Intro:

(We open on a Hong Kong backlot. A film crew is setting up the next shot. We then see Samantha choreographing her action sequence.)

Samantha (v/o): When it comes to my fighting skills, I leave nothing to chance. I work hard just like my father before me, and will not settle for less. 

(Samantha starts doing one hand push ups as Wu Tang Clan's "Da Mystery of Chessboxin' plays in the background.)

Samantha (v/o): My name is Samantha Leung. I'm one of Hong Kong's most prominent actresses, if not the best! 

(We then see Samantha getting ready as the camera is about to start rolling.)

Samantha (v/o): I've been shooting a movie lately, but something else has caught my attention. Some tournament called Lord of the Underground. I don't know what it's all about, but I'm looking to find out. 

(The camera starts rolling.)

Director: Lights, Camera, Action! 

Samantha (v/o): It's showtime!

Rival Cutscene: Ryoko Sakamoto

(Scene takes place in Osiris' Underground Arena. The DJ announces the next fight.)

DJ: Alright, alright, y'all. We got ourselves a finals bout between a movie star and a school star. Please welcome Hong Kong movie sensation, Samantha Leung! She's going up against high school arcade ace, Ryoko Sakamoto! 

Ryoko: Oh my goodness, it's you! Samantha Leung! 

Samantha: Um…hi?

Ryoko: I'm a big fan of yours, and I've seen all your movies!

Samantha: Thanks, kid. I see you've made the finals, too, especially in a violent tournament like this one. Shouldn't you be at home or something? 

Ryoko: I want to prove that I can fight just as well as you!

Samantha: I was hoping you would ask for my autograph, but since you want a fight, I'll be happy to give you one. 

Final Boss: Osiris

(After defeating Ryoko, Samantha is declared the winner.)

Samantha: That wasn't so bad. 

(Samantha is then approached by Osiris' secretary, a slender female wearing a business suit.)

Secretary: Ms. Leung

Samantha: Huh?

Secretary: He's ready to see you. 

(We then see Samantha entering Osiris' office which is a wide, rectangular office with a view of the New York Skyline in the background. The room is halfway dark, except for the desk as Osiris sits in the dark, concealing himself. Osiris puffs smoke before talking.)

Osiris: Ms. Leung.

Samantha: Who are you?

Osiris: My name is Osiris..I'm a big fan of your work, and I have all of your movies, original and bootleg. *laughs*

Samantha: Bootleg? You mean taken illegally at some theater?

Osiris: Or downloaded off the internet, doesn't hurt me much. 

Samantha: I should beat the shit out of you, you're taking money out of my pocket! 

Osiris: And, you care because? 

Samantha: Because I won't stand for it, that's what! 

Osiris: Is that right? Well let me tell you something..

(Osiris then emerges from the darkness, cigar in hand.)

Osiris: I could give a damn about whether or not I'm taking money out of your pocket. Once it mines, it belongs to me. Just like all your films that got bootlegged. 

(Osiris gets up from his seat, pushing his desk aside. He cracks his knuckles preparing to fight.)

Osiris: Business time starts now!

Ending:

(We see Samantha at the premiere of her latest movie. She is wearing a long pink cheongsam dress. A reporter walks up to her to interview her.)

Reporter: Samantha, Samantha, where have you been since the last few weeks prior to the premiere of your new movie?

Samantha: I've been doing research for my latest movie. 

Reporter: Please do tell. 

Samantha: All I can tell you is that it's gritty, dark, and very violent. 

Reporter: Hmm, seems to me that sounds like an interesting movie I'm looking forward to. 

(Moments later, we see Ryoko moving past screaming fans and is on the red carpet. She makes a mad dash to Samantha hugging her.)

Ryoko: Oh my goodness, Samantha! 

Samantha: Gah! 

Reporter: And I see there's a huge fan of yours on the scene. 

Samantha: She's excited for the movie. 

(Security guards appear as Ryoko makes a run for it. The security guards chase Ryoko.)

Samantha: Wow, that was weird. 

Reporter: Well, that's the latest from the red carpet, back to you, Chip! 

(The screen cuts to black as The X-Ecutioner's "Let It Bang" plays throughout as we see the Lord of the Underground logo. The credits roll as we see the characters in their stages.)
