An action packed film about a retired Chinese army officer who stands up against some jaded, mean-spirited American military figures at the end of World War II in occupied Tsang Tao. The first film directed by and starring international martial arts champion turned actor, Jet Li, and featuring European boxing Champion Kurt Roland Pettersson and kick boxing Champion Paulo H.P. Tocha. Li is very much out of character here (especially when using American boxing techniques in some of the fight sequences) which will surely have the hardcore fans seeking this one out.
