Original subtitles

In 1937, war broke

out between China and Japan. The

Japanese imperialists carried out

ruthless aggression on Chinese soil.

Thousands of Chinese compatriots were

savagely murdered. Many preferred

resistance and death to slavery.

This is a story of some of those who

resisted. Although characters and

names have been changed, it is based on

historical fact.

Brother Tank.

Brother Tank, let's start now. All right.

Hey, let's begin now.

Hey.

She's here. Let's go quickly. You just

watch me. Ohh

Get back!

General, what can I do for you?Hey!

His show is illegal! Tell him that!

Yes, yesWell...

This performance is forbidden. What are

you doing here?

Move in and take it away. Yes, sir.

She's her.

Huh

Move it, hold it. Come on, come on, move

it. Come on. Hurry up, come on, call

you. Come on, you, hold it.

Come on, hold it. That's it. Come on.

Come on

Come here. What

do you got?

Oh?

Ohh

my money! I want my money!

Come on.

Oh, cutie. Come here, pretty face. Huh

Come on. Come onCome on

Come

on,

hurry up. Come on. Keep

going. Come on.

The Japs have gone too far. Seems that

we must fight back. Just by performing

patriotic plays, we'll never defeat the

Japanese. So what's the use?That's the

trouble. Can't we fight them somehow?

Truth is, I myself,

I'm worried about my family. But now,

the way things are going, I have to leave

home and fight. Those in the

resistance have to leave and sacrifice

all. They're fighting for the nation. For

me, I'll do the same.

I see. Sure you could stand being away

from your family if you go to fight?

What's up?You're crying. Maybe.

I'll miss my family. However, it's the

fight that comes now. Hmm

Chizu, as long as you really want to go,

you'll go, but no more crying. Oh.

Come on now. We'll have to find a place

to stay. Come on.

Old man. What's the

matter?You look bad.

Long time. I've been sick. Can't cure it.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

What's the matter?Nothing.

Just coughing. These men here-- Well,

we were just passing by, and we saw him.

These two men were very kind. Stop by

here to help me out. Thank you so much.

Grandpa, I'll take you on back. Don't

bother. It's too much trouble.

Feng child, go and deliver the laundry.

Ohh Thank you kindly.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Get him up in here. I'll take him back.

Just tell me, where's he live?North

Garden. Where's that?We live there

together. Why don't I go back with you?

Right.

Cheetah. Cheetah.

Jim Fong. Where'd you get the rickshaw?

Hey, found a house yet?Where are the

others?Looked all over this here town.

No empty houses. But I found a swell

cab on. Looks like we can stay there. The

other two men both went to wait there. I

want you to come and take a look at it.

All right. First, though, this old man's

sick. I think I'll take him back home

now. Then go find them. Let's go.

You're looking for a place to stay?Yeah.

For how long?A few days. Uh, we just want

to rest a bit. Uh, about a week. Uh, yes.

Let me see. When I get back, I'll ask my

family, because we've got a room might

light to you. Right. We'll pay your rent.

But the room is quite small. Umm

Only enough for one or two men. Hmm

Do you know?All

right. You and Sheetzer, stay with them.

We'll stay there in the cow barn. That

way we'll be less conspicuous.

Right. That'll be right.

That's good. Very good. Thank you,

Mr. Zhang. General, it's useful.

Chinese call this sword secret sword.

Oh. Secret,

huhHmmMr. Zhang.

Tongzhou has become very important to us

now. We must stay in control.

According to our latest survey, there are

a lot of suspicious persons hidingaround.

Therefore... I think I'll establish a

local cooperation society for

maintaining order. This way we can

prevent any rebellion. Tongzhou is

going to have to provide taxes for the

support of the Imperial Army. Sure,

sureTongzhou seems like a small

town, but it's really quite wealthy.

Just say what you want. The provisions

will be supplied. There's no problem.

HuhLast week you told

me that you'd ask the local landlords for

contributions to our cause.

Have they been received yet?

Well, uh,

nothing seems to stubborn people, money

grubbers, the stupid bastards won't pay.

I I just can't-- I just can't seem to

make them pay. General,

if we had some way to threaten people,

Just supply me with some weapons. Then

they would pay their contributions.

When I gave you this job, I thought you'd

do it better. How can I have confidence

in you?Umm Mr. Zhang?

I can't give you weapons, for I don't

trust you. Know

what?I'll provide two guards to assist

you. These two men both are capable

karate fighters. They're fast and both

very strong. But they'll

give you all your orders,

understand?Yeah, yeah

To get things under control, we must

first take a census. Suppress the locals.

Should anyone offer any resistance or act

suspicious, capture them. All

will be killed. You

mean, you mean... What I say?

Yeah, yeahHmm

Call the captain and the sergeant. Send

them in.

Captain, the general wants to see you.

Yes.

Oh, well, let me introduce you now. This

here is Mr. Zhang of Tongzhou, a

good friend of mine.

This is Captain Chetian.

And this is Sergeant Shenbun.

Hello. HelloBoth of them speak

Chinese quite well. Oh.

I'm sending both of you. To

Tungzhou to set up a cooperation society.

Suffer! Mr.

Zhang, when this society is ready,

it's you who'll have to run things. Thank

you, I'll remember.

HmmBefore you do anything, you must check

with Shi Tian to find out just what you

may do. Then you may act. Yeah,

yeah, sure, sure

Before we leave, how many men should we

get?huh better just you

two huh just

leave the rest of it to me now well now

when you arrive let me know

this time when you go there better leave

your uniforms behind act as though you're

Chinese there try to look like native

residents and find out what's going on

understand sir

Oh, you go and get ready?Leave with Mr.

Zhang, he'll go with you. Sir!

Aligato. Oh, just a

minute. Sir?

Take this thing, it might be useful.

Come on.

Huh

Hey, hey

Not bad at all.

Good, good

Very good. You really use your fist very

well.

Ah, really?We must compliment you on your

great skill. The way you split that

plank with only a single blow. You

are far better than an entire army. Huh

You'll be very useful in this town when

our cooperation society gets underway.

You'll be very useful.

But we better bring the guns here. We may

need them too. HmmWho wants

guns?When you've got

my fists. Right, right

Captain. This evening, we'll entertain

you with a special sort of

diversion, you knowYeah, come

on.

That's it, right.

OhhCome on. How

come you're not

drinking?

Hey, when's the other girl coming?Just

crave her a phone call. She should be

coming now. Oh,

Captain, to your health.

Hey, can't you go here faster?Faster?Get

a horse. Huh That's

some kind of suggestion. Hey,

hey What

are you trying to do?Better not

complain. Just what's the idea, you?

You're not careful. I'm going to tell the

Japanese on you. Then we'll see who

complains. Hey, hey, hey

You watching you?Hey, hey, hey

You be careful. You're crazy, you're

crazy.

You're going to tell me. You better let

me down. Hey, hey, stop, stop

Hey. We're here. Let me down.

what's the idea?

Ohh Is that a way to

treat a girl?Oh, you stupid bastard

Shut up, you bitchBetter wipe your ass

clean.

My makeup, my makeup, my makeup!

My makeup, you fool you!

I want it. I want it. I want it.

Dang brother. Dang brother.

Did you bring a candy today?

Oh, I forgot to.

Take this and you can buy some.

Here, put down the bucket. Right.

Ah

Goddamn it. These here Japanese. Steal

from the people. Kill our families. How

come they don't even kill us like men?

HmmAll you men do is cry. Is

that supposed to drive the Japs away?

Women and housewives don't understand.

Uh, uh, Chopping Lee. Uh, Chopping

Lee, I'll tell you. The Japanese devils

aren't so strong! If they mess around

with me, I'll beat 'em good! Watch this!

Huh Bam! Bam! Eh, eh,

eh, eh, eh, eh Thank you. Shizu. What

are you doing?Killing gaps.

Just showing your strength, what good

will it do?Whatever the price, better bow

our heads. Hmph. So cowardly.

Just supposing they tried to steal your

wife, would you run away?Huh Somehusband.

Grandpa. How are

you?You look tired now.

Here's to days. You keep it.

I'm very grateful to you. It's so good of

you caring for me the way you do.

However, you and your men will need this

money. The rickshaw is

yours. Don't worry about it. But

anyway, you'd better rest.

Time to eat.

You rest now.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Don't

thank me.

Hey.

What is it, huhWho gave you money?

What's the matter now?They won't eat

'cause they bought candy.

Sister, I gave them money. Oh, Mommy. Oh,

God. You shouldn't go on something,

yeah?HuhDoesn't matter.

And you work so hard for them, huhCome

on, let's go.

Hey, I gotta tell you what happened to

me. HuhWhat is it?This evening,

when I was out working,There was this

prostitute. She wanted to see the

Japanese. She thinks the Japanese will do

anything for her. Well, she gets in the

seat and starts complaining. So I got

angry. What happened?Huh

That bitchWe got there at last. I just

shoved her out into a puddle. She

screamed. I could see she was mad. That

was a good thing. And then?

What happened then?I then dropped her and

left. Then didn't get paid. A

trader's money. She can keep it. Oh,

that's the right attitude. Careless.

You are too careless. Can't you see that

you might get into trouble?What's the

matter?What is there she could do?That

stupid, stinking bitchPerhaps that's so.

You may be right. But then the

Japanese are very strong in these parts.

So I seriously fail to see just what it

is you have achieved. HuhHuh

So, whatever the price, it's better to

bow our heads,

uh, uhShufen, come on in. Aye, I

shouldn't talk that way. It makes me get

angry.

Tang, brother, I'm saying this just for

your sake. You, the Japanese, are in

control. You should avoid trouble now.

Hey, Mr. Meng, since you've learned to

cartel, how come the school has reduced

you to a simple clock then, huhYeah?

These days, teachers must know Japanese.

It might have been worse. I was treated

well. Other men have been

fired from the school.

So whatever the price, it is better to

bow our heads. Brother,

sister wants you. Better go

then, Mr. Meng, or else Mrs. Meng is

going to fire you. Then you'll be in real

trouble.

Oh, no! Cake is burning! What?

Ruined! Why'd you waste time?The cakes

get burned!

Chopping Lee, you should be all careful.

You ruin those cakes once more, your wife

will kick your eye for good!

Tongbecker, my brother said to give some

soup to you. Please have a bowl.

HmmThank you. Thank you.

Hey, eat it, huh

Next time, if you fellows don't send a

car to come and get me, I wouldn't

dare to come again. HuhWhy not?

Why not?Hmm When I came just

now, I took a rickshaw, told him to go

faster. Huh That bastard

said to me, Get a horse. Oh.

I suppose it can't be helped though.

Captain, when he heard you were waiting

for me, he went and dumped me outside the

door. Oh, so that was

it. Hmm, it's true.

It's quite natural. This cooperation

society doesn't even have one rifle.

So who's afraid of you?

Impossible. HmmThat smart

assWhen he saw the sign on this place, he

got angry. He went and dumped me on my ass

Then he ran away. Oh.

You know that richer driver?I don't

know him. Chairman, you should

really be more careful, you know that?If

he's a member of the revolutionary.

Revolutionary?HmmUh, it's

improbable. Hmm

Mr. Jiang. Yes?You check this out.

Captain, just relax. I'll arrange to have

my men take care of it.

Come on, let's go and play. Hey, Mommy,

we're going to go and play now. Bye. Bye.

Come on, then. Hey.

Hi, how are you?I must have some money

here. That's great. What's better?

Here's some money. It's for your lunch.

Okay. Come on, let's

go. Okay. Bye. Goodbye. Oh, Mr.

Meng. Oh, Uncle, feeling bitter now. Oh,

very good. Thank you. Hey, get

going. You'll be late. They're

going to fire you. Then how will we eat?

Well, can't you see how I'm going?See you

later, Uncle.

What's

that?Out of the way.

Listen, man, you mustn't be so rowdy.

Don't act dumb. They're at Shaw, you paid

or not?Can't you wait for a few days more?

This week I've been ill. You ain't

dead, so you gotta pay 'em. Here, come

here. Stop,

stop, stop

You bastard hiding it. Ohh

Why did you strike him?What's that?Don't

get lost. Better pay.

Pay now or else get your face crushed.

Here, Mr. Magmutts, for your dinner.

Good enough. But you're still short.

Three dollars. Give it.

Give it.

Give it. Quickly! Sister, do you have

money?No, I haven't! Money! Hurry!

I have no money. We're all so poor

here. An old man like me, would I

lie to you?Good friends.

You and I are neighbors here.

Enough of that shitYou tell me.

Yesterday, weren't you working?But I just

told you. These days I've been sick.

If I'd worked, would I try to hide the

money?

Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Hey.

HeyNow you...

You bastardWe'll get you.

Don't go. I'm not scared, so I don't

think I'm going to run. I'll be here,

I'll tell you. Yesterday, the driver who

dumped your whore was me. HuhYou

just wait. Let's go.

How is he?Here?She's--

go get a duck. Here. HereHere

Here

Here's the money that we kept in the

house. Guess it's too late.

She said, go on.

So whatever the price, it is better to

bow our heads. Ming, my friend,

restraint may be a virtue, but we can't

submit to such violence. This is

rubbish. HuhCaptain and Jiang went

off into the city. Sergeant, what do we

do now?A

rickshaw driver. And you're afraid.

You Chinese men! You're already

weaklings! Just a bunch of cowards!

Come with me!

Don't worry, it's a light wound. Have him

rest for a while.

Thank you, Doctor. Will you show him on,

please?Right. This way.

Ching Fong.

Lang Cai, what is it?Ching Fong. We've

got some of the actor's guide for us.

He's at the store waiting. Oh,

lines. I know them well. No problem.

Hey. Tanga!

Tangaga! Tangaga!

What is it?Hondaga. Wongerhoopo, the

Japanese, broke in the house and smashed

it up. Ching-hong, why don't we

I'll go myself.

Ah

All right. Let him go in and see his

wife. Yeah.

Yeah Oh, no. Jinsu! Jinsu! Jinsu!

She's there.

Thunder God, you mustn't leave.

Cho Fong, don't worry. I will

You tell me that damned

revolutionary name of Tang. Just where

the hell is he hiding?I just don't

know. We really don't know. Really.

You really don't know?No, I

don't know. No. Hair. Bring

some rope and let's hang up these kids

here. Oh, no. No, no, no, you can't. No,

please. PleaseNo, you can't. Let them go.

Let the babies go. They know nothing.

Please. No. Right. They don't

You tell me that guy Tang.

Just where is he?I don't know.

I

don't

knowNo,

no, no

Huh

Hey, hey

Hi, Mr. Tyler.

Who are you?

These men are wanted.

I ask you, look closely. If they are

within this area, arrest and bring them

here.

General, maybe you could tell us when our

weapons and ammo--

Just capture these outlaws first.

In three or four days, I'll have the

guns sent to you.

General

Syonala.

Huh Hey.

We've got to get out of this mess

somehow. You mustn't be angry. We should

stick with Tang, no matter what. Anyhow,

we have really got to pay the Japanese

back for this. Problem is how?You think

it's that symbol?The Japanese won't let

us get away with it. Yeah.

We gotta find a place to hide now. Hey,

what happened to that guy of ours?He's

not come back yet, hey?When he returns,

we must escape. EhI

know. I know a place to hide. It's very

secret. Probably the Tang and hide him

there?All right. We'll do

that. Yeah, let's go. Come on. Come.

These here people just won't cooperate.

They're trying to overthrow us now.

They're just revolutionaries.

Seems it's just these few men, Chairman

Tang. Captain,

it's this bastardLead it!

Chairman Jen?HuhSecurity here is no good.

Uh-- The rebels will have to go. Uh--

Jen, sir. Sir?Do you know

this man?Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Lives near

here, just over in North Garden. Right.

Come.

He's not here. He's

not here. He's not here. Not here.

Chairman Tang. HuhNo, sir. If you can't

get hold of this guy Tang, then, as

chairman, you're really finished. Yes.

Listen. You men had better find them, or

else they're all done for. Go. Put up

notices. Sir! Yes?

Hong Jingtong, another fugitive

revolutionist, wanted for disturbing

public order, eluding arrest,

revolutionary conspiracy. Those with

information as to their whereabouts must

report to the authorities, reward 10

ounces of gold.

I look into this.

Tug the girl, what are you up for?You are

to rest now. These few days, you've been

good to me. Every day you've cared for

me. You shouldn't mention it.

She's and the others are going to find

the guide. I think in two days,

we can get going. But I can't rest now.

I'm just a burden to you.

Ponder girl.

You shouldn't think only about others.

You really should. Think about yourself.

I'm all alone. I've no family. So what's

the difference?

I feel we should take care of you.

Givon! Givon! It's terrible. Sign's

posted all over. They want to catch us.

Huh

Oh, we met the man who'll guide us.

Before dawn tomorrow, we can begin. But

now, since we're bringing more people, he

wants 10 more dollars. Then he will take

us. And he says he wants that now. So

he's at his house there, waiting for the

money.

Father, this is all you have to remember

your mother by. This-- There's not enough

time. But now, if they're searching

for us, you'd better not go out.

Why not send me then?No, you should let

me. You don't know.

We'll go together.

Okay, but you watch carefully. Don't lose

your way. I know.

Tong Ye.

Tong Ye. You've given us so much. How

will you get up?We're compatriots, so

don't thank me.

In here.

Who's that?

Come in.

What happened?

There.

This ain't enough.

Count him there. There

That isn't real money. Huh

It's priceless! Something like this is

worth a lot. You ought to know.

All right. Anyway, we're friends.

Actually, I'm not trying to cheat you.

Just that I need this to bribes and

watchmen. Well, we're

grateful. Tomorrow morning, where shall

we meet you?Wrong me late.

5 a.m. And don't be late. We'll

be there. Hey,

hey, it's those people from North Garden.

Quickly.

Yeah

Is everything you're telling me the truth?

Sure it is. It's tomorrow morning, very

early 5:00. That's one we make we made.

Soldier something.

Yes. You

know just what I do. Yes.

Let go. Please, pleaseCome over

there. Get over there. You?

oh

Captain, this little bitch here lives

together with that guy Tang. Bring

her into the captain's room. Yes, sir.

I'll get you a phone at five o'clock if

I'm not there. Don't wait for me.

We can't do that! Tong Yin.

Listen to me. Do as I say.

Chairman Jack, she's not bad.

Huh

You fool! Oh, my

God!

Come on!

Stay there! If you move, I'll wipe

her.

Oh, don't
