--> "Those who follow their destiny meet with sorrows, while those who resist their destiny meet with death."
''Fatal Move'' is a 2008 Hong Kong movie starring Creator/SammoHung, Simon Yam and Wu Jing, their second collaboration after Film/ShaPoLang. Ironically, this time Yam and Hung are on the same side.
Triad brothers Lin Ho-Lung (Sammo Hung) and Lin Ho-Tung (Simon Yam) finds themselves in the middle of a triad war for control, while being investigated by Senior Inspector Liu Chi-chung (Danny Lee). Facing a series of double-crossings and internal conspiracy, the triad brothers must fight to regain control of their crime empire.
Jacky Wu Jing, then famous for his role as Jack, the ruthless hitman and murderer from ''Sha Po Lang'' and his epic fight with Donnie Yen, once again plays another henchman and top assassin employed under Sammo Hung, named Lok Tin-hung. His performance as Luk, an even deadlier murderer than Jack, makes him a popular choice for Hong Kong villains in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* {{Acrofatic}}: Lin Ho-Lung, being played by Sammo Hung that's expected.
* AnArmAndALeg: Plenty of characters lose their limbs in the numerous gang wars, but mostly to Luk and his insanely cool ''jian''. In fact, Luk’s EstablishingCharacterMoment had him marching into a gang war where various gangsters are attacking each other with machetes, and with several quick slashes of his ''jian'', removes maybe a dozen limbs in five seconds and leaving several one-limbed bodies bleeding everywhere he goes.

* BolivianArmyCliffhanger
* ColdBloodedTorture

* CoolSword: Luk’s preferred weapon, a Chinese ''jian'' which he used to slice and dice mooks that gets in his way. Heck, [[https://martialartsactionmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Fatal-Move.jpg his very own character poster naturally features this weapon by his side]].
* HeroesPreferSwords: Inverted with Luk, the deadliest villain, who is the only swordsman in the movie.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Luk. In one scene he tries intimidating a rival mob boss who has two bodyguards beside him. The mob boss, determined to teach Luk a lesson, signals for his bodyguards to draw guns, but in one quick swoop, Luk sliced up the throats of both bodyguards, remove the mob boss’ hand who just finished drawing his gun, and sheathes his sword before the mob boss can look at his bloody stump.
