Kyoto university, Japan

Folks, Japan belongs to our people,

not to the Emperor,

northe military.

Longevityto the people.

The BIack Dragon CIan is coming.

Hurry up, Ietts kick those Chinese pigs out ofthe school.

- Move. - Yes!

Now Iet me explain

the relationship between the gas tank and the internal combustion engine.

Letts Iook at the design of the internal combustion engine.

First, the gas is pumped to the carburettor.

Then, it mixes up with air into the combustion chamber,

and burns in the internal combustion engine.

What are you doing here?

You Chinese, get out!

How dare you do such a thing here?

Japanese schools are forthe Japanese, not forthe Chinese.

Take yourwar somewhere else!

You have no right to do this.

Get Iost!

Are you alright?

Why are you doing this?

Acting Iike a bullywontt make you a man.

Who are you? How dare you speakto me Iike this?

I am Yamada Mitsuko. I am not afraid ofyou. I Iook down on you.

Jerk.

Hey, I dontt care who you are, get out of here immediately!

Get out before I finish counting to three.

One!

Two!

Three!

- Master. - Master.

He is the head ofthe BIack Dragon CIan, Funakoshi Fumio.

Oh, finished so soon?

Didntt I saythat violence couldntt solve the problem? Does anybody doubt it now?

ProfessorWatanabe, please accept my apology.

You should be grateful for his mercy, you could have been crippled.

- Who did you fight with? - He fought with me.

Oh, who are you? Your Kung Fu is quite good.

I am from the BIack Dragon CIan, Funakoshi Fumio. And you are?

You, Mitsuko, why are you here?

Uncle Funakoshi, my pen has been broken byyour apprentice.

You have to buy me a new one.

Hey girl, you know your uncle is very poor.

Does anybody have any money?

Here. Happy now?

You make trouble foryour uncle all the time.

Are you not worried nobody will marryyou when you grow up?

Dontt you worry about me. Chen Zhen is all I need.

Chen Zhen?

Hello, I am Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men.

- Jing Wu Men ofShanghai? - Yes.

- Then, Mr. Huo Yuan Jia... - Huo Yuan Jia is my master.

- Really? - Whatts wrong?

Nothing.

I just received a telegram from Shanghai, China.

It says that Huo Yuan Jiats been killed in a challenge match.

The opponent was Akutagawa Ryuichi,

from our Hong Kou Arena of BIack Dragon CIan.

This is impossible.

I am sorry.

- Itts true. - Excuse me, sir.

Master Huots death is a very great Ioss.

Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen!

- Where are you going? - To Shanghai.

I have to find out whatts going on with my master.

Your master cannot have been killed bythe Japanese. Itts impossible.

Stop the occupation ofChina.

Free Shanghai!

I warn you. Ifyou are gone fortoo Iong, I wontt wait foryou.

Chen Zhen.

Will you come back?

Ifthey Ieave China, I will come backforyou.

But the Japanese military in Oing Dao is there to fight with Germany.

You have to understand, Oing Dao is Chinese territory.

Japan and Germany are both invaders.

Chen Zhen,

do you hate the Japanese?

I dontt know.

Mitsuko, in this day and age, you and I have no choice.

PIease take care!

Chen Zhen.

Sir, money, money!

I dontt have any.

Money, money...

Sorry, I dontt have any change.

Really, I dontt have any.

- I tell you, I really dontt have any. - Go, go away!

- Good morning. - But I am not Japanese.

Sir, you arentt Japanese. Thatts great.

PIease have a seat.

- Sir, where do you want to go? - Jing Wu Men.

Jing Wu Men? Are you going to Iearn Kung Fu?

Yes. Can you please hurry up?

Learning Kung Fu? You better not to go to Jing Wu Men.

Everybody in Shanghai knows Jing Wu Men used to be number one.

But they are the worst now.

Do you want to go or not? I can take another one.

Yes, go, go, Ietts go.

Ifyou pay me, ofcourse I will serve you. Hang on!

Hang on.

Letts go!

JING WUMEN

See, even Hua Yuan Jia has died.

Jing Wu Men has no future.

Think about it, I can take you to another Kung Fu school.

This one doesntt have a future.

Chen Zhen.

- Itts you. - A Biao.

- Let me help you. - Thankyou!

- Are you...? - Chen Zhen, from Jing Wu Men.

Jing Wu Men will have a bright future. Youtll see.

What? What are you waiting for?

- Chen Zhen. - Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen.

Master Ni, this is myfatherts mourning hall.

Ifyou want to challenge, Ietts do it outside.

Master, are you alright?

Master Ni, thankyou foryour modest gesture.

Brother Huo, I am not as good as you.

Myvictorywasjust Iucky. You came from far away, you must be verytired.

Ifwe have a chance next time, how about I payyou a visit?

Have you finished your schooling?

Anyway, you are home.

Uncle Nong.

I didntt want you to quit school, so I didntt have them tell you.

How did you hear?

Even Japanese newspapers have reported it.

Those Japanese must be satisfied now.

Oh, Ietts go to Kowowto myfatherfirst.

Hold on, what is this?

Chen Zhen isntt from the Huo family, how can you give him a mourning suit?

Uncle Nong, Chen Zhen has been brought up by myfather,

he is no different to us, and is part ofthe Huo family.

- But... - PIease.

Before the match,

Dadts asthma was really bad.

I tried to talk him out of it manytimes,

but he wouldntt Iisten to me.

TOLERANCE

Go to Kowow.

Are you out ofyour mind? The sign ofTolerance was written byyour master.

- You... - Uncle Nong.

What Chen Zhen did is right.

The foreigners have been dominant and tyrannical in China,

because we Chinese have tolerated them for so Iong.

I swear, as Iong as I, Huo Tingten, am in Jing Wu Men, Itll be tolerant no more!

I am going to Iookfor Jiechuan.

Chen Zhen, followthe rules, you should send him a challenge proposal.

Itm going there in person. I dontt need a challenge proposal.

- Chen Zhen. - Chen Zhen.

Hong Kou Arena belongs to the Japanese, even the police can do nothing with them.

Ifanything happened to you, what would become ofJing Wu Men?

Even your dad couldntt beat them.

- Uncle Nong, I... - Listen,

your dad asked me to take care ofyou, I cannot Iet you make a mistake.

A Lun, AXiang, have some ofour people go with Chen Zhen.

Ifanything happens, Iet me know immediately.

Yes. Follow me.

- Hello. - So busy.

- Whoa, very nice card. - Get out, get out.

Captain, there is a call foryou.

Who is it? Hello, this is Jie Yuankui speaking.

What? Nong Jinsun?

Things are reallythat bad?

AIright, I am coming over now. Move, Ietts go to Hong Kou Arena.

Two, three, four.

- You idiots. - Like a bunch ofgirls.

Take a break.

Who are you? How dare you step in with your shoes?

I am Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men. I am here forAkutagawa Ryuichi.

Chinese arentt allowed to come in here. Get out!

This is the Iand ofChina, and Chinese can go anywhere theywant.

Go to hell.

Itm not interested in fighting with you.

Call your head master here.

I am going to have a fair match with Chen Zhen.

Ifanything should happen, neither side is allowed to take revenge.

My master used our Huo Fist to fight with you.

I will use the same.

I can see very clearly now, you could never win a match with my master.

Master, Master.

No one is permitted in Hong Kou Arena, except for Japanese.

Are you sure itts not a mistake? Dontt get me into trouble.

I saw Chen Zhen going in there with my own eyes.

Yeah, we did, too.

Look, Chen Zhen is coming.

- Are you not Japanese? - I am not.

Salute!

- Whatts going on? - Nothing, nothing.

Mr. Fujita, Mr. Ambassador, just a misunderstanding.

- You better not make trouble here. - Right.

Patrol one, go back.

Chen Zhen, how did it go?

- I won. - Yes, great!

Go to Iet Tingten and Uncle Nong know, and have them tojoin me

- at Masterts graveside. - OK, Ietts go.

- Master Huots grave isntt finished yet. - Even better.

- Be careful, slower. - Yeah, right.

Pull!

It stinks.

Why does it smell so bad?

Doctor, go ahead.

- I am a doctor, not a pathologist. - Let me do it.

Which part do you need?

I need the Iiver ifyou want me to checkfor poison.

What are you doing?

- Jie Yuankui, what are they doing here? - Autopsy.

- Why haventt you stopped them? - Brother Nong, Chen Zhen

is one ofyour Jing Wu Men, I have no right to stop him.

But, you...

Chen Zhen. How can you mess with Dadts corpse?

I challenged Akutagawa, there is no way he could have won.

I suspect Masterwas poisoned to death.

Jie Yuankui, do you suspect Master Huo was poisoned?

Akutagawa hit Huo Yuan Jia and he vomited blood,

and a Iot of people there sawthat.

See. Do you thinkwe are all blind?

What?

Uncle Nong, Itd rather be disrespectful and do unfilial acts

in orderto find out the truth.

Ifyou want to stop me, then kill me first.

Tingten, the...

This is toxic. Itm sure he was poisoned.

Who the hell did it?

This question is Ieft to you to find out.

Come on, help here. Letts put Master backto rest first.

Yes.

Itts what I said, Master couldntt have been defeated bythe Japanese.

Right, I dare those Japanese to be cocky again.

Thatts right, Chen Zhen came backjust in time. Orwe wouldntt have known about it.

I dontt understand. How could Master be poisoned?

Master had so many events out there, and itts easyfor someone to poison him.

Before the match between Master and Akutagawa,

Master meditated for a month.

- He didntt go out for socialising at all. - You are right.

Then the poisoner must be someone from Jing Wu Men.

What?

Xiao Hui.

Were you the one taking care ofMasterts meals?

Yes. Whatts wrong?

Uncle Nong.

- You arentt suspecting Xiao Hui, are you? - No.

Itm thinking, except Xiao Hui, who else handled the food foryourfather?

I do! I take care ofall ofJing Wu Ments food.

Do you suspect me?

AXiang, go to checkthe kitchen. See ifthere is anything poisonous. Go!

Uncle Gen, please dontt be mad.

None ofyour business. Go. Do you hear me?

Go and see iftherets anything poisonous in my kitchen. Go, go.

Uncle Gen, please dontt be so mad.

Ifyou dontt check, I could die inexplicably.

Tingten, whatts going on?

Uncle Nong is questioning who poisoned dad. Uncle Gen thinks we suspects him.

- I didntt saythat I suspected him. - Good.

Then dontt eat my cooking from now on. I have been here for so manyyears,

Master Huo was brought up eating my cooking.

Nong Jingsun, how dare you accuse me of poisoning him?

AIright, alright, Ietts eat, eat.

- Chen Zhen, the food has been poisoned. - Master ate with us together.

Ifyourfood killed Master, we would all be dead by now.

You have a head on your shoulders. Nong Jingsun, did you hear it?

- Suspecting me. - Uncle Gen, Ietts eat.

Well, those Japanese may be a problem. Letts finish our meals first.

Letts eat.

Tingten, I am going to go see Dr. Smith.

His examination will show what poison was used.

- Examination? - Yeah, chemical examination.

JING WUMEN

- Have you ever seen this Kung Fu training? - No.

- Thatts great. - Awesome.

- Can you do it? - No way.

Chen Zhen, Itve never seen you practice before.

- Are you going to teach us the Huo Fist? - Ofcourse. Come on, now.

- OK. Come on. - OK. Letts go.

Fancy moves may not be effective.

You cannot stubbornly resist changes to training while Iearning Kung Fu.

There is only one goal during a fight: thatts to defeat the opponent.

In the meanwhile, it requires reaction, speed and power.

Actually, the simplest attackworks the best.

Ifyou are hitting somebody, first you have to Iearn to bearthe hits.

Thatts not true. We have to beat them down before theirfirst move.

Ifyou dontt have a powerful punch, it doesntt matter ifyou punch him 10 times,

hetll still be alright.

But if he hits you with a powerful punch, you wontt be able to take it and youtll fail.

Sister, they have both come here to Iearn Kung Ku.

Can I ask if master Chen Zhen would teach us Kung Ku?

Yes, we want to Iearn from master Chen Zhen.

The head master ofJing Wu Men is Huo Tingten.

I cannot guarantee Chen Zhen will teach you. Leave ifyou arentt interested.

What form is it?

- Four-Iegged form. - Four-Iegged form?

Why Iooks Iike a dead horse? Show me a kick.

Kick Iike that would not have enough power.

Therets a side-kick in Japanese Martial Arts.

AIthough itts simple, go on, but itts quite speedy and powerful.

- Chen Zhen, show us. - Yes, show us.

- Good, Ietts do it. - Come on, get ready.

- AIright, Ietts do it. - Yes, come on.

Really powerful.

- Are you alright? - He is alright. Good, beautiful.

Pump the powerfrom your entire body and kick sharplywith the flow.

XIAO HONG

- What do you want? - Dontt go.

- Itts getting Iate. - I want you to stay.

I am the head master now, I must go backthere.

When your dad was alive, you said you didntt dare to stay over night.

Nowyou are the head, what are you afraid of?

Ifsomebody saw me staying here, theywouldntt Iisten to me anymore.

I dontt believe you. Who dares to rebel, my Tingten?

PIease, stay. Can you?

I have to take off before dawn.

I need to know every move ofthese people.

Why do you monitor Japanese?

There are always some idiots who are ignoring the current situation.

Sorry. I am Iate.

Mr. Akutagawa, have you Iost your mind because youtre scared ofChen Zhen?

You dontt even know howto knock on the door?

I wanted you to rest. I didntt want you to attend the meeting.

I onlywant to ask one thing...

Whether our military chiefofficer has heard about the autopsy of Huo Yuan Jia.

- AII ofyou can get out now. - Yes.

What is it? What thing cannot be revealed?

What?

Are you the one who had others poison him?

The Japanese Empire today, in terms of economy, technology, industry,

and military strength, is way in advance ofChina.

We had hoped that yourwarriors

would destroythe Fist of Legend ofChinese Kung Fu.

Too bad, all ofyou have always disappointed us.

We stepped in because we were compelled to do so.

Shame on you!

There can never be too much deception in war.

This suits you military people, and it doesntt suit us warriors.

That match between Huo Yuan Jia and me shouldtve been open and above board.

Unfortunately itts been spoilt byyou, dirtyjerk.

You are not worthy ofthe spirit ofthe Samurai.

Let me tell you what the spirit ofthe Samurai is about.

To best serve the Japanese emperor, forget about right and wrong.

Even ifyou go down in history as a criminal, you still refuse to reconsideryour actions.

Yourway isntt right. Let me showyou howto do it right.

Uncle Nong, according to the result from Dr. Smith,

the Iate masterwas poisoned chronically with a drug that damaged his Iungs.

When he fought with Akutagawa, he couldntt take a heavy hit.

Do you thinkthere is a traitor within our Jing Wu Men?

What exactly do you want, Chen-Zhen?

Uncle Nong, what do you mean?

Youtve been back onlytwo days, the fellows ofJing Wu Men

now see you as their idol.

But have you even thought about how Tingten feels?

About what?

From day one, what you have done, you never discussed it with Tingten first,

but made your own decision. Have you evertaken him seriously?

You are verytalented.

PIease remember,

Tingten is nowthe only master ofJing Wu Men.

Itts Iate. I am going. Take yourtime to think about it.

- Chen Zhen, going outjogging? - Yeah.

Such a hard worker.

Master Chen.

Master Chen, you are outjogging so early.

Look, all of myfellows have come.

Master Chen, Master Chen!

- Theywant to to Iearn Kung Fu from you. - PIease dontt follow me. PIease dontt.

Master Chen!

We got up Iate.

Sir.

MasterAkutagawa is dead!

FfNaturaljustice doesnftaccommodate the murderer. Chen Zhen.ff

Hold on. Stop. We cannot solve the problem with violence.

General.

Letts go.

Morning, Master.

Where were you Iast night? Why didntt you come back?

- Where is Chen Zhen? - He wentjogging.

Let me knowwhen he is back. Itm going backto our room.

Everyone, the Japanese are coming right behind me.

Hurry up, come out.

Master.

- Those Japanese... - Calm down.

Something is wrong. Go askthe police for help.

- Whatts the matter? - Where is Chen Zhen?

Chen Zhen? I dontt knowwhere he is.

He could possibly be beating up Japanese.

He feels uncomfortable if he doesntt hit a Japanese everyday.

Hold on.

Shame on you, Chinese. You murdered our MasterAkutagawa.

You are who you are. Japanese, the evil person complains first.

Bullshit.

You dontt turn Chen Zhen in today, we wontt Ieave.

You came here well prepared, I realise you wontt Ieave.

CIose the door!

Protect the spirit shrine ofthe Iate master.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Shoot these Japanese.

We are here to stop the fight.

Put your swords away.

AIright, you better Ieave now.

What? They cannot be Iet offthe hook.

Nobody injured. I say Iet it go.

We wontt Ieave. We want Chen Zhen!

Sakamoto, would you Iike to follow my advice?

You dontt qualify.

Chen Zhen!

Dontt move.

AII ofyou stand still. Dontt move.

OId man, I dare you to shoot me.

I dontt dare, but I am afraid the gun would misfire.

I will shoot whoever moves. Take Chen Zhen backto police station.

Letts go.

- Why do you take Chen Zhen? - Akutagawa was killed yesterday,

I need to take Chen Zhen back forthe investigation.

- I didntt kill him. It was not me. - Take him!

Go!

Back off. Back off.

Itll shoot ifyou dontt back off.

This way, come on, sit down. PIease sit down.

PIease dontt worry. Mr. Jie is in charge ofthis case.

He said everything would be fine.

Hey, why are you wearing a uniform?

I am sorry, Nong, I have been transferred out ofthat department.

This case is no Ionger under my control.

What? But Chen Zhen...

- Fate will Iead him. - Hey, hey!

Court!

Captain, you said you have witnesses.

How manywitnesses do you have?

Yes. We police have fourwitnesses.

They have claimed theywitnessed Chen Zhen commit a murder.

Liar. Where did theyfind those fourwitnesses?

I saw Chen Zhen in person, and all of us knew him by sight.

I saw him stab the knife and chop the Japanese to death.

He was using a big knife.

- Are you sure itts him? Are you sure? - Itts him.

I am sure itts him.

Can you tell me how many fingers do you see?

Nine?

No, no. Six?

Why dontt you move closer so I can see clear?

Never mind.

They are trash. They are not trustworthy.

I didntt kill anyone.

I was in Jing Wu Men bythen. My students and fellows can testifyfor me.

Your Honour, the fellows ofJing Wu Men and Chen Zhen are brothers,

so they dontt qualifyto be witnesses.

What are you talking about? That doesntt make sense.

Silence!

Excuse me, sir, shetsjust arrived.

Your Honour, I have a reliable witness.

Your Honour, I think a Chinese witness isntt trustworthy.

Mywitness is Japanese.

His witness is Japanese.

OK.

Miss, please identifyyourself.

My name is Yamada Mitsuko.

Myfather, Yamada Mistook, is the minister ofJapanese Education.

According to what Chen Zhen said, he was at Jing Wu Men all night Iong,

Miss Yamada, do you agree with his testimony?

Chen Zhen is Iying.

That night, he was in my hotel room all night.

He neverwent out at all.

- The entire night? - Yes.

What ifChen Zhen sneaked out while you were deeply asleep,

howwould you know?

Therets no way I wouldntt know.

We both Iay in the bed and didntt sleep forthe entire night.

Ifyou didntt sleep, what were you doing then?

We didntt sleep.

You tell me, what else could we do ifwe were in bed and awake?

- Hey, what did she say? - I have no idea. Do you?

- She said Chen Zhen slept with her. - Really? Are you sure?

I find these proceedings ridiculous.

Besides being a waste of mytime. Case dismissed.

Congratulations!

Letts go!

- Go! - Letts go!

Their national hero, is nothing but a sexfiend.

- How did you make it here? - I have given up everything.

You have to take care of me for Iife.

Cooking for her? No way! Dontt even think about it. Go backto Japan.

Chen Zhen, your master sent you to Japan

foryou to Iearn Japanese newtechnology.

Knowing oneselfand your opponents, then you will know howto deal with Japanese.

Dontt forget Masterts wish because ofa Japanese woman.

We, Jing Wu Men,

dontt want any misunderstanding that we have a deal with Japanese.

Chen Zhen, you belong to Jing Wu Men.

You shouldntt be with a Japanese woman.

Chen Zhen, am I causing you a Iot oftrouble?

Itts alright.

Chen Zhen, a man shouldntt worry about getting a wife.

Once you indulged yourself in a crazy affair, you would Iose the status of hero.

Do you really preferto ruin your Iife just for a woman?

Uncle Nong, Mitsuko has come here and given up everything just for me.

She testified with a Iie in the court. How can I Ieave her alone?

Maybe Japanese women always behave Iike sluts.

In our Jing Wu Men,

itts impossible to allow a Japanese woman to stay here.

You choose,

eitheryou break up with her,

oryou shall Ieave Jing Wu Men.

Master, clearlyyou want to kick Chen Zhen out of here.

What are you saying, Liu Zhensheng? Are you with the Japanese side.

- What? Dontt bullshit me. - What bullshit?

Look at you, you are more and more Iike a rascal.

Ifyou say it again, I will beat you to hell.

You both quit fighting.

AII ofyou shut up!

Chen Zhen, ifyou insist on acting this way,

Jing Wu Men is soon going to break down.

I have no heart to see any internal conflict.

So now,

the only solution is between you and me,

and who will be the head master ofJing Wu Men.

- Itve neverwanted to be head master. - I dontt care what you have wanted.

As a matter offact, most ofthem would Iisten to you ratherthan me.

I want to have a match with you.

If I Iose, you will be the head master ofJing Wu Men.

Ifyou Iose, you shall break up with her immediately.

Master, take him down! We dontt want a Japanese in Jing Wu Men.

Stop saying that, he is our Chen Zhen.

Master, kick him out of here.

Master. Master.

Master, are you alright? Are you alright?

Is everything alright?

I Iost. You are nowthe head master here.

- Master. - Master!

I dontt want to be the head master,

and I will not Ieave Mitsuko.

Ifyou want me to make a choice,

I choose to Ieave Jing Wu Men.

Do you want to go back to Shan Dong Province?

Itts a mess there. My mother is ill.

Mitsuko, you wait for me right here.

- Hi there, do you have a room available? - Yes, we have. PIease follow me.

Come here. They have a room.

What? Japanese? I dontt have a room for Japanese.

She is mywife, can you please make an exception?

- Is that Chen Zhen? - Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men?

He is a Iascivious traitor.

Go away. Leave.

Go, we dontt want you to stay.

You better Ieave now.

Dontt mess up my business. Go, please.

Chen Zhen, Ietts Ieave.

HUO YUANJIA GRAVE

Mouse, there is a mouse.

There, overthere.

Mouse?

- Where is it? - It was herejust now. Really.

Maybe itts gone.

A place Iike this, ofcourse mice are running around.

Oh, I am scared ofthat mouse. It irritates me.

Actually, the mouse Iived here first,

and we then came here to irritate them.

Well, maybe you are right.

Sorry, I feel so bad having you stay in such a place.

I feel this is a good place.

Look, the view outside is so pretty, and itts actually nicerthan a motel.

Why dontt we do this, I will take you to another place.

Are you really going to give up Jing Wu Men?

Jing Wu Men gave up on me.

Suddenly Jing Wu Men dropped off my shoulder,

- I feel more relaxed. - This is not you.

Why?

You are Iying to yourself.

You would feel alone without Jing Wu Men.

How are you able to relax?

Chen Zhen is a Iiar. Mitsuko knows.

Do you?

- Have a cup oftea, Uncle Nong. - OK. Thankyou.

- Why dontt you eat? - I have no appetite.

Hasntt Tingten come backyet?

This must be hard for him. Tingten has never had a setback since he was Iittle.

Itts really hard to face that he Iost to Chen Zhen. Master is very stubborn.

I am afraid he isntt coming backto be our head master.

If he doesntt, who else could take over?

The Mizong Fist of Huo family is never passed on otherthan to family.

If he wontt take it over, who is going to inherit the Mizong Fist and keep it up?

- Who has been teaching Kung Fu recently? - AXiang and A Biao.

Ifanyone comes to challenge us now, what are we supposed to do?

My motherwrote a Ietterto me, that Jing Wu Men offended the Japanese.

She asked me to Ieave here.

What? Are you going to Ieave?

I dontt knowwhat to do.

Dontt worry. We are in British territory, the Japanese should behave better, right?

You Chinese really Iike to be wasteful,

one table of people are eating two tables offood.

Whatts going on?

I want to meet the head master ofJing Wu Men.

It isntt up to you who you can meet. You can tell me what you want.

The number one warrior ofour BIack Dragon CIan, Mr. Fumio Funakoshi,

proposes to challenge your head master.

What do we do?

We need to find our master.

Useless. I saywe get Chen Zhen back. I knowwhere he is.

You want that traitorto fight the Japanese?

- Hey, stop talking bullshit here. - He is a traitor.

Stop. Enough is enough. AII you do is argue and fight.

Go find Master and bring him back. Go, hurry up!

- Uncle Gen. - Uncle Gen.

AXiang.

- Where did Master go? - How could I know?

Whatts going on, uncle Gen?

Stop pretending. Whatts going on with my son?

Uncle Gen, Ietts talk about it tonight.

You told me you would release my son if I poisoned him.

Man, your son committed a murder in Shan Dong province, itts not that simple.

But you promised me.

I didntt promise you. The Japanese promised you.

My daughter-in-Iaw said that my son was killed by Japanese in prison.

Let me tell you something. You have already done it,

and you didntt do it for nothing.

You got the money, and we are even.

You didntt hesitate when you tookthe money.

Ifthe Japanese have promised you, your son should bejust OK.

Dontt go on about it anymore.

You guys said those drugs wouldntt kill Master Huo.

If Itd known things were going to go so wrong,

I would have Iet my son die ratherthan Master Huo.

JING WUMEN

Help! Help!

What happened?

Go find more people here. We need help.

Letts get Uncle Gen down. Come on.

We found this under Uncle Gents body.

Whatts it?

Itts crocodile meat that Tingten asked to be brought backfrom Singapore.

Itts for curing asthma.

Listen!

In Jing Wu Men, only Master Huo ate this meat.

Really?

It Iooks Iike he killed Master Huo with poisoned crocodile meat,

then he committed suicide because he felt guilty.

Since hets dead, please dontt spread the word anymore.

It would ruin our reputation if people knowwe had a rat here.

Jing Wu Men is going down whetherthere is a rat or not.

Chen Zhen has Ieft, and Tingten has vanished as well.

I sayyou betterfind someone new to take over as the head master soon.

Jing Wu Men has gone down Iike this,

I dontt know howto face the Iate Master Huo.

Captain, what should we do now?

You are Ieading the team today, why do you ask me?

PIease instruct me, Captain.

Take the crocodile meat for a chemical test.

We are taking off. Letts go.

Can you please try again to find Tingten?

AIright. Take it easy.

Miss, could you please tell me who you are Iooking for?

May I ask if Nong Jinsun, Uncle Nong, is here?

Yes, please follow me.

Uncle Nong, this Iady is here foryou.

- You are... - Uncle Nong, Tingten is at my place.

Itve tried to talkto him, but he wouldntt come back.

I think maybe onlyyou could convince him.

Where do you Iive? Can you take me there?

- Dizzy Star House. - Is it a brothel?

How Iong have you known Tingten?

Two years.

He must spent a fortune on you.

PIease dontt worry, I will Ieave him.

Uncle Nong, please dontt misunderstand, Tingten isntt as bad as you think.

As a matter offact, he wants to rally Jing Wu Men.

He even told me he could make it betterthan his dad.

Itts true. Uncle Nong, please help him.

Go away. I want to kickthem. Let go of me.

Master.

A Sheng, A Biao, Ietts go home.

Since youtve come here, is anything wrong with Jing Wu Men?

Hong Kou Arena wants to challenge Jing Wu Men.

I want you to come back and discuss it with me.

What about Chen Zhen?

People wouldntt appreciate it if itts Chen Zhen. You are the head master.

Well, never mind. Letts go home.

Wait!

I will go backwith you.

Are you confident to take the challenge?

Even if I Iost, I wouldntt Iet others Iooking down on Jing Wu Men.

Hold on!

What will you do with her?

Do you reallywant to Ieave her here?

You arentt fairto her.

- A Lun, go bring the Madam here. - OK.

I want you to ransom her out of here.

Xiao Hong, are you readyto give up those pretty clothes?

I am so happy I can dress Iike you.

These clothes seems a bit small on you. Itll find another one foryou tomorrow.

Itve checked.

Fumio Funakoshi isntt only the number one of BIack Dragon CIan,

but also the number one in Japan. But dontt you worry, hets getting old.

- Uncle Nong. - Uncle Nong.

She Iooks very good, doesntt she?

Right, nowyou can use your maiden name, Sulan.

Ifyou both could keep an open mind towards Mitsuko, that would be even better.

Thatts different. Mitsuko is Japanese.

Tingten, onlyten days to the challenge match. PIease practice hard.

- Thanks! A Biao, come here. - Coming.

A Min, take these back inside.

You are taking such good care ofTingten.

I take care ofeveryone.

Is Tingten the best one in Jing Wu Men?

Yes.

What about Chen Zhen?

They are both the same, equally good.

Master, I am sorry.

- Are you alright, Master? - I am fine.

Come on, Ietts do it again.

Whatts on Masterts mind? Why is he scared?

BLACKDRAGON CLAN

Mr. Funakoshi, Itve delivered your challenge proposal to Jing Wu Men.

I want you to understand one thing.

Who I will challenge Kung Fu with, and what I will do, is no business ofthe military.

AIIow me to remind you, all ofthe expenses of BIack Dragon CIan in China

are paid by our military.

It doesntt matter.

You can cut back BIack Dragon CIants budget from now on.

I dontt thinkthe Chairman, Mr. Oshima, will agree with you.

I tell you, dontt threaten me with the Chairmants name.

I am just a head master in Martial Arts. I am not a politician.

CHALLENGEFROFOSAL

You are up so early.

Good morning.

Mr. Funakoshi?

Uncle Funakoshi?

Mitsuko, how do you Iive so far awayfrom town?

- Itd have hired a carriage if Itd known it. - Has myfather sent you here?

Yourfather is very busy, and I haventt seen you for a Iong time.

Why are you here then?

- Itts for him. - Chen Zhen?

- Have you two married yet? - Not yet.

Arentt you two Iiving together?

We want to get married,

but neitherthe Chinese northe Japanese would approve it.

Luckilyyou haventt married yet.

- If hets dead, you wontt be a widow. - What did you just say?

Ifyou are the one who dies, I will take your ashes backto Japan.

Kid, are you reallythat confident?

What? The two ofyou are going to have a match? Chen Zhen, why didntt you tell me?

Men dontt have to tell everything to women.

Chen Zhen, this way.

Tell me, what should be the most powerful punch?

Itts about focusing the bodyts energy to one single point, thatts it.

Itts really powerful.

But Itve never seen the rock that would hit back a human being.

How can you name that the most powerful punch?

Whateveryou say, shall we try it now?

- So, tell me what is the best defence? - Itts offence.

Itts betterto use the energyto attack ratherthan waste it to defend,

and to punch the opponent powerfully with the shortest time.

According to what you said, the Huo Fist is the same as Karate.

They are the hard core style.

You arejust saying it but not understanding it?

Energy is wasted ifthere is no softness in the hard core,

and attack is inefficient with hardness in the softness.

Powerwontt exist without both elements.

Sir, what have you taught your disciples?

Has your master evertaught you about controlling your anger in a match?

Kid, you are going to suffer a Iose ifyou act Iike this.

My master nevertalked as much as you. Are we readyto start yet?

Wait!

Hold it.

An old man Iike me needs to warm up.

- What style is that? - Whatever, itts a good one if it wins.

Are you alright?

I am fine.

I wontt take any advantage from you.

We shall stop.

Are you alright?

Itts very rare for a young man Iike you to be so skilful and talented.

Itts astonishing for an old man Iike you to have such power.

Itve heard that Chinese have a saying, "the fist fears the strength ofthe youth."

Itts so true.

But Itve Iost.

I adopted the theory that youtvejust told me.

The Chinese Martial Arts always emphasise on self-discipline

ratherthan strength.

Youtve broadened myviews.

The objective ofa match is to beat the opponent.

Wrong, young man.

The best wayto beat the opponent is to use a gun.

The ultimate goal ofMartial Arts is to maximise onets energy.

Ifyou want to achieve this ultimate goal,

you need to understand the soul ofthe universe.

I must go. Take care.

Arentt we fighting in a match?

Only animals fight.

We are at a draw.

However, I cannot represent all ofJapanese.

There are so many supreme warriors in Japan.

Mr. Funakoshi, arentt you the number one warrior in Japan?

Everyone says Mr. Funakoshi is the best.

But they referto his self-discipline and dignity ratherthan his expertise in killing.

Mr. Huo Yuan Jia,

I didntt expect you to have such a good disciple.

The number one in Hong Kou Arena now

is the so-called killing machine, Fujita Gou.

Young man, you take care.

Youtve Iost!

I am impressed, your chess skills have improved so much.

Too bad, Iife isntt as easy as a chess game.

Afewyears ago,

Dr. Sun Yixian was best friends with our BIack Dragon CIan.

Today BIack Dragon is rotten,

itts more and more Iike the military,

and theywant to conquer China.

Conquer China?

Those idiots arejust day-dreaming.

They are notjust day-dreaming.

Currently, the Japanese armytroops in China

are more than half ofthe military strength in Japan.

I knowthis, but Japants situation now is Iike a very strong ant

that wants to bite a sleeping elephant.

While the elephant is asleep,

the ant has an advantage.

Ifthe elephant is awaken bythe pain, even the strongest ant can neverwin.

However, I think China, the elephant, is still asleep.

Therets more than one ant aiming to bite it.

It will wake up.

Right! Too bad.

Most ofthe Japanese wontt believe you.

In the past decades,

Japan has made huge profit from everywar,

and Japan is ambitious to become a big empire.

Just Iook at General Fujita, Japan has got fartoo many people Iike him.

With things being Iike this, the war isntt avoidable.

You are back.

How are you?

- Is Chen Zhen around? - He isntt backyet.

PIease have a seat.

- PIease have a cup oftea. - Thankyou.

- Have you Iearned Chinese? - Yes, a Iittle.

You speak it verywell.

Chen Zhen, you are back. Mr. Huo is here.

Howts it going? What have you been up to?

Itve had ajob in the telegram bureau.

- Do you want to give up Jing Wu Men? - Itts not an issue anymore.

Even if I am not in Jing Wu Men,

myjob can also be meaningful.

How about coming backto Jing Wu Men?

Itve brought Xiao Hong back to Jing Wu Men.

The one from Dizzy Star House?

- You haventt met her, have you? - Congratulations.

You can bring Mitsuko back to Jing Wu Men.

They are willing to accept Xiao Hong, but not Mitsuko.

Because she is Japanese.

Mitsuko sacrificed herselfforyou, so she is obviously a good woman.

What would the others think?

If I bring her backto Jing Wu Men, it would cause too much trouble.

I cannot be selfish.

Itve Iearned a fist style Iately.

- What style is it? - Let me teach you.

- This is Iike Huo Fist. - Right!

Itts Mizong Fist of Huo Style.

But Master has said that Mizong Fist is onlyforthe Huo clan.

The Mizong Fist isjust one ofthe Fist Styles.

The only difference is it was created by my dad.

Chen Zhen, please promise me.

Itll be in a challenge match at Hong Kou Arena tomorrow.

Ifanything happened to me, please inherit this fist style and teach it to others.

The more people who Iearn it, the better.

Iam sorry., lhave decidedto leave.

There are things in life more importantthan love.

Withoutme byyourside, you can do a lotmore.

Keepyourpromise.

When the Japanese military.returns to Japan,

lfllbe waiting foryou in Kyoto.

A Lun and I will go there.

Tingten, I am worried. Maybe you should bring more men with you.

Theywill be fine.

Iftoo many people go, the Japanese will thinkwe are afraid ofthem.

Right.

Itll be back.

Xiao Hui, please take care of her.

Tingten!

I speak Japanese, Itm coming with you.

Letts go.

The two ofthem are going together, theywill bejust fine.

General, Mr. Funakashi Fumio has Ieft Shanghai earlythis morning.

He is a stubborn old man!

Hets an enemy ofthe military since he wontt collaborate with us.

- Send news to Tokyo. - Yes!

General, shall we cancel the challenge match with Jing Wu Men?

No. We cannot rely on BIack Dragon CIan for everything.

- Itm going to personally handle this matter. - Yes!

Itts good that the two ofyou are here.

Mr. Huo, I have good news foryou. I have found the murderer ofyourfather.

Come out!

He was bribed.

He poisoned all ofthe crocodile meat that you brought home.

He is the one who betrayed Jing Wu Men.

Itts alright. Take him away.

- Go out! Dontt come in without my order! - Yes.

Everyone out!

WEAKMEN OF EASTASIA

Ifyou Iose, Itll give this sign to you, and ifyou beat me you can destroy it.

Take it!

- Can you walk? - Yes.

Dontt move!

Hets dead.

Mr. Ambassador. The General Fujita is dead.

Police. Dontt move or I will shoot!

Dontt move. Take it easy.

- Are you OK? - Itm fine.

Freeze!

Youtrejust the police ofthe British territory. You do not enforce the Iaw in here!

I am not a police officer. I am a Chinese man, you jerk!

I will take Chen Zhen and Huo Tingten with me.

What are you talking about? Do you thinkyou can Ieave here?

Dontt move! Stop moving!

Nowwetll see who gives the orders in my country.

Stop it!

Stop! Everyone hold yourfire.

I thinkwe need to resolve this issue in a peaceful manner.

General Fujita is dead.

Itts not worth the waste ofany more Iives.

- Lieutenant. - Yes.

- Remove your men. - Sir?

Lieutenant, I am the highest commander here now.

- Are you going to obey my order? - Yes!

Attention. Move out.

Mr. Jie, a Japanese General is dead,

and I need to knowwho the murderer is,

or I have no wayto report to my government,

and the Japanese militarywontt Iet it go.

Do you mean that if I dontt die,

Japan will declare warwith this excuse?

Fine, then I will sacrifice myself.

Great. You truly are a hero.

Back off, back off. There is nothing here.

Back off, back off. Dontt blockthe way.

This person Iooks Iike Chen Zhen.

Have they really killed Chen Zhen?

SEALED BY COMMAND OF SHANGHAIFOREIGNDISTRICTBUREAU

Why did the British make a concession to the Japanese this time?

Itts not a concession. The British and Japanese are working together.

- They ganged up to bullythe Chinese. - Right, they are.

Chen Zhen was truly a hero.

He punched Hong Kou Arena Iike a piece ofshit.

Fantastic!

Too bad he died too young.

- Whatts the matter? - Nothing, nothing, Ietts go back.

Howweird.

I cannot believe AXiangts the culprit.

We both were so nice to him.

Hets the scapegoat for Chen Zhen, he finally did something good.

Chen Zhen, where are we going now?

Which part ofChina is fighting with the Japanese?

- The Eastern three provinces. - Well, Ietts go there.
