Dux isn't the young "Muscles from Brussels" anymore. To save his son, he must mentor a new underdog—a disgraced street fighter who possesses the raw speed Dux has lost. This echoes the relationship between Master Sun and Alex Cardo from the 1996 sequel. Dux teaches him the "Iron Hand" technique and the philosophy of "dim mak" (the death touch), preparing him for a tournament that is now more high-tech and lethal than ever.
