About the title
In the early 20th century, during the Japanese occupation of China, samurai boasting of their invincible karate brutally killed the peace-loving kung fu teacher Ho. The demoralized populace didn't even dare think of resistance. Everyone was terrified — except Chen Zhen, the murdered master's most gifted student. On learning what happened, the hero swears to avenge his teacher's killers no matter what. And when the hour of reckoning comes, Shanghai, groaning under the occupiers' heel, becomes the site of a colossal battle between a daring lone fighter and a horde of the deadliest enemies.
