[Bells tinkling]

Long life to Your
Imperial Majesty.

If it pleases Your Majesty the two
lions have arrived in the courtyard.

They are here to perform the lion dance,
Your Majesty.

Long life to Your Majesty.

Her Imperial Majesty,
the Dowager empress.

Long life to the
Dowager Empress!

May she rein forever!

Long life to Her
Imperial Majesty!

Her Imperial Majesty,

the Dowager Empress approaches!

Long life to Her Imperial Majesty,
the Dowager Empress!

Long life to Her Imperial Majesty,
the Dowager Empress!

[Music]

Your Majesty,
that contraption is called a camera.

Camera?!

[Scoffs]

These foreigners
and their strange ways!

They come to China and praise
us for our great naval power

and the very next moment they
proceed to sink all our war ships.

Hung-chang, is it possible these
young lions could be made use of

to drive out the foreigners?

Well, Your Majesty,

it is true that our country has been host
to an ever increasing number of foreigners

all of whom I am sure have
designs upon your lands.

But I suggest to Your Majesty that
the best way of defeating their plans

would be to set foreigner
against foreigner.

If they start quarrelling among themselves
we'll take advantage of the situation

and drive them out
of the country forever.

However, for that we must encourage the
practice of kung fu and other martial arts.

By organising demonstrations such as this,
Your Majesty,

we can provide
entertainment for the masses

and show them that
our country is strong!

Not to mention showing the foreigners
that we will not be trampled upon.

Yes, that's a good idea.

I want you to invite our best
martial artists to a grand competition

for the title of Lion King.

[Train horn blares]

Get your buns here!
They're hot and fresh!

Wow! I'm exhausted.
That train took so long!

- Hey, be careful.
- Oh! I'm sorry.

Wow,
Master. Beijing is a really busy city.

You're right and we're
stranger here. Behave.

Excuse me.

See! Even if the foreigners here in
Beijing speak different languages.

If we learn more languages maybe,
we could communicate more easily.

I'm sure we could learn a lot if we
could speak some Portuguese or French.

I can speak a foreign language.

- Really?
- Magnifi!

'Magnifi',
eh? What does it mean?

I don't know, but some men
said it when they saw Cousin Yee,

so it must be a greeting.

Is that so?

- Where is Cousin Yee?
- I don't know!

- Where is she?
- She must be somewhere.

- See if you can find her, will you?
- Cousin Yee!

It's a Chinese lady
dressed as a foreigner.

Look! Over there!

Master,
I found Cousin Yee. This way!

- Cousin Yee.
- Foon, Fei-hung.

I'd like you to meet someone.

He and I were students together
at the International college.

Mr Tomansky.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Master Wong Fei-hung
and his student Leung Foon!

Magnific! Magnific!

I see you speak French.
Are they in the theatre?

What?

You've made progress
in learning our language.

I'm an interpreter,
so I have to.

Hey, look! There's a foreign
woman dressed like a Chinese!

It's wonderful seeing you here
again. I really can't believe it.

You know,
it's your fault I fell in love with China.

In fact you are the reason
I decided to come out here.

You see,
I couldn't survive without you.

I hope you're not married yet.

[Gasps]

I see you still have the camera I
gave you as a birthday present.

I hope you still think about me.

I can't believe my luck
finding you here like this.

It must be fate.
Don't you think?

What's up with you? Go on,
find a rickshaw.

No need to shout.

Mr Wong, I have a carriage, it would
be my pleasure to share it with you.

I couldn't take advantage
of our chance meeting.

Fate demands
that we should part.

- Let's go, Cousin.
- Hoping to meet you soon.

- Hey! You don't know where that's been!
- [Gasps]

You've a lot to
learn about hygiene.

Is he your boyfriend?

I'm more than just a boyfriend,
I'm her relative, aren't I, Cousin?

You mean you two are cousins?

It may not mean a
lot to you foreigners,

but here,
cousins are extremely close.

Some day you may find
out how close. Come on.

Fei-hung, what's got into you?

That camera, was it from him?

Does it matter?

Please do me a favor. In the future,
just call me by my first name. Alright?

But, I've forgotten it. Huh?

Where's Foon? Where's he gone?

Get him! Get him!

Hey, hold it. More trouble!

Watch this! Here it comes again!

[Gasps]

My camera!

Watch your back!

Watch the fist.

Time to kick!

[Groans] No! No!

Now then,
what seems to be the problem?

Problem?

He's taken three rickshaws,
that's what the problem is.

Oh, really? Then,
we'll return now!

- Foon?
- Yes.

- Unload those three rickshaws.
- Right.

- And apologise.
- Right.

- Sorry.
- Ah, my leg!

- Are you hurt?
- No, I'm fine.

- You know what you need?
- A band aid!

More practice!

[Indistinct chatter]

- Hello, Mr Chang! How are you?
- Fine!

- Master Wong!
- Hi. Hello.

Hello, how are you?

- Hello, Master Wong.
- Hello.

Oh, it's Wong Ying.

- Kin-chon! I thought you
were still in Hong Kong!

Hey, is it true? I hear
your son is coming to see.

Oh

Yes. That's right. He's coming
to see my new medicine factory.

- I'll see you later.
- Oh, sure. Don't let me keep you!

Who won the last game?

- How is it coming along?
- Master!

Just one thing though! The contour
over here is not round enough. Here!

It has to look fierce,
otherwise the effect will be lost.

Do you see what I mean?

But, it is very good!

Master! They are coming,
master. Outside. They are here.

- Your son's arrived.
- He's here?

No, it's a bunch of
hooligans looking for a fight.

What's that? We're an association,
not a martial arts' club.

What could they want with us?

- Stop your game!
- Stop your game, you got that?

Pull down the lion heads.

[Indistinct murmuring]

Alright! My name is Chiu Tim-ba.

I don't like long speeches. So,
I'll get to the point.

I've reached agreement with all
the martial arts clubs in the district

and they have agreed that I
should represent the district.

At the Lion King Competition.

Therefore only the men from the
Tai-ping oil factory may take part.

That means you can forget
all of these preparations.

If you enter the competition,
it's the end of your association.

Please don't try
to go against me.

You'll find that my threats are really
idle and though, if you take them lightly

live to regret it. Oh!

I hope I've made
everything quite clear.

[Laughs]

You have no right to stop us from
entering. You can go to hell. You hear?

Oh! Is that right?

Oh! Well in that case,
we'll teach you a little lesson.

- Let's get him.
- Get him. Come on.

Take this, you stupid old fool!

Young boy,
I'll teach you a lesson.

[Groans]

- Alright, men. Are you behind me?
- Yes, sir!

Damn, I hate this counter!

Iron Foot!

Yes, boss.

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

- Master, let's get them.
- No, wait. They are too many!

- Out of my way!
- I'll kill him!

You're all useless!

I'm the head rickshaw
puller - Iron Foot!

[Growls]

Well,
now it's my turn. Are you ready?

- Master! Master!
- Stand back. Move!

[Gasps]

The ancestral lion.

- Master!
- Master!

Stop!

Amazing!

Step back!

[Gasps]

Wonder Kick!

- Master, are you alright?
- Master, are you okay?

Iron Foot,
you're a dead man! Get him!

Come on.

[Laughs]

Great work!

[Laughing and clapping]

Throw them out.

Smash the lions!

Here we are, home at last.

Cousin Yee, let me help.

Go on, get out of here!

Come on, let's go.

Come on, get out of the way.

Hey, watch it!

Here! Here,
cousin. It is this way.

Move it! What
are you looking at?

Yay! We've got a lion head.

Keep this fare and don't forget
the rest of the luggage. Thank you!

Fei-hung, what the...?

That's strange.

- Master Wong, are you hurt?
- I'm all right.

- Dad!
- Fei-hung, you're here!

- What happened?
- It's nothing really.

I had a fight. That's all. I'm not
as good as I used to be, I guess.

What on earth was the fight
about? Did you report it to the police?

Who is this foreign woman?

- Oh, it's Cousin Yee.
- Cousin Yee?

[Laughs]

She looks so funny!

- Dad...
- [Coughs]

Stop laughing,
it's making you cough.

- It's alright, I'll stop.
- Dad!

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

You can stop laughing now.
I've changed my dress, all right?

All right, I'll stop laughing,
I promise.

Uncle Wong,
Fei-hung came to see your new factory.

But he also wanted to
talk about getting married.

Fei-hung wants to get married?

Do you know who my
future daughter-in-law is?

I think he ought to tell you.

That rascal! Why on earth
didn't he bring her to meet me?

Brother, these are all I could
find. I hope they are alright.

That'll be fine. I'll teach you
enough to defend yourselves.

Why won't Master
Wong let us get revenge?

Well,
Master Wong is strange like that.

He won't help fighting
unless in self defense.

He says kung fu's
is a mental discipline,

but when there's a fight,
he's the first one to jump right in.

And he doesn't go half
measure either I can tell you!

- You ready?
- Ready!

[Shushing]

- Come on!
- Right.

Foon!

So,
were you intending on going somewhere?

Master...

It's just that the boys here
said as it's my first time here

they'd take me out to eat ah...

Some... Something they eat here.

I guess,
they must be Peking duck.

Yeah, yeah.

Eating Peking duck on top
of a big meal? Ridiculous!

Alright,
all of you. Come over here.

All right, sit down.

Go on.

Foon, you too.

I sat all day on the train yesterday.
I'd rather stand, if you don't mind.

We're always blamed
by our Government

for forming association which
they say disturb the public order.

That's why we must be careful.

We must leave any disputes
in the hands of the authorities.

We must not take the
law into our own hands.

Otherwise,
they will close us down without mercy.

We can defend but not attack!

- Foon!
- Yes.

Look at them,
they're slouching all over the place.

You must teach
them correct posture.

Correct posture?

How should I do that?

Fists in!

[Grunts]

Knees out! Breathe!

Bend!

[Screams]

[Gasps]

Stop hitting me!

First thing tomorrow, you'll bring
your martial arts textbook to me.

And you'll copy it out.

[Laughs]

How did I get into this?

Fei-hung.

Your father knows
you're hiding something.

Why don't you go
and talk to him? Go on.

[Giggles]

Here,
I made you some herbal tea.

I hope it is still
warm enough for you.

- I want to talk to you, son.
- Here you go, father.

Thanks, but I don't want any.
I don't really like it anyway.

[Gasps]

Here, look at this.

It's a new preparation from
my Po Chi Lam medicine factory.

It's wonderful for stopping
bleeding and open wounds.

It could even save a
person's life in an emergency.

Here! You should take
some hand with just this.

I guess so!

There are so many
quacks around these days.

Yeah, you are right?

If we can produce
this in large quantities,

I'm sure people will buy it,
don't you think?

[Chuckles] Yeah.

How am I going to
get out of this one?

To ensure output I've
even bought a steam engine.

Oh, you should see it, Fei-Hung!

Tomorrow morning, I'll take you down there
and you can see everything for yourself.

- We'll make a great team. Don't you think?
- [Chuckles]

- Yeah, right.
- Hey, wait a minute.

The herbal tea, son,
why are you drinking it?

I didn't want to waste
it. It's quite good really.

Now, son. A little bird tells me

that you've something
important to tell me. Am I right?

[Gasps]

Oh, really?

Well,
don't you have something to tell me?

Go on! You needn't be embarrassed with me,
son.

- Nothing!
- What? Nothing?

I'll keep the herbal tea.
I think I might need it.

[Yee whispers]
He's such a big idiot.

It's enormous! I have
never seen such a big one.

What about you, cousin?

No! The British were the first
to develop the steam engine.

It was Mr Watt who really made it
the advance machine that it is today.

Do you hear that? There's a guy
called Watt. She is making it up!

A world without
steam. Just imagine.

Master Wong, welcome.

And it's just the steam that drives
everything? It's that powerful?

Sure, but other things are as powerful,
like my emotions.

When I'm angry,
I can let off more steam than that engine.

Yes, all that steam coming
from the window confused me.

I was so busy watching you. I
couldn't think. It's not my fault.

The whole purpose of letting off
steam is to drive things forward.

- Is that right, gentlemen?
- Yes! That's right!

It's got nothing to do with it.

You're not?

[Hissing]

[Coughs]

Goodness, you'd better bring
some of our new medicine here.

Look at his face,
it's been scalded by the steam engine.

No, I'm fine, I'm all right.

He wasn't scalded by this steam,
no, it was another engine last night.

Cut it off, will you? Why do
you have to tell everybody?

Calm down.

[Fighters grunting]

Hey, everyone,
there's another fight outside.

I think the martial artists
have come to pick on us again.

[Grunts]

What's this all about?

The Lion King Competition,
what else?

[Grunts]

If this carries on,
someone will get hurt.

They already have been.
This is their third fight.

- Right. I'm going to put a stop to it.
- Master, wait!

Is he sure? He knows
what he's doing?

I don't know. I ask myself
that every time he gets involved.

Go and find some men to help him,
hurry up!

[Groans]

Fools!

Stop fighting!

[Grunts]

Listen to me! Stop fighting.

Who is in charge? I want
to speak to your leader.

Hey, Chang!

The Tam,
the Chiu and the Chai schools.

The Tai school I see!

Performing societies. What
brings you here causing trouble?

Who are you?

My name is Wong Fei-hung.

I ask you honestly, can't you settle
your differences without fighting?

The Chai setup a school
across the street from me.

And of course, they need pupils.

So, they started stealing
mine just for the competition.

Look here! A quality school
always attracts the best pupils.

Those who came,
came willingly. They weren't forced.

You're from the Chiu,
so get lost.

- To hell with you!
- We are the Tams!

- Go on, then, show us!
- I'm not afraid of you.

Calm down, please, gentlemen.

Might I suggest you
fight me instead?

We'll see who gives
the best performance.

Are you on their side
or on mine? Well?

- I just want to be fair. Please.
- Him first.

I'll go second.

Right. I'll go first.

[Grunts]

Master Wong, thank you.

- Thank you! So sorry!
- What kind of Kung Fu is that?

[Indistinct murmuring]

All right, my turn.

Wait. We risk
being ridiculed here.

Master Wong,
we should give you a face!

I'm glad to see I've made
you realise fighting's useless.

I'd like to invite you
all to dinner tonight.

I'd be glad to take it
up on your invitation.

Right, master. So would I!

Hey, look, it's Master Wong.

- Good evening, good evening.
- Hello, master Wong.

- Please, sit.
- Thank you.

- Please sit.
- Yes.

Thank you.

Master Lee,
I'm so glad you're here tonight.

[Gasps]

What is it? What on
earth are you doing here?

Nothing. I just wondered why
these broken heads were here.

These lion heads were
used by our ancestors.

Although they're broken now,
we can't bear to throw them away.

I was told that our ancestors won
a lot of competitions in the past.

That's right.

Each of these heads you see here
represent a competition won in the past.

They had a great reputation!

[Gasps]

This Lion King Competition
is causing a lot of trouble.

I believe we should notify the
authorities of what is happening.

We could tell them, but I don't
think they could do anything to stop it.

It's been organised by governor
Li on behalf of the Empress.

What? The Empress?

We could present a petition signed
by all the kung fu associations.

We'll tell her the truth
about what's happening.

Don't you think
that's a good idea?

- I'm not so sure about it.
- That's right. It doesn't seem right.

This is urgent. We have
to take action quickly.

- Mr Wai, some paper.
- Yes, sir.

Well then,
a toast to the initiative!

May all our associations work
side-by-side to promote martial arts

And join together to resend our
petition to the Competition organizer.

Cheers.

- Yes, right.
- Cheers.

- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.

A petition for the governor signed
by the city's 14 kung fu associations.

Sir.

- I'll see that he gets it.
- Thank you, sir.

Master Li, this Wong Fei-hung represents
the 14 martial arts schools in the city.

I have more important things to
do. Give it to one of my secretaries.

- Yes, of course, sir.
- As if I had time for such trifles.

Sir?

As soon as we receive an answer from
the Governor, we'll be in touch with you.

Thank you! You've
been extremely helpful!

- Goodbye, sir.
- Goodbye.

[Neighing]

So, what's going to happen now?

We just have to wait for a reply,
if there ever is a reply of course!

Let's take rickshaw home.

Master,
a rickshaw? Here you go. Where to?

- The Cantonese association.
- Come on.

Oh, right. Here, Master,
get in. Where to?

- Just follow him.
- Alright.

- You're Cantonese?
- Yes.

Hey, what are you doing? I said,
follow that rickshaw.

- Fei-hung!
- Cousin Yee!

Iron Foot! Come on!

Fei-hung!

Leave me!

Wong Fei-hung!

Cut him off at the East Gate!

Fei-hung, help!

Come back here, Wong!

Where do you
think you are going?

- Wong Fei-hung!
- I'm not Wong Fei-hung!

Wong Fei-hung is right here!

Help! Help me, Fei-hung.

[Horse neighing]

[Screams] [Groans]

Take in your positions!

Get out of the
way! Move it! Move!

[Laughs]

So you're Wong Fei-hung?

Master!

[Laughs]

I say it like it is,
my name is Chiu Tim-ba.

Judging by the way you fought Iron Foot,
your kung fu's excellent.

I could use you for the
Lion King Competition.

That's if you're willing to
join my Tai-ping lion team.

Name your price. I'm
a generous employer.

Not a chance! I'm
not a mercenary.

If you want fighters,
you look elsewhere.

As for your competition,
I'll never enter.

In that case, as you're not my ally,
you're my enemy!

If you refuse to join the Tai-ping,
you shall die.

Get him!

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

- Master!
- Let me go!

My horse!

Hurry up, come and help her!

Tomansky! We're being attacked. Please,
can you help us?

Of course.

Surround him!

Out of my way!

Don't move.

Wong Fei-hung, you can't escape.

Iron Foot!

[Gasps]

Don't worry, I'm here.

No you don't.

That was close.

It's alright.

I'm very sorry, but it's not our
custom to kiss a man's hand.

You needn't worry. It's not our
custom to let our hands be kissed.

I'll let it go this time but I'll
ask you not to do it again.

It's a disgusting
habit. Understood?

- Iron Foot, well done!
- He's really no good at all!

Fei-hung, did that man kick you?

My being kicked is not important I
was more worried about your safety.

Fei-hung, that's ridiculous.

I too worry about safety. So forget
the rickshaws and take my carriage.

We'll be back. Just you wait!

That's very kind,
but we can make our own way.

No, for safety's sake it would
be best to take the carriage.

Come on. Please.

Excuse me.

Aren't you coming?

No, I'll walk. Driver,
the Chinese association.

Go on!

Hey!

Fei-hung!

Sir,
your carriage waits. Please.

Follow that carriage.

[Grunts]

He's taking too long.
I am getting bored.

Master,
you're back! Cousin Yee's making a movie.

She wanted to film you,
but they couldn't wait,

so Foon took your place.

- He's pretty good in it.
- Old Master Wong's in it too.

But she can't film everybody,
so she chose the seniors.

- Do you feel better now?
- Don't worry, I am fine.

- Moving pictures?
- That's right.

It's not like photographs,
it takes motion pictures.

- Motion pictures?!
- See?

- Master, why don't you try it?
- Do I have to?

- Do some stances in front of the camera.
- Come on! Try it.

Then, we will have it on film.

- Go on, Master.
- Go on.

- What will he do?
- Go on!

No,
you're too close to the camera.

You have to move further
back. Go on! That's fine.

- It's very complicated.
- I know!

Right. Ready? Action!

Action?

[Laughs]

Didn't you hear, action?! That's
what they say before filming.

What's the matter? Why
don't you start moving? Go on!

Action means she starts filming.

Why don't you start
moving? She wants to film.

You know your usual
routine. What's the matter?

We want some action. Go on.

I know exactly what to do,
thank you.

[Laughs]

- Why do I bother?
- The camera's rolling now. Action!

Wow!

Where did you get that?

We've only just arrived. You couldn't
have ordered it in such a short time.

Well, the big nose at the carriage
had it delivered here this morning.

- Wow!
- Master Wong!

Fei-hung! Why did you tell him?

[Door thuds]

Fei-hung?

Are you angry with me?

I've prepared a jacket for you.

Are you really
that angry with me?

Fei-hung,
I know you hate Tomansky.

How could I refuse him? These
new cameras they represent the future.

They are the latest technology.

We have to learn or
we'll be left behind.

I feel so ignorant. How can
I compete with cameras?

I know you don't like that French man! So,
I've decided not to see him again.

Are you happy?

Well?

Cousin...

No, I mean Peony.

For the wedding arrangements,
you should talk to your father.

We shouldn't waste time.

You are right.

I'll try to talk to
him tomorrow.

I'll tell him clearly. So,
you will be proud of me.

- Master! Are you here? - Hey!
- Have you calm down yet?

- We want to finish the movie.
- Hey, look!

- Master!
- What's up!

Why were you sitting so close?

Cousin Yee had something in her eye,
I was taking it out.

Really? Cousin Yee, I'm an expert,
I'll take it out for you.

No thanks, it's done already.

- Dad, let's go finish the movie.
- Good idea. - Come on, let's go.

Idiot! Cut that out!

Master! I think there's
something in my eye.

Could you get it out for me?

It's your eyeball.
Dust it yourself.

There's lot of dust in the air.

Cousin Yee, we need you too.

[Music]

[Crackers bursting]

Here,
Master Wong! This is the perfect position.

It's literally the best.

Everything on focus!

Right down there!

Hey, look at that.

Wow!

[Indistinct murmuring]

Those lion heads are
different to the rest.

Yes, I know! They are settling a
few old scores between societies

before the Lion King
competition starts.

The four main triads in the city -
the White Lotus, the Tiger gang,

the Black Dragons and
the Tai-ping oil factory

they want to put the
others out of the running.

And that way,
when the competition comes around

they will be sure there
are no rivals are left.

They seem to have
a lot of support.

Yes,
this society belong to Chiu Tim-ba.

[Laughter]

They seem very
sure of themselves.

Here they come!

[Crowd cheering]

It looks like a lion race,
but it's just a big fight.

Be careful. The steam
engine's dangerous.

- Your master was scolded last time.
- Really? Looks harmless to me!

It's so hot,
you can cook your food on it.

That's just what
I'm going to do.

Alright. Go ahead. These
youngsters never listen.

Let's eat. Boil the eggs.

[Groans]

Brother Foon,
we need your help in the Lion Race.

- Right now?
- Yeah.

- Brother, come on.
- Hurry!

Be quiet!

If Master Wong
finds out it's me...

Thunderhead,
he won't know it's me under there!

- All right, let's do it!
- Come on!

Come over?

[Crowd cheering]

Go away.

Him again!

It's not my fault,
Fei-Hung! I didn't invite him.

Since he's here,
we'll give him back his camera.

I'll buy another one.

But they're not
easy to find here.

Are you sure?

Then, we'll wait.

- Where have they put the trophy?
- It's about four blocks down.

Stupid! idiot! How the hell
am I gonna see the trophy!

Give me that! When I grab the trophy,
the master will see me.

[Crackers bursting]

- Foon!
- What's up?

We'll never catch them.

Give up without even trying.
That's not the way I've been taught.

- Alright, let's go.
- Right!

Give me a leg up! Come on!

It's Iron Foot.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, see that lion with the knives?

He's so sure he's going to win!

Right, we can't win,
but we can stop him.

- Yeah right!
- This way

Iron Foot, take that!

- What's up?
- Nothing.

Cut it out!

And another kick!

- What are you doing?
- He kicked me!

[Grunts]

[Screams]

- Look out! He's seen us!
- Come back, I'll break your head.

- Where did Iron Foot go?
- He's right behind us.

Hey,
wait a minute. You put on the tail.

Come on! Let's get out of here.

[Grunts]

It's coming near.

Watch out! It's
coming up here! Run!

Fei-hung, look there.

Peony, come on.

It's too dangerous. Come on!

- Hold on tight.
- Are you quite sure? All right.

[Gasps]

My camera!

[Groans]

- Are you all right?
- Can you get the camera?

Sure! I can get it back!

It's Wong, go get rid of him.

- Get him!
- Right!

Damn you! Where have you gone?

- Yan!
- Forget about me, get out of here!

Come back here! I'm going to
teach you a good lesson now.

[Grunts]

[Screams]

Get back here
whatever your name is!

Come out!

Mr Iron Foot, my name is Daddy!

[Horse neighing]

Iron Foot be a good boy now,
Daddy said so.

[Horse neighing]

You can go to hell!

[Horse neighing]

You can't do this! I'm your dad!

Take that, Dad!

[Iron Foot screaming in pain]

You son-of-a-bitch!

[Crackers bursting]

Look at there.

I am the champion!
We've won the competition!

Stupid idiot! Get that trophy!

Get it back!

Come on, get it back!

I've got it! The Tai-ping
have won the competition.

[Hooting]

Here, Master.

The winners!

[Laughs]

Good! The Tai-ping team
is the greatest of them all!

We'll celebrate
with a big banquet.

And I'll be giving you all a reward
for proving your loyalty to me!

[Laughs]

Loser!

Cousin Yee?

My camera.

- [Gasps]
- Peony!

Fei-hung!

What's the matter?

Something strange is going on.

Did you see something?

No! I was too late. But
something did happen.

Fortunately,
we found out that he is a double agent.

We have no choice
but to kill him.

He wants to disclose our secret...
during the Lion King Competition.

Li Hung-chang,
the Northern Ocean President,

he suggests strongly to cede
Liaotung Peninsula to Japan.

If Liaotung Peninsula is ceded to Japan,
Russia must be in war with Japan.

One month later, Li Hung-chang will
master the ceremony of treaty signing.

To stop this treaty,
we'd kill Li Hung-chang.

I'm thinking of
making some tablets...

- Cousin Yee, I love you.
- Be quiet!

How we should market it,
I want to show you that.

Help me, I'm in trouble.

- What is it?
- The steam engine's broken down.

I need to fix it.

Why don't you tell the old master?
He bought it. He can get it repaired.

I can't do that! If the old master
finds out, he'll tell my master.

If that happens, I'm dead.

Well,
I'll see what I can do then. Alright?

Thanks!

Dad,
there's something I need to tell you.

Sure,
why don't we sit down. What is it?

Well, I want to get...

Don't worry. Cousin Yee's
told me all about your plans.

- She told you?
- And it's all right.

We're both delighted
you've made up your mind.

I'm sure you've made
the right decision.

I am so relieved. I
was so afraid to tell you.

Come on, son.

Why be afraid? Getting married
is a normal thing for a man.

- Then I'll make arrangements.
- Good. You do that.

Fei-hung, tell me,
what's the name of the bride-to-be?

Cousin Yee.

Dad, Dad!

Dad, are you all right?

Your strange
color. Are you will?

Tablets...

What? Indigestion?
I'll get you something.

Fei-hung, Fei-hung, I love you.

It's Cousin Yee.

That means Fei-hung
will be my nephew-in-law.

My goodness! What
a mess we're in.

What mess?

[Gasps]

Come and join our gang. Come
up. My master will pay you well.

I was told that Iron Foot's
injury couldn't be cured.

Thank you.

Hey,
I wanted that one. Give it to me.

Well, let's say he's on 40. He
should be more careful. Stupid idiot!

Go on, it's your turn!

Master Chiu, it's your turn.

Yes! I know it's my turn,
you idiots.

Come on, guys,
Master Chiu will take care of you.

- Come on.
- Yes, come on. Let's go.

Come on, get out of here.

Let's see you block my kick now,
Iron Foot!

[Laughs]

Another one of these! Damn!

Where's your Wonder
Kick now? Come on.

So,
what is it now? Not liking your boots.

Get up here!

No, you dog! Look, I've won!

[Laughs]

Get up!

Hurry up and shuffle. What's
wrong? Are you paralyzed?

Damn you cripple!

[Groans]

[Laughs]

I win again!

[Laughter]

Be careful. Can
you see all right?

Yes,
thanks! I think it is finished. Almost!

- That should do it.
- [Thundering]

Take this.

Thanks.

- Let's see how it sounds.
- [Tapping]

[Gasps]

[Thundering]

Fei-hung?

I thought you promised me
you'd never see him again.

I needed his help to
repair the steam engine.

It's useless! A waste of money!

- Wong Fei-hung!
- Master!

You have to live
with your times.

You shouldn't underestimate
the steam engine.

It can increase
your productivity

making your company more efficient
and reducing your dependency on labor.

Steam is the force behind
the industrial revolution.

Whoever can master steam
will be the masters of the world.

The industrialists will
be the new emperors.

Steam is changing the course of history.
Your country must adapt to the new ways.

New ways? I feel the
old ways are sufficient.

We'll see whose ways
will have the last word.

- Fei-hung!
- He's really angry now.

Cousin Yee!

Cousin Yee!

Fei-hung!

Fei-hung!

Iron Foot?

[Thundering]

Wong Fei-hung?

Calm down!

Are you all right?

- Cousin Yee, be careful.
- Hey, what's the matter with you?

Don't touch me!

Iron Foot,
your leg is badly injured.

If you don't let me help you,
you'll be crippled for life.

Wong Fei-hung,
why don't you save your pity? Leave me be!

You can't go!

[Grunts]

Iron Foot.

Come on,
why don't you let us help you?

Here. Let me...

- Father!
- You ungrateful bastard!

Go to hell!

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Clouds rumbling]

[Laughs]

- Come on, Iron Foot.
- Leave me!

Your leg will get infected.

Look, if you want to fight me,
wait till you're better.

Wong Fei-hung!

[Wailing]

- Glad you could come!
- Great to see you!

- Lovely to see you, sir.
- Thank you.

Good evening, sir.

And now the movie.

[Vocal Music]

Fei-hung,

I had no idea you
could move that fast.

That's why they say you can
kick faster than your shadow.

I didn't know I was that fast.

Foon!

[Laughter]

Hey, start the movie.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

[Sighs]

[Laughter]

- It's Brother Foon!
- You're right.

- I can't tell what's going on!
- Master, look at me!

Master!

It's on fire!
Help! It's burning.

- How come it's burning?
- Film is highly flammable.

Movie making is a
dangerous business.

Out of the way!

We are coming for you.

Chiu Tim-ba? What does he want?

[Laughs]

Excuse the interruption.
I do apologize.

But I'm looking
for a friend of mine.

- I'm going to kill you!
- Get the weapons.

I've looked after him for many years,
but now it seems he's decided to move on.

So I've come here to
take back what is mine.

You accuse us of stealing?

Foon!

Chiu Tim-ba,
I'd rather we were friends than enemies.

Your man is here, if he wants to return,
then it's his choice.

Well now,
you can't say fairer than that.

That's most noble of you.

Wong Fei Hung, all those nasty things
I said, please don't take any notice.

To prove my goodwill, I'd like to invite
you all to a banquet tomorrow night

to make up for any
misunderstandings.

- Please come.
- I just want to say sorry.

Bring your father and
all your friends of course!

Fine,
we'd be delighted to attend.

Great, that's what I appreciate
in a person, the ability to forgive.

Don't forget. Tomorrow night,
the San Shui Restaurant, and don't be late.

[Laughs]

- Thank you, Master.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Goodbye,
Master. And thank you once again.

[Laughs]

We'll set an example for the
rest of the kung fu schools.

Don't forget. See
you tomorrow night!

[Laughs]

Master.

Iron foot,
we'll have to go along.

Nobody must leave
the building tonight.

Foon, take care of security.

Security?

From this evening,
we'll post a 24 hour guard.

Fei-hung,
I intend going with you.

- Dad...
- I'm not going to let you go alone.

Didn't you hear him
say I was invited?

I'm going with you.

- If you insist, dad.
- I insist.

You know son, when things get tough,
a family has to stick together.

Last night was peaceful. But, with the
master gone, we have to be more careful!

You two, the back door,
you three, the front door.

Right.

You two, cover the yard. You three,
take the street.

Right.

Iron Foot,
you take the roof and the side gate.

Hey, Foon,
how can I watch both places?

Try running between the two.
Your leg could do with the exercise.

Oh, right.

- Yan, get some water ready.
- But I've had my bath.

- Not for bathing, in case of fire!
- Oh, right.

- Hey, Foon, have you seen Fei-hung?
- No, I haven't.

He left without me.

Chiu Tim-ba, I am here.

Master Wong,
I'm glad you could make it.

Please do come up.

You're most welcome.
This way please.

I'm sure you'll like the food,
not to mention the young ladies.

- Young ladies? I see.
- This way. Take a seat.

- I'm so glad you came.
- Please! - Please!

[Laughs]

Master Wong, I know you'll join me in
a toast to peace and brotherhood, right?

I've prepared the finest
wine for the occasion.

Here's to peace.

Yes! However, before I drink,
I'd like to salute the martial arts heroes.

As you know, we're merely carrying
on the great traditions they found.

Sure.

Cheers.

- [Sizzle]
- [Screaming in pain]

What's this?

I invited you and your father,
yet you came alone.

That proves you are not sincere.

What's more you
assaulted one of my men.

I would say that is
adding injury to insult.

You attacked my father, yet I came
here tonight out of respect for you.

We live in a country where
law and order prevails.

So I'm going to turn you in.

Really?

And you honestly think you'll
manage to evade this little trap I set?

You're a better
fighter than I imagined.

I'm afraid this is your last supper.
Now I'm going to send you to hell!

Go ahead.

I'd like to see you try. Go on,
I'm waiting.

[Chuckles]

Well, wait no longer.

A simple trick,
try this for size!

You won't succeed.

[Laughs]

That's what you think.

Get him!

[Squeaking]

- Oil?
- Of course!

After all, it is an oil factory.

We'll see how good your skills are
when things are slippery underfoot.

Let's go.

[Squeaking]

Put the table here.

We can play a little
game and watch the show.

Chop him into little pieces!

Here, sir.

You don't escape that easy!

[Screams]

[Groans]

- Are you ready?
- Yeah!

[Grunts]

I'm gonna die!

Are you dead?

Guess not!

[Grunts]

Get lost.

Get him.

[Screams]

Run!

- Chiu Tim-ba!
- Get him!

- Fei-hung, are you all right?
- Fine. Come on.

- Where are you going?
- Please spare me.

I know I've done wrong,
but please spare me, sir.

I'll promise I'll
do no more harm!

Sure it's easy being sorry. But, you should
have thought of that before you did it.

Look out! He's lying.

This will teach you!

[Grunts]

- Iron Foot!
- Well, it seems your leg's better.

Wong Fei-hung,
it will take more than you to stop me.

You just have to
practice for next time.

[Laughs]

Master,
we can't let him get away.

- Right, get after him.
- Right.

On second thought,
we'd better stay calm.

What's going on?

Cousin Yee's suitcase.

Cousin Yee!

Cousin Yee!

It's cousin Yee's.
She's leaving.

We must find her.

Leaving?

Cousin Yee!

- Check that side.
- Right.

Fei-hung.

Cousin...

Peony!

You didn't leave.
You're still here.

Say something. This kind
of behaviour is hardly fitting.

I say that we should throw
away the old lion heads.

They're outdated,
they're no use any more.

Lion heads? I don't get it.

Peony,
I thought you'd left forever.

Yes, there's something important
I have to show you. Follow me.

[Sighs]

What did he stuff in the wall?

I went back to that
place and I found this.

At the Lion competition,
when the firecracker explodes,

and kill Li Hung-chang.

I knew he was up to no good!

Quickly! We must inform
His Excellency at once.

But,
how are we going to get us to the palace?

Oh, no!

Foon,
it's a matter of life and death!

The Lion King
Competition is very soon.

We must act now.

This telescopic lens is specifically
designed for long range firing.

We have to save governor Li. We
must stop the explosion from happening.

Who knows what
disorder might follow?

Of course,
we can't involve the association.

To solve this problem,
I shall go in myself.

[Drums beating]

The camera team.
Let them through.

Let's go.

Master, I can't see the trophy.

That's because it's hidden
inside that huge lantern there.

When the governor lights it,
it will rise up into the air.

The lion grabs it and the
firecracker underneath goes off.

You'll have to be careful.

That's when the
assassination is due to happen.

- Got that?
- Got it, Master.

His Excellency, governor Li.

Sir,
the foreigners are saluting you.

Very good.

[Laughs]

Your Excellency.

[Drums beating]

- The film.
- Oh, right.

Give the signal.

Foon, Iron Foot, let's go!

- Climb over the top!
- Yes, Master!

Foon! Stand on my shoulders.

You're learning fast. Iron,
look behind you.

Right, let's get moving.

- Master, Iron can't keep up with us.
- Yes, I can.

Who's that?

Pyramid.

Iron Foot, don't move.

Let's get them.

- Watch your back!
- Head for the tower.

Go on. We are right behind you.

Prepare the rifle.

Watch out for the hammers!

I'm trying to!

[Grunts]

Master,
did you see what happened?

Forget it, keep fighting.

[Groans]

[Groans]

Master, I've been injured.

Master, where's Foon?

He's injured. See
if you can help him.

Right. Get out of my way.

Brother Foon!

- On my back!
- Right.

On your left. Over
there. Over there now.

- Foon seems to be injured.
- Brother Foon!

Hey, Yan! Don't be an idiot,
come back here.

Yan, you are a terrible fighter.

Come back here!

The camera is pointed this way.

It could ruin all our
plans. I'll go and check.

That Russian's
coming. What will we do?

I'm going.

- And me?
- Watch things here.

Yeah, right.

- Be careful, daughter.
- Don't worry, Uncle.

Daughter?!

[Laughs]

Why is she still
calling me Uncle?

[Groans]

Brother, are you all right?

- Sure, go and help Master.
- Sure, take care.

Leave the flag here. Why
doesn't he ever listen to me?

Peony,
why were you filming us earlier?

I know all about
what you are planning.

- I see and what exactly is that.
- I think you know what I mean!

[Groans]

[Laughs]

Here I come!

Chiu Tim-ba!

Wong Fei-hung, did you see,
I'll be the champion. Get him!

Let's go.

It's terrific! There are many at the top,
man. Come on!

Chiu Tim-ba, here I come!

Wong Fei Hung,
I'm going to smash your lion to pieces.

I'll kill you!

No way.

Kill him!

Tell them that I want a good fight,
but no killing.

Go to hell!

Wong Fei-hung,
you won't beat me. Smash the tower!

Master, I'm right here.

Grab the tail.

Iron Foot,
we have to stop the big lion.

Surround them.

- Iron Foot, roll over!
- Got it.

Iron Foot,
the big lion, let's go!

Look out! They are on our left.

The tower, come on!

Give me a banner!

[Grunts]

Be careful!

Master, what now?

[Groans]

The Russian and Cousin Yee!
There must be something wrong.

Master, here I come!

Be careful master,
Chiu's man want to knock down the tower!

Look out! Here
comes Chiu himself!

S[Grunts]

[Groans]

You stupid idiot! Why
didn't you get out of the way?

Look out!

I'll try to smash the lion head.

[Grunts]

[Screams]

Master, let me!

And another one!

Destroy the tower!

That camera was a gift from me.

Now I'm asking you to return it.

Give it back!

[Clattering]

A medicine chest?

It was a decoy.

Why did you betray me?

I didn't betray you,
the camera betrayed you when it filmed you.

Peony, I can't let you go!

Whatever you do,
your plan cannot succeed any more.

Do you remember I told you before?
You have to go with the changes.

Years ago, the Hans detested
being ruled by the Manchus

and now you're used to it.

And in 200 years time, you'll be
used to being ruled by foreigners.

China should be ruled by Chinese.
We have to work out our own problems.

We don't need you
foreigners interfering.

I'm afraid I can't let you go.

Cousin Yee!

- Cousin Yee, don't worry...
- Don't move!

- Brother, I'll save you!
- No, I will. Cousin Yee.

- I'm here.
- No, let me do it.

Cut it out! I'm
better at saving.

- Don't worry.
- Stop arguing.

What now?

- Cut the lantern's ribbon.
- Alright.

This thing isn't steady.

Iron, are you all right?

Master, look, the lantern!

Catch it!

- Master, you need a lion head.
- Quick, give it to me.

I've got it.

- Iron Foot, the lion head.
- Right.

[Grunts]

Where did it go?

It's stuck up there.

Come on, let's get it.

Yeah. Come on.

The firecracker's going to go
off any minute. What do I do?

[Crackers bursting]

[Gunshot]

Bring that back here! Where
are you going? Come here.

- Iron, throw me the lion head!
- Right. Go ahead.

Don't move.

Drop it.

[Gunshot]

[Gasps]

I wish your view of history had
been different, but it's all too late now.

Go and give them
some sort of explanation.

Please stop! Don't hit me. Master Wong,
please stop.

If you kill me,

hundreds of workers at my
factory will lose their jobs!

Spare a thought for
all those poor workers.

Give me a second
chance. I'm not a bad man.

A second chance?! Forget it!

This is all your fault.
You started all this, Chiu!

Take him away before I
change my mind. Go on!

[Groans]

- Master, are you all right?
- Master, are you okay?

Yeah.

Apparently the man they shot dead
was a spy working for the Japanese.

He was planning to assassinate
His Excellency. They can prove it.

Is it so? We should
tell His Excellency.

- Yes. Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

- Iron Foot, the trophy!
- Yes!

Your Excellency, the competition
is over. I hope you're satisfied.

But unfortunately,
the lantern was destroyed in the fight.

And we cannot say
just who the winner is.

I have the trophy.

But does that make me the
winner? Who is the winner?

Can you tell me that,
Your Excellency?

This competition
has been bloody!

Dozens of men
have died needlessly!

We are all losers.

In life the only ones who
win are the pure of heart

and it's up to us to pass on
that message to all our people.

Only the wisdom and
great courage of our people

can make our
country strong again.

Can a mere gold trophy change
our fate? And at what cost?

In life and human sufferings,
are we prepared to pay?

Just think about that.

[Grunts]

[Thud]

Excuse me!

Wong Fei-hung?
