Plot

A young Shaolin follower reunites with his discouraged brothers to form a soccer team using their martial art skills to their advantage.

Twenty years after a corrupt teammate destroys his soccer career and leaves him with a broken leg, Fung becomes his former rival's mistreated lackey. A chance meeting with Sing, a penniless Shaolin master, reveals a way to revive Fung's ambitions by transforming martial arts into soccer. Sing reunites his discouraged brothers, each bringing a bizarre physical specialty to the field, and their team storms through increasingly brutal competition. Their path leads directly toward Hung's Team Evil, whose chemically enhanced players and crooked referee turn the championship into a vicious final battle.
