Legendary Assassin (2008)Photobucket

Bo (Wu Jing) is chowing down lots of food at a cafe. It makes him feel satisfied and alive to be able to eat. The restaurant owner walks by and gives him a bowling ball bag. He asks her if god would ever forgive them for what they've done. She tells him that it depends on how he look at things.

He takes the bag and goes to a rural Hong Kong Island. He hides outside a temple watching Chairman Ma (Kou Zhan Wen) and his bodyguards. In a quick swift Bo comes out and knocks the bodyguards down. Chairman Ma comes out with a big sword and continues a long fight scene with Bo. At the end Bo kills Ma and leaves the scene.

When Bo walks to dock, he hears that there is a level 8 typhoon and all the ferries are closed. He turns around to look for shelter and food. On a small street he sees Hiu Wor (Celina Jade) on a tree trying to get her cat down. Accidentally she slips and Bo saves her. Hiu Wor apologizes for the scare and ripping his shirt. She let's him into her house. She saw his bowling ball bag and asks him what he is doing in the island. He says that he is there on vacation and he teaches bowling.

She takes him to eat at the only place open during a typhoon. While eating fishball noodles they hear the radio about three bank robbers that got away now in suspicion of hiding in the island. She turns around and sees three suspicious guys eating noodles. She walks over and asks them for their IDs. The big ugly guy chokes her and Bo comes to save her. He knocks the guys up and another crazy fight scene.

At the end Bo beats down the three guys and the cops come. Hiu asks Bo to go to the police station with her. She is a cop and wanted him to leave a testimony. Everyone really likes Bo for saving Hiu and helping them solve a big case. Except, Tarzan (Sammy Leung) is jealous of Bo and picks on him. Everyone asks Bo to stay and eat dinner. Hiu is very nice to Bo and they wash dishes together then Bo teaches her to fight. They exchange tactics and have fun doing it.

All the while, Chairman Ma's men lead by Fat Wing(Lam Suet) came to the island to look for their boss. They found a headless Chairman Ma and one of his bodyguards says that the assassin was holding a bag. Mrs. Ma (Aoyama Noriko) calls to instruct Fat Wing that they have to find Chairman Ma's head. The men spread out to look for his head.

Hiu and Tarzan go out to inspect a complaint. They find several of Ma's men and Ma's headless body. They get into a fight and wins because Bo was secretly helping. They take the body back to the police station. Mrs. Ma finds out and tells Fat Wing to get the body back. Fat Wing and the followers invade the police station and left Bao (Alex Fong) dead.

More police come to the island to solve the case and they suspect Bo to be the assassin. Hiu inspected Bo's bag and found a bowling ball so they let him off the island. When he got to mainland Hong Kong Mrs. Ma's men were waiting for him. He accidentally drops the bag and the bowling ball rolls out and the inside the ball was Chairman Man's head.

Mrs. Ma kidnapps Hiu and trapes Bo back to the island. Mrs. Ma ties Hiu up and lines her men to wait for Bo. When Bo comes a hundred men attack him and they go into a long fist fight. Everyone is down even Bo. Mrs. Ma walks over with a Japanese sword. She wants to take his head but Hiu finally gets free and knocks Mrs. Ma. Behind Mrs. Ma goes out she stabs Bo. Before Bo passes out he says that the time he had with Hiu was the happiest he's ever had.

Hiu narrates. Bo has left and didn't leave anything. She's been researching why he killed Chairman Ma. She has found that Chairman Ma once kidnapped a doctor name Audrey White and at the end kills her.

Bo narrates. He leaves the bowling ball bag infront of Audrey White's grave and says that this was the only thing he could do for her because she had saved his life.
