Hung Hsi-kwan

We control the whole Monastery now

Hung, where do you think you're going?

Hsiang Chao-hui

Here, sir

I am at your disposal, My Lord

How many times do I have to tell you?

Don't you address me as "Lord",

when I'm not in uniform

Yes, yes!

We burned the Shao Lin Monastery

All those who were inside are burnt

Even those who managed to escape

have been killed

But we couldn't find Hung Hsi-kwan

There are bodies scattered all over the place

I think Hung must have been killed too

What if he escaped?!

We caught two men

Where is Hung Hsi-kwan?

I don't know

You saw it, are you going to tell me?

I'll tell you

You'd better!

Hung Hsi- kwan escaped...

to lead the patriots

and kill all Manchu natives

General, all the monastery men are...

Shao Lin disciples

and Chinese patriots

You can't force them to talk

Mai Hsin, which side are you on anyway?

I'm only stating the facts here

What a pity! I don't have the chance to ...

fight with those Shao Lin kung fu experts

to have a fair contest

General Che, you are our leader

this is a war, not a test of trifle skills!

You have no idea!

Gen. Che's kung fu is the best in Manchuria

He learn it from the living Buddha lama

I don't think any Chinese can match him

Yes, yes!

I want to meet Chinese kung fu men

Hope I can meet Hung Hsi-kwan some day

We should be promoted

... for burning Shao Lin

Rubbish, we'd better look for Hung Hsi-kwan

otherwise we'll be punished

Hung Hsi-kwan

Hung could've gone to South-west

probably heading for Kwangtung

My Lord, Hung's kung fu is too good, I...

You are still alive !

That means you didn't try your best

My Lord, please allow me to make up for it

This is an example for not fighting hard

Stop!

What's the matter?

I said stop and do as I told you

Ridiculous! This road is not yours

Hold your tongue

His Lordship is looking for Shao Lin men

Break out wood man lane

Beat down plum blossom trap

Who is the Shao Lin hero?

There he is

Stop!

I said stop, do you hear me?

Friend, what's your name?

Fang Shih-yu

What happened to you two?

We were walking along the road...

when a man attacked us. Then...

That was bad luck,

been beat up without any reason

Two guys jumped me back there

I took them to be robbers

so I beat them up

The one who attacked us

was like an animal

No wonder you look like you've been mauled

Can you walk?

Shall I send in a wagon from town?

No. May we know your good name please?

Fang Shih-yu

The hero Fang

You must be careful!

The robber is a cruel devil

He shows no mercy

You better leave

I will teach him a lesson

It'll be his bad luck if he meets me

Are you from the authorities?

No, we are hired escorts

This robber put us in a tough spot

You'd better watch out. Hung is his name

It's he who should worry, not me

Shao Lin man, you think you can escape?

You are...

We're looking for a guy named Hung

We are looking for the robber Hung

Hero Fang, we are escorts. Hung robbed us

We were injured

and some of us were killed

Hung is real mean

I must get him

Hero Fang, Hung is dressed in black...

and has a fierce-looking appearance

He has wounds on his body and one leg

Alright

Excuse me, have you seen

a man who's dressed in black...

he is wounded and looks fierce?

No

Excuse me, have you seen...

What's the name of the man you want?

I only know Hung is his last name

What do you want him for?

He's mean. I wish to teach him a lesson

You talk like you are a kung fu expert

Good...fast and neat-handed

You sure know good kung-fu!

May I know your name?

Fang Shih-yu

Hold it!

It's an honor for me to know such a hero

Manchu burned the Shao Lin Monastery

You mustn't reveal your name

... in public

I'm not afraid. If I meet the Manchu...

I'll teach them a real good lesson

May I have the honor of a drink with you?

My pleasure, let's go! Please!

Please

Please sit...

Brother Hung

You are...

I am Nien Shui-ching

Are you the son of Gen. Nien Ken-yao?

The kid who joined the Shao Lin Monastery

after the Manchu killed the general?

Yes

My! You're quite a grownup now

Over there

I'm Hung His-kwan

Hero Hung, you are a great man. You...

You are Manchurian's jackal

Don't even think that I'll spare you

Who else escaped from the monastery?

I've been on the run for more than ten days

nearly met Manchurian everyday

You are the only man I've met from our side

All the Manchurian are after you

You're injured!

I'll stay in this empty house tonight

You go look for Li Shih-chung in town

Tell each of our men you meet

...to wait there for me

Brother Hung

I'll stay with you

They'll easily find us if we're together

Remember you must avenge your father's death

But you're injured

I'm asking you to go

Obey your elder brother

If we go different ways...

we'll have more chance

of meeting our men

Master, why do you

... let a Shao Lin man go?

I'm saving your lives

You mean we can't beat him?

Tiger Lei was good, but he killed him

I've been drinking the whole night

don't even know who paid for me

Take your hands off him

Come back

I just didn't want to get involved

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

Why did a man like you

commit such unforgivable crimes?

You're good, but you are injured

It'd be a risk to take anything for granted

Let's fight again when you recover

I don't need help when I'm fighting

Hung, you are not a man

Hero Fang, get him quickly

Or else, he'll kill all of us

Stop!

You are...

Why did he stop suddenly during the fight?

Hero Fang,

thanks for your help

We'll take care of him

Don't mention it

This man is a kung fu expert

He deserves an easy death

We don't kill the innocent. Don't worry

By the way, what's your name?

My name is Mai Hsin

Master Mai, see you again

Bye

Guys like you! I despise you, go away

I don't want to trouble the Yamen

The reason I came here is because

Master Hsiang said you're loyal to us

Gen. Teh, it's an honor to have you here

Gen. Teh caught Hung, the No. 1 rebel

Indeed a great victory for you

I just managed to nip a small robber

Nothing worth a mention

Yes...

Rebel Hung His-kung has been brought here

Where is he?

Inside the cage

General, the prisoner is fierce. I...

Free him

Let's witness how fierce he is!

Open it

So audacious!

On your knees & beg the General for mercy

Hands off

Shut up

Where is Fang Shih-yu?

He's done his job. He has left

Hold it, I want to question him

Even though we destroy Shih Lin Monastery

But he knows all the Shio Lin men

in Kwangtung and Fukien

Sister, it's been a long time

Are you still in grief?

Come on, cheer up

Everyone, have a look

This is the hero

Fang Shih-yu

What's the matter?

Is this man Fang Shih-yu?

What's the matter with you all?

Is there anything wrong with Master Li?

You're still so stubborn

Someone ought to fix you & your temper

Did you hear that? He took care of Hung...

And now he wants to take on Master Li

I was told Fang is not that kind of man

But it couldn't be wrong

They didn't make up the story

Fang is also a Shao Lin disciple

But he helped the Manchu to arrest Hung

I'd better report it to Teacher Wu Mei

Somethin' fishy, I reckon!

Fang is not that kind of man

After I heard the monastery was burned down

I sent my man

to look for survivors

But before my man could find Hung...

he had been arrested

My man followed them

They heard that Hung kept on yelling

He said Fang help the Manchu dogs

It's strange that the local authorities

are not aware as to where Hung Hsi-kwan

... is been kept now

And they lack no special precautions

I think Brother Hung must be dead

Hung His-kwan in Manchu's captivity!

They might make him suffer

but they won't kill him.

They'll keep him alive for information

Your cellar makes an ideal prison

Harsh punishment is what

some people need

Right

I'm not exaggerating, Hung been kept here

Even if he could fly, he still can't escape

I'll make him talk

even if I have to cut him into pieces

I'll get him talkin'

Yes

I heard there is a Li Shih-chung in town

whom everyone respects

and people address him as "Master"

Yes, this Li Shih-chung is always against us

Strangers always visit his home

To me he seems a suspicious character!

Send more men to keep an eye on him

Yes, General

Fang is important in Shao Lin

We should take care of this rebel too

Fang Shih-yu, we don't have to do that

His own men will fix him up

Fang Shih-yu has come

Alone?

Yes, he is alone

He said he wants to see you

That bastard!

Calm down

Tell the guard outside to let him in

Yes

What's wrong?

Master always used to welcome me

What's wrong today?

Everyone is acting a bit strange

Getting a bit snobbish, are we!

What do you want?

A good question... , "what do I want?"!

If you don't like me, I won't come again

But I'd rather clear up one thing first

The Manchu burned down the Monastery and...

killed our man. What are you going to do?

Yes. They burned the Monastery and...

caught Hung after he escaped from the fire

Li Shih-chung, who are these people?

Patriots sworn to

restore the Ming Dynasty

Li Shih-chung

You've gone over to the Manchu

You must be dreaming if you want to get me!

You traitor!

Fang Shih-yu, how dare you ?

All of you are behaving like lunatics

You helped them get Hung; Now repent

You eat too many onions and hence fart a lot!

We all know it. You can't deny it

I never deny what I have done

Good, Hung escaped from the monastery

and you helped the Manchu get him

Nonsense

His name was Hung

So he was Hung His-kwan

Now you can't deny it any more

Don't stop me, I'll kill him

Chui-ching

Don't hold him back, let him kill me

Let him kill me

What are you waiting for? Kill me

Bring your best food

Yes

Sir, that is too much

I can afford more than that

Please sit down

Please sit down

Alright

Have they gone?

Not yet, they...

I know. They're all the same

But we can't offend these two men

the Manchu's a ranking officer

I heard Hsiang said

a higher ranking officer...

they are staying at Ho Chu-chen's home

I think Hung is being held up in Ho's cellar

Are you sure?

Yes, I am

Well, I'll go to Master Li's home. Come on

Where's your hostess?

Lord Teh wants to see her

I'm really sorry

Our hostess is a widow

She won't drink with strangers

A young widow must be lonely

Come on, ask her to come out

If you won't go, I will

Bastard, did you tell her to run away?

Tear the place down

You savages, we'll go to the law

We'll go to the law

Law? What law? I'm the law here

Lord

Bring me back the woman

or I'll scalp you

Release me, my lord, I'll find her

Release me, my lord!

I see

No wonder we couldn't find Hung

Master, let's rescue him now

Master, I'll go now

Madam

The man with Hsiang is Teh Hsiang

He is fierce, you didn't please him

He'd have destroyed your place by now

You'd better not go back

My late husband left me the restaurant

I must keep it

However...

I'm not afraid. If they try to force me

I'd rather die

That is...

Don't you recognise him?

He is Fang Shih-yu

Why do you harbor this kind of a man?

Madam, he was fooled by the Manchu

Madam, you have a knife, kill me

Shih-yu, we know where Hung His-kwan is

Where is he?

In Ho Chu-chen's home cellar

Where is it? Take me there quickly

Shih-yu

We must plan carefully

It's all my fault

Let me get him out

But there are many Manchu kung fu experts...

I'm not afraid of them

But you will get yourself killed

Madam, wait a minute...

We need your help, but...

It doesn't matter, my life can be spared

Che Kang is a top kung fu expert

Together with Hsiang, Teh and him

We can never beat them

We've got to corner them separately

Teh wants to take advantage of you

Yes, that is it

The hostess

Why is that guy walking like that?

What? Follow her

Lord Teh wants that woman

I want you

Is Hung His-kwan in Ho's cellar?

Yes

Anyone else there?

Release me...

Who else?

General Che, Lord Teh, and many others

How do I find the cellar?

What do you want?

Through the iron gate in the back yard

Release me

If I liked killing, you'd be a goner now

But I only broke your arms

You'd better go home

If I meet you again, I'll kill you

Tell your Lord Teh I want to see him

Lord Teh

What's the matter?

I've something to do, I'll be right back

Where is that woman?

She was here a minute ago

Do you mean the restaurant hostess?

Yes, is she inside?

No, she went off in a hurry

Idiot! Get her quickly

Go

Hung, we leveled the Monastery

Do you think you can fight us single-handed?

You know how we got you

Even Fang knows to move with the tide

If you join us

We'll spare you and your men

who were against the Manchu

Hung, I know you are a great hero

If you die, misfortune will befall many

Tell Fang Shih-yu to come see me

Fang Shih-yu? He won't come to see you

Who said I won't come? Here I am

Are you the so-called General?

Fang Shih-yu

Brother Hung, forgive me, they fooled me

I thought YOU were a cold-blooded killer!

Brother Fang, if you could pull it out

I should have done it earlier

You called me...brother?

You can take my blow

That's something

Release Brother Hung right away

Fang Shih-yu, you and Hung better join us

Go away immediately

You're injured, don't act foolish

Fang Shih-yu, Hung is wiser than you

That's the real Fang Shih-yu

I'll get him and you two will die together

General

Lord Teh was ambushed

Master Hsiang is seriously injured

Hurry up

General Che, please help us

Idiot

General, I...I met Fang Shih-yu

So what about it then?

Fang's the best kung fu man in Kwangtung, I...

Fang Shih-yu has been here

I wounded him then he ran away

Li Shih-chung attacked us

Quickly dispatch men to get Li at his home

Forget it

He is ready for us

Where is Brother Hung?

I never knew Che's kung fu was so good

I tried my best but couldn't beat him

You should. It's you who got Hung into this

I was injured. If at that time...

Hung Hsi-kwan, the man I respect

would've helped Manchu to nab me

I'd hate him for the rest of my life

But he pardoned me and called me brother

I'm not afraid of death

but I must keep my life to rescue Brother Hung

Don't blame me

Any news about Fang Shih-yu?

No

As long as Hung His-kwan is here

Fang Shih-yu can't be far away

Go and get some information. Be careful

Strange! It's been 7 or 8 days

... since Fang came here

He hasn't tried anything after that!

Maybe he fled because he can't beat you

General, if we behead Hung in public...

maybe it'll force Fang to show up

That is not a bad idea!

But this rebel hasn't told us anything

Not only has he said nothing,

also the wound in his leg has healed

I think Master's plan won't work

It's useless to treat that guy well

Hung Hsi-kwan really has an iron will

If he would only join us...

Tell the town office to post notices

Unless they don't want to rescue Hung

... I'm sure they'll show up

Are they going to execute Hung tomorrow?

Then let's rescue him there

Che Kang is a cunning man

he might be expecting that

It is a trap

I'll try, even if it is a trap

What about the tunnel Fang is digging?

I don't know. We think it's useless

But Fang said

he saw Hung shackled

to the stone wall of the cellar

He said, the tunnel is the only hope

to rescue Hung Hsi-kwan

He hasn't stopped digging for 7 or 8 days

unlike us; we'll rest now and then

Maybe you don't know Fang Shih-yu

But you should have heard about him

We've never seen him,

...work so hard before.

Even if he can't save Hung His-kwan

It's a good lesson for Fang.

Master, please don't say such things!

Shih-yu, you are killing yourself

It's too late, they've posted the notices

Execution will be tomorrow at noon...

Don't dare say that again

But they really are going to behead him

I've reached the cellar

I can hear the sound of the wall

Brother Hung is right here...right here

Shih-yu refuses to come out?

He knows it's impossible to break the wall

And it's almost driving him crazy

We can see the stone wall now...

but we just can't break through it

We could use dynamite though!

Then Hung would be the first to die.

Let me take a look

Shih-yu

Brother Hung is behind the wall

He can hear my knocking

But I just can't reach him

It's useless

We've tried everything

But all attempts have been futile!

What is this?

I remember now

Brother Hung's hands and legs

are bound up to the wall

I have an idea!

Go

We've freed one of his hands

... over there

Let's find his ankles

Hung His-kwan, this'll be your last meal,

which I'm here to serve you

so you can't blame me when you're in hell

Eat it

Brother Hung

Brother Fang

Brother Hung, I...

One more sorry & you're not Fang Shih-yu

Let's go

Come...wash your face

It's been days since I last washed

What a pity!

You didn't see how embarrassed

the general and his men were

when they heard the news.

No one could free himself

from the shackles

Someone dug a tunnel behind the wall

Break the wall

let's check the tunnel

I'm afraid they'll all be gone by now

Hung escaped. The others will be there

Hurry up

Alright

Bro. Hung, do you think Che Kang will come?

He will, when he discovers the tunnel

Eventually they'll find the exit of the tunnel

then they'll find our message

But a cunning man like Che Kang

will surely set trap before he comes

Awaiting you at west ground, come if you've guts

Hung Hsi-kwan & Fang Shih-yu

You're all here just as you promised

Che Kang, let's settle this once for all

Right, let's see who is the better man

I came here not only

to arrest all you rebels

But to meet the Chinese kung fu men

These are my brothers from Tibet

We studied kung fu together

They're called the four Red-robe Fighters

They too are eager meet Chinese kung fu men

We know Gen. Che's a Lama kung fu expert

well known in all regions

Looks like the whole Lama school is here!

Let's start, stop talking nonsense

It's important to arrest the rebels

You can all come out now

Yes

Help them

Yes

Shih-yu, stork antics; Ah Hung, tiger style

Stork & tiger together can kill Che Kang

Brother Hung, use tiger claw

Stork beak

Tiger claw

Stork beak

Only four of us are left now

United we stand, divided we fall

As long as the Manchu are here

... we'll never stop

Shao Lin fraternity are all over the country

Today we kill Che Kang

Manchu will chase us to arrest us now

We must lay low for a while

Chaoching is my home town. I know it well

Let's go to Chaoching

and find a good hiding place

Rally comrades, ready for a revolution

Yes
