Plot: In the world of the film there are four separate "territories" each ruled by a Dragon (title for a master of the martial arts with almost superhuman ability). Caligo, the main villain, is attempting to kill all four dragons and become the supreme ruler over the four lands. Before the scope of the film Caligo has already killed the Dragon of the East, slaughtering an entire village to do so. One of the two main protagonists, Cunri (Kale Sweeney), lost his entire family in that massacre and as a result harbors intense feelings of revenge. The orphaned Cunri wandered for days and ended up at a martial arts dojo run by Master Shaw, the Dragon of the North, where he was trained and met his best friend Kaia (Shannon Lee Haines). After many years of training Cunri could no longer stand being at the dojo while Caligo was out there and set out on a mission of revenge, a mission to find Caligo. Kaia, being a loyal friend, came along to help.

Quotes:

Gwyn Marcus: I figure marriage is kind of like Miami: it's hot and stormy, and occasionally a little dangerous... but if it's really so awful, why is there still so much traffic?

Matt: Can't you just relax and enjoy the moment?::Gwyn: No, I'm a middle child. I always think the really good moments are happening to someone else.

Matt: Why do you always assume the worst about people!::Gwyn: Statistics!

Nina Marcus: [as she and vic retire to bed, facing passionlessly away from each other, referring to her newly wed daughter and her husband] Right now they are probably humping like rabbits...::Vic Marcus: I sincerely hope SOMEONE'S humping...

Gynecologist: Are you sexually active?::Gwyn Marcus: Oh no!... I mean, of course I am, but, you know, just not... not currently. I'd say that... I'd say, I'm experiencing a dry spell::Gynecologist: So you're married?

Derek: [explaining why he is breaking up with her] Look, it's my fault. I just can't commit to anything in my life.::Gwyn Marcus: Why do you assume that it's you? May be I have a fear of commitment, you know? May be I have the Peter Pan syndrome?::Derek: You can't be a Peter Pan. Only men are Peter Pans.::Gwyn Marcus: Well, actually, most of the great Peter Pans in history were played by women.::Derek: What is that supposed to mean? You're seeing someone else too?

Nina Marcus: [doing some damage control after confirming to Gwyn that she indeed is having an affair as Vic suspects] Listen, don't be so naive. Your father has been unfaithful plenty of times.::Gwyn: Really?::Nina Marcus: I'm sorry. But it's true. Yes. In fact, I think he is still sleeping with his travel agent. Zelda somebody. Sorry.::Gwyn: You counldn't get back at him the old fashioned way? Go crazy with his credit card or something?
