Crouching dragon.

Break through.

Swing tail.

Pray to Buddha.

Crossed swords.

Planting flowers.

Butterfly dance.

Crossing winds.

Crane beak.

Flying cat.

Long tiger.

The stabbing crane.

Scratching legs.

Tiger legs.

Ah, that's great, that's great, magnificent.

Morning, how are you?

Oh, fine, Sao Ling.

Now I shall show you my technique.

Listen, that looks like the Eagle's Claw.

Not an eagle, a wolf.

A wolf?

Watch.

Now this is called Fishing the Moon.

Confounding.

Moth Mouth.

That's better than Crane Beak.

This one's called

Grabbing the Buns.

Hay!

Grabbing buns, well, we'll see about that.

Get back, go on, here.

Come on now.

As you can see, I still haven't found

a technique that can beat my wife.

You get back here, you hear me?

Uh, Sao Chen, hi.

What, tired?

Eh, right, let's practice, eh?

Ah, how was I?

Your postures are good.

Still, they're not really practical.

Huh, that's so?

So you're saying that I can't fight?

Do you think so?

Well, try me.

Hey, you mean it.

Hey, now wait.

Seen your face?

How do you like that?

How do you like that?

You, you creep!

It makes you look like a school teacher.

You with that mustache look like a pimp.

You.

You.

You!

You, you, you push off!

Hey, your kung-fu is good.

Where did you actually learn it then?

I go to a school, Dragon Gym.

I'd like to see it.

Would you take me along?

Hmm, all right.

Heh, that's pretty lousy.

Your strikes are all lacking in strength.

Right, hit me.

Huh?

Teacher, you're sure?

Hit.

Not bad.

Huh?

Teacher, you mean I hit good?

No, I don't.

I mean you'll make a good masseur.

Right, hit me.

Ooh.

Well, that was a lot better then.

Thanks very much, sir.

All right.

But the main thing is to be able to react quickly.

Strike at my head, go on.

What are you waiting for?

Well, go ahead.

Teacher, you said your head.

Well, what I said was to react fast,

that's the main thing.

Now, let's try again.

Now use both your hands.

You should have blocked that one.

But teacher, you were holding my hands, though.

Hey, he's behind with his fees.

Hey, but your legs were free.

You could have used those.

That's what I meant.

You must react fast.

Now answer this.

Yes, teacher.

What do you do when you meet a foe, tell me.

I meet a foe?

I get mad.

Once more, tell me again what you do?

We get mad,

and make sure

we strike first.

That's right.

Keep practicing.

One.

Two.

It's funny,

Su Ling wants to know what my technique is.

But she didn't ask who my teacher is.

So then, I haven't told her.

But still, even if I did, I doubt she'd believe me,

because my teacher is the movies.

Everything I know, I learned from the movies,

and that way I can learn and enjoy myself.

Every movie I see, I learn a bit more.

Dragon Fist, Tiger Fist,

Drunken Fist, Cat Fist, Rooster and Duck Fist.

I know them all, all learned from the movies.

Whatever they show, I learn every one.

As it is, I'm not too bad.

Maybe I could fight better than some of the actors.

Some of them aren't all that good.

I'm better.

Yeah.

Su Ling says I'm not bad looking.

Still, she's never seen me in a kung-fu costume,

like in the movies.

I reckon I'd look real good.

Hah, yeah.

If I was lucky, I might get a break,

be a big star.

Perhaps even as big as Bruce Lee was.

Just think, I could earn a fortune.

Hah, think about that.

That'd shake 'em all, huh?

All right now.

Good evening folks.

We pleasure in presenting

that well-known local kung-fu expert,

a kung-fu champion, Mr. Mar Tak.

Well now, folks,

if anyone thinks he's not bad at kung-fu,

then please step up here, and Mr. Mar

will oblige with a friendly contest.

Come on, try your luck, come on.

If anyone can last for three minutes,

then they can win a special prize,

a banker's draft for $3,000.

3,000.

Well come on now, who'd like to try?

Come on.

Hey, what are you on?

Hey, you going?

Sure, $3,000.

Hey, hey!

Now here we have a gentleman

who'd like to test Mr. Mar,

so let's start the watch.

All right, ready?

Hey, hey.

Hey, now listen, are you all right?

Okay, okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Now let's see how long the gentleman lasted.

He didn't quite make three seconds!

Why did you try?

I knew you didn't have a chance.

Would anyone else like to try, then?

Hey, think I'd make it?

Well, you don't perform too good.

Well, here's another contender.

Okay, okay, that's enough.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Well, he lasted 30 seconds, that's not bad at all.

Now if there's anyone else would like to have a go

for the $3,000, come on up and try your luck.

All right there, you good people,

this is your last chance.

Hey, what's this?

You're nuts.

3,000.

Hey!

Another contender now.

Huh, what's this?

What's going on?

Well, well I thought I'd have a try.

Now excuse me.

Three minutes 30.

Three minutes 30!

Three minutes 30!

Thank you, thanks a lot, thanks.

Where'd you like to go to?

That's up to you.

Come on, you say.

Hey, hey boss.

What is it?

Well now, it's about that 3,000.

You got the nerve to ask for the money?

You can consider yourself damn lucky you weren't fired!

Never mind.

I thought you were really great.

This is for you.

Ah, come on, nevermind that idiot.

Cheapskate.

Help me, robbers!

Help me!

Hey, you go that way, I'll go here.

Come on.

Stop, hold it, or I'll fire!

Hold it!

Listen, what's wrong?

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, sleep well?

Listen, can I go now, all right?

Your name.

Chen Ping-Shang.

Your age?

22.

Oh, Captain.

Get anything?

No sir, nothing yet.

Hmm.

Hey, listen, why is he saluting me then?

Hah, come on, don't kid me,

he's giving you the sign.

Oh.

Got it?

Sure I have.

I used to be a member.

Ah, he's admitted it.

Well, what's wrong with the Boy Scouts then?

Hah.

You searched him?

Oh, sure.

He had two flowers, and some cents.

Two Flower Gang.

Oh, oh sure.

What's your rank?

Just a waiter, but I'm hoping soon to get promoted.

Why were you running around the streets

so late at night then, eh?

It's just a habit I've got.

We don't close til quite late,

I can't afford a taxi, and there's no buses at that time.

Hah, where are you working?

Kam Bo Night Club.

As what?

I'm a waiter, and a freelance performer.

Performer, too.

What do you do then, you sing?

I'm not a singer.

What then?

I do somersaults.

Do somersaults?

Captain, I think the kid's lying.

Hey, you do somersaults?

Then show us.

Captain, all right?

All right.

There you go.

Captain, this guy's a nut!

You're the nut, bringing this fellow in

and wasting my time.

Sir.

Sao Chen.

Eh, so they let you go?

How come they let you out then, huh?

It was a mistake.

They found out that it wasn't me, and they released me.

Listen, you were real lucky there.

Spacious rooms to let.

Hmm, not a bad area.

Wonder what the rent is.

Oh, hey, what are you doing?

Go away!

Listen you live here?

Go on, you've got to get out of here.

Go on.

Listen, can I see the rooms?

Oh, just get out of here, go on.

You're going to ruin everything!

What is this?

Hey, cut, cut, cut!

Get off, what are...

What are you trying to do?

Hold it there, hold it.

Now hold it, what is this?

Hey, director.

The woman there is supposed to be my wife, right?

Right.

I'm supposed to killer her lover.

But who's he?

Well, I don't know.

Hey, what do you want?

I...

I'm here shooting Crazy Man.

He's the crazy man.

Who the hell are you?

Looking for a room.

A room?

You want to see it?

Right, I'll show you, come on, here.

Go on, take a look.

It's just a film set.

Well, of course it is, and I'm shooting a film here.

Go on, so push off.

Get out of here, go on.

Hmm, stupid idiot.

Hey.

Push off, dog.

Hey, who's watering the plants, then?

Hey, Sao Chen.

What you crying for?

Here, wipe your face.

What's wrong, somebody bully you?

Oh, let's practice kung-fu.

I'm much too tired, I just want to sleep.

Hey, think my kung-fu's good?

It's all right.

Hey, I tell you what, you come and study at my school.

You're sure that I'm not better than your teacher?

Hmm, you are not!

Who says so?

Anyway, why does a girl want to learn kung-fu?

Use it to catch a husband?

Listen, I learn it just in case I'm mugged.

If I was, you'd see.

Hey.

What do you want?

To rob you.

Oh?

Right?

Sao Chen, watch this.

Oh my God, you killed me.

Come on, let's get her.

Challenge style!

Nylon Spring legs.

Hey, come on, hurry up.

Help me, eh?

They too much?

Now come on, help me.

Hey, watch out!

Hey, we're armed.

You keep back.

You!

Get them!

Let's get them, come on.

Give me that!

Hey, I'll take you to my teacher.

Hmm.

Right.

What's wrong with you?

Too many late nights, huh?

Teacher's busy now.

Let's sit down a while.

Wooden men.

Yeah.

A Chen, this one.

That's the same.

Hmm, think so?

Try it.

Just the same.

Ow, ow!

Hey, look.

Hello.

Hi.

What is this?

Why are you in there?

Well, one of them is solid, the other's hollow.

It's the teacher's trick.

Hey, listen, why you again?

Haven't paid my fees in three months.

Hey, he's coming, cover me.

Take a rest now.

Oh.

Teacher.

Ah, so you're here.

Of course.

My friend wants to learn kung-fu.

Oh, you want to learn, huh?

Yeah.

You've studied before?

Sure.

Hong Wing Style, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Judo.

Also uh...

Oh, that's enough.

But which one of them can you do well?

Why, all of them.

Huh, what a big head.

Right, well, we'll try you out.

Hey, Chang, come here.

Teacher?

Well, Chang, you have a try with him.

All right, shall we start?

Please.

Come on, come on, come on.

How's that?

Oh my God, you're good.

You're really good, you.

I'm beaten up.

Well, it seems that you do

know a few good tricks.

Well, all right, come on then, try with me.

All right.

Tae Kwon Do.

Hung Style.

Judo.

What's the time?

Huh?

Where's my watch?

Right here.

And that's called the Exchange Style.

Over there.

Over there.

The watch.

Enough.

Sure, give me my watch.

Your watch?

Why, of course.

You got it?

Though you had it.

It's not here.

Not here.

Another hand then?

I got it, see?

Impressed?

Sao Ling, you're good.

Hey, listen, know her?

You bet I do.

It's her the one who had me locked up.

Oh, her.

Oh, she's an air hostess.

She's going to wish that she was back on her plane.

Hey, what'll you do?

Wait and see.

Hey, what now?

Bust her car.

Oh, hey!

Now wait.

I just learned a kicking technique, so let me.

Sure.

Right.

Oh, oh God.

Quick.

What the hell are you doing?

I'll kill you!

God damn bitch.

- Hey. - What?

Listen, why not bust in the glass?

Yeah, sure.

All right.

Easy now, careful.

I got it!

It's the wrong glass!

Come on!

Damn you, what do you think you're doing?

Come here!

This way, come on, let's go, let's find them.

Hey, what now?

Shh, I know, watch me.

I'll slash her tires, that'll fix her.

Look at those tires.

They're nearly worn out.

Got a knife?

Yes.

Give it to me.

But it's new.

You again.

Don't go.

I looked for you.

Me?

What for?

I wanted to apologize.

That business the other night was all a mistake.

I'm really very sorry.

Now, I live in that building.

Do drop in when you've time.

Okay.

See you, bye.

Bye.

Hey, Mr. Chen.

Yeah?

What now?

A passenger just gave me this bottle of candy.

You take it.

That's all right.

Take it.

I've got one just like this.

I guess that must mean you really like this kind.

Here.

Bye bye.

Sao Chen, um...

What?

My father said to tell you

that he would like you to move out.

Throwing me out?

Still, you needn't go, 'cause I disagree.

Thanks a lot.

Have a candy.

Thanks.

Mrs. Ling, have one.

Hmm.

Like one?

Hm mm.

I'll never finish these.

Two bottles.

Hao Wa.

Yes.

Are you sure that's the girl who's got the candies?

Sure, boss.

I pretended to give them to her

to get them through the customs.

Pretty smart, I thought.

Not too bad.

Hey boss, once me make the sale, what's the split?

Well, I've been thinking.

Since you've been working hard,

we'll split it evenly.

Let's get going, and see that girl.

Ow.

What's wrong?

What's wrong Su Ling, eh?

This candy has glass in it.

Glass?

What glass?

Let's see that.

Hey, who gave it to you?

It was Ah Chen.

You know what he's trying to do?

He's trying to kill you.

Right, damn him, he offered them to us, too.

He wants to kill us as well.

Aren't I right?

Oh, what a wicked thing to do!

I'm going to call the cops.

Right.

Report him...

Hold it!

It's not?

What is it?

What is it?

It's a diamond.

Diamond?

Diamond, are you sure of that?

I've been selling diamonds for years now.

I should know.

Diamonds, I've never seen anything like this before.

Not me.

Father, and what's more, he's got a whole bottle of them.

You should have taken the whole bottle.

You, you're the one who really caught it,

you should have taken it.

I turned down a fortune too!

What are we going to do?

Right, this is it.

No, it's this one.

It's here, this one.

That's the name.

Quick, quick, get started.

Quick, huh, hurry.

This hole is too small.

Right, that's it.

Got it.

Good.

Shh.

Right, you search there.

You, over there.

Right.

And me, I'll search here.

And look well.

We must find it, hmm?

All right.

Ah, ah, thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Ah, Sao Chen, and me?

You too?

Yes.

Here.

Thank you, thank you.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

I'll go first.

Go on.

Got it?

Got it?

Well, have you, huh?

Have you?

Nothing, no.

Can't be.

No, nothing, nothing.

Now let me try.

Got it?

Got something, have you?

All right, it's your turn now.

Yeah, right.

Got it?

Wow, you have it.

Yeah, that's great.

Let's see, huh?

That's not a diamond.

That's a piece of gold.

That's what that is.

I am so stupid.

Can't you see it's my gold tooth?

Your tooth?

Bring her here.

Put down.

No, let me go.

Don't move.

Let me go!

All right, now tell me.

Where does he live?

I really don't know.

You're lying!

What now?

Wait.

Now you listen.

You be smart, and go and answer the door.

Any trouble, and I'll cut the girl's face off!

Go on.

Does Miss Chun live here?

Yes.

Is she at home now?

She's inside.

What is it?

When I looked in the bag, I found this purse.

Guess it must be yours.

Well, all right, I'll go now.

Right.

Oh, so you've got the candy.

Well, all right.

Hey, now look, what is this?

What do you want?

Hey, wait.

What are you doing in Chen's room?

We're his friends.

Hey you tell us, where's the candy?

Okay boss, we got them.

Let's go then.

Huh?

What, me?

Oh, ow!

Now get him.

Yes?

It's you.

What is it?

Someone was just here with a whole bunch

of diamonds for sale.

I'm sure it's the fellow that you're looking for.

I'm having him tailed.

Good, well done.

See you.

Bye.

Let them fight it out, I'll take the diamonds.

Come on.

That side.

That side.

Ma, do you like it, huh?

Oh, it must have cost a lot, but it's nice.

Huh?

Let's go.

My friend, I'll bet you think

you're real smart, eh?

But still, even if you are, I'm a lot smarter.

And I've got you now.

All right, you listen.

I'm not scared of you at all.

And if you really are smart, we'll sit and talk.

If you want to be dumb, then we'll fight.

I don't mind either way.

Right, I agree.

We can talk this over like gentlemen.

Hold these.

You give me back what I want, and I'll leave.

I won't harm you.

And if I don't?

I'm afraid you'll die here.

Oh, so you only want the candies.

That's no problem.

Here, buy some more.

She really means it.

My candies are a little bit different.

There's a big diamond in the middle of every one.

A diamond, is that so?

Well?

Don't kill him.

All right, take them.

Hold it!

Right, so you're trying to be

smart again, and trick me, eh?

No.

Shut up!

Oh, I got it.

The bottle was switched, but not by us.

By whom?

By the diamond dealer.

Let's go.

Right.

What?

He's dead?

Somebody killed him and took the diamonds.

Must be you.

Not me.

Who was it?

I don't know.

You do.

Talk!

Still, I know where they are.

Tell me.

Come along.

Hey, all right, the diamonds, where are they then?

The diamonds are there.

See, that's Mr. Wong's other house.

And the stones are with his wife, right?

Right, right, that's right.

Well, we'll go and get them, and you wait here.

Okay?

All right.

Come on.

What do we do now?

- I don't know. - Must think.

Boss, it's only a film set!

Come on!

Right.

Look, we'll split up, and we'll meet up later.

Come on.

That way!

Quick, in there.

Check in here.

You want your picture taken?

Be right with you.

Hey, what's going on here then?

Oh, it's just a wedding.

Huh, we'll look around.

Well, help yourselves.

You two stay here, I'll check the back.

Right.

Now let's get started.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Bye bye.

Hey, hey!

Hey, you two, come back here.

What's wrong?

Don't know.

Hey, you two, come back here, come back here!

What's wrong?

That couple there, they stole my wedding dresses.

Come back!

Must be them.

Yeah, right.

Come on.

Teacher, teacher!

Come on, in here.

Shh!

Why'd you hit me?

- You hit us. - You hit me first.

Not me.

Hey, must be someone here.

Let's search.

Hey, hey.

Shh.

Go on, hit it.

You fool, hit it.

Well, hit it.

Ow, ow, why the hell'd you do that?

You stupid fool!

You told me to.

Hey, look.

Ah, it's gone!

Robot.

Come on.

Go on.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is urgent.

She's pregnant.

And so what?

So are ours, too.

Hey, in there.

What are you going to do with this?

Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife

in the eyes of both God and the law,

to have and to hold for as you as both may live?

I do, I do.

And do you take this man here to be

your lawful wedded husband in the eyes

of both God and the law, to have and to hold

for as long as you both may live?

Well, please answer.

Do you?

I do.

Well now, will you please go ahead

and exchange your rings, then.

Rings?

Well, my boy, you did bring the rings?

Hey, listen, you've got a ring with you.

That diamond ring.

Of course, so what?

Hey come on, give it me.

No way.

Hurry up and let him have the ring.

Hey, come on, hurry.

All right, and yours.

Eh?

Hurry.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Really?

Let's go.

Bye bye, bye bye.

Excuse me.

And may God bless you.

Bye bye.

Come on, quick.

Well, even for a newly married couple,

those two seem in an awful hurry, don't they?

You hide over there, go on.

Hey, you check down there.

Right.

Don't stand there, come help me.

Watch out.

After you.

Help me, get me out of here.

Help me, get me out.

Come on, quick, come on.

Sao Chen!

Su Ling!

- Sao Chen. - Su Ling.

Huh, what's this?

Ai Ying?

Look, that gang grabbed her,

but they can't have got very far.

Let's go.

Right.

Get back.

Get back, or I'll kill her!

You hear?

Get back.

Heh, that cyst of his was false, full of diamonds.

Look, clear off.

We'll take care of him.

Go on, quick.

Come on.

Teacher.

Teacher.

Teacher.

Well, what's wrong with you two?

A guy wants to kill us.

Teacher, there he is.

That's him.

You go on, I'll take him.

Go on.

Teacher, be careful.

Hey, let's fine Ai Ying.

All right.

Enough, eh?

We've not finished yet!

Ai Ying, Ai Ying!

Ai Ying!

Ai Ying!

Ai Ying!

Sao Chen, Su Ling.

Ai Ying, you all right?

Oh, sure.

And the diamonds?

Here.

Right, let's go.

Hold it!

Hey, you!

Ah, so there's the diamonds.

Do you want to know who had them?

It was your boss.

We took them from him.

He killed the buyer and he hid the diamonds in his cyst.

But we found them, though.

Well, come on, let's get him.

So, that's it, huh?

You wanted the whole lot.

Double crosser.

Look, no, no, I'll pay.

No, hang on, let's talk about this.

Look, wait, be patient now.

We can talk this over.

We're all together, right?

We're all together, you know.

Damn you!

Hah!
