Original subtitles

The students got food poisoning after eating your sticky rice pudding.

They are all in the hospital.

They are your kids.

If you want them to get well, pay another hundred dollars for medication.

I am a useless pa.

There's another underground boxing match by the Fellow Association.

If we two sign up, we'll get 200 dollars.

Hold on! I've got help!

We are filling in for you.

He's a member of our Association.

We are representatives of the Welfare Association.

We are fighting on behalf of the Walled City Welfare Association.

Aren't they the guys guarding the standpipe?

Right...

That guy is a Baji practitioner. He's an adept.

It's not up to you. It's against the rules.

We prefer standpipe heroes to water delivery guys.

I'll increase my bet if they are in the ring instead.

Let them fight...

Thank you for your support.

Did you hear that?

The people have spoken.

Let us or you will get beaten up.

Many people have placed their bets. I don't call the shots here.

How's the betting going?

The match is too lopsided.

Few have placed bets.

Betting is closed.

We have a decision.

Yip Fai and But Tak-liu are off the match.

Those who have placed bets can get their money back.

It is now the Fast Whip and Slow Whips versus the Walled City Welfare Association.

The match will begin in 15 minutes.

Place your bets now.

Tooth Man, Boxer, I don't know how to thank you two.

Cut it out.

Tell us later over a beer.

You two be careful. You have to be alright.

Don't worry.

This is what we should do.

I lure the two to come attack me.

Look for a chance by the side to hit them.

Take care of yourself by all means.

I may not be able to take care of you.

Why can't I take on one?

It's an option.

I'll give you a hand once I have taken care of mine.

You sound like I am a burden to you.

You can't fool me.

You have been sloppy with your Baji training from Siu-chi.

Anyway, it's not the time to be wilful.

Alright.

The stone-faced is said to be an adept.

He once took on dozens.

The tanned guy has only some brute strength

Simple. We'll take down the strong one first.

Fighters, take your place.

The match now begins.

Beat them up...

It's not Duen style Baji...

Bravo...

Boxer... bravo...

Tooth Man... bravo...

Do you know how worried I was?

If something happened to you, I would end up a widow with a son.

Didn't you know?

I created the mess.

If you two had not cleaned it up for me,

I couldn't have been able to see my wife and son again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Siu-sun, say "thank you".

Thank you, Brother Boxer.

Thank you, Brother Tooth Man.

Get up... Real men don't kneel...

You've never been this courteous.

Actually what we had was physical strength.

Siu-sun, your pa was the courageous one.

He signed up for the 200 dollar medication fee.

You went into the ring for the kids.

We're basking in your glory.

But Tak-liu, you are the true hero of the Walled City.

Yes! My pa is the Walled City hero.

Hubby...

Boxer, you should have told me about the match.

Now I have missed Tooth Man's first ring fight.

Indeed...

You don't have to support me,

but you have to support the Walled City Welfare Association.

What does it do?

You can tell from the name.

It promotes the welfare of residents in the Walled City.

We've found a place for it.

Tooth Man and I... are the chairmen.

Once we win the championship,

we'll have money for its operation.

We can help improve the residents' living conditions.

We don't just fight for the cash award.

If we win, we can put our name on the map.

The residents will know we have the prowess and strength for their protection.

We can stand up to the bad guys here.

Chairmen, if I can be of use, just say it.

Sure!

I am ready to make a contribution too... except in terms of money.

Sheesh...

What? Want me to raise your rents?

It's hot today.

Why bring me up here? For the breeze?

You didn't pick up your Baji from Siu-chi.

Why bring this up?

The Duen style Baji is known for its suppleness and sharp attacks.

Your Baji was hard-hitting and tenacious.

If I got it right, it's the Chiu style Baji.

Have you forgotten I had a friend named Chiu Yeung?

He asked me to take what he left behind here.

You picked it up from him?

Porters at the pier have fights all the time.

Chiu Yeung taught me several moves.

He left me a manual too.

He said it's for his sister.

I could read it if I wanted to.

Why didn't you use it before?

I was not interested in kung fu.

Moreover, I knew about your family feud.

I didn't want to remind you of it.

The situation has now changed.

I have to guard the standpipe.

I need to prepare myself.

Thai Hag said I have it for the Baji kung fu

So I picked it up again.

Though I don't really have a shifu,

I still consider myself a Chiu style Baji man.

It's not proper for me to pick up another style.

Now you see why I wouldn't learn it from you.

Could you lend me the Chiu's style manual?

Sorry, it's burned as an offering for Chiu Yeung's sister.

I have to rely on my memory for my practice.

Don't ask me to draw it out.

I am poor at drawing.

Could you show me?

Which ones?

One is enough.

Which one?

The Scaling Tiger.

Not a problem.

I could see the Scaling Tiger again after all these years.

But Boxer's punch is a far cry from Chiu Meng-shan's.

It's of no use to me.

I have 70% of my pa's prowess.

Boxer has less than half of Chiu Meng-shan's.

Will he get to Chiu Meng-shan's level?

If we can fight as equals,

will the truth be finally known?

Bravo...

The Welfare Association will fight the Sisters Magnolia.

You guys be careful.

Magnolia?

The female warrior in the tale?

The female warrior is Mulan.

Stop laughing.

Don't look down on them.

They sure are female warriors.

They are in Japanese attire.

Are they Japanese?

No, they are Chinese.

They went to Japan for their kung fu.

The team's name is Sugata Sanshiro.

One's Sugata Sanro, the other Sugata Shiro.

They should just call themselves the Jerks.

Beat them up...

They show a mastery of strikes and throws.

The Jerks are formidable.

What comes next is the Super Heavyweight...

Go home...

Lung Shing-fu...

Versus the Iron Fan Steel Tiger.

Lung Shing-fu...

Lung Shing-fu is taking on two.

That Iron Fan has no intention of taking part in it.

He's the runner-up in the last three championships.

He lost to Lung Shing-fu every time.

Now he and Lung Shing-fu have formed a team.

It's bad news.

What else does he know besides fanning himself?

That I don't know.

I do know he's feeling very hot.

It's a match, not a killing spree.

Lung Shing-fu...

I've been in the ring for so long.

It's your first time here.

I thought you would never come.

I didn't come because I didn't want to see you maim others or even kill.

You do everything to win when you are in the ring.

It's showing respect to oneself and his opponent.

What nonsense!

The Fellow Association uses human lives as the selling point.

Wake up!

I am just a nobody outside the ring.

Mother, every time I achieved a knockout,

I didn't just feel the joy of success.

But a breakthrough in my kung fu as well!

The ring is my world.

Spare me.

What if I ask you to pull your punches?

For the two guys again?

Whatever. Yes or no?

How can I say "yes"?

How can I be sure my opponents would do the same?

Do you want no son to host your funeral?

Do you remember Lung Shing-fu's moves?

Yes. Come on.

Legwork...

He can still hit you from the back?

Any other moves? Yes.

Can this work? Yes.

But his moves are much more powerful.

Thai Hag?

Why do you get into the ring?

For the championship. Good.

What about some counter Muay Thai moves?

You will teach us the way to beat your son?

I am here to help you survive the match.

Once Kitten gets your neck, he'll use his knee strike.

You have to know the way to fend it off and hit back.

If he gets my neck, I can use my elbow on him.

Or hit his face with your head.

Either will do.

However, if he gets your neck again,

don't ever pull your waist back.

Instead of dodging his knee strike it gives him the room to execute it.

The right way is to bend backward and press your legs to his.

Don't give him the room to use his knees.

That's to press my body to his. Got it!

Very straightforward and clear. Got it.

I am done with the theories.

You two try them out.

OK.

You try them out with Boxer.

I'll go practise on my own.

Why won't you stay behind?

He needs you more than I do.

See you.

How cocky!

Why didn't you talk back?

You do have self-control.

I am in no position to talk back.

I lost to him.

I can say nothing before I have beaten him.

I don't know when you can beat him.

I do know you have taken the first step. You're practising Baji again.

You made me see.

You said whatever that can make my fists more powerful is good kung fu.

Smart!

Kop khun krap(Thanks).

You guys take your time.

I need to go out this evening.

There's still time.

Have more rice. Right...

Have more rice.

You need the strength to fight.

Have more.

How did you know about the match?

It's the talk of the Walled City.

Dig in...

We mean to go there to root for you.

Does Uncle know about it?

I am sure he does.

He has not joined us for meals for some time.

I don't think he will go there to root for you.

Here he comes.

Junior Master, are you going to the match with us?

Duen Ying-fung, are you insisting on going?

Then you have to beat me first.

Uncle...

Junior Master, why?

If I let him go,

I will have failed my brother, the Duen's ancestors,

and the Baji school!

Uncle, I won't fight you.

But I will still go.

Beat me first, or you will not go!

Uncle, for the Walled City, I have to go.

Senior...

Stop it...

Senior, give it up.

You can't get in the ring in this state.

Forget it...

It's the right thing to do.

I will crawl there if I have to.

Alright, don't bother to come back once you get out.

You are no longer a member of Duen's family

Uncle, I am sorry.

47, 48, 49, 49

It's 50.

49. It's 50.

It's to work you hard.

Hey, Boxer. Yes?

It's said all the teams have uniforms.

You two should be in uniform too.

What does it matter?

We have the strength.

Still, having the right look is halfway to success.

Looking like a ragtag gang is not good for morale.

The match is about to begin.

There's no time for it.

But Tak-liu, help me with the warm-up.

OK.

I know there's no time for it.

So... I have figured a way out.

It's easy for you two to have matching outfits

You'll both wear your birthday suits.

Mental!

Am I smart or what?

You tell Tooth Man it's your idea.

None but you are pleased with it.

How horny of you!

Come give me a massage.

Come on, show off your six-pack abs!

Hello...

Oh, Miss All-shhy, Boss Yeung.

You're here to root for them as well?

Yes. Where's the Tooth Man?

He's not here yet.

Boxer, you don't have uniforms, right?

I've prepared them for you.

What do you think?

Good!

You like it? Come try it on.

It looks good.

You think so too?

It's my design.

Do you like it?

I do. Still, I think you should leave.

Why?

I didn't just come to root for you.

I am here to thank the Welfare Association on the kids' behalf.

If you stay behind,

you may see something you don't want to see

That I'll see you lose?

It's alright if I can see the Tooth Man win.

Here he is. Tooth Man...

What took you so long?

Dinner was late.

Hey, go change into your uniform.

It's from Boss Yeung.

It looks good.

Here you are.

Thank you.

I'll do it later.

Just do it here.

You are a man. Don't be shy.

Do it or someone will be very disappointed.

Don't listen to him.

The match will soon begin.

Let me give you a massage.

No, thanks...

What? Did I hurt you?

No. I am a bit tired.

Then all the more you need my massage.

No... What about this?

What now? Nothing.

Are you hurt?

Let me have a look.

What happened?

Can you fight?

Did the Fellow Association do it?

Or your uncle?

He wouldn't let you come.

You don't have to care.

I can still fight.

Don't force yourself.

I can do it by myself.

I'll fight.

It's not easy for me to come here.

I'd be failing myself if I didn't get in the ring.

Have I over-done it? Is it too red?

No. You look good.

Do my eyeliners match?

Wearing makeup for a match?

They are perfect.

It's a shame we have to put the mask on.

Reverend Extermination is looking for us.

We can't show our faces,

or we'll be taken back up the mount.

Over my dead body!

The Sisters Magnolia?

Life on the mount was hard...

We'll retire after winning the championship

We'll become movie stars.

Time to report ourselves.

I need to relieve myself.

You do it for me.

Alright... be quick.

Here come our lady fighters.

It's the Walled City Welfare Association versus the Sisters Magnolia.

The match is about to begin.

Betting is closed.

Have you seen Tiu Lan?

No...

Tooth Man, Boxer, go for it!

First shock and awe

with our Heaven and Earth Hook,

Yin and Yang Shoot,

and the Sun and Moon Strike.

Then wrap it up with our Drifting Snow Palm.

Fighters, take your place. The match now begins.

You've thwarted our flow.

Be careful.

What are you doing?

Sorry.

They used to have mutual understanding.

Indeed.

Maybe they have fallen out over our good looks.

We need to use our killer move.

Tooth Man, what is it called?

You can't steal my limelight now!

I am the one and only Magnolia.

Isn't it Tiu Lan's voice?

Down and it's done!

Here comes our chance.

What are you doing?

Tiu Lan?

The winner is the Walled City Welfare Association.

Bravo...

Daddy is here?

Check the backstage. See if my daughter's there.

Miss Or.

Fu?

Fu, this is my order.

Hide me up.

Fu.

He's gone.

Leave if you don't want Mr Or to see you.

It stinks.

Put something on!

Don't flash people in public!

Are you here for the match?

To see who? Chor Au-kuen?

It's not your business.

Listen.

Don't tell Daddy about it.

I hid you up because blowing it up would mean trouble for me.

You listen.

I have no obligation to lie to Mr Or for you.

Leave at once.

I didn't sweat at all during the whole match.

I can skip the shower and go to bed.

Because you had the blessing of the Goddess of Victory.

Or it couldn't have been so easy.

Your opponents were not their usual selves.

They seemed to have been jinxed.

The credit goes to the Goddess of Victory.

Tooth Man, this way to your clinic.

Oh yes, we should split up here.

Goodnight. Goodnight.

Ask Siu-chi to give you a rub with medicinal wine.

Sure.

Come on...

How come you guys are here?

Don't you know the paths inside the Walled City cross one another?

How come you are here?

Why do you look so dejected?

Your uncle has thrown you out.

How did you know?

He beat you up.

How would he let you stay?

You are willing to give up so much for the Welfare Association,

how can we let you become homeless?

Come to my place.

You can stay as long as you like, rent free

What? You are partial to him.

Shut up or I'll raise your rent.

There you go again.

Come on.

This is your room. Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

What about Boxer?

He used to sleep in the shop.

He can go back there.

It's not fair! Why am I evicted?

Because Tooth Man is not well.

He needs a proper room for recuperation.

I pay rent too.

It's a bunk bed here.

Alright, you take the upper bed

Leave the lower one for Tooth Man.

Now you are talking.

You go to my room to get him beddings.

They are new.

It's for celebrating your victory.

Thank you.

You are partial to him.

It's my victory too.

It's not. You just stood there.

It's your victory too.

You spared no effort for him.

Tooth Man, I made you a hard-boiled egg for your bruises.

But now... you are on your own.

What...

If you don't mind, could you help me with it?

Of course not.

Let me help you.

Thanks...

Your uncle sure pulled no punches.

It's no big deal.

You must be heartbroken.

I do hope he'll see one day.

I have yet to thank you.

You went into the ring for me.

Thank you.

Come on... I am a member of the Welfare Association too.

Don't be so rash again.

What you did in the ring was too hard for your heart.

The moves did make my heart beat fast.

What we did off the ring made my heart beat even faster.

Night snack time...

Let's go for the night snack...

Coming.

Nasty Boxer...

Mr Or, your plan really works.

Letting Fu fight alone,

together with the Welfare Association men,

has made the bets less lopsided.

The betting is going strong.

What about the odds?

Mr Or...

The odds are still in favour of Iron Fan Steel Tiger.

We can still make money.

The Japanese guys come in second and the Welfare Association the last.

It's because Chor Au-kuen is not as good as Duen Ying-fung.

The chance of them winning is zero.

Mr Or, a woman is here to place her bet. Should we take it?

Do you need to ask me about it?

The bet is huge. I can't decide.

How huge?

Mr Or, I want to bet on the championship.

Would you take my bet?

Are you placing it for yourself or for someone else?

So you think a woman couldn't have so much money.

Far from that.

Women easily beat men nowadays.

They can become lady bosses.

How should I address you?

Fa Man.

Miss Fa Man.

So which team do you prefer?

I am clueless.

Do you have a tip for me?

Gambling is simple.

The odds in favour pays less,

A dark horse pays more.

Are you the aggressive or cautious type?

It's hard-earned money.

Of course I want to double it.

It hurts if I lose.

It's so hard to decide.

Mr Or, could you lend me your dices?

I never say "no" to pretty girls.

An odd number means the Iron Fan Steel Tiger.

An even number means the Sugata Sanshiro.

A triple means the Welfare Association.

Chances for this to come up are so slim.

I have to listen to Heaven.

Right.

All in for the Welfare Association.

Right, it's good to listen to Heaven.

No problem.

Thank you indeed. Sure...

You are not welcome here.

Are you still mad that I refused to pull my punches for the two?

Yes.

You don't have to now.

I'll teach them the counteract moves.

It really is hard to believe.

I am your son.

How can you take the outsiders' side?

I'm doing it for you.

It's to put you on the right side of Heaven

Quit the ring...

or I'll keep beating you up.

A mother has the right to beat her son up.

It's because you have failed me...

There...

If I could get in the ring,

I would straighten you up myself. I wouldn't do it through someone else.

You'd rather see me lose.

Yes, I mean to remove your claws and your fangs.

I want you to feel the pain of those you have beaten up.

Lose for once, can you?

It's going for broke in the ring.

To lose is to fail oneself.

Does it matter more than human lives?

If you worry about them, tell them to practice harder.

Didn't I warn you not to come to the Walled City?

You will regret it if Mr Or finds out.

Daddy loves me. He won't do anything.

You worry too much.

Could I try the dumbbell?

So you really can kill with one punch?

You don't want me to come here.

I will never come again if you agree to a deal.

Boxer saved my life.

I mean to repay him.

If you will lose to them,

I won't come here again.

You've won three times already.

What's losing once to you?

Why do you all want me to lose?

Do you all want to see me dead?

No... it's not what I mean.

Save it.

I won't lose to Chor Au-kuen and Duen Ying-fung.

They aren't my match.

What?

Give me a hideous makeover.

You have the eye.

Five dollars please.

Hideous enough?

Together with this.

I bought you guys red bean sweet soup.

Reheat it for dessert.

Siu-chi, it's your favourite.

It's Little Senior's final match.

I want to go root for him.

Anyone going with me?

Go and you are no longer a disciple of the Duen's.

You can disown me, but you are always my Junior Master.

Dig in.

Junior Master, sorry.

Wait for me...

Junior Master, sorry.

What?

What's with you?

See how you've knitted your brows!

Are you scared of Lung Shing-fu?

He's the number one fighter in the Walled City.

The odds are against us.

We are already here, we have to go into the ring.

Once we are there, we have to believe we can win.

For the Walled City, we have to win.

Take this...

See? You can do it.

We just go for broke.

Little Senior...

Siu-chi, how come you are here?

It's not just me. Others are here too.

Little Senior...

You're all here?

What about Uncle?

You are fighting for the Walled City.

How can we not come to root for you?

You have to win to shut Junior Master up.

Prove us right to him.

I won't fail you.

Yeah...

Fu, the championship is already in your pocket.

However, I want you to do more.

I want you to beat Duen Ying-fung and Chor Au-kuen to death.

I can promise you I'll win.

Whether they can survive the match depends on how tough they are.

I want the whole Walled City to know,

whoever takes on me will die.

I will grab his neck and break his back with a high kick.

Our circular kick can break his ribs and puncture his lungs.

No miracle can save them.

Whatever. I want his body as an offering for my brother.

Miss, want to place your bet?

I already did.

Here we are, the final match.

It's the first ever, two versus two and two.

Don't miss out.

Place your bets now.

Here come our fighters.

Please welcome the Sugata Sanshiro...

The Walled City Welfare Association...

Tooth Man... go for it...

Senior, go for it...

Get us the championship...

1, 2, 3...

Boxer and Tooth Man will defang you...

We have popular support.

We can't fail them.

The last team... the Iron Fan Steel Tiger.

Are you ready?

What now?

It's your show time.

Ready...

The match begins.

Punch! Push your body out like this.

Then kick.

Carry on.

Go!

Ouch...

Cut!

OK. Done.

You alright?

I'm fine.

OK? Yes.

Where's the Tooth Man?

If you don't see him, he isn't here.

OK.

You guys don't have uniforms.

No.

I've prepared two... 1

Now one will do.

You can think on your feet!
