Drive (1997)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re taking a ride back to the 90s with Drive (1997). Don’t confuse it with the 2011 film—this one stars Mark Dacascos as Toby Wong, a prototype enhanced human on the run from Chinese hitmen. Along the way, he teams up with a dreadlocked bystander played by Kadeem Hardison. Directed by Steve Wang (Guyver 2: Dark Hero), Drive blends American and Hong Kong action styles into a fast-paced, quirky adventure. While it might not have the name recognition of its 2011 counterpart, this movie is a treat for action fans who appreciate energetic fight scenes and offbeat humour. We dig into the film’s standout moments, including the over-the-top fight sequences, Brittany Murphy’s quirky side character, and the entertaining, Hong Kong-inspired villains. Despite being a straight-to-video release, Drive knows exactly what it is: a fun, silly action flick that’s hard not to enjoy. If you’re in the mood for a 90s throwback with a Hong Kong twist, this one’s worth a watch. Let us know what you think, and as always, keep cruising with us!
