The film opens at Silk’s (played by DMX) nightclub, where Po Sing (played by Jon Kit Lee), the son of Chinese Triad boss Ch’u Sing (played by Henry O), is confronted by several African-American gang members. Po’s bodyguards, led by Kai (played by Russell Wong) come to his aid, resulting in a fight in the club. After the Chinese are ushered out of the nightclub, Kai argues with Po, resulting in the latter driving away in anger.
The next morning, Po Sing’s body is found dangling from a light pole, dead. The news quickly travels to Ch’u, as well as the boss of the black gang, Isaak O’Day (played by Delroy Lindo).
The scene shifts to Hong Kong, where Po’s brother, Han Sing (played by Jet Li), is currently incarcerated. Formerly a cop, Han had taken the fall for his brother and father, who have both since escaped to America. Upon hearing of his brother’s death, Han breaks out of prison and heads for the US.
The character of Trish O’Day (played by Aaliyah in her first film role) is then introduced. Although the daughter of a notorious crime boss, Trish wants nothing to do with her father or crime, and is reluctant when Maurice (played by Anthony Anderson), working for her father, comes to act as her bodyguard and babysitter.
Trish manages to give Maurice the slip at a music store and gets into a cab, which coincidentally Han is stealing. The two drive for Trish’s house, and along the way, they become fast friends. Meanwhile, Isaak is meeting with shady businessman Vincent Roth (played by Edoardo Ballerini), where it is revealed they are planning to build a football stadium. Read more
