Original subtitles

In the mid-Qing dynasty

China's fortunes began to wane

Externally there was encroachment by the West

Internally the Divine Truth Cult caused chaos

Forefathers bless us and protect our troops

Brothers

Defeat the enemy and take the capital

We'll have more rice than we can eat

Kill

Charge

Hundreds of thousands of Divine Truth troops

swept through Beijing and Zhili into Shandong

Nothing could stand in their way

Among the Divine troops

there was a freak

who would later become a great master of kung fu

Lu Chan

Let's get this battle over with and eat

Jayden Yuan as The FREAK

2008 Men's Wushu Olympic champion

The enemy's sent in the cavalry

Nan

Time for Lu Chan to show what he can do

Would that be all right?

Just do as I say

Okay

Lu Chan

Sorry about this

1 8 years earlier Guangping Hebei Province

The Freak was born

Shu Qi as the Freak's mother

Named Yang Lu Chan

one could tell he was born different

There was some sort of growth on his head

Lu Chan's mother firmly believed her son was destined for greatness

and gave all her love to him

Isn't our son adorable?

Andrew Lau as Lu Chan's father

Director of the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy

Please take a look

Why do you have to eat everything?

Because I'm always hungry

Lu Chan's mother was wise to the ways of the world

Men are bad by nature so you must rely on yourself

Ledger

She has to take care of herself and Lu Chan

Winter

Everyone please watch our show

Fung Hak-On as Old Zhao

Founding member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team

What the hell?

Is this yours? Does it answer if you call out to it?

Candy gourd

He has a horn on his head!

Master everyone is leaving

Master he can do all your moves!

Nice power!

Meanwhile Lu Chan's mother was caught stealing

How much money have you stolen over the years?

I have to think about Lu Chan's future

Beat her to death!

Who dares?

I'm your legally-wedded wife

It's not up to servants to beat me

Master why are we following this kid?

Don't underestimate him! This kid has great potential!

Ma!

I'm afraid I can't take care of you anymore

I am Zhao Kan Ping and I perceive great potential in your son

This is known as "Three Blossoms on the Crown"

Most martial artists can't attain this even with decades of practice

but your your son was born with it

there's no limit to what he can achieve!

Madam please entrust your son to me

Kneel down!

You're the only one who sees my son's potential besides me

Remember you just need to do this one thing well in life

Ma will sleep now

1 0 years later

Has Lu Chan become a Divine soldier?

It seems Old Zhao is the Divine Truth Cult's master-at-arms

who recruits troops in the guise of a street-performer

Lu Chan

Big Brother Nan

Sorry about this

What the hell?

Make way!

Out of the way

Master Dong

This treasure of the Divine Truth Cult is all yours

Leung Siu-lung as Master Dong - 1 970s kung fu superstar

Silly boy risking your neck again

How are you sir?

Sorry to be a bother again

Silly boy

Would you rather live or die?

What?

If you'd rather die I won't stand in your way

But if you want to live

you have to listen to me

Never let anyone touch your "Three Blossoms on the Crown"

Don't ever practice kung fu again either

Otherwise your life will be in peril

What do you mean?

Your master only cares about fighting his battles

He doesn't care about your life or anyone else's

If you go on like this

you'll be dead before you know it

No way!

My master says the more I fight the stronger I'll get!

This martial arts style your master has taught you

relies on a hard stance and brute force

All it will do is deplete your internal energy

and shorten your life

Look at your horn of flesh

It's turned from red to purple

Once it turns black

you're dead for sure

Your only option is to practice internal martial arts

to completely alter your body's energy channels

That's the only way you'll escape an early grave

Internal martial arts?

Where can I learn that?

The Chen Village

Just cure him instead of talking about Chen-style kung fu!

So you haven't given up yet?

Master

I'm a doctor

I can't let people die without knowing the reason why

The reason why

You lost your fingers trying to steal Chen-style kung fu

You want others to follow your example?

Don't listen to this old fool's nonsense

Just practice the kung fu I taught you

Don't drink!

What the hell?

Drink the medicine while it's hot

Watch me demolish your Chen-style kung fu!

You

Kung fu thief!

That's right

I did steal their kung fu

And I only stole these three moves

which are more than enough to deal with you

Look at your horn of flesh

It's turned from red to purple

Once it turns black

you're dead for sure

Your only option is to practice internal martial arts

to completely alter your body's energy channels

That's the only way you'll escape an early grave

Imperial troops are attacking!

Wake up!

Imperial troops are attacking!

Help!

Fire!

Master Dong!

Lu Chan

You must hurry to the Chen Village!

Beg Master Chen Chang Xing to teach you kung fu

Otherwise you're dead for sure

Master Dong!

Master!

Lu Chan!

Our master is dead

Brother Nan!

Just go

Just go!

Who are you?

Where are you going?

My name is Yang Lu Chan

I am looking for the Chen Village

You have to climb over that mountain

Which mountain?

That one!

Oh...

Chen Village

Could you direct me to Master Chen?

You're here to learn kung fu?

Yes

Chen-style kung fu isn't taught to outsiders

You should leave

Sir

Where can I learn Chen-style kung fu?

Chen-style kung fu is not taught to outsiders

May I ask

Chen-style kung fu is not taught to outsiders!

I win

Why won't they let people learn?

Out of the way!

What the hell?

This way!

Oh dear!

Are you all right?

Where are you hurt?

Angelababy as Chen Yu Niang

Yu Niang!

How bad is it?

Eddie Peng Yu-Yen As Fang Zi Jing

If he's all right let's go

My name's Chen Yu Niang

Everyone in the village knows me

If you feel unwell

just come to see me

Yu Niang

Is the grandmaster back yet?

My mother's sick

He's not back yet

He'll return when he feels like it

Please give my regards to Master Chen

Sure

Which Master Chen?

There's only one Master here

Master Chen Chang Xing

Stone Bridge / Archway / Teahouse

Market / Vegetable Stall

Flagpole

Medicine Stop / Post Office

Windy Mountain

Chen Ancestral Hall

Side Annex

Can you handle it?

Can this thing really light up?

Stop talking nonsense

You have a try

Chen Si Cheng as Chen's Second Son

That Fang Zi Jing's really something

He only studied abroad for a few years

and all of a sudden he's turned into

the Chief Engineer

of Zhi Li Railway Construction

That Wimp

I never liked him even as a kid

Now he wears western clothing

and drives a western car

Would father really let him marry our little sister?

The marriage was arranged when they were kids

Little sister likes him anyway

Great!

If little sister finds out

she'll think we're trying to mess things up

Fifth Brother

You're here early

What are we discussing today?

Who knows?

Don't worry

Everything will be fine

They've started laying the railway tracks

You won't have to leave then

The train comes from Zheng Zhou

by way of the town of Huai Qing

and stops here at the Chen Village

Third Grand Uncle is here

You're all here

Third Grand Uncle

Why are you dressed like this?

Stanley Fung Shui-Fan as Third Grand Uncle

4th Uncle 5th Uncle 2nd Brother-in-law Elder Cousin

Where's your father?

Who knows?

I haven't seen him for a fortnight

Dear fellow villagers

Thank you for coming to this Zhi Li railway meeting

Zi Jing grew up in our village

and is grateful to all of you for taking care of him

Now that he's completed his studies abroad

and has become the Chief Engineer of Zhi Li Railway

he's brought honor to all of us

Why is he wearing the spittoon on his head?

May I have your attention please

This is a model of the railway

This object is called a train

It is the most advanced technology from the West

and the hope for the future of the Qing dynasty

The train comes from Zheng Zhou

via the town of Huai Qing

and stops at the Chen Village station

unloading sugar and western medicine

and loading up with our special local product

It makes transportation a lot easier

Let's say you want to go to Peking from Chen Village

On horseback it's a two-day journey

But riding train

you're nice and comfortable

and the journey only takes a day

Xiong Nai Jin as the Second Son's wife

Comfortable?

Have you ever thought about

once the railway reaches our village

what will happen to the inhabitants along the way?

And what will happen to our ancestral graves?

I'll answer that shortly

Please allow me to show you something you've never seen before

behold the power of western technology!

It really lights up!

This is called electric light

This is our hope and future!

It's on fire!

Don't leave!

Foreigners' stuff!

Nothing good will come of it

Not bad

Wimp here is really the hope of China

Are you feeling unwell?

Not at all

I don't want money

If you're not sick and you don't need money

why have you come to see me?

I'm looking for Master Chen

I want to learn Chen-style kung fu

Chen-style kung fu is not taught to outsiders

Since I arrived at this village

that's what everyone's been telling me

So they've told you?

What an idiot you are!

I'm not an idiot

My mom told me

never let other people take advantage of you

I can't let you hit me for free

You have to introduce me to Master Chen

You really want to learn Chen-style kung fu?

Yes

Follow this road

Turn right at the big pagoda tree seven miles down

Turn left at the petrified forest

There you'll find Wu-Liang Mountain

Master Chen

Master Chen is in retreat on that mountain

Here I come!

Coffee Beans from Java

It's boiling!

This is called coffee

Coffee is ground from coffee beans

Zi Jing brought it back from Great Britain

It tastes even better than tea!

Yuck it's more bitter than Chinese medicine!

You don't know what you're talking about

The more bitter it is the better the quality

This is how you drink it!

What the hell?

There is a nunnery on the mountain

Master Chen wasn't there

You walk really fast!

I thought it'd take you a couple of days

We should go

Let's go

Where is Master Chen?

Don't go!

I want to learn kung fu!

"Upper Arm Reverse Spiral"

"Chi-Consolidating Stance"

Take me to see Master Chen

Only If you can make me budge

Stop! His nose is bleeding!

I didn't touch him

He just keeps on pestering me

Go!

Oh dear

Where has he gone?

Secret River Cave

What the hell?

Sir

Can you

put me down?

I'm stopping your bleeding

Otherwise you might get a blood-clot in your brain

You could die from that

Sir...

Fine

Tony Leung Ka Fai as the Old Laborer

So do you know Chen-style kung fu?

Can you teach me?

I'm a laborer who does manual work

I don't know any of that what-you-call-it-style kung fu

Then

surely you know Master Chen Chang Xing?

I want to become his disciple

But as soon as people

hear that I want to learn kung fu

they either shoo me off or beat me up!

You wish to learn kung fu

to cure your ailment?

My mother...

My mother told me

I just need to do this one thing well in life

She wanted me to perfect my kung fu

Where is your mother now?

She died

You should go

Chen-style kung fu will never be passed on to you

There's no future for you if you stay

Your "Three Blossoms on the Crown" has gone from purple to black

You don't have much time left

You should go see a doctor as soon as possible

Sir

What the hell?

You promised to teach me dance when you gave me the phonograph

Come on

Now's not a good time

I should be going

Our village is small

Many villagers have never left here their whole life

Getting them to accept new things

is not an easy matter

But you can teach me first

I'm willing to learn anything

Then I can teach them once I've learned

That would take too long

I promised the governor I'd get it done

within ten days

What am I going to say to him?

Actually

if we become family

letting the railway into Chen Village

wouldn't be quite so difficult anymore

To be perfectly honest

it looks like I can't sort this out without you

I grew up in this village

but just because I'm a distant relative

with a different surname

I wasn't allowed to learn kung fu

I had to put up with your brothers pushing me around

I thought that if I learned a modern profession

I'd finally gain everyone's respect

But what happened?

It turns out nothing has changed

You're a practitioner of the great Chen-style kung fu

and I'm still just an outsider

I'm not a good match for you

Put it in there. That's right

Post Office

Zi jing

about the railway

you shouldn't rush things

As for our betrothal

please don't tarry anymore

I want to learn kung fu

You're really not afraid of dying?

No

I have no fear of anything if I can learn kung fu

Very well

I'll fulfill your wish

Watch closely

This move is "Parting the Wild Horse's Mane"

Didn't you say you want to learn kung fu?

Why are you still lying on the ground?

Get up!

I couldn't follow it

Do it again

Come on

"Double Pushing-Hands"

Again

"Crossed Lotus"

What the hell?

From this day forth

You're forbidden from setting foot in our village

If you do not abide by this

you'll be clobbered by everyone young and old alike

Close the gates

Bam!

Governor!

The people in the Chen Village are very un-enlightened

I've had a dialogue with them for over a fortnight

but have yet to bring them around

Enough

Your travel expenses amount to 30 taels of silver

Meals cost 1 7 taels

Sundry expenses 1 2 taels

You're there to build a railway not take a vacation!

61 taels of silver in total

All the money comes from the common people

People snicker that I used to be a merchant

that I'm a bean-counter

Even my robe of office belonged to the previous Governor

And you wonder how you've let me down?

Your Excellency

The building of the railway has hit a snag

You're not the only one who's concerned

the company's putting a lot of pressure on me too

They've just sent a foreign consultant to monitor our work

Consultant?

Halt!

How do you do your Excellency? I'm Claire

Tianjin-based consultant of the East India Company

Prince Chun is a good friend of mine

The Prince

sent you here to monitor me?

No

The company heard that Mr. Fang's run into some difficulties

so they dispatched me to help

Where Fang Zi Jing has failed

can a foreign woman sort things out?

Your Excellency

Claire didn't come here empty-handed

Since the negotiations with the Chen Village have failed

we have to rely on the power of the industrial revolution

Lu Chan

You just need to do this one thing well in life

Learn kung fu well from the Master

I must enter the village!

Entering Chen Village - Walkthru

Stage One: The Entrance

Xiong Xin Xin as Uncle Qin

"Ghost Leg Seven" from the "Once upon a time in China" series

Yang Lu Chan vs Uncle Qin

Stage One: Uncle Qin WINS

Day 2

Stage Two: The Market

Zhao Di vs Yang Lu Chan

Sister Yu Niang said you're not allowed to enter

Go

Wei Ai Xuan as Zhao Di

Prodigy from the Beijing Shichahai Sports School

Still running?

Over the past 1 20 years

87 people came to Chen Village to learn kung fu

63 of them left after learning they didn't teach outsiders

1 1 were defeated at the village entrance, 5 were beaten at the marketplace

Stage Two: Yang Lu Chan LOSES

Stage Three: The Archway

Xu Hui Hui as Sister Mahjong

Head Coach of Italian Tai-chi Team

Yang Lu Chan vs Sister Mahjong

Mahjong!

The remainder were all stopped at the Archway

Except for 8-fingered Master Dong who became village handyman

the only one left is

You got beaten up like this and you still won't leave?

Chen-style kung fu is really fantastic!

Just like this

a grab

a pull

a hook

a pierce-through

It's beaten me up to seventh heaven!

This is the first time I've seen anyone so happy at being beaten up

You've mimicked the moves quite well

Yeah!

This is how I've learned kung fu since I was a kid

I remember other people's every move

Is that so?

Then why don't you give them a taste of their own medicine?

What medicine?

Next time you fight with them

remember their moves

Whatever move they use against you just use it back at them

Look! The idiot's back for more!

He dares to challenge Brother Tofu

Stage Four: Town Center

Shen Si as Brother Tofu

1 2th Generation successor of Chen-Style Tai-chi

If you can hit the tofu off my hand

you win

This lad's so stubborn! He doesn't care about his life!

Next time you fight with them

remember their moves

Whatever move they use against you

you use it back at them

Knock-off "Monkey Offering Fruit"

He should use the move "Monkey Offering Fruit"

He should use "Lazily Tucking the Robe"

Who pushed me?

Your tofu

I'm sorry

That was an accident! Rematch?

Brother you've won

The idiot made it

He actually beat Brother Tofu

This young fool's really good

He's mimicked the style really well

Every move is just like the real thing

Uncle Laborer

I've made it

Mother I've made it

Where's Master Chen?

Master Chen I want to learn kung fu

What the hell?

Uncle Laborer

I made it

Uncle Laborer

Master Chen

I want to learn kung fu

Where are you?

Mother I've won

What the hell?

No wonder the idiot got smart

A master's been teaching him behind our backs

The fool is just mimicking the moves

Isn't that teaching him how to steal our kung fu?

It's against our ancestral rules!

I'm just an onlooker

What rules can I possibly be breaking?

There is a monster!

Increase the horsepower!

Yes sir!

We've arrived at the Chen Village

Quickly!

The new railway tracks are ready Sir!

Zi Jing

By order of his Excellency the Governor

for the purpose of constructing the Zhi Li Railway

Chen Village has 7 days to voluntarily pull down their houses

At the end of that time our machine will forcibly enter

and destroy everything without exception

You want to pull down our houses?

Wimpy!

Don't think we'll be scared of you

just because you brought along this crappy thing!

Yu Niang

Out of the way

Claire stop!

Fang Zi Jing

this is your home village

How can you do this?

Leave right now with this... this monster!

Why doesn't anyone speak up?

Third Grand Uncle said

they've all retired from worldly affairs

The person to deal with problems like this

is the Grandmaster

our father

Every day he comes and goes like a shadow

He could be standing right behind you for all you know

But he just disappears whenever something goes wrong

As you know

he's a free spirit

Free spirit?

He just runs away from his obligations

Yu Niang

where are you going?

Our Grandmaster may not take up the responsbility

but I'm not taking this lying down

Watch out!

Hurry up!

DANGER EXPLOSIVES

Reduce horsepower to 340

Yes Sir!

I've already told them to go to minimum capacity

You can read my thoughts

We've known each other for such a long time

of course I understand you

You don't really want to destroy this village

You just want to prove yourself

When I saw that girl

I finally understood

why you insisted on coming back

Those are two separate matters

I came back

Claire

I came back to make a contribution with what I've learned

I want to help those villagers

extract themselves from poverty and ignorance

I don't care about these things

I can see from the look in her eyes

she really cares about you

I said I have my own mission

Then what about me?

I came all this way to this place

do you think I really care about this job?

You should know very well how I feel

I won't consider personal affairs until the mission is over

Then let's finish the job first

This is the instruction manual for Troy

The machine's all yours

The foreign novelty is really ingenious

It's not something we should underestimate

What the hell?

What is that?

It can even sing

This is called a phonograph

Whether you speak or fart

it can record the sound for posterity

It took me a long time to fix it

One more thing

I need to tell you

you've over-exerted yourself

Your blood is rushing to your head

Now your fleshy horn has turned black

You can't practice kung fu anymore

You've passed out for one whole day and night

While you were asleep

something terrible happened in the village

What the hell?

A house-eating monster has come to Chen Village

Before long

it will gobble up the whole village

If Chen Village is no more

that will be the end of Chen-style kung fu

We can't let that happen!

We have to stop the monster!

This monster

is so tough even Chen Chang Xing can't defeat it

What can you hope to do?

Not even Master Chen can defeat it?

No

Then what do we do?

Iron monster

Foreign soldiers

The place for taking showers

Tent

This is you

First you borrow a work uniform from the showers

then walk over

The soldiers on patrol won't recognize you

This is how you can reach the bottom of the iron monster

But once you get to the top beware of the guard

Once he passes by

you can enter the iron monster directly

Once you've helped destroy the iron monster

you'll be a great hero to the Chen Village

Then it will be an easy matter

for you to learn our style of martial arts

It's that easy?

That easy?

First we have to consider how to destroy it

Claire may I come in?

Come in

Please don't go

I've been making a fool out of myself

You made that very clear

I need you Claire

As much as those two ice cold railroad tracks

Listen

I've always loved you

A. He said it off-hand on the spur of the moment

B. He's finally declaring his long-suppressed love

C. He'd say anything to get ahead

D. All of the above

B. He's finally declaring his long-suppressed love

But your family is so well off

and I'm just some...

I don't care

But I do care

Since I was a kid

I had to keep my head down

If I dare look up all I see is scorn or pity

But when I met you

I felt different

I'd never felt this way before

You changed me Claire

Yu Niang

The Next Day

Translate this book

You're the postmaster

You must know English

I'm an official of the Emperor

I would lose my head if I translate this

If you don't do it

you'll lose your head now!

It's up to you

Instruction Manual for Troy

Warning

You're trying to draw...?

You have to look at it this way

There's also this

and this

and this!

And this as well!

I get it

What is it that you're drawing?

Fortunately I can understand it

What you see now

is the internal structure of the iron monster

Your objective

is the central flywheel at the bottom level

But since the bottom level's heavily guarded

we have to go in from the top

Behind the door

is the passage on the top level

The passage is full of jet vents

Ready

go

At the end of the passage

there is a spiral staircase

leading directly to the bottom level

There's a machine at the bottom level

with a foreign soldier in front of it

We have to get past him quietly from behind

Behind this machine

there's another foreign soldier

If you're lucky his back will be turned towards you

You just need to knock him out from behind

What if I'm not lucky?

Then just knock him out to his face

When you get here

then congratulations

you've reached the central flywheel

Once you're there

take out the iron stick you brought along

and once you jam the gears

the monster will be destroyed

Which gears?

What if the gears don't get jammed?

Then you'll be surrounded by foreign soldiers

You could have escaped during the chaos

But now

all you can do is hope for the best

He's over there!

Don't let him get away!

Grab him!

Why are you here?

I should be asking you

Have you seen this lock?

If we can find this lock

we have a chance of destroying this monster

Are you asleep stinky monster?

Where can the lock be?

Could it be this one?

Wake up monster!

Is it this one?

Hurry up and leave

or else I'll beat you up

Did you hear me?

After the rails are built

I will come for you

If you really care about our future

then come with me

Lu Chan

This should be it

Stop!

Don't come any closer

I'm destroying this monster no matter what

If you destroy it

you and I will be enemies

Then enemies we'll be

Go

Claire

The machine is ruined

and so am I

Zi Jing

Claire

Isn't it better that it's destroyed?

We can go back to London together

We'll go back together

I'll destroy Chen Village

I'll destroy Chen Village!

What's happening?

Out of the way

Looks like Yu Niang

Yu Niang

What's the matter Yu Niang?

Yu Niang

Put me down

Yu Niang

Are you all right?

What happened?

I have...

we destroyed the monster

I helped too!

Hail to the heroes!

Stop!

I came to learn kung fu

Can I learn kung fu now?

You did all that just to learn kung fu?

That's right

Uncle Laborer said

once I become a hero

I can learn kung fu from Master Chen

Uncle Laborer?

Are you talking about me?

What the hell?

Father!

Father?

You're Chen Chang Xing?

None other

Chen Chang Xing Grandmaster of Chen-style kung fu

Tony Leung Ka Fai as Chen Chang Xing

You lied to me!

No you didn't

You never said you weren't Chen Chang Xing

Whatever

Can I learn kung fu now?

No

A great disaster is about to befall Chen Village

What disaster? The monster's been destroyed!

The reason I got an outsider to sabotage the machine

was to make sure Chen Village didn't get involved

I never thought you'd join in

and even kill someone

Kill someone? What do you mean?

When the iron monster exploded

the foreign woman was killed

This couldn't be avoided after all

Troops will soon arrive at our village

Everyone prepare for battle!

When the troops enter our village

we must treat them with every respect

Our goal is to protect our homes

We must do our best not to cause casualties

Yang Lu Chan's internal injuries run deep

He can't fight anymore

Towns people take up your positions

Follow my orders

We'll do it in four stages

Remember: it's best to disrupt the enemy

or to trap them

Injuring the enemy is the last resort

Chemical formula: As2O3

Effect: Dizziness upon inhalation Disorientation and hallucinations may occur

Wind Direction: northwest to southeast

Wind Speed: 200MPM

Strategem 1 : Disrupting the Real with the Fake

Why is it so foggy all of a sudden?

Strategem 2: Overcoming Yang with Yin

What are you waiting for? Shoot them!

They're firing!

Old Liu's been shot!

Reload

People of Chen Village hear this!

Sabotage of the railway is a crime against the state

Hand over Chen Yu Niang and Yang Lu Chan

and instigator Chen Chang Xing immediately

Otherwise

all of you will be deemed accessories after the fact

You'd turn your Western weapons against your own villagers?

Strategem 3: Overcoming the Hard with the Soft

Fang Zi Jing!

Do you have any conscience?

It's all your own fault!

Arrest them

Go

Yu Niang watch out!

Strange

How would this outsider know our Chen-style?

Yu Niang

Idiot

Get into formation

Lu Chan

Fire!

Get down!

Final Strategem: Man and Heaven Become One

Seize them!

Load your guns

Everyone let's drive the imperial troops away!

Everyone! Drive these soldiers away!

Get out of the Chen Village!

No... it wasn't me

I didn't order them to shoot!

Lu Chan!

This person's surname is Yang

He is not of our family

How does he know our Chen-style kung fu?

To answer your question

This lad loitered in our village for many days

demanding to learn kung fu

Our clan tried to dissuade him

They resorted to expel him

but surprisingly this lad mimicked their moves

and thus came to learn our Chen-style

He has learned almost half of it

In that case... he's stolen our kung fu!

He did indeed steal our kung fu

In full light of day

Lu Chan learned our family style before the eyes of everyone

How can that be theft?

Stealing in public!

That's not stealing?

It's not stealing kung fu!

But it is stealing kung fu!

Silence!

Although this took place in public

it was nevertheless done without permission

Taking without permission

constitutes theft

This idiot put his life on the line

to save Chen Village

He drove off troops armed with guns

Doesn't that make up for his offense?

He certainly should be rewarded for his good deed

but he must nevertheless be punished for his offense

Where's your humanity?

How can you say that?

It's all your fault!

If you didn't give him pointers in secret

there's no way he could have won

What? You taught him yourself!

This lad has "Three Blossoms on the Crown"

He's a once-in-a-century prodigy

Out of the goodness of my heart

I tried to save his life

But remembering our ancestral rules

I never taught him a single move

Now

His "Three Blossoms" have turned from purple to black

He could die at any moment

He could die at any moment?

Our generation has always abided by your rules

but I beg you to take his affliction into account

Don't punish him by severing his internal energy channels

Let him live out his remaining days in peace

No

Our ancestral rule is to punish theft of kung fu by disabling it

Then may I ask how is his kung fu to be disabled?

I have practiced martial arts all my life

but I've never learned how to do that

Do you know how?

We must pull out his tendons and break his bones

If he can still fight with his leg tendons pulled

does that mean you must pull his arm tendons too?

And if that doesn't work

should we smash his major bones as well?

That is what butchers do

I refuse to do it

You have to whether you're willing or not

You Zhi, bring out the ancestral blade

Father think of something quick!

Only one person can save him now

Who is it?

You

Wait!

Isn't this just a problem of family name?

If he marries me

and takes our surname of Chen he'll no longer be an outsider

There'll be no more issue of stealing kung fu

Father

do you have any objections?

You've always done as you pleased

What say do I have in the matter?

Father doesn't object

It's decided then

This is amazing beyond words!

Thanks to you

the magnificence of Chinese martial arts

has prevailed over western armaments

A small community like Chen Village

has overcome all your men and machinery

A foreign consultant even died

Once the Prince finds out

and orders an investigation

I'll make sure you're the first to carry the blame

Look at yourself!

What else does the East India Company have up its sleeve?

Bring it on!

Sister Yu Niang

Why are you marrying that idiot?

Don't talk nonsense

My apologies

Chen Village is closed today

It's a joyous occasion for the Chen Village

By order of the Grandmaster

all outsiders are barred from entry

Many apologies

What if I insist on entering?

My friend

listen to me

If you want to cause trouble

you've picked the wrong place!

Look closely Uncle Qin

Do I look like trouble to you?

The End

Actually...

not quite the end...

I can see the coastline

We're in Tianjin

Man your post! Stay alert!

Do we need these for the Chinese army?

It's not for the army

Have you ever heard of kung fu?

Kung fu?

Looks like it's going to rain

Let's go! Quick! Cover the cannons!

Don't let the Krupp Cannon get wet

Put up the tarpaulin

From Zero to Hero

We are just halfway through his journey

The rest of the way he'd rely on...

Rely on what?

Your Yin to be in harmony with his Yang

I'm your master

so you sleep on the floor

How long do I need to keep this stance?

Until I am happy

So this is it?

Or there are more to come...?

Yang Lu Chan was a member of the rebels

The Chen Village harbors the criminal

Fang Zi Jing is back

He will be seeking revenge

An inevitable battle

and a Hero will rise...
