John Liu stars as Shao Yu Pai, master of the "northern kick" kung-fu, still seeking revenge for the death of his brother. Evidence mounts that Lu Tung Chung (Alexander Lo), master of the "southern fist" kung-fu, is the culprit. What Shao doesn't realize, however, is that the true villain is subtly manipulating both the martial artists behind the scenes, hoping to force them into a confrontation and have the dirty work done for him.

Los seguidores de la “patada del norte”, odian, detestan y desprecian a sus contrincantes, los de la “patada del sur. Entre ellos queda muy claro a que estilo pertenece cada escuela de Kung fu. Al principio lucharan entre ellos, para luego luchar y destruir a un enemigo común.
