Right. One.

Two. Three.

Six. Seven.

Eight. Nine. Nine.

I, Chi-san, salute you.

Chi-san, I guess I should know.

But how long have you been here now?It's

been 20 years since I came.

Everyone here would like the mings

restored. And for years,

But as the Chings ban the possession of

modern weapons, we here will

have to make them ourselves. And that's

why I want you to go to Wu Chen Temple

and work with Priest

Wu Chen there. He can teach you how

to make modern guns, also how

best, sir. Ah, that's good. Priest

Wu Chen was a general of the Mings

once. His kung fu is good.

While you're there, he may instruct you.

You should ask him. Yes, sir.

I will. Brother Qi,

normally none of the Shaolin priests are

making a special exception for you.

You're lucky. But a lot of the martial

arts people are very tricky, so you must

be very careful. Ah, Brother

Faye is quite right. But still, we have

been taught that man is good. And if he

wasn't good, Wooda would not try

to help him. Hey! You have a pass from

the airport to leave!

Oh, please come.

Take great care. Thanks.

You're a stranger, and therefore...

May I ask... Where you're going and

where you're from?I have come here from

Shaolin Temple. Going to Wu Chen

Temple to visit Priest Wu Chen. Well now,

Priest Wu Chen is an uncle of mine.

Cross those hills and the temple is

there. Thank you.

Please.

I'm sorry not to trust you, but I do

not know you. So I must be careful,

and this ledge is narrow.

Your Abbot's needs, I understand,

but the plans he wants will take us three

months to complete them. So

you will stay here as a guest of the

temple. Thank you.

Well now, anything else then?Abbot

said that your Kung Fu is extremely good.

He advised that I should try and learn

from you. Hmm

Well, if you would like that,I can

adopt you as my disciple. Ohh

Right. That all?

Sir?You take Ji Zhan inside.

Sir.

Since Shaolin priests have adopted the

role of resisting the Qingru,

Their kung fu must be very good.

Would you tell me how long you've studied

it?Since I was six years old and

now I'm 26. Ohh

You practice 20 years?

You must be extremely good then.

Well then, if you don't mind, perhaps.

You try with me,

huh

Now look that blow there it could have

killed me. It's all part of my technique.

Yeah Yeah

ohh

In a month, if you rest, you'll be all

right. I admit on

not his match, but one day...

I promise, I'm gonna meet him again.

Now look, it was your fault.

I was watching. And you tried to kill

him. He had to respond, or he'd be

dead. I never meant to hurt you. I swear

to that. Chi-Tan, that's all right.

This is my colleague, please, by me. He's

just come back. And he's heard some

You should hear it.

The court has learnt what's been

happening at Shaolin now. What their

plans are, how they mean to

rebel against the Qing.

They've declared the monks to be

traitors. And now you

are keeping a Shaolin monk here.

He has to leave here. Brother, what is

this?Shaolin has vowed to resist the

Qing rule and to restore the Mings.

This is a noble cause which you and I

should help.

As you are determined to be a rebel,

I have no choice. Today,

our ways must part. I will leave

and never come back here.

Well, the music has about, Shaolin. is

very disturbing. I'd better send a

message to Shaolin. And you ought to

stay here and practice.

Ah

All these styles have you practiced.

Which have you mastered so far?DragonPalm?

I am happy.

One thing is time.

What you've learned so far involves just

strength, but now you must work hard on

inner strength, for that is the

advanced Kung Fu.

For chopping, exhale from low down, from

the stomach. Keep it well

controlled.

Now you must control the strength from

the hand, concentrated.

Iron head requires strong neck muscle.

Breathe out deeply. Concentrate strength

ohh Wong Yan?Sir. San Ting Kong?Sir.

Yao Yin-chi?Sir. Well,

what is the latest position now about the

Shaolin Temple?You any more news?We

got two men in there as workmen. They

tell us that all the monks there

Practice martial arts, secretly. Why

don't you move in?Apparently, there's a

secret tunnel. We want to find it

before we move in.

I'm going to give you three months

to eradicate Shaolin Temple. And if you

fail, you will die. The

crack troops in Hunan, you can use them.

Yes, sir. Since I've been here, I've

You've made remarkable progress, I must

admit. But you keep on with your

practice. Once you get back to Shaolin,

it's most important, or you'll lose

your edge. Sir. Now those

plans I gave you, you guard them well.

Sir, I'll leave now. You'd better

get back.

On his way back to Shaolin, Friend Chi

San has to pass this way. I'm gonna

wait here and teach him. But Priest Chi

San is a man of honor. You know

that what happened that day was really

your fault. What's more,

if you do this, Teacher will be mad. Huh

If you're scared, then leave!

I'm A says she's a rebel, so even if he's

killed, nobody will care.

We meet again. What a small word it

is, huh

Ella, I'm going back to Shaolin. But

before you leave this place, I want

another try at you. Ella, you've got

it wrong. Martial arts should only be

used for self-defense, not for

aggression. Well, let's see you defend

yourself.

The secret cells under Shaolin.

Very useful. Your

drawings are most clear. Thank you,

sir. Our men were only able to locate all

the tunnels by going there

and actually enrolling as monks.

They say that the temple rules are

very strict, and the monks may not go

out. Yes. The only way I could

get here to see you was to get assigned

to the provision party. Mr. Li.

Sir. We can smuggle in the

so get into the temple. Sir.

Take four hundred troops. They'll mount

the attack. Once Shaolin's destroyed.

They'll all be promoted, right?

You go back to Shaolin, and get ready.

And hurry up now. Go on. Sir!

Someone's here! Coming,

coming! Now, may I ask why you've come

here at this late hour?The Emperor

ordered this to baden armor to come here.

Go inside and tell your Abbot to meet us.

In this temple, we follow Zen Buddhism.

We've no connection with him, and nor do

we wish to have either. I know that I

speak for the Abbot. You dare disobey?

Imperial orders?

Ohh We'll destroy Shaolin for this, you

rebels!

Right!

Kill him!

The chains are

coming! The chains are

coming! The chains are coming!

Guard the gates! Hurry! Quick!

You guard the gates! I'll get the

average! Hurry!this

way!

Irreverence, the chings are attacking.

Call the monks and give orders

to fight to the end. Get into

position! Come on! Go this

way!

A general. The monks are in the tunnel.

It's there. The tunnel's underneath.

Ha! Splendid! All the monks are in

the tunnel, so we'll use the explosives.

And seal them all in. No one will escape.

Come on! Let's go out and fight them!

You watch me have it!

All

right.

Where's the apple?

You must go. No, Adam, I can't leave you.

Okay. All right, follow the

place up,

Let's go.

Abbott, Abbott, Abbott. Go

on, go on. You must go. No, no,

you're killing too, Abbott.

Did you fulfill your mission?

Get the plans?I did.

There's no use now. You're wrong.

will be rebuilt. No, that's your duty.

Will you do it?Yes. No matter

what it costs me, I shall rebuild

Shaolin again. Go to the sound.

The southerners have an unbending spirit.

They're tough and strong.

Go there and collect money.

That's loyal fighting men too.

And then you rebuild Shaolin Temple

again. Yes. Kwantung

and Fukiin are mountains

and hills. That's where

Shaolin shall rise again.

Don't worry. I'll see that the job gets

done. I hope so.

I'll rebuild Shaolin, just exactly as

before. I'll do it, no matter how long it

takes.

I'm hungry. May I have a meal here

and stay here just for the night?Is that

all right?Nonsense. This is an inn,

not a temple. I'm sorry. Without

Please stay.

Landlord?The priest's expenses are all to

be charged for my account here. Yes, sir.

Priest, sit down. Thank you, sir.

Liebachan, are these reports

true, that when Sholin was

burnt,He then

somehow escaped?Master, it's

absolutely true. A relative of mine

came back from Guangdong and he saw a

monk there, begging for alms. He

wants to rebuild Shaolin Temple. Oh, is

that a fact?Well, one man

alone will never rebuild Shaolin.

It's not possible.

Roten, and why are you looking

there from the Emperor. He offered Wu

Chen a position as Taoist's chief, but Wu

Chen refused to take it though. Wu Chen

has no respect for his majesty. I tried

to persuade him, but it was no use. He

just got really mad at me, and eventually

threw me out.

In fact, with your fame and your skill,

you're more worthy than him. There's no

doubt at all. You should get that job.

I know I'm more worthy, but

no one seems to see that. The Emperor has

represented it!

I guess that you're Pai Meng. Well, sir,

it's a great honor. Master,

this man is General Yao

from the Royal Court.

General Yao. Royal Orders!You are to be

the Taoist chief of all China.

Please accept it.

Do you accept?With

much honor. The

Emperor has much pleasure to appoint the

priest Hai Mei to the chief of the

Taoists and the sect's spiritual leader.

HuhWhat's the time?It's nearly twelve.

Teacher, your drink.

he's in the South somewhere, trying to

get France to rebuild Shaolin. Good.

That young man has the will. I'm

sure that he'll make it. That's

all. Go to Med now. Yes.

Teacher! Teacher!

Teacher!

Habi! Why you done this?I

have royal orders to wipe out all treats.

Peter!

Uh Ume, get out. Go try and find Ji-san.

Ohh

Go to Quantum. Bye, Ji-san.

Ohh

Listen, take what you want, but spare our

lives.

Let's go. Listen,

leave no witnesses.

Go on. We thank you for your

help. It was fate brought me here.

My house is about three miles away, so

why don't you join us for a meal?

Thank you. Please, pleasePlease

Master, your kung fu's good. You're a

real expert. Of course he is.

Uncle. Chinlun, since you

like kung fu, I brought home a real

Shaolin martial arts expert. He's out in

the hall. You go and meet him.

Uncle, there's so many impostors all

using Shaolin's name just to get money,

aren't there?Maybe he's one. Uh,

he's nothing of the sort. Just now he

helped me when some bandits tried to rob

me. Uh, you're too naive. Probably

it's part of a trick. Huh, Fu?

Uh, yes, sir. Bring that monk out here.

We'll see if he's genuine.

If he's not, then I'll teach him a

lesson. Go on.

Chilon, you...

Master, the monk's here. Please.

Well...

Please, come in.

Well now, this is my nephew, Chilon.

fought off some bandits. That right?

Yes. It seems, then, that you

know a lot of Kung Fu. I do know a

little. Well,

a question. How should one start to learn

Kung Fu?

Ideally, with breath control.

But still,For a young impulsive man,

recommend that you start

just doing stances.

Huh Monk, sit down.

Thank you, sir, but I'm afraid I must

go. I'm busy raising funds

to rebuild Shaolin. I'll tell you what.

Now if you can sit still, I've twenty

silk shops here. You can

have half. I agree.

Let's start.

Ohh

ah

Master, please instruct me.

And all my twenty silk shots are yours.

Ah, will be enough. As we agree.

You promised me you'd get pearls. Now

don't you worry. Looks

good to me.

Hey, I hear that this monk's kung fu is

is quite terrific, is that right?Yeah,

you ever seen anything like it?It really

is incredible. My young

nephew didn't believe it. But now,

though, he follows the monk round the

whole day. He worships him. Hey, Li

Shan, you're too naive. Giving away

ten of the best silk shops in the whole

of this town just like that, that monk

may be just a confidence trickster.

You're very foolish. Ah, the man is a

Shaolin monk. So he's about suspicion.

There?

HuhHey, we should find out if this monk

is really genuine. And I have a

method to test him out. But if it turns

out that he is genuine, then you must

donate more to rebuilt Shaolin. I agree.

We all agree, huhOh, yes, yesWe all

donate more. But

you, though, don't you warn him

beforehand of this?Of course not.

Good. Then that's the deal. Right, now

then, tomorrow afternoon, come to my

place. And then we'll

find out.

one of the richest merchants in Canton,

and this is Mangchi Sana Shaolin. We are

very honored by your visit. My

mother is a devout Buddhist, and when she

heard that you were here in Canton, she

insisted that I invite you to come stay

with us here for a few days. I hope that

you can accept. I can't refuse such a

kind offer. ohh

That's good. Are we?Tell the cook to make

a vegetarian meal. Now then, shall we

go to the shrine?Yes, please.

Quick, quick, quick. Put it

down. Come on, come onSit.

Let's see him. Come on.

Miss Jim. Matt is waiting for you. Come

on, please.

Mr. Lee, sorry that I'm so late.

Well, now, you do remember our

tempt this monk. I'm sure I can do it.

There's been no one yet who can redo me.

Uh We count on you.

better get ready. No way.

In here.

You must be tired. It's

me, bud! Who's

that?

stomach cramps. The only cure is

depressant against a man's stomach.

Only that can help. Monk,

please help me. Please help

me. There can be no such

illness.

Ohh You should not be in here. Please

go. It

If you're a monk, you should have pity.

How can you just stand there?Ohh It

hurts.

You must leave, or I will.

Wait!

Please take these things as a small gift.

Well, he's proved to us that he can't be

tempted by beauty. But still, it seems

he is greedy. He's taken that girl's

bag of jewelry. And it

seems he means to keep it.

So then, appears that our monk

so what?Mats are only humans,

few weak points. And

what's more, if you and I had been

tested, ohh well, when it comes to the

girl, I think with a fair...

It's the monk.

See?Morning.

I picked this up last night. It's some

jewelry. I would guess that some

lady must have dropped it when she was

Well, I do admire you for your great

honesty. But still,

I doubt that this bag was just

lying around. Now would you deny

that?I guess I deserve that.

But the matter is rather delicate.

I prefer to say no more. I bought it

back here. Let that be enough.

I will go now.

Now wait! Please stay!

You're a man of honor. No doubt of that.

To rebuild Shaolin, I'm now prepared to

contribute a large sum. Well

now, you lot?

Well, I own two mountains in Fuki and

Bravitz, and there's some very good

building sites there. You can have either

one of them. And my profits for this

last year have been quite good. I shall

give you half. I'll give you three

hundred acres of land. It should be worth

quite a lot. What a bless you.

I thank you all.

Make way! Out of the way!

Make way there!

Tell your boss to come out.

Now, priest, what is all this?Collecting

arms, that's what.

All right. Now, one, give him twenty

cents. What do you think I am?Twenty

cents?I'm not a beggar. Ohh Well,

tell me, how much do you want?I hear

there's a Shaolin monk here. You gave him

a lot, twenty thousand, so they say. Is

that right?Well,

you fill this arm with silver pieces and

give it me!

No way! No way!

Well, all right, go get the silver. You

here?And I'm going to

stay right here until you give me what I

want.

Make way there, make way there, please.

That's him there, that's him. Can

you tell me your name?I'm a monk

collecting alms.

It looks to me like blackmail.

So it's blackmail. So what?

Reece Wu Champ, do you know him?Never

heard of him. Who's he?

You know, pay me. Got it.

Thank you, Ma.

Come right away to the old temple.

Wu Mei?Monk Chisan. Well

now, you just got here?That

fight just now, I was watching. That

blackmailing priest is Li Pa Shan.

He's Pai Mei's student. Pai's become a

traitor. Join the Chings. Once

more, he killed my teacher. Teacher Wu

has been killed?I'll

stay here a while. Anytime you need

me, just tell me.

How's it going, collecting money?

Not too bad. In fact, quite well.

The money I have is enough. On

top of that, I have a site.

But still, before I head off to Fuquier,

to start to build, I have to find

a few good men.

All right! Let me!

Ohh

So

where's the monkey fan?He went south, but

I'm not sure where. Let's go.

Hey, Mr. Lin, your cleavers ready?

Oh, that's good, Mr. Tung. You do a good

job, don't you?Thanks a lot.

Mr. Lin, that'll cost you thirty cents.

Oh, thirty cents?Oh, ohh yes.

Come on. Sorry.

These last few days, business is bad.

Pay you soon. I'm sorry, no. I've got a

job, so pay me now. I can. I can pay you

tomorrow. Hey.

I'll give you a nice slice of pork.

Right. Give it here.

Hey, no wait. That pork is worth 70

cents. I owe you 30 cents, so give me 40

cents. That's fair. That fat pork isn't

worth 10 cents. Take it back. Give

me my 30 cents. Hey, you

see that?The shop ruled. We don't take

meat back. My change! Damn

it! Pay me!

You owe me! Well now,

you've ripped my jacket. Cost me a lot of

money. Pay me one dollar compensation.

Come on! Damn it!Yeah!

Ha!

Ha! Why?

Ha! Ha!

Hey, doesn't taste so bad, huh

Hey, you watch that!

Damn you, this isn't a boxing ring!

God damn you, I'll get you!

HuhAll of

you fight well. But is it worth fighting

though, over a trifle?Don't you

interfere, monk. Just go away. Or you

might just get hurt by mistake. Huh

All right. Damn you. Get him!

Hey, Butcher! Why do you do that?You

hit me! HuhIt wasn't

me! It was that monk there!

Have a look.

Cut you off!

Right. Ha!

You're obedient. I think I'll take you as

my pupil. All right. I'll teach you a

lesson, monk. Come on! Get it! Right!

Ha!

huh

Teacher! Teacher, I looked for

you. Who have you been fighting?

A white-head monk. He hit me with a fly

switch. Greased by me.

So he's a long term. He's a tough

fighter. Right. Let's go back.

Let's ask him. Sure. Teacher! Teacher!

Teacher!

Teacher!

The Lord Magistrate is here!

We greet you, sir. Please sit down.

You asked to see us all. So what is it?

Ohh You may all be

well-known businessmen here. All wealthy

and respected. Even so,

such respectability

cannot protect rebels. Lord,

what do you mean?Well, I

hear there's a Shaolin monk. In your

house, is that right?Well, we often

do that. We let most live there. Nothing

new. Is it also true you gave half

your assets to this Shaolin monk?Just

charity. Nothing strange. Well

now, if you'll just hand over that monk

to the courts, you'll be well

rewarded. What you say?

Can't do that. Sorry.

Mr. Lee. Huh

You've helped a rebel. You have to

die.

Huh

You have three days to hand over that

muck. Or else,

you'll all die just like he did.

Open up, please! Open up, please!

Mr. what?What is it?Jesus, hun. Your

uncle has just been killed by the Ching

officials, and the troops are coming here

right now.

You go with Mr. Watt. Yeah. All right.

Hurry.

Get him!

Let's go.

No, I don't see why. Come on, nice pots.

Hey, mister, wanna buy a pot?Nice pots,

take it over. Come on, come here, comeon.

What is it?Something wrong?Ching's raided

these places and the monk's gone. Where

could he be?HuhI wanted to try

him out and test his skill.

Chao-chi, come here. Coming.

You go around, see if you can get some

information. We'll wait for you at the

inn. Go on. Right. And

you two go on to the inn first. Meet you

there later. Right, let's go.

I'm very sorry. I'm closing. I must go.

Sorry. Xiaoqi! Hurry!

He's coming! Come on. Huh

Come onWell?Hey.

You got any news?Qinglun's uncle was

killed, and there's no trace of the monk.

Qinglun is our friend. We just have to

help him. And the monk

is wanted, too. We must help him. He's

our teacher. Hey, you claim he's so good,

but I don't know. I wanna have a match.

Hey, he's only a damn monk. So with me,

you'll have no chance. Hey, now look, I

warn you. If you wanna fight with him,

you must be prepared to suffer.

I'm not scared.

Right, we'd better split up now.

We'll meet when there's some news.

Hey, heyHey, now wait!

Am I supposed to pay?I got no money!

Haha! Your problem!

Now listen, when you find a good place to

hide, you let me know. Sure, you

go back now. See

you. Gisanne, so I found you. You killed

my teacher! Murderer!

In martial arts, purges happen.

It's the way that things are. Nothing

will change that. Right.

Today, I'll conduct a purge.

yeah

Let's go.

This belongs to my friend, Hong Si Kwan.

He

runs a shop selling parts. He's loyal.

You'll be safe. Take her in sight to lie

down. Once

she's taken these herbs, she'll soon feel

better.

Is your friend a fighter then?

Sure. Been studying for three years now.

He likes life skill. A

man with that skill could be useful.

I can use men like that to help rebuild

Shaolin. Still, he's conceited.

won't be so easy to convince him. Right.

When he returns, I shall test him out.

Well, seeing is believing.

You must be the monk Chisha. I am?

He's my good friend. They tell me that

your kung-fu's good. An expert at light

skill. I'm just a fighter. Nothing

special about me. I simply kick and

punch. Nothing elegant.

That's good. We've much in common. Well,

let's have a match then. We can fight for

one round on those poles. Whichever one

is knocked off first, he has to kneel

down before the other one and kowtow

three times. That's a deal. Let's start,

please. Wait.

I'm not used to the fixed posts.

Strange to me. So if you wouldn't

mind, I'll choose my own. Is that all

right?Up to you.

Let's begin.

Come on.

Ah

Pretty good.

You all

right?You're quite good with

fixed posts. But on the pots,

you need practice.

Teacher, never in my whole life

have I bowed to anybody.

But now, but now, I... Hey,

get up, get up. Teacher, let me be your

pupil. Follow you.

Hung Si Kuan. It seems that we're

brothers. Hey, from now on, we're all one

family.

Teacher, just now we saw a llama drinking

with some Qing officers, and they seem to

be very good friends. They say the

llama's from the capital, been sent to

kill you. Hi. Jilan,

you better hide here, and we'll go check

this llama. try to find out just how good

he might be. Let's go.

Ohh Come in, come in. What's wrong?Where,

huhOver here. Here we are.

Have a seat. Hey, why?

You know, I think his kung fu will be

good. All that scares me is that goddamn

stick. All right, I'll fix that.

Hey, you wait. Ooh

Hello?Who knows if you don't believe a

high curtain kick in our hands.

What

are

you saying to him?Uh, I was speaking

Tibetan to him. You wouldn't understand.

How could you?Hey!

But he doesn't seem to

understand you either though. Don't be

dumb! Of course he does! Hey!

Let's

get him!

Two kicks, three stop.

Chinwockets! Huh

Damn you. What are you doing?

Cannon! Leopard!

Well, Llama?Yes?Have you any idea just

who those thugs were?They're

unorthodox, but they're good. Various

styles and techniques. Very

strange. I think

we'll find their pupils of that Gee, sir.

Captain?Sir.

Dr. Rose, check everyone and every

house. How about that damn monk hound?

Yes, yes

Quick, come in.

We have all that we need.

Shaolin can be rebuilt within three

months. So we go to Fukien right away.

Still, Jaime's ordered martial law.

Now even a fly couldn't get through.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

We have to try to break out.

Tomorrow, really early.

Master.

Hold it.

Open it up.

Hey, let's go!

Teacher, all sea and land routes are

being watched. You better keep hidden.

I think you better wait by that jetty

until we get a boat. Then we'll come for

you. Right, let's

go.

Ah

There's no boats. What now?

Check up the post.

It's that priest. That's good.

Six of us. We can handle him. How dare?

Capture them. Tap! He

knows futilism. Be careful.

Ah

ohh

I've studied fugilism for years now. So

my nerve points are all sealed. Gee son,

remember, it isn't possible for a man to

seal all the nerve points in his whole

body. No matter how it's done,

there has to be one weak point.

Hey! Come over here! Teacher!

There's a boat, you see?

Hey! This way! Over here! This

way!
