The movie  starts with the two brothers meeting again for the first time in years with Dragon acting as the body guard for a local  crime lord. Due to various mishaps the two brothers and a man named Turbo who wields nun chucks must take on  the local triad leader for revenge.

 In Summary

 No English audio language option is available, which is normally no problem, but combined with lacklustre acting from  the lead roles, a poorly developed characters,  dreadful cutting and poor direction left little impact on this viewer.  Overall a bad movie, with any hope of the kung fu saving the movie destroyed by over usage of wire-fu, and bad  camera angles.
