Upon hearing of his master’s death, a man returns to Shanghai amidst tensions from its Japanese occupation, and learns there was foul play.

Quite a good movie, with all the basic elements. There’s next to none of the B-movie cheese that’s pervasive of such films, so it’s good enough for everyday people.

I didn’t keep this movie, but I edited the subtitles to remove closed-captioning and clean up some things that made no sense. They added text when the people weren’t saying those words or weren’t even saying anything..

• 0:15 — Wow, immediate oldschool cheese.
• 1:00 — Ugh, that title was hard to read.
• 2:30 — Shanghai China

• 2:45 — The Kokureeu Clan appears to be fictional.

  • It’s not The Kokuryūkai (The Black Dragon Society)
• 3:15 — Jet Lee looks too young to be in school, especially compared to the ages of the other students.
• 5:00 — Inserting a little comedy in there seemed very out-of-place.
• 6:15 — Yes woman, distract from people getting seriously injured with your “stuff”.
• 7:30 — The Niguchi Clan appears to be fictional.
• 7:45 — Where did all the beat-up guys go? There’s only one there..

• 8:30 — Japan Self-Defense Forces
• 9:00 — Japanese occupation of Shanghai (History of Shanghai), placing this during World War II.
• 9:15 — Oh, I think he’s dubbed. I thought he spoke Japanese.
• 10:30 — The Chinese can tell Japanese and Chinese peoples apart.

• 18:00 — Casual misandry.

  • 18:30 — And again, or perhaps that was just an error of choreography.
• 23:45 — Pathology
• 25:00 — I’m not sure how to link this. Perhaps Hepatotoxicity.
• 29:30 — I wonder if the master smoked. His tobacco could have been poisoned.
• 43:00 — Actually, she was out of the room when he said he was at Jing Wu at the time of the murder.
• 51:45 — Will she be kidnapped?
• 1:02:15 — Good thing his little break healed him back up.
• 1:08:15 — Karate is Okinawan, and I’d bet it’s pretty distant from Bushido.
• 1:12:15 — We’ll make it even.. with the power of theme music.
• 1:14:15 — Biting is unsportsmanlike.
• 1:22:30 — What. Not even an evening’s worth of kata isn’t enough to learn..
  
• 1:27:15 — Haha, that’s the best taunt ever. That just made this whole movie.
• 1:28:00 — He clearly won and this is an illegal match.
• 1:29:15 — Where’s the other guy? He should be loitering around on the floor somewhere.
• 1:32:45 — So why are they fighting anyway? The general found their old master’s murderer, and he won an honourable challenge without killing their new master. Now our hero is just being a dick.

• 1:35:15 — He pull the sword, the new master blocks with his body and dies, our hero becomes the new-new master.

  • Well I was close.
• 1:39:45 — Why is a random white guy there?

• 1:40:45 — So who was the second body? Or was he smuggled out on the stretcher and still alive?
