[Voiceover] Chinese Kung Fu has a long history,

and many factions.

Some stress physical exercise.

Others stress improving the mind.

Eagle's Claw Kung Fu stresses both.

This faction of Kung Fu was exclusive to one school.

Students imitated the behavior of eagles,

in fighting, catching, and hunting their prey.

(suspenseful drum music)

There are seven variations.

The first one, is termed extending.

The second, tempting.

The third, snatching.

The fourth, subduing a tiger.

The fifth, clinging.

The sixth, catching a dragon.

And the seventh, descending.

Ah! Ah!

(laughing)

Chow Liu!

If you keep on practicing like this,

you won't come to anything, even if it takes you ten years!

Chow Liu!

You better go learn how you can cook!

(laughing)

Who wants to learn to cook?

You guys had better just leave me alone.

How's your Kung Fu better than mine?

I can do anything that you can do!

Chow Liu, you better stop putting on the fat

All of us here know that you have very big eyes,

and a big mouth, but no real skill at all.

Huh? Shei Shing!

You.

You shouldn't tease me.

You're no better than me!

All you know how to do is talk about love with,

our second brother.

And then some day your belly will get so big

that you can't fight.

(laughing)

Oh, Chow Liu, you!

Stop laughing at me!

While I can't catch a pail, I can certainly throw it!

(laughing)

What's so damn funny?

Just watch me now!

(laughing)

Come on, you lot.

Let's get on with our work.

Only big brother's kind to me.

If any of you laugh at me ever again,

I'll kick you all to death!

(laughing)

Stop it!

Chow Liu, go and change your clothes.

(laughing)

(foreboding music)

What are you doing here?

Beating you up.

If you're thinking of causing trouble here,

you've come to the wrong place.

Stop it!

Lady.

Why are you beating up our men, without any reason?

What's it to you, then?

I should beat you up, as well.

[Voiceover] Yu Chow!

(dramatic music)

Go and fetch Yang Chung for me.

Old bastard, have you no manners?

No one is ever allowed to utter the name of our teacher!

You kid.

If you dare to call me that ever again,

I'll tear your tongue out with my bare hands!

So that select eagle's tempting.

Not a bad attack,

but you lack the strength needed.

You?

How do you know so much about our eagle's claw?

I know it better than any of you here.

Chow Mow Wu.

So you really came back?

Of course.

I'm the sort of man who always keeps his promises.

It's been ten years,

and now's the time to get matters straight.

(chuckling) I've heard that you are now an officer

of the northern army.

Oh, I also heard that

you were serving with the revolutionaries.

Chow Mow Wu.

Ten years ago, you were a bastard

who caused me a lot of trouble.

And now that you are a traitor,

causing even more trouble to our own dear country,

someone must stop you.

Hmph.

Yang Chung.

We work for different masters.

Today I've been ordered to destroy your Eagle's Claw School.

And I'm taking revenge for myself, at the same time.

Teacher, let me take care of him.

Stay there.

It's not yet your turn to try him.

(laughing) Yang Chung.

You haven't changed your old stubborn character.

All of you stay right where you are.

(yelling)

Come.

Hmm.

That's a good eagle's extending.

Ten years ago, your eagle's tempting,

and catching a dragon, could have really injured me.

Hmm!

But now they are ineffective.

Ah!

Stop it!

Teacher?

Stand back!

Chow Mow Wu.

You've improved a lot during these past ten years.

Just waiting for this day to come, has strengthened me.

But I haven't had an easy time of it.

Mantis fist?

That's right.

I've mastered the deadly mantis fist.

Yang Chung.

Now's the time for you to try it!

Ah! (gasping)

Stop it!

Dad!

Whoever dares to fight him will be kicked out!

Hmm?

Which faction did that belong to, in Kung Fu?

Chow Mow Wu.

I haven't been idle while waiting for you to come.

That one was newly invented.

(grunts)

You'll only make your wound worse

if you try to make good, your escape from me.

Yang Chung.

You were very badly hurt by my attack,

and have got the most fatal internal wounds.

You'll be lucky, if you last out the night. (chuckling)

Hmm.

(gasping and choking)

(somber music)

Uh-huh.

There's no point, wasting your time on me.

Leave me to die.

Dad!

You'll be alright.

Teacher.

Don't talk anymore.

Just rest.

You'll be alright.

You, listen to me now.

Chow Mow Wu

also suffered internal injuries.

You must get rid of him before he recovers.

Otherwise, Eagle's Claw,

Eagle's Claw will, will be gone.

Dad! Please!

Don't try to talk, anymore!

Li Chi, we'll all go!

Right!

Right!

Hey fella!

I've just been told that the old bastard

and his friends are hiding out in Crane Villa,

out in the countryside.

Oh.

Let's go and get the old bastard out of town quickly, then.

Before he has time to recover.

Hai!

Brother Li!

I shall not be going with you.

Chow Liu, I knew that you would not go.

You, coward!

Heh?

Me a coward?

My brother, if you want to get rid of Chow Mow Wu,

you ought to let Teacher decide what to do!

Teacher was hurt by that bastard!

He's now lying in bed!

You want him to decide!

Chow Liu.

Sister was right about you.

You have big eyes, and a big mouth,

but no great skills.

And now we find out you're a coward.

Hmph.

You're not even fit to learn cooking.

Let's go!

Brother Li! Brother Li!

Chow Mow Wu

is now with the northern army.

And, and since he came to our town,

he must have a mission.

Even if you're unable to kill him,

you must try your best to stop him

so that we can continue our work

for our country's own good.

Teacher!

Teacher!

Brother take everyone to Crane Villa, for revenge.

What's that you say?

Ken Sheung.

Go and stop them now.

Quickly!

Quickly.

Sure.

Sister, look after Teacher.

We'll go and stop him.

(slow music)

Master! Master!

The men from Eagle's Claw are here!

You have all come here to meet your end.

None of you all together leave Crane Villa alive!

Our teacher has already been injured by your master.

I'd like to see what else you scum can do.

We're not good at anything,

except our best technique,

of killing people!

Stop it!

Hmph.

You're all very brave.

Old bastard.

Stop trying to be so damn patronizing.

I know that you have been badly injured.

Ha ha ha ha!

You're right.

I'm on the verge of death.

But then, it'll be extremely simple

for me to handle all of you!

The eagle's snatching!

The next one should be the eagle's tempting!

Hmm, mine is also the eagle's claw snatching!

What do you think of it?

(chuckling) I know more about eagle's claw!

Brother!

Stay where you are.

I'm the one they want to kill.

Let's not disappoint them.

You were hurt, though.

(chuckling) But not as bad

as you obviously must have thought!

Do you want to try your luck one more time?

Chow Mow Wu.

As long as Eagle's Claw still survives,

we'll come and get you!

Ha ha ha ha!

I'll be waiting for you.

Let's go.

Master.

Master!

Why do you let them go?

If I did not let them go,

it would have been even worse for me.

Chow Mow Wu

was the biggest thief around

this part of our land.

Ten years ago,

I hurt him very badly.

He came back this time to

take revenge on my Eagle's Claw School.

I know that it's hopeless for me now.

I've been badly hurt by him. (coughing)

Dad!

For the sake of keeping the good name

of my Eagle's Claw School,

before I die I must select

the new leader of the Eagle's Claw School.

By the old rules of Eagle's Claw,

the old leader must be replaced

by the first student of the school.

And this new successor

must take my daughter as his wife

in order to protect the customs of Eagle's Claw.

And so now

I will ask

Brother Li Chi

to take over

the Eagle's Claw

from myself.

Teacher!

It should really be our big brother!

It can't be me!

Teacher!

It should really be our big brother.

Shut up!

Li Chi,

now you are the head of the eleventh generation

of the Eagle's Claw School.

Anyone who disobeys this

will be kicked out of here!

Teacher!

This is our only fifth technique book.

It has two new styles

which I've invented for our Eagle's Claw School.

Eighth style, snatching.

And the ninth style, which has three people.

They are fast,

and deadly styles which have great speed.

You must pay great attention while learning these styles.

Gentlemen!

This way, please.

Brother! That's enough.

You shouldn't drink anymore.

Shut up!

You are not my own master.

Big brother, I'm only thinking of your own good.

Actually, it's really not worth bothering.

Although second brother is now our leader,

He respects you, just like he always used to.

I want to be the head!

Do you hear what I say?

I am the eleventh head of the School of Eagle's Claw!

I am the first disciple there.

And you, you people used to be under me!

And now, because I'm not in love with sister!

They disqualify my chances of being the head man!

And now, I'll even have to be under our second brother!

Hah!

What the hell would you do if you were me!

Me?

If it was me?

I'd drink as well!

Ah! I'm not drinking anymore!

I'm gonna ask our teacher,

ask him to let me be our, our new head man.

Big brother!

You, you can't go now!

You can't disturb the teacher!

Get lost!

Brother Chen! Brother Chen!

Brother Li.

How's Teacher, is he getting any better?

Teacher's already asleep.

He's improved a lot.

Brother Chen!

Brother Chen, listen to me!

Brother Chen!

Get lost!

Brother Li, stop Brother Chen!

He will disturb the teacher!

Brother Chen.

The teacher is sleeping now.

You better come and see him tomorrow.

Keep away!

I must see Teacher!

Brother Chen.

Please don't disturb the teacher.

Who do you think you are, then?

The eleventh head of the Eagle's Claw School?

God forbid!

I will see Teacher.

And no one will stop me!

No, Brother Chen!

Brother Chen, you're drunk.

I'll help you to your room.

I'm not drunk!

I'm sober.

Because I'm not in love with sister,

I can't become the successor!

Brother Chen.

You try and behave yourself!

Behave?

(laughing) I've been behaving too well!

That's why I'm not in love with you.

If you would not mind having me,

then I would marry you straight-away.

Brother Chen, you...

Brother Chen, you're very drunk.

Who says I'm drunk!

I must see Teacher!

Brother Chen!

Please don't disturb him!

Don't you stop me.

Or I'll kill you.

Oh God, it's locked!

I'm the oldest student,

I'm the one to replace you!

Teacher! Teacher!

Why did you treat me like this?

Why did you try to make me leave!

Teacher! Teacher!

Dad! Dad!

Oh! Teacher!

I must kill you!

Sister!

Listen to me.

I didn't mean it.

Brother Chen.

Why did you do this, why did you kill the teacher?

Why did you, why did you, why did you!

Brother Chen.

The teacher stood a good chance of recovering.

But because of you, we have lost our chance,

and now he's gone forever.

Brother Li.

Please forgive him, we're all from the same school.

Please forgive him.

He was drunk!

Please give him a chance to repent!

We cannot punish him according to the rules!

He's killed Teacher, we can't spare him.

Brother Li's our new head.

And if he spares the life of Brother Chen,

then he'll never be able to control the rest of us.

And what about the terrible death of our teacher?

My brothers.

For the Wei Shao who knew I'm useless,

I offer to die on behalf of Brother Chen.

Please, spare him his life!

So that he can help to destroy Chow Mow Wu!

Chow Liu.

Our country has rules, we have rules, too.

Brother Chen.

You must die for killing our dear Teacher.

You'd better kill yourself!

Brother Li!

Please spare the life of Brother Chen!

I beg of you!

I beg of you!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Brother Chen!

Chow Liu.

Don't beg him!

Let's see what they're capable of doing to me!

Brother Chen?

You're crazy!

You think I am?

That's right.

I've killed the teacher.

What are you waiting for, come on!

Come on!

Brother.

Please forgive me for what I'm about to have to do to you!

Stay where you are!

(suspenseful music)

Come on, quick! This way!

Is won't you be telling me all the truth, now?

My Brother Chen, killed the teacher!

And then escaped!

Even if I'm lying, you'll soon know!

That's right.

I will know, sooner or later.

Master.

Yang Chung is dead.

Chen Tien Soon escaped from Eagle's Claw for killing him.

This is a perfect opportunity for us

to destroy Eagle's Claw.

I haven't yet recovered.

And there are only three of you.

We would never hope to destroy Eagle's Claw now.

Master, what do you suggest that we do?

This time we've been strictly ordered to

destroy this Eagle's Claw School within the coming month.

And then turn this Choo San town

into the armory of the northern army.

In order to stop the movement

of these damned revolutionaries, we must not fail.

We must be extremely careful.

Yu Chow.

Take some people and get Chen Tien Soon...

Sir.

You can be sure that I'll bring you back his damned head.

No.

You go and save him,

and bring him.

Master.

Why don't we kill him,

and diminish the power of the Eagle's Claw?

If he joins us,

then it will be far better than for us than to kill him.

I'm afraid my injury won't be fully recovered

before the end of this month comes.

So, if your Chen Tien Soon really leaves Eagle's Claw,

then we can make good use of the opportunity

to destroy their school.

Brother Li!

Brother Li.

Brother Chen, have you found him yet?

Not yet.

I suspect that man's brother

has been trapped by big Brother Chen!

If we can't find Brother Chen,

then we will have one more difficult enemy.

Third brother!

We must get everyone tomorrow

to search for Brother Chen.

At the same time, have Chow Mow Wu kept an eye on

in case they try to attack us.

Come come.

What a shamed place of the elder student

of the Eagle's Claw School to come to.

If you've come here to kill me,

then do it right now.

Today is such a lovely day.

Not a day for killing, or a day for shedding blood.

Lady, what are you trying to say to me?

Don't beat around the bush.

You are not as stupid as your plan pleatly to be, right?

Now, let me tell you that I came to make friends with you.

To make friends?

Lady, you must think I'm really a stupid idiot.

I know that you're not stupid,

and you're not an idiot.

You're very smart.

So very smart, and very, very ambitious.

Otherwise, why would you have killed your teacher,

and become the traitor of the Eagle's Claw?

Shut up!

Well, now.

Did I touch a sore point, then?

You had the guts to do it,

so there's no need to be afraid.

Bullshit!

I'll say it again.

If you're thinking of killing me, then get it over with!

Or else, I'll be leaving.

Chen Tien Soon.

Men, who live in a killer's world,

should not take foolish risks.

My dear sir, you're now a traitor of the Eagle's Claw.

All those brothers of yours, who once loved you,

want to cut you up into very little pieces.

And now, if you don't treat us as your friends,

how long do you think that you'll live?

Hah!

I would prefer to be cut to pieces by my own brothers,

than to cooperate with you lot!

I want to kill him now.

Calm down.

You'll soon have the chance.

(tranquil music)

Brother Li.

You've lost weight, recently.

Now you have to carry the burden of

the future of the Eagle's Claw.

You must take care.

Shing, I will do.

This living

is a very heavy burden for anyone.

Don't worry so much.

If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you.

I'll try my best to solve all our problems.

Chow Mow Wu would have killed you this time.

And he is backed up by the army.

He will try uncanned, to destroy all of us.

And then there's big brother!

Sister, don't talk about it.

Since Teacher appointed me the head of Eagle's Claw,

I have a responsibility to protect us all.

You're going to be my wife.

I'll protect you at all times.

Brother, I...

(patron chatter)

Hah! Brother Chen!

Everyone's looking everywhere for you!

You really shouldn't wander around town like this.

I'm intending to go back.

Why should I try and hide from them, huh?

Why are you going back?

Teacher was killed by me.

I must go back and worship his shrine.

And thank him for teaching,

and looking after me in the past.

Brother Chen.

Everyone's trying to kill you!

Why must you go back, and get yourself killed?

If they want to kill me,

why don't you want to kill me?

I know you were drunk at that time

when you killed Teacher.

Furthermore, you were one who saved my life.

If you didn't come along and save me on that dreadful day,

I would've been killed by those bandits.

You were the one who saved my life,

and brought me into Eagle's Claw.

How will I help them to kill you?

Don't forget.

You're a member of Eagle's Claw.

Hmm, that's right.

I'm a member of Eagle's Claw.

And I don't want to see you die.

So if you get out of Choo San town safely,

I can give my life, for yours.

Chow Liu, forget it.

I'm not the one who saved your life.

I'm the traitor of Eagle's Claw.

Next time, if you see me,

you must kill me.

Brother Chen!

You're a big fool!

Why didn't you fall in love with sister?

You're a stupid fool.

The biggest idiot I've ever known!

Big brother!

Big brother!

Big Brother Chen's coming!

What are we gonna do?

You fool.

Stop that stuttering.

We've been expecting him!

(foreboding music)

Brother Chen.

Our head has ordered us to arrest you on-sight.

Please forgive my rudeness.

Third brother.

You know only too well,

you don't even have the ability to match me.

Real students of our school

will do their best, for loyalty.

Without import for their lives.

What a very good, little student.

I'll help you now.

Brother! Brother!

Brother Chen.

You're trying very hard to be our enemy.

I came back to worship the Teacher.

You are not a student of my father's!

Sister!

I put up with you for too long.

Whoever stops me from worshipping Teacher,

I'll make sure that I kill him!

You, worship Teacher?

It'll be over my dead body!

Whoever tries to stop me,

I will kill him!

Teacher!

(solemn music)

Ay!

Ah!

(dramatic music)

Say!

Fight with me!

Get away!

(suspenseful music)

Brother Chen.

Are you ready to reconsider making friends with us?

I told you.

I will never cooperate with you.

Chen Tien Soon.

If you won't accept what we've offered you, then...

Hmm.

(laughing) Successor.

How could you harm your men like this

when you've just become head?

Lady, this is an affair of Eagle's Claw.

If you try to protect him,

then we're not gonna let you get away with it.

Hmph! Li Chi.

Since you've said that, we shall protect your man.

I don't need you!

If you must kill me, then go ahead.

Brother Chen, I'm sorry then!

Brother Chen!

Chen Tien Soon.

You had better now reconsider.

You are now without a friend

and without your Eagle's Claw School.

And you are surrounded by your old enemies.

As soon as you put one foot out of here,

you will certainly be killed.

Chow Mow Wu.

Why did you save me?

It would be better to kill me.

(chuckling) It would have been better for me to kill you,

but then having a friend like you,

would that not be even better for me?

You want me to help you to destroy the Eagle's Claw?

I'll not do it!

Hah!

Without your help, I can still destroy Eagle's Claw.

Since you can destroy Eagle's Claw all by yourself,

what's the use of getting me here?

Chen Tien Soon.

I know then, it will help you too,

to become the head of Eagle's Claw.

Isn't that even more worthwhile for me

than destroying Eagle's Claw?

Never mind.

You go and think about it.

But then,

never mind.

You go and think about it.

But then, I want to tell you just one thing.

You get nothing, when you're dead.

Yes. I will help you.

Hmm.

You change your mind really, quite fast.

What you said is right.

There is nothing, when you're already dead.

Furthermore, since those men of Eagle's Claw

want to kill me, (chuckling)

I don't need to be kind to them, anymore.

Good. I like intelligent men.

Intelligent men can always live a little longer.

Hmm, but then, I have a condition.

What condition?

You have to teach me your mantis fist!

Chen Tien Soon.

Don't you think that's really a little too much?

No, not really, at all.

The way I look at it,

it means that you're then guaranteeing my life.

At least I can protect myself,

in case you want to kill me later.

I don't need to wait, I'll kill you right now!

You kill me?

Ha ha ha.

You would not stand a chance

up against my superior Eagle's Claw.

And it would badly effect your chances

of completing your mission.

Chow Mow Wu.

Am I right about that?

You shut up, then!

Stop!

(chuckling) Chen Tien Soon.

You are more clever than I originally expected.

Alright.

I shall teach you my mantis fist.

But then, I have a condition, too.

What is it?

I want you to bring me three men from Eagle's Claw,

alive, as a present to me for a new student.

(foreboding music)

What do you want from us?

I come to take you away!

Brother Chen?

He's no longer your big brother from Eagle's Claw School.

We've already hired him to be the coach at the Crane Villa.

Huh?

Brother Chen.

How can you cooperate with your enemy, eh?

Brother Chen?

Take him back.

Brother Li! Brother Li!

Brother Li!

Brother Chen is helping Chow Mow Wu,

and Chow Liu's been taken away by them!

Bah Ti, did you actually see big Brother Chen doing that?

Sister, that bitch even said that they had

already hired our Brother Chen

to be the new coach of the Crane Villa!

Brother Li, let's go save them now!

Let's go!

Stay there!

No one is allowed to leave Eagle's Claw.

Brother Li, what are you doing?

I forbid any one of you to go to Crane Villa.

Brother Li, you're crazy!

If we don't go, Chow Mow Wu will kill them all!

Brother Li.

You are now the head of the Eagle's Claw.

How can you leave them to be killed by that bastard?

You know that I care.

You think about it.

Brother Chen is now on the side of Chow Mow Wu.

Even if we all went along to rescue or friends,

we still may not be successful.

Maybe even more lives will be lost.

Brother Li.

Even if we was to be killed,

we can't just stand by

and let our brothers be killed by them!

Yeah!

Rubbish!

Brother Li, he's right about what he said!

We don't mean to destroy Eagle's Claw!

Or try to weaken him!

Shut up!

You're afraid of death!

You son of a bitch.

You don't care, but we're not gonna let them die.

Everyone come on, with me!

Su Yeh.

If you want to rescue them, you'll have to kill me.

But if you try to leave here,

don't ever think of coming back again.

(suspenseful music)

Hmm, good.

They are really the finest of the gifts for the ceremony.

But then, I don't want them to be alive.

What's the meaning of that?

I want to take the lives of these three men.

And you kill them all by yourself.

Brother Chen!

If you must kill, then kill me first!

Brother Chen!

What's the rush?

Your turn will come.

(foreboding music)

Chen Tien Soon.

I would like very much to work with you.

But then, it depends on you.

Brother Chen.

You once saved this life of mine,

so if you kill me now, I wouldn't blame you.

But then, you must promise me

to spare the lives of both of them.

Please don't kill them.

You have no right to kill the two of them!

Ah!

Brother Li.

I beg of you.

You must go and rescue them,

or it'll be too late for them.

I shall repeat.

Those who want to rescue them, must eliminate me first.

(dramatic music)

Brother Chen.

I beg you please, spare them both.

You can't kill them.

I'll take their punishment for them.

Brother Chen.

You can't commit another crime.

You only have to kill me!

Brother Chen.

I must kill you.

I must kill you! I must kill you!

I must kill you!

Chen Tien Soon?

You should not have stabbed him.

Our brothers are never gonna forgive you now.

Even the Teacher's spirit will not rest

in heavenly peace now!

Brother Chen.

Brother Chen!

(suspenseful music)

Chen Tien Soon.

What are you waiting for?

[Voiceover] Chow Han Liu!

(laughing)

Chow Han Liu! Chow Han Liu!

Chow Han Liu.

Good. Chen Tien Soon.

I'm going to keep my promise now.

I shall teach you mantis fist.

When do you think you'll be ready

to destroy the Eagle's Claw School.

In half a month.

Good.

In this half of the month

I'll teach you half of my mantis fist.

I'll teach you the rest of the technique

when you've destroyed the Eagle's Claw.

So it's a deal.

Master, I think he'll be troublesome.

Hmm. Never you mind.

He'll never be out from under my control.

(somber music)

I have no one to blame for it.

I have no one to blame for it.

Third brother, where are you going to?

Because of Eagle's Claw,

you can stop us from rescuing them.

But then, you can't stop the sorrow we feel in our hearts.

And you can't stop us from taking revenge for them!

Third brother! You are right!

I'll follow you!

Stay there!

Whoever leaves, must be prepared to take the consequences.

Brother Li.

We believe in having good personalities.

But what kind of person are you?

A coward who lives for others?

Or a hero who dies for his brothers?

We must wait here, for them to come and kill all of us?

Listen here.

There'll never be a coward in Eagle's Claw School, so

I'm not waiting here for death.

I'm going to take revenge

even if I die I'll make them pay for it.

Brother Li.

I'm sorry, the Teacher chose the wrong man.

A coward like you is not worthy

of being the head of Eagle's Claw!

Shut up!

It doesn't matter if I'm a coward, or whatever.

As long as I'm still the head,

no one will disobey my orders.

If you don't want to recognize me as the new head here,

then you can just leave.

Once you set foot outside this door,

then don't ever dare to come back again.

Teacher's, and the death of our brothers.

I feel more upset than any one of you,

but we can't lose our sense

because we have lost our loved ones.

We have to think of our faction before the last minute,

and prevent the sacrifice of just one life.

While Chow Mow Wu is ill,

we have the chance to survive long enough to make a plan.

And as long as we all stay together,

then Brother Chen will not be able to harm us.

We must work very hard in the time left to us

to practice our best Kung Fu

of the Eagle's Claw.

All work hard, and we'll destroy Chow Mow Wu,

and all his students before he gets better.

This is called sit.

You need more time.

The eighth stroke.

Double eagle.

The ninth stroke.

Triple eagle.

(spirited music)

Chen Tien Soon.

Why don't you practice at the Villa?

How come all the way out here?

I hate to see the faces of your damn two brothers.

What makes you think that they're emotionless?

Their faces are blank, and expressionless.

They're stupid, that's all.

(laughing) Chen Tien Soon.

Sometimes I find you disgusting,

but then, sometimes you're quite lovely.

What are you doing?

(chuckling) That is was he calls bridge cutting.

What do you imply then?

You want to kill me, then why didn't you carry on?

How could I kill you?

I just wanted to see if he was really teaching me

the real techniques of mantis fist.

Chen Tien Soon.

You're the world's most cunning bastard.

I have never said that.

I am a gentleman.

Hai!

Hmph.

That should teach you never to dare to annoy me again.

Yes ma'am.

You dare to hit me!

You can hit me?

Why can't I hit you?

You shouldn't hit me

because no matter what, I am your sister.

Oh?

You are a human being?

Of course I am.

I am also a human being, just like you.

Since you are allowed to hit me,

then why am I not allowed to hit you back then?

You!

Heh heh heh.

Chen Tien Soon!

You really are a disgusting man!

Heh, but just now you said that

sometimes I was quite lovely.

Hmph!

(eerie music)

What are you doing there?

Do you want to kill me?

Teacher has got excellent hearing, but the wrong idea.

Hmm.

I like the act of killing,

so I must have good hearing, to protect my life.

I don't want to kill you.

I'm glad you didn't want to do that.

(foreboding music)

They won't go to sleep, so long as I'm still awake.

Hmm, your mantis is, is getting quite good.

I have no choice but practice my Kung Fu.

This is our mantis fist.

Now wait. It's called dragon fly.

Remember it.

Thank you Master Chow.

I have taught you half of my mantis fist.

Trust me now.

I'll never forget to do what I promised you.

Hmm, good.

I hope that you're not going to disappoint me.

And you know that I'm still very eager

to be the head of Eagle's Claw.

Chen Tien Soon.

Where are you going?

Going out for some fun.

Yu Chow, keep an eye on him.

Sir.

(indecipherable chatter)

Hey! Mister Chen!

Same girl again?

Same room again?

Ah! Please.

Please.

Chung Ay! Your guest!

Hmph.

Lady?

This kind of place is not the sort of place

for a woman to come to.

Uh, please. Please go away, huh?

Ah!

Ooh! You're hurting me!

Ow!

(foreign language)

Little man.

Can women come to this kind of a place?

Sure, sure. Yes!

Ah! Ah!

I'm looking for someone.

Huh?

A lady?

Plenty of lovely girls.

Ow! Ooh!

Leave me alone! Ah!

I'm looking for one of your guests.

Chen Tien Soon.

Oh lady!

I know Mister Chen, he's upstairs in room number six.

Mister Chen! Mister Chen!

Ooh! Ow!

Mister Chen! Mister Chen!

Oh lady, please let me go!

Lady, lady please!

Mister Chen!

Leave.

Ooh!

You never really waste any of your time,

do you now?

What are you doing here

in this kind of place?

Could it be that our teacher ordered you to track me?

That's right.

We thought you might be up to some tricks.

Hmph.

But then we never thought you'd be here.

Hmm, tell me one man who doesn't like women.

But I've never heard that you were fond of women?

Do I need to tell you everything about myself?

But then, why not carry on?

Seeing you, I lose interest.

Damn you.

How am I worse than her?

Well, I pay them to come to bed with me.

Would you, though?

Chen Tien Soon.

You, you!

You're the most filthy son of a bitch!

Hmph.

There's no need for you to keep on reminding me.

Hmph.

Chen Tien Soon!

Slow down a bit!

Chen Tien Soon.

You've ruined the reputation of Eagle's Claw.

Hmm.

You're very well-informed.

That's because hatred for you, makes me know it.

Chen Tien Soon.

When will you pay for the life of our father?

Hmm.

Don't be so confident.

Maybe the dead one will be one of you three.

Well then, we'll just have to find out.

Don't you get involved.

I'll let them try out my new mantis fist technique.

This is cutting the bridge.

Cutting the bridge?

This is called dragonfly.

Dragonfly?

[Chen] Golden dragon.

Golden dragon.

Chen Tien!

They're memorizing your mantis fist!

Huh?

Let's go.

Why did you save my life?

Hmm.

You said that no matter what, you're still my sister.

(gasps)

Mantis fist's a Kung Fu that's extremely fast.

We have to be very careful.

(foreboding music)

Master. You are now recovered?

Those Eagle's Claw men will regret the day

they lost a golden opportunity to kill me.

Ah. Why are they here?

Are you here for a walk?

Or are you trying to find out our secrets?

Hah.

If I said I was here to try and find out about your secrets,

would you believe it?

Chen Tien Soon.

You're very frank, and very cunning.

But then, I believe that you came out here just for a walk.

You really trust me that much?

You wouldn't've saved my life back there

if you were really still our enemy.

You're clever.

And you're also lovely.

Oh.

You wouldn't be telling me another lie.

I won't tell you any lies.

Uh, are you waiting for someone?

Oh, we're waiting for two ammunition officers.

Do you really think that I am lovely?

Well I like seeing you, very much.

(horse neighs)

You two must be tired.

No, not really.

Please.

Thanks.

Tien Soon.

I hope that you're not lying to me.

Master.

The ammunitions officers are here.

Please sit.

Master.

You two must be tired.

Please sit.

Master Chow.

You have important discussions.

I think I'll go.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

You're already one of our own people.

Please sit down.

Shao San.

What are our instructions?

Master Chow.

The ammunition is already on it's way.

It should be here tomorrow.

That's good.

But then, first of all we must destroy Eagle's Claw School

to better chances.

Chen Tien Soon.

Now's the time for you to fulfill all your promises to me.

Remember, you have to succeed,

there'll be no failure.

Don't worry.

Tomorrow, I shall be the new head of Eagle's Claw School.

Master.

You're gonna trust him now?

Yu Chow.

You said Chen Tien Soon was at the brothel

having fun last night.

Am I right?

That's right.

Do you think that he's the kind of man

who would fool around?

Master. I don't understand.

(chuckling) I suspect that

he's trying to keep in touch with the Eagle's Claw.

Master.

I think he's faithful to us.

I don't believe he'll betray us.

Yu Chow?

Have you fallen in love with him?

I, I haven't.

Hmm, that's better.

If I'm right about him,

then you should be able to find him

at the brothel, right now.

Yu Chow.

Do you know what you should do about him?

Cut his connection.

Chi Pah.

Sir.

You now take some men with you and attack,

and uh, destroy Eagle's Claw.

Sir.

Come.

Master.

Why do you not attack them yourself?

I have my own plan.

Hey, Mister! Hey!

Hi, this way, please.

Aw, there you go, that way.

Hey, again!

Ah, there you go.

Uh, lady, uh.

Are you looking for Mister Chen again?

Yes. Same room.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

I've come to tell you that you should spend more time

planning the destruction of the Eagle's Claw,

instead of coming to this damn place!

Why, Yu Chow.

You really spoil my fun.

The worst thing for a man is,

is being disturbed when he's half-way.

Ah!

Chung! Chung!

Why did you kill her!

I killed her

because you're not allowed to come here anymore.

I killed her, because she deserved it.

I killed her, because she's,

she's only a prostitute.

I killed her, because, you, you,

you're a liar!

Chung!

Yu Chow!

Yu Chow!

What did you mean it?

You haven't learned star number nine of mantis fist.

Diving dragon.

Count, if I pay you back!

What, what the hell is going on?

Never mind.

What's been happening with you?

Chung Hong's dead.

Our connection's gone.

Go.

Pray to the temple.

Yu Chow!

Yu Chow!

Yu Chow.

Yu...

Teacher.

Did you find him this time at the brothel, as I suspected?

Yes.

Teacher.

Where has everyone gone to tonight?

Hmm.

They're attacking the school.

Huh?

Didn't you say tomorrow?

Why did you lie to me?

Because I've never trusted you, right from the beginning.

Do you think that I would be so stupid

as to teach you all of my mantis fist techniques?

But then, you did teach me a lot.

(chuckling) I only taught half

of my mantis fist techniques.

And that's more than enough to save me.

And in this transaction, you've lost such a great deal.

Chen Tien Soon.

A wise man sometimes betrays himself.

I was more seriously hurt by my injury, than you thought.

Did you know that?

So, you are fully recovered now?

That's right.

That's why I must kill you.

Teacher.

He's already joined us.

Why, why do you...

Yu Chow.

Do you not understand now?

Everything has been a trick.

Your teacher were hurt by my mountain technique.

You didn't kill him.

He would have died, in two days.

Anyway, there was no point for you to have killed him.

Furthermore, I would never believe

that a man like you would go to a brothel.

Chow Mow Wu.

You are nothing more than a bastard!

(chuckling) You must use tricks.

And if my estimation is right,

then we must be the very last follow

of the Eagle's Claw School left, now.

I must kill you!

Ah!

I know more eagle's claw, and more mantis fist.

You better be damn careful.

You taught him that one?

I, umm.

Master Chow.

We've attacked Eagle's Claw,

but we did not destroy them all.

I must kill you!

Get away!

Get, get away!

Yu Chow.

You, you bitch!

You must die now!

Teacher.

Forgive me.

He, he's the first man who,

who told me he likes me.

Teacher, I, ah!

(suspenseful music)

Brother Chen has ruined Eagle's Claw!

And if he hadn't killed the teacher.

Traitors!

Third brother.

Don't say any more.

Why can't I speak up?

Brother Li, when it's time to kill Brother Chen,

you must save some time for me.

I must kill him.

Third brother.

You shall never have the chance to kill me.

I'll kill you!

Third brother!

You stop it now!

Brother Chen.

Brother.

That bastard Chow Mow Wu has tricked us!

How's that?

Chow Mow Wu already knew our damn plan,

right at the start.

Brother Li.

What are you talking about?

Third brother.

Brother Chen didn't really kill the teacher.

What's that?

But he, we were all there when he did it!

Teacher died right after he selected the new head.

We were doing this under the instructions of the teacher.

He especially set up this plan.

Brother.

You know, that day when we all went out to the Crane Villa?

I realized Chow Mow Wu was not seriously injured.

So I came back and told Teacher.

And he knew that he wouldn't live much longer.

So he decided that I should go and learn

Chow Mow Wu's mantis fist.

And then, teach Brother Li and sister

so we could fight back.

Chung Hong, who worked in the brothel,

was our only connection.

Brother Chen.

I'm a stupid fool.

I should've known that you were not that kind of man.

Brother Li.

Why did you let me know?

Why didn't you tell me?

This was a very important mission.

It was top-secret.

Once we get the secret out, someone would have killed him.

(laughing)

But then, someone's still going to kill him.

You.

How the hell did you get here?

Chen Tien Soon.

If I didn't have the good sense

and let you out of the Crane Villa when I did,

you'd be dead right now!

You!

What do you mean by that?

Hmph.

You stupidly came here.

And now I can make sure that I kill every last one of you!

Ah!

Ha ha ha ha!

Hai!

I don't think you've seen this before.

It's eagle's claw number eight.

Double snatching.

Hai!

Hai!

Ya!

Ay!

Ah!

Oh! Ah!

(grunting and struggling)

(triumphant music)
