Keoni Waxman said "The movie is a different tone than the previous films – a crazy, violent ‘grindhouse’ style... There isn't as much gun play as Max Con but we wanted to go old school and make a sort of ‘western kung fu movie’ on this one."[2][better source needed]

Synopsis

A crime lord is torn between his legacy and his desire to leave the life of crime that built his empire. A new villain tries to use the town's anti-hero network to climb to power.
