Movie Description Edmond Leung stars in this ambitious Donnie Yen film about a young hitman named Ben Chan who is out to find and kill the legendary Wolf, a very old and legendary assassin. However, when Chan arrives at the Wolf's lair, he begins a conversation with the old man's second in command, who proceeds to tell him the Wolf's life story. The main section of the film is composed of this flashback, and begins as the Wolf is a young soldier fleeing from a company of men who are trying to kill him. Filled with the impeccably choreographed fight sequences Mr. Yen has become famous for, THE LEGEND OF THE WOLF is also a highly stylized melodrama, making it one of the more unique period films to come out of Hong Kong in the 1990s.
