- Open the BOOK OF SWORDS and be prepared to witness a spectacular fight for Earth's salvation that begins on the neon-soaked streets of a nocturnal Chicago and continues on the dusty planes of an Asian after-world...
Pieces of a mystically predestined puzzle begin to come together when Chicago police officers Lang (Ho-sung Pak, star of "Drunken Master II", "WMAC Masters",) and Lucky (Taimak, "The Last Dragon") enter into a routine undercover operation. They expect this operation to follow the same path it always has, with justice prevailing. However, Tazz (Rich Divizio) and Apollo (former Chicago Bear Shaun Gayle) - the psychotic bosses of an underworld crime crew - have different designs on the matter, and Lucky and Lang's brother gets killed in the process. His faith shaken, Lang disappears, leaving behind Beth (Liesel Guinto), the love of his life and the sworn duty to protect the city from the criminals that threaten to take control with a hail of bullets, fists and knives.
Three years later, Lang returns to Chicago with only his brother's bullet-pocked badge and his own razor-sharp senses of justice and honor. Lang's only goal is to earn his life back, but to do this he must render the slate clean by wiping out the crew that killed his partner and his brother. However, there are mystical spirits that have transcended time to decide a much higher destiny for Lang: the salvation of Asia. As Lang finds himself mired deeper and deeper in the mysticism beyond his realm of understanding, he is slowly drawn into a battle between good and evil - only Lang is never certain who his final opponent will be.
In this one of a kind, action-packed film, Ho-sung Pak brings to the screen a very difficult and elaborate style of Kung-fu known as Wushu. Witness gravity-defying feats as Ho-sung, one of the greatest modern practitioners of this ancient style of martial arts in America and throughout the world executes 4 to 5 kicks in midair and 720 degree kicks, butterfly twists, where his body spins one and a half rotations while being perfectly parallel to the ground - all without any help from wires!!!
Unfettered evil is disguised by virtue and calm erupts into fatal violence... Enter the BOOK OF SWORDS, a world of prophecies where only one, the one truly possessed by "the spirit of the Dragon" can triumph...
