To The Fore trailer screenshot (source YouTube)Video trailer: Fast & Furious cycling from Hong Kong action movie director
A trailer has been released for a cycling film from Hong Kong action movie director, Dante Lam.
We’re pretty impressed by the racing footage depicted, with the film having been described as akin to one from the Fast & Furious franchise, but on bikes.
We also like that the original title – Breaking Wind, which to be honest didn’t translate too well into English – has now been ditched.
The film’s title in English now is To The Fore. Which let’s face it, is a better title to have in mind for whichever rider is slipstreaming the guy at the front of the peloton.
And on that subject, we’re guessing that “pace-setter” in the subtitles would be better translated as “leadout man.”
Chinglish quibbles aside, here’s the trailer, including an appearance by former world champion Rui Costa – albeit as a cardboard cut-out.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

I'd give it a watch!
hmmm......
Reminds me of the BMX movie RAD. As films go it was pretty shallow but it had bikes in it, so it was cool.
That looks truly, truly awful.
If they stick with Breaking Wind, it will just be one of those Arty-Farty movies.
Also the Chinese title literally translates to 'breaking wind'.
can we get a petition to bring the title 'breaking wind' back?
