Jet Li opens the movie as a disgraced General Pang, who was betrayed and only survived a massacre of his troops by the cowardly act of playing dead. (Yes! Jet Li, playing a coward, pretending to be dead!). In his quest to survive incognito, he chances upon a bandit Zhang Wu-Yang, played by Kaneshiro, who acknowledges General Ma's fighting prowess, and recruits him to the gang of Lau's Zhao Er-Hu. However, the bandit life is not for a man of war, who sees the poor bandit illage getting their asses kicked when soldiers of a rival court raid them, and thus finds the catalyst to encourage the bandit men to draw salary and food, by joining the army. Suspicious and needing assurance of the General, the trio Pang, Zhang, and Zhao sign a blood oath, and thus the blood brothers are born - one charismatic leader, one a general looking to reclaim his honour, and one in every bonding, the earnest and faithful follower.

A remake of the 1973 Shaw Brothers film Blood Brothers starring David Chiang, Ti Lung and Chen Kuan Tai.
