Let's see which is faster Your Wing Chun or my bullet

Halt!

Don't harm my mentor

Good! How loyal

Come on, beg me on your knees And I can let your mentor go

My brother kneels to heaven and earth And his parents

And no one else

Oh, here comes a fool

Who are you to kill people at will?

He's a death inmate, he means to escape

I can kill whoever I like

I have evidence here

lp Man didn't kill Yim Chun-loi He's innocent

Yim Chun-loi is in Hong Kong

He watched lp Man beat the boxing champion

A reporter happened to catch him among the audience

Not only is he alive, he sees lp Man as his brother

Hence he's kept a copy of the newspaper He gave it to me

You are all fools

You think I'll care for a newspaper?

Wing-shing, Zi, don't bother with me

I'll kill whoever that gets in my way

Commander, no

Get lost

Commander, Wing-shing is Cheung Yam-tong's niece

Commander, please reconsider

Commander, leave it for later

So long as you have military control

They'll always be under your thumb

Commander

Lam Ching-shan, what nerve

Commander, killing Cheung Wing-shing is poking the hornet's nest

What nonsense

You meant to play the good guy in front of those unruly people

You know what the people are saying?

Ching-shan has the pen lp Man has the might

I should say I am the bad guy You are the good guys

Let me do the dirty jobs

My beloved woman was willing to die for lp Man

You think I can be friends with him?

I want him dead more than anyone else

But Commander, we shouldn't be rash

Ching-shan, I have seen my share of people

But I have yet to see a more scheming man than you are

I have this feeling that I will be the one ending up with an untimely death

Commander, since you find me scheming

Then you should know I am well aware that losing you, I will lose everything

I am glad to hear this

Commander, now you are mollified Please excuse me

Wait, Ching-shan, come over here

Look, I have collected some good stuff when you were away

I know you don't need money

But some are really invaluable

I am sure one or two will catch your eyes

Commander, I am doing fine myself

But you have the troops to take care of

Not to say our future

They serve a better purpose with you

It's alright, you just pick one

Commander, you own my future

Hence I should leave them with you, agree?

An intellectual is an intellectual

Since you don't care for them I won't force you

Still, my thanks

Commander, Lam Ching-shan doesn't care for money or fame

Then what is he after?

I know what he's after

Let me tell you

You are my most trusted man You know why?

Because we are fellow townsmen And fellow candidates?

Yes, we sat for the same imperial exam

You took the literary exams

And I the martial arts exams

Excellence in mine was regarded as inferior

But Qing was overthrown

And military men now run the country

Were it not for you, I would still be a fortune-teller back at our hometown

I'll always be grateful to you

How come you sound like Lam Ching-shan and Ko?

Commander

You know why I trust you?

Because you are a coward

A coward that has no ambitions

Mind you, don't you upset the boat

Here you are

You did me such a favour

I have not thanked you yet

Save it

Chun-loi gave you the newspaper?

I never thought he would keep it

He always sees you as his brother

You made it big, he's happy for you

How did you find him?

When I was in Hong Kong

I got wind that he'd gone to Malacca

But it's not a clean escape he left many traces behind

How's he doing?

Don't worry, he's gone somewhere else

Where?

I've never liked him

I'd beat him up every time I saw him

But he gave me the newspaper

I found him a man after all

He cares for his brother

Hence I gave him money to leave Malacca

I didn't ask him where he's going

And I have wiped out his traces

Hence no one can find him this time

Come on

I find myself fortunate

Because I have you guys as brothers

Since we are brothers, come fight me

No, let's have a drink

Afterwards

Come on

Afterwards

Zi did a great job

He wiped out all the traces

No one can find Chun-loi

What are you going to do?

I may be out of prison

But many innocent men are still being locked up

I have to help them

Our fight against Ng Pak-lam has just begun

Money-changing...

Wing Chun Wah...

What Wing Chun Wah? Mistaken identity

Money-changing...

Wing Chun Wah, teach me kung fu...

Money-changing...

Teach us...

Wing Chun Wah, be our mentor...

Money-changing...

Let me tell you

I am not Wing Chun Wah... I am Cashier Wah

Come on, admit it Show us some moves

Admit what?

You mean to change money? If not, go away

Master Chan, be our mentor

Teach us Wing Chun, Master Chan...

Ip Man, I came too late

What's this smell?

Lp Man, I heard that you were in prison

You must have had a hard time

Pity I can't swim, I had to take the boat

Or I would have swum here

Let me introduce...

Ip Man, it's our mentor-disciple reunion come on over

Disciple, we fought side by side and I have suffered injuries

My back hurts, give me a massage

It feels good

I have not risked my life for you in vain

I was stuck in the boat and I got seasick

I feel dizzy

lp Man, give me a massage here

It feels so good

lp Man, what did you tell me?

You said you didn't know Leung Pik

How petty

lp Man, I am easygoing

He might have taught you some lousy moves

You should come over to my side

We mentor and disciple are true to each other

lp Man, come over here

Just stay where you are

Are you coming over or not?

Hey... you...

You two cut it out

Alright, now you've become disobedient

Alright, go to him then

Good, that's what I wanted to hear from you

lp Man, let me pass you my martial artistry

As for him, he's just a passing cloud

Let him just drift by... and away

Until he's no longer seen

Let's go

Wait

lp Man, it's fine you won't come over

Let me go over then

We have been together for so long

We have had good rapport

We have to keep this Foshan legend going

You have no shame?

Please don't

Stop it

lp Man, I am back to Foshan for good

I mean to set up a martial arts school here

I mean to take a disciple

And pass Wing Chun on, what do you think

Good

What a coincidence

Man and I were talking about setting up a school before you came

As the successor of Wing Chun

I have the obligation to set up a school

You?

It can't be you

Stop it

First, Wing Chun is a profound school of kung fu

But now only three of us know it

It's pathetic already

Yet you're busy with this infighting Isn't this shameful!

If this goes on, you won't have to fight for the orthodoxy

It won't be necessary

Once we are all dead

Wing Chun too will be lost

What's there to fight for?

We are the last Wing Chun practitioners

How can we face our forerunners after death

Second, stop fighting over me

You both have taught me kung fu

You are both my mentors

There wouldn't have been me without you

Yu Fung-kau is also my mentor

Well said

lp Man, that's why I like you

You are frank and you are insightful

Well said... good

I want to set up a school

It's not to find a single successor

I mean to spread Wing Chun out

I'll teach whoever that cares to learn

No

If it's linear succession

You each will only take one disciple

You find it good enough?

Yes

Take it easy, come on

Are you getting off? Come on

Come on

Rickshaw ride

Sir, you want a ride? No, thanks

Sit tight

Ma'am, you want a ride? No, thanks

Miss Cheung...

Zi

What is it? You don't know me?

Why dress yourself like Cheung Wing-shing?

Do I look good?

Are you mute?

Come on, do I look good?

No

You've got no taste

But I just want lp Man to like it

Take me to his house

No

What?

Let me kill you

Rascal

I don't hate you at all

What am I doing?

Auntie

Jenny?

Lp Man, my beloved man is back

I have made you western cuisine

You'll eat what I cook from now on

My parents don't care for western cuisine

Says who?

They just never had a chance to try it

Let them try some new stuff

The steak is done

Try it

Jenny, a pretty girl as a cook in our house?

A mistress can cook

Let us dig in

Uncle, I have knives and forks ready

Come on... Try it

It's alright, the eclectic is good

Jenny, you should have informed me beforehand

I meant to give you a surprise

How unbecoming

Auntie, lp Man really...

I thought the wedding feast was ready when I came

What are you talking about?

What? You don't love Sis Wing-shing?

Then you should marry her

Indeed, Man, Jenny is right

You should work harder on it

Indeed, don't tell me you are shy?

Jenny, what are you doing?

How's this? Do I look like Wing-shing?

Come on

Which one of us is better Me or Sis Wing-shing?

Come on, tell me

Sis Wing-shing, I meant to go to you

I won't get in your way

It seems she's got us wrong

Go after her, come on

Wing-shing, what are you doing?

You are asking me?

She threw herself at me, I couldn't help it

She came to Foshan for you

How deep is her love

Wing-shing, there's nothing between us You know that

I... you are a fool or are you just faking it?

Yes, I understand you, but I am still mad

Let me explain

There's nothing to explain

You are unreasonable

Women are unreasonable

Alright, I was wrong, I am sorry, all right?

But there's something odd about Jenny

Then I'll give you time to get to know her

Get to the bottom of it, problem solved

What gives?

Where's Sis Wing-shing?

Gone

Take me to her, I have something to talk with her

Just tell me, it's the same

It's a woman to woman talk

Jenny, what are you up to?

Do I look good?

Yes

You are worried you can't resist me

And love me more than you love her?

Don't be so wooden

Go marry Sis Wing-shing

Where's the lady?

Gone

Gone?

She's odd

But I think she's in love with you

Right

Why is she asking you to marry Wing-shing?

Son, be honest with me

Did you two do it in Hong Kong?

What nonsense

Dad...

You can't say anything proper, can you?

We are family, you can tell us anything

Dad, Mom, don't make wild guesses

Nothing happened between us

Nothing happened?

Then what does this mean?

Halt

Miss, what is it?

I am not going to a hotel

Take me to a person

Who?

Zi

Zi who?

He too is a rickshaw puller

Oh yes, he's a cripple

Then just get off

He lives in the boat over there

He's a stray dog, I dare not go there

You go yourself

What a chicken

Miss...

You alright?

Done?

What?

Feel good lying on top of me?

You wanted me dead?

What are you doing here?

It stinks, go wash it

But it sure is nice here

I am staying here

What?

Are we friends?

Not taking me in?

I am

Then I am staying here for good

Wine and dishes

I am hungry

Zi, get me a bowl

What about you?

No wine for me

Come on, don't stand on ceremony

Come sit down

You mean to stay in Foshan for good?

Yes, I've brought everything I own with me

You went to see lp Man today?

Yes

Are you his friend?

Then why didn't you urge him to marry Wing-shing?

Do it if you see him, alright?

I have walked the whole day

My feet are sore

Give me a massage

Cut it out

You won't do as I say?

Get up first

Do it...

Alright

Now you are listening

Do as I say or else...

Come on, what about the massage

Come on, do it

Be still

It's ticklish

I am sorry

Zi, you and I have good rapport

You are a stray dog, I am a stray cat

Let me change the water

Sorry

What?

Am I pretty?

Yes

I like it when you praise me

Help me with the wash

Give me a rub

Alright

Bravo

Folks, I am Leung Pik of Wing Chun lp Man's mentor

Because of my teaching

His martial artistry jumped leaps and bounds in Hong Kong

And he beat the English champion in the ring

Now I mean to stay put in Foshan

And nurture another lp Man

He will beat the westerners and be a hero

What do you think?

Bravo

But where should we go?

Where?

Look, Leung's Wing Chun School

It's going to open very soon

Come enroll, alright?

Yes...

I will enroll Me too

I'll pick one with the most potential to be my disciple's disciple

And pass all I know to him

So please give me your support

We sure will

lp Man is here

Come on over

Help me promotion it

Give Master lp an applause

Master lp, Bravo!

What are you doing?

Folks, I am Wing Chun Wah

Sorry you've been kept waiting

Bravo, Wing Chun Wah

I know you have been looking forward to my martial arts school

I won't let you down

Chan's Wing Chun School is coming

Bravo...

I'll only take one disciple's disciple

I will pass him all I know

Bravo

No...

Please be quiet

Master lp, which one will you join?

We'll all go with you

That's right...

Disciple, come on over

Come to your mentor

Come over here

Don't you listen to him

Over here

Over here...

Mentors, rent is not cheap

Why two schools?

You each will take one disciple only

One school will be good enough

Disciple, don't worry

I sold everything before I came

I have no problems with money

Man, I have been a money-changer for so many years, I have made some money

I'll put it all in the martial arts school

To repay Foshan, what do you think?

But...

Hey, you got expelled from the school It's not for you to open it

Me expelled? You were the one expelled

I...

Don't you smear me

Master lp...

You...

You hit me?

You hit me

Enjoy

Sis, we shouldn't meet in such places again

Ng Pak-lam is getting suspicious?

Brother Ching-shan has warned me of it

Why do you still believe in Lam Ching-shan?

But...

Go ahead

I think we should enlist Brother Ching-shan's help

He's a veteran in this field

Don't call him Brother Ching-shan

Why not?

Because I say so

Then what should I call him?

Lam Ching-shan

Lam Ching-shan

But Sis, were it not for Brother Ching-shan

Had it not been for his help I would have been dead

Believe me, you can't match his cunningness

Ng Pak-lam is getting suspicious

You should leave Foshan as soon as possible

I can't, I haven't accomplished my mission

Ng Pak-lam is still a scourge to the people

He's still an obstacle in our revolutionary path

Sis, do me a favour, go to Canton for me

Go to Marshal Chu and tell him what's going on here

Marshal Chu?

He's now in the Nationalist Government

He's now on our side

How did you know?

Well...

Lam Ching-shan asked you to come to me?

Don't you put every blame on him

Tell me the truth

Yes, it's his idea

But Sis, he's helping me

And I need Canton's instructions and assistance

Promise me one thing

When I am not around

Take Lam Ching-shan's every word with a grain of salt

If it's serious, go to lp Man

Sis Promise me

Then I go to Canton for you

Faster...

Just in front, over there

What are you doing? Faster

You go over yourself

Foshan rickshaw pullers are all so unprofessional?

Sis Wing-shing

Sis Wing-shing, I am here to help you

Men are all fickle

They are surrounded by temptations

Don't you take him for granted

Go marry him as soon as possible

Thank you

Sis Wing-shing, I mean it

I know, thank you

Sis Wing-shing, don't sit on it

Dad, I am home

You are home, come sit down

Dad, get to the point

To be young is to be wild

I understand

But you shouldn't go too far

Why did you drive Wing-shing so mad that she's off to Canton?

Dad, she's there for business

Don't you get it wrong

I have talked with your mom

We think Wing-shing is the best choice as our daughter-in-law

Don't you have a roving eye and ruin it

What are you talking about?

Jenny is weird, but she is pretty

Dad

I am worried you can't control yourself

Master lp, hello

Master Chan, please come sit down

No, thanks I am here for lp Man

I have something to talk with you

Go ahead Dad, may I be excused
