Independent Hong Kong filmmaker Scud serves up the second act of his "Limits Trilogy". Exploring the limits of passion in relation to homosexual romance, Amphetamine managed to raise even more controversies than its infamous predecessor Permanent Residence  did, thanks to its liberal amount of full-frontal male nudity, depiction of drug use, and explicit sex scenes. In particular, a violent sodomy scene had to be cut in order to get a theatrical release under the Category-III rating. That scene is fully restored for this video release.

Amphetamine was screened at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival, and chosen as the closing film of the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Former TVB actor Byron Pang (The Storm Warriors) and Chinese-British actor Thomas Price (City Without Baseball) are both newcomers in films, yet they both give daring performances as two men drawn into love and despair after a fateful encounter. The film co-stars sexy actress Winnie Leung (The Forbidden Legend: Sex and Chopsticks II).

Kafka, a straight fitness trainer meets Daniel, a passionate executive who happens to be gay. The young men fatefully fall in love and believe that their love can bridge anything, even their difference in sexuality and Kafka's drug habits.

Daniel does not regret his love for Kafka, who tries to love him back against his nature. But a dreadful memory from Kafka's past makes it difficult for their relationship to work. It turns out that their addiction to love proves more fatal than the drugs they use to explore the boundaries of their friendship.
