Bittersweet Ending: Ma beats all the bad guys but Long Qi is dead, as is apparently his whole living area save Tie Ju and he gets arrested at the end. The only thing keeping it from being a straight downer ending is Tie Ju telling him, she would wait for him and the cops don't appear corrupt or trying to kill him. | |
