Synopsis
Chicken (Jordan Chan) is set to marry the daughter of a Japanese yakuza boss (Sonny Chiba). When Chicken is set up, his old pals return to clear his name.
Notes
- Notable absences: Tai Fei, Prince, Chan Yiu
- Although they normally portrayed as Tai-tin Yee and Chow Pan/Banana Skin (who are the good guys) respectively, Michael Tse and Jason Chu took the roles as Lui Fu-kwan's henchmen, who were also named Michael and Jason respectively.
- Roy Cheung makes his third appearance, this time as Akira Kusakari, a villain who was adopted by Ichio.
- As Chicken marries Nanako in this movie, many fans who followed the series wondered whatever happened between Chicken and Wasabi (Karen Mok) because he proposed to her in Young and Dangerous 4. As it was revealed in Those Were the Days, they broke up and Wasabi went to Japan to learn some Japanese.
