- Thanks.

- There's Butcher Wing.

Good morning.

Who left this banana skin lying around?

Good morning, Cheung.

What are you doing?

Those two pigs...

Do you want to buy them? I'll give you a discount.

But those pigs are mine!

Yours? Can you identify them?

No, all pigs look the same...

True. Say something nice and I'll give you the pigs.

- Butcher Cheung.

- Butcher Cheung? - No! Call me father.

- Why?

- I've got a beard.

So I am older.

Therefore I must be your father.

Call me father and I'll give you the pigs.

Screw you! I don't want them now.

I was just conned but I didn't say anything.

I can make money here!

Call him father and get two pigs!

- Butcher Cheung.

If I call you father, you'll give me the two pigs?

That's right.

Then you'd better listen.

Father!

Good!

Father!

Father!

Keep taking them like that and I'll call you father.

No! I don't want

a stupid and wasteful son like you!

- You idiot.

- Damn Wing!

Excuse me.

- Knight attacks!

- Block!

- Elephant!

- Stopped!

Leopard ready to pounce.

I'm ready for you.

Surrounding your General! You've got no move?

It's not that, it's that you haven't got a defence.

- Wait! Do you know the rules?

- Why?

You have to call before you take my rook.

No, I don't! Give it back to me

Give me back my rook!

- No, you cheat!

I'm not playing.

- Wait!

- This is robbery!

- I don't want to talk to you.

Give it back!

Robbery! Thief!

How could you! Stealing in broad daylight!

- Listen! He took my...

- He robbed you, didn't he?

- Did you rob him?

- No, I didn't.

Don't lie! Admit it!

OK, I admit it.

Do you feel guilty now?

Only because you've beaten me up.

No, he only took...

OK. Whatever you took, bring it out.

OK, I'll give it back to him.

Is this it?

- It's a chess piece!

- That's right, the rook.

- Are you OK?

- I hurt all over.

Why are you so badly hurt?

You beat me up!

Don't worry, I'll take you to the doctor myself.

"Five Dragons School"

Wood.

Water.

Fire.

Earth.

Good kung fu!

Your Palm of Five Elements

has developed magnificently.

It is now invincible.

I've been practising for the last 30 years.

I am second to none

when it comes to kung fu.

Dad!

Tai-hoi, shouldn't you be in Fukien on business?

You wasted the money drinking.

No!

But it's hard running a business now.

What a waste of a son! Can't hold up a wall with wet cement.

Godfather, your tea.

What are you staring at?

She's your godsister, Lan Hsing.

Go inside, Lan Hsing.

I'll go and get changed.

Master Ko!

What happened to you?

Wong Fei-hung's student Butcher Wing

beat me up.

There was no reason for doing it.

How dare he! He must be brave.

Yes, I told him I was from the Five Dragons School.

but he didn't care. He didn't care where I was from

and hit me even more.

He also said that

Wong Fei-hung said you were not that good,

and that you should change our school's name to Five Snakes.

He also said you'd do better serving snake dinners.

I want to see how good Wong Fei-hung is.

"Po Chi Lam Clinic"

- Take a seat, Master.

- OK.

Here, Master.

Wong Fei-hung!

Master Ko, why the surprise visit?

Who wouldn't want to pay a visit

to your famous school?

- Ah Su, bring some tea.

- Yes, Master.

Master Ko, please sit down.

I'm sorry, termites have been eating this chair.

What an interesting hobby.

You must have a fascination for calligraphy.

Not at all.

A brush can build a family

or bring peace to a nation.

I've practised the art of calligraphy myself.

Give me some comments on my style.

Brush controlled by wind and rain. Writing poetry for the spirits.

Your brush strokes are too extreme.

A stable heart and brush gives a stable stroke.

A stable heart, stance, brush

and stroke gives a stable word.

That's the only way to write.

Wild Grass.

"Kill."

The brush is like a dragon, each stroke made of iron.

Come on. Use strength.

Your wrist lacks the power to write a word.

My fingers are my brush.

Drop the wrist to write.

You've made a mess of the paper!

Concentrate on the tip of the brush.

The paper isn't messed up at all.

"A Good Man Has No Enemies"

If you can finish it, I'll carry your shoes.

Master Ko, take a look. Please.

Master! Are you really going to carry his shoes?

Do you know how to write the word "death"?

Do you know how to write "surrender"?

Surrender!

- He said he's surrendering.

- Shut up!

Wong Fei Hong! Why do you

allow your students to cause trouble?

They beat up one of my men

and have no respect for me at all.

Which one of you idiots did this?

Butcher Wing!

Master Ko! I must apologise.

I'll punish him

for beating up one of your people.

I promise it won't happen again.

Please forgive us.

All right! I'll take your word for it this time.

But the next time your students cross my path,

I'll tear your sign down.

Butcher Wing! Why are you always causing trouble?

Why?

- Master!

- Who is your Master?

- It was a mistake.

- I don't want to hear any more...

Wing, be careful! Don't break them or you'll be in more trouble!

I'm going shopping.

I assume you don't want anything?

Brother!

How did you know I was a man?

I could have been a woman.

From my experience,

that sort of smell couldn't be a woman.

What do you want?

Can I use your toilet, please?

Go straight then turn left

till you reach the wall.

Left again

and you're not far from it.

Thanks. How come it's so complicated?

Why is the toilet so small? You have to be accurate here!

The man next door

must be constipated.

That was good.

Have you seen this person?

Thank you.

Have you ever seen him?

- No. Ask someone else.

Thank you.

I heard that

my brother Wing works here.

I wonder where he is?

She's nice!

Would you recognise him?

This was taken 10 years ago,

before he left home.

- Good morning.

- Can I help?

I'm looking for this man.

Have you seen him?

He's called Lam Sai-wing.

Lam Sai-wing!

He's left.

You can find him in hell.

Get out of here. Go!

Come on.

Have you come from the villages looking for someone?

Have you seen him?

I've seen him.

How can you see it that way round?

Him? I know him. He's so thin.

He's called Skinny Pig.

Of course!

I used to go out with him a lot.

This picture is over 10 years old,

he'll be in his twenties now.

I've known him since he came to this town.

He's my elder brother.

He talks about you all the time.

You're his younger brother?

That's right. Where is he now?

He's fine. He's done well for himself.

- Let's go and find him now.

- Yeah!

This way.

This is your brother,

Skinny Pig.

- Are you really my brother?

- Yeah, that's me all right.

But you don't look like him.

Everyone says

I've not changed at all!

What's my nickname then?

I'm Skinny Pig and you're Fat Pig.

No!

Oh, I remember. You're Dumb Pig.

Both of you are con men.

Come on, let's go.

Stop them!

You don't treat him as your brother,

but he treats you as his brother.

- Yes!

- And he owes me 300 yen.

As his brother, you're responsible for that debt, too.

- But you said he was doing well.

- I did. - But he's got leprosy.

- Right!

And his luck has changed now.

You're trying to con me!

I don't care, give me the money.

Otherwise I'll take your wife!

I'll kill you if touch my wife.

Sai-kwong!

You want to fight me?

You must be tired of life.

I'll fight you even if you are stronger.

Let me go!

- Kill him.

- Sai-kwong!

Sai-kwong! Stop it!

Yuet-mei! Yuet-mei! I'll fight you to the death!

Sai-kwong!

Yuet-mei!

Sai-kwong!

How come we only practise these moves?

Yeah, it's been ages since

the Master taught us anything new.

Why are you criticising your Master?

We didn't say anything!

For punishment you have to buy Wing dinner.

Buy Wing dinner?

Trying to fool us, eh?

I fooled you though, didn't I?

Yeah, you did a good impression of the Master.

I'll show you some more.

l, Wong Fei-hung.

My mother died when she was young.

And this turtle is my father... my father's pet.

It wasn't bad, was it?

There's more.

You two, go and get me some chicken.

We'll have to strip... the feathers off the chicken.

Wing!

Wing what? Bring me a cup of tea.

- Is it good?

- Not bad,

just a little too cold.

Master!

I'll leave once you've finished your tea.

Master, please stay.

As you did a good imitation of me,

I think I'd better leave.

Look! I've already packed.

Master...I won't do it again.

Really?

- Master, are you going somewhere?

I need to buy some herbs

and visit the abbot Kwangsi. You stay here and

take care of the patients.

I forbid you

to cause any more trouble.

Master. Trust us,

we won't get into a fight.

- What happens if Master Ko comes?

- We'll beat him up!

I'll kill you

if I don't get my wife back!

I'll kill you!

Stop it, you'll kill him!

It's none of your business.

Go away!

Go away! or I'll start on you!

What? Threatening me? I'm not scared of anyone.

Catch this!

Just you wait.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, thank you.

I'm Tai-hoi, who are you?

I'm Butcher Wing. I sell pigs in the market.

Thanks for helping me.

I'll buy you a drink.

- There's no need.

- You must come!

You're to kind.

- I want you to be my guest.

- OK, if you insist.

I haven't had chicken for a long time!

Don't sit there playing with your feet!

The smell of them will poison my chickens.

I don't know what you're doing!

Damn chickens making so much noise!

You're a greedy one! Come down and eat.

Peck! Peck!

Don't drink if you can't take it.

It's easy to get yourself killed!

I'm a hopeless fighter. No good at being ferocious.

My wife has been taken.

I'm better off dead.

Just a minute, do you have a kitchen in here?

Sure, it's over there.

Thanks.

- Friend.

- What?

Can I use your kitchen,

as you won't need it?

Sure. Help yourself.

Good, thanks.

I can't even die in peace.

Hey! I'll take your money

since you won't need it.

Your clothes will fit me.

Since you don't need them.

You...!

Give me your trousers too.

You won't need them either.

Give me that rope too.

It won't do you much good.

I nearly suffocated!

- Can you still breathe?

- Just a bit.

Don't waste your breath, save it.

I'll need it.

Can I use your last breath for the fire?

You've changed!

Is Ko Tai-hoi really such a thug?

He is. And he's very powerful too.

I've heard he controls parts of this town.

Really? He's more powerful than the electric company.

So? What can you do?

What can I do? A few years ago 10 men couldn't bury me!

Old people always talk about the past.

Are you saying that I'm too old? Things get better with age.

Like wine The older, the smoother. Watch.

My arm is still as hard as rock.

My balance is still steady.

My fist is still powerful.

And even the wine is still strong!

Come in.

What can I get you?

Top-quality wine.

You must be joking!

- Near top-quality, then.

- Get out.

Just some ordinary wine, then?

No need.

I'm broke and you still owe me

10 yen from the domino game.

I'll pay you back when I want.

Do you need to shout about it?

I repay you!

- I only asked... - Well, don't.

What's the matter with you?

- Did you hit me?

- No, I was just scratching.

Then you're scratching me very hard!

- Do you want to fight?

- But I didn't do anything!

Why are you kicking the sole of my feet?

I've never done it this way before.

- How did you do it before?

- Like this...

Come on! Hit me, not the wine!

The wine hasn't done anything to you!

You'll have to pay for this.

I'll pay.

This is for you.

You'd better release

Lam Sai-kwong's wife.

- Whose wife?

- Stop pretending.

- I remember.

- Start talking.

She's with my brother now.

- Who's your brother?

- Wing.

- Where is he?

- He's hard to find.

I'll ask him to bring the woman

to the teahouse tomorrow.

- No tricks.

- No, no.

"The Welcome Teahouse"

That old man's got guts!

He's willing to mess with your wife.

Yes.

He said if I didn't hand over my wife

then I'll be in trouble.

That's why I asked you to come here.

Really? Am I that respected?

What did he say?

He said I'd better buy you a coffin and dig the hole.

How dare he!

We'll go and meet him now.

Why isn't he here yet? I'll wait at the entrance.

Where the hell is he? - Hey! Watch it, old man.

- Sorry.

Why isn't he here yet?

He's already here.

Hiding from me?

This is my big brother.

Ask him for the woman.

So, you're Butcher Wing?

What a smell! Have you washed yet?

Not yet. Waiter, can I have a bottle of your best wine?

Here.

You're not here just

to rinse your mouth, are you?

That's right! Now give me the woman!

Woman? There are all kinds of women,

which sort do you want?

You're funny, aren't you?

Not as funny as you.

- You sound like someone I know.

- Who?

Jesus! He preaches a lot, too.

- You remind me of someone I knew.

- Who?

Simon the Pimp.

He stole other men's wives. He was killed for it.

What are you saying?

I'm speaking very clearly.

Do you really think you're Jesus?

Stop preaching and hit him.

Do you still want her?

Of course I do.

You're old and everyone will say

I picked on you, so I'll let you hit me three times first.

OK, whatever you want.

Still two more hits to come!

No way! That's three punches rolled into one!

Let's forget the other two.

The Hung style. Who is your Master?

None of your business!

But you're not my Master.

Watch out for my farts!

Is it still Tiger style?

It's sick tiger.

Try my Crane manoeuvre.

Wing, are you all right?

I'm fine. I was just a bit careless.

You'd better be careful, then.

The Snake Thrust!

You're playing with snakes?

Hey, what are you doing?

My feet! My feet!

He isn't going to last any longer.

Are you going to give me the woman?

l, Lam Sai-wing, never will!

Even if you kill me!

- You're Lam Sai-wing?

- The one and only.

You must be bad,

stealing your brother's wife.

- What brother?

- Your younger brother, Sai-kwong!

He's Lam Sai-kwong!

You bastard!

Wait! Let me kill him.

But he's your brother - Skinny Pig.

I am Skinny Pig.

- Are you really?

- I am, it's me.

I'm not lying.

That's me.

The one in the picture's not as fat.

Do you know my nickname?

You were called Crazy Cow.

Right!

When you were small, I used to hit you like this.

Brother!

Brother!

Why did you help that thug against me?

I didn't know it was you.

If you didn't know, why did you help?

You've just hit me so we're even now.

Yeah, there's no use fighting.

That bastard's already got my wife.

What should we do?

Ko Tai-hoi! You've really caused me trouble.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Don't worry, I'm here to rescue you.

Really? Who are you?

Don't ask. Just follow me.

How dare you try to release my girl!

You don't know the meaning of pain.

If you release her, then you'll have to take her place.

Butcher Wing is here

and he's got an old man as hostage.

Keep an eye on them.

Hi, Tai-hoi!

Wing...

So, you took care of him, then?

When it comes to kung fu,

the younger the better.

He soon ran out of breath and I got him.

You must be good.

We'll lock him up in the storeroom

and then we'll go have a drink.

- Great!

- Let's lock him up.

Walk, old man!

- Why are you being so rough?

- He might get suspicious if I'm not.

Lock him in there.

Why are they guarding the room?

Is there gold inside?

Open the door! Open the door!

Let us go! Let us go!

No, that's my wife's room.

The guards are here to stop him from messing with her.

Why do you have to mess with other people?

If he says that, I'll mess with him.

- I don't believe it!

- Let me go and you'll find out.

It's OK as long as I'm here.

Now I'm going to mess with you!

Don't worry!

Hey, keep out of it.

Which one of you is Yuet-mei?

I'm Lam Sai-wing.

- I am.

- Come on.

- Hey...

- Her?

I'll rescue her, too.

- I'm...

You must be in the same situation.

Everything's done. Let's go and have a drink.

OK.
