Hello. I thought I'd never find you. Here

you are. I'm coming to have a ride.

I feel sure you'll enjoy it.

I might if I don't pull off. Don't worry,

the ground's off. And after the ride is

through, I could show you around the

city. No, but I couldn't impose.

There's so much to see. This place is so

big, without a guide with you, you could

easily get lost here. If you've an idea

of what you want to see, you just tell

me, and then I'll show you, huhI

sure would like to see some temples. Oh,

I'll take you then. You're not scared.

No. This elephant likes me. You hold

on, okay?If I slip, you'll

get me, won't you?We'd best get

started. I'll take you to sleep.

Thailand's spoke there.

Let's go this way. Shall we start?

Are you a Buddhist, then?Mm.

My folks were Buddhists, too. Are

they with you now?No. They've

been dead a long time.

Now then, we've seen temples. Is that all

you'd like to see then?No. I would

like to see Thai boxing. Is that okay?

You like Thai boxing?Mm-hmmI'm

afraid it's pretty brutal. You won't be

scared. Mm-mm. All right.

I'll introduce you to a Thai boxer then.

You really know one?Yes. He's a good

friend of mine.

This guy is Shi Tai Shan. He'll be

fighting shortly. Hello. Hello

Tai Shan, this is Mr. Chow. He's from the

old country. He's come to watch your

boxing. Hello there.

Look, they're coming again. Who's that

one?Must be their leader.

So...

You'd better get a seat by the ringside

now. I've got to settle something.

Ah,

seems like your girlfriend has come to

encourage you then. How do you

feel?Has she inspired you with enough

confidence to win the fight then?HuhLet's

wait until the fight's over and then

we'll know.

I just thought I'd bring you a little

present. What's it for?

This is the big one, lots of bets on. The

money's all on you. Could be we'd lose a

packet if you were to win today. How's

that affect my fighting?That is very

easy. Now you can make us all rich by

simply losing. You must let Nayan beat

you. Drop dead. I believe that the best

should win. Listen, if you throw the

fight, there's a lot of money in for all

of us. Shut up! The only money I want is

the money for winning. I happen to

believe I'll win. I don't believe in

cheating. I fight only to win. So get out!

Today you might not find that so easy.

You'll see. Nyhan will be the next champ.

Don't be sure.

Now go tell Nyhan he's gotta kill him.

You're both well acquainted with the

rules of the competition, and the first

man who breaks them will be disqualified,

right?Okay.

Get him!

123 Tell him to make

with that left coke. Yeah, OK.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten.

Let's go.

Not here.

Not here.

Hey, what's this place for?It's winter.

Is this to your liking?

Yeah. I

kind of like the smell.

Don't

move.

Good

God.

Tell me now, what's the name of your

method?In my school, we call it knife

style. Do you think I could learn it?

Yeah, it's not so difficult, if you've

got the will. Tell me then, could you

teach it to me?Could do, but practice is

quite strenuous, really. Oh, I don't

mind. Right then. We'll practicetogether.

You must be tired out now. It's hard on

the fingers. Any improvement?

Uh, I don't know. Show me some. Hmm,

all right.

Come on. Why don't you rest now?

Why don't we go somewhere?Wouldn't you

like to buy some ivory to take home with

you?Yeah. I saw a great test today. No

kidding. Is that so?Let's go

look at it. I'm

afraid it's one of the materials that I

like. I'm sorry, maybe next time.

How much is this?Oh, I'm sorry, I'm

afraid this one's been sold. How about

these?Have a look, man. How about

these?Just pick one.

What a shame. I like that.

He's got toast, huhOnly likes the best.

Sure, sure

When you get some more, please keep one

for me. My friend wants to take some

ivory to Taiwan. Oh, right, rightAnd if

you want, we'll get a big one.

Your sister wants you to go home, you

know. You should go. I

mean, who's looking after your gymnasium

now that you've gone?It's too much for

her all by herself. Don't worry. My

brothers are there to take care of

things. I'm not leaving yet, till you've

learned the knife style properly.

So now you see, he just doesn't want to

go home yet. I know that. He's made a

letter to his sister.

Ah, is

it mail?Sure is.

There's a letter from Thailand just come

for you here.

This letter is from my brother. I bet it

says that he's not coming back for a

while. I know him very well.

When's he coming back then?Very

soon now. He says he's bringing a friend

back to stay with us in the gymnasium for

a while. Here, you have a look.

That's right.

You really do speak our language very

well indeed. Thank you.

Thank you. Don't mention...

Hey. I've heard it said that you're ready

to train for your third den, correct?

Not so. What?

Judo third then, karate fifth.

You know Judo?Yes.

Show me then.

Take us off.

Yes, sir.

Now all of you come here. Come on.

fantastic. That's wonderful. That's

wonderful. Come on, follow me.

Aye Hey, wonderful. But there's something

about your style that calls to mind the

style of our own King Boxer. What's that?

I just said that you remind me of another

fellow called Chao. People here give him

the name of King Boxer. For his age,

he's a great boxer. Where can I find him?

In his gymnasium. I will see him.

Hey! Hey

Hey

Who

are you, man?May

I just introduce Mr. 2PN to you?

He's been wanting to meet your master.

Ohh What the hell did you come for?

Our young master isn't home now. Should

this gentleman tell us what he wants him

for?We would like to see your Chinese

boxing. Right then. I'll show

you. Ah

Just why are you fighting with him?Who is

this?This young

lady is the King Boxer's

sister.

How are you, Miss Chow?Just why did you

bring him here?Ah, Mr. Du

Pien has come a very long way just to see

your brother. He's not here today, but if

he was here, you wouldn't get away with

this.

Ryan.

What are you doing?Now,

when your brother gets here, if he

succeeds him beating me, I'll replace the

sign.

Are you getting on better?Improving?Or

are you still hurting, huhI'm

no good. He's so impatient.

I think he's improving a lot. Just look

at his hands, and you'll know.

You'd better rest now. Have a snack.

You're working too hard. Come,

come

Come.

You'll have this here.

Glad you like it. It's from back home.

Hey, is something wrong then?

No, no, no, noThe food brings you back

memories.

ohh Hi there, hi.

What you got today then?What's it like?

Yes, come on, give it a try.

Hey, there you go. Some more cool down.

Great. Mmm. There. There we

go. Hey, come on now. Come

on, let's have a drink and toasteverybody,

huhCheers. Come on, Come

on drink. Come on, drink up now.

All right, that's it. Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers. Thanks.

It's really very nice here. But

this room's too crowded.

Uh, tomorrow night. I'm inviting Miss

Chow for dinner, and we'll meet in a

private room. Sure, sure

Well, see you. Yeah. Mmm. All

right, bye.

Now, Miss Chow, Mr. Toupian invites you

for a little supper with him tonight. I

just hope you won't disappoint him. I'm

sorry, I will not go. Yeah.

Don't be hasty. He's so powerful. I would

say that you're pretty lucky. That man is

influential. When he

likes a girl, she can have what she

likes. She can have anything.

You could do yourself some good. It's

none of your business. You just go.

What are they, swine?When my brother

comes, he will see to them.

My brother is more powerful than that

foreigner.

He'll show that crew, all of them.

Quickly, now. Yes, sir, yes, sir.

Try the other side. Quickly,

quickly, come on, now.

Mr. Yao.

Tell me, is it true Miss Yao hasn't come

yet?Yes, yes, but she's being brought

here. Hey, hey

You go see.

Hey, you go get her now.

Sure, yeah, I'll go and get her now.

Step. They're outside the door.

Shall I lift them in?

I won't hide from him. Open.

Huh

Tester, what is happening?

Well now, so it's you. You're back here

again. Wonderful, wonderful.

Now you're back, your pupils will beglad.

Miss Chow. Doupien wants you. He's been

waiting for a long time now. The food is

cold, but his temper's getting hotter.

HuhUh Take back a message. She stays at

home with me, see?If he will come

tomorrow and defeat me here, I'll buy his

dinner.

Right you are, then.

Oh!And if I win, then he'll replace the

board that he broke today. You tell him

what I say.

Well, is she coming then?She refuses.

Refuses?Uh, her brother is back

now, although he won't let her come. He

said that he... Said what?He said...

that we should apologize to him.

What's that?Uh, King of

Boxers wants our apologies now.

That's an insult!

Are you the king of boxers?HmmYou asked

to see me. Sure did.

You need to talk, is it?No.

There's no need to kill him.

I'll let you go now. Should we ever meet

again?I swear that I'll kill you.

Now this... He said if he was

defeated, he'd buy a new emblem. Make

sure he does. He must present it himself

and humbly apologize, or he'll die.

Sure, sure, sureI will arrange it all

immediately. Uh Yes, yes, sure.

Hey, go on. Go, go, go.

Goodbye.

This may hurt in here.

Ah You fool! Quiet! I'll

go now. Goodbye.

Don't be too hasty. Heal your wound, and

then you can think of revenge. Listen,

send Mr. Xiao Tao. Let him take the

emblem back for you. HmmWe Chinese have

got an old saying, It's better late than

not at all, so you really must be

patient. Someday, you'll annihilate the

brother. His sister will be completely

at your mercy, right?

You get up. Go.

What are your wishes?You say.

That guy will be hard to stop. We must

outwit him. That's not hard to see, and

how to go about it isn't hard.

If you don't deliver the new emblem just

as he says, he will just have to come

here. HmmHe must come alone.

All right. Now do it. Yes, sir.

Du Pienna is still recovering, so he sent

me and Mr. Chow Tow here to

apologize. I sincerely hope that you'll

forgive him. He wants to tell you that

he's sorry, so he would like you to have

dinner with him tonight. Before he

leaves. Tonight be OK?

Tell us what it's about. The King of

Boxers is such a famous fighter, you know

that. Our master admires his great skill

and strength most highly. This really

gives highest honor to us Chinese. You

surely don't think you are Chineseanymore?

I just hope that our king of boxes will

still come and eat. I will let you know.

Thanks so much. I'll wrap it up for you

right away.

He'll be surprised to get such good

ivory. It's just what he searched for.

Now what do you say?When will you take it?

I'll go and see him. Now, I'd

like to come too. HuhYou really want to

go with me?Mm-hmm

That's wonderful. I'll write and tell

Chow. You'd better not forget

to.

Sorry, Miss Chow wants you. Right then.

Coming.

Sister, this is a good friend. Jesus

name, he's from Thailand.

Master, look here.

Sister, see this. The Japanese invites me

to his place.

I wouldn't be too hasty before you go

think of how he hates you. Right. You

hurt him badly and he asked you to dine.

I can't believe he'd be so forgiving.

I'm not blind, you know. I don't trust

him at all. But that doesn't mean I'm

afraid. That's a

bad place he's invited you to. Please

take care. You really mustn't worry.

We'll make it up. And after we do, he

won't be bothering us anymore at all.

Master, you can't go alone.

Let us go with you. HmmYou stay.

Come back early. Now you

must be careful. Don't worry.

Goodbye.

Look.

Here he comes.

Ah, no.

Noel, please, drink up.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you. Thank you. Come on, drink up.

Yes, come on, drink up.

Cheers.

I'll go first. Hey now, come on,

eat up. Hey, everybody serve our

guests here.

Yeah, thank you, thank you.

Uh, cheers. Cheers.

Oh, well then, Mr.

Dupien is very sorry about the fight.

He hopes... That he and I can now be

friends. But I'm ready to do that thing.

You're a far greater teacher than I will

ever be. I admire that very

much.

Hey, tell them to stop singing.

Hey, now be off.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

yeah

Who's on this thing?I couldn't say. They

had a few drinks. An argument started up,

and they began to fight then. He wiped

out many good men. Most of our men. Until

finally...

Mr. Wong, come and see us before too

long. We want to talk with you now. Down

here. Down here.

Let's go. All right. Come on.

Yeah,

bring it in here.

Looks like he's here now. Oh.

Tell him what I want then.

Sure. Hey,

you'd better stop practicing. All right,

sir.

Okay, let's get out

of here. Ah, it's Mr. Wong. Sit down. No,

thanks. My master was killed here, and we

still don't know why. So I expect you'd

want to give us an explanation. Ah, that

simply isn't my affair. You're sad to see

cut short such a promising career.

See here, we're just underlings. Can we

expect to know our masters' minds, then?

HuhSo many men have been killed here. How

do you explain it, though?Well, that's

right.

Mr. Chu Pian would like a complete

reconciliation. And there is one perfect

way. He and Miss Chao will become one and

go back to Japan. Impossible! She'd

rather die first. Now then. Don't be such

a fool. Or do you want more bloodshed

then?To kill any more of the men would be

such a waste. If the families of those

who died decide to seek revenge, could be

your men would die for nothing. Your

empty threats don't scare us.

Hey, hey, hey, come back.

Please don't be angry. You'd best go back

and talk this matter over urgently with

your mistress. Huh

Shibi, where are you?Right now, you must

stop these tears. Now's the time for

control.

I must tell you, today everybody's eyes

are on you.

What?Yao told me Tou

Pien says he wants to take you back with

him. I think you better hide from him.

No.

You know I can't go.

Well, is she coming then?No, she's not.

But we're keeping a close watch on the

gymnasium. She won't get away.

That I promise you.

They're watching. We can't escape from

here.

His men are surrounding the house. They

will not get me to go out.

Right, this is it.

Just think how pleased he'll be. I can't

wait to see his face. I bet he doesn't

expect to see us. Hmm

Hey, what do you want?Come to see

friends. Who?My good friend Shopee Chang.

Hmm

Watch him.

I see we've come too late then.

My good friend, here's the ivory I

promised you. I got it after all,

but it's all from nothing.

I swear to you that blood's gonna flow.

You'll see revenge is here.

You just get 2PN here then, and I'll make

sure that honor is satisfied.

There are just too many men, I'm afraid.

There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll

just use a knife style to finish 2PN off.

What matters now is that 2PN dies.

Brother.

Will you please tell 2PN?I don't marry

him after all. What?

But first, he must

come here and ask forgiveness. It's on

the altar.

She says she'll marry you after all, but

she wants a promise from you, that you'll

come and pray on the altar now. If you do

that, then she says she'll be your bride,

of the quarrel will be over.

That sounds fine to me. Marriage is what

you wanted, and the demands are simple to

mourn as usual.

Right, I'll do it then.

I'll go back now.

Master, no need to worry. We'll have

weapons there to protect you.

He's the one.

You swine you, I'll take revenge on you

now. Before the altar, I'll make you pay

for your deed. Come here and

atone for what you've done, then.

Ciao, my friend. Your spirit can rest in

peace.

I think we should leave here now. We

should get far away from this place of

death and sadness. Don't let's

wait a minute longer. Surely,

thank you. I will be leaving here

too. Its memories are too sad.

I suppose we'll say goodbye now then. No.

We must all stay together from now on and

make a fresh life up north.
