Tiger Claws II, which was released five years after the original film, follows Chong, Yeung's martial arts serial killer, as he is freed from prison by a crew of thugs working for gangster Dai Lo Fu and transported to San Francisco's Chinatown. Tarek Richards, a police officer in New York City, calls his former partner Linda Masterson, now based in Los Angeles, for assistance after learning about a spate of recent murders committed utilizing Chong's unique M.O., a claw-like mark across the victim's face. As it turns out, though, Chong was innocent of all charges. Criminal boss Lo Fu only has to tap into his energies in tandem with Chong's so that he may send supplies to the ancient Shaolin monks from the future. But in reality, Lo Fu wants to exploit the gateway to bring modern heavy weapons back to Qing Dynasty China so that he can dominate the country by himself.
