Bernard Herrmann = 5th ruffian.

Immediately after Meng Lo dies, and Feng Lu fights (3 of) the ruffians for the first time, did I hear the orchestral buildup from the Taxi Driver theme?! If not it's a pretty good rip off.
My copy's on VHS or I'd give the exact time it plays... it's around the last 1/4 of the movie.

You mean this sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHfjWLF_UAc

Yes, I heard it and thought precisely the same - not quite an exact copy but very close...I also thought some of the fight music was a little close to the Rocky theme!

Be still Moriarty, do you want us both out of this suit?
