The Desperate Prodigal
5.4
"Champ" Wang, Peng "Roc" Tien and Kor Chun Hung star in this action-packed martial arts revenge film. A fighter is brutally beaten and left for dead, but somehow manages to survive. Time heals, however, even if it doesn't wipe away the harsh memories, and later, strong and determined, the man rises from the proverbial ashes to seek those who've wronged him and exact his own brand of justice.
