Nearly two years later they make the long journey to seek revenge. When the widow sees the killer has cut off one of his legs as penance she refuses to let Yuan take revenge.

They plan to go back home immediately but the widow falls ill. The doctor tells Yuan nothing can be done with his medicines but the Wei family has a secret potion that just might help. Yuan goes to the Wei family not knowing there is a feud between them and the man he came to kill. The Wei clan are tyrants and mobsters. They control nearly everything and need men who can enforce their criminal deeds. But Yuan doesn't know that when he agrees to work for Wei in exchange for medicine for the widow. It seems as though every time they attempt to return home she becomes more seriously ill. When she discovers Yuan is working for Wei in order to get her medicine she can't allow it.

There are several plot twists that would not usually be expected in a movie of this genre. To be sure there are enough hard core fights to keep viewers satisfied but will keep fans guessing about who the villains really are, or are they?

However, this other master has an enemy in a local crime boss. The latter deviously exploits Jackie's character (named Yuan) to take down the crippled leader's martial clan once and for all, and this drives the plot of the movie and Yuan's growing crisis of conscience.

Ultimately though, in a cliche common to many films, the bad guys explain their evil plan in detail. This allows the shocked widow to commit suicide, and thus giving Yuan the opportunity to finally take on the bad guys, no longer being entrapped to choose between killing the whole family of the crippled clan chief in exchange for the widow's life.

Perhaps some might think the ending was a little too neat. For me, it came as quite a relief. Aside from the plot, the fight scenes were also very well choerographed.
