you practice, right?

All right,

try again.

Dad, you want to try?

Hey, Dad, your face is dirty.

The swallow boxing style is quite

distinctive, and a great deal of it

is off the ground.

Most of the technique, in fact, involves

jumping high. The name implies

the style. The basic principle is

to concentrate blows on one point. A

concentration of strength like swallow

pecking. Swallow wing.

Swallow tail.

And swallow kick.

Come on. Come on

Come on

Dad?

Dad, what's wrong?

You turned 18 now.

Are you thinking about Cha Yoon Hai?Hmm

The day you came into this world, I

promised his father, when you were

18, you would marry his son.

So then... No! Won't marry

him. Don't know

him. Never

even seen the man.

HmmYou will.

Chan Yoon Hai.

No!

And who are

you?Name's Cheng Kang. Teacher Cole?Yeah,

I'm the teacher.

Teacher Ko's beautiful.

I'm Teacher Ko, the well-known kung fu

master.

Real Chinese kung fu. Develops spirit!

And strengthens the muscles.

He's world famous.

That's why I'm here. I want to learn.

Great!Hmm, I

must say, that you look promising.

A very well built young man. Hey,

did Lo Wu send you here?

I promise you, you could not have come to

a better teacher. Now I should let my

three students give you a demonstration.

HuhThe bricks!

Hey, iron neck!

Good kung fu. I am first.

Well, now, I must admit that I am

impressed. Umm

Good. Good

I'd like to study here. HuhNow wait.

You know what the rules are?

Well, those who want to study here,

one, pay a dollar a day. Two, do

the odd jobs. For three months you

don't actually study. Yeah, those are the

main points then. Well... I accept

that. That sounds quite reasonable.

Here's one year's fee.

Don't get lucky. Sure did.

The usual split, huhHey, wait. Your

hands. HuhYour hands. Your

hands. Your hands.

It's all fixed. Let me see.

Ohh

Chaiyunhai?No, I'm too sad.

And that's a very good meat.

You want some,

huh

You brazen hussyTrying to steal my

husband, are you?You can.

You can, 'cause he's mine. Shut up!

How dare you, making eyes at him, huhI

saw you. Now push off, or I'm gonna

scratch your goddamn eyes out. You hear?

Oh, cow. Hey! You call

me names?Hey, come back, and I'll fix

you. Forget it. No, I won't. Hey, you

look at my figure. Hers better than mine,

hands are me nut name. No, no, no,

AhHey, you!

What's wrong?I'm here! I

know! I think she'll smell better

than you! Ah

My God, one passion.

Hey, hey,

what's this?

Hey, Tsume, wrong way. It's not. Huh

That's not the way home.

That awful beggar, the butcher,

my god. And then that terrible lecher.

If Chai Yun-hai was like that,

I'd become a nun. Oh, you're

looking for Chai. I won't marry a man

that I don't like. HuhHey, Su-mei,

Su-mei! The master's

going to kill me. Hey, Su-mei!

Hey. Teacher!

Teacher! HuhMr. Wong's here. Mr. Wong's

here?Good.

Mr. Wong, please, pleaseThank you.

Teacher Ko?Yes?I've come here to see your

kung fu school, find out how good it is.

Mr. Wong, you've done the right thing. I

don't like to post, but my school here

is the finest in the country.

Mr. Wong, you sit down. All right, then.

If anybody attacks my students,

They just lift a finger. Oh, a finger?

Yeah, 'cause their fingers contain more

strength than most men's whole bodies.

Good, goodIf I'm

satisfied with your school,

I'll pay you $500 to act as head

teacher to my men. Hey, Mr. Wong,

you'll be satisfied. Everybody in this

school is a first-class kung-fu man. Even

the odd job man here is a top expert.

Good, Good in that case, let him

demonstrate then.

Well...

A top teacher has top pupils, and so by

looking at his students... One can judge

the teachers. Teacher one. And you're the

best, huh

Well, the fix. I don't know.

Oh, come

on. It's not hard. You can do it. Come

on. I don't know how. It's no good.

Don't worry. Just leave it to us. Come

on. Hey, come on.

Why the blindfold here?Don't worry. My

thing will take care of everything. Go

ahead. Hey, now, hurry up!

Okay. I don't know how. It's no

good. Don't worry.

A special blind technique.

Down, left. Come on, right. Right

Up, up Down, right.

Down,

right. Up, down, up. That's

external strength. Ohh

Hey, Mr. Wall, that brick must have been

faulty. Well, take another one. Oh, sure.

Hey, get the iron bar. Oh, sure, hit the

bar. Hey,

I don't know this either. No, no, it's

okay. Come on,

practice. Practice.

Oh, my God. HuhYou

can't be.

Oh, teacher.

That bar's become a noodle. I know,

it's a bad sample. Go away!

Oh, no no no, don't go. You haven't seen

the nail trick. Mr. Wong, they can use

their bare hands to drive your nails. Oh

my God. Some noodles.

Old Buddha's coming!

Hey, the old Buddha here. Yeah! Oh,

right, let's go. Come on.

Hey, what?Give it back.

No way.

Careful.

Oh

I'll

lose my temper in a minute.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, we're in trouble. Hey, you! You

hurt me!

We'll just forget it, huhAll right?

It's lucky that I'm tough, because if I

wasn't, I'd have been hurt. Behave

yourselves. All right,

I'll give out the money. Come on.

Hey, that was all your fault. Well, there

was no trouble, was there, huhHuhLet's

forget that. Sinsu me?No. If you do,

let me know, because... What's this?You

may want to forget our quarrel. I don't.

I'll fix you! Oh,

border. Those fella. They need a lesson.

I know, young men like to act up.

But you need a lesson.

Well, not bad, huhSo in future now,

you behave.

Ohh All right, no problem. Come on, get

your money. I've still lost the handout.

Hey, who's he?Bellfella?

You mean you don't know him?It's the old

Buddha. Takes from the rich, gives to the

poor. Every two weeks he comes around

here and he hands out money to the poor

folk. You saw him?

Well, his kung fu must be good. Sure it

is. He's an expert. Hey, you see how he

moves?

I know that right now, the escort

business isn't doing too well. Still,

it's an honorable profession.

Really want to work with me?

Right. I'll assign you as...

As the deputy chief of the escorts.

I'm the chief escort, and you'll be my

number two. Your Eight Immortal style is

well known.

I'd like to... Right.

The Eight Immortal style ought to suit

you. I'll teach you it. You like

that?Cripple

Lee can move mountains with his strength.

Han Chung Lee, he's the one who

likes to drink. Han

Chang Ju sits up till late and

plays the flute. Lee

Chung Bin, he's the fencer,

hard and sharp. Ho Xin

Q is the nimble one, light as

air.

Now then, here's the drunken fist

with the fingers as powerful as iron

claws.

Right. Get lower.

Get lower!Paul!

Paul! Paul!

Well, all right then. You watch

me.

Practice hard, huh

Chai destroyed his family to his

cowardice. I have to find him somehow.

Teacher, I guess you're pleased. You got

a client. Well, of course I'm pleased. I

sure deed the money. We'll start off

tomorrow.

In four months, this is the first

business I've had. Times are real

hard. But what's wrong with you, though?

Although you practice hard, it seems to

me your heart isn't in it.

Hey, why don't you answer?

Hey, teacher, you said you're not

expecting any trouble with the people

here. Of course not.

Everybody around these parts knows who's

the drunken master's reputation. They

wouldn't dare to give me any trouble.

More wine. Hey,

what do you think, ehHey,

they look pretty drunk, so maybe

won't you have to kill them, huhDrink up,

drink up, drink up.

All right. The door.

Teacher, something's wrong. Hmm

It's all right. Here, drink up.

I am drunken master.

HuhIs this a den of thieves

we've come to?To

me, they look a pretty wild bunch. Oh,

you watch me.

I get the impression they're all scared

of me.

Well now, I think I maybe ought

to spare your lives.

Still, I think you'll have to change your

ways, huhYou hearing me all right?

Go away.

Good wine. Hey, hey,

hey,

heyI let you up once.

Hmm

Teacher. Teacher.

Want some wine, all right?

You really got a nerve, fella?How dare

you try to do that to me, huhIt's

because... Because what?I lost my

money gambling. You lost it?That

casino. It's an evil place.

Well, I'll go and get your money back.

Wait here.

HuhMister, let me down. All

the folks out. Hey?

For sure, it's odd. Hey, high or low?

Unlow. Then you'll lose.

Right?It comes to six.

Unlow.

The old new bed, eh

What are they doing?Eh

First time in the casino. Hmm

Well, they're gambling. Gambling?Yeah.

What's that?What's gambling?I don't know.

You don't know?Hey, gambling is

trying to win somebody else's money, you

see, so that it becomes your money.

I see no money.

Hey, they're using wood. Oh, God,

you are dumb. They're chips. All right,

well, lift it. Let's see the dice there.

Listen. You've really got a nerve, but I

still won't teach you.

Now, look, you better not annoy me.

You'll get hurt. You bust up my business,

and you're gonna pay for that. All

right, let's go. Hey, did you call me?

Look out there. Hey, let it be clear. Why

the fighting?Nobody likes losing, you

know. HuhWhere you going?

Fish in a couple of waters.

Huh

Come on.

Ohh Hey, you all stand

back. My son can do it alone. Come on!

Whose is the dollar?Mine!

HuhYou again. Hey, you follow me. I don't

follow you.

And I don't know your friend Sue May. I

don't want to.

Oh,

Aye, banker takes all.

Hi, morning.

Mister, have a seat here.

Something to eat. Ah

Well, you tell me what you have. We have

tea, black and scented and red, and for

food, dumplings and some cakes too.

Right, black tea, steamed

dumplings and some cakes.

Good, right away. Ma, Ma,

Ma!

Now what's wrong?You look, look

Oh dear, mister, come to our

stall. We have good meat, good rice and

wine too. I don't

drink, that's all right. But still, our

food's better. Come on, huh

You better let go, or you'll yell.

Yeah?Yell what?

Yell my god. God, that

hurts. Listen, what's all this?Well now,

steal him. In fact, he came of his own

free will. Yeah?That's so?Huh

So you fancy him, huh

Well, I'll see your father.

Then we'll see. Tell me, what's

all this?

Listen, old man, we two had a deal

here about not stealing customers. Well,

your daughter just broke it, and she

argued with me as well. Oh dear, forget

it. After all, she is still only a young

girl yet. Sit down and relax now.

Just cool off. That's better. Better?

Listen, you. Do you think that I'm dumb?

All right. I tell you, two can play that

game. Ma, just forget it. Shut

up! I'll get even for this, I promise

you. Huh

It's your fault! Hey, me.

You come here now, and you have a cup of

tea with me.

Ohh I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You idiot! What's happened?

What are you doing?I'm

your senior, so say sir to me. I'll

teach you. I'm going.

Hey, miss. Thank you.

Wait! Don't go! Ohh

apologize to my sister. And hurry up!

Hey, but he kicked his sister and not me,

not me! Ha!

You're useless!

Quick, come on! Don't let go of me!

What do we do?You're fine!

Dad! Don't behave like that.

dressed like this.

Ohh A long story. I had to,

though. A

month ago, you sneaked away from home.

Should a girl behave like that?Tell me.

Dad, I know I was wrong.

Come home, then?No.

Till I settle my future, I'll never go

home. I know what you

mean. You want to find Cha Yoon-hai.

But how you'll find him?Dad,

we're fated to meet. Fate?

Fate?And if fate says no, you'll wander

forever.

Then that's how it will be. But still, I

shall find him.

Dad, I beg you, just to let

me have three months, and if I fail, I'll

come back.

Dad, now please say yes. All

right?Dad, as a favor.

Three months?Yeah. But

often goes with you. If

you refuse, then so do I. All

right.

You know, this style I

learned as a child. Don't want to do

it?Come on.

Kung Fu's unlimited. You should know

that. You don't really want to learn.

Listen, don't get mad.

I'll practice.

Go ahead, I'll be back.

Well, Old Buddha does live here, but I'm

not too sure just where.

HmmFor me?

Mr. Pie, thanks a lot. I'll try to find

out where he lives, but still, why do you

want to know?I just want a little

talk, but nothing more. Oh.

Please help me. Oh, sure.

Thank you, thank you.

Listen, teach something new. Something

new?I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Hey, you.

You wanna fight?

Listen, if I were to tell you about my

reputation here, I can promise you'll be

scared. I'm known as the old Buddha here.

Not scared?

What?Are you dumb?

Well, I'm a busy man. I'm going.

Huh You watch out when I'm roused. I'm

dangerous.

Listen. Where'd you get to?I

looked for you.

Listen. Who did it?

Never mind. Kung fu men

have to stamp pain. Now then,

something...

Something you ought to know.

Now look, no need.

I know it.

You're kung fu. It's not

very good. So you know it,

then why study with me?

Well, everybody has some merit and

you're smart and you act fast.

I admire that. I want to learn

it. Jinko,

I don't deserve

to be your teacher. No, in

my mind,You're still the

famous old Buddha. I

mean, you always put other people's needs

before your own.

Your kung fu's very good. You've

learned a lot.

Still want to learn?

You're wrong. Learn a

little, but learn it well. The Chai

style?is one of the best techniques in

Kung Fu. But still,

you've spirit enough, but lack in

skill.

You saw through me, I saw through you.

My boy.

Go now. Remember,

practice, concentrate on one style.

or you'll know many styles but be

master of none.

Hey, let me, let meCome on. I'll help

you. I'll help you.

Hey, what about me?Take me. I'll help you

as well. I'm a good boy. Shut up.

Be

quiet. Go away.

All right. Quiet. Now listen to her.

I only need one worker. I can't afford

more than one. Really?Nothing.

Good job, really. Yeah. Not a sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahWhat?Very hard,

Ben. Now listen. As long as I can see

you... Out! Out!

Uh, come on!

Oh, boy, one

more. Hey, hey

You have a temper. Get up!

Wait.

You chai?I'm Chen Kang.

Don't go.

First you tell me to go, then you say

stay. I want

you to work here. Me?

Hey, how's that?Yeah?You so much wine?Not

much. Hey there. EhHuhHere's the bean

curd. HuhWho are you?Never

mind. Where's it go?I'll take it in the

kitchen.

Hey. You work for that girl?

HmmAh

So she'd pick you then, huhShe had lots

of offers. Hey. Hey

You. You're really

lucky. Yeah. Guess

so.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey Hey,

cut that out! Hey, down here!

Give it back. Well, all right.

Here you are. Kitchen's there.

Please. Hey,

he's a pretty tough fella. Why she picked

him,

Hey, careful. Are

you blind?Sorry. I

wasn't thinking.

Where to?Through that door.

Oh. Oh, huhThat's

great. HuhYou again.

Hey, why you always follow me?I was

looking.

For what?

Any news?Cha Yun-hai's disappeared from

the face of the earth.

What'll we do?

Hey, want something?

You find good. I'd like to learn from

you. UhSo

you like kung fu?

Well, let's see what you can do first.

Right.

Snake.

Tiger.

Green.

You studied with many teachers then?Sure.

Quite a few now. All different

styles. Oh.

Hey. And what's your name?

Chen Kang. Chen

Kang?Chen Kang.

It's a common name. Where's your family?

Old Dad. I'm alone. Well, I'm

luckier. I still have a dad.

We live up in the mountains. First time

that I've left. Ah

My classmate.

Oh. About me...

Hey, what you practicing?

Oh, my waist.

Exercises. Exercise,

huhPhew.

Hey, and what's that style?A tactile

snake.

Junkan, Junkan, are you all right?

Oh, sure.

Junkan, know why I hired you?

You look like Yun-san.

He was just like you.

Know what?Jinkan,

you could have me. Also,

the store, if you want it.

Don't like me?No, it's not that.

Then you have another girl?

No.

It's just... Jinkan.

I've come to learn. Huh

Really?I'm practicing

the swallow boxing. Oh.

The swallow flies.

Up in the wind.

And flies down again. Light and

swift. Also...

Your turn.

Hmm

Swallowboxing is rapid, light, and

fast. Every limb has to be

used to attack the enemy.

Right.

The swallow fly.

Up in the wind.

And fly down. Light and swift.

Cheng Kang, your turn. Sure, all right.

Your lesson could be quite expensive.

You must pay for every bowl that you

break.

Remember, concentrate, never

relax.

The swallow flies up in the wind

and flies down like a squid.

That's one dollar. One dollar.

Hey, sit down,

sir.

Check, please. Oh,

yes, of course.

Mr. Your

tea.

Hey.

More wine. Look at that. What's with him?

I don't know. I think maybe he's fancy.

Do you think so?

Hey mister, what would you like?I want

some beef and some wine.

Ohh

I'm sorry, sorry

Go away.

Hold it.

I did apologize. You went too far. So

what?

You pay me.

You want to leave?No way.

Two trays. Five cents.

Pay up.

Mantis.

Stunning leg.

You can fly, huh

You fired a bit, but I'll tell you this,

you're no expert. Huh

Anything else?

Yeah, Chai style. Where'd you learn

that?You a Chai?

Had enough?

Chai style's not bad, but still, not good

enough.

What a whore

Mister, want some bean curd?

No, thanks. Just want you. Mister, behave

yourself.

But everybody knows what kind of woman

you are, huh

Stop it! Let me go! Let her go!

You again. Let

go. And what if I don't?

Mister, please spare him! I beg you! Hmm

For the next time we meet, you

better look out.

Jinke.

You're so kind. You were trying toprotect

me. Hey, Jin Kang! HuhWhat's going on

here?What's happened?

Nothing. Right, let's go

practice. Jin Kang!

Let's go.

You living there like that, with that

woman, isn't a good thing. Ah

Yeah, I know. But still... You know

it?But you still live there?

You...

All right, it's ready. Hey, what are we

doing?18th swallow. Let's

go.

What is this?The

18th swallow relies upon high jumping.

That's what I'll teach you. Like this!

Hey! What are you doing?

Hey! Hey

Hey Uh, you dumb! Watch me!

Hey, not like that! It's like this!

Hey, get up now, and you follow me! Come

You okay?You okay?You

You're not going.

Want to go back to that woman?

So you want my help?Do you agree?

Well, I'm a very practical man. I do

nothing without some reward. Go on.

Well, how did you expect to pay me, huhHmm

Pa Yin. I

agree.

Chen Kang is Chai Yan Hai?He

uses Chai style. He has to be.

All the Chais ought to die.

He's back.

You Chai Yan Hai?

Where are you going?

Wanna leave?

Kill him. I'm not a killer.

I said kill him.

I only fight the top experts.

Why don't you kill him?You kill him! You

kill him!

I see why his brotherdecided to jilt you.

I'd

like to test your swallowboxing. Well,

help yourself.

Swallow jam.

Swallow me.

The stallion hens.

God!

Who are you?

Chi Yoon Hai. Chi Yoon Hai!

Cha Yun Hai. It's

your fault. Teacher's dead.

Who did it?Who

was it?

She's Shen Ying. Because of you,

many have died. It's your fault.

Take Dad's buddy back home

and bury him. But our

revenge.

I have a plan.

Tell you later. Wait for me.

Ba Ying fights too well. By yourself,

you'd die.

Don't worry. I'll be all right.

I'll see you.

Chen Ying. Chai Yun Hai.

Two families nearly gone, and

it's all because of you.

You satisfied?You can't say

that. And why not?

Was because of you. My dad died.

Shen Ying. Oh, go away!

Tai Ying.

You seem very nervous. AhCarry on

practicing, 'cause you're gonna need it.

HuhNot too bad.

HuhSwan-o-boxing?

Watch for his stallion hands.

Scissors.

HuhSolo style. Was Shen your

teacher?My dad. Now
