- Hey, I'm Kwan-Yun.

Do you really think you are any match for us?

You won't get away with it.

- You're chief escort, if you wanna try.

(laughing)

Why don't you go ahead and stop me?

- No, Kwan-Yun, you've got far enough.

Now that I'm here I'll see that you're put in prison.

(swift thudding)

(grunting)

- Snake fist!

(shrieking)

(sneaky cinematic music)

(dangerous cinematic music)

- What are you doing here?

- Searching.

- [Man in Blue] What are you searching for?

- Is Ah-Fu hiding around here?

- So that's what you're looking for.

He's busy, went out on land scout duty.

Hey, you wanna enroll as his student?

(roars) (sharp slap)

- Talk!

You'd better telling me where they're going.

- Hey, why you hitting him?

(sharp slap) (groaning)

- Talk, tell me where they're going.

- [Man in Dark Blue] They went up to Chin-chao.

(groaning)

(adventurous cinematic music)

- My friends, I'm Ah-Fu.

Where do you guys come from and what do you want?

- None of your concern where we come from.

Shut your mouth, hand over the money!

- I have a chief escort for Northern Security,

(speaking in foreign language)

I've got friends in many places.

I know everyone there is to know.

So, why don't you just tell me.

who it is you're working for?

- We work for no one, none of your business.

- Master, don't waste time with him.

- Get him!

(men scuffling and grunting)

(loud wooden tapping)

(groans)

- Toes, huh?

- If you would ask me, you guys

certainly aren't professionals.

- I tell the truth, we come from Chin-lang-tang.

There's been no rain for a year, many died from thirst.

We're starving, we have no other choice.

We had to run, that's right.

- All right, you need money, that's easy.

I got some, come on.

- Hey Ah-Fu.

- It's all right brother.

- Hey Ah-Fu.

Hey Ah-Fu, what you doing?

- Master, can't you see how poor these people are?

We gotta do what we can do help.

Hey, come on, take the money and buy some food.

- [Poor Men] (cheering) Thank you.

- [Master] Hey, hold it!

- [Fu] No, don't worry.

All right brother, it's okay.

- Ah-Fu, you just gave them 3,000 gold pieces.

You ain't got that.

- Master, don't worry, I don't mind working until

it's all paid off.

Why don't you just deduct it from my salary?

- You're salary?

You're going to ruin my business.

- Look, I said I would pay you back.

- Hey, Ah-Fu!

- [Voiceover] Hey, come on, sit down.

Join us. (evil laughing)

(comical harmonica music)

- [Man in White] I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Hey, look there, fancy carriage.

(horse galloping)

- Must be some rich lady.

(upbeat traditional music)

- [Man in White] I'm sorry, pal.

(old man mumbles)

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

- You're still so young.

Why throw your life away?

You don't have to steal.

Look here, you should be ashamed.

Huh? Well?

Do you agree not to do it again?

- I won't, I wont. (comical harmonica music)

- That's right!

- Yes, yes.

(laughs)

(people chatting)

- [Host] Come in.

Waiter, hurry it up!

Sit, sit.

What would you like to order?

- Bring me some tea and some cold meat.

- Yes, coming.

Ah-Fu, I thought you were on escort.

What are you doing back here?

Come inside,

- No, thanks, I don't want to sit down.

Mr. Ting, I quit the security business.

I want to come here and work for you, anything at all.

Can you work me in?

- Ah-Fu, you've got to be joking.

This is such a small place.

How can I employ a famous fighter like you?

(laughs)

- Thanks anyways.

- Manager!

Manager, I wonder if you'd tell me who that man is?

If you ask me, he comes from a rich family.

- Mister, he's very well-known around here.

He worked for the Northern Security Company.

He's famous for his snake fist fighting style.

- Ah!

But is he rich?

- Of course he is, every time that he comes here,

he always gives us plenty of tips.

(menacing orchestral music)

(snoring)

(exciting traditional music)

- Hey, my friend.

You wouldn't have found any money by any chance?

- No, I haven't, this guy's poor.

Can't you see that?

(yells out)

- [Fu] Hey, hey!

- Stop, please, don't hit me.

You don't scare me, but just please don't hit me.

- Easy man, if you picked up anything valuable,

then I want to share it with you.

- Mister, what are you talking about?

So do you understand net worth, you have nothing of value.

- I know I don't have anything,

I've been looking for something all day.

I haven't found anything at all that's valuable.

If you should come up with something worthwhile,

then good luck to you.

- In that case, I'll go.

- Hey, don't go yet, let's sit down and have a chat.

Sit down.

Have some tea.

- Mister, what's the matter with you?

You're even more worse off than I am,

if I do say so myself.

- But you're a thief, and I'm just a poor man.

That's true, and you're bad luck

that you should have met me.

- Wait a minute, we're in a similar situation.

Wouldn't you agree?

So if I might suggest, maybe we'll become good friends.

We can work together.

- All right, my name's Ah-Fu.

- I'm Li-Chi.

The manager already told me that you used to

work for the Northern Security Company.

So how come you're now so poor?

- (sighs) It's a long story, let's forget it.

You've got so much jewelry.

Why do you need to be a thief?

- (laughs) They are artificial, I use them as bait.

I steal from those who try to steal from me.

Ha, come with me.

What do you say?

You'll have a good life with me, you'll see.

- Huh, you want me to steal?

- [Li] Yeah!

- I refuse and you must stop.

- But then what are we going to do?

- Since I'm an expert at Kung Fu, I will teach.

(happy, bright traditional music)

- Ah- Fu, do you recon' they will hire you to teach?

- How can I know for sure until I try?

- Hey, Ah-Fu, let's get one thing understood.

If they don't, we'll try my way, you have to follow me.

Because we can't just sit here and starve.

- I agree.

(grunting) (sharp thuds)

- Can you do that?

- No worry, piece of cake.

- [Warrior in Brown] Monkey leg!

Monkey climbing!

- Ah-Fu, if you're not positive that you're going to win,

then let's get out of here now, before it's too late.

If they should break your legs,

I won't be able to pay a doctor.

- Just watch me.

- Monkey dancing!

You wanna learn Kung Fu?

- I want to be an instructor.

- So you're that good, eh?

- I'm not bad, good enough to teach you lots.

- Master, let me sort this smart alley cat for you.

- All right.

- How's that then?

- Hm, not bad at all, but now it's my turn.

(air swishing)

(grunting)

- Master, hurt yourself bad?

- Hey Master, am I qualified to be an instructor?

- Since you defeated me, I'll have to go without my gym.

I won't have any business left, get the hell out of here.

(valiant orchestral music)

- [Li] A man should keep his promise, and since you failed

to get a job, now it's my turn.

(Li laughs)

- Hey, my friend.

Are you sure it's going to work?

- Of course, everybody likes making some money.

If anyone does buy, I"ll wait for you

at the entrance to town.

Don't worry, it'll work.

(violent tapping)

- Brother, we must avenge our sister, we must kill him!

Or I'll never forgive myself!

- Brother, just be patient.

He knows that we're looking for him.

And he's been warned by the police as well.

So he is going to lay low for awhile.

We'll see who can last out longest.

We'll get him.

(horse neighs) (royal cinematic music)

(screams out)

Old man, did you arrest this man?

- That's right, and I'm taking him into the police.

So I can obtain the reward.

- Will you sell him to us instead?

- Sell him?

Uh, hm.

- [Brother in Blue] Well what do you say?

Well, will ya?

- How much will you pay me?

- Rewards 300, we'll pay you 350.

- No way, 400.

- Okay, 400 it is.

- Uh?

No, I changed my mind, I want five.

- You can't just change your mind, it isn't fair.

- You answered me back much too quickly

If you're not this guy's enemy, then you must be his friend.

Then you must pay, it's fair.

- Damn it, if I cut your throat, you won't get a dollar.

- Huh.

Don't try to scare me.

Do you think if I could arrest this guy on my own

that I can't take care of three guys like you?

- All right, 500 it is.

- Huh? (chuckles)

Tell me, is he your enemy?

Or is he your friend?

- He raped and killed our sister.

- Oh, so you want to kill.

- We'll cut him into little pieces.

- All right.

(chuckles)

But I warn, he is tricky.

You better make sure that you do kill him,

or he'll catch you.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

He's a mean customer.

Huh?

(laughs) Bye-bye!

- Hey now you just bare this in mind.

You're never gonna get into town alive! (grunting)

(sharp slap) (Fu cries out)

- You've got guts.

I'm gonna burn you alive and jump on your head

to revenge our sister.

- Why don't you take me to the police and get the reward?

- You raped and killed my baby sister.

Do you think I'm going to let you off so lightly?

- You want to kill me?

- Kill you?

You betcha!

- Mister, you've got the wrong man.

Take a look. (rips off prosthetic)

Can't you see that it's false?

That old man forced me to do it.

Can't you see he tricked ya?

- We know your kind.

Stop pretending!

We know you're the beard.

- [Brother in Blue] Let's do it now.

(grunting) (sharp snapping)

(whooshing)

(hissing)

- That's it, hurry up, I have to go quickly.

- Coming, you, you don't (mumbles) so much.

Why the big hurry?

(yells out)

- Take it easy man.

- Hey, don't talk so much!

- [Li] Hey, take it easy!

- [Barber] Oh shut up!

(whimsical traditional music)

(crying out)

- If anybody should buy you, I'll wait for you

at the entrance to town. (razer scraping)

Li-Chi, I'm so glad to see you.

- [Li] Ah-Fu! (whimpering)

- You're the one that dreamed up this scheme!

I almost got buried alive by those men!

- Ah-Fu, I was waiting for you down by the river a very

long time, I didn't see you so I decided to come here.

I still got the $500.

What are we going to do now?

- Do you agree to do what I say?

No more stealing or lying or cheating?

We'll get money on our own.

- (sighs) That means we're gonna starve to death.

Huh?

- [Man in Blue] Okay, now don't worry about it.

- Looks like we meet up with them again.

- Hey, brother, don't worry, I can handle it for you.

Leave them to me.

- Brother, don't worry about it, we'll find the beard.

- Hey. (men screaming)

Don't run away, come here.

Listen. (whispering)

- Is this the guy who hides the beard?

- Now, why should I lie to ya?

But it's very difficult to persuade him to come here.

Don't you want to get your revenge?

- [Men] Revenge, you bet!

(men cheering)

(shouting)

(Li stuttering)

- Ow!

What do you want?

- We're gonna skin you alive!

- Me? My skin?

Ah-Fu, come here and safe me!

- My friend, this is your own doing.

Handle it yourself, see ya!

- Ah-Fu, you can't leave me here.

- Talk, the beard, where is he?

- The beard?

But I don't have any beard, only a few whiskers.

Ow!

(loud thudding) (Li groaning in pain)

No, no, no!

- You stupid bastard.

- [Li] I'm sorry, oh, I'm sorry.

- I'll teach you bastard.

Where are you hiding the beard?

- Mister, really I don't know.

I don't even know who he is.

- You don't know, don't try and give us that one.

- Please, you can't do that, do whatever you like,

but don't pull out my whiskers, I'm warning you.

- You really are scared, huh.

Okay, I'm gonna do it.

(Li screaming) (active cinematic music)

(brisk zapping)

(Li laughing)

- Bravo.

Your kung fu is quite good.

- It's all right, I suppose, but I only use it when gets

my whiskers a tug, then I'll get mad.

Then I'll fight anyone.

- Hey brother, I got some money here.

I'll buy you a meal.

Hey, now brother, listen, you promised me.

- Uh, all right.

- Okay, let's go.

Brother, let's drink a toast.

Hey brother?

It's not easy to be a teacher.

You're not meant to win, nor can you lose.

And I'm not used to that.

- Heh, you're right.

Who can train fighters will get beaten up.

- Train fighters?

- What's wrong, haven't you heard of them?

Their fighter's trainer, a sparing partner.

He's like a guinea pig in the ring.

What happens?

You get beaten all the time.

It's well paid, the job is better than nothing.

- We can do that.

- What?

What did you say?

- I could be a fighter's trainer.

- Huh?

Have you gone out of your mind?

You're asking to get yourself killed.

- Me, killed?

But it's a sight better than stealing.

Let me tell you.

I've tried that game before, I can handle myself.

- But I won't do it, you can.

You can do it, but not me, no way.

- Excuse me miss, I'm sorry but no more tables.

- They're all full?

- [Waiter] Yes.

- [Fu] What do you say?

- [Li] I don't like it.

No.

- Nothing to worry about, I guarantee you.

Everything's going to be all right.

- [Female] Hey.

- She talking to us?

- Who are you calling?

- You.

- Huh, but I don't know you.

- You don't have to know me if I call you to come here.

- [Men] Huh?

- You!

- Look miss, his name is not, "Hey!".

Have you got that?

- (giggles) So what is your name then?

- Ha, I am Li-Chi and he's Ah-Fu.

- Well, I will call, "Hey".

Anyway you turned around when you should

have known I was calling you.

- What is it that you want?

- I want you to leave.

This is my table you've got.

- And what if we refuse to leave?

- That's simple, I'll have to change your mind.

(screaming)

- Hold on, hold on.

Hit him, don't hit me, I don't know how to fight Kung Fu.

- And now my friend, let this be a lesson you won't forget.

- Go get him!

There he is, go on.

(grunting)

(laughs)

Look over there.

(laughs)

(goon cries out) Now, now, ah!

- Oh!

- Miss, would you like us to give our table to you now?

(sharp slapping)

(female cries out)

- You can't hit me.

- You hit me, why shouldn't I hit you back?

- But you can't hit me because I'm a girl.

- Is a girl a human being?

- Yes, of course I am.

- And if I girl can fight a man, then why on earth

can't a man fight a girl?

- (laughing) Exactly, a lovely girl like you

should defend yourself.

- Hey lady, I'm just trying to teach you to be more polite.

So don't forget it next time.

Brother, let's go.

(man in blue groaning in pain)

- Excuse me miss, but I think we better go home.

At least there, nobody dares to bother you.

- I'm not going, unless my brother comes and gets me.

- But Miss, the master meant that your a girl

and never come back, he was only afraid that you

might get hurt if you stayed.

Besides, what about those two guys that just hit you?

Surely you're not going to let them get away with it.

(city bustling)

- Hey brother, what are you pulling such a long face for?

I promise you the finest training,

you're not going to get killed.

- I don't want to get hurt.

Ah-Fu, if you want to get hurt then go ahead on your own,

but leave me out of it, understand?

- Hey brother, you haven't forgotten, you're the one

who said, "We should be friends, that we should

"stick together no matter what".

- But I didn't include getting hurt.

- All right, stick with me, I swear it will be all right.

- I don't believe you.

- Do you really think I'm going to get myself killed?

- Uh...

Of course not.

- What's the problem then?

Anyways, if the worst comes to the worst, I'll die first.

Hey brother, fighting gym called "The Four Seas".

Let's go and try our luck out there.

- What you call luck, my bad luck, I wish I could--

- Okay.

(chivalrous traditional music)

- I never lied to you in my life.

My sister has decided to go away from me.

- Ha-ha, Mr. Lu, your sister insulted my friend.

We're not going to leave here until she apologizes.

- What will you do if she isn't here?

- (laughs) That's simple, you're gonna let

your sister marry me, if not, we'll pull down your gym

until nothing is left.

(tall man grunts)

- All right, let's see how far you get trying to do that!

(men scuffling and grunting)

Go back and tell you master, as long as I'm here,

The Four Season Gym will stay standing.

- Mr. Lu, we'll be back soon.

Let's go. (tall man grunts)

(dark orchestral music)

- [Fu] Mister--

- [Li] Mister.

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm Ah-Fu, he is Li-Chi.

We've come here looking for a job.

- Oh?

What are your qualifications?

- Well, I'm--

- Mister, he's saying that he doesn't know

how to do anything, but we're both prepared to work.

- You know nothing?

What use can you be to me then?

- We might have no qualification, but you see,

we're both very strong, so if you agree to let us stay,

we could be fighter's trainers.

- Fighter's trainers?

- That's right, I have a very strong body.

(nervous vocalizing)

(Li cries out)

(Fu cries out)

(chuckles) You see, I wouldn't lie to you.

We're both very strong and fit.

- Good-eye.

Find these two a room at the back.

And pay them $1 every month.

- Yes sir.

- Thank you Master.

- All right, follow me.

- I think you've gone crazy, we can easily get some money.

We don't have to be fighter's trainers.

(imperial traditional music)

- So Lu-Chung refuses to make the deal?

- That's right, and he said, "As long as he's there,

"the gym won't be destroyed."

- Brother...

He's asking for trouble.

Why don't we take this opportunity of getting

rid of him for good?

- Shut up, all you're good for is chasing girls.

You don't know nothing.

You think Lu-Chung's that easy to deal with?

- He's not that good a fighter.

If by-power to fight him, he will stand on-earth-ly.

- Don't look at me, you have to pay me before

I agree to do it.

- How much do you want?

- $10 for each man in the gym.

Lu-Chun-Chung, $1,000.

Miss Lu, another $1,000.

- Hum...

All right, when are you going to make a star-dom?

- Mister, you know the way I work.

I like to know everything about my enemy

before I fight them.

- I hope you don't take too long about it.

I've almost run out of patience.

(Li groaning)

(thick slapping)

- First of all, the target faced as to be fast.

Use your hands and your legs.

And now, I'm gonna teach you a few more of the movements.

Wah!

This is called a tiger's spread.

And this is called the tiger's paw.

- Why you only hitting me?

Why not hit him too?

- This is called the tiger jump!

(crying out)

- Hey teacher, you be careful.

- The tiger touches the chicken.

Stand up straight.

Don't stick in your stomach like that.

And now, you practice by yourselves.

- It's really not my lucky day, I've had a bad one

since I met you.

- Ha, brother, what are you moaning about?

It's better than stealing.

- But I'm hurt all over.

(dangerous cinematic music)

- Hey Ah-Fu, look.

Hey brother, what's wrong with you?

Why are you so afraid of her?

She's only a girl.

- Uh.

- [Lu] Sister!

- Brother!

- Damn it, how come it has to be her.

- That's done it, we've lost our jobs now.

Come on.

- Don't make any trouble.

Kung-Pai isn't that easy to fight.

- I'm not afraid of him.

- Ah-Fu?

Ah-Fu, what are you doing there?

You needn't hide, come here.

I'll introduce you to Miss Lu.

- Yes, coming.

(shameful cinematic music)

- [Fu and Li] Hello Miss Lu.

- What's the matter with you?

Turn around, stop hiding!

- [Fu and Li] Hello Miss.

- So it's you.

- What's wrong, you know these two?

I just hired them to be fighter's trainers here.

- Master--

- Brother, it's my mistake, but I thought I met them before.

I thought they were the two ruffians that I met yesterday.

You said, that you hired them as fighter's trainers?

- That's right, they're both very strong and fit.

They're ideal fighter's trainers.

- What a surprise, and I'm in need for a bit of practice.

I think I'll test them out.

(Li stammering)

Oh, actually, he wasn't lying, you body is strong.

- Miss Lu!

- [Fu] Miss Lu!

- Miss!

- Miss Lu. (cries out)

- Who would have guessed that you could be

as strong as all-that.

- Yeah, I am.

Miss Lu.

- Talk.

Why pretend you don't know kung fu?

Has Sheng Kuan sent you to make trouble?

- Miss Lu, you see, we don't have any money at all.

We want to make a living.

- If you're lying to me, I'll tear you into small pieces.

- Yes. (sharp slapping)

- Is a woman allowed to hit a man?

- Yeah, sure.

- Is a man allowed to hit a woman?

- Oh, no, no.

- Sister, all right, now let's go inside and talk.

We must deal with Sheng Kuan.

- Ah-Fu, how are you?

I think we'd better go back to stealing.

- Stop your moaning, or I'll shut you mouth permanently.

- Ah? Oh.

(grunting) (sharp slapping)

(terrifying orchestral music)

- Chief escort Tan, I'll ask you one more time.

Where can we find Ah-Fu?

- Wan-quan-ping, you don't have to look for Ah-Fu.

Because I'm the only who killed him.

- What with your kung fu?

You could never beat him.

Now, if you don't tell me where Ah-Fu has gone,

I'll turn you into a cripple for the rest of your life.

(high-pitched whistling)

- Talk, where is Ah-Fu?

- Even if you kill me, I will never tell you that.

- Please, there's no need to kill him.

I can tell you where to find him.

- That's enough, don't tell him.

(cracking and hissing)

- [Soldier] Chief, no chief escort!

- Where's Ah-Fu?

Talk!

- He's a Western city, near the candle shop.

That's where he is.

(luxurious traditional music)

- Our master pays you wages to work, not to lay around.

Hurry up, come on quick.

- [Li] All right, all right.

- Up now.

- Aw, we climbed over seven hills already.

- No talking, unless I say you can talk, now come on.

- Ah-Fu, let's go.

- [Miss Lu] Go down.

- Ah!

- What's wrong, have you gone deaf?

Did you hear what I said?

Go down!

- Hey Miss Lu, he can't stand it anymore.

- I said, "No talking".

Do you hear me?

That's enough, let's go.

(Miss Lu cries out)

- You!

- You too.

(poles clanking)

- You get back here!

- Hey, Ah-Fu, now you agree, no more training partners.

- Yeah, I quit.

- Good, (mumbles), I've been waiting for you to say that.

Come on, we'll go back to my old trade.

Back to stealing.

(Miss Lu grunts)

- Well, what are you doing, just standing around for.

Go and teach him a lesson.

- [Goons] Yes!

Ah!

(bodies rumbling)

- Miss Lu, I want to teach you how to act

like a human being.

Every person has a right to respect.

You can order me to do anything, but you cannot insult me.

- Right, Miss Lu, we're not different from you.

We're human beings to you know.

- [Fu] Brother, let's go. - Right.

- [Miss Lu] Ah-Fu, wait a moment.

- What now?

- I want you to stay, and help protect our gym.

- You want us to stay?

- That's right.

- But aren't you angry with us?

- Yes, of course I am.

- Then why do you still want us to stay with you?

- Because...

You're the first men who ever dared to stand up to me.

- All right, we'll go back with you.

- Good, hey wait!

You and you.

Head back up. - [Goons] Huh?

(joyous traditional music)

- Master Lu, our master sent me to

give you his reply.

Will you agree to let your sister marry our second master?

- What if I still refuse?

- You better not refuse.

- Who are you?

- Mr. Lu, you know him?

He's Pai-Pow.

- Ghost Killer Pai-Pow?

- That's right, and if you refuse our master's request,

I'm gonna destroy your gym.

- You've got a big mouth.

- Pai-Pow, before you can do that, you'll first

have to deal with me.

(men scuffling)

- Lu-Chun-Chung, I'm going to kill you if you refuse.

- Why don't you try to kill me?

- Eh? (laughs)

Lu-Chun-Chung, my brothers final word, he'll give you

two days to think, unless you agree to do it by then,

don't say you weren't warned.

Don't blame me for what happens to you.

- Uh!

- Why didn't you tell Mr. Lu about us?

That you knew we knew kung fu?

- Yeah, why?

- Because I wanted to get revenge.

But now that's changed and we've become friends.

If you didn't want him to know, why should I tell him?

- Miss Lu!

Miss Lu, I'm glad you've come.

Your brother's badly hurt.

- Sister, now take it easy.

You cannot defeat Kahn-Kwai.

- No, I'm going it out with him right now.

We can't just sit back and do nothing until he comes back.

No, let's go, we have no other choice but to fight.

- Master, Miss Lu is right, we've go to do something.

- Kahn-Kwai's kung fu is good, it's too good.

He'll kill you if you go there alone.

- Eh, Master, you needn't worry, my brother will fix it.

You'll see.

(Li cries out)

- But what if he doesn't do it?

- But he will, and he'll also take care of your-wo-ot.

- Brother, forgive me for disobeying you like this.

But after I've taken my revenge, I will come back here

and you can punish me then.

- Sister!

- Who else will come?

Follow me.

- Ah-Fu, why aren't you going?

- What's the matter, why you so keen?

Recon' you can steal something there?

I'll tell you, I'm not going.

- At least $2,000, easy.

(laughs)

- Pai-Pow, if you succeed in getting a hold of

The Four Seas Gyms for me, I'll give you $5,000.

- (laughs) Pai-Pow.

If you should get a hold of that Miss Lu for me too.

Make her marry me, and I'll give you 1,000 gold pieces.

- Sure, I give you my word.

(shouting and scuffling)

- Hold it!

How dare you walk in here?

You can't come in here without permission.

- Mr. Kahn, you sent your men to hurt my brother.

Well, I have come to pay you back.

- I hurt your brother.

Why not come after me?

- Miss Lu, he's the one that hurt Master.

- All right, I'll take you to the police.

- Just try, not gonna be that easy.

- [Fu] Hold it.

(victorious cinematic music)

- Ah-Fu, so you've finally come.

- After all, we are friends, I can't stand by and see

you pushed around by like this.

- Who are you?

How dare you come here uninvited?

- Mister, I'm not afraid of anyone.

I'll go wherever I want.

Is there anything else?

- Very good.

Now what's your name?

- Snake Fist Ah-Fu.

- Oh, I know you, you're the man who killed

Nan-Kwan-Yun, are you not?

- That's me.

- Master, he's worth $10,000.

- I know, I'll take $15,000.

Sure, you just leave him to me.

- You sure you won't change your mind 'cause otherwise

its gonna be the lat job you'll ever do.

- Let's see how good you are at kung fu.

- Hey, get a hold of that.

Did you see my brother's kung fu?

Ha, you guys just aren't in the same league with him.

- Snake fist Ah-Fu, you really do know kung fu.

- Of course, would you like to have a try?

- (giggles) How are you?

- I'm fine. (Li groans)

- Ah-Fu, help me.

- You want a beating, just pull on his whiskers.

(squeaking) (screaming)

(quick swishing)

- You bastard, I'll teach you to do that to me.

(playful traditional music)

Oh!

- Now we'll see how good your kung fu really is.

(snake hissing)

(wrist racheting)

(cat shrieking)

- Mr. Kang, from now on, if you value

your life, you better stay away from The Four Seas gym.

- Ah-Fu, you were great.

- Yes, Ah-Fu, go on, we're finished.

Come along this way.

- Master, you were.

- Send men from Nan-Kwan-Ping.

- Yes, sir.

(imperial traditional music)

- Here are some lemons.

- Here is some towel to clean your hands.

- Mister Fu, Mister Li, I made this tea especially for you.

It's my own blend, please go ahead, taste it.

- Go on taste it.

- Ah-Fu, I never knew that you were really the famous

Snake Fist Ah-Fu.

I'm very sorry for what's happened.

- Oh, that's all right.

- Master, please don't mention it.

I was able to defeat them because I was lucky this time.

- Ah-Fu, there's one thing I don't understand.

If you're so good at kung fu, why should you work

as a fighter's trainer?

- Hm, when one is so famous, it's not easy to get a job.

They don't want me around.

I prefer just being an ordinary man in the street.

- Now you've helped me.

Aren't you afraid of Kahn-Kwai?

- Afraid of him?

As long as we are both here,

there's no need to worry.

(laughs)

- You bastard, as long as Ah-Fu is staying

at our gym, why not let him be our teacher?

Perhaps we can learn some of his snake fist technique.

- Well, will you agree to it?

- Master, he'll agree, he wants to be a teacher.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll do it.

It'll be all right.

- Hm.

(frightening cinematic music)

(lively world music)

- [Man in Orange] Come on you.

- What kind of cobra do you call that?

(mumbles)

Move your arms,

and your legs, move in your stomach and head.

Hey, don't be so idle, now get up.

- Brother, do you really want me to do it?

- Yes, because this is

the only way to keep him here.

As long as he's here, our gym will never be attacked.

Kahn-Kwai is too afraid of him.

- But if...

But if he should refuse me?

- Then, I have another idea which might work.

- In the snake fist, the basic point

is to get your steps right.

Main things are your speed and accuracy.

Now, I'll give you a demonstration.

You two, come here.

You must use more speed to get the egg.

And you have to be accurate.

Did you see how I did it?

(applause)

I want you to practice doing the same thing.

Whoever gets the most, I'll give him $10.

(shouting and grunting) (exciting world music)

(cries out in pain)

- [Li] Thank you.

(egg cracks)

(laughing)

All right, stop it, now let me see who's got the most eggs.

- Ah-Fu, I got the most, look. (chuckles)

- You get those yourself?

Never, you stole them from the others.

- Ah-Fu!

Ah-Fu, the master wants to see you.

- Why? What's the matter?

- The master will tell you.

Brother, you have to come with me.

- Okay, all right.

- What's the matter?

(whispering)

- Master, what did you say?

- Ah-Fu, I just said that I will Yu-lan marry you.

Don't you want to marry her?

- You mean that she can really be my wife?

- That's right.

What do you think?

All right, I know that she's a spoiled brat,

but you know, she has a very good heart,

and I want her to have a good future.

So I want you to be her husband.

- But Master--

- Ah-Fu, you stupid fool.

This is ideal opportunity for you.

Now, why are you hesitating?

- Do you agree?

- Well, speak up.

- No, I cannot marry her.

- [Li] But Miss Lu is such an attractive girl,

she's such a lady.

How could you refuse to marry her?

- No, I can't marry her and that's all there is to it.

- Ah-Fu!

Tell me, why don't you want to marry me?

Do you think I'm ugly or am I dishonest?

What are your reasons for refusing?

- You're pretty and very nice.

If you're the only girl in the world, I'd still would

refuse, goodbye now.

- Not matter what you say, no matter what,

I'll still go after you.

- Now don't forget, I'll give you $1,000.

- You just leave it to me, I'll fix everything.

You two, come with me.

(ornate traditional music)

Miss Lu, now don't you worry,

just come with me.

â*« This old man, he played two

â*« He played nick-nack on my shoe

â*« With a nick-nack, patty-whack, hold my little bone

â*« This old man came rollin' home

â*« This old man, he played three

â*« He played nick-nack on my knee â*«

- Where's he gone?

- Mister, come again.

Hey, Miss, no girls allowed, sorry.

- Who says that girls can't go in?

I'm going in.

- Out of the way!

â*« This old man, he played six, he play nick-nack â*«

- [Naked Man] It's a woman!

(water splashing) Get out of here!

- Hey lady, if you don't leave here, I'm gonna have

to close the place down.

- Hey, how much is this business worth to you?

- Hey lady, what's in it for you?

- Will this some of money be enough to cover--

- Of course, of course.

Young lady, you just tell me what it is I can do for you.

- Tell all your customers to leave at once.

- Oh yes, yes.

Sorry gentleman, make yourself decent.

We're closed for the day.

Come on now, get your towel on. (men complaining)

- [Customer] Let me have my money back.

- Where's Ah-Fu?

- Huh, eh.

(banging)

(bubbling)

(spitting)

(sniffling)

(laughs) Ah-Fu you can't get away, 'cause I've come

here to stop you.

- You, I thought you were a friend of mine.

Why do you want to help them?

- Look, I'm sorry but they gave me $1,000.

So I had no other choice, now did I?

- Ah-Fu I'm going to get you, I won't give up until I do.

- Miss Lu, there's no need to push so hard.

- But I like ornery.

What's the matter?

- You better not push me so hard.

Watch it will ya?

You're gonna kill me.

(proclaiming)

- Why are you guys standing here?

Can't you see Ah-Fu's finished?

Come look after him.

- Yes.

Teacher, here's a towel.

- Ah-Fu don't be so stupid.

Come on, get up.

- Okay.

Hey, now take it easy, will ya?

Ow, can't you take it easy on me?

(laughs)

Hey, haven't they ever worked in a bath house before?

- (laughs) We have all kinds of people train at our gym.

They'll try their hand at anything.

- Ah-Fu, (laughs).

I'll leave you to talk to Miss Lu, I've gotta go.

- No, brother, you can't leave me.

Miss Lu, what are you doing?

- I'm going to look after you.

- Miss Lu, but you can't, not yet anyway.

We're not married, you must leave me.

- Don't be scared, my brother said that I could marry you.

So now you're my husband.

There's nothing wrong with it.

- Miss Lu...

You sit down here, and you and I will have a talk.

- But there's nothing left to say.

- You gotta leave me.

- Why? Where do you expect me to go?

- All right then, I'll go.

(shouts)

Miss Lu, I'm begging you, go away.

(door squeaks)

- Ah-Fu!

What have you done to her?

You can't get away with this?

- Brother, he insulted me.

- I know you're a famous hero.

But there's still no need for you to insult her.

- But I did nothing, she insulted me.

- And what does that matter?

The two of you were locked in this room.

If anyone found out about it, she'd live the rest

of her life in disgrace.

- Oh, I understand, this is your way into tricking

me into it.

- Ah-Fu, it isn't a trap, it's a fact now.

If I let it be know that you insulted my sister,

who do you think they'll believe.

Not you, that's for sure.

- You're really go it all worked out.

- That's right, you agree to marry her?

- No!

- Ah-Fu!

I'm sorry, but you have to marry Miss Lu.

- Why's that?

- Mr. Lu promised me that if you do marry her,

he will give me $1,000.

Ah-Fu, I thought that we were both brothers.

- Yeah.

- And that we're gonna stick together.

- Yeah.

- So you're asking me to pass up

the first big money I've seen in my whole life?

- No, I'm not.

- Good, then you're gonna marry her.

- No.

- And I promise I won't talk for three days.

(firecrackers exploding)

- [Voiceover] Bow to the gods!

Bow to the parents.

Bow to each other.

(celebratory traditional music)

Enter the bedroom.

(cheering)

(pleading)

- Ah-Fu, today is the happiest day of your life.

Please forgive me, I know I can never keep my mouth shut.

You know I'd die if I couldn't talk for three days.

- (laughs) I knew you could never stand it.

Hey brother, help yourself to the wine.

- Ha-ha, that's right, you're good to me.

You're my brother.

- Mr. Nan, Master's not feeling very well.

He couldn't come to meet you.

Accept his apologies, out of town.

Please.

(ominous orchestral music)

Nan-Kun-Ping to see Mr. Kahn.

- Mister, sit down.

- Mister, have you caught a cold or?

- I got hurt in a fight.

- But who could have hurt you?

- The man who hurt me, is the same guy

that killed your brother.

- What's that?

Do you mean the Snake Fist Ah-Fu has been here?

- That's right, that's why I sent my men to

ask you to come here.

- Where is he now?

- The Four Seas Gym.

(gasps)

(hollow tapping)

(cymbals gonging)

(shouts)

- Yu-lan, it's late now, we'd better go to sleep.

Ow, what are you doing now?

- Didn't you say if I was the only girl in the world,

you still wouldn't marry me?

- Hey, that's all in the past.

Why do you mention that now?

- It may be in the past, but before we both go to bed.

I'm going to test your kung fu.

- Why do we have to do that?

- I say so.

- All right, if that's what you want, then we'll do it.

- Yu-lan, this is called snake and the pretty girl.

Now, do you (mumbles) me better?

This one is called snake sheds its skin.

Do you like it?

(playful traditional music)

Yu-lan, you don't have enough clothes on.

You better go to bed.

How about it, do you admit that you've lost to me?

Now this one's called the end of the snake.

- Ah, Ch-chi-zee, just as well that Ah-Fu agreed

to marry his sister.

(alarming cinematic music)

What are you doing here?

- Who are you?

- Don't you ask who I am, just tell Ah-Fu to come out.

- Hm, you'll have to beat me first of all,

before I tell you where Ah-Fu is.

- Hey Master, you haven't fully recovered yet.

- It's his, it's his.

- [Man in Vest] Yeah.

- Master!

- Mr. Nan-Kun, this man is Snake Fist Ah-Fu.

- At last, I have finally caught up with you.

- Who are you?

What do you think coming in here like this?

- I am Nan-Kun-Ping, I believe you have heard of my brother.

Nan-Kwan-Yun, he was murdered by you.

- I see, so you come here to get revenge.

- That's right, I'm going to make you pay for it.

(snake hissing)

(grunting)

(deep inhale) (bird chirping)

(deep inhale) (bird chirping)

(exhales)

- Father!

- Get out of here, get out.

- No, father.

- Have you got rid of Ah-Fu?

- Master, we've searched everywhere in town,

but we can't find them anywhere.

Maybe, they've all been killed.

- If they are all dead, find their corpses.

I want you to search everywhere.

I want you to find Ah-Fu.

- Sir.

- Ah-Fu, you mustn't let yourself be sad.

Once you've recovered, we'll get our revenge.

We've got lots of time.

(victorious cinematic music)

(breathing deeply)

(grunting)

- That's good, isn't it.

(dangerous cinematic music)

(ring rumbling)

(clay smashing)

- [Li] Where is he?

- [Li and Lu] Ah-Fu!

(serious traditional music)

(men scuffling)

- I want to know where Professor Kang is.

- Over here.

You're a brave man if you think you can

walk in here on your own.

- Mr. Kang, where's Nan-Kun-Ping?

- He's gone away, I don't think you'll see him again.

(cat shrieking)

(menacing cinematic music)

- Where can we find him if we don't know

where he's gone to?

- Ah, Miss Lu, you mustn't worry so.

I promise you, I'll find Ah-Fu for ya.

Huh?

- Li-Chi, this was left by Ah-Fu.

- We must go to wan-san-rah.

(dangerous electric bass music)

- You really are a stupid man if you think

you're any match for me.

- If I wasn't so sure, do you think I'd be here?

- You better say your prayers, you're gonna die.
