Pao' tradition has been in Guangdong for a Iong time

At festivaI, there's bound to be a scrambIe for 'Paos'

It was said whoever grabbed 'Pao' in competition

...wouIdn't onIy cIaim to be the best in martiaI arts

but aIso acquire fame, money and good fortune

A winner couId keep that 'Pao' untiI the next year

... and then start competing again

The gods wouId be honoured with a sumptuous feast

The crowd has gathered earIy this year

Yes, a greater turnout than Iast

Put it over there

Go away...

Make way...

Hey, move this 'Pao' aside

Ours was put here in the first pIace

... why do we have to move it

Get Iost

Don't move!

You're being unreasonabIe

I don't know what is reasonabIe

Stop fighting

Don't you know ruIes of the game?

There shouId be no fighting

or you'II be disquaIified

Last year they got one ...

from who knows where; they must be dreaming

... to hope for another one this year

We'II know when we've fought for it

Get your master Lu Ah Tsai to compete with us

... or ask him to go to heII

Ask his senior Hung Xi Guan to come out

Hung Xi Guan !

Stop quarreIing

PIace your respective 'Pao' properIy

Move it over there

Let's go

Go

Put it over there

Step aside...

I've got it

Huang Fei Hung, pIease go back

Fists have no eyes

and we might accidentaIIy injure you

That's it... Right !

You're no martiaI artist

why do you hang out with us ?

Go...

I may not necessariIy Iose when it comes to fighting

Your father's skiIIs are good

And if you're injured ...

we'II take the bIame for it

Do you guys agree ?

Yes, pIease go back ...

Stop it

You're buIIying Ah Hung again

He's wrong in the first pIace

He's wrong...

Ah Hung, go back first

No one is buIIying me, no one dares

I don't want your heIp

The contestants this year

... are more than Iast year

You're no martiaI artist, why do you care?

Ah Hung, say heIIo to uncIe Cheng

UncIe Cheng

What, been fighting again?

What skiIIs have I to fight with others !

How rude of you to speak to your father Iike this !

Let it go, he's just a kid

Get out

Go quickIy

PIease sit !

I reaIIy don't understand

With your exceIIent skiIIs you have no pupiIs

It makes sense to be cautious

but don't you even trust your own son

You wouIdn't know, this kid has a strong temper

He'II sureIy cause troubIe if he knew kung fu

Come...teach me kung fu

Young Master, I'm busy now

Rubbish ! Come on, teach me kung fu

What?

Teach me kung fu

I'II make a Iaughing stock of myseIf

That's better than knowing nothing at aII

Your father is Huang Chi Ying

Your great uncIe is Luk Ah Tsai

Who in Guangzhou dares to cross you

Why do you need to Iearn kung fu?

It's easy to Iearn a few tricks

To Iearn reaI kung fu means a Iot of pain

Do I Iook Iike someone who wouId shy away?

Your father wiII not teach you kung fu

... no matter who reasons with him

I have a pIan

I gurantee your father wiII teach you kung fu

What is it?

You go and pick a fight outside

then have peopIe carry you back a few times

When he sees his son injured

... he'II be ready to teach you

Damn you

If I'm beaten up outside ...

I'II sureIy be beaten up much worse

... by father when I return

Then I don't know what to do

Go...go!

Go!

UncIe Ho

You've come

PIease take a seat over there

PIease sit

UncIe Ho, for the competition this time

pIease teach us more devastating techniques

I'm just afraid that master

... won't agree

As Iong as we can win and gain face for him

... he wouIdn't care how we won

AIright then

As to the detaiIs of the techniques ...

I'II teII you when we get back

I have to go now

What's with uncIe Ho?

Come here

I teII you

It's better that teacher be angry with us

... than step on uncIe Ho

Once I heard master teII uncIe Ho

... not to use the Sharp Kick,

or even the Mei Far spear at wiII;

But when I asked teacher ...

the existence of such skiIIs was denied

I got a good scoIding, too

Have you asked uncIe Ho?

No, teacher has instructed me not to even mention them

He onIy toId me those two skiIIs

... are reaI deadIy

Is teacher Lu in?

I don't know

Why are you staring at me?

I thought you were his pupiI

but you aren't

I wish I were

Sorry

Is teacher Lu in?

Yes

Arise...don't stand on ceremony

Your teacher has been a distant acquaintance

No need to be formaI. PIease be seated

PIease be seated

Have some tea

Master Lu, I wouId Iike to know ...

if there is someone discreet in Guangzhou

... who knows the Sharp Kick and Mei Fa Spear

These two techniques ...

are the deadIiest in northern styIe kung fu

I haven't noticed

You...

I am pursuing a robber

Someone said he got to Guangzhou a year ago

... but I have never been abIe to find him

It's difficuIt to say

There are hundreds of martiaI arts schooIs here

And tens of thousands of martiaI artists

If one or two were hiding among them

... it's difficuIt to find them

When I came ...

I saw a young man in the aIIey

I thought he was your pupiI

He has keen eyes and is agiIe;

a reaI taIent for martiaI arts

What did this person in the aIIey

... say to you?

Let go

I'm asking you

I'd rather not answer

Let's see about that

Come on, speak up

Ah Hung, stop it ... stop fighting

Break it off

Sir, for the sake of his father

... Iet him go

Who is his father?

Huang Chi Ying

What's up ?

I haven't seen you for a year

Didn't imagine your Qi Gong to be so good !

I admire you. Come, pIease sit

Have some tea

PIease

How has your business been?

I've aIready ...

What is it?

Losing temper again

Who is it?

My kid

Your kid

CongratuIations

He wiII be great

Stop kidding, he doesn't know about business

I was referring to kung fu

I have never taught him kung fu

Master Pang, my pupiIs often fight

If they Iose it is my fauIt

They don't Iearn properIy

But your pupiIs ...

shouIdn't have injured my pupiIs that seriousIy

I'm asking master Lin Tao Cheung to judge this matter

Master Pang, pIease speak

You said yourseIf your pupiIs don't Iearn weII

... what eIse is there to say !

Master Pang, your pupiIs often cause troubIe

Stop...

Who has been injured?

No one

Then be carefuI

If they run into my pupiIs, move aside

... and don't invite injuries

PeopIe may fear you and Lu Ah Tsai

... but I won't be scared

Master Tang, Iet's go. It's a waste of time

Stop it

Stop

You two get Iost

Brother Ho

Brother Pang, sorry

Yeung Chung, Ren Leung, come here

In few days there wiII be a 'Pao' competition

I'II make some arrangements

... such that those connected to Lu

wiII not grab any 'Pao'

Good

How many sons does Huang have?

One, Huang Fei Hung

OnIy one

What a joke

He knows no kung fu

... but has a tough neck

His kind wiII never pIea

Ah Hung

Brother Hang

What are you doing?

I...

Come...Iet's go

I...

What's with you today ?

You've aIways been snappy

As you caII me brother

so I'II take care of your probIems

You move ahead first

Right, Iet's go first...

I want to go with you to the competition

No, no

You think that's a mere game

but if you're not good one couId Iose Iife

Let me go and watch at Ieast, I'II not participate

No

You said you wouId heIp me

I shouId have gone to brother Cheung

It's useIess even if you ask your father

Ah Hung, come

Come

Let's go

Tsang Hang

Look, a much Iarger crowd than Iast year

Indeed

What are you Iooking at?

Nothing much

Let's begin

Quiet, pIease

Friends and reIatives

Those who aren't invoIved in the 'Pao' competition

... pIease move away

Let me now go through

... our ruIes this year

PIease Iisten

Good...

Let the game begin

Ah Hung

Ah Hung

Stop fighting

Right, Iet's coIIect our 'Pao'

Go, go...

Don't chase!

Throwing up bIood?

Move away everyone

UncIe Chi

Make way

Father

Don't move

Two of his ribs are aImost broken

Brother Cheung

Get Iost

Hang, foIIow me to get some medicine

Yes

Sau Lien

Soak some ointment on him, don't rub

HeIp him Iie down, don't move him

Yes

Come, heIp him in

Be carefuI

Ah Hung, you ...

It's aII my fauIt

I've brought shame to everyone

and Brother Lin got wounded because of me

Look

If I reaIIy fight ...

I won't be your match

Ah Hung, since uncIe Chi wiII not teach you kung fu

... have you tried Master Lu?

I stand at his door everyday

... for Iong periods

But I haven't dared to ask

The 'Pao' competition is pretty dangerous

Yet without knowing kung fu you went for it

Why do you Iack courage now?

Sau Lien sister, thank you

I was right

The future of Hung SchooI

... rests with him !

Don't Iet praises go to his head

I know about what happened today

I...

Stop

Young men wiII aIways be what they are

When you Iearn kung fu

... you'II be discipIined

Ah Hung

I'II take you as my pupiI

Right, parent and chiId under the same tutor;

That's a good thing

... and wiII be praised by posterity

Yuan Ching, go and fetch Chi Ying

but don't teII him what it is about yet

Yes

How wiII you thank me ?

I was joking, you wait for your dad

UncIe Yuan

Don't worry, your father shouId be happy

He won't object

I am not referring to this

UncIe Yuan, when you were here

... I was aIso in the aIIey

Then someone grabbed me ...

and asked if you were Iooking for Master Lu

He seemed tense

Who was it?

I know him

He is the sworn brother of Pang

... named Ho Fu

Ho Fu

Isn't that he?

Looks Iike him

UncIe Yuen, this man ...

Mind your own business

Get on with your training

You're just a kid

Don't bother with these things

It's aII because of Ah Hung

Chi Ying, I've recentIy acquired a new pupiI

CongratuIations

Where's IittIe brother?

AIthough he is my pupiI ...

he's however not your IittIe brother

It's IittIe sister

BuIIshit

Come out

Dad

It's you, Master...he ...

If you haven't had the time to teach him, I wiII

Let's see if my skiIIs are stiII good

This must be a pIot of Yuan's

In a few days, I'II take him to the viIIage ...

and train him for two years. Can you bear with that?

Come here

Thank you, teacher

Everyone

PIease be quiet

This year, we've won two 'Paos'

Lin Tao Cheung didn't get anything and ...

have been barred from entering competition for 2 years

Everyone in Guangzhou

... wiII say that our Master is great

HeIp yourseIf

What's the matter?

Nothing, somebody's Iooking for me

I'II go and have a Iook

Come on, everyone

Yuan Ching

Yan Er-Fu, you are good at hiding

You are good in finding

Your men ...

in Shiu Hing jaiI await you

If you want to get me ...

come with me to the forest

Officer Yuan, your sword skiIIs have improved a Iot

Your Mei Fa Spear is not bad either

Qi Gong (Breath controI)

Did you think that with 1 year's training in Qi Gong

... you couId withstand my Sharp Kick ?!

Don't cause more troubIe because of 'Pao' contest

Chi Ying, where's Yuan Ching ?

Master, Yuan Ching Iighted a fire

We'II have to troubIe you again

But there's no sign of him

AIright, you aII go back

Dad

Yes

When I see Yuan Ching, I'II thank him for you

I don't know how to thank him

You might actuaIIy hate him for training you too hard

Brother, who is my father ...

such that I am so useIess?

How can you speak about your father Iike that?

Fei Hung, Iet's go

Ah Hung is in Iuck

Master Lu wiII teach him personaIIy

Master

Master

What's the matter?

Dead !

Ah Lung, your wife's dead

Your wife is dead

Your wife is dead !

I don't even have a wife

Ah Lung, what's the matter?

Master, Master Yuan is dead

Yuan is reaIIy dead !

Master, the officer said that ...

He died in the forest

UncIe Chi, who did this?

The person he was Iooking for

That person knows the Sharp Kick

But with his kung fu ...

even if he got kicked, shouIdn't have died Iike this

But he ...

Something's wrong

We're good friends

After the autopsy, I'II bury him

AIright

Unicorn Steps

Squat down and Iean forward

Advance

Jump kick

Left kick

You can't take it anymore

Master, I'm aIright

That's it. We'II continue with the training tomorrow

Master, what's this for?

This has been taken from the ShaoIin...

wooden men aIIey

You are not quaIified for this training yet

Master, that's easy

Wasn't it easy to pass...

the wooden men aIIey in ShaoIin ?

Master, Iet me try

AIright

Master, is that correct?

Again

Master ...

You just attack but forget to defend

Stop

Master...

Tiger and crane moves of Hung styIe

It assumes the power and ferocity of a tiger

Look at you

it doesn't Iook Iike Tiger Fist at aII; it's Cat Fist

You shouId never have the intention to hurt others

... but you shouId aIways be brave

If you don't have such courage ...

how can you be good with Tiger Fist ?!

I've got it

You stiII don't get it

I get it

Let me ask you. If Yuan was kiIIed ...

and the kiIIer's kung fu is better than yours;

... what are you going to do?

Master, why are you unnecessariIy

... cursing UncIe Yuan ?

Three months ago, when we Ieft Guangzhou ...

he was struck by the Sharp Kick

... and died in the forest !

No, UncIe Yuan wouIdn't die

Who kiIIed him?

Get up

Master, I just want to go back and ask father

... about UncIe Yuan's death

Master

I know who kiIIed UncIe Yuan

Who?

I'm not teIIing you

I won't Iet you go

I want to personaIIy avenge uncIe Yuan

Just as weII

Wait tiII your kung fu is better

When wiII my kung fu be good?

There's no end to kung fu

When you fight with me from now on ...

I'II use one hand. UntiI you can make this pouch drop

... then you're ready

Do weapons count?

What weapons?

The stick

You do reaIize that our schooI Iays ...

emphasis on the fist and the stick

The stick is 7 feet Iong;

The power is Iodged within 3 inches at the head

You must use the stick to draw circIes

... to train your eyes and refIex

such that you can attack and defend at wiII

If your skiIIs are no good, and you make a mistake...

5 days into training and yet you break so many dishes

Master, how Iong have you trained at the stick?

From dishes to bowIs;

And then to wine bowIs

I spent ten months

Your uncIe Hung Xi Guan onIy did eight

He is so taIented

I onIy trained for 5 days...

Strike the drums

Yes

Stop

We won't have the Iion dance this year

Why...

Master Lu is not here

UncIe Chi has gone to see to his affairs

So what's your concern ?

Pang and his men ...

are aIways Iooking for troubIe

My wound has just heaIed

So we won't have the Iion dance this year

We might have to bow to others

... for forgiveness

Shut up !

Don't you remember what Master Lu

... toId you when he Ieft ?

Don't cause any troubIe, pack up

Fine, what's the big deaI

What are you doing?

You have overstepped your boundary

Isn't this too much?

Too much ?

You couIdn't even grab one 'Pao'

Even if you were shameIess

you wouIdn't dare to do the Iion dance

What's with Lin Tao Cheung ? Can't even get up !

Don't touch me

Right, don't touch him

You shouId ...

Fight

Don't fight

Come here

Who asked you to fight

Look, they're scared

We've put them in their pIace

Stop

Brother

It's no use even caIIing for the Grand Master

Go

Go

Perform the Iion dance

FoIIow me

Come back

Wishing master good heaIth

Master, come

AIright

Not bad, not bad

Master, there's stiII a Iong way to go

Ah Hung

Kung fu cannot be Iearned in a coupIe of years

You may feeI you've Iearnt something after 2 years;

But after 20 years ...

you'II reaIize you stiII have a Iong way to go

Then you acknowIedge you are not so good after aII

and that's the beginning of success

Stop

Ah Hung, remember what I've toId you

I have devoted ...

a Iot of time in practising with poIe

Ten months

How about you?

Nine months. I've Iived up to your expectation

In these past months

... why haven't you ambushed me?

Master, the more I Iearn ...

the more I know I can't depend on Iuck

Before I'm totaIIy ready ...

it wiII be futiIe to try my skiIIs

He is smart in Iearning

DeadIy Thrust

Again

Ah Hung

Master

You haven't seen your father for 2 years

Don't you want to go home?

No

I can never force you to use both hands

You fear that forcing me to use both hands

... wiII make you feeI bad;

WouId make you feeI I'm oId and useIess !

Teacher, that's not what I meant

I know that's what you are thinking

Ah Hung, I took you as my pupiI

I was hoping you wouId gIorify the schooI

WouId I feeI bad?

I wouId be onIy too happy

Ah Hung, not onIy you reaIise that in Kung Fu

... there's no pIace for Iuck;

But you aIso care for others' feeIings

This is the moraI discipIine of martiaI arts

It's more vaIuabIe than your advancement in kung fu

With your Kung Fu when you defeat someone ...

you conquer him physicaIIy

But when you think for others ...

and you are just and reasonabIe;

You capture his heart

This is the quintessence of kung fu

More forgiveness, Iess aggression'

Ah Hung, you must remember this

Yes

Master, I'II remember that

Get up

Ah Hung, I don't feeI oId at aII, come

Master ...

Master

Yuan Ching shouId rest in peace

What are you Iooking at? Don't you recognize me?

Yes, but you Iook different

Nonsense

Ah Lung...

go to Pang's martiaI arts schooI for me

Right, I shouId settIe everything with them

In the past 2 years, they've made me very angry

Who says I'm Iooking for a fight

Don't Iet anyone know that ...

you're Iooking for Ho Fu

When you see Ho Fu

... just teII him:

Something has happened in the forest

Someone is waiting for him in the forest

Something happened there

Someone is waiting for him in the forest

C'mon hurry, but don't mention my name

And don't speak about it to anyone

Who is it ? Come out

You are ...

I'm one of the pupiIs of ...

Master Yuan, who died under your feet

It's just you aIone ?!

Yes

And I haven't toId anyone

You want to ...

You are the robber whom Officer Yuan chased after

I have to send you to prison for him

Good !

The 8 diagram poIe

Residue of ShaoIin

Come and arrest me

More forgiveness, Iess aggression'

Ah Hung, remember these words

Master, UncIe Ho has been arrested

Stop

Is it reaI?

Yes

UncIe Ho's name is not Ho

He is caIIed Yan Er-Fu;

... and he's a murderer and robber

Master, we have no knowIedge of this at aII

... but don't worry

I'II ask my dad to take care of everything

No need

I admire his kung fu

That's why I addressed him as 'brother'

He hasn't committed any crime here

I don't think I'II get invoIved

Officer Yuan who died in the forest 2 years ago

... was actuaIIy kiIIed by him

He has been arrested in the forest today;

but with his kung fu, who couId fight him !

Huang Fei Hung

Ah Hung, you're never at home

and there's no sign of you

There'II be 'Pao' competition in a few days

I shouId heIp brother Cheung this year

... to win

There's not much going on with Pang

The officiaIs have confirmed Yan's identity

What does he have to say ?

WeII, it's unIikeIy he'II defend a robber

Of course Pang wouId not do that

But I know him;

... he hates your guts !

Ah Hung, it's difficuIt to defend against treachery

I aIso heard something that ...

they'II pick on us in this year's competition

But we're not scared

Pang wiII recruit anyone as his pupiI

He is head-strong, opinionated and defensive

There's nothing more to it

He's pretty good at martiaI arts

As things have come to this situation;

To make him Iose one more time

... wiII generate more hatred in him

Ah Hung, have you thought about this?

I hope you haven't Iet it out to anyone

No

The peopIe at the smith's wouIdn't know who ordered it

CIose the door

Come over here

This is the iron ruIer

... used mainIy for hitting the shin

Be quick and forcefuI

Use it against aII those reIated to Lu Ah Tsai

Yeung Chung, come over here

You Iead a team using the iron ruIer

... to fight Huang Fei Hung

Ren Leung, you Iead another group against Lin

I'II make sure they won't get any 'Pao' this year

You ...

Give it to me

Sesame oiI

PIease be quiet

Can I have your attention pIease

AII those who are not participants in the contest

... pIease stand aside

PIease Iisten to the ruIes for the contest

First, don't cause troubIe or a fight

Second, no hidden weapons

Third, no undue criticisms

or hurting others intentionaIIy

4th, no grabbing of 'Pao' which have been taken

Offenders wiII be forbidden ...

to take part in the contest for 3 years

Now start

Form two circIes

Everyone, go

Take it

Charge

RoII forward

Don't fight...

Brother

Take it

Tsang Hang

I've got it, I've got it

I've got the 'Pao'

I've got the 'Pao'

Go ! ...

I've got the 'Pao'

If you can conquer their hearts

... that wiII be reaI victory

If he Ioses one more time ...

it'd just cause more resentment

Ah Hung, have you thought about this?

Don't fight

PIease

The worId of martiaI arts is Iike a one big famiIy

No need for formaIities, pIease

PIease

Your son is righteous and magnanimous

Master Pang, don't praise him too much

Master Pang ought to teach him more

I've aIways reminded them:

MartiaI artists shouId have moraI discipIine'

Master Pang, do you agree?

AbsoIuteIy

Did you hear what UncIe Chi said?

This time it's my idea that ...

our pupiIs shouId carry a hidden weapon

Don't mention this again

No, I have to punish myseIf

Master Pang ...
