Medicine, medicine, cure all medicine.

Good for headaches, bites, burns, stomach

trouble, nausea.

Isn't you wonderful?Ohh

This is right to open.

Wasn't that great?

That was pretty easy. Now she's going to

do the reverse. Take a good look at

this. Ladies and gentlemen,

this is

left looping. Hey,

how was that, huh

Hey, now look at this trick.

Hey, hey, my friends. It all seems quite

easy, but it takes years of training. OK,

now watch this.

You must think she doesn't have a spine.

Yes, she does have a spine, but it's a

real soft wound.

Now look at this.

Where's my brain?

Thank you. You're from out of town.

You know, our head minister is going to

pass through here. That's why our

security is very strict. It's a nuisance.

Donny. He sure looks familiar.

Hey, miss, you should stay home.

It's chaotic out here. This is my home.

This shop belongs to my father. Come in

and have a bite.

Okay.

Mr. Martin, don't mind him. Three

days have passed now and you have

promised me to repay the money you owe

me, so I'll fart. I'm

not leaving till I get it. Oh, Mr. Ma, I

still have some money problems. Please

give me a few more days. I promise you

you'll have it. Really, Sir, have a

heart. Remember what you said last time,

huhYou swore by Buddha that if you

couldn't pay, you'd let us have your

daughter. My Lord would treat your

daughter well. If she's lucky, she might

be his concubine. HuhDipshit

Do I look like concubine material?Why

don't you say your sister or even your

mother?Fellmouth, bitchI'll teach you a

lesson.

Only bastards hit women. Up yours!

Mister, thanks for your help. You're

welcome. Mister, you better leave right

away. Why?Why should I leave

right away?You've got yourself into

trouble. I have not. Of course you have.

Do you know just now the fellow you threw

out the window?Do you know him?Who cares

a shitYou should. He's the right-hand man

of Wan Yoon, the notorious iron

head. Wan Yoon. I'm looking for him.

Idiot. You are not his match. You will

die.

Milord, I've arrested a few rebels out

there on the streets. Please instruct us

what to do with them.

Bring them in. Yes.

Bring them in. Come on, move it. You

heard him. Move it. Come on, move it.

Kneel up. Shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. Come on.

Ruthless rebels. How dare you

scoundrels rebel against us. Are you

tired of living then?

Quiet!

Huh

Then explain why

you had all your braids cut off. Hmm

I was watching the street fair, and then

I realized my braid had been cut off.

Yeah, I was moseying around. I didn't

know where my braid was cut off. My Lord,

I was staring at a pretty girl. I was cut

off guard when my hair was cut off.

That's the truth, my Lord. But we have

the truth. Shut up.

You're lying. To make you talk, I use

torture. Get it ready. Yes. Repair the

works now.

You rebels deserve this punishment.

OK, men, hurry up. Hold it.

Let him go.

Judging from your fist fight, you must be

Mighty Fist Master Chao. Your

Lordship. You have keen eyes.

Master Chao, sit down.

We didn't know you were coming. Sorry.

Sorry

That's all right. I say, your Lordship,

is it necessary to use torture on these

rebels?Yes.

I can't be soft on these rebel bastards

There's rumor that you, Sir, are one of

them.

Your Lordship, it was I who cut off their

braids just to test your reaction

against them.

Yes, yesAnd now

I'm certain that these rumors are

completely false.

I have always been loyal.

Release those people. Yes.

Get out. Thank you. Thank you. Get out.

Go. Your

Lordship. Yes. Has everything been

prepared for the head minister?Yes,

everything has been prepared. He will

stay at Antien also. He will be

safe. Thank you, my friend. Sit down. Sit

down.

Ever since I lost my eyesight, my friend,

my wife became severely ill and died.

I've got no choice, so I thought I'd come

to you for help. I thought

I could use your shop. I'd play.

Phoenix would sing. That might work

if Phoenix marries well. Then I'll have

nothing to worry about. Oh,

sure, sureStay here and play here.

Thank you. Thank you. Hassan, you are my

friend. Do whatever you like.

Oh, idiot, we got a guest.

Mister, come in. Come in, please. Take a

seat. Sit anywhere, huh

Hey, Mister.

Repairs.

Repairs. Repairs.

Hey, Tinker. Oh,

Tinker. Our wok has a whole. Please mend

it for us. Sure. Wow,

this is such a big wok.

How many mouths do you have to feed?You

ain't seen nothing. This wok here isn't

so big. Our master loves to

entertain. For each meal, we must use

four woks to do the cooking.

Oh, who is your master?What's his

name?Our master is Wan Yun

Ironhead. Don't you know him?Of

course. Ironhead Wan Yun. Let's not waste

time. Mend the wok.

Nothing big, just one hole.

Hey, how much do you want?

$10?Huh$10?$10 for

one hole?With $10, I can get a new

one. This walk has more than one

hole. Who says?OK,

look for yourselves. I swear there's only

one hole.

Not too expensive. There are too many

holes.

You again. You've come to your own

funeral. So it's you. I see. You didn't

get enough of a spanking. Bastard

That's him, Sir. He poked quite a few

holes in our walk. See.

Stop it.

Well, my friend, I don't think I've seen

you here before. If you have any grudge,

just tell me about it. I'm a good

listener, you know. Are you

Juan Yoon?Yes. And

just who are you?No need for you to know.

Then may I ask why you barged into my

house?I want to strike a business deal

with you. So I see. Let's

set a time. Tonight at 3:00. I'll

meet you at the big tree. Fine.

I'll be there. Make sure you come alone.

I'll be alone. Fine. It's a deal.

I'll see you tonight. Right.

HuhHey, Miss, tell me why

you keep playing with your braid.

I like it. I

see. Oh, I

get it. Miss, they say you

use it as a weapon. Miss,

is your kung fu fantastic?

Jade. Jade, where are you going?

Dad, I have something urgent that I must

attend to. HuhWhat's that?

That tinker we met today. He's weird. Huh

How weird?According to our sources, a

spy from the South would come in disguise

as a tinker and assist us in our cause.

That's right. And yet he's gone to

collaborate with Wan Yun. Wan Yun is a

good-for-nothing, ruthless bastard

Therefore, I have doubts about him. So

what then?So I must find out.

OK, but you be careful, you

hear?Dad, I've inherited all your

Kung Fu. I'm a big girl. Don't worry.

Who's there?

Not bad. Not bad. Excellent kung fu.

I figure you're no ordinary guy.

How should I address you, huh

Dragon. Dragon.

Oh, so I've heard there's one man in the

South who excels in Eagle Snatch

He can't possibly be. I am that

man. So you're the dragon.

I see. Yes, I see.

Now you know. I heard you've joined the

rebels down South. In that case, may I

know why you've come N to our town?

Are you on some kind of mission here?

Master Wan, you're a clever man.

Please accept this. This isn't kosher.

I couldn't. No.

Tell you the truth. I'm on a mission to

assassinate the head minister. What's

that?This is a serious matter. That's why

I need you to back me up.

Let me consider this.

I thought the revolutionaries were smart,

but this one seemed really stupid,

revealing his plans like that. I should

capture him, hand him over to the Qing

head magistrate.

At the same time, it is my men to stage a

revolt to take over the Qing dynasty, and

I will be emperor at last.

Tell me, what's your decision?Fine. We

must first work on a plan. Please.

Don't move.

Oh, dear. I should have known. Take the

money and run. You guys are no use.

I'm leadership material. I'll take charge

of the revolt and get rid of you all.

Can't we collaborate with each other?

That's impossible. And now we're

alone. I'm afraid your life is in my

hands. You sure that we're alone?

Of course. This place is quite isolated.

Well, you're wrong. Look behind you.

Huh

Thanks for your help.

Stay put. Don't move. Tell me what you're

up to, because if you don't, I'll kill

you. I really have

underestimated you. You're pretty

observant. Hmm

Tell me, are you Miss J Jade?

How do you know my name?I know your

whole background because I'm a comrade

from the South. If you were my comrade,

you'd have short hair. Don't take me for

a sucker.

So that's why you were concerned.

Take a look.

I'm sorry. I should have known. You were

right in being careful. Except Wan

Yun has escaped. That's trouble.

We can't depend on him now. We must do

something else.

Go and see the magistrate. Set up a time

and place. I need to see him. Tell him

that. Right. I'll go now.

Who's there?

You're a Lordson. This late and

you're still working, Master Chow. I was

writing a letter to a friend. Oh,

why do you put it in your jewelry box?It

must be quite important.

Your Lordship, you've got a few

priceless antiques in there.

These pieces are family heirloom.

If Master Chao fancies them, then they're

yours to keep.

I like them. They look very

interesting.

They go back to the Song dynasty. I'm

sure you will like them. I'll be honored

if you would take them with you.

In that case, I'll accept them.

And rest assured you will be

compensated for them. Just

send in a good word for me, Master Chao.

You have to fix up two pretty young

girls for the head minister. Can I count

on you?Of course you

can. How good. I'll be leaving.

See you soon. Have a pleasant evening.

Yes, it's JJ.

Any news?I've made contact with our

southern comrade.

Have you checked him out?Is he our man?

Yes, he is. He's dragon and he wishes to

see you. Please set the time and place.

Hand this note to him and don't lose it.

It contains all the instructions about

the place.

He's eager to see you. Follow the

instructions in the note exactly as

written, and he'll be there. OK,

I'll

be

there.

Hey,

pretty

girl, come upstairs. Daddy,

should I go upstairs?

Okay.

Hey, pretty girl, this is Master Wan.

Master Wan, my name is Phoenix.

Phoenix. That's a pretty name.

How old are you?I'm only

18 years old. Oh,

great age for a pretty girl.

Come, sit down. Sit down.

Go on. That's a great honor.

Yeah.

Phoenix, I like your singing very

much. Now, is it possible to

sing for me alone, huh

HuhSure, I'll sing right now.

No, not just now, please.

Then when would you like me to sing?

Tonight, my dear. Tonight?

But tonight, this place isn't open. Well,

I'll come to your place then. Oh, Master,

you're joking.

Who are you?I want you. Why did you

follow me?I have something to tell you.

Well, tell me then. There's a riddle over

there. Huh

You're the burning dogs like you are the

real revels.

I'm going to get you.

Hot, fiery sun. Oh, and a

clear blue sky.

You're the dragon. And you must be.

That's right. I'm the underground leader,

Shu Chung. My pleasure. I'm dragon.

J J's mentioned you. I need your

assistance. Originally I wanted to use

Wan Noon as our front man, but I found

out he can't be trusted. My plan's fouled

up and time is running out.

Your timing might be right. I'll hold a

banquet for the head minister. There'll

be wine and women. We can catch them off

guard. Great.

Wonderful. While those pigs are having a

good time, I can strike and kill

him. Wonderful.

Take care. It's only two days away.

I'll be here every morning at this time.

If you run into any problems, come up and

see me. Right.

Hassan, it's quite late. Are you

OK?Brother, do you know what

it is I'm here for?There is a story.

I thought you were here to sing a few

songs, make some money, find a husband

for Phoenix. Brother, you're too

simple-minded. Hassan, then what are you

here for?I'm a Southern

agent. Hassan, you must be kidding.

You can't even see with your eyes. How

can you be any use to them at all?A

man has been sent to kill the minister,

although he's very capable, yet he's very

green. So we're all very concerned. Oh,

is it the Tinker that you're referring to?

Of course. Right now we've been watching

his every little move, and we've been

watching you. Ha, Asan, I'm just

passing on information. I strive to do my

best. And if you need me for anything,

you just let me know, huhWon't you?For

sure. If you cooperate with me,

I'll make sure your merits will not go

unnoticed. Thank you, Assam. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

OK, OKCut the act. Sit down. It's

terrible. Something went wrong.

What happened?The hunchback. He's arebel.

He's not my concern. Don't make a big

fuss, you busy buddy.

Don't forget, we have a deal, dear, if

you don't play according to the rules.

Then you'll never return home again.

If I play along, then I go

home. If you help me, then I'll let you

go.

OK. What's the next move?

We must get rid of that hunchback. He's a

thorn, which is harmful.

Shall I kill him?No.

I want you to occupy someone so I can do

my job. Who?

Who's there?Phoenix, it's me.

The door's open. Come inside.

You are punctual, my dear Master

Wan. Sit down.

What's wrong?Don't you recognize me from

before?I see. I'm not

pretty enough.

No, noYou are pretty, my

darling. I want to.

Hey. Master

Wang, I'm not a cheap prostitute,

you know, so please don't treat me

like one. Oh, Oh no, I dare not.

We should have mutual respect. Be

on equal terms. You take it off,

then I'll take it off. Yes,

yesGo outside

first.

You do it outside. I'll do it

inside. Agreed. Agreed.

Undress.

Your turn.

Fire! There's a fire! Huh

Fire! There's a fire! There's a fire!

Quit! God help! Go on! Fire! There's

a fire! Fire!

No fire. Phoenix, darling.

Phoenix. Where?

WhereWhere is she?

HuhWhere's my jacket?

At about what time was your boss killed?

About four in the morning. Did you see

the murderer?No, no, no,

not very well. Except

when my master was fighting the killer

off. He tore his jacket off.

Where is it?Right

here.

It's covered with blood.

Do you recognize it?Whose is it?It

seems to belong to Master

Yun. What's going on?

What happened?I think there's been a

murder or something. In

that case, the killer is Wan Yun.

You. Come with me to see the magistrate.

Now!

JJ. Still mad at me?Oh, listen to

what I tell you. Staying with me is

better than that Tinker man of yours.

Dreamer. Let me

tell you, I'm a confidant of the head

minister. I'm his bodyguard.

People come to me for power,

for high positions, for fine

clothing.

Sorry. Well, I don't want any. Oh.

Then what do you want then?What I

want is a revolution against the Manchu.

I want your damn blood for killing my

father.

How can you be certain that I killed your

father?I followed you here. I saw you.

Too bad. The evidence will implicate

others. So you're involved as well.

You'll pay for your crime. I'll make

sure you won't get away with it. Too

late. I'll kill you first. I'm not

afraid. Even if my body perishes, my

spirit will not. Also, we'll kill the

minister. We'll succeed.

Take a break. You're all

dreaming. Ching dynasty.

We will never collapse after I

finish. With my work, I'll take care of

you. In

you go. Now,

here they are. close your doors and

witness. The head minister is coming.

Don't yell. I'm not a thief. I'm the

revolutionary.

Will you behave yourself?I accomplished

my job, gave you the jacket. Yeah, you

done me here without a thank you. All

right, then. I apologize. Then let's go.

We've got to wait.

I must go into town. Make sure the

minister is safe and sound.

After he leaves, then I'll come back.

What if you don't come back?Do I look the

type?Let me tell you, I won't wait long,

so hurry up. Trust me,

my friends, my dear brothers, we

pledge our loyalty to our leader, Master

Wang. He will demonstrate his iron

head skill, which is inconquerable

and now. Welcome, our great master. Long

live, master. Long live, master.

Long

live master.

This kung fu is useful and powerful.

Right now, the southern rebels are

scheming to kill the minister.

The Chings are concentrating on catching

them. This is our

opportune moment.

Pay close attention while I demonstrate.

It's my turn to watch you practice

1-2.

Three. That's good.

Keep on practicing. I must excuse

myself now. Await my

orders, Sir.

One you. I

should have killed you. You're a

good-for-nothing scar of the earth.

Dragon. We're not enemies.

Let it be.

Why did you kill the owner of this shop

and kidnap JJ?

You're muttering nonsense. Your

jacket. Is the proof that is covered

with blood. Poor man's blood.

Hey! Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey

Hey

I'm out. Where are you chasing?

What's happening here, Master?We just

caught that singer Phoenix spying on our

operation. Really. Well,

I must get hold of her. Which direction

was she running?Towards that way.

I lost her.

You stay right here. Keep an eye open for

her, Sir.

You're a mean girl. You stole my jacket

and framed me with the murder. Don't take

me for a sucker. I'll show you what I can

do.

Master, if you're a real

gentleman, you should be forgiving.

At first, I thought you were a nice girl.

Who would have thought you were so nasty?

I'm not what you think.

Why?I was forced to do it by

Lee San. Forced by your father.

He's not my father at all. An

imposter.

I won't lie to you. Ever since I

first met you at the restaurant, I knew

that you were a kind man.

I belonged to a happy family

before Lee San came along. I

learned singing when I was young.

One day while I was singing, Lee

Sands suddenly appeared. After

he saw me, he forcibly took

me. It's been a

year that I've lived in pain,

but I've been real fortunate to have a

man who could save me,

and that person is you.

I told Lee San I really wanted to follow

you, and yet he said I could see

you only once. If I could prove that

you love me, he'd let me go.

Really.

That time was a time of the false fire

alarm. As you went out, Lee

San went back on his words and kidnapped

me up here.

Now, at last, I've met you again. Don't

let me go. Don't point that knife at me.

You want to come with me?Of course,

and I will prove it to you.

Master One, this time, please don't lose

your jacket again, and if you do, please

don't blame it on Phoenix. Of course not.

When Yun is dead now, Lisanne is not

to be found. This is the time for

me to liberate myself. Where

should I go?

I would go South and join the

revolutionaries.

You're here. I was going crazy. Awful

things have happened. Our hunchback was

murdered by Wan Yun. J Jade has been

kidnapped. We must think of something

fast. Our

important task is the minister. We must

kill him. The rest just has to wait.

That's no good.

J Jade's in great danger in the hands of

Wan Yun. Listen to me.

There's no time for sentiments. Time is

running out. Well, I need

some time to rescue JJ. Can you tell me

where I can find White Newland?

I don't know. Why don't you try North

Mountain?That's a good hiding place.

Show me.

Take that route and you'll find the path

up there. Thanks. I'm going.

Listen, I'll be back in time.

JJJJ

Your Highness, our magistrate has

been waiting outside to pay his respects.

God. God. God.

Good. Let him in. Send a

word. Bring the magistrate Shu Chong to

the palace.

Send out the word.

Magistrate Shu Chong, you

have been summoned.

Your humble servant, Magistrate Xu Cheng.

Pays his respects.

You're such a clever girl. Thank you,

Your Highness.

What is your name, dear?My name is

Sweet Flower. Oh, sweet as

flower. Excellent name,

my Lord. The magistrate is now right

here. Oh, I

see.

My man. Yes.

Put this guy in jail.

Hold it, my Lord.

Have mercy, my Lord. Have mercy on me.

My Lord, the magistrate is loyal.

Huh Really?Isn't he a

rebel sympathizer?Your Highness,

I assure you, I've always been loyal.

I've never wronged. Your Highness,

I have investigated his case when I got

here. Indeed, he is

definitely one of us. Oh, how can you

tell?My Lord, those two beautiful girls

were sent by him

specially to serve Your Highness. Oh, in

that case, is he OK?He's OK, I can

assure you. Oh, my Lord.

He's been on his knees all this time.

Don't you think he should stand up now?My

beauty. You have a heart of gold, don't

you now?

Have mercy.

All right, you stand up.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness, you have taken a long

trip. Your guards must be tired too.

Today's a holiday. I have

prepared a special banquet for your much

deserved guards to enjoy.

Also, I've prepared for you, my Lord, a

grand banquet to celebrate your arrival.

Wonderful. You are very thoughtful.

And very efficient. Huh

Yes, Your Highness. Perhaps you can

express your delight.

HmmOK.

I'll promote him to head magistrate.

Thank you, Manor.

Untie me. Come on, come

onWine and food from the magistrate. Come

on. Over here. Come on. Come

onGet in there. Get in there. I

want more wine. Oh, my

God. Oh,

that's a bar. Yeah, thank you. This is

great. It's

about time we had a good time like this.

Cheers.

Come on, enjoy it.

You want

some more wine?Yeah. Give

me another one.

There's enough wine here for all night

long.

Good food too. This majesty is

really generous, isn't it?Good wine, good

food. I don't mind stuffing myself to

death. Come on, let's eat more.

What's that noise?Dragon boat race.

Oh, yeah.

All right. Hey, look. Dragon boat

race. Come on. Come on,

everyone. All of you. Oh, not

too drunk. Leave that that crop. Is

this your girl or mine?She's all yours.

Okay. Hey,

hey miss, you're looking for me, aren't

you?Where's the minister?

He's got two already, I'm afraid.

Two. Hey,

have a drink with us. We'll we'll show

you a good time, won't we, man?

Hold it. Do you know

what place this is?I won't allow you to

make a fuss here. This place belongs to

the Chinese. I'm entitled to come and go.

That is ridiculous.

Go away, you running dog. I only want

your master. You're of no significance.

If you don't, you'll regret it. Take my

word for it.

You need to be taught a lesson, you

brainless, far-mouthed tart.

Ow.

Let's go in.

Weren't you blind?

You're the blind man. You can't even

detect an imposter. You want to

assassinate our head minister?You fools.

Idiots.

You can, Father. I want your blood today.

Maybe you want my blood or I'll have your

blood.

You're too preposterous to want to kill

me. Hey, boys. Yes. Grab them. Kill them.

Yes.

No! Fight!

You still have other duties. You must go

South. Can't let them delay you. Let's

go. Yes.

Where are we going?Head towards North

Man. Yeah.

They were heading that way. They follow.

Hold it. There's a shortcut. We'll take

it.

Don't let them go.

Now, I've got you in the palm of myhands.

ohh Hey, Hey come on, have a sip, huh

No. It's really good. What?Have a sip.

Come on, be my guest. Hey,

Hey come on. I don't even find-- Hey, no.

Come on. Hey, what's wrong with you, huh

Let me go. HuhWhat?No. Huh

Hey, you what?You knocked my

wine over. Oh. Ow!

Why'd you hit me?

Who the hell are you?

Snake, Jim. I'm the

snake expert who raid. Turn around

and go back before you're hurt.

I got...

Asshole you're going nowhere. Today's

your funeral day.

ah

JJ.

JJ! JJ!

Did you kill the man?Huh

Wonderful.

Don't give up your work with the

revolutionaries.

You must continue

as a compatriot.

Overthrow the Qing dynasty.

That is the. Major task.

Take care. I

my dear friend,

I I must leave first.

No, no,

you must not die. You must not die. Thank

you.

Everything. If

we we

are meant to be.

Next time I will.

I'll see you.

JJ.

Jay. Jay.
