Plot
Jiang Hu tells two stories simultaneously. The first is about a gang leader, Mr. Hung (Andy Lau), and the tensions that arise between him and his old friend ,second-in-command, Lefty (Jacky Cheung), due to Mr. Hung’s wife’s recent childbirth, Lefty feels that Hung should leave the gang business as he is now burdened with family and that will appear weak in character to their own under-bosses. Lefty also believes that it is his own turn to run the business in his own direction. However, Hung is unhappy with Lefty’s leadership style of fear and brutality to keep his underlings in line, and is hesitant to cede power to Lefty.
The second story is about two teenage low ranking gang members named Yik and Turbo, who are hoping to gain respect and rank in the gangs by performing a hit on a gang leader. Yik and Turbo are planning to murder Mr. Hung. Yik frequents a brothel whom he has a crush on one of the prostitutes that work there while Turbo starts trouble with other gang members which results in him losing the function of his right hand. Yik rescues Turbo.
The film ends with Mr. Hung confronting Lefty in a restaurant and revealing that it was Lefty that leaked the news of Hung being a father. It is now revealed that Yik and Turbo are in fact Hung and Lefty during their youth. After they reconcile their differences, they realize they have been surrounded by assassins. In a final act of friendship, Hung and Lefty proceed to fend of hoards of assassins before eventually collapsing to their wounds and finished off by a group of grunts.
