Original subtitles

WOMAN: I remember the story

about five warriors.

They set out on a journey

to save us all from becoming innocent victims.

They never lost the will to fight for good against evil.

It was a long time ago when I first met them.

They did everything in their power to fight souls

from the grave who had come back to life.

[ROARING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Before we proceed, listen.

In the old days when a body was buried,

it needed to find peace, or soon,

a negative energy would build up,

this would cause physical and chemical changes in the corpse

and over time, allow it to move again.

These zombie-like corpses would escape from their graves

to hunt live humans, to feed on the innocent,

the guilty, like a habit.

A habit which would turn them into vampires.

Destroying life to live as all-powerful,

supernatural beings.

[WINDOW BREAKING, DOG HOWLING]

Wind! Yes. Ready.

Thunder! Yes!

Rain! Yes.

Lightning! Yes.

I am expecting the four of you to look after the others.

What we are doing is dangerous, stay alert!

Understand?

Yes.

We will travel far, but remember this:

If you are bitten, or even scratched by a zombie,

you can recover.

But once the zombie has fed on human flesh,

and becomes a vampire, if it attacks you,

and you survive, you too will become a vampire.

Master, it will soon be daybreak.

The men haven't slept for days, they're exhausted.

They all must rest.

Because if they don't,

they won't be able to react quickly

if something were to happen.

I can feel it.

The negativity energy.

We must be careful.

Master!

How close are we now?

According to the map we should be there.

This country has a history of good luck.

The graves here are filled with the wealthy.

Perhaps.

I also sense there is a danger here.

The spirits are restless, something will happen soon.

Master, we found it!

Here!

Where is it?

Towards the southeast.

This is a general's grave.

It looks disturbed.

If the corpse is inside, we must destroy it.

If it is gone, we must leave here immediately.

Master, I will give all the men the warning.

Good.

The gas.

There's methane gas everywhere.

Put out those torches. Get back!

Bring the explosives.

Okay, Master.

Here it comes.

[THUNDERING]

Master, what is it?

Vampire!

MASTER: Grab him!

Watch out!

[WHEEZING]

MAN: Look out!

Wait. It's too late.

[WIND HOWLING]

[DOG BARKING]

Looks like there's going to be a wedding.

We better be careful. We can't just say there's

a vampire around here.

Are you sure that compass is working?

It seems like it's broken.

Pretty weird.

Maybe it needs to rest a while.

Remember what he told us.

The Master said stay alert, anything can happen.

The Master also said that wherever we find vampires,

he'll be there.

If he's still alive, maybe we'll find him.

I hope so.

Hey, look, over there!

Okay, now.

Smile and act like we're supposed to be here.

Mr. Kow, the workers you requested have just arrived.

Are you an idiot or what?

I asked for a whole crew of workers

and you only bring me two.

Hey, wait.

Who are these men?

Any of you know how to cook?

Sure, no problem. Oh, yes, of course.

Yeah, right, doesn't look that way to me.

Come on, come on, what are your names.

I'm wind. Thunder.

Rain. Lightning.

Wind, Thunder, Rain, Lightning?

What kind of stupid names are those, anyway?

Forget those names from now on it's Kung, Hei, Fat, Choi.

Now let's try again.

I'm Kung. Hei.

Fat. Choi.

Ah, yes, now those really sound more like servants.

Get them a change of clothes.

Come on.

Not yet for you.

You've got work to do first.

Go pick up the wedding gifts.

Go, go, go on! But--

Get rid of that compass or I'll throw you out of here.

Let's go, the wedding's going to start soon

and we have work to do. Don't get so upset.

He tried to throw me out.

So what?

What wedding gifts?

I don't even see the bride.

Yeah, where's the bridal sedan?

Oh, this compass can't be working.

Maybe we're in the wrong place.

Look, we're here to find vampires and find our Master.

That's exactly what's got me worried.

What if our Master has become a vampire?

Hey, don't say that!

Well, he could be.

Open the door.

Sasa is here!

We shall now begin the wedding.

You may proceed.

The bride and groom will now honor the parents.

You don't have to worry.

I've got a lot of experience.

I've been married six times already.

But, you're going to be fine.

You're not going to die, I promise.

Everything will be okay.

Hey, so, uh, any you guys see the bride?

What difference does it make?

She's got nothing to do with us. Just asking.

I don't think there's any zombies or vampires around here.

Let's just get our pay

for working the wedding and leave.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

I heard that the Jiangs are in the wax business.

And they're unlucky with women.

The son has been married six times

and every time the bride died right after the wedding.

Kung, Hei, Fat, Choi, what are you doing?

You've still got work to do.

Where's our money?

Who's going to take those lanterns down

and put all this stuff away?

Me? I don't think so.

That's your job.

So why aren't you doing it?

We were just washing out hands-- You want to quit?

Fine, go, you're free to leave anytime.

What about our money?

Are you having trouble understanding me?

Finish the work tonight and get paid.

It's clearly your choice.

So what'll it be?

Do you want to quit, or do you want to work?

Work! Work!

Then get to work.

Okay. Okay.

Boss, the Jiangs' house is just on the other side of the forest.

Really, are you positive about that?

Yes.

I followed the bridal sedan

through the woods and then I memorized

the route that they took.

Tonight is a night that we're going to remember,

I guarantee it.

How about that?

We've been hired to rob a wedding.

Come on boys, let's find out if the gold is for real!

[WIND BLOWING]

What the hell is that?

Interesting.

[SCREAMING]

[HORSES NEIGHING]

Don't panic! Don't panic!

Ahh!

Ahh!

[WIND CHIMES]

[FLOORBOARDS CREAKING]

[BIRDS TWEETING]

[SCREAMING]

What was that?

The young Master was bitten by a poisonous snake.

Do something.

I'm sorry, it's too late. He's dead.

Please accept my condolences. Goodbye.

Not the young Master.

It's my fault!

It's all my fault!

The snake got into the house and killed the young Master.

I'm sorry!

I'll resign my post immediately!

I couldn't possibly stay here any longer!

No!

Mr. Kow, hold on, what about our money!

Yeah, right! Yeah, our money!

Wait, now that our butler is gone,

who will do the cooking and cleaning?

I am the true boss here.

If you will stay, I will pay you.

Your first task will be

to catch the snake that killed my son.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Chief!

What are you doing here?

I-- No, last night, they-- We--

Shut up! We have guests!

Where's my gold?

Well, we tried to get to the Jiangs last night.

We tried to!

But there was this thing--

Keep talking.

A vampire!

I saw it!

A vampire!

Hey, look, if you're putting on the show for me, don't bother.

Come on, everybody knows you need money.

That's why you had your sister marry into the Jiang family.

The Jiangs are loaded.

Hey, I'm sure if you'd ask,

they'll pay off your gambling debts for you,

you're part of the family now.

Leave my sister out of this.

Sasa's none of your business.

I said I would pay you back.

When I want to, is that clear?

That's fine with me, I've got money,

but my men aren't as easy-going as me.

Something about needing to get paid, uh, I can talk to them,

see if they'll cut you a break.

Let me get this straight,

you're making threats to me now, am I right?

So, is this how you repay your debt?

By killing my men?

The whole crew goes out to rob Jiang and only one comes back.

It doesn't make sense.

Figures.

We give the compass a long rest and then it begins to rain.

Hey, weren't you the one who said

it didn't matter whether a woman was pretty or not?

Yeah.

And now this bride

has got you hooked on her.

Yeah.

We're supposed to find this thing.

Let's go to work.

Yeah.

Hey!

Huh.

The compass is working.

What do you think happened?

Didn't you say you saw a bird in the forest?

Yeah.

Let's go take a look.

[WIND HOWLING]

Why'd you flirt with her?

You got to remember something.

Ordinary people don't understand the type of business we do.

So it's hard for us to communicate.

It's difficult for us to have a real relationship.

Ah, forget about it.

I would just let it go if I were you.

[DOG BARKING]

[TIN BANGING ON CONCRETE]

Okay, what are you going here?

What?

Oh, I'm from the next village.

I was just trying to make a little cash.

I was hired to find Jiang's money.

Oh, really.

You seen the ghosts?

No. You're kidding, right?

This place? It's haunted.

If you hang around long enough, you'll see them.

There aren't any ghosts here, come on.

Really, didn't you feel the shiver

running down your back earlier?

You'll see them pretty soon.

I will?

That's not all.

What, there's more?

There's also vampires.

You heard of vampires, right?

You mean, there's--?

Yeah, th-th-th-they're everywhere.

But I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do,

I'm going to let you go.

You tell the others about the vampires.

Tell them not to come here.

Stay away.

Okay.

Wait.

Forget the roof.

Leave by boat.

It's safer.

Okay, I'll take the boat then. Move it.

Stinking vampires!

Who were you looking for?

You.

But, I ran into a bandit searching for Jiang's gold.

Everyone wants the gold, even Sasa's brother.

Oh.

What were you doing in the forest today?

I heard noises.

Strange things have been happening.

I'll say.

Thunder has Sasa, and now, I have you.

SASA: "Dear brother, I know once a woman is married,

"tradition demands that she remain with her husband always,

"but living here at the Jiang house is very strange.

"I miss home, and I hope that you can get me out of here.

"I'll be waiting.

Your sister, Sasa."

[PLATE CLANGING]

Ah!

Ahh!

Somebody!

There's a snake!

Is anybody here?

Anybody!

Hey.

Sasa, what's wrong?

I'm sorry, but the house is deserted.

And what's wrong with that?

You'll get used to the peace and quiet around here,

but this house is quite large.

You could get lost.

You shouldn't wander around alone.

Okay, I won't.

But why can't you let me go home, Father Jiang?

My husband's dead.

Oh, you miss him already?

I can take you to him.

You can?

Of course, but first, pick up your letter.

My son, we've come to visit you.

[GASPS]

You didn't bury the body?

Our family is famous in these parts for preserving bodies.

We treat them with special chemicals

then preserve them in wax.

While others may only last a few years,

our work is guaranteed to last a lifetime.

My son will be with you forever.

You'll never be lonely in this house,

and neither will I.

But, your wife was

at the wedding ceremony last night.

Yes, she was there.

Just like your husband, she has been preserved.

She will remain here forever.

See, sometimes it's a blessing

for a couple when one of the partners can't speak.

When you die, you'll receive the same treatment.

No. No!

Don't worry, my dear, you'll be here for all eternity.

But--

This is it!

Hey, couldn't you just use the door?

You scared me.

[GROWLING]

You don't need to look any further,

the house is full of them.

The whole family must be here.

Hey, it could be that one of these is the vampire.

Wow.

Look.

That's it, Jiang's treasure, we've found it.

There's a fortune here.

Hey, we're here to find vampires, not gold bars.

He's right.

You idiot, with all this gold, who needs vampires?

He's right.

No, you're the idiot.

If the vampire shows up, we'll need more than money.

He's right.

The sun is going down!

He's right!

You didn't mention to me that there are real vampires

in Jiang's mansion.

Oh, that rumor thing.

Actually, Jiang was the one who told me to spread those rumors.

Some of the villagers are scared,

but it's just a rumor that's all.

I know what I'm doing.

It's all arranged, I swear.

I guarantee it.

It'll go like clockwork.

You've worked for him for years,

and don't know where he keeps his gold?

The old man used to be a police chief,

he's very smart and very careful, it's not easy.

All the brides have been killed by a poisonous snake

that's in the house.

What about my sister, you fool?

She could have been killed too.

How about it?

Okay, sure.

They're hunting the snake now.

And we had to kill the others so they'd take Sasa.

You should hope somebody gets it before long, understand?

And that nothing happens to my sister,

or I'm going to kill you.

Okay, but there's somebody who can help us with this.

There's a guy, he's a zombie wrangler, okay?

He's able to make the dead move again.

Idiot, what do we need this guy for?

Old man Jiang isn't dead yet.

I know, but for years, the Jiangs have preserved their dead

family members in wax and stored them in the house.

We can get this zombie wrangler to wake up all those corpses.

Can you imagine?

Bodies jumping all over the place.

The old man won't have any idea what's happening.

He'll have to fetch his relatives, huh?

So we'll walk in the there, grab the gold, and get away.

It's the perfect plan.

I'm telling you, I've arranged everything.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Stop, that's enough!

Hm!

You don't think I believe you?

They're already dead, why disturb them?

Just leave them alone.

They didn't die where they lived,

they need assistance from me.

I must return them tonight to their villages

so they can rest.

So you create warrior zombies,

let's see how good you are!

Now come on, did you really give it your best?

[CHANTING]

All right, okay, what are you two doing here?

Good sir, we're here to ask for your help.

We were wondering,

we need to awaken the corpses in Jiang's house.

I see.

Here's a little something in advance.

Go ahead, take it.

But of course.

Why not?

[LEAVES RUSTLING]

Did you see anything?

You saw what I saw, but she's mine to protect, understand?

Remember this:

She could be just like

a future sister-in-law to all of you.

Hey, look.

We were just trying to watch out for you.

If anything happens, we're all in this together.

Isn't that right? Absolutely.

Come on.

Shh.

Would you lower your voices?

If she hears us, I'm finished.

This is no joke it's totally serious.

Look, she's Mrs. Jiang now.

How many times do we have to tell you?

She's not your girlfriend. He's right.

I know, but they were only married one night.

I still got a chance.

Now look, you guys say you're my friends.

Come on, you got to help me out here.

Well-- He's right.

Come with me right now.

What for?

What's this?

They're all wax bodies.

The compass doesn't show anything.

They're all still dead.

This is really weird.

You were watching the young mistress while she was bathing.

This is unacceptable behavior

and must be dealt with accordingly.

It's okay for you to look at her, but not us?

According to our family rules, you must be blinded.

Sir, I'm sincere.

Not these guys,

they're voyeurs.

You're wrong. Bastard.

What did you say? Dirty bastard.

I'm not afraid of your special techniques.

You're on your own.

Are you okay?

Not really, he pushed too hard.

So you are the unbeatable one.

I thought you couldn't be defeated?

My turn.

We better burn all these corpses before they turn into vampires.

No wait, if we do it here, we'll burn the whole house down.

Let's move them all outside.

Right.

Well, that's it.

What?

There could be other corpses in the house.

We must find them all.

We have to be certain.

What about Jiang?

[SWORDS CLASHING]

We'll hold the old man down

and force him to tell us the truth.

Right.

JIANG: Who are you men?

Are you here to rob me?

You are well trained in martial arts,

yet you're acting as servants.

We're on the trail of a vampire.

Yeah, that's right. And we think all these corpses

you're storing here will sooner or later become zombies

and then turn into vampires.

Nonsense, that is just a well-designed rumor

to keep the bandits away.

The problem is, ever since our family became rich,

the family members never stopped

foolishly fighting amongst themselves,

and now I am the only one left.

I have decided I will not punish you.

If you can help me eliminate these problems

that have continually shadowed our family,

then I'll adopt one of you as my godson,

who will be the one to prepare

to guard over the fortune I have amassed.

I am also going to give you a duty

that should have been mine.

He will take my daughter-in-law Sasa and marry her at once.

Hey, stop there! I'm the guy.

I will take your family's name and restore it.

[LAUGHING]

Is he nuts?

[CHANTING]

[YELLS]

What was it he said to the old man?

He's going to restore the glory days.

I don't know...

[RUMBLING]

Huh?

Vampires? Could be.

Where's the compass, let's check it out.

Looks like something big.

Wait, where you going?

Let's move.

Which way?

Over there.

The Jiang house is over there,

and that's where Sasa is.

She must be in danger. I've got to help her.

What should we do?

Let's get the tools this time.

[CHANTING]

[GASPS]

Uhh! Aah!

Sasa.

Help me, help me! Where are you?

Sasa, I am here.

I'm over here!

Please hurry!

Help!

Get away from her.

Hold on.

[BOTH SCREAMING]

Are you all right?

My foot, it hurts.

I'll carry you.

Where are you taking her?

You haven't fulfilled your commitment.

You betrayed my trust. Huh?

[CRASH]

Why are they all moving?

You must stop them.

Someone is using their magic.

Master Jiang, who are your enemies?

As of right now, you're my only enemy.

Watch out, get down.

[SCREECHING]

What was that?

I tried to tell you.

That's a vampire, we've been hunting him for months

and now he's here.

That's a rumor.

I started it to protect this house.

Yeah, well I got news.

It's no longer a rumor, it's a vampire.

Well, were could they be going?

Someone is calling them, it's like they're controlled,

but I don't know why.

One thing, who else knows the secret

about the family treasure in that room?

Who the hell are you?

How'd you know about my treasure?

Well, we, uh--

I understand. You and the others

have been after my money all along.

If that's all I wanted, I would never have come back for her.

You're a liar, you want her and my gold.

Oh, I get it now, you're just a decoy.

While I'm occupied with you,

your friends are stealing my gold, am I right?

You're right that someone is robbing from you,

but it's not my friends, I assure you.

Don't believe me? Check it out.

Huh? What are you doing with that rock?

Uh, I thought I could help.

Thanks.

I-- I want to leave here right away. That okay?

But I-- I thought you and he--

Please, you don't want me

to stay here forever, do you?

Of course not.

[CHANTING]

Let's go.

[RINGING BELL]

Where are we going?

This vampire is very powerful.

If we just keep moving, maybe we can get away.

[VAMPIRE HOWLING]

He's right behind us, hang on.

Okay, I think we got away.

Mm, okay you can let go now if you want.

Oh no, not yet, just a little longer.

You can open your eyes. It's all right.

What's that?

Where are we anyway?

This is where we first found the vampire king.

Sasa, we took a wrong turn.

[SCREECHING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Let's run!

Hurry!

Ah!

This way.

There he is-- Uh, uh--

Sasa, if we live, let's get married.

Yes, I'll marry you.

I'll marry you, Sasa.

Wait here.

You're alive!

He can't see you if you're wet, put this on.

He's coming!!

Come on!

You have to hide in the water you'll be safe there.

There's no choice, get in.

Right.

Master, what do we do?

There's no water here.

It's going to rain.

Master, it's raining.

I told you.

[DOOR CREAKS]

Oh, come on.

I'm sure it's here.

This is the only room I've never been in.

I bet the old man hid that gold somewhere in here.

How come you didn't say so earlier?

We've been looking for years.

Will the old man be back soon?

You can relax.

We woke up the corpses of every one of his ancestors.

He's going to be busy for a while.

He's got to round them all up. Ha, ha, ha!

We better hurry up, I want to be gone when he returns.

Oh, yeah.

It's too late.

You had your sister marry my son,

just so you could get your hands on the gold.

You don't need all that money.

There's nobody left for you, you're completely alone.

Be reasonable,

you don't need to hang on to what you can't use.

Seriously, what a waste.

The way I spend my money, is my business.

What do you care?

Well, I guess it's because now,

we're family.

We are not.

So you knew the whereabouts

of the gold all along, didn't you?

Look out!

[LAUGHING]

He wanted you to fight me to the death,

so he could steal the gold himself

I would use caution with him.

He's right.

Now, wait, you and I, we want the same thing.

So don't listen to what he's saying.

We had a deal, let's stick to it.

Finish him off and I'll wait for you outside,

I'm sure you'll defeat him.

It's easier to take it off of him than you.

No!

[COUGHS]

How about that, I fulfilled two of my wishes:

I got my money that was overdue for marrying my sister,

also I guess I showed you that I'm the better fighter

than you are.

Look, there's the vampire behind you.

Huh, you think you can play that old trick on me,

"Hey, there's a vampire, there's a vampire, there's a vampire!

You think I'm an idiot?

Listen to me old man, you're the idiot here.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

Sasa? Sasa?

She still hasn't come round.

She's going to be fine, she ran all night.

Where are your partners?

They went to get the equipment to beat the vampire.

Once we became separated,

then I-- Then I followed that thing.

I tracked him for many months.

It headed this way so I came here,

wanting the chance to surprise him.

Yes, but how come we never saw you?

We've been looking for you for months.

Hm.

Who's the girl?

My wife.

We just got married.

The vampire was chasing us.

So, she was in great danger.

You didn't try to take advantage?

I see smoke, do you see it?

It's more like fog.

Fog doesn't smell.

She's burning up.

The vampire. She's been scratched.

It's serious.

She'll turn into a vampire.

No.

In seven days or sooner.

Sasa.

Get ready.

Sasa.

I know we haven't known each other that long--

It's not hopeless.

It's not?

If treated with coffin wood,

she could still survive.

What? You just said that she wouldn't.

It's not hopeless, you see, but it may not be curable.

I am not sure I know the difference.

At least there's a chance.

SASA: Thunder.

She's calling you.

Sasa, it's Thunder.

[HOARSELY] It's my ears, there's something wrong.

My voice sounds pretty bad.

Well, to me, it sounds just fine.

Master, does her voice sound strange to you?

We have to prepare her now.

It's probably just your ears.

[BIRDS TWEETING]

[CREAKING]

Hello?

Hey?

YOUNG JIANG: Does she miss me?

Does my bride miss me?

Young Master Jiang? You sound so weird.

I've been dead for a while, I can hardly speak.

Come here and help me.

MAN: Who is that?

YOUNG JIANG: That's Ling, my father's servant.

My father's servant.

MAN: Your father's servant? But Ling's a baby.

Who is that?

YOUNG JIANG: Was a baby.

She's grown up. You've been dead.

MAN: That's right, I forgot. It's been some time now.

[SCREAMING]

[VAMPIRES GROWLING]

What's happening?

I always thought the stories

of vampires were just rumors,

they're not?

They're real,

but we haven't known each other long.

Ah--

Everything I tell you is the truth.

[DOOR SLAMS]

THUNDER: I think you go down this way.

MASTER: They have been feeding, you see? Here, and here.

Soon they'll turn into vampires,

but they can be destroyed if they are exposed to the sun.

Master! Master.

All right, that's enough, come on. Okay.

Sir?

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

[MOANS]

Sasa--

I feel so dizzy.

[HOWLING]

What's that, what are those noises?

I'm scared, can you and I leave here now?

I'll go check.

I don't want you to leave.

Listen, do you still want to get married?

I gave you my word didn't I?

I won't lie to you.

Run!

Ahh!

Ahh!

Master!

What now, Master?

MASTER: It knows we're here.

It knows we're coming after him.

Master, it's broken.

Naturally.

He remembers this blade. He's still afraid of it.

Let's go.

You must stay here, or find a safe place in town to hide.

Please, let me come with you.

No, it's dangerous. You have to trust me.

I will come back.

But there's one thing you might do...

for me.

Name it.

I want to hear you say you'll wait.

I'll wait.

I'll see you soon, then.

[THUNDER BOOMING]

MASTER: Don't touch the gold!

Master, it's a wire mesh. Be careful!

JIANG: It doesn't matter why you are here,

because this is where you will all die.

[LAUGHING]

Jiang, this isn't what you want,

to be one of the living dead.

Why are you hanging on?

JIANG: I want an heir for my family.

It's all about family dignity and preserving the family name.

[WHEEZING]

You've been doing that your whole life. Let it go now.

Dragon, kill them for me,

and you can have all the gold you want.

[WHOOSH]

All right, it's a deal.

Give me my gold and you can have my sister.

She will continue your family legacy.

Spread out!

Ahh!

Get down!

[SCREECHING]

It's been feeding on Jiang and Dragon.

It's now as powerful as it's ever been.

Master, the sword!

Master!

I'll get the explosives. Get ready!

[THUNDER BOOMS]

Entangle him!

[PLUNGING SWORD IN BODY]

Master!

Master, Master!

Your hand.

Master, no!

Master, Master!

Get away from him.

[ALL MOANING]

Ahh!

Not fair!

[CROWD CHEERING]

[♪]

This is a great honor,

but as far as I'm concerned, it's all yours.

Sasa and I are going back to her village,

what about your plans?

As for Ling and I,

we're going to the Jiang house,

I mean the place shouldn't go to waste.

Hm. How about you?

I am also staying at the Jiang house,

just till I get work.

So for now, send your letters there. Heh.

What about you Rain? Huh?

Well, I don't have any plans,

I'll just go along with the crowd.

I'll be seeing you then.

Stay in touch.

See you.

Thunder, don't forget--

Team! Team!

Team!

Ready? Mm-hm.

See you.

Hya!

Let's hurry so we can get through the forest before dark.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Come one it's all right, now go!
