It is the story primarily of two half-brothers, Dragon and Tiger, separated at a young age. The younger Tiger was raised at the titular dojo, whereas Dragon was adopted by a mob boss after his mother's death. Years later, the two of them come into conflict by chance. A third warrior, Turbo Shek, eventually joins the fight as well and they eventually band together to take on Shibumi and the Luocha Gang.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Pretty much everyone to some degree:
** Turbo Shek seems to play it straightest, subverted somewhat by the fact that his arrogance is largely faked because he was tired of being bullied.
** Dragon is a much quieter example, more of a "Confident" Kung Fu Guy rather than "Arrogant"
** Shibumi plays it very straight.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Both at the Dragon Tiger Gate (with Master Wong) and with villainous Luocha Cult (with Shibumi).
* BadBoss: [[spoiler: Shibumi fatally wounds Luocha, presumably for failing to keep Dragon from interfering with the assassination of Ma Kun. As an added bit of cruelty, he gives her a medicine that can heal most any wound... and forces her to give it to the man whom she loves]]
* BatterUp: Ma Kun's weapon in his sole fight. Justified since he was watching his daughter play baseball and it was the only weapon on hand.
* BladeOnAStick: Mater Wong's weapon of choice versus Shibumi.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: [[spoiler: Dragon arrives too late to save Ma Kun]]
* CreatorCameo: Master Qi is played by the author of the original manhua.
* TheDragon: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Dragon]] to Ma Kun until he leaves the gang.

* OrphansPlotTrinket: Dragon and Tiger each have half of a jade pendant. Naturally, it's how they recognize each other.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: For trying to leave the Luocha Gang, Shibumi has Ma Kun killed.

* TigerVersusDragon: Averted. Though they do fight multiple times in the movie and begin on opposite sides, Tiger and Dragon are ultimately very close and friendly.

* WorthyOpponent: Shibumi seeks out strong fighters. After Dragon defeats [[DualBoss the Double Devils]] Shibumi considers him one. He also considers Master Wong enough of one [[spoiler: to kill him after defeating him, while he spared Turbo and Tiger because they were NotWorthKilling]].
