Amphetamine (Chinese: 安非他命; Jyutping: on1 fei1 taa1 ming6) is a 2010 Hong Kong film starring Byron Pang and Thomas Price. It revolves around the story of a Chinese fitness trainer, Kafka, who meets Daniel, a business executive. The film is directed by acclaimed Hong Kong Chinese film-maker Scud, the stage name of Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung. It was nominated for a Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival of 2010. It explores several themes traditionally regarded as 'taboo' in Hong Kong society in an unusually open, convention-defying way, and features full-frontal male nudity in several scenes. It is the third of five publicly-released films by Scud. The four others are: City Without Baseball, released in 2008, Permanent Residence in 2009, Love Actually... Sucks! in 2011, and his most recent, Voyage, in 2013. His sixth film, Utopians, has now been completed and awaits release, whilst his seventh, Naked Nation, is currently in production.
Set after the 2008 financial collapse, the story follows Kafka, a swimming instructor, when he meets Daniel, a wealthy investment banker who changes his life. Daniel is openly gay, and helps Kafka to come out of the closet, despite Kafka's being Catholic, and they quickly fall in love.

Take the guitar player for a ride
never he is left bein' satisfied
thinks is all some kind of death
just can't seem to get over it
With your bowl indeen
on your movie seen
and you don't know what i mean
but you don't know what i've been
If you jump in his hips
and your spanish lips
Take the guitar player for a ride
he's never wants bein' satisfied
thinks is all some kind of death
but takin' years to get over it
but you're so easily overexcited
we would have in a party but we won't invited
I took the key down to the Harbour Inn
over the cops he want let it mean
but he's used to be in turn away
he's gonna show them some fine day
and you're so easily excited
we would have in a party but we won't invited
With your better days and your shifty face
and your purple eyes
is like a game that you play
and you're so easily overexcited
we would have in a party but we won't invited
Until i found myself on the floor
i find a new better that i know now
always wear chost on my head
and i guess and i got overthere
i was so easily excited
there was always a party but i was never invited
Pretty baby said she was glad she got this far
and she where upon the roof just to read the stars
i gave her a hug and a kiss
but i can never give her this
Take the guitar player for a ride
he's hardly havin' been satisfied
thinks is all some kind of death
maybe you can help'em get over it
but you're so easily excited
