Return Engagement tells the story of Lung (Alan Tang), a Triad boss who is sent to prison in Canada. While he is in jail his daughter is taken to Hong Kong to keep her safe. On his release Lung travels to Hong Kong to find his daughter where he meets a young Triad, Wah (Andy Lau) who knows of his reputation and respects him greatly.
The film was released on VHS in North America as Hong Kong Corruptor, featuring an unrelated scene with Chow Yun-fat. This meant to cash in on the success of American film debuts made by Asian filmmakers, such as John Woo as well as superstars such as Chow Yun-Fat.
