Year: 1998
Classification: Foreign Film - Other

Directed:

Sonny Chiba's voice is deep and resonating, he sounds great as the evil villian, a clear derivative of Darth Vader. A box office record holder in Hong Kong, Storm Riders is a real treat.

Intrigue, smuggling, dealing, double-dealing, romance, all leavened with humourous touches throughout - what more could you ask!
