Member DiP Posted March 24, 2014 Author Member Share Posted March 24, 2014 HAHAHA, that was my exact thought before creating the thread. I'm sure they will change it after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted March 31, 2014 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2014 This movie has mercifully had its English title re-named to 'To the Fore'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted April 4, 2014 Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 Thank the Lord on that one....the original title was also the name of the dumbest spoof movie I have ever seen...and for the record, I was forced to watch the Twilight spoof and it was one of the all time lowest points in my movie watching history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted July 10, 2014 Member Share Posted July 10, 2014 Update Ethan Ruan had to drop out of the film due to a torn knee ligament. He injured his knee before and is forced to take two months off then rehab for another two months with no extensive exercise. Dante Lam is currently searching for Ruan's replacement.

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted December 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2014 & the award for the most uninspiringly dull trailer goes too - tEaETIMnfLc It might as well have been made from stock footage of the Tour De France.

Member DiP Posted December 29, 2014 Author Member Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah, saw this a while back. Gonna wait for Lam's next crime film instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kami Posted December 29, 2014 Member Share Posted December 29, 2014 Is Dante Lam fucking kidding us? Who wants to watch that? And whats with the ominous music in the trailer? Sounds like the soundtrack to a prophecy made in ancient times. Totally fitting for a film about cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member FilmMomatic Posted October 4, 2015 Member Share Posted October 4, 2015 I thought this movie was a piece of shit. A HUGE let down from Dante Lam. And that's saying something since That Demon Within was also a letdown. The whole damn plot is a rip-off of Talladega Nights. I kid you not! The characters are boring, the story is hackneyed (how the fuck can you ride a bike if your ankle is shattered and the Achilles tendon is torn?) and the cycling races are surprisingly bad. The China funding sure as hell doesn't help, making this film predictable from beginning to end. And the added xenophobia (especially towards Koreans) and product placement just sends it down the drain. Avoid this movie at all costs. Dante Lam, you're losing it.
