Sure enough, not only does Jeff start reading the Bible, but loses interest in the company because he’s "had a transforming experience with Jesus Christ!"

Man of Iron was positioned as something of a follow-up to Boxer From Shantung, the rise-and-fall story of Ma Yung Chen and it reunites the directors and some of the cast in a similar but much slighter tale of a lesser gangster's rise and fall in Shanghai.
