Jimmy Lin starred in SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) and served as its racing consultant.  In one scene he drove a truck to the raceway when he was intercepted and thugs beat him up.  He successfully shook them off and with Han Jae-Suk drove the race car to the raceway just in time.  Jimmy Lin personally performed the stunt and drove fast on the highway.

Director Jingle Ma Chor Sing pointed out that Jimmy Lin was so fast that he almost could not capture him on film.  Jimmy Lin had the last say on racing technique but he and the director still had discussions.  He had more sentimental considerations.  Jimmy Lin joked that he as a professional driver was under the guidance of the director who did not have a driver's license!

The Jingle Ma Chor Sing directed inspirational women's racing film SPEED ANGELS (GIK CHOOK TIN SI) will open in Hong Kong on January 5th.  Tang Wei in the film had a touching romance with racing coach Han Jae-Suk.  Tang Wei in the film played a taxi driver who the Han Jae-Suk discovered racing coach discovered and recruited into the Chinese racing team.  Tang Wei in the opening already had a very exciting car chase that she had to demonstrate drifting in.  Racing coach Jimmy Lin said that Tang Wei was truly a ferocious driver.  When she ran into any obstacle, she stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake -- a response of a professional driver's potential.  Tang Wei pointed out that the character was like her when she was little.

In the story Han Jae-Suk trained Tang Wei into a professional driver, they grew closer but Han Jae-Suk promised "a coach could not fall in love with a driver".  Tang Wei was anxious and ran into a truck.  Han Jae-Suk rushed to the scene and took her to the hospital.  Despite of injury Tang Wei still competed.  Director Ma Chor Sing hoped that the audience would become Tang Wei and for everyone to see how she raced from last place.  In the past year, everyone had stress, laughter and tears.  He made this film for viewers to have fun and speed into the new year.
