The film opens with the only footage of [[Jackie Chan]] in the entire film, namely brief scenes of him practicing with his stunt team while a voiceover claims that this is theChan's "first" film for which has was theas kung fu director (though this is demonstrably false, as he had already worked as martial arts director in earlier films such as ''[[Fist to Fist]]''). The story of the film then begins, with a novice buddhist monk learning to master [[kung fu]] techniques in order to avenge his father, who was murdered by gangsters.
