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, sir!

We burned the Shaolin 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.

General, all the monastery men are Shaolin 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 Shaolin 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 Shaolin temple.

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

otherwise we'll be punished.

Yes.

Hung Hsi-kwan!

Hung could've gone to south-west,

probably heading for Kwangtung.

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

l...

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 Shaolin men.

Break out wood man lane.

Beat down plum blossom trap.

Who is the Shaolin 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, being 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.

Shaolin man, you think you can escape?

You are...

We're looking for a guy named Hung.

We're looking for a robber named Hung too!

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 dressed in black,

he is wounded and looks fierce?

- No. - Sorry.

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.

You sure know good Kung Fu!

Good... fast and neat-handed.

May I know your name?

Fang Shih-Yu.

Hold it!

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

Manchu burned the Shaolin 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 Shaolin 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.

All the Manchurian are after you, and 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.

Sure!

Master, why do you let a Shaolin 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, I don't even know who paid for me.

Take your hands off him.

Come back.

I just didn't want to get involved.

Let's give a look.

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 and I don't want to take advantage.

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.

You are...

Why did he stop suddenly during the fight?

Hero Fang, thanks for your help.

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 rebel No. 1.

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 him?

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 and 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 Shaolin Monastery,

but he knows all the Shaolin 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?

Stupid!

You're still so stubborn!

Someone ought to fix you and your attitude.

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 Shaolin disciple.

But he helped the Manchu to arrest Hung.

I'd better report it to Teacher Wu Mei.

Something' fishy, I reckon! Fang is not that kind of man.

After I heard the monastery was burned down,

I sent my men to look for survivors.

But before my man could find Hung,

he had been arrested.

My men 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.

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 talking! - Yes!

I heard there is a Li Shih-Chung in town,

whom everyone respects,

- and people address him as "Master". - Yes...

but 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 Shaolin.

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?

I know!

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.

Well, Hung escaped from the Monastery

and you helped the Manchu get him.

Nonsense!

His name was Hung.

So he was Hung Hsi-Kwan!

Now you can't deny it any more!

Don't stop me, I'll kill him!

Don't hold him back, let him kill me.

Let him kill me!

What are you waiting for? Kill me!

What are you waiting for?!

Why don't you kill me?!

- Bring your best food. - Yes.

Sir, that is too much.

I can afford more than that.

Please sit down.

Be seated please.

- Have they gone? - Not yet,

they want...

I know. They're all the same.

But we can't offend these two men,

the Manchu is a higer ranking officer.

I heard Hsiang said 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.

- Please. - 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.

Let's go!

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

and 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 recognize 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 Hsi-Kwan is.

Where is he?

In Ho Chu-Chen's home cellar.

Where is it? Take me there quickly.

Listen.

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... - Please?

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 is back.

Ehi!

Why is that guy walking like that?

What? Follow her, Lord Teh wants that woman.

I want you.

Is Hung Hsi-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?

Through the iron gate in the back yard.

What do you want? 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.

That woman want to see you.

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

and killed everybody inside.

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.

General Che, please help us.

Idiots!

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

So what about it then?

Fang is the best Kung Fu man in Kwangtung, l...

Fang Shih-Yu has been here.

I wounded him, but he ran away.

Li Shih-Chung attacked us. Quickly dispatch men to get Li at his home.

Forget it!

He is ready for us.

Stay here.

- What's happen? - Fang Shih-Yu!

He's injured!

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 Hsi-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's 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.

But Hung is chained and can't colaborate.

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 working so hard before.

Even if he can't save Hung Hsi-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.

- Now the other. - All right!

Let's find his ankles.

Hung Hsi-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.

Do you want?

Eat it!

Brother Hung!

Brother Fang!

Brother Hung, l...

One more sorry and you're not Fang Shih-Yu.

Let's go.

Water... 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 but the others will be there.

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Alright!

You stay here.

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 and 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.

Alright.

It's important to arrest the rebels.

You can all come out now.

Yes!

Help them!

Warn!

Shih-Yu, stork antics;

and Hung, tiger style.

Stork and tiger together

can kill Che Kang.

Brother Hung, use tiger claw!

Tiger claw!

Only four of us are left now.

United we stand, divided we fall.

As long as the Manchu are here,

we'll never stop.

Shaolin fraternity are all over the country

Today we've killed 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!
