At the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1868, corruption in the imperial court made people's lives miserable. In Guangzhou, the two evil forces of the Black Tiger Gang and the Beihai Gang overrun Huangpu Port. They threatened the poor people in the port with violence and made their lives miserable. In the eyes of the outside world, Huangpu Port is a place of prosperity and opportunity, but in depth, we will find that it is actually a living purgatory.
Black Tiger boss Lei Gong (Sammo Hung) Because one of the recruits was running around (Eddie Peng) With exceptional skill and courage to take the head of the Beihai gang, and let the black tiger gang dominate one side, not only earn a lot of silver by opium, but also carry out despicable human trafficking, Lei Gong more see a Fei as his own. In fact, there is another story behind Alfy, and the mind has another plan. He and his friends set a trap, rescued the poor people, and openly fought a duel to the death with Lei Gong. Peace finally returned to Huangpu Port and true heroes were born [2] .

Film evaluation

broadcast
EDITOR
Positive comment
The film in the action design, although not surprising, but also not conventional, action has become a film worthy of attention (Yangcheng Evening News review) [6] . The film is well made, the night scenes are fierce, and the special effects are not ugly. In addition, the film also recreates the scene of Huangpu Pier in Guangzhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the art is in place, and the green and cold image tone also complements the meaning of the film (Beijing News Review) [17] .
Negative evaluation
The Rain Alley battle at the beginning of the film resembles the beginning of the Grandmaster, but it is not as exquisite and delicate as the Grandmaster. The story structure of the film is thoughtful, but there are many problems in the expression of the story. About a quarter of the film is meaningless lyricism, while the two main characters, Ah Fei and Red Fire, at various stages of their exposition of "dreams" are sloganized, like a schoolboy essay. In addition, the fight scenes in the film are similar or even repeated, the lines are also failed to create, many lines are not suitable for colloquial expression, especially Wang Zulan's lines dubbing, is a big failure of the film (Yangcheng Evening News review) [6] .
Some plots in the film are simple and rough, making the overall story more depressed, the whole film presents a deep "dark" style, and the strong characteristics of "cult" killing, which are somewhat estranged from the acceptance of the mainstream audience. As a comic character, "tooth rub Sue" appears too little, and it is a pity that this character who makes the audience delighted every time he appears will make the pace of the film slow down a lot, and let the audience enjoy it more (Beijing News Review) [17] .
