Moving into the city with his pregnant wife, Tsu-tsu, Cheung uncovers a dangerous conspiracy involving Shanghai's leading millionaire, politician and philantropist, Paul Tai Chai-man (Damian Lau) who is secretly working with the corrupt military trying to import opium and drugs into Shanghai for their own benefits. When the local authorities refuse to investigate Paul's activities, despite incriminating evidence, Cheung decides to take matter into his own hands.Not to be confused with the Oliver Stone movie, Heaven & Earth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Anyone Can Die: Sadly, literally everyone fails to outlive the credits except Paul Tai, the Big Bad.

 The Bad Guy Wins: Cheung and all the members of his team died for nothing, and Paul is free to continue exercising his control over Shanghai by the end of the film.

 Badass Bookworm: Cheung may be a lawyer and office worker, but he can also kick plenty of ass, fight like a pro, and take names with guns easily.

 Armies Are Evil: The local military is bribed by Paul. In fact, during the opium plant shootout, most of the enemy mooks are dressed in army uniforms, and appears to be from military branches but are serving Paul directly. Even the local head of military turns out to be serving Paul, as Cheung finds out… three seconds before he gets betrayed and shot.

 Action Girl: Wu-jun, who gets to kick plenty of ass in the opium plant shootout. Too bad she only has one action scene for herself though.
