Co-directed by Wong Jing and Jason Kwan (A Nail Clipper Romance), the film about crime, corruption and brotherhood in 1960s and 70s Hong Kong revolves around a gangster and a cop inspired by notorious real-life figures: drug lord Ng Sek Ho, whose life was previously dramatized in To Be Number One, and corrupt sergeant Lui Lok whom Andy Lau portrayed in the Lee Rock series.In the 1960s, Ho (Donnie Yen) flees from Chaozhou to Hong Kong to seek a better life, but this rich and corrupt city has little for poor, uneducated folks like him. Ho and his friends barely get by as short-term laborers and occasionally take money to pose as gangsters for triad showdowns. During one of these gang fights for show, the brawl turns real and Ho gets into a violent confrontation with a vindictive British cop. Inspector Lee Rock (Andy Lau), who admires Ho's fighting skills, gets him out of prison. Ho later returns the favor by sacrificing his own leg to save Lee. Starting from the bottom rung of the Kowloon Walled City, Ho fights his way to the top of Hong Kong's drug empire. Meanwhile, Lee rises the ranks to become the top-ranking Chinese officer. Working together from opposite sides of the law, the two corner the drug market, eliminate enemies, accumulate riches and maintain the power balance of the underworld.

Under the British colonial rule, Hong Kong Police Force partnered with the triads and corruption was as rampant as ever. Ho (Donnie Yen), along with his fellow brothers Wil (Philip Keung) and Wayne (Wilfred Lau) slipped into Hong Kong illegally from Chaozhou. With his exceptional fighting skills and guts, Ho became a notorious fighter in the triads. Supported by the British, Chief Detective Lee Rock (Andy Lau) created a set of triads regulation. Rock appreciated Ho’s ability, and helped him to escape from further torture by British Police. Ho was grateful to Rock for his help. During one of the gang fights, he even sacrificed his right leg to save Rock’s life, hence becoming “Crippled Ho”. Indebted to Ho, Rock helped him to become the leader of the Big Four in triad society. Rock even sent his follower, Rose (Raquel Xu) to Thailand to cut off others’ source for drugs which made Ho the leader of the drug empire. Rock and Ho became extremely powerful and separately ruled the upper-world and the underworld of Hong Kong. Until 1974, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) forced Rock to have a premature retirement. However, Ho did not want to leave and determined to become the sole dictator of the drug empire…Director: Wong JingStarring: Donnie Yen Ji-Dan, Andy Lau Tak-Wah.
