Initial D stars Shawn Yue and Anthony Wong lead the cast as elite traffic cops cruising the city in unmarked police cars to uphold order and justice. They are joined in the highly entertaining and engaging road actioner by Guo Xiaodong, Gordon Lam, Barbie Hsu, Michelle Ye, Josie Ho, and a fleet of powerful muscle cars.The Hong Kong police force has formed a stealth squad to deal with road crimes and speed demons. Chan Cheong (Shawn Yue) is a rookie driver of the team. The hot-headed young cop doesn't quite get along with his veteran partner Lo Fung (Anthony Wong) and, as a result, their operations often end in failure. One day, while on duty, Cheong encounters the triad's legendary getaway driver Jiang Xin (Guo Xiaodong) and manages to arrest him with surprising ease. Turns out it's all in Xin's plan - he got himself jailed in order to break out of it along with his convicted associate. Though the police chase after them in full force, Xin eventually gets away with his superior driving skills...Hong Kong Version DVD comes with special features including trailer, making-of, and behind-the-scenes.
