Description:
It is 1940's China, and gangs rule the city. The most notorious of them all is the axe gang, lead by the insane Brother Sum. A slum called Pig Sty Alley is the only area safe from the Axes because the people there are so poor. Soon, wannabe gangster Sing and his pal Bone attempt to extort money out of a barber and fail, drawing the real Axe Gang to Pig Sty. However, it turns out that there are several kung fu masters living in the slum, and soon the two sides are enemies. As the plot thickens, Sing must decide- should he become a mobster, or save the day?



Ok This flick is to me what The Matrix is to many of my friends. When it comes on I can't help but to watch it. It combines a creative use of C.G. animation with humor and great fight choreography reminiscent of cl a@@ ic kung fu movies to make a very enjoyable original film.

I have seen both dubbed and subbed versions, but the translation gets lost in the subbed version. That is the reason for upping the dub.
