Man Called Hero, - A B
By Kage Alan

In the first half of the 20th century, Hero Hua is a young man who is finally granted an audience and opportunity to test before a martial arts master. While he's gone, a group of local gangsters murder most of his family, leaving only his wife, Jade and brother alive. Hero retaliates and kills the man responsible, but remorse for having taken a life forces him to make a personal decision to self-exile himself in America to deal with his issues. After discovering she is pregnant, Jade decides to venture to American and find her husband. The couple are reunited and spend a brief reprieve in peace and happiness before the proverbial crap hits the fan. It seems that Invincible, an old student of the master back in Hong Kong, wants something known as "China Secret", the culmination of power in that particular martial art. Tragedy strikes and Jade passes away shortly after giving birth to a boy and a girl. To add insult to injury, the daughter is kidnapped. Hero, meanwhile, discovers that he is born under the star of Death and that all those he loves who remain close to him will die tragic deaths. Sixteen years later, Sword, Hero's son, comes to America in search of his father. Invincible also wants Hero, so he and his ninjas aren't far behind either. The final battle is a spectacular combination of CGI and model work fought out on the Statue of Liberty.
