Original subtitles

Drunken fighting, extant over 1 ,000 years

revolved from "Drunken immortals" kung-fu. . .

created originally by the hero Wu Sung

its extraordinary forms are unfathomable...

its footwork, expecially, are fatal

Hand and foot moves aim for fatal spots.

lt has no equal among kung-fu styles

during the late Ching, it was known to all. . .

in the Chiangnan region

lts most outstanding students...

were Fan Ta-pei and Beggar Su

their hard practice and mutual affection...

form an interesting legend in themselves

why the two separated

for 30 years of drinking

is a secret of the fighting fraternity

Yu-lu

Heroes do not shed tears easily...

Only if they are not heart-broken

Who might you be?

Your eyes must be bad

We met at Kaifeng 3 years ago, Knight Fan!

May l ask your revered name?

Chang Wu-ch-l've sought you two months

Something l can do for you?

Teach me the 18 falls of the lmmortals

We've been friends-why be enemies?

Come-let's get a drink!

No, now that l've found you...

l want to see

which of us is the best

Please give me the honor, Knight Fan!

Come on-let's have a drink first

Your drinking days are about over

What do you mean?

Have you heard of the killer Chou Lien-chan?

Chou Lien-chan

No, and l have no quarrel with him

He's chief disciple of Tiger Yeh

You killed Tiger Yeh, and

he'll come for you!

lt's been 30 years-why bring that up?

Show me your stuff

before you die

En garde, Knight Fan

You're playing this for real!

l wouldn't joke about it!

My wine

Stay away from my good wine

This 18 falls of the Drunken lmmortals!

l admit defeat, Knight Fan

Great work!

Can we have a drink now?

Knight Fan

Knight Fan

Knight Fan

Knight Fan

Here's a letter for you, Knight Fan!

Nightsweet Premium Wine

Big Cup Fan?

Beggar Su?

Nightsweet Premium!

Let's go steal some "crystal" grapes

How long has this wine been fermented?

Thirty years, at least

Master Chang

What is it, Ah-fang?

The boss is waiting for you in the vineyard

Okay, you go on, l'll be right there

l go first...Okay!

This is the best harvest ever!

Ah-fang, you devil! Stop crashing around!

What're you in such a rush for

you idiot?

l'm racing with Master Chang

l left that old fellow 80 feet behind!

Eighty feet behind?

Who...who's that?

Somebody's stolen the grapes!

Yes...for the third time already!

Can we still make Night-sweet Premium?

They really know their stuff, to steal here

Come! A thousand coppers a string!

Come! Crystal grapes! Real crystal grapes!

A rare chance! A thousand coppers a string!

Crystal grapes, come...

Come on!

Taste them-real crystal grapes!

You can only get them here!

Real crystal grapes

Only here...Taste them

Taste them-only 1 ,000 coppers a string!

Have a taste, everybody!

Eight hundred coppers-800 a string!

Real crystal grapes, 800 a string!

Six hundred a string! Get them here!

Wait a minute, sir-500 coppers!

Four hundred-just 400 a string!

Just 400 coppers a string!

Damn it! Three hundred!

Two hundred! l'm generous today!

Now l'm mad! One hundred a string!

A hundred coppers!?

Not even a hundred! Take them free!

Don't leave!

Don't go! They're free!

They're all free! They don't cost a cent!

Come here and have some!

Come on-eat as much as you like!

Bastard!

What? Why are you ruining my business?

You're trying to take my business away?

What do you want to do?

Me? To beat you!

You'd beat someone!?

What a hard bean curd!

Bean curd!?

Don't forget this!

l'll give you a ghost charm isn't it pretty?

l'll give you another leg

l'll give you two fists

Watch my "old man pushing a cart"!

l'll beat you!

l'll do the beating!

l'll kill you!

Where'd you come from?

l...He...

Where'd your crystal grapes come from?

Speak up!

Picked! l picked them!

Nonsense!

Sure they didn't fall from the sky?

Speak up! Where'd you pick them?

At...

At South...

At the South-hill plot?

Nanking's 18 mounts, fleet horse on the road

A boat sailing before the wind

carried it over with great difficulty!

How about you?

So far!

Monkey somersaulted 18,000 miles

l took the grapes and lifted my heels

and walked 109,200 miles!

l still think you got them from South-hill!

l'm warning you two

Those grapes belong to Clearwater Winery!

What!? You accuse me of stealing them!?

l didn't say that!

Do you mean me, then!?

l didn't say that, either!

l'll fix you, if you call me a thief!

l won't let you off, either!

What are you doing?

Beat you for calling us thieves!

Don't run! Stop!

You again!?

Fate brings us together, from however far

l bet your 109,200 miles are right here!

Right beside your Nanking's 18 mounds!

Oh no-here comes Mr. Ugly!

A basket of grapes isn't worth this!

Two heads think better than one

Let's talk this thing over!

Yes, we walk on two legs

We can't let a quadruped best us!

The loser will lead the dog away

Tiger! Snake!

Dragon! Mantis!

Crane!

My crane will eat your mantis!

lf a man's unlucky, he'll see ghosts in the sun?

Pick a little more!

Can l ask your name!

lt's Fan-Big-cup Fan!

Now we know your name, if you're killed

we can set up a spirit tablet for you!

l'm leaving, then

Dame it!

This string will have to be paid for!

Who are you?

The bill collector!

Bill collector

Whose bill are you collecting?

You almost cost me my livelihood

How could l not settle accounts with you?

What do you mean by that!?

You picked 28 strings of my grapes tonight!

Each string contains 1 1 3 grapes

making a total of 3,164 grapes in all

That means you owe 253, 700 coppers

l won't take anymore or any less

Pay and go

or l'll take your eyes...

to ferment into my Night-sweet Premium Wine

Trying to run away!

Move another inch, and instead of hat...

l'll have your eyeballs in my hand

Want to run!?

Help! Help!

Don't shout-l've been hanging here all day

What a ridiculous way to fail, Brother

We're hung on the tip of a straw!

What damned rotten luck!

Hey! You two were stealing my grapes

together!

l have a mother 80 years old

and 20-some dependents waiting to eat

Please find forgiveness in your heart!

Then from now on work to pay your debts

Put the two packages there

Okay

Pile them a little higher!

Hurry!

Lazy bones

Faster! Faster!

Hurry-step on it

Step on it...

Harder!

Step on it...

Harder!

Get on up there

None of your business!

l can't support it anymore, Brother!

This old boy wants to starve us to death

Who asked us to steal grapes?

Oh grapes, our fate is to starve!

Steamed cornbread!

Come back!

Don't fight anymore

Bring it here!

Don't fight anymore

Mine! Mine! lt's mine!

Catch!

Where'd it go?

Where?

Still want to run? Bring it here!

Give it back

This mine

lt's mine.

This sun is truly essence of sun and moon!

Even with little talent, it'll burn out!

They're fighting over cornbread, Master!

Where'd it come from?

lt fell from heaven!

Give it back!

lt's mine

One piece each!

Eat slowly-don't choke on it

Anymore? Let's have another one!

Thanks...you're truly my savior!

Anymore? Let's have another one!

Catch!

Catch!

lt's a mud ball!

Bringing it 1 ,000 miles is nothing!

One side, one side!

Let's go, let's go

Attention! Pay the fees today

No trickery! No lagging!

lt's your bad luck!

These two will be your example

Weren't the fees collected two days ago?

Not so loud! You tired of living?

Let's go!

Stop!

Turn over the money

l only took in this much all day!

How can l?

So what!?

Come on, come on

Turn over the money

Bring it here!

l've paid the fee everyday, Master

But business was bad today

Please be patient!

Don't think you can put it off!

Stop! You bastards

You drink the people's blood!

Let's see how fast you can kill me!

Beat him!

You bully as too much!

Well, go teach them a lesson!

Okay!

Use this

Okay

What are you doing?

Let us borrow this for a minute!

Stop! What are you doing?

Go after you've paid the fees!

Fees? What fees?

l don't have any money!

l have a life, though!

That's enough!

l'll see how hard your bones are!

Go quickly!

Why pretend to be tough man?

They were being bullied too terribly!

lt doesn't show, but you have some humanity

You may actually be worth something!

Just so yu know our hearts

Don't make so much trouble for us

Learn a little kung-fu

and we won't!

Learn kung-fu!?

The 18 falls of the Drunken lmmortals!

The 18 falls of the Drunken lmmortals!

You'll know

when you learn it well

Who'll teach us kung-fu?

Kowtow to the master

Get up!

To learn kung-fu, you must suffer!

You're putting me on!

l learned from Master!

You've got a long way to go!

lt's fixed

Come here

Head down, head up, head down

Head up

What a difference between master and student!

ldiot!

Two nuts!

He fights with sleeping kung-fu!

Find Master Chang! Hurry!

Stuffing off again!

You've become an alcoholic!

A drink!

Whoever gets Nightsweet Premium, drinks it

l brought you here to ferment wine

not to drink it! Understand!?

Drinking a bit gives you power!

Nonsense! Don't make excuses!

Bull! You just won't believe it!

l don't care-next time l catch you drinking

l'll have Dad chase you off!

Master's "eagle claw" kung-fu is powerful

Take a good lesson for us

Spoken well!

Please teach us a stance or two, Master!

Attack me all together!

Excuse me, Master!

Want to run?

Speak-why do you want to assassinate me?

You left us no other way out!

So, we just try it

Die! lt's not up to you

Turn them over to Lord Chao tomorrow

l'll kill whoever resists!

Really?

lt's a secret that l learned about

Chang Seventh of th winery knows it too?

Those two guys who smashed us last time. . .

They must been sent by Chang Seventh!

We've surely created a deep enmity!

l talked to a winery worker...

They said Chang Seventh loves to drink...

and then practice Drunken lmmortals fighting

Lately, he's taken in two disciples

and taught them kung-fu

They're not bad, l hear!

Okay-find a way to get him here!

We'll try him, and kill him if necessary

This jade nine-dragon cup is our heirloom

Emperor Chien Lung liked it very much

Very nice

How nice for a common fellow to use it!

Come on-bottoms up!

Please have some tea, sir

A toast to you!

Fine, fine...

We'll drink until we're drunk!

Right-have some more! Some more!

No, no-that's dangerous!

lt's best not to drink too much

Come on, have a drink! Have a drink!

No, no...

You've had a lot-l'll help you inside

Who says l'm drunk? l'm no drunk!

What's this? Playing for keeps?

Right-l wasn't your life for keeps

Oh, no. Master's falling-down drunk!

Don't stay here

We've got to find a way to save him!

Can we do it?

Yes-with this!

Let's go, Master!

Let's go

Now you've offended Master Yeh!

Do you understand!?

This is his land, and the lease is up!

To be able to keep doing business here

l flatter him when l can

Now you've made trouble for me get out!

Get out! Out!

Didn't you hear me?

Out!

Yes-out! Out!

Go, or l'll lie you up

and send you to Mr.Yeh

to be beaten!

Best beat you to death

to save trouble!

l told you so many times

not to bother him!

lt just goes in one ear and out the other!

Just pick up your wages and get out!

Yu-lu!

Here's 30 dumplings for the road

Please talk to Boss. We can't leave!

Why not?

We stayed here for someone

That's right!

You'll just waste your time by staying

No-where there's a will, there's a way!

l won't ever agree!

What?

You won't let us study kung-fu?

You mean you stayed for Master Chang?

Would we stay for you!?

You two have no conscience at all!

Yu-lu...

Yu-lu...

Are you angry with me?

l know l said something wrong...

but l didn't mean to hurt you

Don't cry anymore, okay?

l'm apologizing to you, Yu-lu!

Look at me!

l swear l won't say it again!

Ta-pei

Where are you, Ta-pei?

Ta-pei

Out of the way!

Out of the way!

What are you doing?

Any orders, Brother Chin?

Where's the old fellow called Chang Seventh?

He went to gather some wine-making materials

He stole our master's nine-dragon jade cup

lf you can't find him by tomorrow

Then just move this winery out of here!

Yes-please report to the master

that l want to keep renting this place

The rental's up 30 per cent

About the nine-dragon cup...

l'll surely make him to give me back!

Stop!

What are you doing?

come to give back the nine-dragon jade cup

give back the nine-dragon's jade cup?

Give way, be quick!

Bastard, you dare come to start trouble?

The cup's broken! Report it to Master!

What!? The nine-dragon jade cup is broken?

l deserve death!

Where are they?

Go tear down the winery!

Bring Chang Seventh in, dead or alive!

Right!

Hello, Brother Chin!

You have some more orders?

Get Chang Seventh out there!

Your timing's bad-he's on the mountain!

Search the place!

What're you doing, Brother Chin?

He really isn't here!

Mr. Wang, Master wants to build a house here

You'll have to move out!

Come here!

Here!

Tear down the winery!

Tear it down!

Tear it down!

What are you doing!?

You've got to let me explain!

Brother Chin

Brother Chin

Please! l beg you! Don't ...

Father!

Why did they hit you, Father?

Why'd they beat you this way!?

Father!

l'll make you pay for this!

Let me go! Let me go!

Father!

Let go!

Miss...

Father!

l'll make you pay for this!

Father!

Father! Ah-fang!

Let me go!

Don't beat him anymore!

Father!

Father!

Father...Father...

Come a little closer!

A little higher

Chang Seventh, the winery's master

Why did you kill them, Tiger Yeh!?

Why did you so cruel?

Old Mr. Wang was good to you

l'll teach you the meaning of faithlessness!

Come here!

Yes!

Take this girl back!

Seventh Uncle! Seventh Uncle!

Let me go! Seventh Uncle!

Where's master?

Where's Yu-lu?

Master! Master!

Master!

Master!

Ah-fang!

Oh, no-we're too late!

Let's go to Tiger Yeh's house

Let's go

You let me go!

Let me go

Brother Fan! Brother Su!

You let me go!

Yu-lu!

Where's Seventh Uncle, Yu-lu?

Where?

What about the Nightsweet Premium, Master?

Go quickly!

Which way should we go, Master?

There! This is the Mount Eight lmmortals.

l often gather medicine there!

There's a cave where we can hide there

Let's go in!

Tiger Yeh won't find us for a while there

Master! Master!

Seventh Uncle

Let's go in.

Get some dragon-gall grass

to cure my wound with

Go on! Go on!

Rest a while and you'll be okay, Uncle

Look, Big-cup!

Shoot it with your coin and my tiger tooth!

Wake up, Seventh Uncle

l'm thirsty, Yu-lu-get me some water

l'll worry about you here alone

l'll be okay-go on, and hurry back!

l know there's a cave up there

They're in there for sure!

Divide in two groups and surround them!

Okay!

Let's go!

Seventh Uncle!

l knew you'd pass by here

Enemies are bound to meet

l've already chosen this place

To be our grave!

This fine White Cloud Mountain

Master arranged it all

His purpose in having us come in

was to learn this kung-fu well!

l think his arrangements will be right!

Let's go ask Master

Right! Let's go!

Yu-lu!

Master...

Master...

Where's Yu-lu?

Yu-lu...

Take care of her well

Hurry up! Take care of Tiger Yeh!

Hurry up and take care of him

Master...

Arhat lies in wait for the tiger

Phoenix spreads its wings

Wu Sung passes over the hill

Fish passes through the dragon gate

Chung-li falls right and left with his fan

The silver mat is rolled in a circle

Wu Sung passes the hill again

Cloud hands, both feet flying

Grab the tiger's head and choke it

Phoenix on a hill faces the sun

Gold hook lowers the shade

Li Po falls from his horse...

His head strikes the ground

Ride the tiger and hit the three fatal points

Master...

Yu-lu...

Thirty years have passed since that parting

During these 30 years

You've been in the south, l am in the north

Making kung-fu friends, fighting for the right

They call us "Southern Cup, Northern Jug"

But others don't know

why we drink so much

We drink for sorrow, and for women

The hardest thing to forget is "love"

Drink up, and taste this cornbread

You're...

Don't you remember me?

l'll hold up the sky if it falls!

l'll support the mountain, if it collapses!

Yu-lu, l'll do what you say!

Just nod to me

Just nod, and l'll do what you say, Yu-lu!

Look at me!

Me!

You get to one side

You get to one side!

You...

What's happened to you?

Both of you get to one side!

Who could make such good Nightsweet wine

except Wang Yu-lu of Clearwater Winery?

You...

You...aren't you already...

Didn't you fall over a cliff!?

Yes-into the water, and someone saved me

lt's a long story-let's have a drink

l never expected to see you again!

Really?

Didn't you write and invite me?

Write!? l didn't write

But l got a letter inviting me here!

l invited you here

30 years...

Father and Uncle died 30 years ago today. . .

l want you to sacrifice to their souls

Don't be sad, Yu-lu!

Don't cry, Yu-lu

You dad's gone, but l'm still here

Master's gone, but l'm left

lf heaven falls, l'll hold it up

lf the mountain collapses, l'll support it

Just nod, and l'll do what you say

Just nod, and l'll do what you say

You go too far-l'm not playing games!

l swear to Heaven!

lf l tell lies, l will die.

Okay-l'll kill you then

Raise a cup to woman kind!

Drink to cover many sorrows

A hero cries only for a true reason

But it isn't time for heartbreak yet!

Stop beating! Stop beating!

You know him, Beggar?

Never seen him before

Could he be Chou Lien-Chan?

Who?

You're so old you can't hear

Was that man looking for you, Ta-pei?

Don't guess you want to go drinking?

Wandering around, looking for friends...

Seeking the land of wine, all for a woman. . .

l'm from north of the pass, Fan Ta-Pei!

Wait for me to come back, Yu-lu!

Ta-pei!

What do you want to do?

l'll have a drink with him, and come back

Of course, your Nightsweet Premium is the best!

Don't believe him-he won't be back!

l am Chou Tien-pa, not Lien-chou.

l have to get instruction of your 18 falls fist.

Beggar'll definitely not escape the challenge

You are not Chien She-chun?

All the same, let me subject you first

Chou Tien-pa, you can't do that

l'm the Killer of Thousands!

l don't want to fight you

We don't always get what we want!

lt's best not to make enemies

En garde!

Wu Sung beats tiger with more-than-half drunk

The 8 fairies terry across with 3 cups of wine

3 cups wine

Kuai Fai gets drunk and cuddles the king

The king plays drunken Fist to dolly his concubine.

The beggar likes wine and will not get drunk

Ta-pei's capacity of wine exceeds King of Sea

Yu-lu!

Beggar!

Where's he?

Yu-lu!

Beggar!
