Asshole arrogant unstoppable fighting machine Huo Yuanjia beats the shit out of every fighter in the city and gets so full of himself that he ends up destroying or alienating himself from everyone he could ever care about, with exile as the only true option. That is, until he rolls into Shanghai for a politically motivated fighting tournament that is created for the sole purpose of humiliating China. Jet Li has to save the reputation of China as a strong honorable nation through a series of fights, both physical and spiritual. The action moves at a strange pace though and I felt there was less action than there needed to be with Li's mediocre acting acting as a foundation for the film to be built upon just as much as his fighting ability.
