Munchkin, starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson as the protagonist.[1] The film also stars Maria Ford, Gary Daniels, Eric Lee, Steven Vincent Leigh and Ron Yuan.[2] The main theme of the film is love between two people whose families are at war with each other (essentially a modern take on Romeo and Juliet). This theme is symbolized throughout the film by a fortune cookie message with the words "Like a mountain lily, love grows on rocky terrain".

Plot
Johnny Woo, a doctor from Chinatown, meets Julie at his aunt's restaurant, when Julie mistakes him for a waiter. The two instantly fall in love and from this moment their fates are sealed. Unfortunately, Julie's boyfriend Chuck and her brother Brad from Little Italy are fighting a gang war with Chinatown, and this presents a major obstacle to Johnny and Julie's relationship. Before long, Julie breaks up with Chuck, but this only causes more trouble. Eventually, a fight is arranged to finally decide the victor in the gang war, to be fought Thai-style with broken glass in a ring of fire. The outcome is tragedy. Relentlessly goaded by Brad and Chuck, Johnny finally agrees to fight Brad in a boxing ring. Faced with defeat, Brad and Chuck reveal themselves as the cowards they really are.
