Unfortunately, I was late to the cinema because I had to complete my custom essay paper and essay paper before the deadline. However, even though I missed the opening scenes of the film, I managed to understand the development of the plot lines. The actions depicted in the film are set in the warlord era of Republican China . At the beginning of the movie, the warlord Hou Jie conquers his rival Huo Long because he wants to rule in Denfeng. After Hou Jie seizes the control of Denfeng, the defeated Hou Jie decides to hide in Shaolin temple, but Hou Jie kills him. Hou Jie commits a mistake when he humiliates Shaolin monks before leaving the temple, and it becomes the beginning of the main plot line of the film .
