Product Description
-------------------
The cops can't control him. The mob wants him dead. And time is
running out. Donnie Yen is Detective Chen Zilong, but the
criminal underworld knows him as 'Dragon' Chen, a dangerous but
effective enforcer. When rivalries explode with the reappearance
of an old enemy and a brutal murder, the Triads close ranks and
unleash a series of executions; with Chen at the top of the list.
Undercover and under attack, he has no choice but to rely on a
new partner (Jing Tian) and his knowledge of the streets to get
out alive. It's the only chance he's got.

About the Actor
---------------
Martial artist and Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen was born in
Canton, China, on July 27, 1963 to newspaper editor Klyster Yen
and martial arts master Bow Sim Mark. At the age of four, Donnie
started taking up martial arts from his mother who taught him tai
chi and wushu until he was eleven when he moved to Boston, MA,
with his family. From there, Donnie continued with tai chi and
wushu but soon also began experimenting with various others
martial art styles, such as taekwondo, kickboxing and boxing,
after developing a huge interest in martial arts. When he was
sixteen, his parents sent him to Beijing Wushu Academy so he
could train Chinese MA under Master Wu Bin, well known as the
coach of Jet Li. He underwent intensive training for three years.
After those years passed by, he was about to leave back to the
States, but made a side trip to Hong Kong, and there he was
accidentally introduced to famous Hong Kong action director
Woo-ping Yuen, who was responsible for bringing Jackie Chan to
super stardom and was looking for someone new to star in his
movies. Donnie was offered a screen test and thereafter a
4-picture deal after passing it; first starting with stunt
doubling duty on the movie The Miracle Fighters before starring
in his first film, Drunken Tai Chi, at the age of 19. He
continued his early film career working independently with
Woo-ping Yuen and at TVB, gaining more acting experience, and
then started getting attention in the late 1980s and mid 1990s
after he was offered a contract by the D&B Films Co. whom gave
him major roles in the well known films Tiger Cage, In the Line
of Duty 4 and Tiger Cage 2 which got his reputation spread out
within the Hong Kong film circuit. But after a while, the company
did not do well and in the end went bankrupt which left Donnie
with no choice but to go back to TVB and venture into low-budget
film-making.
