Set about six years after the events in Rich & Famous, Yung is now free from prison and intends to take revenge on Chai, not only for marrying Po Yee, a woman he was interested in romantically, but also for the humiliation he suffered at Chai's hands. Rising in power quickly, he eliminates his former boss, Old Chu, and begins to set in motion a plan to kill Chai and anyone who gets in his way…unless Chai and Kwok can stop him.

Tragic Hero is much more action oriented than Rich & Famous, though it still has a healthy dose of drama. The story this time focuses on Chai and Yung and manages to stay true to the characters created in Rich & Famous. Apparently both films were shot back to back in the same year, though Tragic Hero was released first. I really recommend watching them in order, as a lot of the subtle nuances between the characters will be lost to those who watch this one first.

Picture:
Tragic Hero is presented in 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen. Much like Rich & Famous, the print is also in need of some help, though the main fault with this transfer is that it appears overly soft throughout the film. Though to a lesser degree than in Rich & Famous, lines, marks, and spots still make appearances. Occasionally throughout the film, the picture jumps or shifts, which is quite jarring to watch. There is also some shimmer present. Again, much like Rich & Famous, the film is watchable, but the transfer is disappointing.

Sound:
Tragic Hero is presented in Dolby 1.0 Mono in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish. Optional English subtitles are available. The dialogue sounded clean throughout the tracks, though the Mandarin one seemed a bit quieter. I only detected one crackle in the soundtrack early on in the film; the rest was thankfully free of distortion.

Extras:
Extras include the trailer for Tragic Hero and three other films, along with three scrolling filmographies/biographies for the principle characters.

Summary:
Tragic Hero is a decent sequel to a decent movie, though neither are that exceptional or memorable. Recommended for fans of the first film or the actors, though rent it first, as this DVD presentation also leaves a bit to be desired.
