Mr. Stark,

you're bringing me so few piglets,

less than the previous times.

To make up for my losses,

why don't you

offer them for free this time?

The Chinese believe

that greed

is the bane of life,

and an endless desire

is the greatest sin.

Don't bullshit me with the Chinese cliche.

So, have you heard of

Bartitsu?

Of course.

That's gymnastics in England.

The Chinese teachings

are warnings for the weak.

For me,

they lack imagination.

What nonsense!

I've had enough!

Newspapers!

Days off!

Move.

Days off!

Race to the Queen's Road.

Fireworks and rewards for the winners!

I'm certain we'll make it.

Ip Man, hurry up.

I got this!

We're counting on you!

Sorry.

What the hell?

Sorry. I'm Sorry.

Hurry up!

Don't worry. We'll win.

Don't let him win!

You can't win.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

Are you okay?

Wait.

Sorry.

You know kung fu?

Give me the bag! Do you hear me?

- Stop it! - Let go!

Mom, let it be. Give it to him.

What are you doing?

Give me that.

Sit down.

Mom.

Mom, let go.

Don't move.

Mom.

Tell her to let go.

Just give it to him.

A robber in the daylight!

Let him go.

Bro, come on.

There you go.

Stop it there.

Guys, teach him a lesson.

Give me the bag.

Sorry for the trouble we've caused you, sir.

Don't go.

Try again.

Bro, let's get him.

Come on.

Hurry.

- This station? - Yes.

Is it your mom's first time in Hong Kong?

Yes. First time.

Run!

- Thief! - Stay out of it!

Feng, thief!

Keep an eye on my mom!

Mom.

Auntie! Auntie!

Don't go there!

Go.

Stop it. You shouldn't kill him.

It's none of your business. Get lost.

Play with fire

and this is what you get.

Mr. Hu, Mahjong again?

Look.

How can you miss out on Mahjong, sir?

It seems

you've won.

Stop pretending. Get up.

Pay up to fix the problem.

What about my share?

That's all.

- That's all? - Yeah.

Get lost.

Now I've won. Dinner's on me.

Go home.

Go home. Go. Go.

Alright.

See you, sir.

- Feng. - Mom.

Chan, are you okay?

This brave young man saved us.

It's nothing.

Thanks, man.

It's a small world.

See you around.

I'm Feng. Mention my name if in any trouble.

Excuse me.

Have you been to Foshan?

Liu, what's taking you so long?

Coming.

Give it here.

Thanks.

Look at you.

Young master, those losers deserved a good beating

for bullying the weak.

Let's be lenient wherever possible.

Alright.

Enjoy.

Here you are.

Young master,

it's been eight years,

and you still remember my favorite dishes.

Of course.

What brought you here?

My mom needs a doctor.

Is she okay?

Same old, same old.

Here.

Young master,

that's enough.

I thought you loved spice.

We fed on peppers because we lacked food.

Not anymore.

I see.

Have you seen my daughter, Cuihua?

No.

- Okay, thank you. - Cigarettes.

Sir, cigarettes?

Cigarettes.

Cigarettes.

It happens all the time here.

You can't help all of them.

Is that

what everyone believes?

Young master,

stay at my rickshaw yard tonight

if you're not going back to Foshan.

A friend got me this work five years ago.

Now, I have my own business

with many buddies.

Come with me and stay

for the Spring Festival.

Alright.

Deal?

Deal.

Alright.

Bottoms up!

Cigarettes.

Awesome.

Watch it.

I can't wait anymore.

Sweetheart.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Let me go!

Come on.

What's wrong with you?

You rascal, let's go home.

You rascal, where are you?

Hello?

Auspiciousness brings a bright future.

Great name!

I must

redo the paint one day.

I don't want to ruin my bright future.

Very funny.

What an honor to have you here

at my rickshaw yard!

Hello, Feng.

Shui, be careful up there.

Alright.

Young master, how do you say it?

It's an "honor"?

Yeah, that's right.

Feng.

Why are you up so late?

I've been waiting for you.

Young master.

Let's go.

Mind the steps.

Bufeng,

you're doing well.

Thanks.

Chan, this is Young Master,

Ip Man.

Young master, this is Chan, my sister.

Talk while I get my room

ready for you.

Hello, Ip Man.

Call him young master.

Don't listen to him.

Call me Ip Man.

Nice to meet you, Chan.

The upper bunk is yours.

Alright.

Tomorrow,

young master and I will take you around

to show you the world.

That's great!

Let's see paintings and go to malls.

Alright.

I hope you don't mind my humble place.

Not at all. It's very nice.

Miss Butterfly!

Silly you! What are you doing?

Don't hide it.

I didn't know you were a fan.

It's just for the humidity.

I don't know her.

Alright. It's getting late.

Let young master rest.

See you. Let's go.

Young master, see you.

Ip Man, thank you for saving us.

- Don't mention it. - Were you scared?

No.

80 YUAN

So pricy!

Miss, would you like to be an actress?

A-actress?

We're talent scouts for a movie company.

This is our business card.

Here you are.

Come for an interview when you're free.

We'll pay you.

Chan.

Ip Man.

Let's go.

Nice paintings.

Your friends?

They're talent scouts.

Talent scouts?

Where's my brother?

Ice cream.

Ice cream incoming.

Here, Chan, young master,

take it.

Alright.

I just heard

that Miss Butterfly is coming.

Are actresses popular?

Of course! They're popular and they make big money.

Young master...

Miss Butterfly is here!

Miss Butterfly! She's here!

Hold it. Hold it. Miss Butterfly!

Bufeng.

Miss Butterfly.

Miss Butterfly is here!

Miss Butterfly!

Miss Butterfly!

Miss Butterfly!

Miss Butterfly!

Miss Butterfly!

Miss Butterfly!

Even the yellow faces can be stars as well.

There are two types of people,

expensive

and cheap.

Check it out! Join our movie company

and you'll be the next star.

Check it out!

Join us to be an actress.

We're talent scouts.

How are the new buyers?

They need it in one week.

Excuse me.

Young master,

even though kung fu helps,

you're carrying too much weight.

Just say that you want to drop me off.

He's using twice the strength

for a single job.

What would you do if you were him?

Madam, don't listen to him.

Young man, you don't look like a rickshaw man.

He's not!

Listen,

this is my young master serving you.

Shut up. I'm not talking to you.

Here we are.

Here.

Alright.

Mind the steps.

Okay, thank you.

Young man,

this is my business card.

I'm Sis Liu. Come to me for help if needed.

I got your back.

Let me see.

Get lost.

Hurry.

Okay, I'm Ip Man.

Nice to meet you.

See you.

Young master,

only you have that kind of luck.

I'm working for you.

And you're making fun of me!

Are you making fun of me?

Are you?

I also know Wing Chun.

S-stay back.

Let's go.

Go. Go.

Here we go.

Young master, easy.

Young master,

you should teach us Wing Chun.

Young master,

let's go.

Quiet!

Young master,

those at the port

work for the British.

Don't mess with them.

Or we'll get into trouble.

Let's go.

Young master.

Young master.

Move.

Behave.

- Over there. - Let go!

Over there.

Wait.

Who is that?

Why are they tied up?

Help me.

Quiet.

It is none of your business.

Get lost.

Stand up.

I'm talking to you.

You asked for it.

Help.

Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu.

I've been looking for you.

Stop fooling around.

Secretary Li asked me to get you home.

Let's go.

Who are you?

Me?

I'm the head servant of the Liu family.

Detective Liu is waiting for you at home.

Young master, let's go home.

Your dad is the detective?

He...

What? Does he have to wear a name tag?

Young master,

let's go.

Help us! Help us!

Help us!

Please!

Let them go.

Otherwise,

I'll put you all in jail!

Thank you.

Drop it.

Drop it now!

Drop it.

Young master.

The detective's son?

Can you tell me

where the detective lives?

Detective...

Let's hear from you.

Detective...

- Feng. - Young master.

Are you hungry?

Let's end this fast and go for food.

It's on Mme.

Young master.

Young master.

The girls are safe. Let's go.

Go.

You think the police don't know about this?

I know what you're trying to say.

I...

Slow down.

Someone must stand up against injustice.

There are rules to follow in Hong Kong.

We should mind our own business.

Are we still human if we give up on justice?

We can't give up kindness and promote evil deeds.

I know those teachings.

But we have to be aware of our status.

Those port people...

Never mind.

You bookworms are so stubborn.

I'll take sole responsibility.

If it bothers you, I'll leave.

Don't even think about it.

Let's go.

I've got something nice for you.

Sir.

What is it?

I'm not telling you.

You'll find out.

Mr. Hu, have some food.

Rain check.

Young master, let's go.

Go.

Come on.

Young master,

race you there!

Step aside.

You're cheating!

Watch out.

Look.

Go. You're leading.

Let's go.

Wing Chun

is a woman's fist,

but it's so powerful.

Huh?

Huh?

Lu,

it's 10 pounds for one.

So,

it's 60 pounds for six.

Find them

or I'll sell your families to make up for it.

Do you hear me?

I made it. I made it.

Hurry up.

Young master,

how about this?

Ip Man.

Happy Minor Spring Festival!

Happy Minor Spring Festival!

When did you set this up?

Happy Minor Spring Festival!

Chan,

why's the stake dressed up?

I...

I thought it might hurt Ip Man's hands.

Ip Man,

teach us Wing Chun!

- Yeah. - Please teach us.

Come on.

Show us.

Show us, please.

You want to learn?

Yeah. Ip Man.

We do.

Show us! Show us!

Let me show you, then.

Come on.

Show us.

Wing Chun has three forms.

Sinking Bridge.

Thrusting Fingers.

Little Idea.

Watch it.

Watch it. It's lit.

Sweet dumplings!

Come and have sweet dumplings.

Chan,

you should be impartial.

Ip Man is more worthy.

Stop it, or I'll teach you a lesson!

- Bah! - Come here!

- Come here! - Hey,

watch it.

Ip Man, help.

You're spilling the soup!

A poem dedicated to this bowl of soup.

The Kitchen God is reporting to heaven today.

Please enjoy.

Mr. Stark,

you're going wild with your piglet business

by snatching people in public.

You're making things

really hard for us.

You've been doing a good job.

And I believe

you'll do even better.

I'm afraid the new superintendent disagrees with you.

Are you referring to

Superintendent Weston?

The Governor of Hong Kong has been concerned about

the disappearance of Chinese recently.

You're paying too little in management fees

to cover our expenses.

Superintendent Weston said that

if you want to continue doing business in Hong Kong,

you should show some sincerity.

He has felt

my sincerity.

Superintendent Weston's ring!

Calm down.

Peace makes prosperity.

Let's eat.

I didn't notice how pretty it is.

Look. There.

Chan, isn't it pretty?

Yeah.

Ip Man,

have some water.

- Thanks. - Feng.

Thanks.

- Chan. - Listen, Bufeng.

We've been

so busy with day-to-day life.

Look.

Sometimes, we should look

at the sky and the world faraway.

Our ancestors said

that we should be down to earth

and focus on

living our lives well.

Our ancestors were too conservative.

That's why the foreigners

have taken over Hong Kong.

We came from over there.

I just want to

provide for my family and friends.

I won't seek to cause trouble.

I don't care who's taking over.

It's all the same.

Is it?

Isn't it?

I guess it is.

How can I miss the clean-up

of the Minor Spring Festival?

Honey,

what a nice disciple of yours!

If he shuns the work,

I won't teach him kung fu.

Watch it.

Ip Man, give me a hand.

Ouch. Be gentle.

Don't overdo it. Be moderate.

Follow the move, not your hands.

Use your mind, not your eyes.

Practice your hearing.

So slow!

Honey, come out and help.

Coming.

Master,

why are you so afraid of her?

It's called respect.

Yeah, whatever.

Newspaper?

Sure.

Please.

Spare me some coins.

Thank you.

Check it out.

Check it out.

Check it out.

Newspapers. Newspapers.

Get a newspaper.

Get a newspaper.

Newspapers.

Feng.

- Are you okay? - Here.

Feng.

Feng, are you okay?

I...

- You... - Shui.

Stay back.

This...

This is my own business.

Stay out of it.

Who the hell are you trying to be a "hero"?

Are you risking your neck?

How many times have I told you

to mind your own business?

I was trying to help.

Yeah, right.

You weren't helping.

You were nothing

but a punching bag.

Alright. Alright.

Go home.

What's going on?

They're fighting.

Stop it.

Isn't he the rickshaw guy?

Now I will pay for one.

Shut up.

What do you want?

Feng.

- Stay back. - Are you okay?

Stay back.

They want money.

I did it, not them.

How much do you want?

A thousand pounds.

Do you have the money?

This is blackmail.

If not,

you're dead.

That foreigner

is a boxer.

He's using British Bartitsu.

What's Bartitsu?

Mr. Barton-Wright combined

boxing, Jujutsu, and wrestling into Bartitsu,

a martial art practiced by the British upper class.

Wreck this place.

Excuse me.

Feng.

Shui.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Shui.

Help.

Help!

Shui.

Come.

Mom, are you okay?

Take Shui to the hospital.

Shui.

Stop!

This is what you get for seeking justice.

Look at this.

Ip Man.

Is this justice?

Is this righteousness?

Bufeng,

I started this.

I'll take sole responsibility.

How?

What can you possibly do?

Come, this way.

Feng.

He's looking for you.

Y-your sister

is in danger!

Stop crying!

Another dead.

Liu, Liu.

Do you remember the young rickshaw man?

Big news!

Don't let the news spread.

EXTRA: BRITISH BOXER DEFEATED BY WING CHUN MASTER

You didn't find all of them.

As long as I found them...

Freeze.

Let my sister go.

I've heard that you're quite the fighter.

I ruined your business.

Take me.

Let his sister go.

Okay.

Either he

or your sister dies.

Stop.

We should let the Chinese

admire the Bartitsu of Great Britain.

In three days,

we'll hold a fight in public.

If you win,

I'll let her go.

Bufeng.

Have faith.

We can save Chan for sure!

How?

By beating them.

Thank you, young master.

It's cold.

Let's go home.

Your mom is waiting.

Go tell her the news.

I'm getting some medicine for my buddies.

Okay.

The bill, please.

Bufeng.

Let me chip in.

See you.

I know

that it's our fault.

I promise

I'll pay you back.

Please let us off.

I have savings.

It may not be enough.

I also have a business.

I can give you everything.

Please

let us off.

Enough.

It's not about money anymore.

To know oneself is true knowledge.

You know what I want.

Okay.

My promise is under one condition.

Let Ip Man off

as well.

Mr. Stark,

what made you launch this contest?

Some people have said

that British Bartitsu

is no match for Chinese Wing Chun.

I must prove that it's a misunderstanding.

Master,

look at this.

You must remember

to hold your camera real tight.

I'm afraid I'll win so fast

you won't even get to click the shutter.

Wing Chun against Bartitsu?

News! News!

Wing Chun against Bartitsu!

News! News!

Get a newspaper.

Check it out.

Guys.

Here.

Wing Chun against Bartitsu.

That'd be interesting.

Not necessarily.

This contest

between Bartitsu and Wing Chun

is a friendly exchange.

This contest

between Bartitsu and Wing Chun

is friendly communication.

Whoever

gets off the stage

or

Pounds on the ground three times

loses.

Just surrender if you can't

take it.

We'll find another way to save Chan.

I got this.

The contest

may lead to death

or injury.

No one

shall take

any legal responsibilities.

It's quite hot.

Wipe your sweat.

The contest may lead to death or injury.

No one shall take any legal responsibilities.

I hereby announce that

the contest between Wing Chun and Bartitsu

starts now!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Ip Man! Ip Man!

Bartitsu!

- Go! - Go!

Go!

Wing Chun, Ip Man.

This is not good.

Bravo! Bravo!

- Bravo! - Not bad.

Well done!

Well done!

Sit tight.

Master Ip, what's wrong?

Don't push it.

Look.

Something's wrong.

No. Rest assured.

There's something wrong with Master Ip.

Yeah.

Bravo!

Get up, Master Ip.

Get up, Master Ip.

Young master, stop it.

Master Ip.

Young master.

Get up.

Master Ip. Master Ip.

Master Ip. Get up.

Stop it, young master.

Master Ip.

Come on, Master Ip! Get up!

Fight him!

Bartitsu!

Stop!

Just stop!

Young master!

Yeah!

That's the spirit!

Kill him!

You're here!

Host,

we give in!

Stop it now, please!

We give in!

Stand up!

Come on!

Master Ip!

Young master.

We give in!

We are done fighting!

Young master!

Get up!

Get up, Ip Man!

Come one, Ip Man!

Ip Man, get up!

Hello, Ip Man.

We can save Chan for sure!

Ip Man, help.

Young master, this is all my fault!

It's my fault!

Young master!

Young master!

Young master, please! Stop now!

Do not continue!

There you go! Get up!

Get up, Ip Man.

Young master!

Ip Man! Ip Man!

There you go!

Ip Man! Ip Man! Ip Man!

Ip Man! Ip Man!

Yeah!

That's the spirit!

There you go, Ip Man!

Follow the move, not your hands. Use your mind, not your eyes.

Ip Man, hit him! Hit him!

Ip Man! Ip Man! Ip Man!

We won!

He did it! We won!

Nice win, Master Ip!

Hooray!

Great! We won!

Ip Man!

Yes! We won!

Yeah!

Bufeng!

Bufeng!

Control the fire!

Bufeng! Bufeng! Bufeng!

Man!

Master!

Where is Bufeng?

- Move! - Move aside!

Move! Move!

What is it?

They are here.

What...

Move aside! Move!

Get lost!

Have you seen this guy?

No.

Find him!

Go go go!

Over there!

Quick!

Move aside!

Move!

Move!

What are you doing?

Go go!

Amen!

Let's go.

Over there!

Quick!

Get them!

They are on the run!

Go get him!

Master,

is this my fault?

If asking for justice is wrong,

then this world would be hopeless.

Righteousness

can be either forgotten

or awakened.

Forgetting is easy,

but

for awakening,

that's where you always pay the price.

Chinese kung fu

is not just about the moves.

It contains

the wisdom and spirit of Chinese Culture.

You have learned the spirit of justice,

but pleading for justice

requires good timing and chance.

Moreover,

wisdom and resourcefulness are needed.

Feet!

Feet!

RICKSHAW YARD MYSTERY EXPLOSION

To my dearest master,

What happened recently is all my fault.

My actions were definitely not wise.

As you have said before,

asking for justice and awakening righteousness

require wisdom and resourcefulness.

I, Man,

shall heed your words.

I have decided to go save the others.

Master, please do not worry about me.

A true warrior

shall have both wisdom and bravery,

and let his spirit last long.

IP MAN

Ms. Liu, this is Ip Man.

We are all Chinese.

I don't want to hurt you.

You are the first Chinese

who dares to confront me.

And you will be the last.

Ip Man!

Go on, go!

What are you looking at? Behave yourself!

Go!

Speed up!

Ms. Liu, this is Ip Man.

Ip Man, you are awesome.

Move move move!

Maybe you are trustworthy.

The British have been selling our people

at Dock B3.

That place was run by the British.

That's right.

This is a tough situation.

Yeah, I know that.

Breaking news! Breaking news!

No other papers will dare to report this piece!

I wonder if you can work this out.

Give back our liberty!

All men are created equal!

Give back our liberty!

No violence!

No oppression!

No hegemonism!

We will thoroughly investigate the dock and evil forces,

and return the truth to the people.

POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING CASE

RICKSHAW YARD CAUGHT ON FIRE

Master, this way.

What a bustling day! People are waiting for you!

Young master, join us for the ribbon-cutting later!

Sure.

Chan, mom! Come on!

Here, here!

Here!

Get around!

Come one, let's cut the ribbon together.

Come here, master!

Come out!

Okay.

Ms. Liu,

how did you manage to get people to the dock?

I told them that Miss Butterfly was there, shooting a movie.
