In this story of betrayal, Brandon (Brandon Lee) seeks revenge on ex-friend Michael (Michael Wong), who not only frames Brandon for his crime but also steals the love of his life. It is unfair to expect Lee to be the next Bruce Lee, but the comparison is unavoidable; his demeanour reminds us of his father even though his combat performance hardly resembles the acrobatic flair of Bruce's. Another challenge awaited Lee: action films had evolved a lot since Bruce; they now featured martial arts scenes as well as stylish gunfights. Would Lee be able to portray an action hero that honours the legacy of his screen legend father? Regrettably, this is Brandon's only starring role in a Hong Kong production.
