The imaginatively-titled Hong Kong Bronx stars Jordan Chan as Neil, an ex-triad released after eight years in prison. Previously, he was a big time triad enforcer, but his years in the slammer have given him perspective. He's become a subscriber to the straight and narrow path, and wants to start a business with his ex-triad buddy Faye (Timmy Hung). He also wants to take care of his two sisters Bonnie (Vonnie Lui) and Barbie (Ada Wong), and being an active triad would obviously make him a bad role model. Ergo, he's done with the gang for good.
Sadly, just when Neil thought he was out, they pull him back in. A triad election is coming up, and elderly triad Uncle Bo (Wong Tin-Lam) wants Neil to take over Kowloon East because he's a righteous fellow, not like power hungry bastard Johnny (Chan Bo-Yuen). Johnny is annoying and almost ridiculously evil, and fears Neil and the legend of his ass-kicking prowess. However, Johnny should be okay, because Neil really doesn't want to return to the gang life.
Unfortunately, Johnny can't take the hint, and chooses to harass and annoy Neil, constantly baiting him such that he can't escape his previous life. To make matters worse, the cops are distrustful and generally crappy towards Neil, too. A big ol' ball of anger begins building up in Neil, mirrored by the similarly growing ball of anger in Bull (Kenny Wong Tak-Bun), a blue-collar trucker whose son is bullied and forced into triad recruitment.
Also, Bull's girlfriend Mabel (Winnie Leung) owes money to Johnny's boys, which leads to all sorts of sordid events that one would likely not see in CJ7. Then…IT ALL GOES TO HELL.
