, Aaliyah

, Isaiah Washington
, Russell Wong
, and features action and fight choreography
by Corey Yuen
. It is considered Jet Li's breakout role in the English-speaking American film industry
.
The movie's setting was Oakland, California
, but other than a few establishing shots, the film was entirely shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. This film was the debut of R&B singer Grammy-indicated Aaliyah
as an actress.
The son of the head of the local Chinese gang, Po Sing (Jon Kit Lee) gets into a confrontation at a nightclub run by Silk (DMX
) just as Po's bodyguards, led by Kai (Russell Wong
), come to retrieve him. Silk and his bouncers drive the Chinese gang members out with assault rifles. Kai argues with Po over his stirring the current gang war by going into an enemy club, but Po brushes him off. In the morning he is found dead. Word quickly travels to his father Chu Sing (Henry O), as well as to the leader of a rival black gang, Isaak O'Day (Delroy Lindo
), who orders an investigation. In Hong Kong, Po's brother, Han Sing (Jet Li
) learns of his brother's death and escapes prison, heading to America.
Isaak sends Maurice (Anthony Anderson
) to guard his daughter, Trish O'Day (Aaliyah
), who gives him the slip and gets into a cab, which Han has just hot-wired. They enjoy friendly conversation before she takes off. Meanwhile Isaak meets with Vincent Roth (Edoardo Ballerini
) to discuss his acquisitions of various waterfront lands so Roth can become a part owner of the city's NFL football team and its new stadium. Isaak desires to go legitimate for his children.
In her store, Trish is upset to find her brother Colin O'Day (D.B. Woodside) there talking business, and reminds him that she wants nothing to do with their "gangster" business. Meanwhile, Han breaks into his dead brother's apartment and discovers that the last number Po called was Trish's store. At a diner, Isaak's second in command, Mac (Isaiah Washington
), confronts Trish and warns her to be careful due to the rising violence. When she arrives home, Han follows her into her apartment and asks her about the call. She suspects Po called Colin, and tells him so. Maurice and others arrive and find Han there. They try to fight him and are all defeated, after which Han steals Maurice's SUV.
At Po's funeral, Han confronts his father and demands to know who killed his brother, but his father does not answer. Kai tells him the two gangs are fighting for majority control of the waterfront property. That night, Han meets again with Trish to see if she has learned anything more. Colin and his girlfriend are thrown out of a window by an unidentified assassin. The next day, Po's place is ransacked and Han finds Po's car in the garage, where he examines Po's cane and finds a list of addresses. He returns to the apartment where Trish is crying among the mess. After telling him of Colin's murder, she asks for his help.
They start visiting the list of addresses on the list, and at the first find the Chinese owner has just been murdered. They spot the assassins leaving, who also spot them and give chase. During the chase and subsequent fight, Han discovers they are Chinese. He tells his father who dismisses it as a plot by Isaak and warns Han that Trish is just tricking him. Meanwhile Mac muscles a black fisherman out of his waterfront estate while Kai and his Chinese agents murder the owner and workers at a Chinese-owned waterfront business and steal their property deeds.
Isaak goes to Trish's home and forces her to come to her childhood home for protection. He warns her to stay away from Han, which leads her to ask if he was involved with Po's death, which he denys. They later have a long talk, and he apologizes for not always being the best father and tells her he needs her in his life. Roth calls and interrupts, asking about the deeds. Trish finds Han standing on her balcony.
Han and Trish head to Silk's club, the only place on the list of addresses that has yet to be invaded or signed over. Silk sees them and brings them into his office. He explains that Isaak is buying up all the property, but that he is not selling. Mac comes in, murdering Silk and kidnaps Trish. Han is beaten unconscious, and comes to in a warehouse surrounded by Maurice and other gang members. In an extended fight sequence, Han fights them all off and forces Maurice to tell him where to find Trish.
At the Oakridge Men's Club, Isaak declines to sell the deeds, wanting to become a partner instead. Mac says he is fed up with him and turns on him, bringing in Trish as a hostage. He reveals that he was working with Chu to kill any property owners who would not give up the deeds, and that he murdered Colin. An enraged Isaak attacks Mac, and is shot. A gunfight breaks out between Isaak's people and Roth's bodyguards, leaving most of Isaak's men dead. Roth flees with the deeds, but while fleeing he drops them from the helicopter and loses them. As Mac gathers them, Han confronts him about his brother, but Mac says it was done "in house" before pulling a gun. Trish arrives and shoots him off the roof. Han tells Trish to stay with Issak and goes to confront his father.
First, Han must get through Kai, who tells him that he is the one who killed Po. After a lengthy fight, Han kills him, then meets with Chu who explains that he had to protect the business venture. He asks if Han will now kill him, but Han says he has avenged his brother and will leave it to the police or the families of the murdered Chinese property owners to deal with him, finally warning him that this time "no one will go to jail for you." As he leaves, Chu kills himself.
Han meets with Trish and they share an embrace before walking away together.
Han and Trish were supposed to have a kissing scene, which explains the title of Romeo, but this was met with derision from a pre-screening, with an urban audience.
