The Hands of Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu

PHASE 2

Shang-Chi confronts five fighters on his way to Fu Manchu's inner sanctum, while Fu Manchu watches on a video monitor. His father, Fu Manchu, sent him on his first mission at 19 years old. He would assassinate Doctor Petrie, a Westerner who opposed Fu's plans, "the most evil man alive." Once in Mayfair, he found Petrie asleep and wondered how such an old man could contain such malice. Petrie awoke; Shang-Chi struck. He turned to go. Denis Nayland Smith, in a wheelchair with gun. Shang-Chi slapped the gun out of his hand. He turned to go. Smith weep for Petrie. Shang-Chi was stunned. Smith explained the true nature of evil: Fu Manchu, a megalomaniac with a rejuvenating potion and assassins, with the goal bring glory of China's imperial age to the world. Fu captured Smith in Burma and gave him to Tak, a sumo wrestler who mangled him. Shang-Chi visited mother, an American, in Honan. Shang-Chi faces Tak. One of them, an enhanced gorilla, almost ambushes him. He and Fu became Enemies. Later: M'Nai meets with Fu Manchu, who orders him to kill Shang-Chi. A gang tries to mug him, with predictable results. "Skillfully executed, my brother!" says M'Nai, who watched the whole thing from the shadows. Before Shang-Chi can say anything, M'Nai vanishes. They meet at midnight for fight till death. Attacks with knife, nunchaku, fists, bo, shuriken. Climbs a crane to evade M'Nai and then realizes he cant kills his only friend. M'Nai kick Shang-Chi, but misses and falling down.
