Who is in the wooden men alley?

Fang Shih Yu.

Who is on duty today?

Uncle Chen Si Di.

Fang Shih Yu.

Still a naive apprentice and yet you stormed the alley.

Do you know what would happen to you?

Yes, if I can't get out...

I'll have to start again from the beginning.

More haste less speed, I suggest you go back.

I am determined to go.

Do you know why this alley is called...

the wooden men alley?

Yes, although our own brothers are

on duty in the alley,

they'll not spare anyone when fighting.

Their hearts are like wood and stone; hence the name.

Who is to blame if anyone dies or gets injured?

I have only myself to blame.

Alright.

Chen Guang. - Yes.

Be careful.

Uncle.

You can leave.

Thank you.

Uncle.

Fang Shih Yu, hurry and go.

"Da Mo Hall"

Abbot, Fang Shih Yu has stormed the

wooden men alley with a knife...

and killed Chen Guang.

Please look into this.

Are you Feng Dao De?

Yes.

Fang Shih Yu would not do such a thing.

Abbot Zhi Shan, don't you trust us?

Brother, we should go,

let's return to Wu Dang.

We were originally from Wu Dang School.

We haven't learnt much at Shaolin Temple.

Let's go...

Brother Feng, you are doing right.

Brother White Brow.

You know what happened?

Zhi Shan suspects us.

We can't stay at Shaolin anymore.

We'll fight with Shaolin one day.

I'll deal with Zhi Shan.

You have to watch out for Fang Shih Yu.

Yes.

Fang Shih Yu's mother bathed him with

tonic wine since he was small.

That makes him sort of invincible.

Just now though he is cut by Brother Wu's sword.

I'm afraid he wouldn't be hurt.

When you meet him in the future

in any fight

you must lure him to jump

and stab him upward while he's still in air.

This is the only way to pierce into his body.

Remember this.

I understand.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

What do you want?

Your uncle owed Master Lei money

and has offered you as collateral for the loan.

Are you off your rocker?

You don't even recognise me?

Fang Shih Yu.

He Da Yong. You can't just dismiss it with a kick.

Pick up the flowers from the floor.

You have to stay in Shaolin for at least 3 years.

How come you can get out so quickly?

By my true and tried skills.

Go.

Is Lei still such an outlaw?

I don't think no one is able to put a stop to him.

Not really.

When Lei Lao Hu knew that you went to Shaolin

he started practising the Pile formation.

Two people who fought him

died under the formation.

Pile formation?

That's right.

Beneath these poles are sharp pointed bamboo.

Once you fall...

I buried one of the hero myself.

He died amidst the pile formation.

Pile formation?

If you haven't practised before

you'd better leave as soon as possible.

Then I won't forcibly get out of wooden men alley.

The pile formation couldn't stop me.

You haven't practised on the piles before and

in a fight with Lei Lao Hu you'll be at a disadvantage.

No need to be rash, stay at my home for the night.

I'll set up the formation for you.

Practise it at least a few days before you go to him.

Fang Shih Yu is back.

Why hasn't he come to me?

He's with He Da Yong.

They are talking about something.

The men of Lei Lao Hu...

"Jin Lun School."

Make way...

May God bless me with good luck.

Winner takes all.

Here, go on with the bet.

Boss Hu, we're in bad luck today.

Can you lend us some money?

What? Are you kidding?

If you need money, there's a pawn shop up the road.

Hu Yiu Ding, don't you know us?

You don't even give us a little face.

Who are you?

Aren't you the instructors of the Jin Lun School?

Even if you're a king, no mercy is shown here.

Hu Yiu Ding, you dare say that again.

Don't bet if you can't afford to lose.

People are afraid of your Jin Lun School, but I am not.

You...

Stop fighting...

Please stop.

Gentlemen, we haven't offended you.

Please stop fighting...

None of your business.

Someone's been killed.

Get away.

Quiet.

Hu Huei Chien, listen.

Head injuries caused your father's death.

The scar is over 2 inches long.

Lost at gambling and killed himself by banging his head.

Nonsense, he's bruised all over

would that be due to banging against a wall as well?

You may take back his corpse for funeral arrangements.

Don't cause more problems.

Hu Huei Chien, what are you doing?

You want to defend Jin Lun School.

I'll settle the score with them myself.

Instructor, someone's causing trouble at our factory.

Who is it? - Hu Huei Chien.

Who is this kid?

Hu Huei Chien, son of Hu Yiu Ding.

You...

The factory under Jin Lun School

employs over 10,000 workers.

With expert kung fu instructors from Wu Dang school

even the officials are scared of them.

Guess we better not mess with them.

We...

Get lost, all of you.

I have to do that.

You did that once and..

look what happened to you.

I still want to go, as long as I live.

I'm going now.

He's here again.

Hu Huei Chien, you escaped last time.

You want to test your luck again?

If you don't cause trouble again

you might be spared.

Rubbish!

Throw him into the river.

Let's go.

You still want to go?

Yes.

You know you are no match for them

and still want to go, why?

Fight them even risking my life.

How much? - Not for sale.

Then why have you put it here?

The people of Jin Lun School are outlaws

no one in Guangzhou dares to mess with them

except you.

You are a hero

and I don't want you to die.

If it's not for sale, I'll take it by force.

Have some tea.

Inside please...

There's a fight upstairs.

People fighting? - Hu Huei Chien is really a hero.

Only he dares to take on the outlaws of Jin Lun School.

What a pity he is no match for them though!

I think he'll die this time.

Go quickly.

I saved you, why do you hit me?

I was risking my life, how dare you interfere?

I don't think you were risking your life

you were in fact giving up your life.

Who are you?

Fang Shih Yu.

You are the one who killed.

Lei Lao Hu on the pile formation?

I have heard about you.

If it's revenge you seek, I can help you.

No, I'll do it myself.

You are not ready yet.

You have to train hard at Shaolin Temple.

I fear you might not be able to bear the hardship.

If you can, so can I.

Let's go.

Sir, you haven't paid yet.

"Shaolin Temple."

Kneel down...

Damn it, kneel.

You are open for business.

How dare you refuse the

patronage of people from our factory?

You never pay.

Anyone else not convinced yet?

Bow to apologise quickly

or you'll give up your lives in vain.

"Jin Lun School."

Bow.

Stop.

Recognise me?

Hu Huei Chien, you dare to return.

What do you want?

Beat you.

Heave and Earth.

Place your bet...

Where have I seen you before?

Take your time.

This gentleman looks familiar.

Don't you remember?

Eight for the head and nine for the tail.

Got it.

He is the kid who helped.

Hu Huei Chien 3 years ago.

Instructor Lu, you have a good memory.

What do you want?

Not much.

I'll gamble with you two here

so that Hu Huei Chien has time

to tear apart your factory.

Damn kid.

Stop, your men are here.

I think Hu Huei Chien would have almost finished

his work.

Instructor...

Hu Huei Chien has crushed our factory and Jin Lun School.

Sorry, see you in a while.

Don't think of escaping.

This is a waste of time.

You'd better go to look for Hu Huei Chien now.

We are a small business, if they come...

Don't worry, I have destroyed their 7 factories

and now await Niu Hua Jiao and Lu Ying Bu here.

Once they appear..

I'll drive them out.

Whatever the damages, I'll pay for it all.

Hero Hu, if you drive out these two.

You would have done Guangzhou a huge favour.

You have to be careful too.

If Hu Huei Chien cannot defeat them

and your words are heard by them

your restaurant would be torn down.

Tell the factory foremen

to wait for me at Jin Lun School.

Okay.

He's here...let's go.

Niu Hua Jiao, Lu Ying Bu

time to settle our score.

You owe us one life.

Great.

Good going.

Great...

Everybody's here.

Listen to me.

Niu Hua Jiao, Lu Ying Bu

and a group of people

have broken the law and caused much oppression

they have got what they deserve.

Here's the order

from now on, don't ever do immoral deeds.

Hu Huei Chien. You shouldn't have crushed the school's plaque.

Because of Niu Hua Jiao.

The name of Jin Lun School stinks.

Crushing this old plaque will do you good.

Do you know what other people think about you?

If people from the factory break the law again.

I'll beat them up every time I see them.

Not only have the two of them killed my father.

They are students of Wu Dang School.

From Feng Dao De of Wu Dang School

conspired with the Qings, oppressed and killed people

I can't let them off so easily.

Cui Ping, let's go.

Do you really have to go?

I must.

I am a Shaolin disciple and have a lot of things to do

I'll go look for Fang Shih Yu first, then Hung Hsi Kuan

the government is looking around to arrest him

so I must find him.

"Li Chun Brothel."

Public notices with your picture

have been posted everywhere for your arrest.

You still dare to run around?

I don't understand what you are thinking.

It doesn't really matter who's going to be the Emperor.

It does.

Alright, never mind

please lower your voice.

Hung Ying, come out...

Guys from Commander-in-Chief's office are here again.

Wonder who's going to be in bad luck!

Hung Ying, someone's calling you.

Hung Ying, aren't you going to come out?

Hung Ying, someone's here.

How conceited!

Do you know where we are from?

From the Commander-in-Chief's office.

So you know

I've also seen people from Governor's office.

May I know your name please?

When Commander Gao is here, I really need to ask him.

It's just passing anger, nothing much.

We'll pay for the things we broke.

You're too kind.

What's the matter?

I am Hung Hsi Kuan, the one who kills Qing people.

Master Lei...

Have you arrested any suspect?

Got one, couldn't stand the beating

he died being branded by a hot iron.

Master Lei.

I don't think Hung Hsi Kuan has the guts

to hide in the city.

Chase.

I said he's come to the city, but you don't believe me.

Change the notice tomorrow

and raise the reward.

Will go tonight. - Yes.

Hung.

Liu residence in the west of the city.

Not enough soup.

How much more? - 3 catties.

Everyone, the Qing court are hard on our trail

we've got to be very careful.

Brother Hung, since you've been in the city

you've killed a lot of Qing guys.

They are now extremely frightened

and the people rejoice in this.

How much could one man do

not much even with the people around here.

We ought to seek allies with heroes everywhere.

Spread the news

until the Ming dynasty can be restored.

Before I came to the city I met Hu Huei Chien.

There'll be more guys from Shaolin in the next few days

we shouldn't stay here long.

Tomorrow we'll leave separately.

Be careful.

Yes.

"Wine."

"Wanted: Hung Hsi Kuan."

Who are you? - I never change my name.

Tong Qian Jin, disciple of Shaolin.

Arrest him.

Hurry and go.

Chase. - Stop chasing.

They must be here for Hung Hsi Kuan

we can only follow them secretly

in order to find Hung Hsi Kuan.

I've told you to stay off trouble, but you don't listen.

Hey. If everyone from Shaolin were like you

staying away from the Qing, you can do nothing.

I don't think you can accomplish anything great.

Wait until we see Brother Hung.

Because of you, I wonder if I could meet brother Hung

at the agreed time.

Brother Hung. Brother Tong, Brother Nian should be here today.

Yes, I'll go to meet them.

You...

I can't hide up

just because there are warrants against me.

Brother Hung.

Brother Hung...

Nian Rui Qing.

You fought your way out of the wooden men alley.

Actually I crawled out of it.

Hung Hsi Kuan, you can't run away.

You brought 56 men with you

and you are the only one who has come back.

Why have you come back?

Men.

Yes.

Mobilize the troops of the whole province

and invite the experts of Wu Dang and Er Mei here

I must burn down the whole of Shaolin Temple.

Gao Jin Zhong, Feng Dao De burnt down Shaolin Temple.

As long as I live

we have to fight hard.

That's right.

Let's go separate ways for the time being.

Brother Feng will go back to Shiu Hing

and set up a base there at Qing Yun Temple.

The Qing dogs are hard on our trail

some can hide at the red boat.

Ding Fok of the theatre troupe will do the liaison.

It's quite unexpected that we actors

are becoming more and more popular.

Once the villages hear of our coming

people gather around us

I think you can change your profession.

Wait.

How come there's no one on the boat?

Yes, we stayed behind to pack things up.

Others should have come back.

Arrest them.

Hurry and go.

Don't kill him.

How many are there in the red boat?

Any disciples from Shaolin?

Altogether there are 26. 8 of them are from Shaolin.

Ding Fu is the leader.

We've captured him alive.

The others have all been executed on the spot.

A girl managed to escape.

A girl? Who's she?

Li Cui Ping, a good friend of Hu Huei Chien.

She escaped along the river.

I've sent the Li brothers to follow her.

Good, bring Ding Fu here.

Yes.

Why don't you kneel?

Ding Fu, are you a disciple of Shaolin?

Yes.

I burnt down Shaolin.

Many Shaolin disciples died.

Only a few left, I suppose they won't live long either.

Shaolin men might die but Hans will live on.

Ding Fu, do you know what's the bounty for?

Fang Shih Yu, Hu Huei Chien and Hung Hsi Kuan?

Yes, if they are caught because of an informant

there'll be a reward of a few thousand taels of silver.

Ding Fu.

With so much, you and your descendents can lead good life.

Save them for your own grave.

Bring the burning basin.

Hung Hsi Kuan, Fang Shih Yu, Hu Huei Chien.

Where are they hiding? Speak.

Okay.

They are among the commoners.

Go.

Please stay.

Who are you?

We never change our names.

Disciples from Shaolin...

It's not safe here.

The Qing dogs will return.

Hurry and go to the town ahead.

Who are you?

Li Cui Ping.

Hu Huei Chien?

He's my friend.

Haven't seen him for a long time.

Gao Jin Zhong and his troops burnt down Shaolin Temple.

People there are all gone.

Don't know where they are!

Go.

Master Lei, the Li brothers are with Li Cui Ping.

She treat them as one of his own.

Good, ask them to follow her.

Don't frighten them away

before seeing Hung Hsi Kuan.

Yes.

Miss Li, we've been at this alley before.

Yes, I'm afraid someone might be following us.

So I am going around in circles.

Miss Li, we've been walking for 2 days.

When are we going to see Brother Hu?

That's right, you're just leading us around.

Be patient, you'll see them before it gets dark.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hurry and go.

"Meet Hung Hsi Kuan before dark."

Master.

News from Li brothers.

Before it gets dark today

you can see Hung Hsi Kuan and the others.

Let's hurry and go.

No one's here.

When I call out, you'll see. Brother Hung.

Commander-in-Chief of Guangdong.

Li Da Wan, Li Er Wan wants to see you.

Kill them.

These two guys left marks on the way.

Gao Jin Zhong will follow.

Be careful, don't get close to that graveyard.

You've sent out news yesterday.

We are fully prepared.

Once Gao Jin Zhong comes he'll be dead.

Ding Fuk died a cruel death.

A few guys should keep him company.

Where are you hiding?

I don't really know.

You won't even know that

we hid in the deserted Qing Yun Temple.

It's all the sharp pointed bamboo.

"Qing Yun Temple."

Brother. - Let's set off.

I know where the remaining Shaolins

are hiding.

Where are they? - Let's go, talk about it on the way.

Uncle, please.

Put on casual wear.

Yes.

Master Gao guessed right.

If they could kill people near the cemetery...

they must be hiding somewhere near.

Just now I came across 2 Shaolin pupils

buying two to three hundred catties of rice.

There must be at least over ten people there.

Lei Da Pang, hurry and mobilize your men.

Yes.

Brother Tong, you've come back. Have you been followed?

No, but there were a few Qing dogs on the road.

They passed by without even looking at us though.

It's too quiet out there.

I feel like something is going to happen.

This Qing Yun Temple has been deserted for many years.

Only locals know about this place.

No one else will know.

Brother Chen, Brother Zhi,

go and see if there's any movement outside.

Yes.

Brother Chen, hurry and report to Brother Hung.

You... - Never mind about me.

Brother Chen... Brother Chen ..

Brother Chen.

Brother Hung.

Feng Dao De and Gao Jin Zhong and their men

have surrounded this area.

Where's Brother Zhi? - He and I were both shot at.

He's fighting with the enemies in the front.

Alright, Shaolin Temple has been burnt down.

Teacher Zhi Shan was killed by that rascal White Brows.

Today is the day when we all disciples

from Shaolin fall as martyrs.

Brother Hung, let's go out and fight

and kill as many as we can

hoping that at least

some of us can survive the fight

and continue Shaolin's legacy.

If unfortunately we all die

our Shaolin chivalry and honour

shall be immortalised.

Brother Hung, don't worry.

Even though there's seniority among us Shaolin students

even the most junior ones

are not afraid of death.

Good. - Brothers, go.

Today is the day to die for a cause.

Brother Chen, you...

I can't go with you.

Hung Hsi Kuan, you've nowhere to go.

Surrender and save your own lives.

Why don't you ask my brothers?

Fang Shih Yu, Nian Rui Qing, Tong Qian Jin.

Hu Huei Chien, Li Cui Ping,

the junior kung fu experts of Shaolin are all here.

By the power of us

you Qing dogs

don't even think of leaving here alive.

We Shaolins have sworn to fight till death.

Save your breath.

Good, you persist till death.

Attack.

Spread out and fight your way ahead.

Try your best.

Once I clap my hands, you pass me the sword.

Yes.

Brother...you...

Relax, help me bandage it.

I don't intend to get out of here alive

as long as I can kill more Qing scoundrels.

Cui Ping.

I'll wait for you ahead.

Brother Feng.

Brother, how can this rascal be regarded as our uncle.

This is a treacherous move to ambush one's enemy.

The sword is totally stabbed into my belly.

I have to go first.
