DUEL OF THE 7 TIGERS

The late Abbot before his death didn't appoint a leader.

So we have no successor.

The person to succeed him must be highly skilled in martial an.

So we have decided to hold a contest.

The two leading monks that will have a duel are...

Wu Shu and Wu Kung.

The winner will be appointed as our new leader!

Buddha bless!

Wu Shu and Wu Kung, please come here!

Yes.

The contest will be held Tomorrow at noon!

Begin now!

Buddha Bless!

Buddha bless you!

After Wu Kung lost the contest he left Shaolin Temple.

He travelled for many years until he came to Ryukyu Islands

There he trained very hard and created a style called Tang Shao Tao

This style developed over the years which was later to be known as Karate

Dad, there's a tournament happening! Let's go and have a look!

No, you'll create trouble there. ... I won't I promise

Okay Come on then!

My teacher Si Mun Kwang! Ls the master of Tang Shao-Tao technique.

Today he is challenging Chinese Kung Fu.

He will take on any challenger with any style they choose to use!

Who dares to challenge our Master!

I will!

Hold it!

Who are you? ... Chow Shung of Four Seas Gymnasium!

I'll beat you like a dog!

Who else will like to challenge our master?

Good for nothing!

Most disappointing!

Throw him down!

Anybody else?

You are amongst the best here! Only you have some chance!

Let's go!

Close down the Gymnasiums!

Move on!

Get lost!

What do you want? ... I want your Signboard!

Everybody leave!

Master! Master!

Get up. Please get up.

Master!

I won't leave.

I'm leaving too. ... Then take me with you!

I can't take you!

You stay here and practice hard and spread our kung fu.

Yes

Please leave now!

You're the youngest and most skilful teacher in the area.

I didn't expect you to be such a coward and take down your own sign!

You've brought disgrace on Ta Shing Pek Kwar school!

I can't believe you do such a thing!

I'm no coward!

But I still won't waste my life. None of us are his match.

So you are suggesting that we are finished!

I don't believe that, there must be someone who can defeat him!

Yes! There must be someone better than him!

We'll have to hire someone to fight him.

I'll give 500 teals of Gold.

I'll give 400 teals! ... 300 teals!

I'll give 200! ... I'll also give 200!

I give 400 teals!

All together that makes 2000 teals of Gold. That should be enough.

But still, who do we hire?

Thanks!

Good!

Catch it!

Good!

Very good skills! ... She's very pretty as well!

Your attention please!

That's Eight teals of gold around her neck

Anyone dares to take it off her neck? It will cost you five cents to have a try!

It's yours if you can take it! Anyone?

Let me go.. ... No me first, move away!

Whoever pays up first can try. ... There you go!

Careful there.

Try again.

Thank you. Please!

She's very strong. ... You're useless! Let me try.

Please!

Good try!

You didn't do so well too.

What if I can take the plates from her?... The reward will still be Eight teals of gold.

Okay!

Awesome.

Come and get it.

Who else wants to try?

Anyone else?

Tien Lung!

Oh it's you What a coincidence.

I came here to see you. ... Something wrong?

Lets find a place to talk ... Okay

Here, it's for you!

Please come in

Take a seat.

Do you know about Si Mun Kwang's background?

No!

He is the Ninth successor to teacher Wu Kung of Shaolin.

Want some tea?

Wu Kung formed a new style! Now the Japanese call it Karate.

He's aim is to defeat all styles of Chinese Kung fu to honour Wu Kung's name.

So will you help us? ... I'm not capable, I'm too old now.

To be effective in Kung Fu One must have...

Speed, Strength, and accuracy.

I'm old and slow and my strength is not there anymore...

Also my accuracy isn't quite there anymore!

We musk do something!!

I think you should find Kwan Shan Tiger, He's an expert in Hung Fist.

And the Dragon Fist expert Ma Ru Yun. Those two could possibly defeat Si Mun Kwang!

I know both of them, why didn't I think of them?

I have another one in mind! ... Who's that?

Me! ... You? Who are you?

I'm a Choy Lee Fut expert, Lau Tze Sing!

I'm looking for a fighter, not a tea boy!

You think I can't fight?

Strike, Chop, Stamp...!

Hey, stop!

You're a fool for not asking me! ... Just get us something to eat!

Who was that other man?

Do you remember that tournament two years ago?

Yes, Hung Piao was the Champion! ... Right!

But he's dead!

Just after that tournament, on his way home.

Suddenly, he was challenged by another fighter!

His name was Fei Shao Tang. ... He's the 6 Harmony style expert!

Right!

His teacher refused to let him fight in that tournament.

He was really unhappy when Hung Piao won that tournament.

So he waited at the Yellow Creek to challenge him!

Though Hung Piao won, it was only by a narrow margin.

Hung Piao is dead now but Fei Shao Tang is still alive!

It's possible that Fei Shao Tang can defeat Si Mun Kwang!

Where is he now?

He has a dyeing factory at Tsing Liang Village

Right, let's go and find these three men!

Bill please!

You leaving? ... Yes! The bill please!

Take me with you! ... What for? To die?

Don't think I'm useless! Let me demonstrate my skills!

Shall we play again?

Hey, try me! ... Are you kidding me?

No way! Not after you beat me last night!

Okay, I handicap myself! ... What sort of handicap?

Like this! So you except my challenge then?

He has no chance, you should take the bet.

Shall we bet?

Hey, is this challenge open to anybody? ... Yes!

Okay, You're on!

Big Cow! ... Yes! What is it?

Take him on! ... Okay!

Off course!

Don't be scared, you can beat him.

Really tough!

What's the matter? ... I was Just kidding.

Kidding? Who's kidding, come on now!

Sorry ... Look out, will you!

Okay, Put your money down!

I'm ready!

Hold it! First handicap yourself! Stick by your word now.

We surely win.

Big Cow will win!

Lau will lose.

Wait!

We want to increase our bets!

Right, let's increase it!

How about it? ... Go ahead, increase it.

How do we increase? ... Lend me $20?

Then I won't have enough!

$30 for me.

Come on!

We surely to win.

Give me my money! ... Why?

I played fair with you. I could have easily won your money.

What nonsense! I don't believe you, show me!

Okay watch this!

You see that?

You really are a cheat, I'll never gamble with you again.

Come on, Let's start work now!

Okay, but make sure you I get my $56 from his pay!

Ok! I'll do that!

Come on!

Hey, take this Cutter.

I don't need that!

There you go!

Tien Lung!

How's your luck today?

Forget it! No luck. I've lost all my today's pay too!

Can you lend me $200!

What's the use of Borrowing more money? You'll need more!

Really?

Will $2000 teals of gold be enough?

The teachers in his Village are willing to pay that much as long as...

Someone can defeat Si Mun Kwang!

That's why we're here!

Sorry! I'm not interested!

Why?

What makes you think I can defeat him?

Your skills combined with our men. I'm sure we win!

Not even for such a big reward? ... Sorry, no thanks!

I'll stick with my gambling!

Hey! You like gambling so much! Bet with me!

Okay but with what?

A Dice game! If you win, I give you $200! If I win, then you come with us!

- Okay! - You play him!

I can't gamble!

It's simple! The one who scores high will win!

Right!

Okay!

You first ... Okay, watch!

One! ... Come on pay me then?

But you haven't thrown the dice yet'!

One is the smallest number. ... Maybe it can be a draw!

Come on!

I surely win! No way I'll lose!

Okay just for you! Take a look!

Hey, you did worse! Not even a one!

You lost!

Some bad luck I have! Even the dice breaks!

Come on! Now you come with us!

Don't worry you can get the reward instead!

Let's go!

Sit still!

Hey, shall we gamble? ... What with?

Shao Tang!

Brother Tien Lung, What brings you here?

I have something important to discuss!

These are my friends!

Welcome

It's only been a few years and your son has grown so fast'!

He's my worker's son!

His parents wants me to teach him Kung fu!

Come inside please! ... Good! Come on!

Uncle, Uncle! Will you play a game with me'!

I'm not free now! Later, I promise!

Have some Walnuts?

Good boy!

I can't crack them, they too hard!

I'll crack it for you! ... Okay!

- Now you go out & play! - Okay!

Fei Shao Tang. ... Yes

Si Mun Kwang has defeated all our top fighters!

He has closed down many famous Gymnasiums in China.

He wants to rule the Kung fu world!

Someone must stop him! Otherwise Chinese Kung fu will be disgraced!

That's why we are here! We really do need your help!

What type of skills does he use?

Does anybody know his technique?

Tang Shae-Tao!

It was created by a shaolin monk known as Wu Kung!

It's now been adapted by the Japanese! It is now known as Karate!

Are you going to help us?

No!

You afraid of Si Mun Kwang'! That's why you don't want to go with us'!

That won't work on me and get me angry! I'm just not going!

Then I suggest we have a fight! If you lose, you'll have to come with us!

But lf I lose, what's the use of me going'!

Also If you win, you wouldn't need me!

Fei Shao Tang!

One time you were very keen on fighting!

Yes! But Three years ago I disobeyed my teacher!

And I was defeated in that fight!

Later my teacher died because of the shame I brought on him!

From then, I swore that I will never challenge anyone again!

Fei Shao Tang, this is no ordinary fight! We must stop Si Mun Kwang!

Or else our Chinese Kung fu will be ruined!

Sorry! I have taken an oath on my teacher!

Also I can't just leave my Factory!

So please, find someone else!

Please take care of yourselves! Good Bye!

You too!

I was an old friend of your teacher for many years and he always said!

The purpose of Practicing Martial ans was to...

To assist the Poor folks and help the weak! To do good for the people of our country!

Do you remember? ... Yes, I do!

Dad, don't waste anymore time! Let's go!

Good Bye!

Let's start practicing!

Okay! You ready?

Why not?

I won't practice anymore! ... Why not'!

That lady said you're afraid to fight! You won't help them fight an evil man!

You teach me to help the weak and protect the poor!

But you don't help your friends now! So what's the use of learning Martial arts?

Let's take a break! ... We've only travelled Three miles though!

I'm old and not strong like you all!

Dad are you tired'! I'll make you feel better!

Dad... You fooled us!

You knew that Fei Shao Tang will come!

I had second thoughts, so I decided to join you!

I knew you'll come! Let's go now!

Where's all our bags?

There over here!

Give back my wine now! Give it back!

Don't fight!

Not bad! Not bad!

He's not bad at all! One more fighter can be useful!

Okay, let's go! ... Yes, let's go!

Where are we meeting them? ... Hung Shing Temple!

Let's go!

Si Mun Kwang You evil bastard! You will pay for this!

Hey, the teachers are dead! Who will pay the reward now?

Money! Is that all you care for'!

Brother Tien Lung Let's bury them first!

Teacher!

Teacher! ... Get up!

The teachers have all been killed! ... I know! Who did it'!

It was Si Mun Kwang!

I shall avenge them!

We must exhaust his strength!

Okay, listen!

Si Mun Kwang is an incredibly tough fighter!

In addition to Karate he knows all the best forms of Shaolin styles!

Each one of you is only skilled in one particular technique!

Therefore you are all limited and can't defeat Si Mun Kwang!

To defeat him all of you will have to combine your styles and teach one man

That way we might be able to defeat him!

You all have to teach him your styles!
