The Qing dynasty, China was a nation in

great turmoil. Many patriots who tried to

put their country on a new and

progressive path fought and died in their

battle against reactionary forces. Five

such loyal men, who were carrying a list

of their rebel comrades, were pursued by

the royal troops who were determined to

capture them.

Hmm

Hi. Where's the blitz of name?Go to

hell.

Quick! Why have we still got a chance?

Five rebels. Three were killed. One of

the survivors was a Buddhist monk, the

other a layman. Both were men of

considerable fighting skill. And both

were men of great bravery and spirit.

Hear and fight!

Quack, zig, zig, quack.

Zig, zig, zig, quack,

zig, zig.

Long wing style!

Dragon!

Enough! Teacher?Fatty. HuhWho taught you

that move?You should know it was

you. Not me. Not that crap. Hands

up. Hands

straight.

You're useless. All this time. Can't even

stand. Teacher, but I can

stand. You watch. Sure, I'll

watch. Fire!

Carry on. Come on!

Now listen, you. Learning

kung fu needs hard work. You got that?

On we go round

and round, walking circles on the ground,

speaking with them from the gods. We must

walk until death relieves the light. On

we go round and round, walking circles on

the ground. We will walk on and on until

the devil talks. On we

go round and round,

on the ground Speaking wisdom from the

gods We must walk until death releases

us Straight. Teacher, what's wrong?Huh

Speaking wisdom from the gods We

must walk until death releases us Now,

you just ignore them. That crowd. Try

black magic. Just to learn some special

kung fu. It's a fake. It's only for

fools. Got that?Yes, sir. Practice.

And listen, who are you?

Duncan Mutt. Ohh

The devil is coming.

The devil

comes in

many forms.

The crippled man.

The tower's priest.

He's away.

Pour

some water on him. Yes.

Teacher Chan, be careful. The devil's

entered him. He can't hear what you say.

You be real careful. Don't you worry.

He's all right. He'll wake up.

Teacher, he's a...

Teacher Chan, I think that the devil's

left him now. He's all right. Now look,

no more of these games. Kate,

you know what you did?Just now?

Well, do you know?No. Now

come on. Where's he come from?

Well, I think he comes from Chung

village. Names are Sin. And somebody was

telling me he lives in that broken down

temple. Well, let this be a lesson.

Now you better behave yourself in future.

No more tricks. You hear?

Teacher?Teacher?What is it?

Take me as a pupil. A pupil?

Yeah. We never take in

strangers. Well, I know that.

But just this once. Oh, please, sir, take

me. Can't. It's the

rule. I can't do it. Teacher, please take

me. He's a well-built boy. I

must admit, with the right training, it

could be good.

Hussing, I can't do it.

Hey, I won't move until you take me.

Whatever you do, it won't help. But

still, you could work here as a

servant.

Hey, listen. Look at that kid. He looks

just like a dog. It's strange.

Why does the teacher make him wear iron

shoes?Oh, don't know.

Daddy?Yeah?Let me teach you. Oh, sure

thing! Horse Dance! Hmm..

Wink it!

The clutch...

Left kick! Hey, stop it!

Right kick!

What you doing?Teacher told me...

to move this dirt. You've messed it up!

Are you criticizing us?The teacher told

us to practice here! HuhGot that?Hmm..

Were we supposed to make

way for you?Daddy?Yeah!

Practice?Right! I will! Here! Hey!

Hey now! Hey you! We're

practicing. Shut up! Come on, he's a

stranger! Don't talk to him!Teacher will

come soon. Let's practice.

Now you come on. I'll show you the

basics, huhThe old one, two, three.

There's no problem with it. You just

follow me, and I'll show you how he goes.

Now watch this, huh

Basics. Now, the following

things. are fundamental to a

grasp of Kung Fu. They are

speed, strength, guts, power,

liveness, and spirit.

In addition to these, you need some

skill. Also, courage.

Without these, you can never succeed.

Got that?Now carry on.

You know, you fight real good. As good as

the teacher. Honestly, you really are

very good. Hello there.

Morning.

Hey you, get out of here. You're

disturbing our practice. Yeah, go on. Go

away! Sure. Now

listen, the teacher's not here. So today

I shall lead the practice. Come on, now

look. Let's have a rest. Yeah, let's have

a rest. We worked pretty hard here. A

rest wouldn't do us any harm. Yeah,

that's right. Don't be so goddamn

stupid. Teacher will be back soon.

What would he say?Now, let's all

go over one of the techniques.

Again, sir! HuhThat's not the

right way. It's wrong. Hey, what's

this?Hey, listen.

He insults you. You hear?Not an

insult. It's just different from the

teachers. Nothing like it. That's

right. Shut down! Hey, listen.

You fix him. Right.

My friend. What is it?Are you saying you

know the right method?Oh, now,

yours was all wrong, the first and

second. Now, teacher's is different,

huhNow, are you all

ready?

Horse stance, and

then a punch hit the jaw.

The horse kick, and rib

punch. The horse attack,

and then kick. Hot step!

Turn and attack! Forward push!

See?That's how the teacher does it.

HmmThat's...

Yeah.

Ohh Wow, like an earthquake.

Now why did you attack me then?I'm gonna

teach you a lesson. Hey! Wait. Wait,

you can leave it to me. I'll teach him.

Go on. Huh

That one didn't seem to work too well.

Any more, have you?That's

your rolling barrel technique, huh

Tilly, let me! I'll beat this kid

till he looks like Beef Burger! Hey,

come on!

That was your dragon style, huhWell, now,

you couldn't really manage that.

Well, all right, let's see you managethis!

I got lots more of that.

Ohh

Strange.

I've never taught him any kung fu,

though. Listen, that damn KP need a

lesson. Pick him up.

Teacher?Teacher. Teacher. Teacher.

Teacher, they's outside of here, here

No need. I saw it all. HuhLead them away.

I'll handle this.

Nassing, stay here. Come on. All right.

Teacher, it's not my fault.

Nassing, when you came,

you didn't know kung fu then. So

where'd you learn to fight?Well,

tell me. I learned it

from you. What?When was

that?Teacher,

you see, I've been watching when you

teach. At night, I

have been practicing. I was right.

You're a bright young kid.

Teacher, take me as your student.

Sing. Now you know. What the

rules are, I can't take strangers.

Teacher, please take me.

HuhTeacher,

take me, huhI sing.

You're an outsider. It's just

fate.

Can't be helped.

Teacher won't take me. It's my fate.

But three times?

No.

Ah It's

just fate. Ah,

God!

That's it!

Yeah

What's all that?

Oh No use.

A sink.

Teacher, I...

Can't sleep?I think.

It's pretty late. What are you doing?

I mean, you're not tired?Huh

Teacher, you said to come.

HuhThat's so?When was

that?Teacher,

today you tapped me.

Three times. I

guess you meant three o'clock.

He's a very bright kid.

Unfortunately, because of the village

rules, I can only teach him secretly.

Teacher, please take me.

Teacher. Ah

Seng, but you know, I'm

not allowed to take outsiders.

Teacher. Say you

will, huh

In spite of the rule, it was said that

only the residents of the village were

permitted to enter the school. Teacher

Chan began to teach Ah Seng.

It had to be secretly when no one was

around. yeah Speed, strength,

suppleness, concentration. Ah

Sing studied all these things. And after

the basics, he moved on to the various

special techniques. And in a very

short time, he was developing a good

grasp of the kung fu martial arts.

Think.

Hey, he's just taking an outsider.

Ah, dummy. That's his niece.

You fool.

Teacher Chan, he's coming on real well.

Thank you, I am trying.

Hongyuk, you know, there's much to

learn, and there's no limit.

When I think of all those techniques,

there's simply no end to it. It'll

take years to learn them, in fact, a

whole lifetime. I'm

old. But there's plenty of time left.

There's lots of years in you yet.

Teacher, just because a man gets old, it

doesn't mean that he has to think of

himself as finished. Umm

Remember, keep practicing.

Because a loyalist has to be strong. Now

go on. The teacher and his niece have

gone to the temple. And there are

things in there as well. Hey, listen.

Teacher must be teaching the housing

secretly. Tell you what.

Let's watch him tonight. Yeah, let's do

that.

Right.

Come

on.

Wha...

wha...?I

told you. It isn't easy. Kung

fu is real tough. Teacher,

this special technique here... what is...

Co-chat style. Oh. So

then, it takes lots of time, 'cause it's

very complex. Just the basics will take

weeks. Teacher, how's it go

again?Show me. It's like this.

First move is like this, and then like

this.

Now, try to get away. Not easy.

Now, see?You see, it can be used in

different ways. You're extremely smart.

I'm not. An accident.

Don't see the young pig. Let's go.

Teacher Chen, some villagers have

complained that you're teaching an

outsider in your school. So

then, that's why I've come here, just to

see what you say. Ah, Mr.

Chang, all my pupils are from the

village. Hey, come on.

We're all aware that you've been teaching

kung fu to that young stranger that works

here as a servant. Right, that's true.

Well, I'll make him leave.

Huh

Teacher, don't you worry.

When the elder came, I heard

what he said. It

was only a matter of time

before you had to go.

Passing, I'm very sorry.

Teacher, if I stay,

you'll get into trouble. Well, at

least you've got the basics.

You've learned much in a short time.

But still, to be an

expert, you've still a long way to

go.

I see. Leave.

Teacher, I'm very grateful.

Ah Seng.

Teacher?You should go to Guangxi now.

I have a colleague there. His kung fu's

very good, but still, he's a

difficult man. He has a very bad

temper. Right.

I hear there's a good fighter named Chan

who is teaching kung fu at the old

temple. Well, all right, let's get him.

So, you're still alive then. But you

won't be much longer. They're not that

easy to kill.

It's you. HmmThat's

right. You surprised?Yes, I am.

But still, I tell you this. We

loyalists, we can't be stopped.

We'll see.

He got away. He can't escape, not

now. You track him down and

kill him! Yes, sir! Listen,

I can't stay here, not after last night.

We'll go to Pak Hill. No,

we have to split up. So if they get us,

at least they won't get us all.

Umm Now then, you go get Hong Yuk

and go to Guangxi. It's safer there.

Right. Also, you

contact Asing. Help him if he needs it.

Why?

Pack hill, huh

Such a big place. Where'll I find him?

Where don't I start?

Old man! Tell me!Where's the monastery?

Hey, where's the monastery?

Such a loud voice. There's no need to

shout. You want to become a monk, do

you?Ah, of course not. Me become a monk?

I'm just looking for a monk there. Well,

in that case, I can't help you. Find him

yourself. Huh Hey, being

awkward, are you?Well, I'm gonna

lose my damn temper with you in a minute.

Hey, my temper's pretty short.

You dumb?Deaf?Oh,

fool. I'll find monkgrass myself.

Monkgrass?Damn hims. Stupid old

fool.

You repeat that now. What was that name?

HuhWell, I don't want to tell you now.

Find it myself, huhAll

right, I'll test him.

He's

not

mad. Maybe.

Is

your

teacher... name of Chan?

He's the one transcendent, I'm sure.

Well, all right. I'm the one you want. My

name's Monk Grass. You are...

Teacher. Get up.

No, kung fu is not bad, but still,

you've much to learn. Even working

hard, it will take a long time.

Well, and right now, you could never

beat Hong Tao. What's more, I and your

teacher have to stay in hiding.

I'm going to get Hong Tao. I-- uh, you

don't have to tell me. Tell me, you

scared of hardship?I've known it all my

life. Teacher, teach me.

I don't doubt you. But if you're to beat

Hong Tao, you'll have to work really

hard. Teacher,

I don't care. Just you teach me.

First of all, catch me some fish. Good

morning. You got that, I think?For

sure. Easy. No problem.

Up you go. I'll take a rest.

Teacher, I did it!

Not easy, but I did it!

Get the damn bitch go!

Nothing. Time's up.

I see. Now come on.

That's not bad.

Peter, I did it. I think you can move

fast. Of course.

Although I didn't see you catch them, but

I know one thing. That you used some

trick. HmmTeacher,

why do you say that?Took a lot of

work. I don't dispute

that, but there's one thing. That is, the

fish you caught are dead, and they're not

alive. When I caught these things,

they were alive. Where are they?Well,

so what?

Now, you watch. This is the way to catch

them. Wow.

Teacher, that's difficult.

You learn it.

Tomorrow, huhNothing.

Teacher, not the ice block.

Bless you. But it's your fault.

Now something different, huhYou hang. Go

on. HuhHang?

Teacher, it's too difficult. You can

do it. Only needs practice.

Yes, teacher. Watch

it.

yeah

Teacher?I made it. Have

you?We'll see. Listen,

you see, all those iron rods, you pick

them all up, every single one.

Oh.

Hmm..

well

You practice or not, I I

will. Now let yourself

fall and don't stay. Don't wait,

we'll keep you swinging. The question of

velocity against gravity. Now

then, you stop swinging, the next step...

It's much harder.

See those bricks?You collect them all

now, eh

Teacher, you mean pick them

up?Yes.

And no tricks?

They're so heavy. How can I?

Just pick them up. Go on, Paul.

Now what's he doing?Trying to kill me?

Sure.

You watching?

Teacher?They fall, fall, they're

empty. Go

off. Ah

Keep going, get a lot, and don't

rest till you've done it. And don't kid

me that you're getting too tired.

Teacher, what comes next?You put

the bricks, all of them, into the

basket. Oh.

Teacher, pull.

Turn.

What's the matter?

Teacher, pain in my leg.

And you give me a pain in the ass

Ohh

Hey there, what are you doing?

Well, no, that's not bad.

Go on.

Oh?Teacher?

What's next?Next you learn something

new. Get hold of that stick.

Oh?

You're here.

Teacher, come on. Oh, you think

it's simple, huhNo, interesting.

The next thing is quite different. I

shall teach you a boxing.

The next technique is extremely

difficult, but it's one of the most

powerful techniques in Kung Fu.

Not only does it strengthen the wrists

and shoulders, but it strengthens the

waist and the lower body.

It

is known as Lin Fa.

Chun Lun!

Huh

Snake and crane. Heaven.

Snake and crane. Heaven.

Now the classical style.

Yeah

Have the eight pastures.

The three palms.

And the eighth diagram.

That style is known as the Buddha's fist.

Umm

I should tell you, this dinner is your

last here.

Teacher, I have to go?Ha

Sing, there's an end to everything.

Now, your kung fu is as good

as I can make it.

Where I go?You go to Fat Sun.

Oh?Fat Sun.

When I get there, what then?You'll find a

man, an old friend living there. Remember

Hong Tao?He's strong down there. All

of Kwantung, particularly in the south,

is full of his agents. They're

everywhere, in every town, so you'll be

careful. Teacher, when I

get there?First of all,

you be real careful. And whenever

possible, you must pretend that you have

no idea how to fight. Oh?

Even if I'm attacked?That's right.

RightSomething else.

Here, give this to Chan. You've got it

with your life. The Chings must not get

it. Someone will contact you in

mid-hour.

Teacher, don't worry. I'll carry out the

assignment.

But you, though. Don't worry about me.

You leave here tomorrow. Go to bed.

Oh.

That's it. Teacher,

something else?Your contact. We'll be

using a code. The code is as

follows. What you buy, you pay for.

Hey, he looks suspicious. Mm. All right.

Let's check him. Come on. Hmm

Hey, you fellas.

What the hell is this, huhOh yeah, you

question him. Right. Ohh

Now then, what were you doing at Back

Hill, ehWhat?Back Hill?

Was that?

That's good. He's not fighting. Hong-yu,

you be careful now. There's too much to

lose.

Hey, tell me, you ever met the old

monk, Grass?EhHuhOh,

yeah. On the mountain. Lots of

grass. And lots of monks, too. We got a

comet here, have we, huh

Damn! Yeah, come on.

Thanks a lot for helping me. No,

don't mention it. It was nothing. No

trouble at all. Yup. It's getting

dark. Time to get moving. Right.

Well, Monk Grouse is a very good friend

of mine. We go back years. So you

can stay with us, that's no problem. Make

yourself at home. Thank you, sir.

Copper! I'm gonna practice. Wait.

One sec. Come here. What is it?Uh,

this is Mr. Ah Singh. This is my son.

The boy is absolutely crazy about kung

fu. If it's the time, you might practice.

Hey, I can't. I mean, my kung fu is not

too good. Hey, at that, you got it wrong.

Got what wrong?He teach me kung fu?I

hope this.

You teach me to find... First of all,

let's check and see who's

gonna teach

who. I couldn't teach. Maybe discuss.

Oh, you mean advise me! Let's try you

out! Hey! Hey hey Whoa whoa whoa

whoa! Papa! It's impolite! Hey Dad, don't

stop me now! Now, you watch this!

Learn something! Hey yeah! Whoa!

It's great!

Hey! Whoa whoa

whoa! Hey!ohh

How do you like that, ehGet up, get down!

Oh, no. All right, let's try again.

Huh

You fight back?You're not scared of

me?You despise me,

don't you, eh

Pretty good!

Oh, God, why are you so impolite?

Hey, listen, I had to know which one was

the best. Who's the strongest here?

Get up! A foot! Yeah. Get in the cage.

All right.

Hold this.

And what the hell do you think you're up

to?Hey, come on. He be my

teacher?No way. But I could

be his, all right?Ah ha,

I think you come along with me. Sure.

Oh, very strange. Why would Moncraft send

a man like that to me?There must be a

reason.

ohh Now,

let me

tell you. You use that style to

attack your opponent's legs.

Use properly, you win each

time.

Assing! Here!

Wipe the thread off me. I'm

hot. Oh.

Umm Yes! Oh, that's nice. You

all right?

ohh

Hey, don't fall on me.

Mr. Wang, very good. You are really

powerful. You're tough, very good.

Really. Clap! Clap!

Thank you, thank you. I think.

We'll go and get some food.

I

think this meal's on me. And

so you just dig in, eat and drink all you

can.

Have a seat, sir.

Just the two, huhHave a seat. Sit down.

Now, what would you like, huhSome tea.

All right.

Hey. HuhHow is it, huhNothing. Eat

up. Sure. Hey, she's really

pretty, huhHey, you

fancy her?Oh, she's beautiful.

Hey, you could never make it with her,

ever. Oh?And why not?Why

couldn't he?All that girl is is just some

wandering singer. Hey, come on, she

doesn't look like that. All

you need is money. And I got lots of

that. You think you can?Why

not try?Hey, there's only one way to find

out. She really turns me on.

Hey, you know how to fight?Oh, I've

studied Kung Fu for years! Well, what's

stopping you then?Master?Huh

Watch this. Watch what.

Hey, miss. They tell me you know how to

fight, huhAnd

so what?Well, like to try it off.

You want some more?Well, come on. Come

on

You had enough?My god.

They're all crawling up. Just like with

that.

Hongyou, let's go.

HmmHeh, I think, yeah. Do

you think that girl's kung fu is good, huh

Of course. HmmBetter than mine?Oh,

maybe not. Hey, I'd like to

try. Uh.. Master,

your kung fu... Hey, it's good!

Sure. Well, all right then. Let's

go find her, huhCome on.

My God, you really are a goddamn useless

lot! You drive away to customers! Are you

trying to ruin me or something?Every one

of you is no damn good. I'm going

bankrupt here!

Hongyuk?Hongyuk?

It's no good. Hongyuk just had a fight

with a whole bunch of men. Oh, my God.

Not that again. I've told her that ladies

never fight, but she won't listen to me.

Oh, I shouldn't be talking here. There's

some guests. I must go.

Hi, well, good evening, gentlemen!

Welcome to this house, uh Uh, hello! Uh,

I want... Yes, I know exactly what you

want. Hey, master. Huh

Let's go. Oh, what do you want to go for?

Our service here is excellent. I'm sure

that you'll be satisfied. You'll have a

great time here. Just come on over here,

then. Got some lovely nice girls. Hey,

come on, come on, hurry, serve the guest.

Hey, I want... Yes, I know that. Here you

are, just two real pretty girls. Choon

Bai is real popular with all the men.

Hey, enough of all this. Where's Hong Yuk

now?Sorry, but Hong Yuk is only a

singer. So you two come to fight,

not for love. HuhGo on, then.

Hong Yuk upstairs. You go and fetch her.

HuhAll this fuss for a girl. I

tell you, I'm not scared of a woman.

Hey, master. HuhLet's

go. No way.

Stupid fool. This doesn't look too

good.

What's all this noise?What's wrong?

You don't know. Don't get me wrong. I

know that you can fight good. Well, so do

I. So I came just to see who's the

better.

And so you think that your kung fu may be

better than mine?Of course. You're

a girl and I'm a man. Come on!

Now I says

Oh God...

Ha!

Ohh

Come on, master. I told you, kung fu is

up. I've had enough. Let's go. Not yet.

Not so easy! You pay for the mess! No

way! Hi, you'll bet.

Huh

You're kung fu lousy. It's not worth a

dance.

Ohh

Well, all right. Call all your girls out

and line 'em up and we'll make him crawl

out. Hongyuk, a very good idea.

He deserves that. That bastard

needs a lesson. Well, he'll get it.

Fight. Line up.

This was a real bad idea.

Hmph! Now you crawl out! No!

So you refuse?Right! Hmph!

Why not just crawl out?It's no big

deal! I'm a man! I just

won't do it! I'd rather be killed!

Ohh

Ha! Hide!

Hide! Hide!

And this... I'm real sorry.

Your fighting skill outmatches mine.

Thank you. You're great! I

would never have believed it! Hey, please

take me as your pupil, teacher!

If you're going to beat the James, you'll

need all the men you can get.

All right, I will. Thanks, teacher!

He's a good man. He deserves our help.

Listen, please take me...

Thank you, folks. Today, it gives me

great pleasure to open a school. But the

success, though, will depend on the

support that it gets, and you know that.

But I'm sure that it will succeed. Uh,

here we have Chung, the chief teacher.

Now, the next thing is a

test, needing great skill and a

lot of practice, too. We hope that you'll

all like it. It's the main event. It's

something special.

You ready?Right?

Now then, I must thank you all for

coming. Also, I

thank him, my friend Chan.

Now then, the next event here

is a boxing demonstration by the young

lady.

What can I do for you?

Now, what do you want here?

You learned your technique from Chan.

Where is he now?Hmm

Why do you want to know?We

want the list.

Where's Chan?

yeah Make... Make...

Make...

What?WhatWhat

Teacher Chung, all that we want is to

know where that teacher of yours is

hiding. We must have that list.

I suggest you think about it for a day

and give me a reply tomorrow.

I can't.

I can't betray him.

One thing's sure, I can't stay

here.

I've been spotted and it's not even

mid-August yet. I haven't done too well.

one thing's pretty obvious Hong Tao's not

going to let me escape the best I can do

is to pass that letter on quickly

you thought you could escape it won't be

that easy now

please just let me go on my way no

way you give us that

listWhat do you mean?

What, Liz?

PeachI guess that you might run into some

trouble. You may need some help.

Thank you. Go back.

Teacher Cho, but your trouble's not over

yet. So I'll come with you. You may need

some help.

And so you're the two, huhThe

ones who want to die. All right!

Now give me that list, you traitor!

There's no way you'll get it!

Now

listen. Carefully. What

you buy, you pay for.

Then it's you.

You go on and

finish your assignment.

ohh I

must say, you're not too bad.

It

burns.

Now you know how good I am.

You aren't all that good. You're already

in serious trouble with me. Hmm

You may have made a lucky blow, but I'm

not beaten yet. Well, I

think that's only a matter of time now.

HmmYou haven't

got

a
