Mo!

Pangolin!

What do you want?

We want something that you've got.

And what is that?

Now you're pretending.

Give it to us.

If you don't hand it over, we'll just take it from you.

Really? Why don't you try?

Listen, Ku Feng, I'm warning you.

You may have been great 20 years ago.

People were scared of you then, but not now.

You're no longer good enough.

This won't get us anywhere.

If you want to take something from me, first show me whether you are good

enough.

Hey, look at me!

The Three Rats!

Mr. Wong, you're up practicing very early.

Yes. Mr. Wong, do you think my kung fu's improved at all? Miss, your kung fu has

come on a lot recently.

Good. Allow us to both fight.

But I can't do that.

Of course you can.

Watch out.

Miss.

You're a lady.

And you like fighting. Kung fu's not for you. It's so useful.

Today, two strangers showed up. But I sent both of them packing.

Oh.

Where were they from?

That I don't know.

They didn't say.

They must have been outlaws.

Looking for something to steal.

You carry on practicing.

Give up the good work.

All right. Back to practice.

Chief, I...

Who

are you? Just passing through.

What do you want?

Something that you've got with you. Oh?

And what is that?

A treasure map.

What treasure map?

Don't try lying to us.

Pangolin, Gopher, you know what you've got to do to make him hand it over?

Hey!

Terrible! Terrible! It's... Outside!

They're eating up your dad!

Does Mr.

Mong usually sleep in a coffin?

Who's the murderer?

We've never given you any trouble.

I warn you, you will get away with this.

I must say, we're really scared of lovely girls like you.

Damn you.

Miss,

I like girls with spirit.

No one can insult the Monk family.

A sweet mouth that talks too much.

Miss, run for it! Miss, you must go! You must avenge your family honour! Go!

Why not give up? If you come with me and make you happy, what do you say?

You're dreaming.

Miss, you want to die?

That's far enough. Come closer, I'll fight you.

She wants to fight me.

High in the sky, nobody else around, but a lone fisherman

watching over his line.

Good weather for sleeping.

Listen to the man.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Look there!

Look!

I asked the young boy where his master was.

He replied that he'd gone up into the mountains.

The dreamers in peace there's no distraction his sleep at daytime is

undisturbed Where am I?

You are perfectly safe here because nobody knows you are here. Who are you?

The top off If you're the famous people then

I'd know I was dead.

I know of Li Po, but I'm Li Ta Pa, and we are quite different.

Don't worry, you aren't in danger of dying.

You saved my life.

Well, I didn't want to tell you, but now you've guessed it. Yes, I'm the one who

saved you.

If you drink up this medicine, you'll soon get better.

Yes, you're so... He's a doctor and a very good one, too.

Thank you for saving me.

Hey, get up now, get up.

Miss, tell us what happened.

Oh, can't you see that she's crying?

She's much too upset to talk now. Hey, no, no.

Miss, you just take it easy. You can talk to us.

It's a long story.

We never made any trouble.

But one day, three bandits suddenly showed up. They murdered my father.

I tried to escape, but I fell down.

Get a hoe!

A hoe!

A horde! A horde!

And now it's time you be at the village!

Be at the village!

Anybody refusing can only expect an early funeral!

Yeah! Come on!

What are they going to do with everybody?

Don't be lazy!

Quick! Quick! Quick!

Dig down ten feet!

Anyone disobeys, they'll be killed for sure!

Quick! Quick!

If you find anything, report to me. If you don't, I'll kill you too!

That's right.

We dug everywhere, but nothing's turned up. We found it!

Why are you kneeling?

What do you want?

I want you to be my master. Will you teach me Kung Fu?

Who told you that I know Kung Fu?

Li Ta Pa.

That fellow down good for nothing.

His mouth has got too big.

He said if I was sincere, he'd take me on as a student.

Guess if you are sincere, you want to get your revenge.

All right, I'll be your master.

Thank you. Thank you, master.

That's wonderful.

Well, now we've got female company, I'm going to take delight in looking after

you. I'll go off and fix you up something nice to eat.

Thank you.

Hands up!

Hey, what do you want here?

Since we're both gentlemen, let's talk it over.

We're not going to waste our time talking to you.

Fight. Right.

That's enough.

That style you're using isn't any good.

Look at you.

If you know our Kung Fu style, what are you going to do about it to be that?

That's very simple.

I'm going to use my secret fist technique.

And then you won't have any teeth in your mouth.

What's that strike called?

There are many strikes, some of which you wouldn't have heard of yet.

All right? Now you watch me close.

What's that strike called?

This one is called rats on the run.

Never heard of it.

You, come here and I'll show you.

I'm gonna hit you on the nose.

I've got a strike too.

Heard of this one?

Of course I know.

It's called beating a rat.

Aren't I right? No, you're wrong.

This is called rat eating a chicken.

Hey, now I know you really are an idiot.

If a rat sees a chicken, he immediately runs for cover.

So that the dog is woken up. Who goes after the rat, who runs away.

Men see it, try to beat it. And then, the poor rat is so shaken, he loses his

tail. Really?

You're very good.

I've never taught a lie. Never chased a rat.

You think I'd bother stopping if I couldn't handle myself, eh?

You're much too good.

See ya.

Let's go. Let's go. No.

I'm gonna fight.

No.

The rolling action works the stomach, strengthens the muscles of the spinal

cord. Bend, turn, twist, turn.

Now all of these actions will help you to do this exercise.

It will also make you more supple and strengthen you. That's why it's a good

exercise.

Master. You must use your full concentration.

Find a center within.

Place all your strength in it. Keep concentrating on that point.

This is the most important thing you'll learn.

Here, watch me now.

Every movement of your body come on watch me your hands your waist

and your leg But

the basis of all strength is the rate of

breathing

Stop pulling me. I'll do it. Right.

What's the matter with you?

I've been beaten.

Who beat you?

Strangers.

What was the point?

Why'd they beat you?

They used the rat face down.

Against me. I had no defense.

Oh, Rat Vista.

Master, why is there only half?

That is why we have to find the other half quickly, before we find the

treasure.

What are you doing come here midnight?

What do you want? I want chief mom Chief mom died some time ago.

I am chief now. Oh If chief long isn't here, then I'll be going on

it Do you think you can just leave like that

What do you want?

Why have you come I just told you I'm looking for mom Master, I think he

needs some persuading before he's gonna tell us the truth.

Oh, fella, you're not going anywhere.

We'll see about that.

Reptile strength.

Why are you here?

I thought you were acting rather strangely when I saw you go out so late.

So I followed.

You showed up just in time.

We better go. Right.

Master, is it all right?

No, it's not.

Moonlight becomes you.

It goes with your hair.

I'm coming upstairs.

What are you doing here? Don't you know it's late?

But it's a full moon, so I've come calling.

Who are you calling?

Can't you feel it?

What I'm feeling?

It's very late. Why not go back to sleep?

But I have got nowhere to sleep.

Don't be so silly.

You agree that I could have your room for the time being?

But it's so uncomfortable down there, I thought I'd come up here and see you.

What do you want?

Well, that's easy. Let's you and I be friends.

Behave yourself.

I didn't touch you.

Be a gentleman.

Thank you, I will.

What are you going to do now?

Let's play make-believe. You're the damsel, I'm the hero.

Like a play?

I wish we could both stay here, both of us together forever.

Go to hell!

Don't be crazy. Don't let me go.

Don't let me go.

Hold on, please.

Hold on.

What do you think you're doing with that girl?

Step forward Get down

All right now

turn over

Swivel

Go down

Shawa? Shawa?

You make trouble for me during the day.

And now here you are disturbing me at night too.

Studying books and Kung Fu requires hard work. It's good for you.

Go to hell. Leave me alone.

Oh, come on now. I'll teach you. Teach? You're crazy.

Right. The first lesson will begin with reading from the classics.

Man's nature is to be good.

Ah, what's going on? You bore me to death.

But when men are mature, they forget their nature.

And that's why we have to teach them.

A

flower

falls on the water. Oh, it's terrible, terrible, terrible.

What is it?

There she has gone.

I'm just left with her memory.

Where shall I walk up to?

Probably gone out to get her revenge.

Who could have guessed you would have survived that fall?

I'm a very lucky person, that's why I've come back.

That was a foolish move.

You dirty rat.

So you reckon you're good enough to take us on?

Let's try.

Let the girl go.

We don't need her.

Master, we could have had a little fun with her.

She's no good at fighting, but she can run fast.

There'll be another time.

You have lost.

Don't be so sure. It's not over yet.

You see?

You can't take that piece.

Why can't I?

Wasn't it my move?

I thought we agreed.

We'd follow my rules.

Then let's have another game you ready for another All

right, I'll give you one more chance.

I hope you're going to make it come on Thank you master

Why thank us we're not playing chess with you it isn't the playing chess it's

for teaching me She really is learning very fast

Master, this time I promise I won't give up. I do want to succeed at Kung Fu.

Right. But there's no shortcut.

It's a long, hard road.

I will be patient. I'm going to make it.

Shower, you seem to understand.

So tomorrow I'll teach you the wildcat technique.

Withdraw both of your hands.

First move, rolling over.

Leaping out of trouble.

And entering into heaven.

Now

you've

come back down to hell.

This is the second move it's turning over The

third move

Right. Calling down to help.

The force will turn a threat out.

Again.

My God, no.

Not you again.

I never give up until I have won.

You're just not giving me a hard time.

You should be both excited and happy for a friend to come here to see you. I

don't want to talk now. Get down!

All right, all right.

This isn't Kung Fu practicing.

It's more like disco dance.

Now watch me.

Sit right around and smile.

A girl of great beauty.

The queen's mirror.

The maidservant.

The beautiful girl smiling.

The

beauty attracts

the hero.

The beauty reduced to tears.

The beauty has too much to drink.

Master. Oh.

I'm going to get drunk if you keep on doing that.

Master, stage five is so difficult to learn.

Oh, in that case, you have to practice harder. Yes, master.

The sixth stage is the attack.

Master.

Pick every one of them up now.

To learn Kung Fu, you need patience.

If you practice hard, you will succeed.

But there's no shortcut on the road to success.

Well, scholar, what do you think of my Kung Fu now?

We're all deserving of merit, and you have made improvement.

If you continue, you will succeed.

If that's true, I'll go and get my revenge.

No, not yet.

Master, how long are you going to make me wait till I get revenge?

You must learn the eight strikes first.

There's no shortcut.

So go easy.

No hurry.

Master, can we start on the sixth strike right away?

You stand in the center.

Daba, you step aside.

Catch the balls, don't let them fall to the ground.

You don't respect our friendship.

Where she got to? I'm over here.

It's very cold up here. What are you doing down there?

You just don't know.

Women.

That's enough for me.

I'm coming down.

No, not that fish.

I don't care which fish.

I still caught it.

But you are stealing it.

Doesn't matter now since I have got it. Anyway, it's a big one.

Recently, I've been thinking about the seventh strike. When Tarpar just jumped

over, he gave me an idea.

Which I'll now pass on to you.

This particular move is called the turnover.

Now watch.

Come here.

Just do what I do.

This is when you want to take by surprise.

As your opponent moves, use his force to bring him down.

That is a good move, but turn over.

So, you finally come.

If you knew that we were here, why didn't you come on out?

So, it's you.

What do you want?

The treasure map.

Oh, I'm not surprised.

But if you want it, you will have to come and get it.

You! You've asked for it. This is your own doing.

Step down.

Let's line up.

Rat in the road!

must have gone to his hideaway.

Master. Cottage.

Lovely cottage.

Master.

And the treasure.

Lovely treasure.

Show up.

Show up.

Where are you going tomorrow?

You can tell me what you're going to do.

I'll take revenge for Master and my dad.

But you can't do that. You'd never defeat them.

I don't care.

I want revenge.

Don't be so obstinate.

This ain't a game you're playing.

I've made up my mind.

Your life's at stake. Be sensible.

No. I'm deadly serious.

All right.

If you insist on going, I'll come with you.

If we're gonna go, we'll go together.

I don't want you with me.

I've made up my mind.

Don't stop me.

You don't know Kung Fu. Come with me and you'll only get killed.

If I should get killed...

That's my own business.

Topo, what has gotten to you?

We're a couple. We form a team. We mustn't split.

We're together.

What nonsense. I am not your wife.

But we're partners, aren't we?

We're in this together.

Can't we still team up? From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You do your

dreaming. I'll do what I've got to do.

Why? Why do you have to do it?

It's... Huh?

Hey, Shawa!

Shawa?

Shawa!

Wait for me, will you? Hey, Shawa!

Shawa!

Shawa!

Shawa!

What do you want?

I... Hey, hey, hey, hey! Shawa!

We're a perfect match, us two.

You must love me. I love you. Hey, Shawa, you can't just go away and leave

me on my own. You better go back. Will you please stop following me?

We'll be happy together.

You wait and see.

If you do come with me, you'll end up dead.

I'd rather die than be alone.

I'm not going to listen anymore.

All right. From now on, I'll change my ways.

What does that mean? Stop talking in riddles.

All right.

I won't.

And I promise I'll listen to you.

You have to obey every order. You've got to do everything I tell you. Right.

I'll let you wear the trousers.

Don't make jokes like that.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Watch what you say. You open your mouth too much.

But I will change day by day.

Day by day?

All right.

I've got a job for you. It suits you perfectly.

Master? Master?

What do you want?

Master, I... Look, beggar, everybody around here is poor as well. So go beg

some other place.

Oh, no.

I'm here because I'm looking for somebody.

And who's that?

Chief Ma'am.

Chief Mong, but he said he was murdered by the Apple Gang.

Oh, I heard about that. I just wondered which house he lived in.

It's over there. Oh.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Come in, take a look.

Here, take a look.

Not you.

Not you either.

Goddamn beggar.

What the hell do you want here?

I must talk with the chief. Can't talk to anyone else.

I'm here.

Terrible. Terrible.

Cat's coming. Cat's coming. Shut up.

You mention a cat again, I'll knock all your teeth out.

I don't know about that, but a guy told me to tell you about a game called Cat

Gets the Rat.

And he's the cat.

Cat.

Take me there.

Follow me.

You two can stay here.

It's her.

You seem surprised.

Cat gets the rat.

Oh, and you're in this with her?

I'm much more than that. We're a couple.

She is my wife and I'm her husband.

You were lucky the first time we met.

You ran too fast the second time we met.

But this third time we meet, you're gonna die.

Like the proverb says, a cat has nine lives.

She's got a nerve.

How soon shall you?

A cat's gonna get all the rats.

Fine. You asked for it. Now you can both be together forever.

Oh, no, no, no.

Not so fast.

Nothing to do with me. You can leave me out of this. It's a fight. No, no, not

that. Only scoundrels enjoy a fight.

I'll go rest over there.

My friends, you can start.

All in the round.

In the old style.

It isn't wise to fight so many.

You've got to use your brain. Yell them into the woods.

You'll be more protected there.

She really is going to let me out of it.

Let's go.

Where am I gonna find that girl?

Why don't you try the other way?

You'll find out it's a dead end.

Upside down.

You've really learned it well.

Rat comes out.

Joe, quick.

You tear into them as hard as you can.

We won. That round that time.

For the next round, I advise you to use the fourth strike.

So, I've been looking for you.

Aren't you gonna change your mind?

Huh? Eh?

Damn you!

Right comes out!

You all gone?

Now I'm all alone.

Wonderful, wonderful.

You're giving those three rats a hard time.

We won that round as well.

The rat runs down.

Oh, show off!

If this is all you're after, you can have it.

Sawa.

Sawa.

Sawa.

Sawa. Sawa.

Sawa.

Tapa.

So at long last, you've got revenge.

Here's the completed treasure map.

You will be a wealthy woman.

I don't want it. It isn't mine.

Take the money. You have earned it.

And if this treasure really does exist, we should distribute it among the poor.

It's so good to help other people.

Come, let's go.
