Der junge Lok-kwun flieht von China nach Hong Kong, wird beim Kauf eines falschen Passes allerdings von Edel-Gauner Mr. Big über den Tisch gezogen. Also klaut der Bursch dessen Drogen und flüchtet damit in die legendäre „Walled City“: Im von Triaden kontrollierten, teilweise vierzehn Stockwerke hoch übereinander aufgeschichteten und ineinander verschachtelten Labyrinth aus Wohnungen, Esslokalen und Geschäften wird er vom dortigen Zampano Cyclone unter die Fittiche genommen – und der hat noch eine Rechnung offen mit Mr. Big. Soi Cheangs mythisch aufgeladenes und nostalgisch durchwirktes, extrem frenetisches Martial-Arts-Spektakel ist nicht zuletzt eine liebevolle Hommage an das Hong-Kong-Actionkino der Achtziger. (mk)
