he forces him to go and kill Gou Fei, Judge also tells Sam to bring him Gou Fei's eyes as proof of his death. Sam can't kill Gou Fei, so he cuts the eyes out of one of the bodies of the family in the house. Judge takes the eyes and eats them. This was also a payoff of the scene from earlier in the movie where Judge compliments Gou Fei's "pretty eyes" when they first meet. If you watch Sam in the normal versions of the film, as he comes out of the house you can see his right hand is clenched and holding something - the eyes, of course.

Patzer
During the nightclub shootout, Jeff's gun changes between a 9mm Beretta to a Smith & Wesson .45ACP and back again between shots.

Zitate
Judge: You are so heartless! Although I never got to live with you, at least I can die with you!
Jeff: Then you can jack off in Hell!

Alternative Versionen
The BBFC cut 34 seconds for its cinema and video release. Notable scenes include Gou Fei playing with his butterfly knife, Gou Fei cutting someone's wrist, Judge cutting Gou Fei's hand and Lau Ngang masturbating.

A hungry, nasty roller-coaster of an action film...

I just can't say enough about Full Contact...the film is your typical Hong Kong revenge play, set against a backdrop of low-rent gangsters and seedy relationships. But it's the little things that really set this film apart: Ringo Lam is one of the few HK directors who has a decent grasp on how to use music in his films, not being as obsessed with Canto-pop inanities as his contemporaries; the body count is much lower than the typical bullets-n-bloodshed HK gangster film, thus giving each action scene an edge above other movies that end up reducing the impact of each death by trivializing them; Simon Yam's "viper queen" is a truly...different...kind of villain, one who makes you laugh while you're hoping he dies; the bit characters are better realized...I could go on and on.

In short, Full Contact is a real shock to the action fan's system: it has a visceral quality that so many action movies try for and miss. Ringo Lam's work is not for everybody, but if you're looking for the true edge of HK cinema (keep in mind that movie-goers in Honk Kong didn't like this film, as it was considered TOO dark and nasty by an audience used to this sort of thing, and not a soft, Western audience), here it is. Full Contact is the perfect English title for this brutal trip.
