Plot Summary

Tangsan is a doctor living in the poverty stricken area of Shanghai. All the poor people come to him for help because of his kindness. But soon, the Axe Gang enters the picture, and they're ploting to destroy the town so they can build their own casino. Tangsan naturally gets involved, and starts an ongoing rivalry with the gang. But the gang leader's sister meets Tangsan one day, and they begin to have feelings for one another which complicates matters even more. Written by Andrew Hernandez

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia The film's Chinese title, "San Tong Saan Daai Hing" / "Xin Tang Shan Da Xiong" is a play on the Chinese title of the Bruce Lee film, The Big Boss ("Tong Saan Daai Hing"/"Tang Shan Da Xiong"). While the literal translation for this film would be "The New Big Brother From Tongsaan/Tangshan", this doesn't quite make sense as Donnie Yen's character (who is from Shanghai) is named "Tong Saan" rather than being from the province in northeast Hebei of the same name. Ironically, Yen's earlier directorial effort, Legend of the Wolf, was known in some international territories as "The New Big Boss" and even "Big Boss '97" in Japan. See more »
