All language subtitles for Chinese Stuntman

Hey! You're doing it the

wrong way. Doing it like this?What the

hell?

Hey! What the hell do you call that?

That's not kung fu. God damn it. What do

you know, kidla?

do you want?You see you all crazy?Hey,

what's up?Oh no, you have one or nothing.

Hey, what do you want?I want to

challenge you. What?You know how to fight?

I don't go full in the States, and I know

Chinese, so I came here to let them

move. And you can learn from me. No, you

must beat me first, then I'll learn from

you. All right, it's a fight you want. I

man.

And I don't bite females.

Huh What's so funny?I only bite people my

own size. What?You look past it to

me. I don't think I'll bother. What's

that?I'm only 25. What?

25?You're old, old. You're a 50. All

right, if

you want, I'll take you on onHuhAllright.

Get him!

You've only been only three months.

Ohh

You only learn what

you do.

All right. Don't

crawl. Sorry.

Yes, I'm Tanguey. Who is it?

No, tomorrow. Thank you. Thank

you. Thank you. I've got

a job! Well

done! Thank you, bye!

He's crazy, that guy! As an

international group, we go all over the

world. If you come to work here, maybe

you'll get to travel too. Insurance is a

kind of service, from seeing things work

to our client's advantage. If a client

should be dissatisfied with that service,

you can always go elsewhere, but it's

I suggest you use a tape recorder and

play it back later. Thank you, Manager.

Call Mr. Li Ed. He's our most efficient

supervisor. Hey, sir. What can I do for

you?Lojan, this is Tang Wei.

Here are his references for now. He'll

work for you. Mr. Lo, nice to meet

you. Oh, so you don't go full.

Why not work as a bodyguard?More money

than here. Tang Wei, any

more questions?Just ask Mr. Lo. Yes, sir.

Next one.

Huh

Next one.

All right, sit down.

All right, that'll be all for today. Now

you can go get changed. Hey, Tengwei,

long time no see. Tengwei, why'd you stop

fighting?Idle?I

chunkstar. I do all kinds, but I don't

have time right now.

What is it you're up to?Insurance.

Oh. Actually, I've come here today to

discuss business. Hey, we got no

business. Tell you what, now you're here,

why don't we practice a little, huhNo,

no, noCome on,

fella.

Hey, Hey you

want me to buy?HuhOK.

Hey, let's talk it through. Your gungfu's

coming along well.

Brother. How

dare you come here making trouble for

us. Brother, Tang Wei only came here

to discuss some business. Brother, we

forced him to fight with us. Really?He

isn't wearing our uniform. breaking the

rules.

oh

Hey, I've been expecting you. What kept

you so long?Ohh

What do you want?Last time, you

beat me. So now you want to return?

If you want, you can beat me. I'm really

tired. You're wrong. That isn't it. I've

come here to learn from you, because you

beat me. To learn?

As my student?Now,

I'd like you to take out a policy.

You're crazy. Why should I buy insurance?

Do you want me to die?Honestly, it's in

your best interest. You tell me why

that's so. Surely you're aware why your

husband's been busy lately. He works

hard. Have you met Annie yet?

Ah, my husband's secretary. You're aware

they spend their whole time together.

Uh, Eddie does help out my husband a lot.

You mean going out to dinner?At

social. Staying at hotels?

What's that?At hotels?Wait, I

get all of him. Hey, wait. Hold on.

That's not the way to do it.

What should I do?Take insurance out, then

transfer the money to you.

You don't need to have much money for

insurance to hit the jackpot.

Who will benefit?Your son, of course. Uh,

that's good. Even if I

die, my son won't have to worry.

Oh, excuse me. I have to make a

call. Well, is

Mrs. Cheng at home?Oh,

Mrs. Chang, are you free?Shall we play

Marjong?Good, I'll see you.

Where is the bill?You leaving?

A client has just smashed his hand up. I

have to settle the claim. Mr. Lowe, I'll

take out a policy, no problem. I'll buy

my insurance from you. I'll pay the bill.

Keep the change. Thank you.

My manager's clever. To start with,

Mrs. Wong wasn't the least bit

interested. Who would?It means

playing out. But Mr. Lowe

told her about her husband and the affair

she was having. Uh-huhWhat?

What did that do?What do you mean what?

Good. She changed her mind after hearing

what was going on. I wasn't talking about

that. You gotta use your legs, huh

Hey, easy, huhOh, you break your leg. OK.

You see, Mr. Lowe then went off to make

a quick phone call. Oh. What's a rope

for?How do you use this?Oh, I did,

in fact, let's call a friend to play my

jar. When he returned, he said he must

go. Up left, Mrs. Wong agreed to buy

insurance. Sounds like a crook to me.

What do you want me to do?Get a hold of

the stick and let's sit on my back here.

I learned a valuable lesson, and I've

already paid my fees. What kind of fee is

that?I've taken out of

policy as well. What a policy

from another guy. That's crazy.

You're

a...

What do you want?

Come on.

Hold it. Hey, Tang. You're

pushing me too far. So you're up your

tricks again. Ever since I joined this

gym, you've given him trouble. Haven't

you had enough yet?Hold it. Welcome.

You won't be able to beat him. You like

to use violence, but I have had some of

it back. You better stay in line,

otherwise you'll be banned. Huh

Like Shen?Business has been none too

brisk. In overseas

markets and local, it's been a

bad year. So I face a cash

flow problem. Well, what do you want me

to do?Unless you kill yourself

and I take out insurance. Oh, you're

crazy. I'm not going to

kill myself. But I would like

insurance on someone else. Who's that?

Sean Long. Sean Long?What's

wrong with him?He doesn't need insurance.

He's gone from bad to worse in front of

the camera. I made him from a

nobody into a star. So I got the right

to make money out of him. I see.

So what do you want me to do?

Insure him, stage an

accident,And they

collect. You what?That's murder. You're

kidding. Well, I won't do that.

Crazy enough. I didn't ask

you to kill him. I just want you to

take out an insurance policy.

How much for?

Huh20?Forget it.

much. Stop kidding around. It's

too big. I could end up in jail. Huh

I have an idea. Uh,

maybe we'll get someone else to fix it.

All right. I think I know a guy. Who's

that?A new man. Dang Wei.

John. I have work to do.

crazy. You don't have to work the whole

time, you knowI know, but you

don't understand. I must say a clan.

You must have heard of Shen Lung. Never

heard of him. Only heard of Bruce Lee.

Shen Lung's one of today's top kung fu

stars. You don't know very much, do you?

Look, there's another world

outside Hong Kong. You just don't know

how crazy people still are about Bruce

Lee. He's still the greatest. Maybe I

don't know much,But do you know how much

the policy's for?How much is it for?

Two million. Two

million?That's right. Mr. Sean is a

highly paid movie star. So I've got to

get dressed up. I must buy a new suit.

You're crazy. Just get a new shirt. What

do you need a new suit for?Mr. Lowe said

I was meant to. This policy

involves a lot of money. He wants me to

look like a businessman or to look, but I

have to work out what I'm to say. It's

not easy selling insurance. What will you

say, then?Mr. Shum, I'm from Universal

Insurance. That's too corny. Hey, crazy.

I

didn't know where he was gone. Anyway,

think it through. Why should anyone offer

you to handle a $2,000,000 policy?Well,

it's my loss. Makes no difference. Who

does it?What do you mean?

Who's getting a commission?Well, I do.

I'm doing all the work. I don't believe

your past is in the charity business.

Smells fishy to me. Not everybody's a

crook, you know. There's lots of good

people in the world. Hey, how do you like

my suit?Not bad. At least you look human.

What do you mean?Of course I'm human.

Shenlong, this is Tang Wei. He's here

about some insurance.

I don't want any insurance.

Our boss has arranged it for you. You

talk to him. I have to work now.

Your company's paying a premium, so

please sign here. I'm not

interested in any insurance.

No. But that's because you don't

understand. If there's an accident, you

get covered.

You mean I'm gambling my life with your

company's money?Not

really. It just means the company's got

you coming. I

don't care what you say. I'm not

interested.

Eagle. You

know kung fu?Our little.

I bet you ain't gonna know this style of

kung fu. Watch this.

Flying eagle. Spreading wings.

Uh,

be careful. I'm all

right.

I'm

not

gonna stand for this. Hey, hold

it. HuhNo one ever dares

fight me back. You've got guts.

All right, I'll be your friend.

Mr. Lowe. Good morning, sir. Hello, Chip.

I notice our new recruit, Tang Wei, is

doing well. He's recorded great sales

this month. That's right. And I dismissed

him as a bodyguard.

Thank you. This time he signed up the

movie star, Shun Lung. Oh, the Kung

Fu King?No wonder he paid so much.

Lo Chung, this is obviously a very

lucrative new area. I think we should

concentrate on it. Of course, but we

don't know any movie stars, and I have no

idea whether they're prone to accidents.

kind of detail later, this afternoon. All

right. Sir?This is

Tang Wei's letter of commission. Uh, sir,

I'm going over now to see Tang Wei. I'll

give it to him, boy. Uh, all right.

Thank you very much.

Umm Sit down, sit down. Tang

Wei, congratulations.

What for?The boss has already signed you

up as permanent staff. Here,

your contract. On probation for

six months. I thought you said now.

Right, my friend. That's

mandatory. Rely on me. I'll see you're

well looked after. Oh, fox.

Yes, thank you.

You're welcome. Don't mention it.

You've done well so far. You

needn't do any more business this year.

That's because you helped me so much.

BullshitI did

indeed. I gave it to you on a plate. So

you see, I should get the commission. No

wonder he's a bus.

Well, what do you say?

Of course, of course. Fine, then I'll

keep this check. Mr.

Lowe, I have to go. I'll just

take first. Hey, hey, no, that's-- It's

for Mr. Lowe.

Hey, come again, won't you?

You're an idiot. You don't give away

money like that. You need your head

tested. Can't you see he used

would get the commission. I never

realized that's all. You're an idiot.

I'm certain it's already taught. You give

a bottle of wine to the guy who steals

from you, you've come under this deal a

big loser. All right. But I have

made a friend out of a movie star.

Did you get that OK?OKAll right. Come on,

move the camera to the next position.

Over there. Put it over there.

Now, in the next shot, one of the

fighters will attack Xing Lung and Lung

will leave over the wall. Everybody ready?

Get ready, everyone. All right, bring

this down. OK. Yeah, I'm ready.

OK. All right.

Hey! But I

can't do that. It's dangerous. You can't

even do a simple stunt like that. How can

you be a star?I only know how to fight. I

never jump. I just can't do it. Are

you the director or am I?If Shan Fang

can do that jump, huh, you can do it

as well. Otherwise, get off a set. Give

it a try. Won't hurt you.

Tang Wei. Yes, sir.

This policy of Shandlong is straight.

He's hurt almost straight away. Have you

got any idea?I really don't know.

Then you better check it out for us. Two

millions have to be sneezed at. He's made

two payments, and he's already claiming.

If we pay out the full amount to him, it

could bankrupt this company. So

you go and see him. Yes, of course. Good.

Tell me, who introduced you to Shun Long?

Didn't you tell me your teacher had

introduced you to him?Tell me, are there

any other actors insured?I don't know.

They're too much trouble. Really, I don't

like being around. And no one's blaming

you. No one visits Mr. Shum. I'll go

on to the film set. Most

movie stars have stuntmen standing in. No

reason for them to get hurt. Mr.

Shum, tell me, how did you get hurt?HuhIn

kung fu films, there are accidents.

Not for the stars. Why don't you use a

stuntman standing?They used to, a long

time ago. But now no one uses them. You

have to do it yourself. But you're a

star. You have to consider your personal

safety. You mean my boss has

to do that. There's the audience, too.

But it's dangerous work. That's right. In

some of the stunts, you could easily get

killed. It could happen. But

a kung fu star isn't expected to do that.

I'm not really a star. Well, the public,

maybe they think that I'm a star, but

they treat you as if they own you

personally. You don't have any freedom.

Well, everything in this life has got a

price to it. Yeah, I can appreciate that

all right. But our company must pay

compensation. How much do you think?It's

only two thousand. That's not

right. Like five thousand.

Is that all?What?Not enough?You should

have made your claim earlier. Yes, I

know. But I didn't have a chance.

A chance?Well, it's all up to you now.

Our company already has its suspicion.

Oh. Well, I do.

You. You had better be quick

and don't delay.

Do something. Before they start to

suspect. Mm-hmm

Damn it, these eggs.

I can't tie these things up. There goes

another one. What's the matter?Be

careful. There are no more if you break

all those. You asked me to help you. It's

gonna take too long 'cause it's my

breakfast.

What do you want me to do then?You said

you're going to correct my kick.

Leave it to me. Now watch this.

This isn't the way. You have to be able

to just touch the eggs. What do you show

me then?There are 5 basic things to kick

Raise your leg just an inch away.

Don't touch the eggs. You mustn't break

it, all right?That's the

way. Touch the egg, but don't break it.

And don't move it.

Just push it. Concentrate and push the

target, but don't break the egg.

strength together till you feel it

swelling inside of you. When you feel it

right, then let the full force unleash

and explode.

What on earth are you up to?What do you

think you're doing?If we keep on like

this, we're all gonna be finished.

Since Director, we don't want it either.

But you know the trade. It's the fashion

right now. Mantis fist, eagle, snake

fist, bear claw, you name the blow.

There's a film about it. Even cat fist.

There's a film on that too. So we need to

come up with some new kung fu style.

You're right, a new style. Thanks. Go and

find me one. Yeah, that's right. We

must find some. We need exciting action.

It's what the audience likes. I I think

what we need now is a new kung fu

Hung, do you know any?

Hey, well Hung what about your

brother's... What?Go to him?

Can you carry on like that?

You

don't stand a chance at all. You're going

to be beaten every time.

Master, you're coming to ask your health.

Go to your old master. Get him to

help. My master's too old now.

When he was young, he wasn't much good at

Kung Fu either. It's only that he was one

of the first that began teaching Kung Fu.

I've traveled around the world and I've

seen all kinds of Kung Fu. Your master

never had to put up with what I did. He

I've perfected my own style. Why should I

see him?But you borrowed that

from our side of Kung Fu. Who needs your

Kung Fu style?It's lousy. Call it Kung Fu

if you like. Call it the audience or take

it in.

You look down on us.

You've said it, buddy.

ohh

I want you to be a new kung fu director.

How much will you pay?Oh,

2,000 a film.

Five. No problem, five.

I want 50,000.

Mr. Tank, you'll find your way around,

but watch that. Don't stand in front of

the camera. I've got to go back up. Just

find a place for yourself to sit. Now be

careful of the equipment because it's

fragile. And don't bump into the problem.

It can be broken. I won't be lost.

All

right.

Yeah, going up. OK. Everything's okay.

Get ready for

rehearsal.

Everybody ready.

Ready to roll.

Ready to roll. Come on, man.

Come

on. Quiet on.

Director, they've gone to get the Kung Fu

Director. What can I do?Well, help.

Who are you?How dare you sit in this

chair. Come on, get out. Get out of here.

Go on. Go on your way.

there. I'll go and help them. So long as

just come back. Oh, let's start now. OK.

Hey, that's it. Start now. Kung Fu

Director.

All right, here we go. Go on.

Hey, don't shit on that. You can't.

The pink's dry. Never mind.

Oh, damn. I wanted to kill you. It was

only a fake. What can I tell you?Hey,

Assister, Mr. Tang is a friend of mine.

I'll pay for it. Just put it on my tent.

Oh. Oh,

master.

Oh, somebody, give the man a chat.

Master, would you like to just go through

the scene?You already worked it out. Just

do it as you've got it away. All right,

Mr. Le, let's get started.

Hold it. Hand that over to me.

Why should I?I said so. Because I want

him. Give it here. No.

NoGet him.

Take it. Come on.

Hold it.

Now will you hand it over?No way, I

won't. Oh, you refuse. Get

him! Ohh

Do you still want it now?Yeah, I don't...

Okay, cut! Cut! Cameraman, you got it?

Yeah. All right, make it a print. Uh,

okay, bring that mattress here. Come on,

take it. Come on, quickly. Hurry, hurry.

Now then, for the next sequence, you'll

jump down from above, then kick to the

side and knock over a hand. All right,

let's do it once in rehearsal. Now, try.

Now shoot. Now you give him a

kick here. You attack him from behind.

Now you attack him from the front. Okay,

that's good. Master, how do you like the

action?Hold it! HuhMr.

Shun's just recovered. This acting's too

dangerous. He'll only get hurt again. How

do you know it's dangerous?I've practiced

it myself. It's not easy.

You mean you can do it yourself?Of course

I can. It's all right for me. Then why

don't you show me?

Oh, look at this, yeah.

That's good. You followed just what Idid.

This guy's good. Use them for the steps.

That's all. Mister, how can you use this

person as a stuntman?Because he's really

good at kung fu. Well, we've already got

Shao San as our stuntman. And he looks

like Shun Lung as well, much more so than

Shao San, in my opinion. But he

doesn't know how to act. Uh, you can

always train him. I don't run

training classes for actors. You

what I say and train him. Uh-huh

Movies involve a hell of a lot. The

appear on the screen. Now, the

scene here is the Hong Kong Karate

Championship. Now, take a look.

Those two guys are really worked up.

Yeah, but the action isn't very clear.

Yeah, that's right. Fighting in the

movies is different from real life.

After all, we don't hitWhen we're

filming, we need a man just to direct our

movements the whole time. So it is

clear. Otherwise, it gets confused. It

takes a long time fixing it. Now you see,

he seems to be killing the guy, but what

you can't see is how the other guy's

holding on. So that the man attacking

looks as if he's using great violence.

What's up now?Are you starving?

You're acting so weak you couldn't even

beat a cat. The audience won't believe

you're a fighter. You're moving too

fast. You've already moved off before the

other actors have got near you. I'm

sorry. I'll move a bit slower. You're

costing me money. Wasting my time.

Don't you know how expensive filming is,

aren't you aware of it?Idiot.

Let's practice some more then. Oh, just a

few times we're feeling exhausted. You

try again, we're gonna take a rest. You

think we're made a stone or something, huh

You're a stunt man, you're trained for

it. You're important.

Did you realize stunts get paid a lot?

400. But the director just gives

you two. Because he don't like you.

selling insurance policies.

If you sell insurance, I'll be the first

one to buy a policy. Right. Yeah.

John, sorry, but would you stop doing

that?You don't practice yourself.

Would you ask me to stop?

Watch around. Who's getting at you?The

actors said I'd taken their jobs.

Although I just wanted to safeguard

Shun Long. You didn't worry too much.

And practice.

Come on.

Not if I'm being upset. These are the

actors, follow.

Okay, cut! Cameraman,

okay?Yeah. Director, director,

it's okay. Okay

OkayCarry on. Carry

on, carry

on. All right, for the next sequence,

Shun Lung does a somersault over the

table and lands on the floor. Can you

fire, shall we?That's good. All

right. You can't even fight right.

Now don't you foul up on the stunt.

Come on. Do it right.

This time.

Is that all right?Sure, I want you to do

it. We don't have any challenge. That's

enough. Change your clothes and get

ready. Sir.

OK. Come on, move that table. All

right. You're OK for the shot?All

set?Yeah. OK. Stand by.

Hey,

what's wrong?Oh,

no, not that. I hired you to help the

film, not to make trouble for it. But

Tang Wei didn't mean any harm.

Hey, you trying to make trouble here?I've

been watching you. You're up to

something. You switched the tables.

You're after Tang Wei. Go on. Keep it

quiet. HuhNot your business. Get out of

here. You bastard that fight. Right, you

want to fight.

But single Shan Lungs, be patient. Don't

fight anymore. Hey,

look out.

You're

saying something and you don't fight.

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Hold it!

If you let those stuff fight you right

now, I'll beat the whole lot of you up.

That's

still not enough.

Let's carry on some more.

If you hadn't stopped me, I would have

sorted those guys out. Ohh

What do you like?You know what I mean, eh

Come on. All right, you ready?Hey, I'm

ready.

Come on, come on

How was that?Get her.

You all right?

You're completely useless at Kung Fu. You

shouldn't do Kung Fu films. Even a

foreigner can beat you up a Kung Fu.

You're hopeless. No wonder our

films never make any money. I never

thought that foreigner would dare to take

us on. You think Teng Wei didn't

dare. He kept his cool. One day he'll

really blow a fuse, though. I like that.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mark. Hey, don't take it

easy. I don't want you goading so long

into a fight as well, though.

Remember, the best blow comes from

behind. Uh, you know

what the Director's getting at?He means

if you want to fight, then do it outside.

It's just not easy controlling our

tempers. Next week I'm starting another

film. If you don't learn to control

yourself, you're banned from the set. All

right, yeah, well, it should be ready for

the next show. Yeah, coming up now. I've

got to see some overseas distributors, so

will you look after the filming?Yes. In

this scene, Shan Lung's chasing the

convict. Both sides shoot till Shan Lung

gets hit himself. But he's killed all the

bad guys first, you see?And then that's

the end of it. Director, how does Chen

Loong get hurt?Oh, a sudden attack. We'll

make it look very real. Uh, we use a

special effect. Right. He's shooting as

he runs, but it's not easy, so he dies

for cover, and they shoot back. Hey!

Hey, Director, get out. You all right?Oh,

what are you doing to me?Look what you've

done. How can I see my customers now?

Director, if Teng Wei hadn't lifted you

aside, you could have been killed.

Uh, Tang Wei, I'm sorry. I shouldn't

blame you. Have you got any idea how

to film Shanlong being shot?Uh,

I think if you fall down from above,

it'll be better and more dramatic. All

right. Uh-huhDiscuss it with Tang

Wei. How to do Shanlong's stunt. Right.

Director, we'll make it start now. Oh,

the hell is he. Why discuss it with him?

Cut! Now Sheng Lun gets shot and

falls down. Sheng Li, what's the action?

What do you do?Back faster. It's your

turn.

Okay, let's do it. First it gets

shot, then I shoot back when I fall, I

start to tumble. All right, that's good.

Now put the explosive in your coat. It's

your right arm that gets hurt. Ohh OK.

Come on. Yeah, move it over there. All

right, set the shot. We're gonna need

another replacement, Val. Okay, stand by,

everybody. Come on, you two working the

mess. Shots ready, shots ready.

Okay.

Well, they're hanging ready. All right.

Stand by, everybody. Camera ready.

Camera?Action!

Cut!Hey, good. Terrific. That

was a good call. Very, very good. Very

good, sir. Hey, what's happening?Oh, my

God. What's that?What's that?

Oh. What the?

HuhHow'd it get there, huhBe

grateful. Come on, this way.

Hurry. Hey. How is he?Is he going to be

all right?The bleeding's stopped. He

should soon be back to normal.

I'll hold you responsible if anything

happens to him. There's

no need to be rude. Tron controls your

temper.

I don't care what. Stay in hospital.

First class room.

Weiss company?Who's that?

What?Where are you now?All

right, all right. HuhRight

HuhWhat?What can we do?

What's the matter?If you're too busy,

never mind. We'll talk another time.

Nothing serious. They're two gentlemen

who are after the same area. Our boss

isn't sure what he should do next at all.

That's right. I don't have a clue what I

should do. Oh, that must be Gordon of

Gordon Company. I can't let him have it.

Mr. Chen. Well, buy it. I'll give you

fifty thousand for the state series. But

they were offering a higher price. Oh,

that's enough talk. Sixty. Here's a

deposit. You take it. All right. I

think we can become good friends. Then

Mr. Chang will go and say that a deal is

off. Later, I'll take you to dinner. All

right. I'll go make my apologies and

we'll meet for dinner.

Where is he?In hospital.

You're awake, Dagway. How are you feeling?

I was seeing some customers. When I heard

you had been hurt, I hurried straight

over. Thank you. Director,

I'm all right now. They were only playing

with me. You mean playing with

your life?Right. There surely is no

laughing matter. I turned my back a

moment and this happens. You think it was

an excellent Tang Wei was deliberately

set up. Oh god damn it. Those bastards

Leave them alone. Tang Wei, since you

helped me doing this film, the

distributors were most impressed. You've

a bright future. You must take care of

yourself. He has to get out of your

clutches. What do you mean?I

mean you guys. John.

Tang Wei, you better rest. I'll come back

tomorrow. Bye-bye. Don't

try your face, Becky. Only means more

trouble.

Cut, cut, cut.

This is no good. I hung. Change it.

Change. Change what?Are

you the director now?Cat?

Why do you call cat?Huh

What do you mean it's no good?I'll show

you how to do it, all right?All right, no

problem. Yeah, oh yeah.

You see?Hung couldn't do it, so why

can't you?Are you making trouble again?

He can fight. You can film him and stand

in. I don't feel easy doing it. God damn

it, you... Uh,

film him. You're a big man now, a

movie star. I made you a

star. And now you're giving me trouble.

Don't you like hard work?Why don't you

think back to what you used to be doing?

You were worthless. If I

hadn't brought you into this business,

you would mean nothing. And now the tang

way is hurt. You won't do your job. Well,

if you keep it up like this, I'm going to

be ruined and you'll be ruined too. I'll

see you crawl back to where you came.

Who's there?Come in.

Uh-huhDanway. Director.

What happened to you?Nothing. I

just got home while filming.

Danway. When can you begin working again?

I'm fed up with being cooped up here all

day. But I don't want to do

films. HuhWhy not?Who's

offended you?No one.

I just don't feel comfortable doing it.

It's not my scene. Dang way. You've got

to help me out here. You can't let me

down now. Without you, I'll be all washed

up. You won't be washed up.

You can easily find someone better than

me. ButIf I carry on

filming, I'll be finished.

Before, I gave you 200 a day.

Well, now I'll give you three.

Five?

Ohh One thousand.

I'm begging you. All right.

I agree. I'll start work. Oh,

thanks a lot. Make sure you get lots of

rest. I'll be in touch with you soon. OK?

See you.

Huh You really are a sucker. You don't

leave me any choice. Goodbye.

Didn't you see how he was carrying you on?

How can I refuse him?You do

anything he said. Even give up your life.

All right. First I'll have to

tell Shun Lun all about it.

Yes, what do you want?

Ohh

Who's that?It's me, John.

What the hell happened to the bread?You

shouldn't be so curless. It wasn't my

fault. Then

whose was it?Huh What happened to you?

They ambushed me.

Why would they fight with you?Well, I

don't know what they're after. You're

always getting yourself into trouble.

They must have said something. They

wanted me to keep my nose out of the

business. What's that?Stay

away?If that's the

case, we'd better get out of here.

I'm sorry for being nice.

How's the film going?Not bad?Not bad.

Complete mess. Don't know what this load

of crap is. It's Chinese kung fu.

It's Chinese kung fu played in the

kindergarten. If you don't do a better

job, I'm pulling out. Ohh Really?

I'm not kidding you. I'm not going to buy

this film if it's like this.

Ohh No, No you mustn't do that. I can

soon patch it all up.

I can. I can

Director, what is it?Let's tang wei in

here straight away. What's the

matter?Can't we do anything without him?

What's wrong with our movie star?Can't he

even fight?The stupidest film like the

film. We used our best styles

in it. There's nothing more we can do.

Uh, Shandlo, don't be angry. This guy,

always rude. But we can find a use

for him. He'll help you sort it out.

Ohh

huh They're looking for me.

What will you do?I've done nothing

wrong. So why do they want to beat me

up?And why look for you?

You must have messed up some little

scheme that got all worked out. I was

just helping Shun Lung. How could that

interfere?We still believe all law tells

you. Can't you see Shun Lung's a fraud?

What am I going to do now?

You think I shouldn't go back to the film?

Unless you're crazy and you want to get

killed. I think

I ought to go back to the film. If you

do that, you're just asking for trouble.

I must find out what the hell's going on.

The only way is to go back.

Tomorrow, I'll go see the director.

Director with Phil Tengwei. Really?Where

is he?I'm here.

I came on my own. Oh, Tengwei, I've

been looking for you. Don't you know?

I offered a reward for you. You were

holding up two films, you know.

Everyone was looking for you. If you

hadn't showed up, I'd lose a lot of

money. Do you have any idea

how much one movie costs to make?One

million dollars! HuhI

assure you one million's no small amount.

Besides, I've got contracts a bad to my

distributors. We must finish it, because

if we don't, they're gonna sue me, and

then I really will be broke.

UmmSo please don't walk out of me

again. You've got to help me this time.

If you don't do it for my sake, at least

do it for Sam Long. I've come here to

tell you. I will go on with the film. Huh

Oh, why didn't you say so before?You just

saved me talking so much.

Where have you been for the past few

days, huhJohn was attacked by a gang of

thugs, so I had to move.

Beaton?Who could have done that?

I don't care who did it. I will do the

film now. No one will stop me.

I don't care what anyone else says.

But I know you're a real friend. Here.

Cheers.

Before, I used to think the film business

was exciting. But now that I'm in it, I

realize I was wrong. It's really much too

complicated. No, that's

only because you still knew. They haven't

accepted you yet. When they understand

you, they won't give you any more

trouble. I hope Tengwei doesn't get badly

hurt. That was a nasty accident.

Injuries always happen. You can walk

across the street and get hit by a car.

But this time it was no accident. So I

suggest you take out some insurance.

Not business again. John, you must

be serious. Chunlong, I already

insured myself. For how much?5000.

That's not enough. How much can you claim

if you're hurt?A hundred grand. Not

enough. Tang Wei, while you're working

for me, you're in my care. Let's say half

a million. Is that all right?

I can't accept. It's too much. It only

costs $10,000 a month, and I want to pay

because you're a friend. Aye, those are

the guys who try to ambush me, huh

John, let them go.

Hey, what are you doing in there?I'm all

right. I was figuring out who's behind

this. Oh, no. You got any ideas yet?

I don't know. Director Chang treated me

like dirt to start with. Now he seems to

be buttering me up. What for?He's

lying. But it's true you do perform well.

Then who else is there?Fancy home?

No, I wouldn't dare do it.

Kung Fu director.

Couldn't be. He wanted me to be the

stuntman. I know, but I think I've seen

him somewhere before. I was so angry I

couldn't think clear and forgot. I'll

check it out. He is Fan's teacher's

brother, but he doesn't like Fan at all.

On the other hand, he's good to me.

You're so simple. Just because he's good

to you doesn't mean he won't hurt you.

You mean Shen Lung?I reckon he's

suspicious. You agree to let him buy

insurance for you. Maybe he does want you

hurt. Impossible. He's worried about my

safety. Well, if you all believe me, just

think it through for yourself.

I don't know. But I will look into it

till I can find out what the hell's been

going on here. Now that I've

started on this project, we need

something new. Not always gung-fu

fighting. Must be something exciting.

Uh, if it's a police story, why don't we

have a car chase that's always

entertaining?Maybe we can have it crash

as well. If we do film that,

it must look as real as possible. We can

hire an expert from the United States to

do all the stunt driving. HuhA

man from the States?And a few smashed up

cars?What will that cost?Oh,

probably a lot. At least a million. Oh,

only a million. Well

sent. I'm not a producer from Honeywood.

This isn't a fun way day. I'm sorry, I'm

sorry, I forgot. Of course you're a Hong

Kong producer, aren't you?

Director, why don't we have a car chase,

and then as the man gets hit, he manages

to bounce over the car.

Mister, any suggestions?

Not many. It needs something. The film

must be livened up. What can we do to

give it that bit extra?I

think we can film a man running towards

the car and then he jumps over

it. That'll be dangerous. Maybe the man

will get badly hurt.

It was done successfully in a Japanese

film. Once the car's moving, if the

stuntman can time it right, he can take

off and leap over the car and never touch

it. But if the job did it before, then it

isn't exactly a new idea.

Wait a moment. I thought of something.

Oh, what's that?Suppose as the

man jumps over the motorcar, he uses the

roof as a springboard.

That's more dangerous. If he misjudges

it, he'll go through the windscreen and

the driver will die too.

Provided we could get the timing just

right. Tang Wei could do it. After

all, he suggested it.

OK, I'm ready. The

time way, can you do it?If

there's a doubt, we can cancel, can't we?

No sweat. If there's a doubt, Tang way,

let us know. Come on. I'm

ready. Are you ready,

camera?

Ready! Camera!

Action!

Tanway, how was that?You all right?

I'm fine. The speed isn't right.

The driver got it wrong. Tanway, it's

too dangerous. We'd better stop. There's

no problem. Let's do it again.

Pretty good action. How'd you manage to

make that out, huhI'm sorry, but

that's our secret. Just like you

Hollywood guys, we've all got the tricks

of our trade. What about the guy who

jumped the car?Can you tell us who he is?

Oh, no point talking about him. He's a

new guy, just started work. Since he's

such a good actor, why don't you use him

on your film?Actor?

You're kidding. I could sign him to a

contract and make him into a big movie

star overnight. But all those

action sequences, well, you know, he did

do those himself. Let me know his next

release. I want it first. No

problem, so long as you pay your deposit.

Uh, gentlemen, allow me to introduce you

to our company's latest star, Mr.

Tong Wei. Huh

Where's Penguin?He was standing behind

you. Oh, stupid. Why didn't you watch him

closer?Shan No, don't worry.

I've got everything arranged for him.

Why'd you walk out of the preview

yesterday?No reason, but it had finished.

You had your business to talk over.

But I wanted to introduce you. ohh

I wanted them to know you'd be the star

of my next film. Suddenly you weren't

there. I was most embarrassed. Don't do

it again. I'm sorry. But after this film

was finished, I'm going back to

insurance. I don't like films.

Now you're talking stupid. If you stay

with the film business, you'll have a

bright future. I'm depending on you, so

don't let me down this time. Thank you.

Why don't we talk it over when this film

is finished?Uh, all right. You go back

and have a rest. We'll talk later. See

you, Director. Bye-bye.

Philippine stick. How do you know that

style?I used to live there for 10 years

when you were still a child. HuhI

heard of you. You're an expert.

You don't know enough of kung fu to

fight, but you still cause trouble.

Tong Wai's a friend of mine. I do what I

can to help. BullshitI want you to

get out of Hong Kong now. You're wasting

your time, Mr. I won't go. Well, let's

see how good your kung fu is.

Here I fight.

You won't get me.

I told you to leave town.

Yeah, tell him before it's too late. I

won't go. Ah

You're asking to be killed. I won't

go. Ohh

You're still alive. You are lucky. So you

were behind it. Right. I was hard to do

my job. I'm sorry that you were involved.

What

can you do about it now?Huh

You're

gonna leave me?Nancy,

surely you aren't serious. I'm

serious. I'm teaming up with Shen Long.

I've always been nice to you. Don't

listen to what Shanlong says to you.

You're always saying that Shanlong is so

useless, even what a tangway to buy his

insurance. No, not me. See,

that was all Chang's old idea. Uh,

right. It was by his own good. I

was scared he might get hurt. Do you take

me for a fool?Shanlong is not a nut. You

wanted to murder him, then collect on the

insurance. Well, Shen Lung is your Tang

Wei as well. He must have meant it from

you. It's all going to be. Was that your

idea?So what if it was?I'll make Tang Wei

into a star. Tang Wei,

I... That's enough.

You're a bunch of crooks. Where's Shen

Lung?Shen Lung, when are you going to

start the next film?Nancy's still talking

with her chair. Is the scripts ready?

The sets are made. We can start working

whenever you want. Shalan. We've

decided to father you if you get rich.

Better not forget us. What's up now?You

know very well if you stick with me, I'll

see that you're well rewarded. Shalan.

See you there. Uh,

hi.

Dang wei. You're just in time. We're

planning to start a new film. It's not my

concern, Shun Long. I'm telling you,

we aren't friends any longer. Oh, what's

the matter?What have I ever done to you?

You sent some men to beat John, and you

deceived me. You even hired that man that

killed John. There's no need to try lying

to me. That's not going to help you.

Bethan, you should show more respect. You

should be more grateful to Mr. Shun than

he ever let you on the set. Huh

After all, we did give you a job, didn't

we?Uh, you talk too much. I'd like

to know what you intend to do about it. I

intend to even the score. Bastard you get

killed!

If you're not going to help me, then I

may as well collect. What are you going

to collect?If you're dead, I get the

insurance. So that was your idea.

Ohh

HuhJohnna?

What happened to you?Are you all right?

Tang Wei, don't go now. Join my company.

You can be goldfood director. Tang

Wei, I'll make you a big movie star. I'll

give you 50,000 a film.

60,000, 80,000... Ohh

Don't

leave me.
