Hey, that's wonderful.

Oh, very good, master.

Wonderful, wonderful master. Really

excellent master. Have you all

seen that?Teacher, what style was

that?The double finger

strike. Oh, the double finger strike. I

know that Shaolin has the one finger

strike, but double finger strike?

Teacher, was that style invented at

Shaolin Temple?That's right.

This was invented by a

student from Fujian. His name

is Fong Siyu.

Bow to heaven.

Bow to earth.

This child will enjoy a very long life.

Well, planned time for a moment.

It's windy out here. He may catch.

Yeah.

Now, Madam, what are you going to call it?

Yes, it's called seal.

I want 500 silver pieces.

Master. What is it now?What's going on

now?Master.

Master. Master.

Master.

So what's happened?Master.

Master. Master. A priest and his student

are at the door. They're asking for

money. Oh, so go to the clerk for some

money. Oh, no, Sir. He wants

5. No,

sir. He wants 500 silver pieces.

What?500.

What does the priest look like?He's

hard to describe, Master. You better come

have a look now. All right. I'll go with

you. No, you stay here. Look after the

lady, huhLet's go.

It's just blackmail. 500 silver pieces. A

lot of money.

Master.

Wait.

My God.

Please tell me, Sir. What do you want

here?Well, now, my student Ray Hong and I

were just passing through, and we heard

that it was your son's birthday today. So

we came to congratulate you, and I hope

you'll give generously.

Is that so?For any charity,

we give what we want. Yet you demand a

large sum and also threaten us. You don't

scare me. So, Madam, you're also a

martial artist. I'd like to see just what

you can do.

That stone drum is broken now, but

just one drum will look strange,

so I'll break this too.

So I see it's the Shaolin King Kong Pong,

but my student will take care of you

easily. Go on, Ray.

Hey now. KPOJ! No

dollars!

Now you remember, this is fast.

Be careful.

Take it easy,

Mistress.

But you're just an old nun.

That's too bad, cause I'm not interested

in you at all. You're just

garbage. I'll get rid of you.

Come on.

Huh

Buddha bless you. Dear Jade. Pure

Jade. One must always forgive.

He's badly wounded. He won't be back here

again. Just let him go.

Get out of here.

You goddamn bitchYour son will die. You

mark my words. I'll make sure of that.

Let's go.

He means what he says. I'll teach you a

way to protect CU before I leave.

Oh, thank you, teacher.

This is to build up his resistance to

blows and bruises. Firstly,

remember the characteristics of these

different kinds of herbs. You must

boil them for a certain time before

using. Also, as the

child is still young, it's impossible to

train his whole body, so we'll do it by

stages.

Firstly, tie his hands and feet up with

bandages, not too loose and not

too tight. Then dip

him in the medicinal water for an hour

every day and gradually prolong it

till he's four or five years old.

After several years of this, his body

will sustain any kind of blows,

but I suggest you send him to Shaolin

Temple anyway to learn Kung Fu

from Master Wisdom. I'll tell

Master Wisdom to expect him.

Hey.

HeyAll right, all rightThat's enough.

Let him have a rest.

See, you're still young. Don't be so hard

on him. Don't you worry. Your dear

son is a gift for martial arts.

Stop when you're tired, huh

Master Fat, do you like it?I do very

much. Oh,

this is the newest pattern from Sochal.

The quality is very good.

Really. Very nice. Well, now, Sir,

do you like?Oh, I see.

Right. Right.

I'll be your prize. Thank you, Sir. Thank

you. Where see you?What now?

You want him to practice again?No,

I just want him to try this on.

Akwai. Akwai.

Madam, what's the matter?Where's he you?

He's just gone out. Where's he gone to?A

priest was here asking for your teacher,

so the young master... A priest?

You want Mistress Wu Mei?

That's right. I came here especially to

see the old nun. But she's already

gone to the nun.

What's her relationship to you?Well,

she's my mother's teacher.

Then tell me your name. Fong

Siyu, sir.

I see. So the old bitch is out.

But the young one will do. It's all the

same. What did you say?

I told you before that

your son will die. Didn't I remember?

Well, your son is dying right now.

Are you all right?Are you all right?My

body is strong. He can't hurt me.

Yes. See, I'm fine.

Don't worry. That was nothing.

You feel all right?A little

pain. Tell me, CU.

Does he hurt bad?Oh, it's gone now. We

better get him a doctor. Ak-wai, go on.

Yes, master. Is it still painful?

Am I right, Dad?It's your fault. You

want him to practice every day?If not,

he'd be inside studying. If it hadn't

been for that, he'd have been killed just

now. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of

that priest.

I've decided. We'll send Siu to Shaolin

Temple. Huh

What's that?Become a monk?

I won't go. No,

my son. You just go there to learn

Shaolin Kung Fu. Huh

Husband, what do you think?

Fine. It's good that he

hides for a while. What do you mean by

that?All right, I'll go and learn Kung

Fu.

That was fun.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm screaming.

Where's he from?

Hey, let me go.

Dragon steps. Whoa.

Mother!

Please let him go, Master.

My son Siyu is still young. Please

forgive him, Sir. Oh,

so this is Siyu.

Many years ago, your teacher did ask me

to teach this boy Kung Fu.

Please tell me, how is she now?Oh,

she's gone back to you now. Oh,

have you ever learned Kung Fu?I have.

I've learned self-protection.

Good. GoodCome on now, back to

your teacher. One moment.

You must pass the test before you're

admitted. A test.

That's right. That's the rule here.

So try me.

Sound the bell and the drum.

Please go ahead. It looks fun.

I passed the test.

Bless you. Bless you,

Madam. Please. Thanks,

brother. You go and show this

brother to his bed. Yes. Thank you,

brother. Please.

I'll be back very soon, so don't fool

around, ehOf course.

I'm Wu. First name Wai Kin.

That's Wu Wai Kin. Tell me, brother,

what's yours?I'm Ping. See you. Oh,

you're right today. Yes. I came to learn

Kung Fu. Oh, yeah?Is a Kung Fu any good

here?Of course. Come with

me.

Wow. These people.

What are they?Why are they?

Brother. Do you find it strange?

Yes. I'll explain to you.

There are five classes of beds. First

class is a piece of board so one won't

fall off. Second class

is a piece of bamboo. Third class is

sleeping against the wall. 4th class is a

robe. 5th class is sleeping between 2

benches. But how can they sleep?

You can't, but they can't.

You'll learn to do that soon. And

what class are you?Me?I'm a

man. First class, of course. Ohh You're

first class, too. Ohh

What are you doing?You little bastardI

know you curse at me. Come

on. Come here, you little swine. I'll

catch you, teacher. Come back here. I'll

get a hold of you. Come on.

I'll show

you.

One more.

Stop. What's this fighting about?He just

started to pick on me. I was practicing

and he came and missed me. Shut up. Let's

go and see the Abbot. Oh.

Buddha bless you,

bless you, bless you

being a teacher.

Involves teaching your

students morals.

Kung Fu is to build your

body, but not for fighting.

So I hope you'll observe these

regulations.

Are you all here?Yes,

Sir. One should not commit

any murder. Any stealing,

no drinking and no lying.

As this is the first time they've

broken the rules, Bright

Moon. Yes, they'll be

let off. Yes,

the Abbot is merciful to both of you.

Go now.

See you

habit. You stay here. Yes.

Although you were just defending

yourself, you must still

remember always to respect your

elders. You understand?Yes, Sir.

I know your foundation's good

and you've learned self-protection.

You've improved fast. From

tomorrow you can

start cooking in the kitchen.

HuhCooking.

Now then, you go outside and observe your

brother's practice. If you have any

questions, go and ask Master Bright

Moon.

Yes.

Mother, what did they ever say to you?

He told me to work in the kitchen. What?

Really?Yeah, you're very lucky.

Okay, okayCome on, come on

Be careful. Now give it a good stir.

That's enough. Put the lid on. You can

come down now.

See you. Is this too hard?No,

brother. But I don't know whether I

should ask you something or not. Go

ahead. Why did I have to hang upside

down?But that's also practice.

Is that so?That's right. Everything

we do here is boiled down to practice.

Our ancestor did say that one could

create Kung Fu out of any kind of

movement at all. The saying

goes, nothing is impossible.

If one really works hard, understand?Oh,

right.

Huh

oh Wow. Brother.

What kind of kung fu is that?The double

finger strike?Never heard of it.

Look at that. That's incredible.

I never heard of that. There is only a

one finger strike, so he's talking

rubbish. Come on, Brandon.

Brandon, say come quickly. Brandon,

help. HelpHelp

me. Oh no.

Psss.

Psss.

Miss, the snake is dead. Why are you

crying?This

bowl of rice was for my grandfather,

and now I've broken it. He's nothing to

eat, young lady.

Where is he now?He's cutting grass

to make money. What's that?

He can sell grass?If we're lucky, it'll

fetch in a few pounds of rice.

How old is he?70 years

old.

Young lady, where do you live?We're

living in a hut by the hill.

Thank you, sir.

All are destined to die as

time goes on. As for a

fish taken from the water,

time's a feeding thing, so

just work hard. Cherish each

moment, show to your burden.

Useless thoughts demean the spirit,

strive for purity, entertain

Nirvana. Hmm

I want to pee. Go on.

White flower?White flower?

White flower?Remember me?

It's you.

I brought some rice for your granddad.

Here. I have to go.

My flour?

What's going on?Granddad,

this is for you. Oh?

Oh. But it's rice.

Sorry I'm late. I had to finish my work.

Granddad hasn't been to work for two

days. Will you give him these buns now?

Thank you.

HuhHe's

sleeping. Well,

don't wake him up then. I'll go now.

Hey, where are you going?Brother, you're

doing very well, huh

Now I understand. So you come here every

day to see this young lady. Brother,

you're very smart. Hey, so you

found a girlfriend real quick, huhHey,

brothers, brothers, come on. It's not

what you think. That's not it at all.

Not true.

We've seen it ourselves. You stole food

from the temple for this girl. You're

guilty of theft. Nonsense. That's

not true. But we witnessed it. You

can't deny it. Come on, we're going to

the Abbot. Brother! I thought you were

joking with him. Why are you so serious?

Hmm, joking?Are you tugging his side?

Come on! Don't push me!

What?Are you looking for a fight, then?

Brothers, let's calm down. Let's go see

the Abbot about this. All right, let's

go! Move!

White Flower?Yes, Granddad?

See you. Tell me, is that true?

No. You?Hey.

You mean they accuse you wrongly?

HmmThey are all your senior brothers, and

they did witness it, that you have

committed theft and have a girl.

I stole nothing. And there's nothing

between that girl and me.

How dare you?Kneel down.

Our Shaolin Temple has a good name.

We don't allow our students to ruin our

reputation. I report you to the

abbot. You will be punished.

No, I won't, because I've done nothing

wrong. I know you've never liked me,

so I'll leave. I'll leave right now. Hey,

brother, dear heart.

Go and fetch the abbot at once. Right.

Master, please wait. Come on. Come on

Master, I beg you, please don't

punish this young master. He's a

very good young man. And who are you?

My name is Foam. I live nearby

here. I'm over 70 years

old. Get up. Stand up now

and we'll talk. Yes,

yesShe is White Flower, my

granddaughter. There are

only the two of us and I

go and cut grass. We just

make enough to eat.

Lately I've fallen ill due to

my age and I can't work.

And we nearly starved to death.

But thanks to young Master Fang,

he's brought us some rice and some buns

to us every day, or I'd have been

dead, Sir, long ago.

Frankly, I don't care if I die,

but Master Fang is really a very kind

man. He is innocent of this

crime, and I'd feel guilty

if we didn't speak. That's why I

make the journey to come here and speak

for him, despite what you might do.

Master Fang is not only a kind, but a

very honorable young man. He's

not the kind of man you say he is.

I'm sure the merciful Buddha would bless

a man like him, Sir.

Did you hear that?Brother didn't eat his

dinner, but he kept it and took it to

them. Buddha bless you.

Bless you. Bless you.

I've already heard everything that

this old gentleman said.

The monks should always be merciful.

He will be dealt with justly. Don't

worry. Hey, thank you. Thank you.

So, Abbot, what will we do?

Abbot, it's my fault. I'd cause

this. Abbot.

Abbot, Brother Fang is going to leave.

What should we do?As you cause

this, you'd better solve the problem

yourself. Yes,

that's all. Now you may leave. Yes.

Come with me.

Come on, I'll order the kitchen to

send rice to you every day. Oh, thank

you, Sir. Thank you.

Don't go. What do you want?

You can't leave here. You can't stop me.

I want to apologize to

you. What's that?Don't kid

me. Hey, hold it.

HuhSo do you want to fight?

We want to fight too.

I'm not scared of you.

You haven't completed your studies.

If you leave now, your disgrace shall in

temple. No use in saying that.

Then you have to

take three presents from all of us.

Presents.

What's the meaning of this?One leg.

One hand. And one head.

I don't want them. You don't?You won't

take them?Of course not. Come on.

Come along. HuhCome on,

here. So I see you intend to fight with

me. All right?You can all come at once,

'cause I'm not scared of you. Roxxon, go

ahead.

Mm-hmm

Brother, this is the hand I give you.

Watch carefully. There are three

movements in the style. Pay attention to

each movement and step

right. Go ahead.

You all right?

Brother, I'm sorry. Too hard on you?I'm

all right. Thank you, brother. Could you

show me again?Hey,

brother, you've already had that present.

Good kung fu takes a lot of practice.

Now the second present. Kua Kang?

Yes?

Brother. This movement is called the

Flying Dragon.

Brother, are you OK?I'm fine, brother.

It's it's a fantastic style.

Brother, it's my turn now. If you can't

take it, better stay out of the way. I

understand.

Brother, that was terrific. Of course.

I've been practicing it for three years.

Do you want to learn it?

Habit.

Habit. I know I was wrong.

Please allow me to stay and study a child

in Temple. But bless you.

Look at you. Even at your age,

you're still crazy about practice. No

one to see you doesn't want to come home,

even though it's been three years now. Is

that letter from him?Oh, this

letter's from your teacher.

She says she's going to Han Chao,

and she says she wants to meet. See you

there. Oh,

Abbott, did you want me?You're to fight

the Lohan Formation. Lohan

Formation?Yes.

That's always been your mother's wish.

I wish you the very best of luck. Do your

best, son. And become a

true Shaolin fighter.

Oh, yes, she said in her letter that

she'll wait for you in Hangzhou. I

hope you succeed. I'll do my best,

Sir. Good. You go and

get ready then. Yes.

Mother, wait for me.

The habit is going to let me go with you.

Is that so?Are you confident?Of

course. Right. Let's go. All right, come

on.

You've been here for three years now.

There are no cowards in Shaolin.

You have to try to pass this low hand

formation.

Otherwise, you'll have to go out through

the back door.

Yes, we understand. Thank you, sir.

This formation has got many changes.

Let's break the foundation.

Brother, it doesn't work. Don't worry.

Hey, hey

Don't be scared. Trust in yourself.

Thank you,

brother.

Congratulations, my boy. You've

successfully passed the test.

Has no end of studying,

so work hard and be of sound moral

judgment. Wu

Tang student Lee Parsan has set

up a competition just outside Hangzhou.

He's done this to meet other martial

artists. This'll be a chance for you to

test yourself. Thank you, Abbot. And

Master Brightmoon, I

shall never forget you.

Right. You may go

now. Goodbye,

sir.

Li Pazan's Kung Fu is really good and he

looks so relaxed fighting on those 10

foot high poles and he's defeated a lot

of top martial artists like you, you know

Yeah, in the last few days, nobody's

dared to accept this challenge. I don't

think anybody's good in here. Charlene

Student Fancy You is here. Hey, who's

this Fancy You then?I never heard of him.

Have you?The fight will begin.

Go ahead, young man. You have got

guts.

So you attack from behind?No, that's

nonsense! Hey!

like a stroke.

So you're from Shaolin's Southern Branch.

Help! Keep

me surrounded. Over there, look. Look,

brother. Stop. Don't shoot. Don't

shoot. Don't shoot. Ready for me?Come on!

Brother?Brother!

Hey! Quickly, brother, open the heads!

Come on, now, quick! Come on,

brother!

Mother?Yes?Is that the Loofong

Pagoda?Yes, that's it.

The West Lake is really beautiful, isn't

it?

Over there, that's the Chintag River and

that's the local pagoda up there.

Ah, the Chintong tide.

This still isn't the right time.

It's even more so when the tide's coming

up.

This is the Canton Association. Come on

now. Let's go in.

Let's go.

Come on. What's going on here?

Never mind that. It's not our business.

Let us go inside.

Hey, come in. Take it easy

with them. Come this way. No problem.

Take it easy. Take it easy. Come on. Come

onOh,

Master Fang, when did you arrive?We've

just arrived today, Master Champ. Oh,

how come so many people are injured?Our

villages have been fighting in the

championship and many people have been

hurt. The championship.

Oh, yes, we'll look inside, right?

Those ones are bad. Who's

holding this contest?It's the captain of

the Hangzhou province, Ray Hong. Ray

Hong.

It's him again. Who is it?

You don't know. Mr. Chan,

what has the tribunal done about this?

Nothing. Originally, it was their idea.

HuhHelp me with

it.

Come on. Master, the guest rooms are

ready. Do go in and

and freshen up.

Well, now, ladies and gentlemen,

this contest has now been on for

three days, and more than

10 martial artists have attended so far.

Unfortunately,

up to this moment, nobody

has managed to defeat the host.

Quiet, please, quiet. Now, I

wish to repeat this again.

Anybody at all who can defeat Captain

Ray Hong will get the reward. One

thousand pieces of silver. One thousand

pieces of silver.

Quiet, beast, quiet. We take no

responsibility for any injuries or death

which occurred during the contest. All

right, all rightThe contest is now open.

All are welcome to come up and challenge.

Come forward, please. Please, would you

all come forward one at a time?Thank you.

Did you find CU?No.

Where could he go to?Could he

be?Could he be at the at the contest?

That's right.

Any one of you who would like to

try, please come on the

stage. I'm

sure many more will be injured today. Oh,

no mountain is too high. Just wait and

see. Hey, hey, look, another one. And

what is your name?Douchy you.

Hey, I think that it's very unfair that

you take turns to fight. So what do you

want?I'd like to challenge the host,

Captain Ray Hung. Go on.

Go on. Teach him a lesson.

Come on, get

him on.

Get out of here.

So you want to fight me?Captain

Ray, if you're scared, you can still

back out. You asked for this.

All

right, everybody. The competition is

closed today. Thank you. Brother.

All right. Back up. Back up.

Brother. Brother, you can't die.

Surprise, Brother.

Go back up. Let's go. Damn you,

priest. Huh

I'm fun to see you here to challenge you.

You remember me?Oh,

you were that little baby years ago. You

must be tired of living. Still, it's too

late now. You can come back again

tomorrow morning.

I'll kill you.

You bastardTry to make trouble

here.

Don't worry, he'll manage.

Hey, hey, heyTime is up now. Time is up,

man. Please stop fighting. Come back

tomorrow. You're equal.

Please come back tomorrow.

Please. PleaseUntil

tomorrow.

What do you think you're doing?

Hey, why don't you stop them, you idiot.

Captain, I.

Come on, let's go.

I'm having asked you. Look what

you've done.

I really regret having asked CU to come.

What's the point in moaning?Do you

realize Rayong works for the

tribunal?There'll be trouble now, even if

CU defeats him.

He says Cantonese are hopeless fighters.

He's really asking for it. Can't you

understand?All right, let's cut it out.

Did you hear that Rehong's wife uses

poison darts?They said she attacked this

man from behind today, and he turned

black after he died. She really did that?

Yes, Mother. It's true. I saw it

all myself. That's why I went up to

fight. Just be quiet.

Come on, pack up. We'll leave here at

once. Oh,

Mr. Fang. Oh, Mr. Fang,

your teacher's just arrived. She's

waiting in the West Wing. Oh. Teacher's

here. Let's go to see her now. Please.

Please

Dad. Father-in-law.

When did you get here?

Dad, please stop for a while. We'd like

to talk to you.

Just tell me what it is.

It's like this, Sir. Shaolin's student

has arrived. He's joined in the

competition.

So what does that have to do with me?

We'd like you to come and help us.

What?Dad, I'm afraid

Ray will lose. Please help him.

Huh

I understand this is a government affair.

I'm not interested. Dad.

That's enough. Now go.

Captain Ray, what can we do?

We'll kill that bastard tomorrow.

I have this, if the worst comes to the

worst.

Wow, that's really good.

That'll take care of him. Captain Ray,

congratulations. You will become

famous all over the country.

Please,

Mistress, I want to take CU

back to Canton tomorrow.

No, Dad, I won't go.

see you. They'll kill you, don't you know

that?That's exactly why I want to stay.

They've killed too many people. They're

ruthless. They use poison. They're really

dirty fighters. Someone has to do

something. I can't just walk away from

it. You.

What do you know?

Georgade, what do you think?

I saw them fight today. Raihung is very

good. He's tough. See, you held him at

the beginning. Later, he fell

behind. So, I hope the teacher,

you can help him. How do you want me

to help?I hope you'll...

teach him your Iron Lick style.

I can't. Have you forgotten our

regulations?No, I haven't. But this

is a special case. That's impossible.

Teacher, I remember

you did once promise to teach him Kung

Fu. I did. But this

style iron leg is too dangerous.

That's why it's restricted to girl

students only to avoid

unnecessary killing. I really can't break

the regulations.

Dad. Don't make it difficult for the

teacher. I promise I'll go back to Canton

with you. Ha ha ha. That's

better, my son. That's much better.

Teacher, what's happened?

An assassin. He's passed

up.

They see you. See you. Are you all right?

See you. Why would he come here?

Hey, see you. He's dead.

I'm all right. Why is all this?Now what's

this about?Hey, that was very close.

Lucky I was prepared. Look at this. Huh

Thank you for your instruction, teacher.

He's still young. Please forgive him,

teacher. Oh, this boy is really very

keen. Buddha. Bless him.

Bless him. Bless him.

There he is. There

he is.

BastardI'm gonna kill him right now.

Captain Ray, you mustn't get upset.

That's exactly what he wants. He's

right. You mustn't lose your

concentration.

Thank you.

I'm from to you from Canton,

right?Let's fight then.

Hey, you better get ready.
