Abbot. Abbot.

Gather in front of the temple at noon. I

have an announcement to make. Yes,

sir. Attention, brothers. Please gather

in front of the temple at noon. The Abbot

has an announcement to make. Right.

Buddha bless you. Buddha bless you.

The martial arts are well known. There

are some of the best in China, but our

reputation comes through hard work,

so we mustn't be too full of ourselves.

And now, through hard work, our external

student Fong Siyu has just completed the

famous 2 Finger Strike.

Thank you. Thank you.

See you. It took you a long time to

master that skill. I hope that you'll use

it to do good. Yes, teacher.

I didn't know you were coming. Please

forgive me, Sir. Are you going

to kneel down and show your respect?

Sir, please forgive me, Sir.

Yes, you're forgiven. I'm not that

small-minded.

Rise. Thank

you, Sir. My Lord, is there

anything that you want me to do here?

The Emperor believes that

Shaolin is expanding too fast. They

may cause trouble here.

All right, what shall I do?

He thinks the Shaolin monks are all

rebels. They must be cleaned out,

but you'll have to leave the court right

out of it.

But

don't worry about that.

I believe there has always been conflict

between different martial

schools.

Different Marshall schools.

Forgive me, Your Excellency. They just

told me you'd arrived. Hey, that's quite

all right. I have something to discuss

with you now.

Everybody stop practice now.

Yes, Sir.

Please. The court would like your

people to assist us to get the

rebel. Fancy you. Huh

But his teacher. And myself are close

friends. This is very difficult. I don't

think I can do this for you.

So you disobey an order.

I only obey our Supreme Lord.

You bastard

Enough. You won't beat him. He'll only

make a fool of you. Stand back at once.

Yes, Excellency. Your Kung Fu

is really very good. I give you my

compliments. Thank you. Thank you.

Here is 10,000 tails of silver.

You know, you don't have to take care of

this yourself,

fools. I have no choice but

to close your place down. Let's go.

Wait. I can

only help you in secret, Sir. You must

tell no one about this at all.

When this is over, you will get more

money. Good.

It's a deal, then. This is a figure of

thanks to you, the boxer.

yeah Hey, what are you doing?

You really face you?Stand aside.

Annoying you!

Let's go.

Wait. Yes, Sir.

Thanks to you. I'll get you one of these

days.

Thank you. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank

you very much. Thank you. Brother, I

heard thanks to you is in Canton. Be

quiet. Just eat.

Here, Sir. Table over here. Yes. Sit

down. Thank you. Yes. There you go. There

you are. What would you like now, Sir?Eh

One roast chicken. 10 bread rolls

and a bowl of beef noodles. Oh, right.

How many are there of you, Sir?Just me.

Oh, right. One roast. Yeah.

And some wine. Oh, right. Hey, he must

have starved since he was born. Susie.

Thank he is. Hey. Hey, here we

are. We'll

get him this time, OK?Right.

Hey, coming, coming, coming. Whoa.

Brother, that's some kung fu you have. I

guess you must be from a good school.

Shaolin Temple is a good school. Shaolin

Temple. It's going to see you. Get

in! You must wait for Wai Kin. You'll

never beat Dragon Head. Uh,

Gentlemen. Hey. Mr. Wool,

we're nice to you, and now you think you

can step on our toes. I'm sorry. I don't

know what you're saying. Just listen.

Tomorrow, you're not joining in that

parade. We'll fight them! Come on!

Stop fighting! Stop!

Stop fighting! Stop! Stop it!

You people are looking for trouble.

Wow. You look real pretty when you're

angry.

The Tai Chi style.

All right, let them go. Let them go.

Uncle, whoa. We can't let him get away

with this. They'll think we're cowards.

We can't act like cowards.

You must have patience. I think we'll

discuss this with Wai Kim when he gets

back.

Enough of this. Everybody practice.

Everybody go and practice, come on.

Come

on

claw.

Oh, I can live back here. He's

just another fool. Come on.

Hey, look who's here. It's Brother White

Kim. Hey,

hey, Brother White Kim.

Brother's back. Oh, good.

Hello, brother. Hi. Hey, good to see you

again. Hi, Ken. Brother. Uncle.

It's been many years. I'm glad you're

back now. Me too.

So how is everybody?

We've had some problems. Now that you're

back, you can take charge of everything

here. Hey, uncle. What's this all about,

then?Brother, you don't understand.

While you were gone, we had a lot of

trouble with Dragon Head. Oh, Dragon

Head. Now tell me, were you able to

learn any special Kung Fu at Shaolin

Temple?Not so special.

What's that?You. Hey,

Uncle, why do you attack me?Just your

fight.

Hey, why Kanan?That was good Kung Fu. Why

didn't you tell me earlier?That is Chi

Kung. HuhChi Kung. Brother, I

hear Fang CU's learn a two finger strike.

What's so special about his two finger

strike?My Chi Kung is more powerful.

Hey, Wanky, come with

me. Knew down here.

Now tell me, who killed your father?

Dragon head. And who robbed us and took

the family property?

Dragon head. Why do you go to Shaolin to

learn Kung Fu?Huh

To move my body. Be

serious, boy.

To get revenge. Right. We

want revenge. We're behind revenge.

We want revenge. We want revenge.

We want revenge. We'll go.

Swift Sir. Reward,

Sir.

Stop.

Thank you, Sir.

Dragon head,

you must weed out the roots. Yes, Sir.

Who's that pretty-looking girl there?Oh,

the Tolman is Ruai Zed, the other is

Wuhan Zed. Very

nice, very nice. You know they're famous

for their styles,

No dragon had to take care of it. Oh,

not another one.

Ladies and gentlemen, my dear colleagues,

now the purpose of the Lion Dance every

year is to raise interest. martial arts.

I sincerely hope that all of you

will put aside your prejudice and work

together to promote martial arts. This

year we've raised all of the prizes, so

good luck to you. You see that?

You're required to take the green

vegetable without breaking the wine

jar. All right, the contest

begins.

Come on, let

me go. No, I'll go myself.

Go.

HuhAre you hurt?I'm all right.

And Jen, are you all right?I'm all right.

Mikey, we'll try again.

Fancy you.

Let's go. Tell

Dragon about that. Yes.

Here.

yeah

Hit me! Go on! Hit

me! Let's go!

Go on, get out of here.

My friend, you're not in his league.

Who are you?I'm Liu Taipang. I'm

Dragonhead. Go

after him. I'll get them eventually. They

won't get away.

Let's talk. All

right. Come, come

We finally gained some face and restored

our reputation. Take a seat. Thank you.

Now, young men, this is for you. Come.

Come get up.

Listen, friends, to my tale. This is the

story of a victory. All good over all

evil. Lion dancing can. Time to

celebrate the coming of a good harvest.

But a villain came to disturb their

peace. This man called himself Jackhead.

He controlled gambling, dens and

brothels. He was a dangerous threat to

the people. He took over a factory reed

by force and killed them, masterMarshall

School, whose son went to study at

Shaolin and swore to come back to get his

revenge. At last the young master

returned amid the sounds of guns in

Canton. The golden lions blaved their

tales and paid respects to their

ancestors.

Just when they were about to get the

prize, an arrow shot threw the air and

hit the young mistress. Dragon Head was

very pleased to see this, as he thought

now he would get the prize. But the gods

sent help down from heaven. Two-finger

strike made a hole in the jar. Dragon

Head was angry and started a fight, but

Bangsi, you beat them all off. Shaolin

Kung Fu is number one. Dragon Head is now

a little worm. Everybody gave their three

cheers for the winner, and a peace was

held to celebrate.

Good. Let's celebrate. Celebrate. I'm

really very happy today. Although I'm old

and injured, let me say something to this

party. As long as our school banner

flies, we'll teach Dragon Head a lesson.

Right. As long as our school banner

flies, we'll drive Dragon Head out of the

town. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Now let's

ask Brother Fung to demonstrate his

two-finger strike. Come on.

Don't be shy. Come on. That's

it. Come on. Come on

Is

it good?Great.

Really something, huhYeah, of course.

Need some Shaolin Temple.

I can't, stop it. You know what, go on,

go on. That's really good,

isn't

it?

Yeah.

Look at him, Sis. Lu Taipang's praying

mender style looks really impressive.

Naturally, he's a Wu Tang student.

If he's not good, he wouldn't have

challenged Frank Siyu. Brother, I'd like

to remind you. What now?He wants to get

revenge, and that's his own business. We

mustn't get ourselves involved. I

think you should. We're going to leave

right away. We have no reason

to go against Fangsiu. Don't you agree?

That's nonsense. Fangsiu doesn't scare me

a bit. Besides, he's a friend of Wu Wai

Kin, so that makes him our enemy as well.

Excuse me, the commissioner's here.

My respects, Sir. Dragon head.

How are things going with that little job

I gave you?Which

one do you mean, Your Excellency?

You forgot?How could you forget?I

haven't, Sir. I haven't, Sir. Don't

worry. I've discussed this with Lu

Taipang. We'll fix it as soon as

possible. Oh, please, Sir.

Oh, Lu's over there practicing.

Come

on.

So, he's Lu Taipan.

His kung fu's very good. The reason he

came to Canton was to go up the fangs to

you for revenge. Good.

umm That's

good. He's crazy. How can you get

the commissioners?The commissioners just

try him out.

Brother, you must drop them. They might

hurt each other. You keep out of this.

The mantis style is really as good as

they say.

Who are you?Chang Bill.

I'll introduce you. This is the

Commissioner. Chang Bill. He's Lu

Taipang, nicknamed Iron Mantis. I'm

glad that you are an outside.

Please.

Don't forget that girl. Go and fix it

now. Yes, Sir.

Good morning, uncle. Oh, morning,morning.

Go on.

Hey, what happened?What happened?Mister's

been injured. It's nothing. You should be

more careful. It's all right now. Come

on, everybody. Practice. Carry on, carry

on. He's

spitting palm. What's spitting palm?

Brother Sender, where is he?Nothing

temple, come on.

That sound reminds me of the first time

we arrived at Shaolin Temple. You were

very young then, but a troublemaker. I

remember you cried a lot too. I did not.

Brother Sanders.

Brother Sanders, when did you get back

here?Just now. I was asking you,

when did you two come back to Canton?

Yesterday. I see it yesterday. And you

come to see me today. And why not?You're

our senior brother now. It's our duty to

come and pay our respects to you, right?

You're extremely nice to me. I think you

must be after something. Hey,

you're right, brother. We want to find

out about a long lost style. The spinning

palm. The spinning palm.

Tell me, has it reappeared again recently?

No. We just want to know more about this

mythical style. All right, come with

me.

Mm-hmmHot! Hot!

Hot!

Brother Senator, how's Teacher these days?

He's fine. You know, he's always managed

to stay in good health. Huh

All right, brothers.

The spinning palm is one of the greatest

styles in Shaolin Temple, but still, as

far as I know, it's been lost

for over a century now. Why is that?

Is it hard to learn?To tell you the

truth, even our teacher failed to

master the style.

Do you see that?The higher it goes, the

heavier it falls. Ah, but

what's that got to do with the spinning

palm?

Huh

The idea is one must concentrate his

power into his palm, and

then combine that power with the pressure

of falling. Therefore, one has to be an

expert in body weight control in order to

do this. Perhaps Brother CU,

with his experience, will be able to

learn it.

Write it down quickly. Ohh

Use the force of gravity. Body is the

axis. Palm is the all.

And hold on. What does it mean by the

palm is the all?I understand it. Oh,

really?So fast. Thank you,

brother. Let's go.

Buddha bless you. Buddha

bless you. The pair of you.

What's the date?It's a firework festival.

Fireworks. I thought it was a Lily

Lantern day. Lily Lantern.

Hey, brother, how about a dragonfly on

the water?What do you say?Hey, forget it.

Come on. Let's use faster.

Start now.

Brother, you're fast. Hey, your weight

control is really good, too. Let's go see

the lanterns.

Mistress, look at this. It's so busy.

Mistress, you don't often come to Canton.

This time you must stay a few more days.

I dropped into Canton to see you. I have

urgent business in your nan, but thank

you for your kindness. I shall come

again. Good. Please.

Come on, let's go.

Pure jade. Pure jade.

Very young, but looks quite old.

Hides in the daytime. Hey, stop looking

at the puzzles. Let's go look at the

lantern. Hey.

Interesting.

What are you doing?Let go of my hand.

What's that?She's holding my hand. Look,

I'm not holding hers.

Thank

you, Sir. I told you not to wander up

on your own.

What's happening?That dragon head is up

to no good again. Teacher,

I've got something to do. I must go. Come

to you now if you need my help.

Let go of me.

Hurry. Let

me go. Hey, heyHuhWhy

didn't you get down here?I

lost your sister. Stop kidding me.

It's true. She's been kidnapped. Who dare

kidnap her with you there?It's true.

She's gone.

Hey, must be Dragonhead. Come on, we'll

go see it. Wait. We got no evidence.

Right. You wait at the gate. I'll get my

ninja gear. All right,

brother. HmmBe very alert

tonight, all right?Let's go. Let's go.

Come on.

You two stay here. Right. You two over

there. Right. And be careful. Right.

Did you find her?No. Where can she be?

I've no idea.

Where are they going so late?They

must be up to something. Right.

We better stay put. Right.

You bunch of idiots. Get up. Get

up. You fell asleep.

Take her out. Right.

Come on. Move. Come on.

Quickly. Move it.

Hey, Dragonhead, where are you taking the

girl to?To the bamboo Grove. Why'd you

want to do that?Fancy you will come here,

but he won't find the girl. Our men will

be waiting instead. That's right.

You're very clever. I hope thanks that

you will turn up here as soon aspossible.

Dragon head. Your plan worked, and it

looks like we have a big catch here.

Fetch the torch. Yes, Sir.

Fancy you. You deserve to die.

You killed my brother, so you ought to

pay with your life. Now that seems fair,

doesn't it?You're a coward

use, underhand methods!

That's so. Light the fire. Yes, yes,

sir!

Burn him alive! Yes, sir!

Where does this mask man come from?He's

ruined the whole thing. Yeah, and it

looks like a woman. A woman.

And I think she looks like you, my

sister. It's hard to tell.

But she looks like it. Let's

go.

Brother, open the sack. Someone's coming.

It's

new.

Mother. So it's you. When did you get to

Canton?You still have no patience. You

must be careful. This is a wild world. I

don't want anything to happen to you.

Hey, this is another girl. It's not Wai

Jen. Dragonhead is really cunning. It's

strange. I don't understand. I definitely

saw them taking Wai Jen into that Grove.

I swear I saw it. They

must have exchanged her for another girl

on the way.

Those bastards let's go back. We can't.

They may try to harm your sister. The

best way to do this is to divert them.

Right. The factory. Let's attack the

factory. Let's do it.

I want to look at your shoes.

Tell me, what's your reason?Take themoff.

Here, have a good look. I

didn't go beyond that door last night. I

was here all night.

Who are you?You've got guts to cause

trouble in Dragonhead's place.

I'm thanks to you. I'm Wu Aikin.

Stand back.

Oh, hello, Mr. Wu.

You turned over this factory to

Dragonhead many years ago. Now are you

trying to get it back?Be quiet. Tell

Dragonhead to get out of here. I'm sorry.

This is private property. You're not

welcome. Please.

You. What do you want?

I'm just trying to teach you some

manners. You need it. close it

all.

They want to fight.

I've killed from CU. I've killed from

CU.

Let's go,

Mother. I looked everywhere. I couldn't

find White Jen. Where can she be?

Let's go.

Master. Bad news. What's happened?The

factory's been attacked. What do you say?

They were eaten up. Right. Get going.

Right. Hey,

this is quite serious. Inform the

Commissioner. Let's

go.

I see. So my beauty is still safe in your

place. Then why don't you bring her over

here to me?Yes, Sir. I'll go do that at

once. Wait a minute.

You must reconsider this, Sir. Why is

that?Apparently they got help from

elsewhere. They won't give up looking for

the girl. And if they find the girl here,

it would be a very bad thing for your

reputation. Hmm

So why don't we clear the way first, and

then you can enjoy the girl?Huh

All right. What shall I do?You

have practiced the golden formation for a

very long time now. I guess this is a

chance for you to check out its power.

I understand you're going to use the

girl as bait to lure them into a trap,

right?Right

Well, they are very suspicious, so

how do we go about it?

Sir, you can tell Dragonhead to charge

them to a duel. They don't want to be

called cowards. They'll certainly come.

Now then, Lutai Peng, you

want your revenge?Sure.

I'll leave funky you to you. If

you beat him and his two fingers strike,

you'll become a very famous

man. A really?

I've made a plan that'll get rid of all

of them. Swift. Sir, fetch some wine.

Yes, Sir. Please sit down.

There.

Look at this. Dragonet challenges. What

do we do?

Who's this Iron Mantis?The Iron Mantis?

Oh, he's trying to lose brother LuTaipan.

I'll accept this challenge. Let's go.

I think we'd better go and discuss this

with Brother Sander first. See what he

thinks about it.

The White Gorge is a sacred area to

priests by me. We mustn't cause any

disturbance there. But

still, my sister's life depends on us.

It's a trap set by the commissioner. He

wants us monks to fight among ourselves.

You see, the cults always wanted to

disband us. Uh, but we can't just

stand here and do nothing. Wyjen's life

is at stake. That's right. She's the only

one I have. I must get her out of there.

Well. All right. You go

there, then. I'll come later with our

other men. I'll try and do my best for

you. Thank you, brother.

Buddha, bless you.

Brother. HuhMom and sender.

Hey, hey

Brother, you're too impulsive. Hey,

look at that.

What is it?

What's his formation?Let's be careful.

A man should fear no evil. Don't be

scared. Hey, it's changing.

Those damn priests. They're trying to

copy us. They're making formations as

well. Would bless you. This is the

golden formation. It's very dangerous.

Brother, judging by the way you're

dressed, you came prepared, didn't you?

Don't tell me you're afraid of it now. Be

quiet. Don't underestimate it. I need

to watch it carefully to find a way to

break it. Uh-huh

Let's go. No. Let's watch it some

more before making our move.

Attack.

Captain, the

Tai

Chi, full nation.

There's no escape from the binding light.

That's right. That's right. Go!

We'll beat the bastardsCome on.

The Walls of Man!

Good evening, girl!

Ohh

changing universe!

See you, we are the roots of

evil. All roots of evil

emerge from men's minds. So

remember, Buddha says,

if you let nothing worry you, then

nothing can worry you.

I'll deal with that. All

right.

Talk to you. You're a brave man. I didn't

think you'd come.

Yes, I've come. But you're not a

man. You're a goddamn coward. What'd you

say?HuhYou challenged

me to a duel and then set up an ambush

for me to walk into. Ambush.

How could you kidnap a girl to blackmail

me?You play dirty.

Play dirty?But winning is the name of

this game. You are gonna die.

Right. I'm gonna tear every piece of skin

off of you. To see what

animal you are.

Liu Taifeng, where's Waijin?If

you manage to defeat me, I promise you

she won't be harmed. Right. Then let's

get on with it.

Stop. I don't want to fight anymore. What

now?You scared?I have something to say.

Well, say it, but not to you.

Dragonhead! You bastard

You murdered your father. Now you want to

kill me as well. You

son of a bitchYou don't

deny it. You told me that yourself.

That's right. It was me who killed the

old fool. So what?Anyway, it was just a

stepfather. He's my sister's father, but

she doesn't know that. Anyway, it's not

your business. Thanks. He wants to kill

you too, so you might as well die

together.

Dragonhead, you murderer.

You're a bunch of animals. You're all

murderers. You be careful what you say.

Shut up. I'll kill you.

Dragonhead. So you

killed my father?

Thanks for your help. Never mind.

You and I will meet again.

Do

you understand why I had to kill him?

I understand.

There is no more feud between our two

families.

That's very good. We were both the

victims.

Dad, I've finally taken revenge for you.

Jang Bill!

Jang Bill!

Jang Bill!Dang Bill!

Ah

I never thought I'd see a court official

who was acting like a villain. Get ready.

Yes, sir.

You bastardHaven't you any principles?

Those who think of those things now

are all fools.

He's

a fool. Fengxi, you. If you think you

have principles, you should help that

poor girl. What do you

want?Of one condition.

And what's that?I want

you to cut off your two fingers.

What did you say?The no finger strike.

You son of a bitchBugsy

you. Don't you try anything stupid.

Look at that.

Cut them off.

See you. Don't do it. I'd rather

die. You mustn't do it. See, you

don't. Don't see you.

No wonder people say women are men's

trouble.

Get them.

Oh, help me.

Get the roll.

Hey.

Brother.

Aunt Ben. Thank God we pulled

through this. It's

Uncle Darl. See you. I'd

better stay away with White Ken and White

Jen.

Thanks to you. Pace's deepest respects.

I'm surprised you have any respect for

me. Or is making a bloodbath out of my

sacred ground your way of showing it?

I wouldn't dare.

Young man, don't tell me

lies. You have to pay for

what you've done. Let me explain. It was

because I had to. You're quiet.

Gisan, come out here.

Big brother. It's been a long time.

Boda bless you.

Your student, Fang Siu, has desecrated my

sacred ground. And as you're his teacher,

what do you think we should do about it?

Hoda bless you.

I respected you as my senior, but you

have no ears for reason. I'm

disappointed. Just do with me what you

will. Siu.

Good.

God bless you, brother.

You shouldn't bother to fight with these

juniors. All right,

then you can fight in his place.

Teacher! Teacher!

Teacher!

Sister. Buddha bless

you. Buddha is merciful.

See you. You are too willful.

He injured my teacher. I can't let him

get away with that.

You mustn't hold grudges like this.

Sister, I must teach him a lesson. Leave

it. See you. Come and apologize to

your uncle now.

I'm sorry. See you. You must come back

with me to your nut.

Boda bless.

Get them!

Stop

it. Now, if you insist,

I suggest you stop within 10 strokes.

All right, then you may

start.

Uncle, please.

Please

Buddha bless you.

Buddha bless you. Buddha bless

you.
