Thank you.

Brought you some food.

Sister, have some.

You've not eaten for days.
You must be starving.

No, I'm not.

Now listen.

I know how
you must be feeling...

with the Ching Wu school
being wiped out.

Those murdering Japs--

we shouldn't have
trusted them.

But life has to go on. You have to eat.
You'll make yourself ill.

Brother Chen was quite right.

ThoseJapanese--
they gave their word, then broke it.

Look, we're here, the three of us.
We'll keep fighting!

Young man, I really
admire your spirit.

- But what could the three of you do?
- Not too much.

But even if we're killed,
there's millions of other Chinese.

The idea is right,
but not the time.

The best thing that you three can do
is to leave Shanghai.

But I'm still not clear why
in particular you want to go to Taiwan.

That's simple.
TheJapanese are there too.

I may get the chance to fight
against them there and take revenge.

Right.

That's what you want,
so I'll help you.

When can we leave?

It's all arranged. In the morning
the ship will sail from Shanghai.

- All okay?
- Sure.

Don't you worry.
It's all fixed up.

- They'll take you to the ship.
- Inspector, you've been very kind.

- I'm grateful. You saved our lives.
- Ah, you mustn't say that.

Now go on.

Oh, Miss Lee!

Before you go,
just a word of caution.

Taiwan's different--
not like Shanghai.

The folks are different,
so you be careful.

I know. Thanks.

- You know, it's a dangerous game.
- So what?

I just can't sit back and watch
while theJapanese kill them all off.

I know. But if you've got any sense,
you'll leave here.

- Sooner or later, your luck'll run out.
- Maybe so.

But in the meantime, I can help
save a few useful Chinese lives.

Slow down!

Quick! Quick!

Slow down!
I mean, I'm out of breath!

We gotta keep moving,
otherwise we'll miss that boat.

Well, that can't be helped.
I'm right out of breath.

You little rat, asking me to run.
I'll thump you!

You will?

- All right. Catch me first.
- I'll catch you, all right.

Come on. You're too old.
There's no way you'll ever catch me.

- We'll see.
- Will we? Well, try it.

- Right! And I'm gonna do just that!
- I'll give you a start.

No need.
I don't want no favors.

- Good. Right. One--
- Two, three--

Hey, you cheat, you!
Come back, you!

Hey, you cheat, you!
Come back, you!

Hey, Uncle, I'll thump these two guys.
That all right?

What do you think?
I'll kick their asses, huh?

Helong, no one's coming.
Go on-- belt 'em!

Hey, look!

My God. That hurt!

You bastards. Assholes.

Hey, I hate your guts.
Do you know that?

Hey, kiss my ass.
Go on.

Helong, cut it out. You're gonna
get yourself hurt. Don't be stupid!

Ah, don't worry.
They don't understand.

That right?

I hate your guts.

And I'm gonna thump you.

All right? All right?

Get lost.

Is that all you can say?

- What's the problem?
- Help me! These guys are gonna kill me.

- They're gonna kill me! They are!
- What's going on?

And you--
behave yourself, please.

- Thank you, Mr. Hong. Thank you.
- That's all right.

Go on, get lost!

Good. You got guts.

Yeah, so what?

TheJaps hit me, the Chinese do--
what's the difference?

It hurts, whoever it is.

Helong, keep a civil tongue
in your head.

I'm sorry.
Forgive him.

- He's stupid. Not his fault.
- Hey, what's that?

Hey, shut up!
Now, come on.

Hold it!

Hey, kid,
my teacher wants to see you.

- That's too bad.
- What's that?

It's an order,
not a suggestion.

- An order?
- Helong!

I'm sorry.
Don't worry. He'll come.

I'll make sure he does.

- Mr. Hong. What is it?
- TheseJapanese want to see the chief.

Who are they?

They're from
the governor's office.

Please.

- Mr. Hong, going in?
- Uh, no. I just brought them.

All right.

All right.

Arms up.

All right.

Go on.

Hands up.

All right.

Hey, over there.
Go on!

Why'd you come here?

- On a visit. I have relatives here.
- What's your name?

Maliar.

That's familiar.

It's my first time here.

You say you got family here?
Tell me what the name is.

- Su Onli.
- That so?

What's he to you?

- He's my grandfather.
- Your grandfather?

Well, now.
All right. Go on.

- Sorry. I'm sorry.
- Damn you!

Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry.

Excuse me.

And what's your name?

I'm Lung Se Chung.

Hey, are you sure
this is your real name?

I'll bet you've got
another name, haven't you?

You're a damn rebel,
come here to make trouble.

Well, I'm afraid
we've been waiting for you.

Take him!

- How many rooms?
- Two rooms, please.

Please.

This all right?

-Just arrived here?
- Yes.

- Staying long?
- We're not sure yet. Sorry.

- Right. I'll bring some tea.
- Thanks.

Oh, that's good.

Those beds on board were lousy.

This just feels so good.

Sister, I've got an idea
we're about to lose young fatso.

He's still a kid.

What? Hey, a " kid''?
I've already killed six Japs.

Quiet!

Remember, this is Taiwan, not Shanghai.
You never know who's listening.

So just be careful.

Go take a bath, all right?
Get to bed.

Right.

- What's wrong?
- The wooden box is gone.

It's gone?

- You're sure?
- Yeah.

Sorry. It's my fault.
You can beat me.

How could you lose it?
It's so important! My God!

How can we take revenge
for brother Chen now?

Hey, look.
Now, isn't that nice, huh?

Well, now, a nice box like that--
must be something valuable in it.

Gosh, must be our lucky day.

No wonder you were grinning like the cat
that's just stolen the canary.

- I did a good job.
- Hey, open it!

Listen, the person who lost such a nice
thing must feel bad. Don't you think?

So what do we care?

When we're starving,
are they gonna care about us?

-Just open it, huh?
- Hey, listen, let's just take it back.

Huh? Take it back?
Do you want us both to wind up in jail?

Open it up now!
Quick!

Listen, what are these?

Hey, it could be some
special sort of king's scepter.

You see any king?

- Why, no.
- Well, how would you know?

Hey, we're in trouble.

- What's wrong?
- Master, take a seat.

Our agent arrived here
but was arrested straightaway.

- My God.
- Yes, it's a blow.

How did they get onto him?
They're not usually so damn smart.

He just got off the ship.
How could they know?

- I don't know. Maybe one of our men--
- Oh, I don't think so.

How could it be?
Our men are all loyal.

Must be something else.
Anything new here? Anything different?

Mr. Su, I bumped into
a couple ofJaps today.

Went to the police.
I took them there.

They said they were from
the governor's office.

Do you think they're
involved in this? It could be.

Cheers, cheers!

These two men
from the governor's office--

they're very good friends
of Mr. Akumora.

They can fight really good too...

and they're real smart guys--
special agents.

Oh, uh,
pleased to meet you.

Welcome, welcome!

Now then, our distinguished
friend, Mr. Akumora, is here.

My apologies for
arriving here so late.

And to make it up,
let's all drink.

Tell me, sir, our distinguished
friend here-- what did he ask?

He asked about the martial arts
school here, were they a problem.

I said, no problem. With your help,
it was all under control.

Oh, no, no. All of the credit
deserves to go to you, sir.

Not at all, not at all.

I'm a Japanese. How could I lead
the Chinese martial arts schools?

Hey, you're too modest.
With the skills you have...

you'd be a natural martial arts leader
in any community, without a doubt.

You're flattering me.
Much too kind.

OurJapanese styles can never
compare with Chinese kung fu here.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
That's not true.

I bow to no other
martial arts school here...

with one exception,
and that's yours, sir.

Kung fu schools are good...

but still, in my view, sir...

for a town of this size,
we have too many kung fu schools, sir.

Bring them together,
now, under your control--

Oh, you think, then,
that I'm qualified?

Hey, of course!
Sure, you are.

And I can vouch for that too.

It's an interesting idea,
but how would it work?

There's too many schools.
Uh, let's see.

Bi Fung, Si Kong, Tai Young
and Yang Tai schools.

Like I said, too many.

Well now. I mean,
some of them are no problem.

My own school has always
supported your school.

But still there is one school--
Su Onli's-- that is very anti-Japanese.

He really needs watching.

Mr. Hong.

Grandpa got a kung fu school?

Not really.

He simply feels that
fitness is very important.

We're a business.
We trade mainly in tea and in lumber.

But we have
this unwritten rule...

that anyone who works for us
has to learn kung fu.

Mr. Hong, can you tell me
why my grandpa doesn't want me here?

Your grandfather has
good intentions.

Taiwan is occupied.
TheJapanese are in charge here.

So, therefore,
one puts up with a lot.

Now, two of your uncles--
both hot-tempered men--

were killed by theJaps.

So your grandfather's
pretty worried...

just in case
there's more trouble here.

I never knew this.

And right now he's all alone here.
Then, why can't I stay?

I think that what's worrying him
is that you're young, pretty.

TheJaps have no scruples,
especially with young girls.

That's why he's so scared.
You won't be safe.

He's by himself.
That's not nice.

Must be lonely.
How can he stand it?

He's a self-sufficient man.

Anyway, you should come first.
That's his view.

He shouldn't feel that way.
He's quite wrong.

Don't tell me I'm wrong.

You can't stay here.
Taiwan's not a safe place.

I'll let you stay
for a couple of weeks.

Wherever I go,
it can't be Shanghai, that's for sure.

- So, where else?
-" Can't be''? Why not?

The teacher at my school
was killed by theJaps.

Together with my friends,
who were also Ching Wu students...

we managed to escape.

If we go back,
theJaps'll kill us.

In that case,
you must leave Taiwan.

I'd be a burden, eh?

Burden? Do you think burdens
worry me at my age of life?

It's you I am worried about!

So I should go and hide?
That what you want?

And why not?

Your kung fu can't withstand guns.

Are you going to
drive theJaps all out by yourself?

Grandfather, let me speak.

All the Chinese's problems stem from the
fact they won't stand up for themselves.

What?
You think I'm afraid?

Miss Lee, you underestimate
your grandfather.

I don't think so.

Grandpa, why are theJaps here?

Because we didn't fight-- too scared.
So we let them walk in.

ThoseJapanese only
understand one thing:

blood for blood,
eye for eye...

death for death.

- You think I'm scared, huh?
- Would I have come here?

Good.
You're a brave girl.

I hate theJaps.

That's why I came here--
so I can take revenge.

Good. And you will.

And I'll help you to do it.

- Mr. Hong?
- Yes?

- See her baggage is brought up.
- Right.

Hey, kid, come on over here.
Come on!

Come on with me.

Hey, kid, it's all right.
Don't worry.

Wait here.

Teacher,
that young kid has arrived.

Bring him in.

Hey, come on. Come on in.

What do you want?

I'm opening a casino.
I need some men.

And from what I've seen of you,
I reckon you'd fit.

- No, thanks.
- No, thanks?

Not good enough, huh?
Better than being a thief.

A thief? Sure, I steal,
but only from strangers.

I never steal from locals.
You see, I do have some principles.

Hey, listen.

You ought to be a little more civil--
kneel down and kowtow to the teacher.

Teacher?
Not my teacher.

Hey, I brought you here
so you can join the school.

So you did,
but I don't want to.

Refusing to join us?

Helong, so we're not
good enough for you, eh?

It's not that.
I don't want to learn kung fu.

That the only reason?

Why, sure.
I've lots of freedoms as a thief.

But if I come here,
I'm tied.

But you must have some other reasons.
So, what are they?

What are they?

It's because you creep around
theJapanese,just like little dogs!

You make me sick,
all right?

Hold it!

So our school here isn't good enough
for a fine young man like you.

You can go.

You bet I'll go.
Wouldn't stay if you paid me.

What's this?

Did you really believe
you can simply walk out of here?

Well, you can't.
Close the door.

- Come on! Come on!
- Get him!

Come on, come on!

Sister, look!

It's them.

Well, who's the boy?

One of the locals.
Good-for-nothing.

Let's see if he's still alive.

Mr. Hong, he's alive.

Well, let's take him home.

- Wait here.
- Yes.

- Master.
- Yes?

- Old Chin's here.
- Ah, bring him in then.

Old Chin,
come in, come in.

Master, you sent for me?

That's right, I did.
I've got something to ask you.

Be pleased to help.

I hope you can.

See these two clubs?
How did you come to get them?

I'm sorry. In fact,
I sent my young boy to take them back.

You see, I was--

These two clubs aren't worth much,
but they mean a lot to me.

So, tell us--
just how did you get them?

Me and the boy were
down at the docks today.

When you weren't looking, we--
We thought you rich strangers.

Later, we just found these.

But if we'd known who you were,
friends of Master Su's...

we wouldn't have done it,
I can promise you that.

You're not young anymore.

You ought to find a steady job,
and the young boy as well.

Master, we don't have any trade though,
so what else can we do?

Still, we got principles.
We never steal from the locals.

But your boy-- he's more than a thief.
He's always getting into trouble!

Trouble? No, no.
That can't be, sir.

My boy is well liked.
Ask anyone.

They'll all tell you
he's a nice boy.

Someone doesn't agree with you.

Today they nearly
beat him to death.

- Where is he?
- We found him in a ditch.

He was very nearly dead,
so we brought him back here.

It must have been
Lin Ching Kai.

But why would Lin
want to beat him?

Lin Ching Kai wanted
the boy to join his school.

But the boy--
he hates thoseJapanese...

and can't stand the way
Lin kowtows to them.

And he sent for the boy today.

He must have refused to join,
so they beat him up.

That boy's got character.

Master Hong, where is he now?

He's in the back. He's resting.

I'd better take him home. Don't know
how I'm going to do it though.

- What is it?
- Chin wants to see you.

- Where is he?
- In the garden.

Well? What's wrong?

The boy was nearly
beaten to death.

Who was it?

Not sure.

But they beat him half to death,
then left him in a ditch.

- Lucky some friends found him.
- Where is he now, though?

He's still at home,
unconscious.

- I must see him.
- You can't!

You can't.
You mustn't go there!

Why not?
I'm his mother!

So why?
Why can't I go see him?

I beg you, don't you ever
let him know that you're his mother!

- Well, why not?
- That boy-- he just hates theJapanese.

So imagine
how he'd feel about you.

All these years you didn't want
to tell him, so why now?

If he knew about you,
maybe he'd kill himself!

But still, though,
I do want to help him.

Help him.
Give me some money to get a doctor!

Go.

All right.
Come out. I'm here.

- Good.
- So you're back.

You practice hard, and then you can
protect your old father.

Who'd have the nerve
to attack you?

Well, this evening
some guys tried to kill me.

Oh, who was behind it then?

Don't know.

But still, I think the likeliest bet
is the Seven Peaks school.

Right.
I'll teach them a lesson.

- Yes, miss. Can I help you?
- Help me?

Hold it!

What's this? After all...

my school here
has never done you any harm.

So what's going on?
What's wrong?

What's wrong?
Well, you should know that.

After all, didn't you
send some men to kill me?

Kill you?
We'd never do that.

We're a kung fu school, so calm down.
Let's not fight.

It seems we have a problem.
Let's discuss it.

Right. Tell me, why did you send
your men to kill my father last night?

I did no such thing.
Why should I? I'm no killer.

Well, it's possible
we made a mistake.

So let's have a talk on the future
of the schools. I'll be host.

Where are they?

Don't you worry.
They'll be here. It's still early.

You asked them to come,
so they'll be here.

That so? I think we might miss dinner
and have supper instead.

Sure! I'm not hungry.
Not hungry at all.

Akumora, let's
change it to supper.

Nonsense!

Nonsense. You're right.
It's nonsense.

But still, it's an idea.

And a lousy one.

This means
they don't respect me.

I invite all the teachers of the kung fu
schools here, and only three come?

- They've insulted me!
- Ha! What'd you expect?

He's the only one
who wanted to come.

But us two--
we sure didn't.

Are you saying they'll cooperate
only if I use force?

Even if you use force, the Chinese
may still not cooperate with you.

Hey, no, no, no, no, no!
What you say is just your opinion.

Most of the Chinese
will cooperate.

I mean, after all,
you came here.

I was forced to.
But still...

I don't intend to cooperate.

And I only came to find out
what he's up to.

I wanted to discuss
the future of martial arts...

but not anymore--
forget it!

I'm sorry. In that case,
I'll go back home.

Since you people won't
give me due respect...

I shall return the compliment.

So in future,
you'd better be careful!

You know, it's so big,
there's no end.

Silly.
Of course there's an end.

Hey, look!

There's the kid
who stole our things.

Yes.

- What is it?
- Still not learning kung fu?

What for-- so I can fight?

Fight? Fight who?

Don't give me that.
TheJaps, of course.

You guys want to fight them,
and you want me to help.

- You don't have to fight.
- Then why learn it?

It's hard,
takes a lot of work.

It's not for fighting.
Our kung fu keeps you fit.

What's more,
it makes you self-reliant.

If you want to learn,
I'll teach you.

You'll teach me?

Of course. Why not?
Don't think I can?

These two are both
my students.

Believe me?

Would you like to have a go?

No, I never fight with girls.

- Wanna learn?
- No, thanks.

Up to you. See you.

I hear you're
Master Su's grandchild.

That's right.
Today it's his 80th birthday.

So then, why don't you
come for dinner?

Congratulations.

Please, this way.

- Oh, thank you.
- Congratulations!

- Congratulations, Master Su.
- Thank you.

Oh, there you are!

I just had to come here.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, thanks.

You know, I must say, you look great.
I mean, nothing like 80.

You know,
you look extremely fit.

Just as handsome
as you ever were.

Oh, that's right. You haven't been
to see us for a very long time.

Hey, now, come on,
let's not talk business.

Master Su's a leader
in martial arts here.

He wouldn't go to your place,
so you mustn't suggest that.

Oh, you can't say that.

I'm just getting older,
getting useless too.

Master Su, congratulations
on your birthday.

Oh, thank you, thank you.
Now, get up, get up, get up.

You've grown up now
into a fine young man.

I hear your kung fu's good.

- Oh, no, but I try.
- Good, good.

Hey, you two!
Why are you hiding there?

Come on out. Come on!

Excuse me.

- My respects to you.
- Ah, thank you.

No need for that.
We're old friends.

Helong,
show your respects now.

He saved your life
for you, remember?

Oh, yes.
Oh, congratulations, sir.

Oh, get up, get up, get up.

Fine young man--
good physique.

Bet he's a good fighter.

But you mustn't go around
making trouble though...

just because you're
a good fighter, huh?

Don't you mix
with the wrong type, hmm?

A lot of them around too.
So you beware.

Once you get involved
with the wrong sort...

it's difficult
to turn back then, huh?

Hey, look. The ones
to watch are the traitors...

who support theJaps here, huh?

I know.

Sure.
You're often in trouble.

At least, so I'm told. So then,
you take Master Su's advice, huh?

Uncle, who's she then?

Never mind. Never mind.

Master, the guests are
all here now, so it's time.

Right, right.

My good friends...

and all my dear relatives
here tonight...

today I've attained
my 80th birthday.

I'm honored you all came here.

First of all,
I'd like to thank you...

for your kindness
and devotion.

So then, when I make my toasts
now, they reflect my feelings.

So my first toast, then,
is for peace and plenty...

to the people ofTaiwan.

Long may they live.

Long may they prosper in peace.

And now, my second toast...

is for unity, cooperation...

and understanding
amongst the kung fu schools.

And for my third toast...

I just hope that we can
work to a common end.

I mean, all of us are Chinese.

We're just one big family.

We live the same,
we hope the same...

and we have a common destiny.

Let us strive together,
come good or bad.

Master Su,
that was well said.

You're the martial arts leader.
What you ask, we will do.

I just hope you mean that...

and are not simply saying that
in order to please me.

- Oh, sure, sure, I do. Sure, I do.
- Oh, good, good, good.

Let's go in.

Master, there's trouble.

- Be right back.
- Right.

Well, Mr. Su,
congratulations.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

I'm afraid we've
gate-crashed though.

- I hope you don't mind.
- I'm delighted to see you.

This is my daughter,
Jen Da So.

And this is Chinese kung fu
top expert, Mr. Su.

Oh, no, I'm not.
I'm much too old now for martial arts.

Mr. Su, I had hoped
that you would teach me.

Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm 80 years old now.

I mean, a real old man.

But Mr. Su,
there is a Chinese saying...

" The older, the better."

In kung fu, the same thing must apply.
Is that right?

No, no.
I'm afraid it doesn't.

I could learn from you.
I'm sure of it.

You flatter me.
Thank you, thank you.

That man, the one
with the red face-- who's he?

That's a famous Chinese
legendary character, Kwong Gung.

- A warrior.
- Kwong Gung? What did he do?

Legend has him as a hero...

very good at kung fu
and a brave fighter.

And that's why theatrical folk have
a very great respect for his memory.

Well, he certainly does look
very fierce.

You know what?
We have a similar hero too.

Do you think that our hero
was better than yours was?

Ah, those are just legends.

Who could say one way or the other?

I say our hero was a lot tougher
than yours was. Do you think so?

I wouldn't know,
'cause I never saw them.

You don't know.

I'll prove it to you.

Right. Who was the toughest hero?

The Chinese or theJapanese?

TheJapanese, of course.

- You.
- Sir?

You be our hero.
You go and challenge the Kwong Gung.

Sir!

Down with your Chinese hero!

Whoever he is, let him come out.

Fight. All right?

All right to theJapanese!

I'm ready to fight!
Come and fi--

Let's go.

Master?

Grandpa?

Master?

Let's go home.
Come on.

You know, I came to Taiwan
with hatred in my heart.

I hated theJaps
for what they'd done to us.

And now those swine--
they killed my grandpa.

Yeah, something must be done.

Because if it's not,
they'll kill us all.

I have an idea.
It may work.

It's worth a try.

I think I'll restart the school,
the Ching Wu school. Think I can?

Well, in this place, starting a school
certainly wouldn't be easy.

I know that.
But still, I must try.

We'll get the young men,
the patriots...

and wait for the right time.

And one day we'll take revenge.

Still, I'm just a girl.
I'll need your help.

You're a brave girl.
I can see that and admire it.

Don't worry, you can rely on me.

- Whatever you want, I'll do.
- Thank you.

One, two, three...

four, five...

six, seven...

eight, nine...

ten, eleven...

twelve...

thirteen, fourteen...

fifteen, sixteen...

seventeen...

eighteen, nineteen...

twenty, twenty-one...

twenty-two, twenty-three...

twenty-four, twenty-five.

Stop. Good. Keep practicing.

What do you think? Okay?

Not bad.

- Teacher, be back.
- Right.

- What are you doing?
- Looking.

- Hey, come in.
- No.

- Age?
- Eighteen.

Teacher. I saw him outside.

I dragged him in.
I think he should join us.

I wish you'd join.
You'd be most welcome.

And why not?

Our kung fu keeps you fit.
It's good for you.

I told you before.
I'm not interested.

I really would like you to join us.

Why don't you just try it?
If you don't like it, pack it in.

Hey! Why not try it?

It won't harm you.

No, thanks.

I don't understand him.

Hold it there.

Ching Wu school? What is this?
Who started it?

Me. What do you want?

Mr. Ching, since the old master
passed away...

his old school just sort of
fell away.

So Miss Lee thought that she'd
try to start a new school.

A new school? You didn't consult me.

Well, why should we?
It's a family affair.

Nonsense. I tolerated the old school
for a long time...

out of respect for the old man.

But a new school here?
No way.

No way? We'll do what we want.
Have you got that?

If you use my school's name,
then you can.

Get lost!

Of all the schools here,
yours is the worst.

Get him.

Right. Come on!

- You okay?
- All right.

Mr. Chin, what do you want?

I'll tell you. If you want this school
to stay open...

then adopt my name or close it down.

- We should take your school's name?
- Mm-hmm.

And after that become traitors
like you?

Is that what you want?

Go to hell, you bastard.

You lousy bastard!

Grab my hair, eh?

Damn you!

Now you get out of here!
Go on!

Hold it.

Come on.

Akumora, I've really lost face.

You've really gotta help me
to get revenge.

Calm down. So what's so urgent?
Tell me. What happened?

Akumora, I tell you...

your Di Wah school
is no longer the best in this town.

Oh? And which school is the best, then?
And what is it called?

They're calling themselves
the Ching Wu school.

Ching Wu? Don't know that name.

Nor me. I'd never heard of it.

I went there. I was gonna teach them
a lesson, but got beaten instead.

Well, maybe it's not them
that's so good.

Perhaps it's your school
that's no use.

It's not my school
that's worrying me.

I was thinking of your school.

After all,
they're not showing you respect.

They're just ignoring your existence.

Even said they'd never heard
of your school.

And they claimed that they were
the best school in town.

Oh? They really said that?

Sure! I heard it.

Right. I promise you...

tomorrow I'm gonna
smash that place up.

And just what the hell
is this Ching Wu school?

If you must know, it's a martial arts
school. Should be obvious.

- Who's talking to you?
- I'm in charge here.

It's like this.
After our old master passed away...

the old school was closed down...

and we've just started a new one.

Have you? Why wasn't I asked?

It's entirely our business.
Why should we ask a Japanese?

Because I tell you to!

WeJapanese are in charge.
We control everything.

That's just garbage.

Get this.
TheJapanese are the best.

Now then, the name of the school.

Just what does " Ching Wu'' mean?

So you don't know
what the words mean?

Right. I'll tell you.

" Ching,'' that means unity.

" Wu,'' that means resistance.

Well, that's not a bad name at all.

But still, you change it.

Now listen. Let me ask you.

What if we object to the name
of your school?

Would you change it then?
Would you?

You Taiwan pigs!

You dare compare yourself
with us?

Daughter, get that sign.

Right.

Yes. That's very good.

Right. Let's take this trash away.

All right. Go on home.

Now listen!

Do you see this school sign?

I didn't like it,
so I closed it.

- Hey, listen. What's all this?
- Mind your own business.

We're in charge...

and you'll do what you're told.

No freedom.
You'll just obey our orders.

Goddamn it.

In the martial arts,
theJapanese are the best.

So if you want to learn it,
you study it at my school.

Otherwise you enroll at any other
school, I'll wreck the damn place!

Damn him.

If you don't agree...

then step out and say so.

I kill Chinese just like I kill dogs.

Your lives are worthless!
And if you should disobey me...

you're as good as dead!

We're gonna run this place
as we like.

If anyone tries to resist us,
I'll smash their bones to pieces...

just like this sign!

Let's go.

Bastards!

All right.

Everyone listen. Look.

One.

And two.

But can anyone break
the whole bundle?

If so, I'll be his slave for life.

Can anyone do it?
Can they?

Well, speak up.

An individual may be weak,
but unity is strength.

Why do we let theJapanese insult us?

Why sit back and let them
tyrannize us?

Why not unite and fight them?

Right.

I never wanted to learn kung fu.

But from tomorrow on,
I shall learn.

I'll train till I know how to fight.

We all have to train to fight them.

And throw them out!

Listen. If anyone wants to join
the Ching Wu school...

come with me.

I do.

My God,
the boy has finally grown up.

Helong. Know what?
I'm real proud of you.

Let's fix the sign
and take it back.

Right. Yeah. Come on.

We'll come.

Right. All the true Chinese
come with me.

Right! Yeah, we will!

Mr. Hong, we brought your sign back
for you.

Thank you!
Let's take it in.

Yeah. Come on.

Miss Lee, I know I was wrong.

I want to learn kung fu.
So will you teach me?

I'd be proud to.

We're very grateful to you.
Thanks a lot.

Besides, within you
I found something.

Found something in me?

The true spirit and meaning
of the Ching Wu school.

Thank you, teacher.

No, get up, get up.

- Miss Lee.
- Know what?

Helong is just like Chen Chun.

His attitude, his spirit.

So much like him.

Brother, rest in peace.

The school can carry on...

when there's men like you.

Now Ching Wu fights again!

That's good.

Right. Again.

Stop.

Next ones.

Enough.

I must say you've improved
quite a lot.

- You're really fast.
- Only thanks to both your efforts.

I've something valuable
to give to you.

Give to me? What is it then?

A technique of my master's,
and perfected by brother Chen.

Thank you. What is it?

Fist of fury.

Yes, hello?

What?

What's that?

Right. Will do.

Mr. Ling. Please wake up.

What's wrong?

- Orders.
- Orders?

- Arrest someone.
- Arrest who?

- Arrest some rebels.
- Arrest some rebels.

What? Where are they?

At the Ching Wu school.

Wake up.

Wake up, sir.

Listen, sir. I've just received orders
to arrest some Chinese rebels...

hiding out at the Ching Wu school.

I'll be back here soon.

Sure.

Ouch, ouch!

- What's the matter?
- My stomach hurts.

I'll be right back.

Old Chin.

- What?
- Come here.

I'm coming.

What brings you here
this time of night?

- Hurry up. Go to the Ching Wu school.
- What for?

TheJapanese know there's
some rebels hiding there.

I heard them.
They're on their way there now.

Why are you suddenly so worried
about the rebels?

Are you stupid?
Have you forgotten my son?

He is studying
at the Ching Wu school now.

Oh, my God! I'll go right now.

Help him.

Miss Lee?

What is it?

Trouble for our friends.

TheJaps are on their way here now.

- How do you know?
- Old Chin here told me.

- They'll have to leave here.
- Leave here?

They don't know the way!

- I'll take them.
- You? It's dangerous.

I know.

But in all my life
I've done nothing worthwhile.

But I'm Chinese. I can't let
theJaps kill our Chinese patriots.

So even if it kills me,
I'm going to help them.

Thank you. Off you go.
I'll handle theJaps.

Right. Let's go.

Open the gate! Open up!

- Sorry, you'll have to go.
- What's the matter?

Trouble. TheJapanese have found out
that you're hiding here.

You must leave now.
This man here will lead you.

Hurry up. Not much time.

You bring the equipment along.

Listen. Take them out the back way,
to the beach. All right?

Right. Come on. Come with me.

Right, forward.

- Search the place.
- Right.

Mr. Hong, what is this?

Sitting here by yourself?

I am reading.

I always read here, every night.
It's a habit.

Don't get smart with me. I know
you've been harboring rebels here.

Bring your students out.

Well, if that's what you really want,
I'll go get them.

But you won't find any rebels.

Now, I know there's rebels here.

I advise them to step forward...

to save trouble.

Take my advice,
and you won't be hurt.

But if you don't,
you'll be killed.

Captain, all of us are
residents of the town here.

We're not rebels.
See for yourself.

All right, then.
Who's in charge of this place?

- Speak up.
- Me.

- Me!
- Me!

So you're all in charge.

Well, no problem.
I'll take these two first.

Dealing with you Chinese,
I've always been pleasant.

Yes, and courteous. Now then,
the reason for bringing you here...

is in order that we can
avoid unpleasantness.

- Sorry, I'm afraid you've lost me.
- What do you want?

That's simple.

All I want to know is
where those rebels are. Tell me.

- Rebels? What rebels?
- Yeah, what rebels?

Stop the playacting. I know you don't
think highly of us Japanese. Do you?

Well, irrespective
of what we may think of you...

it still doesn't make us rebels.

But I never said
that you two are rebels.

But still, I promise,
I'm gonna find out.

Mr. Hong, you know me,
don't you?

Sure I do. Captain,
I was born and bred here.

You know me. I'm no rebel.

And the lady--
your name is Lee.

And I know that you came here
from Shanghai.

You see, I know most things.

That's right. I'm from Shanghai.

But so what? Do I have " rebel''
stamped across my forehead?

You'd better watch your lip!

You don't scare me.
Not all Chinese are cowards.

That's enough. Captain.

She's still young, that's all.
Please forgive her.

Young, is she? I'll help her
to grow up, and quickly too!

- Get a whip!
- Sir!

I'm giving you one more chance.
Tell me the truth or you'll die.

Kill me, but you can't kill
the whole Chinese nation though.

That's for sure.

Let me tell you, the minute I came
in here I was resigned to death.

Captain, you should investigate
this further.

After all, you've no proof
that we're rebels.

You can kill us both, I know that.

But the whole town will rise up
once they find out.

So what?

Well, all right. Go on.
Do what you want. Kill us.

Right.

Hey, hey! Hold it!

Captain, what are you trying to do?

Everybody knows Mr. Hong
is a real fine man.

He was born in this town.

His family have been honest traders
for many years.

And they've never been rebels,
I'm quite sure of that.

You take my advice
and you let them go, huh?

- Release them.
- Very wise.

I'll guarantee them too. And you can
have my head if I should be wrong, huh?

All right. Let's go.

Please, please.

Taiwan is supposed to be
under our control.

But the general feelings of the people
here certainly aren't.

They all want revenge...

and that is dangerous.

What's dangerous?
I can kill the whole damn lot off!

My God, come on!
Kill them all?

With their numbers,
it can't be done.

You should read military history.

Avoid massacres.

Nothing more calculated
to make them rebel.

Yeah, I know. But this group all know
kung fu, and they're a tough bunch.

All right, what do we do?
Let them do what they want?

It's not that bad.
You just leave it to me.

Sure. You can fix them.

Well, I do have a plan...

to wipe the leaders out
without looking official...

or pointing to us.

But I'll need your help...

because I'll probably
need to use your name in this.

Of course! You say the word,
and I shall be right there.

Mr. Hong?

Come here, and quickly.

What's wrong?

An invitation.
It's from the governor's office...

so you make sure that you're there
or you'll be arrested.

Right.

What is all this? Let's see.

My God, that's an order,
not an invitation!

Sure it is. And if we don't go,
they'll arrest us.

How could they, though?
What reasons?

Huh? Do they need reasons?

Right. They'd love to move
against us.

Don't provoke them.

I think we should go there.

I'd like to know
what they're up to.

Well then, the better fighters
will go there.

Maybe half a dozen.

- And the rest will stay here.
- Right.

Please.

The Ching Wu school.

We're late. I'm sorry.

Well now, I'm glad you came.

I have orders.
They came from the governor's office.

In future all martial arts schools
come under my control.

Well now, do you have
any comments?

In fact, since Taiwan is
underJapanese control anyway...

you have no choice.

I will do just what I want.

But still, as a martial arts man,
I respect you.

So I'd like to hear your opinions.

Well now, have you got any views?
Let's hear them.

Well now, sir,
that's very nice of you.

And I'm sure that we'll all be pleased
to put our school under yours.

Ha! It may please you...

but kung fu schools
have always been separate...

so why change the system?

Different schools just mean
different techniques. That's good.

Makes for healthy competition.
So why combine?

Makes no sense.

- I don't agree.
- Well now, there's two choices.

And one is
all the martial arts schools...

will take the name
of my Di Wah school.

The other one is to challenge
my students, here and now.

If anyone manages to beat them...

I'll change my school name to theirs.

There's no need for that. It's only
a minor matter. Let's think it over.

No! I want this thing settled,
and settled now.

In fact, my Di Yang school
has always helped yours.

We will do whatever you say.

Your school and my school
are like brothers.

That's your opinion. Your school
can never be compared with my school.

You will change your name.
Just like the others will!

I-- I have to change?

Ha! All your crawling
did you no good.

My two students will challenge
anyone here.

Those who object can step up.

Now!

Just be careful.

I object.

And I challenge your men.

Are you aware that this will be
a fight to the death?

I am aware of that.

Which one do you choose?

Who cares? I'll take on the two
if they like.

No, you won't! They'll say
theJapanese didn't play fair.

Well, theJapanese never play fair,
so that's nothing new.

Let's start. Come on.

Well, if that's what you really want.
Begin.

Well, now. Are you
changing your name now or not?

Even if you kill me,
I won't change.

That's final.

Right. You better go home,
and we can discuss this some other time.

Let's go.

Well, is there anyone else here
who would like to challenge my men?

Is there no one else here
who has the guts?

Nobody fights.

And no one wants to talk.

Well then, I take it you all agree
to change your names.

If not, this is your last chance
to object.

So speak up if you don't agree.

All right with me.

To change my name to Di Wah
would be an honor.

All right. And you?

Damn it.

- Hold it.
- I challenge him.

- Come back!
- Don't!

Right.

Brother!

I'll kill you!

Helong, here!

Right. Hurry.

Helong, are you all right?

I'm all right.

Those damn Japanese.
They're tricky.

Now listen. If you want to fight
theJaps, come with me.

What's that?

Captain, the Ching Wu school
must have won.

Get back.

Come on!
Come on, then!

I'm with you!
