Eggs.

Eggs.

Tang lung?

Miss chen ching-hua?

Yes.

Why are you running around
instead of waiting for me at the gate?

The plane arrived early. I was hungry,
so I went and grabbed a bite.

- How's my uncle in Hong Kong?
- A bit unwell, so I came instead.

He wrote me about you,
but didn't go into detail.

How can you help me?

Please don't stand on ceremony.
I'll help you out myself.

You'll help me yourself?

What do you know about my problem?
You'll tell me about that later.

But first, could you tell me
where the bathroom is?

Is that a BMW?

Or a mustang?

It's a Pegasus!

Dad died last month
and left me the restaurant.

Uncle wang and the others
have helped out a lot.

Business wasn't bad in the beginning.

Then a huge syndicate stepped in.

They're interested in our land
and wanted me to sell the restaurant.

To sell, both parties must agree.
If you refuse, what can they do?

In theory, you're right,
but they won't listen to reason.

They'll do anything
to get their hands on my property.

They've hired some thugs
to watch the place day and night.

If a customer comes in,
they simply drive him away.

What am I to do?

- Why not report it to the police?
- The police?

When the police show up,
the thugs vanish.

We can't ask the police
for round-the-clock protection.

Business has dried up,
yet I still have to pay my workers.

How can I keep up with the expenses?

The thugs have gotten worse lately.
They're demanding an answer.

So I wrote my uncle for help.

I thought he'd send a lawyer, but -

you're very welcome.
I told you not to worry. I'm here to help.

Don't worry, miss chen.
It's nothing. I can take care of them.

Look up there.
That's the syndicate's headquarters.

Please have a seat.

I rent this place.

It's more convenient living here

because all the men live
at the restaurant.

There's always a spare room.

If any of the workers get sick,
they can come here.

It's crowded in the restaurant.

You can stay here for the time being.

You're my uncle's friend,
so please make yourself at home.

If you need anything, just let me know.

May I use the bathroom?

It's over there.

Chinese new year is in a few days.

Everyone in Hong Kong
is happy and celebrating.

Do they celebrate it in Rome?

I haven't been back to Hong Kong
for more than ten years.

I think it's changed a lot.

I'll be like a stranger when I return.

Oh, yes.

How's the restaurant business there now?

I live in the new territories
and seldom go out of town.

I practice martial arts every day.

Restaurants haven't changed much.

Have a seat.

Here's the key.

Our phone numbers
and addresses are on this.

The restaurant is nearby.

If you get lost, just show that card
to a taxi driver and he'll bring you back.

Taxi? It's too expensive here.

- Are there public minibuses?
- Do you need some money?

No, I brought some with me.

Better put it in a bank,
it's safer that way.

No, it's safer to carry it on me.

Much safer than letting others carry it.

I won't argue. How much did you bring?

Not much.

Really, not much.

I still say it's safer in the bank.

Come on.

How much money do you have?
Take it out now.

How much local money will you change?

Only $20.

The exchange rate
has been very bad lately.

That was the bank manager,
not a pickpocket.

You must be more polite.

Not everyone you meet is a villain.

Not everyone you meet is a pickpocket.

Besides, I know that bank manager.

People here are warm and high-spirited.
They're also quite friendly.

When people smile, smile back.
That's being polite.

When someone puts an arm on your shoulder,
it's a sign of friendship.

You should react the same way.

Remember what I've told you
and try not to be so uptight!

Ah lung.

You must be ah lung! Welcome to Rome.

I'm ah gung from miss chen's restaurant.

Brother gung!

Miss chen has returned to the restaurant
after a long wait.

She asked me to take you there.

By the way, where were you just now?

Let's go!

Uncle wang, ah lung is here.

Ah lung, this is uncle wang.

Uncle wang.

Welcome. We're on our own here.
Please have a seat!

- Ah gung, make some tea.
- Okay.

It must have been
a long and tedious flight.

How do you like it here so far?

I certainly haven't gotten
used to things yet.

No matter. You will as time goes on.

It's been a long time
since I was back home.

How are things in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong?
I live in the new territories...

And I seldom go out of town.

Have some tea.

Come, have some tea.

Thank you.

Why are no customers coming
to such a huge restaurant?

Ah lung, with those thugs around,
who'd dare come in here?

Ah lung, there are more workers
training out back.

- Let's go meet them.
- Okay.

Since there's no business,
they spend their time exercising.

Come on!

Before Mr. chen passed away,

they learned karate
to handle the villains.

Why didn't you take it up?

I'm not interested
in foreign martial arts.

It doesn't matter what style

if you can use your body well
without limits

even in the midst of violent movement,

to honestly express oneself.

I prefer Chinese boxing.

- Do you know Chinese boxing?
- Yes!

Really?

Let's take a breather.

Come here.

This is tang lung. Introduce yourselves.

My name is Tony.

Jimmy.

- Thomas.
- Robert.

I don't have an english name.
Call me ah chuan.

Brother chuan.

Come on.

He looks like a coach.

Have you learned any boxing?

Ah lung came from Hong Kong to help us.

He's an expert Chinese boxer.

I'm just a novice.

Chinese boxing?
I understand it's like dancing,

but it sadly lacks power.

You lack power when you haven't
mastered the fundamentals.

Right, how then do you develop power?

By uniting the waist with the stance.

Will you demonstrate
how to unite the waist with the stance?

- I'm afraid I'll hurt someone.
- What are you afraid of?

They'll use protective padding.

They won't get hurt.

We have guests coming.
Change clothes and get to work.

Hurry!

Come on, let's go.

Change clothes and get cracking!

Brother gung, where's the bathroom?

Over there. It's labeled in english.

Thank you.

What's your decision?

- Uncle wang!
- Yes.

Come quick, they're here again!

Stop it!

If you don't send a reply tonight,

don't blame us for getting rough.

Please help us out, Mr. ho.
Put in a good word for us.

Give us a few more days to think it over.

Think it over?

You've been stalling enough.

Are you selling or not?

- How can you hit him?
- Why fight?

Don't fight, please!
We'll only wreck our own things.

Remember, you better send a reply tonight.

Sorry!

Be careful next time.

You don't even know a word of english.
Why did my uncle send you here?

Ah lung, they're young and headstrong.

Don't blame them.
Everything will be all right.

Lucky that they weren't armed today.

In broad daylight?

They wouldn't dare use a gun in public.

If uncle wang hadn't stopped them,
I'd have used karate on them!

You're one to talk!

What good is your karate?

It's still better than Chinese boxing.

People shove you out of the way.

And you even apologized!

Brother gung, get uncle wang out here
to help. You two come to help.

Stay calm. Don't wreck our place.

It's no use.

- Ah lung, you...
- Let's go!

Damn! They know nothing!

They think this is Chinese boxing.

If I knew Chinese boxing,
I'd give them a good taste of it!

I'll go!

Tell him this is Chinese boxing.

The gold dragon fist number four.
"Little dragon asking for direction."

"Big dragon whipping its tail."

Ah lung, bravo!

- Magnificent!
- Excellent!

Don't celebrate just yet.
There'll be more trouble after this.

With ah lung's skills,

those men will think twice
about coming here.

You don't understand.

Powerful outsiders can hardly afford
to neglect local bullies.

This is their territory.

We're under their control.

We must be careful.

Let's be more patient.

More patient? Man, our dragon is here!

You'd be wise to heed my advice.

Is that so?

Calm down, everyone.

Ah lung, it's late.
You must be tired. Let's turn in.

Want some supper?

No, I must get up early and train.
I go to bed early.

- I hear it's easy to buy a gun here?
- Yes, any resident can get a license.

- What are you doing?
- Making darts.

Darts?

What is it?

What is it?

Want to eat?

You can eat if you're as good as ah lung.

Better go practice your karate!

Is this for brother lung?
Why didn't you say so?

Brother lung!

Brother lung...

Good morning, brother lung!

Good morning, brother lung!

Brother lung,
I made this especially for you.

Eat it while it's hot.

Your kung fu is terrific.

Who was your teacher in Hong Kong?

Look at this!
"Little dragon asking for direction."

"Big dragon whipping its tail."

With that, all the enemies are down!

You said Chinese boxing lacks power.

I was only kidding.

Brother lung, you went too fast yesterday.
We couldn't see it clearly.

Will you show us again?

Come now. Show us again, please.

Go on then!

Okay, come on.

Brother lung, come on.

Everyone says you're fast and powerful.

I didn't see it last night.

You said power can be generated
by uniting the waist with the stance.

How about a demonstration?

Be quiet and let's watch, okay?

Let's watch together.

- So shut up!
- Step back!

Are you all right?

Everything all right?

Fantastic!

Brother lung, will you be my teacher?

Will you be my teacher?

You said practicing martial arts
is useless.

So why are you doing it now?

I never liked karate.

But this is Chinese boxing.
Can you dig it?

We'll give up karate.

Let's learn from brother lung.

Right!

Customers! Come quick!

Coming.

Change your clothes!

Brother lung - I mean, teacher.

I'm going to take care of the customers.
We'll talk later.

Miss chen, is there anything I can do?

Watch out for those villains.
They may come again.

What did he say?

He wants us to see his boss.

Shut up! Now move!

See you tomorrow.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Sit down.

Eat, please.

It's hard to find this in Rome.
How does it taste?

It's not as good as in Hong Kong.

I cooked it.

It's all right.

And you?

Want some more?

When you're finished,
I'll show you around Rome.

Go on!

Where's the man from Hong Kong?
Tell him to come out.

Where is he? Talk.

I don't know.

You'd better talk!

All right. He'll be back soon.

Where is he now?

These are some of Rome's
famous relics of the past.

Over there is -

what is it?

Our slum is full of these wrecks.

Please.

A king had these gardens built
for his queen.

It took many years and cost fortunes.

They must have been truly in love.

Are you married?

How do you like the palace?

Such a big place is a waste.

In Hong Kong, I would build
a skyscraper and collect rent.

We'd better get back to the restaurant.

The boss means well.
We all need to make a living.

He appreciates talent
and knows you're quite capable.

And what muscles you have!

We don't want to harm you.

Here's a ticket back to Hong Kong.

All the better to stay out of trouble.

Now, miss chen,
you really should quit while you're ahead.

It's for the best if you say yes.

Our intentions are good,
and we're offering you a great deal.

So what do you say?

You tell him what I say.

We don't want any more trouble...

Or else I will retaliate.

Tell him!

Move them out.

Ah lung, hold it! Those are customers.

Come in, please.

Hurry now. Clean up
and serve our guests properly.

See? I told you to be patient.

It's come to this
because of your bad tempers.

What should we do now?

We'll fight to the end.

This is no joke.

I know, but...

I know how you feel,

but we must think of ah lung.

They'll do what they say.

You mean -

have him lay low for a while.

Tomorrow is Chinese new year.
If there's trouble then...

- What if he doesn't agree?
- I know he's stubborn.

But you must persuade him.

Without him,
we'll be forced to sell the restaurant.

That's not what I mean at all.

But we'll have to wait and see.

If there's really nothing we can do,
we may have to lose a bit,

but we mustn't sell restaurant.

I need to think it over.

All right.

You better go and talk to ah lung.

Is the restaurant open tomorrow?

Good.
We'll go to the countryside and practice.

Remind ah gung to bring
that protective padding.

Firecrackers?

They're banned in Hong Kong.

There must be some
Chinese people living nearby.

You must leave Rome for a while.

I eave Rome?

Don't take it the wrong way.
We don't want you to go.

Me least of all, but you must.
Do you understand me?

I don't understand.

Ah lung, why won't you -

- afraid of firecrackers?
- I'll take you to the airport.

- Why?
- Those men want you...

It's my duty to help you.

I know, but you must leave.

They're planning to kill you!
Kill me? Who?

Time's up. Let's go!

There's too much noise.
I'll close the window.

You stay right here.

Miss chen!

Miss chen!

Miss chen, let's not waste any more time.

The agreement of sale
is already drawn up.

- It just needs your signature.
- No.

Why are you being so stubborn?
The boss has been very kind to you.

Just think if this knife
were to mar that lovely face of yours.

It would be quite a shame.

You'd better agree to sign.
You wouldn't want our boss to get mad.

I won't do it. Save your breath.

Just sign it already.
It's for your own good.

Whether you sign or not,
the restaurant will be ours in the end.

Tang lung will be here soon.

Tang lung? You think he'll come?

I can tell you now,
he's on his way to meet his maker.

Watch out!

The ringleader is over there.

- Let me tell you -
- He doesn't understand Chinese.

Happy new year!

- Here you are.
- Thank you.

Thank you, uncle wang.

I didn't expect to receive
a new year's red envelope abroad.

Uncle wang gives them out every year.

This is the best new year ever.

First of all, we successfully
defended our restaurant.

And second, we have brother lung with us,
who's also our teacher.

Salute!

And third, we finally beat the hoodlums.

Let's enjoy this new year
and skip the violence.

Here comes ching-hua.

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

Come, this is for you.

Thank you, uncle wang.

Ah lung, a cable for you.

It's from my uncle.

He wants you to go somewhere
to help someone.

Don't be like that. I'll be back.

I'm not going anywhere
until this whole matter is settled.

Happy new year!

You've really spruced things up nicely.

What a warm gathering.

What do you want?

It's the first day of the year.
I came to pay my respects.

I'm afraid it was all our fault.
I really must apologize.

We must all live in peace.

Our boss would like to see Mr. tang
and have a talk in person.

Do you think he'd do us the honor?

Wonderful!
This is a great beginning to the year.

Business will be good this year.

Tell your boss we'll be there.

Wonderful!

We'll meet at the empress restaurant
tomorrow morning.

Sensei!

Oh, there you are. Come sit down.

My apologies.
Our boss couldn't make it today.

What are you up to now?

An urgent matter came up
and he couldn't step away.

My car's right outside.
I'll drive you to meet him.

What? You want us to go to him?

Never mind, we'll go there.
Take us to him!

Very nice indeed. I like straight-talkers.

Shall we be going?

So where's the boss?

He's running off.

Forget it. He won't get away.

This could be a trap.
All of you must be careful.

Teacher, you don't need to fight.
The three of us can handle him.

I'll go first.

Tang lung.

Are you tang lung?

Are you tang lung?

Let him go, he already gave up.

Ah lung, luck is on our side.
Their trap didn't work.

Tang lung!

Come with me, if you dare.

Ah lung, go ahead. Don't let him get away.

Tony and Jimmy can take on
the Japanese fighter.

Tony, are you all right?

- I'm hurting all over.
- So tired.

Uncle wang, why...

Don't blame me.
If you must, blame it on ah lung.

Yes, it was ah lung
who got you into this mess.

He shouldn't have gotten in my way.

You...

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

You should know
that working men have no future.

I've worked hard for half my life,
yet I own nothing.

I have a wife and children
waiting for me to return to Hong Kong.

If the restaurant goes to the gang,
they'll give me a big payout.

Then I can return to Hong Kong
and live comfortably.

You of all people
should understand the troubles I have!

Tang lung, you've sure got guts!

Tang lung, you've just seen the man
who will kill you!

Tang lung, you're at the end of your road!

Tang lung, your death draws near!

Ho!

Mr. wang, we've failed.

Hold it!

We were caught in their trap.

Tony and Jimmy, just look at them!

Tang lung.

Please don't be rash now.

Tang lung, just listen to me.

Now that this is all resolved, I must go.

I'll see you off.

No, ah chuan has a car waiting for me.

Take good care.

In this world of guns and knives,

tang lung is respected wherever he goes.
