Assassins and killers from all around Hong Kong, including Tsukamoto's grandson Eiji, have their eyes on the prize.Among the bounty hunters who learn of the prize, is an ex-soldier, Fu (Jet Li), who is an elite fighter but not trained in the skills of being a killer. Teaming up with Ngok Lo (Eric Tsang), a self-proclaimed "expert trainer", Fu ends up becoming part of a larger game where assassins from every corner are eager to kill each other for the bounty. And thrown into all these, is Hong Kong police Officer Chan (Simon Yam), who is investigating the killings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Do not confuse this with the video games, the Chuck Norris film or the 2007 film.

Blinded by the Light: The Tall Guy, Eiji’s personal bodyguard and dragon, wears a mood ring which hides a laser light pointer, which he will periodically flash into the eyes of his opponents to blind and distract them then beat them while they’re momentarily unable to see. Heck its not just his mood ring, he even had laser pointers in the tip of his shoes!

Badass in a Nice Suit: Most of the assassins in the movie qualifies. Subverted with Ngok, who is a comic relief and the Team Normal.

Bad Habits: The first elite hitman Fu had to battle is a Caucasian assassin dressed as a priest, who carries a rosary which he uses as a garotte, and favors using grenades hidden in his robes.

Accidental Murder: In the final battle, Eiji, armed with a katana, saw Fu fighting his henchwoman behind a paper sliding door. Eager to kill Fu personally, Eiji lunges forward with his weapon, and ends up impaling her instead of his target. Being a Bad Boss, Eiji doesn’t really bat an eye and continues attacking.
