Throughout the film, both characters are driven by personal quests; John seeks a duel with the legendary champion Zorringer (Mickey Rourke) to prove himself, while Colt is on a mission to avenge her brother's death, who was killed in one of these duels. The final scene is set in a remote, makeshift arena where John finally faces Zorringer. The duel is intense, with each participant wearing a bulletproof vest and aiming to knock the other down rather than kill.
