Beware of Fire, beware of robbers

Beware of Fire, beware of robbers

Beware of Fire, beware of robbers

What's wrong?

I feel someone's back there

What?

Chase

Where are you, fourth master?

Let's see

So it's you, Miss Xiu

Sorry, Brother An

Ah Xiu, what happened?

Are you alright?

Yes

Let's go then

Let's go

You think you have such charm

and eagerly ogle at Miss Xiu

I'll tell your wife when I get back

So what?

Eyes are made for looking

Sound the watch

Usually you brag of being afraid of nothing

you have been frightened by me this time

Da Niu

You scared me when we are working

I will report this to teacher

It's just a prank

why be so serious

Prank?

Help...

Its' Miss Xiu

You still thinking of Miss Xiu?

Help...

It's Miss Xiu calling for help

Help...

Go up...

Help...

There are two thieves

I've looked for you a long time

You have messed things up for me, want to die?

Catch the thief...

Take a look

Catch the thief...

He's up there

Da Niu

Let's go

Don't let them get away

Well?

Are you alright?

I am fine

4th master, you are not this bold normally

For the sake of law & order in this town

it's worthwhile to be killed

Give it to me

Master Tie

Don't let the two robbers get away

Don't let them escape

It's Tie Qiao San

Let's go

Split up and chase

Up there

Master, force them to come down

See where you can run to

Thanks for yourjoined efforts

to keep our town's peace

Now one has escaped

We have to be more careful next time

Yes, master

Who is it?

Brother Rong, you're here

Why come in from the window?

Where's Fuk Chi Lin?

He was killed by Tie Qiao San

Tie Qiao San?

Top of the Ten Guang Dong Tigers

It's him

He is now the chief of the militia

Let's find him

and avenge Huo Qi Lin

Avenge him?

Do you know what we came here for?

I tell you

Without my orders

don't show your face

Have you seen Zheng Hong?

Yes, he is the instructor at the Mo residence

He said to let him know as soon as brother Rong arrives

Right, I'll find him

For master Tie's efforts in eliminating the robbers

I extend our deepest thanks on behalf of our town

and present him with this plaque

to acknowledge his valour

Good...

"Punish the bad and eliminate evil"

Thank you... everyone

Great, Master Tie

Master Tie is really great

It is my duty to do that

You are all too

kind to me

You deserve it...

Folks, let's go back and congratulate master Tie

Right...

Teacher, please...

Brothers

Let's toast teacher?

Yes

Teacher is good

Teacher is the best

Teacher, I toast you

Fill it up again

I have to go in with Mr Lu and rest

In that case

let me take teacher's place

Right

Please

Please

Everyone... fill it up

Let's accompany teacher inside

Alright... enjoy your drink

Master Tie

Since you came here

the town has been peaceful

You're too kind, it's my duty

Please

Please

Please

Master Tie, you first

Teacher is a star now

Of course, also

The plaque says...

What does it say?

You don't study hard when studying

It says 'punish the bad and eliminate evil'

It says 'punish the bad and eliminate evil'

Hey, did you see that

Master Hin and his notorious friends

have been badly provoked by us

You are so full of yourself

I have always taught you

to be humble

Yes...

Mr Lu, you first

Thanks... Master Tie

I have consulted the elders and for new year's eve

we must have a lion dance

and a reward of a hundred taels of silver

Master Tie

Do you have confidence that we'll win?

Dad, with teacher's guidance we're sure to win

That's right, uncle

As soon as Master Tian's men see us they will

tremble with fear

besides, we won last year

Boss, don't worry

Okay, since you are so confident

let's see how you'll perform

Gua Si, jump

Da Niu, push me up

Bravo...

Bravo

We've won...

That's great

What's so great?

Nothing

Let's go

We've won...

Master

Not bad at all

You go ahead and celebrate

Mr Lu and I would not join you

Remember, stay out of trouble

Yes

We'll have a great meal tonight

I have always said

they are not our match

Right?

Right, get the meal ready

Come, men over here...

Fill it up...

You too... fill it up

Brothers, teacher taught us well today

let's toast, okay?

Okay

One, two, three

I'll get the big piece...

It's no fun watching them celebrate

Let's go

Why?

Let them eat for a while then cause them trouble

The winner eats the best meat

while the loser gets the bones

Take it

Teacher asked us to stay out of trouble

You needn't show off

Want to fight?

What? Come on

We fear you not

Stop, don't

Sorry, it's just a misunderstanding

Come on if you have guts

Bastard, you want to cause us embarrassment

Let's fix them

Let's go

I'm here

Don't fight...

Don't fight...

Teacher said not to cause trouble, stop...

You're lucky I missed you

Stop and help the instructor

Instructor, get up

How could I when you're on top of me

Don't fight, teacher would scold us

Don't fight

Don't fight

Instructor Zheng, no need to kowtow

It's my fault...

Instructor Zheng, I did say you needn't kowtow

Why hit so hard?

So close

Don't pull my pants

Damn you

Are you alright?

Yes, watch out behind you

Blood!

We're okay but he's not

Go down

Da Niu, are you alright?

Brother Rong, you're here

Stop it

Gua Si, we'll find your teacher

Tie Qiao San to settle the score

Let's go

Fourth master

What about the broken stuff?

Don't worry

put them on my bill

Thank you, everything's okay now

Are you alright?

It hurts

Let's go, come on

Master Mo

What about what we discussed last time?

It's good to open an opium house

but could people

afford to smoke opium?

It's okay, we'll do some work on it

and nobody would notice

I guarantee you'll slowly get rich

Xiao Cui

Yes, brother?

It's late. Where are you going?

It's new year's eve tonight

We want to watch the lanterns, is it okay?

Yes, so long as you steer clear

from the guys at the rice store house

Yes

Do you have a quarrel

with them?

That's a frustrating story

I am running the rice shop

And now they are running the rice storehouse

do you think

someone like me

would be willing to be led by the nose

by guys like them?

Why don't you just sell opium

instead of the rice?

That's right

It's your opportunity to get rich

You shouldn't miss it

Da Niu, fear not

I'll help you fix your arm

Does it hurt?

A bit

4th master, grab his arm

Don't move. Bear the pain

Why did you kick me?

What's all the shouting about?

Nothing...

Da Niu, what's wrong with your hand? Fighting again?

No, I drank a bit too much

and fell from the staircase

Yes...

What? It doesn't look like

Get me a wooden plank

Your hand. Put it through and don't release

Teacher, the plank

Grab his hand and don't let him move

Causing trouble at the new year

I must teach you a lesson

The tonic wine

How do you feel now?

Much better

Wang An

Teacher

It's late, why don't you go back?

I'll go now...

Rub some more tonic wine for him

Rest early, tomorrow we'll go to the temple

"Hai Tong Temple"

You know very well what you did

I'm going to have a chat with Master Yi Zheng now

Don't get up unless I call you

Your skills are mediocre and yet you dare cause trouble

We didn't

Shut up

Kneel and reflect

on what our Shaolin ancestors taught us

Master Yi Zheng

Your 'plum flower stick' skill is good

I'm impressed

You flatter me

Brother Tie

Every year you test your skill with me

but I feel your progress is

not as good as the year past

Really?

I've heard many people in your town smoke opium

Do you?

At times I only smoke with boss Lu

to be sociable

I wouldn't get hooked

I hope so. Or else

you wouldn't be able to beat an old blind guy like me

So it's you, Da Niu

Get up, you're in the way

You're a big boy now, yet you're drooling. So shameful

You fat girl, why are you teasing me

You want to die?

I like to, so what?

Fat girl, stop scolding people

Don't be so rude

Could you excuse me please?

We want to pay respects to the gods

Da Niu, please move over...

Here's our chance, go for it

What? She's Mo Tian's sister

How to do it?

What's the big deal!

When you have chatted with her

you'll be good friends in no time

This is how the poet Tang accosted his lover

It's not nice...

Then you don't have a chance

you're such a chicken and you wouldn't get a girlfriend

Really?

Yes

What should I do?

Go for her

What are you doing?

Alright I give in

Just repeat after me

Once you find a topic then you could chat

Understand?

Yes...

Lady, you're so early

Lady, you're so early

You're even earlier

Bastard

Hey...

That should do it

Are you here to pay respects to the gods?

Are you here to pay respects to the gods?

Are you nuts?

That's obvious, isn't it

Or what else do you think we're here for?

Fat girl

What, how dare you...

Miss, let's go over there to draw divination sticks

Don't bother with these two bastards

What to do now?

You get on my nerves

you're so dumb

Didn't I repeat after you?

Hey, can you go now?

What's up?

You're stepping on the lady's pants

Why did you hit him?

Don't think I wouldn't hit you

Don't come near

or I'll hit you

You dare...

So what

Fat girl

Damn you, you really hit me

I'll hit you back

Don't stand in my way

I won't hit her head

but her bottom instead

Let go

Teacher

On your knees

Ladies, please forgive them

they were only having some fun

they wouldn't hit ladies

It's just a small misunderstanding

Hope you don't mind

It's alright

We have a boat to catch, excuse us

Get up

Yes, teacher

Sorry, miss

Damn fat girl

Let's go and draw the divination sticks

Sir

Boatman

The boat is ready to sail

Hurry

Coming

Hurry

Teacher

Instructor Zheng, Liu Yin Stick

This is too much

There are fishes in the water

get some for us

You must have caused the trouble

No, teacher

Row the boat

Tie Qiao San, be careful

I'll not let you go so easy

He's quite good

Such a good fighter

I'll not let him go for anything

Row the boat back yourself

Thank you

I came especially to pay my respects

Please

I have prepared some small gifts

Yes

This is high grade opium for boss Lu

Please accept this small gift

You are too kind, I can't accept it

It's really of good quality

Very hard to come by

Yes

Master Tie wouldn't accept gold

I'll take this then

and give part of it to him

Okay, master Tie?

So Rong Feng and Mo Tian

have opened an opium house here

They are new here so

no wonder they pay respects to our teacher

I don't know how to smoke

not to mention opium

Then shut up please

They say opium could

prolong your life

That's bull shit

Mr Mo, so much business on the first day

You'll get rich soon

Let's go in and have a drink

Please

Let's go in and have a drink

Okay...

Please

Why is master in this sort of business?

Opium harms people

it'll make one weak

no wonder the foreigners call us sick men of East Asia

Get back to work

Look

What is it?

Xiao Cui

Here's our chance, go for it

After her?

Go on

Back to work? Don't bother

Please

Still have room for one more, inside please

Okay

Please...

Make yourself at home

Enjoy

Thanks

You didn't expect that I know

you have been thinking of Gua Si

It's none of your business

Da Niu is a load of fun

Really?

Don't you think so?

He may be a good opera singer

he could play the part of the Pig without make-up

Miss

Da Niu, you are out of line

If I weren't like this

could you have such good luck with the lady?

Good luck

You hit me again

Don't run

See if you dare hit me again

Da Niu in fact is a good person

he has a good heart

Then your heart must be black

I've been better these two months

You are really my money god

If we didn't sell this cheaply

we would not have so many customers

These people are hooked on opium

and you'll be rich

Xiao Cui, what are you doing?

You dare to come here and accost my sister?

You want to die?

Mr Mo, control your temper

It's not time yet to deal with the Lu family

Damn

Your brother dislikes me

I'd better leave

I might go there with the fat girl some other time

Would you be going?

At the bridge? Sure

See you

Madam An, don't cry

What's with her?

Women! Don't mind her

I'll go and have a look

He hasn't given me any money

I know he has been issued his wages

I asked him for the money and he ran off

Where is he now?

Needless to say he'd be at the opium house

Damn kid

Come, let's grab him

Right, don't worry

We'll get him

Go home first

Thank you

Let's go

Ask Wang An to come out

You promised madam An

how are you going to tell her?

I...

Fear not, I'll be your back up

Alright

Please

Sorry, sir. House is full

Would you like to sit over there please?

No need, I am here for Wang An

This way please

Brother An, someone's looking for you

What are you doing?

Can't you see I am having a drag?

I am on a high

Don't bother me

If you don't go home, your family will starve to death

What? Fourth master is here

Get up

This is outrageous

You don't work and just smoke opium here?

Get up...

Get up...

Go back, now

What's the matter?

Gua Si, you dare to cause trouble

at my shop?

Fear not, I am here

I am not causing trouble here

just asking my brother to go back

I tell you

you are not allowed to come here again

If I find out, you're fired

Get going

Come on

Hurry

You bastard

you desert your family

are you a human being?

I'll teach you a lesson

It's all my fault...

You made quite an impression today

Stop teasing me

I am still shaking

Damn, it's all your fault

Get going, go on

Hurry

Go

Where do you think you're going?

You can't get away

Zheng Hong, that's enough

Don't make me use force

Let's go to the opium house

You have guts,

but remember, I will settle today's score

with you someday

Dad

Come have some snacks

No thanks

What is it?

We don't have enough people in the rice store and shop

and I need a few extra hands

What's the matter?

Why the shortage all of a sudden?

Many staff are hooked on opium

and work very slowly

they are lethargic

They won't listen to me

They can't afford opium yet they want it

Just ask them to leave

Teacher

Wang An and the men are smoking opium

Would you give them a good scolding please

You'd better see for yourself

I don't want to say more

Right, I'll go with your dad tomorrow

Aren't they doing well?

They are efficient, you...

You blurt rubbish

No

Wang An must know teacher was coming

and hired temporary help

If you don't believe me

look at them again

If they are not that good

they needn't come tomorrow

Master Tie, let Gua Si take care of things here

let's go back and rest

Please

Hurry

Da Niu

Wang An

Did you recruit these people?

No

No? You caused teacher to scold me

You are unscrupulous

I am telling the truth

You still deny it?

4th master, I am responsible for this

They paid me and said they would help

so I let them

You damn bastard

The thief

I tell you

you'll die today

If we don't beat them

they'll beat us

Men, let's fight with them

Attack

Master Tie is here

Master Tie

You are quite popular here

Everyone's kind to me

It's more than that

last time you killed a thief

and the whole town respects you for it

The thief?

Right

Such great strength, could it be them?

Mr Lu, you go back first

I'll go to the rice store and see about Gua Si

Master Tie is great

Mercy...

Who asked you to come here?

Golden cat asked us to come here

to kill Gua Si

What?

Master Tie, mercy

You three are not allowed in this town anymore

Yes...

Go...

Teacher, small token from me

Ginger and chicken soup. You are very kind

Teacher, if you didn't come today

I would have been finished

Does it still hurt?

No, your medicine is very effective

It's okay

Teacher, you've been smoking a lot

and have not taught me much kung fu

Alright, attack me

Yes

Unless you have full confidence in kicking someone

don't kick at all...

The kick is more effective than using the hands

Teacher, I naturally can't beat you

Gua Si

Your kung fu has progressed dramatically

now you could counter my attack

I have not progressed that much

just that, you don't seem to be as powerful as you were

it must be due to the opium

I am alright

just lazy recently, it's okay

Teacher, you should quit

you set an example for the others

I know what I'm doing

It's late, go and sleep

Good night

Help me

I have nothing to eat and my kid is sick

Could you lend me some money?

Wang An, I won't trust you anymore

Fourth master, it's true

if you don't lend me money my child would die

No, you'll die for sure

If you do I'll give money to your wife

but certainly not to you

Then...

Then what?

Da Niu, let's get some food from the market

and look for madam An

Help me

Madam An, we've bought a lot of stuff

there's fish and chicken, come and cook

Where's madam An?

How would I know?

You lied and said your wife was at home

No, she is indeed inside

Then please do ask her to come and cook

Go on

Fourth master is here

Rat poison

My child...

Ah Lan...

Madam An

It's all my fault

I only care about smoking opium

Your family died because of it

You are a beast

I deserve to die

Wang An

Don't mind him. Do you think he'd really die?

Opium smokers

don't even have the courage to die

Wang An...

I'll burn the opium house and avenge Wang An

This is a serious matter

you must think thoroughly

Xiao Cui, forgive me

for going against your brother

But I must burn this opium house

Don't be so rash

discuss this with your teacher first

Alright, I'll look for him

I'll go first

"Gasoline"

Get up, you load of trash

Get up

If you don't

I'll burn you to death

What's the rush? We're burning

It's on fire

Fire...

Put out the fire, tell the boss

Hurry, put it out

Let's go

There's fire, get moving

Fire...

Fire

There's a fire, hurry and go

Move

Put out the fire

C'mon, move

You dare destroy my business

Water... put out the fire

Get me some water

Don't put it out...

Don't put it out

Why not?

I said don't put the fire out

Put out the fire...

Put out the fire...

Teacher, Xiao Cui is here to see you

What's up?

Wang An's family is dead

Gua Si is very angry

Worried he'd cause trouble I came to check it out

Did he return to talk to you?

No

Damn

He said he would burn down my brother's opium house

Burn the opium house?

Gua Si...

Are you alright?

Why did you do it?

Teacher, was I wrong to burn

down this evil place?

Tie Qiao San, your pupil dares to commit arson

You really have a way with your pupils

You...

To burn down the place is wrong

and I could compensate you

but you needn't beat him to a pulp

Money is not everything

you also asked a great instructor to back you up

and teach his pupil to commit arson

Rong Feng, I know why you are here

Since you are against me

I will fight you in any way you please

Ok, the head of the Guang Dong tigers will have a taste

of my kung fu

It's up to you now

Everyone says your Tie Sin fist is deadly

I however think it is mediocre

Da Niu, bring me the sword

Yes

Step aside

You should have armed yourself with a weapon

Or else, when I win

people might think I bullied an unarmed man

Teacher...

Kill him

Teacher, get up

Teacher, get up

Gua Si...

Son

How are you?

- Gua Si... - Son...

Tie Qiao San, I killed your pupil

Well? Come and kill me

Instructor Tie

You didn't think you'd lose

but I wouldn't kill you

You are hooked on opium

and though you live, you'll be useless

Son...

I'll rule this town from now

Xiao Cui & fat girl, go back with me

No

Me neither

I'll never spend your money again

it's dirty

Then don't ever come back

I can work. I wouldn't starve to death

You...

- Gua Si... - Son...

I put you in this predicament

Believe me

Opium will ruin you

if you could kick the habit

you'll become yourself again

Teacher, I know you are a man of your word

Please promise me

Da Niu, keep your uncle company

Okay

Xiao Cui, please take care of my teacher for me

Dad

Son

Gua Si...

Son...

Gua Si...

Brother Tie

You lost because your addiction is too deep

I know, please help me

Drink this tonic wine

hope it could help you withstand the urge to smoke

Brother Tie

Brother Tie

Our opium house is re-opened now

Inside please, upstairs

Please

Master Mo

The old saying 'a fire visits a prosperous area'

is so true

Right

Look, our business is better than before

This is all to brother Rong's credit

he even got rid of Tie Qiao San

We could do as we like from now on

You have brawn and brain

You flatter me

There's something I haven't done

What is it?

A hundred taels of silver

it could last you your whole life

I hope when I come here next time I wouldn't see you

Let's go

Keep it safe

Master, we are leaving

take care

I ruined your uncle

And I could not keep my promise to cut the opium

Teacher, you must brace yourself

or we are hopeless

Brace myself? Look at me

how could I?

Brother Tie

A hero shouldn't wallow in depression

did I regard you wrongly?

There is a chart here

just follow it and do it three to forty times a day

it could restore your strength

Teacher

I am useless...

Brother Tie, more haste, less speed

Your addiction to opium is so deep

you can't recuperate that quickly

What to do then?

You must start training all over again

Get up

Teacher can't take it anymore, it's no use

Master said it would be like this at the beginning

We have to be patient

Once I think of Gua Si's death I become impatient

If teacher could smoke he could restore his strength

then he could avenge Gua Si

Then I got an idea

You do?

Come

Da Niu, I am up here

I got it, grab it

Come down quickly

Oh

Stand still

Brother

Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?

Are you stealing my opium for Tie Qiao San?

- Give it to me... - No...

Give it to me... you bloody girl

Xiao Cui...

- Brother - Xiao Cui...

Xiao Cui...

Xiao Cui...

What's the matter, master Mo?

My sister is dead

Can't you see?

It's better for her

That would prevent me to further evil deeds

Who is this man

speaking rubbish here?

He's your caretaker

What?

Brother Tie...

Teacher

What's the matter with you?

I must smoke again, I can't make it

Teacher... opium

Teacher, I got the opium

Da Niu

Teacher

Where did you get it?

Xiao Cui hoped you to restore your strength

to avenge Gua Si

So she stole it at home

Thank Xiao Cui for me

No need

Why?

She's dead

Dead? Gua Si

Teacher, believe me

opium is really destructive

if you could quit

you could become yourself again

Opium, what an evil!

You have killed too many people

Rong Feng, I'll get rid of you, or I'm not human

Master

you must help me kick it at all costs

I can't take it

Give me the tonic wine, I can't take it

Please, give me the tonic wine

I can't take it

Teacher...

Brother Tie...

How are you?

Master

I feel cold

Get him the blanket

I feel cold

I feel cold

Feel cold?

Yes

I still feel cold

Da Niu, fan with all your might

Master Chow, drink some tea

Boss

"Rong Feng Opium house"

"Rong Feng rice store house"

Thanks to your support

I have my success today

It's a small token of my appreciation

You are too kind

Please

It's mine...

You've worked hard these few months

Take off the weights and try

Yes

You must be agile to avoid the attack of the spear

I'm coming

Master

Good, don't pull your punches

I have found a worthy opponent again

"Spiritual tablet of Gua Si and Xiao Cui"

Uncle

Uncle

Teacher will challenge Rong Feng tomorrow

Are you going?

If you don't

I'll take Gua Si and Xiao Cui

Right

"Wan Hu Temple"

Boss Yang

Ask Tie Qiao San not to come to this town again

or he'll lose face once again

Cut out that crap

You still don't know who's the winner

They're coming...

Let's go

Master Tie, we're on your side

Beat him...

Uncle

Beat him... get rid of him

Stop that noise

Tie Qiao San

Don't forget you lost once

Do you have what it takes to get rid of me?

I lost because of the opium

I must get rid of you for this town's sake

Bravo...

Rong Feng

Take your best shot

Attack together

Whoever doesn't fear death come on

Bravo

Tie Qiao San

Let's see how you plan to get rid of us

Master Tie, fear not, beat them up

we're on your side

Beat him...

Beat him... boss Rong

Since you have so many supporters

I'll give you a chance

get up and fight

Gua Si, Xiao Cui

I don't think

master Tie could avenge you

Da Niu, come here

Yes teacher?

Bravo...

Great going, master Tie

Teacher...

Bravo...
