|
| Overview: | Full Contact opens with the villains; Flamboyantly gay amateur magician and pyschopathic criminal Judge (Simon Yam) leads a bloody robbery of an antique shop in Thailand with psycho-slut Virgin (Bonnie Fu) and Road Warrior reject Deano (Frankie Chin). Cut next to Mona (Ann Bridgewater) stripping in a seedy nightclub while power-rock blares. Mona's husband Jeff, a fellow club employee, is called on to rescue his buddy Sam (Anthony Wong) from a local loanshark to whom Sam owes money. This act makes them both marked men, so Sam proposes a joint heist with his cousin Judge so that they can make enough money to flee the country. However, the loanshark contacts Judge and arranges to have him double-cross Jeff. The heist goes down and Jeff is left for dead in a burning house, betrayed not only by Judge but by his buddy Sam as well. Jeff survives, however, and begins the process of recuperation that will eventually lead to an explosive revenge.
