Review
by Kozo:
     A few surprises dot this racing drama from director Cheung Man, who used to specialize in crummy exploitation with buxom babes. This time out, his babes are a bit more sophisticated: Karen Mok and Maggie Siu. They’re the women in the life of “Racing God” Fred Wong (Dave Wong), who falls from grace but gets dragged back in. It seems old rival Weird (Moses Chan) can’t get on with his life without racing Fred in a final race, but Fred can’t bring himself to race again after his wife died. Besides, he now has a bum leg so how can he race? Meanwhile, stranger Suki (Karen Mok) shows up and finds herself attracted to Fred, much to the dismay of his friend Kelly (Maggie Siu).
     Of course, everything reaches a head and soon Fred finds himself back in the game for a climactic race that will determine who really is the “Racing God.” Yep, it’s God of Gamblers with bikes, and the result is an unoriginal yet entertaining little movie. As an actor, Dave Wong himself doesn’t really do that much that’s noteworthy. It’s Karen Mok and Maggie Siu who carry this picture, and they do it well I might add. Not much of import happens here, but the whole manages to be entertaining and without any real pretension. (Kozo 2000)
