teacher hon! teacher hon!

What do you want?The old master is dying.

Master. Master, you must come home.

Why?What's wrong?Your father's very sick.

It's serious. HuhWhy wasn't they told

before?Why?Your

father said not to tell you.

He didn't want to interrupt your studies.

They must come first. No matter what

happens, do you know

why, though?

I have taught you well, everything I

know. In these two years,

you've even surpassed my skill.

But why is it so important?

Years ago, your father was a royal

guard, the best that there was.

He won many royal merits, but

still,During a special contest,

he was beaten by 5 Kung Fu experts.

He was disgraced. So was our clan, the

Eight Banners clan. It

was long ago, but he's never forgotten

that day, though. And you're his only

hope to redeem the clan, retrieve

our honor.

Go back now. Remember,

we rely on you.

Brother, you're back. Father wouldn't see

us. He made us wait till he came back.

Father, I'm here now. I

have something to tell you. Father,

the teacher told me.

Take this book here.

It will help you to

understand the gold flower

fist.

Fine. Those five men!

Mother was the head of the Manchu

imperial guards. But quite

unexpectedly, he was beaten in a contest

by five Chinese kung fu experts. It was a

great disgrace.

The shame never left him.

His life was blighted by it.

Brother, we going back to get

revenge?

All of those experts are dead now. But

their descendants are famous fighters,

too. HmmI

think they wouldn't be our match.

Well, we'll soon test that one out.

We shall fight them and wipe the shame

from our father's name.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all.

Very kind. Thank you. Hmm

I find these parties very tiring.

Brother, so many presents here. You

better get to bed now.

Master, Kang Zi Min's here.

Kang Zi Min.

Strange. Coming when the party's over.

Ask him in. Yes.

We've come to pay our respects and to

offer our best wishes.

Congratulations. You're very

kind. Thank you.

We're sorry that we came so late. The

party's over. We missed all the fun.

So you did. The wine, too.

Nevertheless, we bought a present.

Bring it in.

A challenge to fight?What is this?

If you refuse the challenge, your name is

going to be mud. Are you?Sir?

Take them in. Please.

You descend from a famous name and have a

sense of honor. I respect tradition.

What's more, though?Good friends.

Nevertheless, I suspect you're not

friendly. Not only are you very polite,

hmm, you're also most

perceptive.

South eagle.

Crouching tiger fist.

Who are they?

Oh, 18 monks.

Eagle claw.

A

thousand hands.

Enough! Why?

The greatest feeling is to have a man

cross straight before you, a tribute to

your power. Well, Wong,

the reason why we stopped

and spared your son's life was to give

you faith.

Kangxi Man. Thank you.

Now it's the master's turn,

though. A fitting end to our

little show here.

HmmOld, but still fast, huhHmm

Pretty good.

Pie monk style. HuhYour

old father won all his contests

using that style. But you're wrong,

though. Much too hasty. You should

never start off with that technique. Cut!

Ah

Coffee! Ohh

To

fight well, your

hands must reach for the sky, feet

pressed firmly, and have perfect

breathing, good breath control.

You've none of these.

Kangkong, give a big name, big

reputation, famous father.

And again, Stars, you're nothing. Bear

that in mind. Hmm

We admire your fishing style, which in

the past has won so many awards for the

Chinhwa clan. So therefore,

we invite you to a special dinner on the

9th of September. Please do attend the

Manchu Siyu sect, Kang

Si Min.

To refuse, we'll give offense.

To go could possibly lead to

much trouble.

It's not a simple matter. It's only a

dinner. You ought to go there. You

mustn't give those men offense. Just

forget the past. The old feuds are all

finished. Hmm

You take Chungming along. Also, visit

the Songs, too. You can arrange a day

then. For him to bring his bride home.

They're old enough now. It's time they

got married and gave us some nice

grandchildren.

Hey, come on, I got him! Help me, come

on! I got him, come on!

Quick!

Ohh

Hey, Patty! Hey! Hey, Patty! Are you okay?

What's wrong with him?Patty, are you all

right?Hey, Patty!

Patty, are you all right?I'm okay, what's

wrong?Speak to us! Patty! You hit him too

hard. Patty, come on. Oh, what a

beautiful girl there. Go, go.

Where?Where

Ohh Hey, Master. Master. Hmm

You fooled me. Master, you

seem very happy. Your father's going to

take you to see the Soong family to fix

your wedding date. Uh-huhIs a girl

very pretty?Oh, dear. How would he

know?They have met yet. I tell

you, she will be plain oval face,

eagle's beak, and crooked lips. And

also, she'll be even fatter

than I am. Your father will have to order

a strong iron bear. Shut up!

Ohh Hey, hey, Chung Ming, don't go.

Miss. Miss. Your dad says to hurry. The

wounds have just arrived.

How's he look?He's handsome. Quite

good. How handsome.

I like him. You marry him.

I've never met him. It's crazy. I

won't marry him. I hear they're going

on from here to year one for a dinner.

Before I marry any man, I'm going to

see him. Cao Yi

lost her mother, so I brought her up.

'Fraid, she's a bit of a tomboy.

Oh, friend, our decision stands.

The fifth of next month. We'll come

for the bride. Well, that's final then.

Good. Boston, she's

gone.

Hmm My dear friend, it

seems my daughter is unwell. She's in

bed. She can't get up to see you,

and I'm most sorry. It's all right.

We have to go to year one. We'll see you

soon.

ohh Cheers.

Welcome, welcome. Have a good day. Thank

you. Cheers. Dig

in. Eat up. Good.

Now then, you're all expert kung fu men.

Mr. Liu at Shaolin. The

natural fist expert, Mr. Wan.

Leopard fist expert, Mr. Chan.

Eight style expert, Mr. Lin.

All of you are very well-known boxers.

I'm honored that you've come. I must

drink to you. Good help.

And Young Li and Zhong Ming are very

able, promising young fighters.

Cheers, cheers. Have a drink.

It's a pity the spiritual boxer, Mr.

Wang, wasn't able to come.

I've been thinking about the contest of

the old palace. those days, our clan was

on top, but you chin-wah beat us.

Like they say, you can't win all the

time. That's what makes for competition,

the fact that anyone can win.

Yeah, that's right. Tell me, of all

those men, which one was best?Hey,

no doubt, my late dad, his great leopard

style, could hardly be beat. He was a

tough old fella.

Hey,You're bragging a bit.

What about my father and his

eight-style fists?They all say he

was the best. I'm certain he could beat

anyone. Hey, now you're bragging. You've

got no idea. Uh, you two

drink too much, so just relax, huh

Well, I think.

Huh, I don't brag. My dad could have

taken on old comrades and beaten them.

That's so. But when he was beaten,

though, he went crazy. You're

insulting my father. You say I lie,

Leapington?Let's settle this one. If you

lose, you apologize. Huh

Hey, easy, easy. It's all my brother's

fault. They shouldn't have started this.

No, sit down, sit down. No! It's too

late. It's been said. Hey, if you

must fight, you don't fight here. That's

right. Yeah, that's right. Don't fight

here. Yeah, right. My brother started

this, so that makes me responsible.

If you can't make your peace, in 10 days,

I'll umpire. That's the promise. Right.

Your word on that. All right. Hey, hey,

hey, hey, now wait, wait

Now, last night, it wasn't just a dinner.

Kang Sze-min was deliberately trying to

make trouble to create

discord. I'm

sure he's got something in my--

Leopard Fist Chang, Age Style Lin,

today's fight will last half an hour.

And if there's a draw, the duel will

continue tomorrow. If anyone should be

killed, that's accepted.

But

Mr. Tank can fight pretty good, and

normally you might not beat him.

But if you went along to his house, you'd

still be extremely tired, and the two of

you could finish him.

What do you want?You must do.

Come in.

We've been waiting.

You did that?We were

careful. Look around. There's

nothing broken. I get it.

That's enough talk. You must have guessed

what we're here for.

Ohh

Your opponent may not come. He gives

up?I guess not.

My two brothers hit him too hard. He'll

never come now. Ah So

you?Right.

I set you against each other, so you'd

all die. Get it?huh

Lincoln, I won't be pulling any punches.

You watch me now. You see how

good your father was?That was

then. Now I'm better.

The sage says follow all precepts, live

in peace, observe your parents. The

first rule is patience. The

second, um, what's the second

one?Meditation. Meditation.

The third, respect age and

teachers. And then we...

You ought to be punished. You here?

Damn books, always books. What's the use?

AhThe whole world is in the books.

Beauty is in the books. Everything a man

may need. Books are the

only really good things. That's something

you must learn yet. Is

fighting in books?Is it, huhThat

is enough. You're rude. You don't know a

thing, do you, huh

You are too rude, sir. Quiet!

Ohh You can't learn this

thing books, can you?HuhCan you?

You have gone too far now. I'll tell your

dad. Hey, hey, hey, teacher, don't do

that. I I was only kidding. I didn't. I'm

not kidding. No, don't tell my dad,

please. Let me go. I didn't mean it. No,

please, don't tell him.

Let me go.

Quickly, please untie me.

I beg you. Quickly. Let me go. Quickly.

Quickly. Be careful.

Those antiques are really valuable. Oh,

come on.

Ah

Your son is hopeless. Your son is

hopeless. I've had enough.

Goodbye. Uh

All right. Fetch Chung Ming here.

Why are you staring?I wasn't.

Not much to look at.

Are you scared of being seen?

You need a lesson. You want to fight?

Then let's find a quiet place. And

when you're beaten, you won't lose

face.

Go ahead.

I'll start soon enough, and then you'll

be sorry. Well, from your stance.

I shouldn't really think. I'm in danger.

Hmm

You don't move?Well, you haven't. Why

should I?Right?Then I'll move. One

inch long, one point strong. One point

long, one dagger. Right?

Not too good. All right.

How was that,

huhAll

right. I won't kick you. You won't?

I will.

Wow. Careful now. I might need those.

You must be out of condition, you know?

You're panning a bit.

No! That hard?All

right, let's play some more.

Don't

be so reckless, or I'll get serious.

You're trying to say that you're not--

Go back home. Try and improve your skill

a bit.

And be more polite.

Waiter. Waiter. Coming,

coming.

Waiter. Coming. Waiter. Coming.

Ohh What do you want?I

called first. Some fried beef and some

fish and some wine. All right, right

What about you?The same. Oh,

right, rightSmart guy,

ehAre

you

there?

How about having a little drink?

No thanks. Don't drink in mixed company.

What?You're a girl?

You're the girl?A girl?

A girl, huhYou've just got to be sex mad.

All right, let's test you out then.

You're a man, then do this.

Come on! Come on Get her out of here.

Come on. Come on

Help me!

Come on. Help me! There it goes. Let it

go.

Help me. You

********.

Get out of here. Oh, thank you

very much. You heard?

Now go. Hey, man. Don't. Don't

Don't go. Don't let me come back.

Perhaps you'd take me home, all right?

Where do you live?Just around the corner.

Come on. Come on

yeah

*** **** it. Don't mess me around.

I'm in no mood.

You watch it.

Oh, show me a way to go

home.

Oh

Hello. Come for a girl, sir.

Oh, not so rough, please. I got real

tender skin, so take it easy.

Well, now, which one would you like, ehWe

got lots of girls here. You needn't look

so fierce, though.

You really can't act, you little *****.

What's that?Someone wants me. Who was it?

It's a policeman. He says that you've

helped a female pickpocket escape earlier

today. Hey, there he

is! Hey! Come on!

Come on Come on Come on Over here!

He went round there, went round

there, over there! HuhIt's you again. Hmm

But this

time, your makeup's quite good. Hmm

I can do much better. Oh.

We seem destined to meet. Don't you

worry. It seems you always have

people chasing you. Does it happen with

women?Why?Are you getting jealous?

Go to hell! Ow! Hey,

are

you all right?If you can. Come on.

Hmm

Seems your kung fu's quite good. Not

quite. It's very good. What's your

technique?Nature fist. What's

nature fist?It's the best technique.

It's distilled from nature, for all

natural things.

Soft, move like a

breeze. Soft

clouds, water.

Tough, like an avalanche.

Slow.

That's a trick designed to fool a

foe, mislead him.

Huh

That's a trick, too, to wait. Stay back.

Take your time. Always wait for the

moment. But when it comes, you

move, fast. Attack quickly.

Ohh

Nature Fist is based on the universe's

natural forces. Briefly, it's an

abstract thing. Well, shall I

teach you?Better teach it to your wife.

I'd rather be a monk than be married.

It's better. My father wanted me to

marry, but I ran off. And now I've had a

fight with young Liu. I won't be back.

Oh, somebody blinded young Liu.

Blinded. Who was it?

don't know his name, but he had dinner

with you. His snot bottle.

Let's go.

We want our revenge. Come on. Give us the

help. Hey, where is he?We want our

revenge. Listen,

we demand justice.

Ohh

We've never done you any harm. How could

your son be so vicious?Listen,

if Mark's son's done any wrong, I promise

you he'll pay for it. Right.

You know, was it his son?

Yes, it was Chong Ming. Huh

Well, now, what have you got to say?

But my son, though, he's not here. If you

won't hand him over, I'll burn this place

down. Yes, I'll

burn this place down! Don't try it. I

promise you that you'll regret it. Come

on, hand him over. I'm handing him over.

Huh

Tie him up. Right, get back.

Kneel down. Quick!

Kneel down. I said kneel.

Hongcheng, I'll take him. Hold it.

Listen. It's your son who challenged

Chung Ming. And he was beaten.

In fact, Chung Ming could have killed him

easily. So why would he attack him later?

Someone wants to frame Chong Ming.

Miss?You sure of this?Who was

it?Kang Ximin. The man that you had

dinner with. I actually saw him do it.

This is proof.

Brother.

We dealt with the three of them. It's

about time we dealt with Wan Chi Shang.

Don't worry. All in good time.

We let the ones fight the loose first,

and then we sweep up the pieces.

Chasse. Pastor?Tell the man. I'm

not here. Yes.

Ohh Master, sir, you're back.

He's in a bad mood. Be careful.

Hey, what's that?A letter.

My dad's?

It's a challenge now. Why don't you give

it to me?Why?Your dad. He said to hand it

back.

While outside China, I heard that Natural

Fist Wang Chi Xiang was a superb kung

fu fighter. I suggest that in three days,

if you are as good as they say, you meet

me for a contest. If you have the nerve,

that is, Manchu Si,

you sec kang simin. Dad!

Ma.

Dad, I admit I did wrong.

If you wish, go on.

Punish me.

But still, that challenge, though, you

can't refuse. But our

family have never been cowards. Dad,

don't refuse me. We must fight.

We have to.

I beg you. Give me the chance to fight

them. I'm not afraid of that bunch. Quiet!

The challenge will be met. We

will fight, and we'll win. But I'm not

ready yet, and you think you are.

Our foe is here. I have to plan.

That's for you now. One,

no secret fights.

Two,You don't leave the house.

Three, you don't invite any friends here.

Or else I'll throw you out.

Shall see. Master?

See that my orders are kept. Sir.

What?He refused to

fight. Hmm

What's he up to, huh

Spread the news around town.

Says that he's hiding himself away, just

like some lousy, frightened rabbit.

He'll fight. He'll have to.

One shot, what do you think?Gang

was only playing with me, so I don't know

how good he really is now. Listen,

could ask Chiao Ming. He might

tutor your son.

Of the old teachers, he's

the best. Chiao Ming?

He's been retired now for many years.

He's out of touch with things, but

as this involvesOur clan's

reputation, he might just help us.

If not, what'll we do?

We're too old to fight now. Chungming's

our only hope. But without a good

teacher, he wouldn't have a chance.

All right. Chao was my

good friend. I'll

write to him today.

Thank you. Umm

Are you a friend?Sort of.

Where's my dad?

Oh! Ohh In my pocket right here.

Who's the boss here?I'm the only one

in here. It must be me. You?He's now.

He's he?I came here to help

you. But still, it seems you don't

appreciate it.

Young man, don't be too hasty.

Ohh Your

breathing isn't too bad.

A young man mustn't be hot-tempered. Let

an old man teach you something now, huh

Hold it. Wait now. You mustn't fight. You

see this?This is your father's letter.

Garbage. Easy now?

Easy.

It's in your pocket. You

check it. HuhOne she sang.

Isn't he your father?HuhUh,

I already told you that he was in my

pocket, but you didn't believe me. He's

asked me to teach you. You can't fight

me. Your father wouldn't forgive you if

you were to hurt me. What can you

teach me?Uh, you're right. Quite right.

You've guts, you've strength, good kung

fu. Ah, but you've no experience, no

brains, no knowledge, and you've never

been hit. You?Hey,

hey, you can't fight me?

Can't fight?I'll go. Go?

That's not so easy.

I'm sure you dare not hit me.

Now, you just sit there, huhI'll teach

you a few things. If it weren't for that

letter, I would kill you. Ah, even

fighting must have rules. You name the

rules. I'll just fight. And if

you lose, well, what then?I'll listen

to you. I promise. You've my word.

Hey, old man, this place is a museum. We

can't fight. Not here.

Can't fight. Don't see why not.

It's a good place.

You'll be sorry. Huh, we'll see. You can

hit me. But don't break anything

here. Some of these things are very

valuable. Like this one here, this

vase. It's a chin lung piece.

Huh, you see this?This one, at

least 100 years old. That's old?

And every piece here is the same. Every

one would cost much more than you could

earn in 10 years. Hey, now

you be careful. If you broke

one piece, even your dad couldn't

pay for it. That's all?Better believe

it. Hey, hey, heyDon't take it easy.

Yeah, and do nothing stupid.

You think they'll identify to you here,

huhFight if you want, but don't break

things, huh

Oh, man.

Oh, careful.

A fighter's lung power has got to be

good. You're already panting. That

means you're weak. How can you hope to

fight?

No bad footwork, huh

ah Watch out!

Catch the bass! Catch it!

Okay, it's perfect.

You may have caught it, but you were hit

by me just then. When you fight,

You must watch everything. Feet and

fists. You watch them all, or you won't

live very long.

Always look for weak points. Your brain

must keep working all the time. Relying

on strength is useless.

Ohh

You hold it for me. Hold it.

No problem. You want me to break

something. Not so easy.

Oh, ohh

you've done it now though. You give up

these beautiful things there. One and

two and three and four. Five things.

Oh, six things. Oh, what now?I've

no idea. HmmBut

I can't pay. Huh

This is eagle's claw. The eagle is

fierce, and with strong claws, the

style imitates the eagle. He's using the

claws to catch and to hold, striking neck

bones, also strangling a foe.

This is the lock.

Locking the muscles.

Ohh The hand-to-hand lock,

deadly. Claws are to seize.

Come here. Like

seizing the artery. I'll

solve for those fatal points.

The sky picture point.

Sun point. Chicken point.

Nerve center. Belly. Groin. Breathing.

Fatal point. Middle point. Sky point.

Eyebrow.

Shoulders. Center.

Crouching. Blood seat. Bone

man. Strike out.

Grind.

Wingate, hammer, brain box, light field,

side attack.

Now the North Eagle, also seizing and

holding, mainly. It's similar to the

South Eagle, except for some particular

points.

Draw.

Press.

Circle.

Some more North Eagle tactics now. Come

on.

Bat palm strike.

The cross-clawed.

The finger point.

The flying feet.

And that's the north eagle claw. You got

that.

Kang Ximen's fighting tactics are known

only to a very few people. That's his

advantage. Some of your father's friends

who fought him may know some of them.

One of them, the horse face fists, is

extremely deadly. Feet and fists

combined well and as fast as lightning.

When he attacks, there is no fixed point.

The way he attacks is like a circle.

ah This

is horse face style?But one man can't

surround me. Just think of your body.

If one man is here, he can't hold you.

All the fist fighting strategies are

limited. They usually have a rigid

framework, and that is why the horseface

fest always wins. To

challenge Kangxi men, your

father has asked me to teach you whatever

I can here, but I don't know whether it's

enough. The eagle's

claw can be counted, I'm not sure, of the

best way to tackle Kang, but I do know

this. You handle his brother separately.

You remember one thing. Don't try

wrestling him. And use the terrain to

your advantage. Harass him.

And plague him. And then you have

a chance.

Chinese kung fu is the best there is. You

wouldn't know that. You're an ignorant

Manchu. You've got a real nerve

challenging my father. Even I have more

than a match for you. I'm arriving

tomorrow morning. I suggest you leave

China before then. Wan Chung Mi.

Ah, the great

eagle. Still, looks a bit sick.

The stance is good.

Well, now I can tell you one thing.

You'll be sorry you were born. And I

feel sorry for you. Today, you're going

to be a very dead eagle indeed.

I'll

change your eagle to a duck.

Hey there. Hello there.

Here you are, sir. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Yes,

sir. Uh, there we are.

Waiter. Gotta be a fight here. Oh, we'll

lose business. I'll pay you. Ohh Warn the

customers. Oh, sure, sure

Waiter! Waiter!

My check! Waiter!

Waiter! Waiter!

Waiter! Where is he, huhI'm

here. Your check

comes to a thousand bucks without tips.

Pay me.

You can't be a waiter. Maybe you're the

boss, but the check's too high.

for all I had. Trying to swindle

me. Didn't you know

it's the VIP room that costs more?

Pay the money, or I'll take it.

A nice idea, if you could.

All right?Here's my money.

Come and take it, if you can.

You've had your food, now the wine's on

the house.

Now, take the money now. And also... I'll

kill you! Ah

Hold it. HmmI thought you

might like to have your snuff bottleback.

So you've actually come here. I didn't

think you'd have the nerve. I've been

here for a while. Didn't you know?

You've been thinking about how you're

going to beat me?You've no hope.

You may as well be resigned at that.

That's an old one. You're back

to the foe?That won't catch me.

Horsepacker's skull!

You've not seen my horse face fish yet.

What's this?Snake ******* style. Do you

know this one?

Hmm

This is parting horse mange. Hmm

White horse stamping.

I learned your style when I was still a

young baby. Your natural

fist doesn't go to hope in hell with me.

ohh

Don't wrestle with him! Harass him!

Plague him!

Huh

You're being beaten.
