An undercover agent is assigned to infiltrate a crime organization from the inside. He will work as a member of the gang, going through rigorous training alongside them until he has earned their trust. He will then take out his fellow gang members, one by one, until he reaches the kingpin and puts an end to organized crime in his city. But there's a problem: our undercover cop has been having second thoughts about killing those who believe they are working for justice and honor under this new-fangled system of "organized" crime. It seems that after living with these guys for so long, he started to catch himself thinking that maybe – just maybe – this world just isn't so bad after all. He has even grown fond of some of his fellow gang members, who have since turned into close friends. What is he to do? The undercover agent looks at the leader's face and suddenly realizes that he is looking at himself in the mirror. He is the new leader."The New Legend of Shaolin" was released in September 2005 by Universe Films.
