Drive is a 1998 direct-to-video film starring Mark Dacascos, Kadeem Hardison, Tracey Walter, John Pyper-Ferguson, Brittany Murphy, and Masaya Kato. The film was directed by Steve Wang and the stunt work/fight choreography was done by Koichi Sakamoto.

It has been compared to Brett Ratner's 1998 comedy Rush Hour because of its East-West teaming of Dacascos and Hardison and their comedic chemistry that develops (although it has been cited as only a slight influence).^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Plot

A machine/human hybrid prototype formerly working for the Red Chinese, Toby Wong, forces a down-on-his-luck, extroverted songwriter named Malik Brody to drive him to Los Angeles after their first meeting in a bar. He is on the run from hitmen - a hillbilly assassin/bounty hunter named Vic Madison and his seemingly half-retarded henchman called "Hedgehog".
