HKFlix Says:	A fantastic, light-hearted, artsy film about an aged gangster returning to Hong Kong for revenge. Terrific casting and a solid script give all characters immense depth.

Overview:	A story about an aged gangster returning to Hong Kong for revenge on an old rival. After 30 years in Brazil, Mountain Leopard (Tsang) returns to Hong Kong with some guns and a flight bag filled with cash. On his way to a hotel, he runs into a gangster named Smokey (Tse). Smokey proceeds to chop off the hand of some guy who groped a prostitute. Mountain Leopard's impressed by this, and he offers the strapping young triad a job as a hitman to help settle an old score. We learn that way back in the late-60s, Mountain Leopard had a bitter rival–Nine Dragons. The two just had it in for each other until breaking point, it seems. "You can't have two tigers on a mountain," laments Mountain Leopard as he recounts the relationship. The bitter fight causes Mountain Leopard to be exiled from Hong Kong. As soon as he was sent away, Nine Dragons stole his woman and the sheer thought of that has festered ever since. Moved by the tale, Smokey agrees to help take down Nine Dragons. He sets about finding the adversary's whereabouts and learns a lot more along the way. This story is one of Metade Fumaca's strongest points–it's so simple, easy to follow and involving. The other big thing is the terrific casting. Everyone from Cheung Tat-ming to Sam Lee adds some kind of charm or charisma to the screen.
