Aquí las fuerzas del bien -guiadas por el Gran Maestro del Clan Omei- y del mal -con Onyx a la cabeza- se enfrentarán en una definitiva batalla que causa la destrucción y el caos a gran escala. En la batalla un error de Halcón Rojo deja que se escape Onyx, que se refugia en la Cueva de la Sangre. Entonces Halcón Rojo vigila la guarida y los movimientos de Onyx mientras el Gran Maestro y el resto de los miembros de Omei se reagrupan y preparan un plan para destruirle definitivamente.
From the Queen to the Chief Executive
In 1985, Cheung Yau-ming was one of five miscreants involved in the brutal murder of a white couple. As he was still a juvenile, the court ordered that he be "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure," a clause in British law allowing the government to imprison young offenders for an indefinite period. The film picks up in 1997, with Yau-ming (now 28) being paid a visit by a girl named Cheung Yue-ling. With only six months to go before the Handover, Yau-ming and 22 other prisoners hope to have their sentences determined soon, fearing what might happen should the decision about what to do with them become the province of incoming Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa.
