My Lord, Wong Fei-Hung requests to see you.

Master Wong, please wait a moment.

My Lord!

My Lord.

Master Wong deserves to be the militia's chief instructor.

Pardon me... My Lord, I'm humbled.

Just now, I was merely consulting Master Wong over a few moves.

Master Wong's Shaolin stick method surely justifies its reputation.

If available in future, this official will ask for your guidance.

Please, have some wine. Thanks.

Hey, Wong's stick method is nothing but sloppy.

He hit that pine and it didn't even move.

It's said he has tremendous kung fu. Seems like that's nothing more than a rumor.

The men of our court have all been sent to protect the foreign areas.

It's not necessarily safer in here than outside.

If the schoolchildren come in, the White Lotus Society

disciples will take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

My Lord...

Yes, the common people depend upon government officials.

But at this point, even with martial arts, it's

difficult for a lone official without support.

Truly, I'm extremely ashamed.

Ah Foon, come here. Out of the way.

Go away! Don't get in the way. He's still bleeding.

Master hasn't come back yet, what do we do?

Why isn't he moving? Right, why isn't he moving?

Mozart. Mo-zaat? How does that stop bleeding?

No, I'm talking about Western music. There's a consulate nearby.

A consulate?

Beware of candles, beware of thieves.

13th Aunt! Foon!

Let me pee first. Just go home and pee.

Such endurance is liable to damage my kidneys.

Ha! They're damaged enough. Hold it!

Don't run!

You're White Lotus Society. Where did you take the woman and children?

I'm not White Lotus Society. My children are all asleep.

My wife ran off with someone else. What?

Ah Foon, where have you been?

13th Aunt took the children to a safe place. Really?

You're not from the White Lotus Society. Why are you holding a White Lotus lantern?

We intended to buy it to keep us safe. It's safe enough now.

Can we go now? Go!

Go! Hey, hurry up, let's go!

Foon, aren't you taking me?

Did you forget me so soon?

I was just here with a bunch of kids and a very beautiful woman.

But I went out to look for my master. Don't you remember?

Irrelevant nonsense!

Well, Foon? Did 13th Aunt bring the children here?

Yes, a moment ago he let us in, but now we're not allowed.

13th Aunt... 13th Aunt...

I've brought Master here.

Master, he asked us to stand up. I heard that.

13th Aunt, we're waiting for you at the gate.

Master, they're opening the gate.

Hey, why did you jab me? Jab me? Ah Foon! Don't be reckless!

Still want to hit me? Get lost! Don't hit him!

Quick, explain to them. I already told them.

Hey, you put the guns down first. You don't know what I'm talking about, huh?

Stop it! Stop pointing...

Hey... gentlemen, wait a moment.

I'm Lu Hao-Dong. And you are...? Wong Fei-Hung from Foshan.

Wong Fei-Hung? I heard you saved the schoolchildren.

That's right. They're all inside, but they won't let us in.

Just a misunderstanding. What?

Brother Hao-Dong...

Why do foreigners believe in a God that appears to suffer so much?

There's a myth in everyone's heart.

When I was young, I believed in one thing. As a grown-up, I believed in another.

Until one day, I discovered that all myths are lies.

Brother Hao-Dong, why are you always looking

at your watch? Are you waiting for someone?

It's a bad habit an old friend has given me.

He says time is precious. We Chinese waste too much time.

I'm ashamed. I still don't know how to read foreign digits.

I really don't know how to properly keep time.

Little friends, don't come down. Don't be afraid.

Ah Foon, take them upstairs.

They're from the capital foreign merchants and their families.

Attacked by the White Lotus Society, they've

come to the consulate seeking refuge.

They're looking for a doctor. Why don't they ask for Master? Master...

They said someone's hurt and needs a doctor.

They said no Chinese medicine.

Hey, Dr Sun! Brother Wong.

This is... No need for introductions.

He's the friend I mentioned who always looks at his watch.

Oh, 13th Aunt!

Burn it!

The White Lotus Society acting strangely again.

Hao-Dong.

The times are different, which one's right?

Yi-Xian, your watch runs faster. Slower, my watch can't catch up with your time.

Stop joking, let's see to the wounded. Alright.

Foon, we never thought that time was so important.

Of course, you wouldn't understand.

Burn those foreign devils, lest they obstruct the living world.

13th Aunt!

Oh, no... they must have a way of taking her soul.

If they were that powerful, they wouldn't be losing the battle with the foreigners.

They're impostors employing spiritual tricks to deceive the foreigners.

Don't worry about it. Sit down and have a rest.

I'm afraid 13th Aunt will vomit.

We're not riding the steam train.

Hao-Dong... go find Wong Fei-Hung.

Feeling better now?

Brother Wong, Yi-Xian wishes to ask you to lend a hand with the emergency casualties.

Where? Just in the reception there.

Fine, you lead the way.

The attaché said thank you. It's the first time he's seen such miraculous healing.

He says his eyes have been opened in admiration.

Saving lives is important, please don't thank me.

What's the matter? 13th Aunt, stay with me! Don't go!

I'm not leaving you.

The children!

Be careful, Yi-Xian. Crouch down!

The soldiers have locked down the Telegraph Office. We've lost contact with Hong Kong.

So, are we still mobilizing on time?

It's too risky. I want to disband from the capital for the time being, brother.

Let's split up and tell them.

Now only we have the means of contacting the outside.

Only the telegraph inside the consulate remains.

Hao-Dong, you know how to use the telegraph.

Stay here, and keep in touch with the outside.

Yi-Xian, I... I've arranged for your family to go into hiding.

I'm going back to Yungang villa. I'll attend the wedding later in the evening.

If you haven't heard from me by morning, go to.

Shamian pier, take the first boat to Hong Kong.

In order to avoid time-keeping errors, keep my watch on your person.

If... we fail this time, you'll have to persist to the end.

Persist to the end.

Dr Sun, are you leaving? I have something to do.

It's dangerous for you to leave now, I'll see you out. OK, sorry to trouble you.

Don't follow me. Fei-Hung, be careful!

The Eternal Mother helps get rid of demons!

Dr Sun, how will you get out?

Saving people is easier than saving the nation.

It seems we both possess medicine chests, but there are so many people I can't save.

Drive them away!

Dr Wong, farewell.

Lord Governor, we're just catching pigs and killing foreigners.

The White Lotus Society wouldn't massacre its compatriots.

It's good to hear you say that. Negotiating with

foreigners is the authorities' responsibility.

If the authorities had such ability, you wouldn't

have had to carve up so much land for foreigners.

That's right, how can this be?

If you come back here again, I'll take you all back to the court.

Carry the altar away. Yes, My Lord!

You men up there, move away.

Oh, so Lu Hao-Dong is hiding in here.

Brother Hao-Dong.

Go! Yes!

Sam FOOK. My Lord.

Cut down the telephone pole.

I want to sever their contact with the outside.

For a soldier in danger, the world is like a chess game.

We serve the army... men in a world without freedom to act independently.

But, My Lord...

I know. You do as instructed. Yes.

Hurry up and do as the Governor tells you. Go on!

They're harboring the rebels, using collaborators to subdue imperialism.

Raise the altar!

Take action.

Alright. Since everyone here's so righteous, practise with me first.

Now remember, don't move after a proper horse stance. It's called Hanging Horse.

This is called Opening the Horse. Steady and powerful.

Second move: Unicorn Steps.

Third: Hanging Hoof stance. Grasp head, hoop hands, rotate the horse.

Now, watch. Restore Dispersing Hand, Hanging Hoof Horse.

Hang again!

Not bad. Hang just like that for two hours.

Ah Foon!

Grasp head, hoop hands, rotate the horse. How do you use it?

Grabbing Hand?

Yes, I've learned a little bit, but I'm anxious, and don't know how to use it.

Oh, that's simple. I'll make a move, you catch the move.

Watch.

Is that side better? This side's not too convenient.

Foon, what are you doing? What are you doing with 13th Aunt?

I'm just teaching Grabbing Hand.

Oh, so you've even started teaching now? Don't you think I can teach her?

You embrace 13th Aunt, irrespective of her seniority?

Go downstairs! Horse stance for half an hour.

Master, I... Downstairs!

What are you looking at...? Continue the Horse Stance!

I'm going... right away.

What are you doing? Horse Stance.

Is that how you do a Horse Stance?

Fei-Hung, don't be angry with Foon. I asked him to teach me.

You asked him to teach you?

Why don't you call him back up? Go on...

Punished for teaching Grabbing Hand. What happens

if next time I teach her Mongolian wrestling?

You foreign soldiers are all really lazy!

If the White Lotus Society broke in, then you'd see death.

Scaring me to death?

A foreign devil. Wait for her to come down.

Mr Lu! Mr Lu!

Have you seen Leung Foon?

White Lotus Society! Help!

The White Lotus Society is here!

They really came?

Heavenly wind and earthly fire come together

to righteously exterminate foreigners!

Now the White Lotus has come as salvation, to exorcise the evil spirits for the ages!

You go and hide first. Don't run around.

I'll be back soon. Come back quickly, come back.

Come back, FU. Come back quickly.

Who's there? Mr Lu? Yes.

Go upstairs. Go upstairs.

My Lord... Wait and see.

You little demons are toast!

Master's Horse!

Dismount!

Still want to run?

Foon, tie them up. I'll look around, see if any White Lotus are left hiding.

Go in and arrest them. Go on! Yes! Go!

Arrest the White Lotus Society and take them in.

Hurry, go!

What are you looking at? Come on. Someone's fighting out there.

My Lord!

Fei-Hung, Lord YUEN Suet killed the attaché.

Don't interfere.

Search everywhere. Yes.

Nothing!

You inform Sun Wen, tell him to leave quickly.

Fei-Hung... I know you always think of me as your elder...

But I think of you as the man in my heart.

This time, if we're separated, you must bring me back.

It's time to go.

No matter how, you must survive tonight.

So that your generation can see the morning sun. Do you understand?

Ah Foon, you pose as Mr Lu to distract the soldiers.

Then find time to help Mr Lu retrieve his name register from the Salted Shrimp Bar.

I will. Leung Foon, you take this watch.

Go to Shamian pier tomorrow at seven o'clock.

As for the name register, I'm counting on you.

SIU-Gwan!

You called me by my name. The first time you've called me by my name.

Who are you? My Lord, I'm the consulate interpreter.

Go.

Ah Foon, go quickly!

Mr Lu...

Mr Lu? After him! After him!

Lord YUEN Suet. Wong Fei-Hung.

My Lord, I was thinking, catch the leader, defeat the enemy.

I want to directly combat the root, and eradicate the White Lotus Society.

Good. Who's that?

Ah Foon. Master.

Greet My Lord. My Lord.

He was wounded by the White Lotus Society.

My Lord, our success isn't certain.

These children, would it trouble My Lord to take care of them?

OK, I promise. Thank you.

Dispatch troops to protect Master Wong as he goes to CHAOTIAN Monastery.

Yes!

White Lotus disciples, I want to join the White Lotus Society.

The White Lotus altar welcomes its honored guests.

Master Wong, there are so many soldiers guarding the door, how do we escape?

CHAOTIAN Monastery is so big.

If we see a wall, climb it, we see a hole, go through it. We must go, OK?

CHAOTIAN Monastery under burning incense, White Lotus altar echoes throughout China.

The risk ahead is hard to fathom. As long as we're here...

Anyway, we can't turn back. Then, let's go in together.

Maitreya descends to earth to save all living things.

White Lotus descends to the mortal world. All nations are freed from oppression.

I teach the world under grace from above. Open the CHAOTIAN Monastery altar.

First, bring on the new recruits. Ceremonial kneel.

Wong Fei-Hung, Leung Foon, bow before the altar.

Three showers before the altar, cleanse the hearts of evil spirits.

Salute.

Drink the divine talisman, so White Lotus becomes your father.

Different family name, but same as a relative.

Brothers of the same root, inter-generational cooperation.

No divisions between hierarchy, shared suffering tastes sweeter.

Violate this oath, and your bloodline's severed forever.

Drink the divine talisman, become a White Lotus child for life.

Apostates will be struck by the five thunders, the six senses broken.

Master!

Before the altar, disloyalty cannot be tolerated. Drink!

Eternal Mother, urgent as in law.

Spiritual Armour, a body of gold, iron and stone.

A thousand knives denied a thousand cuts. A million knives denied a million cuts.

Spiritual Armour, a body of gold, iron and stone.

No trace of scars, impervious to swords and spears.

Master Wong!

Despicable!

Here's your demon water!

Spiritual Armour...

Wong Fei-Hung, how dare you bring trouble before our altar!

Master Gau Gung's name has long been famous.

But I don't see the real person. How can I, Wong Fei-Hung, hastily follow his teaching?

I demand to see your Master!

The Immortal Grandmaster? How can you meet him so easily?

No meeting? I'll fight my way in to meet him!

WHITE LOTUS

Brazen scoundrel! You go first!

Surround him!

Now it's the final battle, take care of yourself.

Heavenly winds, earthly fire. Eight Diagrams returns to the source.

Surround him!

Let's see how magic protects your body?

God...

Turns out it's all an act of deception.

Spiritual Armour...

Yet more Spiritual Armour?

Master Gau Gung, still not coming out?

It's a lot of hidden fancy tricks, that's all. I've shown your true colours.

Protect the altar...

White Lotus sons, fight to the death! Fight to the death!

I'll fight you, come up anyone not afraid to die.

Our magic broke the umbrella! Charge!

You, stop! If you don't stop, I'll shoot.

You must see, this clay doll can't protect you.

No more superstition. You spread lies to deceive!

You... Brother Hao-Dong!

Come here. I'll shoot you, we'll see who doesn't die.

You step aside!

I have Spiritual Armour, I'm not afraid of your foreign gun!

Spiritual Armour, impervious to swords and spears.

Little girl, you will die. Go away!

At the center there's White Lotus protecting my homeland.

Quick, let's go!

I hit that little girl.

There isn't time to spare. You go first.

Keep away. Look at this crowd.

For a clay doll, they're giving up their lives.

Brother Hao-Dong, let's go!

If every one of us is like this, then how can there be salvation?

Where can I go? I can't go.

Surround them!

Where can we go? We can't go.

Don't let them go!

Emperor Zhen Wu, support your son's golden body.

Spiritual Armour's great display of divinity.

Subdue the demon's magic for the heavenly path.

This is the Emperor Zhen Wu, I command the sons

of Ninth Palace to come kneel and worship.

Brazen Ninth Pa ace, how dare you borrow Dharmakāya

to desecrate this altar... ignorant youths!

Anger the heavens, disturb the people. Let this seat stop you.

If you don't come out, I'll burn my own altar.

The real Master Gau Gung.

Respectfully welcome Grandmaster Gau Gung,

spiritual leader of Southern Heavenly Gates.

Grandmaster of invincible divinity.

Holds the stars, sun, and moon in the palm of his hand.

Grips thunder and lightning on both heaven and earth in his fist.

The Eternal Mother passed on her teachings to her son Gau Gung.

To establish a five-element altar in CHAOTIAN Monastery

and subdue the demon's magic for the heavenly path.

Respectfully welcome Emperor Zhen Wu's whose golden

body has descended to our precious CHAOTIAN Monastery.

Please climb the altar.

Please climb the altar. OK, I'll climb your altar.

Come down and face me!

Rubbish!

Trap him! Come up! As you order.

Always need someone to help? I'm more than enough for you!

Get down!

Raise the altar.

Protect the law. On it!

Emperor Zhen Wu arranged a broken altar. Please climb the altar.

Yuan-Shi Tian-Zun, support your son's golden body.

This rotten altar's for you.

Stay still... How can this be?

You dare to tear down my altar?

Guard the Emperor!

Imperial cloth raises the altar.

It's your own route toward death.

The Four Heavenly Guardians of the Jade.

Emperor. Before the palace, urgent as in law.

Come together to our precious CHAOTIAN Monastery. Capture the Emperor Zhen Wu.

Guardian of the Terrifying Face. Guardian of Compassion.

Little sister.

Call the Heavenly Guardians. Come...

Gau Gung, you've searched the heavens for Gods and Buddhas... are you done?

One God is already enough. You offend heaven's law.

You'll be executed on the spot.

The Guardian moves like lightning.

Heaven's net.

Thirty-three Heavens' powerful turns.

The Southern Heavenly Gates are untenable.

Demon sweep.

Master Gau Gung's divinity is invincible. Grandmaster

subdues demon magic, scares away spirits.

Not going down yet?

Foshan's Shadowless Kick!

Rescue the Emperor!

Divine execution cloth!

I'm not the real Emperor Zhen Wu, I'm Wong Fei-Hung.

True Gods and false demons, can't you figure it out?

Wong Fei-Hung, accept your death!

White Lotus blossoms!

Plant your feet on the ground.

Cheating Gods, swindling ghosts!

Wong Fei-Hung, how dare you commit sacrilege!

Divine protection. Then heaven has no eyes.

Emperor's daybreak!

Your show is over.

You evildoer! You keep saying that a belief in.

Buddhism will see the whole world at peace.

As a result, so many people have died. I want to see how magic protects your body.

There's nobody that can stop me! There is!

Grabbing Hand? Like this!

An iron panel. Turns out his magic is just an iron panel.

Now that their God is worthless, in future they must depend on themselves.

Magic protects the body! Grandmaster!

It makes no sense, how can this happen?

Let's go.

What numbers?

I don't even know what to look at. It's useless giving this to me.

Master.

Good, we're all together again.

It's six o'clock, there's still time.

Hey, where's the name register? Name register?

Shit! I was focused on distracting the soldiers and forgot the name register.

Even now you're still so careless.

I'm going back to the Salted Shrimp Bar. If we go back, will it be too late?

The register concerns human life. I must get it.

Let's go.

SALTED SHRIMP BAR

Brother Hao-Dong, time is short and you still go to the Salted Shrimp Bar?

The name register must be taken away no matter

what. After thirty minutes the ship has to leave.

We must rendezvous with Yi-Xian at Shamian Pier.

You wait.

Ah Foon, go inside and see if Mr Lu is ready. I'll keep a lookout here.

Mr Lu, anything I can do to help? Got it, let's go!

Hey, there are soldiers. Let's hide first.

This one.

Master Wong, this way. Master.

Hurry up!

I'm a dead man this time! Lift him up.

Leung Foon, where are you hurt? Prepare a vigil, it hurts so much!

Fortunately it hit the watch, else...

Brother Hao-Dong! You, face down!

Ah Foon, you lead the way. Brother Hao-Dong, hold on.

Master, this way.

Hey, don't run!

Master, there's a way out. Let's go.

Brother Hao-Dong, what happened? Master Wong, I can't move.

Leave me, you go.

Let me help you. This name register is important.

It mustn't fall into the hands of the authorities.

Otherwise, many of our compatriots will be killed.

Help me in.

This piece of cloth can't burn.

Master Wong, please hand this over to Yi-Xian in person.

Tell him I died for the revolution. He must live for the revolution.

There are bloodstains here. They're over there.

Ah Foon, look after Mr Lu.

Nap-Ian Yuen-Suet?

We meet again.

Arrest all the rebels. Yes!

Don't move. What are you burning?

Wong Fei-Hung, after tonight we'll never again have the chance to compete.

I want to know how much of my four gates stick method you can receive.

Bring it here. Quickly!

Here you go!

Audacious!

The name register? Hand it over.

Foon, do your own thing. You don't need to worry. Don't come over.

Master, you be careful.

Mr Lu!

Nap-Ian Yuen-Suet, didn't you say you wanted to try my stick method?

Wong Fei-Hung!

Come on, then!

Come down to me! Come up!

Get the hell down!

You wanted a duel.

Fucking bastard! You've gone too far!

You want to fight? Why not come down?

Mr Lu!

Time... is most important...

Go to the pier... on time... meet Yi-Xian.

Mr Lu!

Brother Hao-Dong!

Wong Fei-Hung, you have nowhere to go. Come back.

You murdered the British attaché. It'll come out sooner or later.

You have nowhere to go either.

Fine, then none of us will go back.

Ah Foon, that piece of cloth can't burn!

Master! Ah Foon, go quickly. Time is of the essence.

Oh, no! Dead end. Master, there's no way to escape.

Ah Foon, what time is it now?

I haven't learnt to read time, but it's starting to get light.

Yi-Xian, there's not much time.

Yi-Xian must wait for Hao-Dong to get on board.

Wong Fei-Hung.

Ask your apprentice to hand over the goods, so

I have a good explanation for when I go back.

He's not going to let us go. Find a way to escape.

Go quickly go!

Cloth Stick?

Foon, make a way out through this hole.

Foon, very clever.

Thank you very much!

Foon, keep breaking out. I know, Master.

Master, we can go now. Then you take the first step.

Foon!

Shadowless kick.

Master.

All aboard. Hurry up...

Aren't you Sun Wen? Get on board.

Quick, we've found him.

Don't move! Come back to the court.

Out of the way!

Grasp head, hoop hands, rotate the horse.

Master. Fei-Hung!

13th Aunt!

Hao-Dong, he...?

Brother Yi-Xian!

I wish the morning sun would shine on my soil.

Never forget the blood of our martyrs.

Brother Hao-Dong, your spirit will forever be remembered in our hearts.

When you arrive, I'll pick you up at the pier.

Ah Foon, are you missing 13th Aunt?

Master, are you? I was asking you, so why are you asking me?

I think you're now asking yourself.

Really?
