Well after that things get hecketit and people atart dying including david chiang,, but he only guest starss in the movie.. The ending has one of the most bloddyiest, ending ive ever seen in kungfu history.. i must say this movie is filled with nonstop action, but also has a great storyline, so others that dont like kungfu would be opened to watching this.. intill i spent the last 7 months in chinam, inever realized that chen kwan tai is one of the most incredible chinese boxers ive ever seen.. not only is he nce to lookj at but he is just amazing at what he does.. Another movie i would recommend that is similar to this one is Man Of Iron!! Also a shaw brothers film, and it also stars Chen Kwan Tai... Ali Jordana
