I can't even begin to describe the sicky feeling I have after watching this movie. It should be worth starting by saying I wasn't even able to watch the whole movie in one go. I really don't know what kind of masochistic thought made me watch the rest of it in the first place.
Sometimes I wish we could use negative ratings. This film is an insult to anyone interested in martial arts movies. Apart from the fact that most fighting scenes were visibly sped up, the last half hour doesn't even have any kung fu. The choreography was good and clearly the actors knew what they were doing. If they would have ditched the fast-forwarding and added more fighting scenes it would have been a lot better.
And this brings me to the story... *sigh* This "movie" tried so hard to be a movie it inexorably turned into an epic fail. The characters have no depth and give no reason for what they are doing. They don't seem to be driven by any moral principles but they have philosophical dialog that is seemingly unrelated to the romantic-cheesy-dramatic plot.
Fatal Contact is nothing more than a fatal blow to anyone's intellect.
I never thought I'd say it, but now I wanna watch a Hollywood movie.
