The Black Enforcer / int_9303d6d1	comment	Battle Amongst the Flames: Early in the film, Tien-Lung wakes up to bandits attacking his home and killing several of his fellow escorts, and his house on fire, where he grabs his sword and starts battling enemies just as the entire building is set alight to save his mother and sister. It doesn't work.

The Black Enforcer / int_bc3cb7ff	comment	Clear My Name: Averted: after being framed and thrown into prison, Tien-Lung, instead of making any attempts to clear himself of working with the bandits, only stayed there. It was only 15 years later when he finished serving his sentence, at which point he goes out for revenge.
