Chinese Kung Fu has a long history going

back more than 1000 years, but even today

its power still not has been exhausted.

The various techniques are still being

improved on. In fact, there are very many

different fighting skills under the

single heading of Chinese Kung Fu. And

their practice not only strengthens the

body and provides the individual with a

controlled system of self-defense, it

also serves as an excellent concentration

for the mind. And the study of the theory

and practice of Kung Fu, harnessed to the

individual's own personal requirements,

produces a formidable fighting man.

Most of the movements in Kung Fu are

modeled on various animals. For instance,

the tiger, ohh the lemon,

The praying mantis, the eagle,

the monkey, the crane,

ohh and the snake. Of all the various

movements, the crane and the snake are

most defined and most difficult.

If a man can master them, he will be an

exceptional fighter. The crane is a very

intelligent bird, and its light is very

beautiful as well. Its gentle wing

movements led to deceptive air of peace.

It also possesses powerful feet. Though

in flight, these cannot be put to much

use. With attack volunteer, the crane

neither fights back with his wings nor

his feet, but with his beak. Many a

predator has thought twice about

attacking after feeling the sharp edge of

the crane's beak. When practicing this

style of kung fu, it is necessary to

attack the enemy in the manner of the

crane with his beak. The

snake, on the other hand,is one of the

fastest creatures there is over the

ground. A sense of smell and

sighting exceptionally acute. Usually

a snake will lie still until it sees what

is around it. But once it is ready to

attack, it will raise its head in order

to strike. The snake is basically

peaceful. It won't attack unless

threatened and won't chase after an

enemy. Someone less than the snake style

of kung fu has to develop a great

capacity for stealth of movement. An

attack must be very swift. There

are many varieties of Kung Fu. It is

impossible to learn them all, but any one

of them, or a combination, can transform

a man into a powerful fighting machine,

the equal of anybody alive.

Please forgive me, disturbing you like

this at so late an hour.

Think nothing of it. You are welcome.

My house is always open.

Butter's name be praised. I've

come because I've something to tell

you. Oh, what

is that?It all happened

20 years ago.

Hong Kun Shan, Tin Yi Fei and I

were swan blood brothers. We got

on well together and we excelled at Kung

Fu. We gave aid to the weak and were

well known among the poor people. But I

never guessed that Hong Kun Shan was

really a traitor working for the Qing

until he tried to kill Tin and me.

To make matters worse, perhaps because I

was young, I believed Hung's story

about Brother Tin. And I

suspected him too.

So I collaborated with Hung. But

Tin already knew something was up

and had become wary of Hung. He

decided at the last to go off

on his

own. Hung persuaded me that Brother Tin

had stolen the snake crane secret for

himself and that he worked for the Ching.

All right, brother, I didn't cheat you,

but he's past saving. We can't show

mercy. You can't. Don't hesitate for a

moment. Oh,

what are you doing?

Well, a lot of surprise, brother. I know

very well what game you're playing. You,

brother. We're in this thing together

now. No matter what you might like,

nothing's going to change that.

So even you have become rotten.

How dare you say that?You've got no right

to. We were

blood brothers once. Now hand it over and

get out of here. What do you mean?

Brother, don't talk to him. Get him.

Hey.

Father, don't hesitate.

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! What are you

doing?Brother, I figured Tim wouldn't

come alone, so I brought some help.

Daddy! Daddy!

So he killed Brother Tin, but Hung

wasn't satisfied. He

wanted more. He wanted to kill the

children too.

Brother,

kill a lot of them. They'll only make

trouble. Brother, they're children.

Don't start acting like a woman.

He's stomping.

What his name be praised?Mr. You

have killed too much already.

These kids are innocent. If you don't

stop, you live to regret it.

Grab it. Forget it.

Then it's your turn.

So you're the real traitor to the king.

It's too late now, even if you do know.

I was badly hurt, but I escaped.

I intended to go away

and never return,

but I just can't forget it. I'm sorry for

what I didn't.

You cannot really blame yourself.

It wasn't your fault that it happened.

No, Kane was murdered.

And his boys were both rescued by this

monk. I've been trying to find them,

but up until now I've no news.

If they're both well, what is it you want

to do?I have come

on a long journey here to ask

your instructions on what to do.

Bodder's name be praised.

That monk you mentioned happens to be an

old colleague of mine. Ohh And

the children?Brother Snake is

always traveling. He came

here 20 years ago and

asked me to take care of the younger boy.

I've kept him here with me.

I've been teaching him Gung Fu.

He's called Erlang--

As for the older boy, Snake took him with

him. I have no news of them.

If Erlang's here with you, I needn't

worry about him.

Just the older boy.

Thank you very much, but I have to go.

Oh, why are you in such a hurry?

I will not rest until I've found.

The older boy, the one called Ta Long.

Take good care of yourself. Goodbye and

thank you.

I didn't realize you were coming to visit

us. We're unprepared for it. Is

anyone staying here now?Yes,

but now they've already left.

Nobody's here at present. No one is

staying here?Except for the monks. No

one else is here. Rabbit.

Don't play any games. You don't fool me.

If someone is here,

you better tell me. Do you

understand?Buddha's name

be praised. There is no need for these

soldiers to be in the temple.

There are too many traitors around here.

Don't you know that?We've no business

with the outside.

From what I know, Buddha's so

forgiving, isn't he?

If you don't believe in Buddha, why

do you ask?I want to find out, that's

all. Whether he is or he isn't.

There was someone else here that found

me. You. Hold it.

Behave yourself. Budda's name be

praised. Why have you come here

trying to stir up trouble?I'm sorry to

intrude, but it's my duty. I'm sure

you'll forgive me. Budda's name be

praised. Escortien?What

now?That's enough.

Let's go.

Who was guarding the gate this morning?

And let them in. You know soldiers are

forbidden here. They shouldn't have been

let in.

Where's the rank?

The book. Quickly,

go and find your rank. Yes, sir.

Mister, if you ask me,

you are in luck.

Nothing can be hidden

from the sun and the moon.

Then you can tell me how brightly

shine the sun and moon.

Of course. If

so, I'd be pleased if you gave me

the necessary instructions. Oh,

God.

Excuse me, Sir. We searched all the

temple grounds, but we found nobody, nor

was there any.

Nothing, Sir. Nothing at all.

Sorry, Sir. We failed in our duty.

Forgive us. You can't blame

yourself. They are too

well organized and expert at Kung

Fu. From now on, we will

act in secret. Yes, of

course, Sir. You may rise.

Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir.

Are you aware why you could find

nothing?Well, there's a man

called Erlang at the temple. Yes, I know.

He keeps a secret book.

Don't look so surprised.

I know. I have spies

everywhere.

He's a fool. We'll soon have him.

And when you do get that book, I want

that book here with me. Yes, Sir.

Pastor, how old is her life?

About 20 years old. The

secret book's important, but more

important than that is the secret name

list.

What I know, everyone's after that book.

I must think it's important. I know,

but the ching are even keener to obtain

the name list of the Sun and Moon

Association.

Oh, I see. So that's why they're looking

for the book. If the Ching should get

their hands on that list, it will be bad

for us. There's no time to lose. We must

find Erlang.

Good. Good

Good

Thank you.

Huh

Hey, he's gone.

There. Out

of the way. Quick. Out of the

way.

You all right?

Sign and moan. Huh

Is there any news of the Sun and Moon

group?Yes, Sir. They are very tricky.

Hard to catch. Oh,

if you ask me, we should attack the

temple. But

don't you realize the temple's too famous

for that?It's very old.

Too many people go there. Suppose we

go and then find nothing. I didn't think

of that.

I hear that another person has

entered the scene called Han Kui.

Yes, Sir.

I order you to kill him,

Sir.

For 20 years you have stayed him.

But now you've come out, but you're not

going back. Well,

at least I can give you a good send off.

Mister, what would you like to order?

Just tea. Just tea?

What have you put into this tea?

It's poison. I'm not gonna

bother killing you.

You can tell Hong Kong Shan to meet me.

Get away.

EhAh

Hey,

this house belong to you or to me?

Of course it's your house.

And my friend, you've done very

well today. Yeah.

Hey.

hmm

I call it chop. You interested?

What kind of job?Ever heard of the

man Hongkun Shan?Oh, oh,

you said my jokes.

Don't worry, I've got a plan.

What's your plan?

Very good kung fu. Huh

I knew that you were waiting there.

That's why I was practicing to let you

know. Oh, that's so.

I really don't like people creeping up

behind me.

What about yourself?

Little friend. Easy now. The Abbott's

been most concerned about your safety,

and so he sent me to look after you.

The Abbott sent you here.

You see, he feels the while he can't

object you're living on your own. He's

upset you took the secret Kung Fu book.

The Abbot wants to have it back, so I

hand it over now and I'll return it to

the temple. Quick, don't

try and fool me. You're lying. If the

Abbot wants it, he'd come here

himself. He'd never send someone in his

place. Come now. Who the

hell are you, young fella?You're quite

smart, but not smart enough for the likes

of me.

Hey,

hey, what's wrong?I told you

what you had to do. Stead you back to

your old tricks. Yeah, no need to tell

me. I'm lucky to be alive. I'm at a

killer today.

An officer. The Chief Ascot.

Where is he?I run away

from him. No, you didn't.

How over my thing.

Whoa! Ohh

Don't look at me. Here it is.

You damn bastardHow dare you steal

my things. I'll kill

you. Shulong. Erlang.

Erlang.

I'm looking for you.

Hand over that Kung Fu book and I'll

let him go. Otherwise,

bastard I'll teach you a lesson

you won't forget.

All right, I'll give it to you.

But first you have to let him go.

Why did you give him a Gong Fu book?

Because if I didn't, you'd be dead.

What's that?

You have to be all right. How

could you hand over the book?None of your

business. What do you mean?

You've no right to it.

No point chasing him. He's got away

already. Don't you know?He's an officer.

The chief escort. What?

Don't you realize what you've done?Oh,

we'll get hold of it now.

You're all useless, all of you.

What rubbish is this here?

Take a look at it. Umm

Now you go and get that book now. If

not, let him be an

example to you. Yes, Sir.

Chen Tung's not back yet.

I hope nothing has happened.

We had better wait for a while.

It's you, Carl Gentone.

You, Mr. Shen. Got any

news?Yes.

Hey, hey, who is it?I don't know. Take a

look. Hey, help me quick.

Hey, quick. Chin Tong's hurt. Chin Tong's

hurt. Come on. Chin Tong.

Chin Tong. I

I was ambushed on the way here.

Come on. Come onKeep carrying

inside.

Soldiers.

Chill hard. Chill hard. It's terrible.

Hundreds of soldiers are coming. Damn it.

We've been caught in a trap. Go. Great.

Take a look. HuhWhat

was that?

Gentle, take them now.

Gentle, you. Gentle, you're a damn

traitor.

Go, turn 2.

So you are Hugh Quay.

Well, that's good. I've been

looking for you.

You're not the person I want.

Patsy.

Patsy.

Shandlang, think of our

country. I can't stop

them. Run for it. Ohh

Thank you for saving my life last night.

Are you all right now?Yes, I'm much

better, thanks.

Then you're ready to go. Before I

do, there is something I would like to

say to you. The Qing conquered

our beloved country. They may be our

rulers, but mister,

with your kung fu skill, you should do

something to help us against the Qing.

For the sake of our country,We must drive

the Ching from power.

I'm on duty. Yes.

Tell them to get out. Oh, yes, Sir. Yes.

Everybody leave, please. Thank you.

Please come another day. Everybody. Thank

you. Thank you.

Are you Mr. Erlang?I

am. I am shouting son.

Master Hong knows that you want to see

him, so he sent me to fetch you.

But before I take you to meet him, will

you show me the book?It won't be

necessary. What do you mean by that?

I'm gonna wait till I meet Hong

personally before I get the book. Hmm

But I am his personal envoy.

You can show me the book. It's the same

thing.

Is he?Hmm

Sure about that.

God, tell Mr. Hunt to come in. You.

Maybe Mr. Hung doesn't want the

boat.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Mr. Hung doesn't go out often.

That is the only reason that I hesitate.

If you really want, I will go back and

talk to him and tell him

to send you an invitation.

Oh.

It's all right by me.

Go!

Once I obtain A nameless, then I will go

and have an audience with the Emperor.

He'll be pleased. I'm sure

to be greatly rewarded.

Congratulations, master. You always were

so smart. You deserve to succeed.

King Sam. Yes, Sir. I will meet with

Erlang in two days time, Sir.

Would you like to buy a picture?

A fighting hero. I know.

We haven't got one right now.

Please come again. Oh, I'll pay a

deposit. Thank

you. Hey.

From the information we've got, Lang is

going to deliver the name list to Hong,

so we must act immediately. That's right.

We must have let Hong get that list no

matter what it costs us.

I think we should make our move now and

not wait. Right. Every minute we waste,

the danger increases.

What a stupid fool, that young lad is.

But Mister, we must do something now. We

can't wait any longer. Let's go and talk

to him. Maybe I can

persuade him not to.

Come on.

Mister, you think you're

pretty smart?

I am. Who are you?What do you

want?We're the son of Moo Fighters.

We know you're in cahoots with the chin.

We've come for a talk. Really.

OK, then. You better listen to them.

Don't be such a fool. Who

the hell are you?I am your uncle. How

dare you say you're my uncle?My boy. I

am sorry about your father. I know you

must hate me. That's enough.

I'm far too busy. I've no time to talk to

you. My boy. Listen to

me. I know you hate me, but Even so,

that's no reason for betraying your

country. That's right. Aren't all of us

here of the same blood?How can you let

foreigners stay in possession of our

country, making our people slaves?

I do what I want to do, that's all. I'm

warning you. It's none of your

business. If any of you dare enter the

circle, I'll teach you a good lesson.

You stupid girl.

Stop chasing him. Well, Mr. We can't

afford to let him go.

I have an obligation to the lad.

I must let him have his own way. Hold

it. What are you doing?Don't you know

these are government premises?Go on, get

the hell out of here. Well, I'll come

here to talk to you. No shouting sign

to come out. Hey, you've got a big man.

How do you talk to us like that?All

right, you let him in?All

right, you're not. That's enough fromyou.

Get him,

Mr. Erlang. So you're here. Welcome.

Quite a reception committee. You stupid

fools! If you should offend Master Hong's

guest, you'll be punished! Won't you

please step inside?Please.

Hmm

Greetings, Master Hung.

Greetings, Master Hung. Get up.

Thank you, Master.

So you are Erlang.

Yes, that's good.

You bring the book with you?Yes, I have.

I told you, it is for Master Hong

only. All

right.

Though I'm not exactly sure why

you've agreed the secret books

wanted by many people.

Therefore, why do you allow me to have?

Because, Master, I wanted the chance to

serve you as an officer, if that's all

right. You'll soon

find out if you work for me that I can be

very generous. Thank you, Sir.

Name list. Name list?

What name list is that?What did you say?I

thought you wanted the secret kung fu

book.

Let him stay here with us, Sir.

Thank you, Master Hung.

You fool.

Quick. Call Escorts Chan and Shao

to come here. Yes, Sir.

Reporting, Sir.

I've read nearly all of it. But it

doesn't seem to make any sense. Master,

perhaps the name list isn't in it.

Impossible. The Sun and

Moon Association want it.

List must be here.

I suppose you're right. Then it must be

in a secret code.

I've always taken you into my confidence.

You look at the book and tell me what

you think of it.

Yes, I will, Sir.

Cognier. You can go too. Thank

you, Sir. Uh, I far

avenge your murder.

What do you want?I have something

to discuss with you.

So I've come here to ask you

a series of questions. Oh,

look, Erlang, you say you want

to work for us because you want to be an

officer. That's right. I

think that isn't true.

What's the real reason?What do you mean?

It's quite simple.

You handed the book over to us,

but you've omitted to tell us the code.

I think you're still playing games with

us. You.

All right, I'll tell you.

This one's called Crane Head and

Tail.

And that's Crane in the Dark. Ever heard

of that before?

Ohh Do

you know this one?

It's called the crane goes back to his

nest. You lying bastard

HuhDo you still really want to know the

code to read the secret book?

Hey, we're still friends, so I would hope

you aren't angry.

All right, we'll try it and see.

oh

So long, we're done.

Go on, watch them. Right.

Any news?No more news yet.

Maybe they haven't yet found out where

the secret name list is.

It's all my fault this happened, because

I didn't kill him.

Who is it?

How dare you break in?What are you doing?

Who

the hell

are you?

Somehow that guy looks familiar.

I'm sure I've seen him before.

But that's impossible. But I'm

telling the truth. You two

just don't get on together.

I've known that for a long time. But you

shouldn't do this. And try to

slander him. But he's. That's

enough.

Evoke. Please forgive me.

When I was fighting, no. When that

stranger attacked me, the book

accidentally fell in the water.

So it's Ting Kong Lang.

Well, I'll give you a

final order before you fulfill

your usefulness. Ting Sam.

Yes, Sir. You did a good job.

Get up now. Thank you, Master.

Teng-san, what's the matter?What do you

want?I'm sorry to disturb you

at such an hour, but you see. Master

Hung's just got some news. The trainers

are meeting tomorrow. He wants you to

look into it. Really. Does he?

Where's the meeting?Chenchu ruins.

Chenchu ruins.

You're a cruel man. What do you mean by

that?There's no time to explain

now. You're a filthy traitor. A real

bastardRight you are. I have to

be. When others plot against the Ching,

it's my duty to do

everything in my power to stop them.

You're a running dog of the Ching

traitors. You won't get away from me

this time. No, will you?

I'm gonna kill you today.

Hold it.

We are on an urgent mission. All

right, I'm from the Ching Hu Chan.

Kai Shu Han. Bert Lang.

Do you still Remember Me?

It's you, Uncle.

Uncle. Wait until I finish this bastard

here off, then I'll talk to you. No,

he's your brother. Erlang. Huh

That's impossible. Don't fool me.

You connive with that bastard to kill my

father. Now you're trying to trick

me. But it's true.

Before your father died, he

brought some Jade, which he cut into two

pieces and gave them to his

sons. You have one half, he

has the other.

It was his wish that you two would always

get on well together.

Brother. Brother.

I've completed my work.

Time for me to go.

No, Mr. You can't just go away like

that. There's still too many things left.

Well, we're going to need your help.

No, Uncle Hen.

He's gone already.

Hold on. Don't worry. We'll get our

revenge. No.

I want it now. I won't wait.

I'll go and get those bastards on my own.

No, Alan, you have to

understand. Your country

has to come first before revenge.

It's our family's business. It's

not yours. You, Alan,

it's our duty to take revenge. I can't

blame you for that. But you need to think

it out first. Did you give the Nameless,

the Hongkun Shan?I did it to get close to

him. So I could kill him.

I understand. But by doing that,

you've also placed the Sun and Moon

Association in danger. Shut up.

Hold on.

Father, why are you helping strangers?

Don't be stupid. We're all in this

together, aren't we?

What I find strange, though, is how do

you become a chief escort of the chick?I

did that to be a spy. For so

many years, you must have had plenty of

chances to kill him. But I had to be

patient. The country comes

first. That's enough talk.

You're just scared of being killed.

That's why you didn't dare take your

revenge. All right, you. All

right. Don't be crazy. Hung's an expert

at Kung Fu. If you're

afraid, I'll go fight him along. I'm

not afraid. I'll die if I have to.

All right. Don't stop him.

He's my brother. I can't just stand by

and see him get killed. But you can't.

Don't get all the men ready, but I'm on

alert.

So it's you, Ting Kong Lang.

You all right?

I've been waiting for you for a whole day

now.

Where are the others?Pass at home.

You're going to

die.

There's no ambush, just the two

of you. I can handle you too easily,

Ting Kung Lang. You dare betray me?

Bastard who?You murdered our father in

cold blood. Now you got to pay for it.

So you are the sons of Tin Yi Fei. That's

right. All right. I'm

going to finish you both off today. Go to

hell.

Well,

brother, it's been 20 years. How do you

do?My Gung Fu has not

improved since then, like yours

has because of my Gung Fu. I've been

promoted to a very high position.

Shameless bastard you running

dog. To each his own.

But I will make you eat those

words. Uncle, let's all

get him together.

Hey. HeyHeyHeyHey

HeyHeyHeyHa.

Ha. Nephew's go. Uncle, if you don't go.

You won't be able to take revenge later.

All right, let's go.

I'm late, Sir. Half of them. Yes.

Take my way now.

Master, let's go.

Brother, let's practice our Kung Fu,

right?

I have been summoned to the capital

to see the king to

discuss how to kill the rebels.

Congratulations. That is good news.

Umm If we succeed in putting the rebels

down. I will be promoted

again. When are you going to leave

for the capital?

Well,

I would like to go to the temple 1st

and say my prayers. It's an

important journey.

Father Hung's Kung Fu is very skillful.

Even Uncle Han can't beat him.

Must be he has a secret. He

uses a finger fist. It's hard to

fight him. Doesn't he have any weak place?

Yes. He has developed a

habit when he's jumping up of turning

left and his hand.

He's turned right and he's left exposed.

Oh, a left hand,

but the right fingers.

Pull it. Leave them to me.

That home is too tricky. He's an old fox.

We have to practice hide. Think of a way

to get him.

But you're not healed yet. I can't worry

about that. I have no time

left.

Raster.

The Sun and Moon fighters

have dared to offend me and

tried to kill me.

You ordered us to come here. We're

honored to be asked to fight for you. We

will look after them.

That's right. We can handle these rebels.

It'll be no problem at all. I don't think

they're going to be any match for us at

all, right?

I'll start on my journey to

see the king

move in the troops. Kill the

rebels. King

Sam. Yes, Sir. Get ready. I go

tomorrow, Sir.

Really. Hong started moving.

What's that?I said. Hong started

his journey.

Brother, what should we do?We've got

thought of a way to defeat him. No time

left now.

One of us will have to give up his life.

Brother. All right. Go.

Defeat the king.

Snake crane.

You mustn't be too sad. He

felt well. And he died for his country.

Come on, get up. You must continue your

brother's work helping our country.

Mogon Sham was killed. The secret

nameless was saved, and the people were

stirred into rebellion against their

tyrannical rulers. The Ching dynasty

was not destined to last long.
