Drive: Director's Cut (1997)

Steve Wang mixes genres, creating a kind of buddy, road movie with laughs, action, sci-fi ideas and martial arts action. The latter is better than average for an English language film because it had an actual Asian choreographer and Mark Dacascos has got the skills. He’s also got an enhanced body that elevates his abilities, meaning there’s some justification for the OTT stunts.
The Dir. Cut (112 mins) adds extra minutes and reinstates the original score, booting that awful techno crap of the Theatrical Cut out the door.
