"Pushing The Limits" is a French film, directed by Thierry Donard around 1994. It is about extreme sports and sky skiing. The soundtrack contains songs from "Works", "Million Lights", and "Plays The Pictures". Some musics seems to be new releases and not the original songs. The music is credited not to T21 but to the Lomprez brothers and to Bruno Donini. You can see the "Pushing The Limits" video VHS box artwork.

Yes! Email me at toddejones@yahoo.com
