Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hero, also known as Ma Wing-jing, is a 1997 Hong Kong Heroic Bloodshed film produced by Shaw Brothers, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Yuen Biao (frequent Jackie Chan collaborator). A remake of the old Shaw Brothers movie The Boxer From Shantung, Hero is notably the last film made by Shaw Brothers before the studio closed businesses permanently in 1998 (nowadays the studio serves as a tourist attraction in its native China).Much like the original, the story revolves around Ma Wing-jing (Kaneshiro), a youngster living in the last days of Imperial China, where after the downfall of the Qing Dynasty, is seeking a better opportunity in Shanghai, the Chinese capital of vice, gangsters, triads, and criminal activity. After stumbling into the activities of local triad kingpin Brother Tam-sei (Yuen Biao), Ma joins Brother Tam's syndicate as an enforcer, rising in the ranks of the triads as a trained killer. But when Brother Tam's number two, Yang, overthrows Brother Tam and seeks to kill him and all his allies, including Ma, its time for Ma and his friends to overthrow the same triad they were raised in, blood-brothers style.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Shootouts, swordfights, and bloodshed ensues. Like, so much blood. | |

Adaptational Badass: Brother Tam-sei. In the original movie Boxer of Shantung, Brother Tam, played by David Chiang, dies after one fight scene, although he did kill at least a dozen mooks before expiring. In this remake, Brother Tam lives through one action scene after another, survives multiple assassination attempts, and actually kills nearly a hundred enemies before his eventual death, which happens in the last few minutes of the film. | |

Anti-Hero: Despite what the title says, none of the main characters are really heroes, since they are just killers and mobsters by the end of the day. | |

An Ax To Grind: Axes are the default melee weapon for mobsters. Brother Tam gets to Dual Wield two axes because he's just so damn good. | |
