Triad life in Hong Kong and it ain't pretty! Cross and doublecross, love, sex and murder. Cheung-dee. fights his way out of the ranks of the Triad by saving gangleader Prince from the clutches of rival gangleader Crazy Ball...believable action, kind of gritty and quite violent. Cheung-dee is later set up by his boss (Prince) to take the fall for a cocaine operation, while Crazy Ball is released from jail and hunting him and his family for revenge. The pretty District Attorney helps him win release while sacrificing her career, but in the end there is no escape from Triad life... but see the master, John Woo do it better!
