Zheng

the lion is the king of animals.

It moves agilely and roars fiercely. It's majestic and strong.

As it symbolises bravery, martial clubs chose it

to represent their clubs' spirit. Lift the lions!

When two clubs' lions meet,

they'd have a lion dance battle to develop their friendship.

So they will showcase their best moves.

But no matter how spectacularly they dance,

rules must be observed.

They should never

sniff another lion's butt,

as that means you treat the other lion like a lioness

and it'd provoke a fight.

Also, while approaching another lion,

don't blink the lion's eyes.

Don't raise your leg near another lion.

Many other situations

would also cause a fight between martial clubs.

Great!

Move!

Well done!

Bravo!

Chairman. The lion dance by wong yan—lam

from the jeng club is getting better and better.

Of course!

That's why we invite them to pick the Greens every year.

Give it to me!

He smiled at us.

Yes, he smiled at us. — yes.

Throw it down.

Throw it down to me.

Someone snatched our Greens! — don't move!

Step aside!

We didn't snatch. We picked.

Picked? Why did your lion take the Greens we threw out?

What a joke!

Our lion from the luk jeng—po club

only picked it up for you out of good intentions.

Are you saying that our lion dance is bad?

How dare you talk to me from above, kid! Where're your manners?

Where's your master?

He's having a discussion with master wong kei—ying.

Did jeng tin—sau think he was not good and went to wong kei—ying for advice?

No! We tin sau club dance for tinlok Lane every year.

My master feels confident to let me, wong yan—lam, dance on his behalf.

You know the rules of lion dance, then?

I've learned everything about lion dance!

Good!

When our lion passes your dancing area, what should your lion do?

Greet yours and exchange our name cards to show friendliness!

Lift the lion!

Lift the lion!

Fight!

Wu guan martial club

Greetings, masters.

Master luk. Master jeng.

Let's all have a drink! — cheers.

Cheers.

Master jeng.

Master luk.

Let's have a drink.

Come on.

Let's drink.

Yan—lam, have a drink with him.

Fei—hung! — do it!

Don't fight! — sit!

Sit down.

Fight!

Everyone, stop!

Stop!

Step back!

Step back!

Master wong, there's no point in you being a peacemaker.

Master luk—— — master wong.

Even if this peace—making dinner falls through,

I, jeng tin—sau, am not scared of you, luk jeng—po.

Master jeng, you—— — right!

Jeng tin—sau, be warned!

Master luk—— — san—ho, let's leave!

Master luk.

I saw it with my own eyes. It was your son's fault.

Yan—lam toasted him, but he pushed away.

Fei—hung, move aside!

You brat. Stirring up trouble again?

Master luk, we're all martial artists.

If there's a conflict, we can talk it over.

What's there to talk about?

There are often clashes when young lads do lion dance.

Why do you both take it seriously?

Was it my fault?

Of course it was your fault! — yan—lam!

Master wong, they dared to snatch the Greens of our club!

It was just because our lion dance was good.

You don't even know the rules of lion dancing!

What rules?

While dancing, why did your lion sniff our lion's butt?

Took it as a lioness. — fei—hung!

I'm just telling the truth.

What does 'blinking eyes' mean?

Contempt! — enough!

Let me tell you.

Blinking means the lion is energetic. — san—ho!

Master luk—— — master wong, there's more!

Their lion even stood up on one leg!

Dad, they obviously wanted a fight! — what fight?

Master luk.

Did you not even teach your students these rules?

Jeng tin—sau!

Master jeng, you can't blame master luk for this.

Youngsters are in high spirits during lion dancing.

They sometimes forget about the rules.

Isn't that right, master luk?

Master luk!

Stop fighting!

Stop fighting!

Fight him! — stop! Step back!

Stop it already!

Wong kei—ying, we'll meet again!

Luk jeng—po's really unreasonable.

Yeah! He's unreasonable! — stop shouting!

Master jeng, please have a seat inside.

Stay if you dare—— — shut up!

Yan—lam, our club went to pray at the temple that day.

There were 'seven—star Greens'. How tricky!

It was trickier

when our club plucked their Greens under the bridge.

That was how we did it.

Do you think it was that easy? There were 'water—snake Greens'!

I stepped on the head of the snake

and kicked it with my feet in order to take it.

Everyone on the street was clapping.

Hey, fei—hung, we—...

Yan—lam, we are good friends, aren't we? — yeah.

How long have you been learning kung fu at your club?

Over three years.

Over three years?

Let me be frank with you. — sure.

I don't think you can learn good kung fu at the jeng club.

What? I can't learn good kung fu? — that's right!

You can learn proper kung fu at our mo bun club.

What? Learning kung fu at the mo bun club?

Hey, you're saying that our jeng club sucks, then?

I'm being honest. Is there a problem?

Our club's kicking skills are famous in Guangzhou.

Our club's fist fighting skills are famous in guangdong.

These two young men's kung fu is great!

Yeah. Their kung fu's great!

Wait!

My strap came loose.

My belt came loose.

His belt came loose.

You're good. — you aren't bad.

Yan—lam, we're good friends.

If we keep fighting, one of us will surely get hurt.

Fei—hung, if we don't, how would we know who's better?

Do you insist? — yes.

All right!

Wait. I won't fight you.

If you don't, who shall I fight?

I have a good idea.

We'll fight two skilled fighters separately

and see who can defeat them first.

Not a bad idea.

This way, it won't harm our friendship.

How many moves?

Six moves.

Six? Okay.

Let's meet tomorrow at the busking area near the bridge

and find two good fighters.

We'll see who's faster.

Sure.

Keep going. — yes.

Do you remember what you said?

Find a big guy. — what big guy?

We're judging who's bigger. — right!

Don't fool around! Keep practising!

Hey, fei—hung, he might fight the wrong person.

You're right.

Ask him to wave the coin like this. Then I'll know.

Wang fu herbal medicine wholesale

Hey, dry it more. This herb is expensive.

Young man, you know nothing about horse stance.

Miss, you suddenly kicked my stool. Of course I fell!

I've always taught you that kung fu fighters should always—...

Keep your eyes and ears open, stay alert in all directions.

Show off. What should you pay attention to in the dark?

The soil is black at night, and the stones are white.

Wherever there's water, it should reflect the light.

So you must remember:

Black soil, white stones, and glistening water.

What if someone attacks you?

Count on your kung fu skills, then.

First move, get close to the person.

Don't give them a chance to use concealed weapons.

Second move, identify them. Men usually have a wider stance.

With a soft chest and slender waist, it must be a woman.

Little sis, can't you take a joke?

Stop there, both.

Dad, brother started the fight!

Dad, you saw it! She was hitting me!

You two always fight. I shouldn't have let you learn kung fu!

We learn kung fu for self—defence! Right?

Stop squabbling. You see? These guys have stopped working.

Get back to work!

Back to work now! Pick out the herbs!

Hurry up! Don't be lazy!

Sister, has my kung fu improved recently?

It has.

Still can't defeat me though.

I'm not trying to defeat you.

I want to defeat one person.

Who? — wong fei—hung.

Wong fei—hung?

Brother, why do you want to fight him?

Don't worry, I won't fight him.

But I want to compare our kung fu by defeating another person in six moves.

Brother, you—...

Brother, what're you doing? — sister, do you want your brother to win?

You do?

I do, so?

Tomorrow, find me a big guy. Give him a dollar.

One dollar? That much? What for?

Brother, you—...

Sister, I can defeat him without spending a dollar.

But I need to win faster than wong.

Well... all right, then.

Hey, you don't know that person. What'll be the signal?

That's easy.

Tell the big guy to close one eye as the signal.

Closing one eye is the signal?

They're good.

That's awful.

Right! — big enough!

Strong! — must be good!

Who goes first? — me, obviously! My fists are strong!

My kicks are strong, right?

It's you, lad.

So what if it's me?

Come on!

Right!

Hey.

Why are you both fighting me at the same time?

It should be one on one!

Kid—— — hey, he's mine!

Not mistaken, then?

One hit with my fist!

One hit with my kick!

Two hits!

Two hits here too.

The sixth move!

Still standing?

Here, this is for you. — money for medicine.

Well done! — good kung fu!

At the same time—— — we defeated them.

Evenly matched!

Yan—lam, aren't you going too far?

What are you afraid of?

Master taught me the meaning of silk sash knots:

Knot on the left means scholar; On the right means fighters;

in the middle means coach; At the back means fish seller.

So you consider yourself a coach?

Bro, how much money did you make?

Two dollars! — me, too!

Hard—earned.

They're coaches.

That's right! — so young?

Is there a problem? _ we__

Want to challenge us?

Come on!

You both misunderstood me. I meant we're all young

and you're both skilled as a coach and master already.

It's not about learning earlier

but learning better. — come on!

That's right.

Kung fu isn't about who learns first.

As long as a master thinks you've mastered your kung fu

and have martial arts morals, then you can be a master.

You are... — I'm their master.

Hey, his knot is tied in the middle.

- — 80 a master meets coaches. - Oh right.

Where do you coaches teach your students?

Good question. The jeng club on north street.

The mo bun club on zhangnan street.

Mo bun club?

Jeng club? — that's right!

Jeng club's coach is jeng tin—sau.

Mo bun club's coach is wong kei—ying!

Both of you are—...

Imposters? No!

We've just become coaches.

Impossible!

I, chow tin—lung, often meet with masters wong and jeng.

I should've known if they had a new coach!

You've come from the countryside. Of course you don't know!

Hey, master wong, we've got stuff to do.

Right. See you.

See you later!

Hold it!

What do you want?

Both of you, take me to your clubs.

No time!

You, go test them! — yes!

Will you take my master there?

What now?

What? Are you afraid? — afraid of what?!

We've just defeated two big guys in six moves!

These two are so little. A piece of cake!

Get them in four moves!

How're you doing? — I nearly kicked him to death. You?

My fist moves are obviously much better than his!

Ming!

I landed him one!

Chung!

I also landed one!

Your hits are too heavy. Let me do it.

Wait! The master's joining the fight.

What you scared of? You're a coach.

Coach? That's right!

You were landed one!

You, too!

One more hit!

Get him!

The third hit!

The fourth hit! — we've been defeated!

I'm sorry, master jau.

Fei—hung!

I've always taught you that you are what you are.

Don't boast. — dad,

I didn't know that he's a real master. I thought—...

Still prattling on?!

You must remember the rules of learning martial arts.

Left's scholar, right's fighter, master's in the middle!

Before you're a master, your knot must be on the right.

If master jau hadn't spared you, your neck would've been twisted!

Apologise to master jau now!

Never mind. — he said never mind!

Dad, he didn't twist my neck. You did.

You bastard!

Master wong, never mind.

My master's palm strike was really powerful.

My dad's, too.

It was all your fault.

You said knot at the back is fish seller,

left's scholar, right's fighter, in the middle's coach!

We bumped into a real coach! — how could I have known?

So you thought he was an impostor? — yeah!

Now both your head and mine got twisted!

Enough!

Didn't that fatty master jau go to your place?

Yeah! He's still chatting with my dad.

Hey, they aren't talking about punishing us again, are they?

No.

That fatty master jau admires my dad's kung fu skills.

He wants his student, chan jung, to be trained in our club.

No wonder you haven't gone home yet!

Exactly.

Fei—hung, have you got some cash? — yes.

Waiter, the bill!

- Wait! - All right.

Hey, I'm not asking you to pay the bill, I'm asking how much cash you've got.

If you have enough,

I'll take you to explore under the lanterns tonight.

Why would we pay for lanterns?

What lanterns are you thinking of?

White ones, red ones, or blue ones for the dead.

You really know nothing.

The lanterns I'm talking about can be tall, short, fat, or thin.

They come in all sorts.

That'd be festive lanterns.

Why don't you get it? I'm talking about brothels.

Brothels? — that's right.

Do you go often? — yes.

You bad boy!

Fei—hung, we practise kung fu so hard during the day.

We should go to these places to relax our minds at night.

How much have you got? — two dollars.

Two dollars is plenty.

Waiter, the bill!

Hey, something's going on here.

Let's have a look.

Hey, I've paid you!

What are they doing?

Mr wong's performing hard oigong!

Bravo!

It's amazing, mr wong!

Let me see.

I want to see, too. — sit down.

It's really broken.

Hey, mei—ling, mei—chui, a client is waiting in room 1.

Hey, go back to your rooms and work. Go.

Don't go yet! I can show you more.

Yan—lam, leave them be.

Hey, fei—hung, I often do this when I come here.

To get so many girls around me,

you don't really need to pay. — you—...

Everyone, I've got something else to show you.

Great! — mei—giu, stand up.

Why are you pulling my sash? — for a performance.

Want me to perform? I won't!

You aren't performing, I am. Lend me your sash?

Are you going to burn my sash?

No! — sit down first.

Mei—fong! — you okay?

Hold this. — I'm okay.

He's always like this. — yeah.

What's this? — tie me up!

Come on! — tie you up?

Do it!

Make it tight!

Done!

It's tied, isn't it? — It's tied!

Mei—fong, do you believe that I can hug you in an instant?

Hug me in an instant? I don't believe it!

He said he can hug me in an instant. Do you believe it?

You really don't believe that I can do it?

No!

Come! Hug me!

Bravo!

Amazing! You're really good!

Fook. Let's watch a show.

Shall we? — sure.

Sir, it's a sweet watermelon. Try it? — what are you doing?

Pal, I've never eaten such a big watermelon in the north!

Try it!

Sir, you haven't paid yet.

Sir, one cent, please. — he's brilliant!

Thanks.

Pal, you don't need to pay for my watermelon.

Here's one dollar. Please take it.

What's this for? — one, not four.

A young man will pick a fight with you later. You must lose.

If you fall to the ground, he'll give you one more dollar.

What? I don't understand. — down payment.

Pal!

This jade—— — it's not for sale!

Remember, this Jade is the signal!

This man's really weird.

He paid for my watermelon and even gave me money.

Here comes the sugar plum chicken.

Is this chicken?

Check—in?

Chicken! Like drunken chicken.

It's not drunken chicken, it's poached chicken.

I... chicken.

You want one? Sure! Just a minute!

Looks like the drunken chicken in the north.

This cantonese rice wine is also good.

One is enough.

Young lady.

You're quite strong!

One dollar? — for you!

For me? — yes!

When my brother comes later, spar with him.

Come here!

You'll get one more dollar.

This Jade would be the signal.

Young lady! — remember!

Fall down!

This again? Inexplicable.

Here comes the poached chicken!

Bridge—toppling moves.

I've been practising hard for months!

Close combat moves

and pearl—snatching moves.

I haven't been idle either. — fei—hung.

That's why we should have a duel to see who's better!

You really think I'll lose? — go in and pick your opponent.

I'm full.

Cantonese cuisine's really good, pal! — yeah.

He has a Jade pendant.

He's the big guy.

He must be good. — try him.

Hey, hold it there.

You want to give me money too, bro?

Northerner, why would I give you money?

You want to look at this, too?

No. You look fit. You must be a good fighter. Let's play some sports.

Play?

I get it.

I need to do this, right?

Right? — he wants wrestling.

Was it good?

What's this about, pal?

You wanted to test my kung fu, pal. Why didn't you say so earlier?

Enough!

Want to try again, pal?

Fall down now!

What? — you should lose!

What a joke! Why would I lose?

Tell me. Did you lose or did I?

You can't beat him. Let me have a go.

Hey! Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Cantonese people are incomprehensible.

Hey, don't go!

Are you really all right?

Over here.

Yan—lam.

Who has medicinal oil?

You probably didn't practise in the last two months.

You were taken down by a few hits.

Who has medicinal oil?

Brother! Brother! Are you okay?

You're cruel! Injuring my brother's throat with tiger claw!

No!

It wasn't my doing!

It was the northerner who hurt him! — the northerner wouldn't hurt my brother!

Why? — I've already—...

Already what?

You still deny hurting him with tiger claw?

Don't attack me again.

Yan—lam! — brother! Are you okay?

Why don't we take him home? — not your business.

Are you okay, brother? — why are you so unreasonable?

Tiger claw!

Master, with the kung fu you taught, he shouldn't have lost to wong fei—hung.

He must've ambushed my brother! — yeah.

Quiet!

Tiger claw uses five fingers.

Why are there only three marks?

Guk—ying, did you get it wrong?

No. I saw that my brother was seriously hurt and couldn't move anymore.

Wong fei—hung pinned him on the table and wanted to hit him again!

Yan—lam, did wong fei—hung ambush you?

Where is wong fei—hung now? — I nearly had him when we fought.

But my brother suddenly fainted.

I had to look after my brother, so I couldn't take him here.

Wong fei—hung must be in his club. — that's good.

Brothers, let's make him pay!

Hold it there!

I have a deep friendship with wong kei—ying.

If his son doesn't understand the rules of the martial arts world,

I'll surely get the truth out of wong kei—ying.

You're not to do anything reckless.

Go and get medicine for yan—lam.

Yes.

Luck

hold your stance!

Higher!

Hold your stance!

Raise your leg!

Get lost! Don't get in the way.

Seven—star move!

You southerners are good at lion dance. — hey!

Lion dance in the north is different. I'll show you.

This won't do.

Let me borrow this. — snatching our lion's head?!

What are you doing? I just want to show you.

How dare you come to our club and snatch our lion head!

Snatch?

You misunderstood.

I'm just borrowing it. — borrowing?

Never mind. I'll give it back.

Don't hit me. My name is shan xiong.

I don't care who you are!

Master shan!

Master luk!

Stop!

Master shan, this is my son, san—ho.

This kid is so naughty!

Yes.

San—ho, come and greet master shan!

Dad, this northerner—— — for goodness' sake!

Everyone, listen up!

I met master shan a few years ago at the jingwu school in the north.

Master shan is very skilled at martial arts.

Don't flatter me.

Not at all.

I specially invited him here

to bridge the essence of southern and northern martial arts.

It's an honour, master shan! Show your respect to him!

Master shan!

Wong fei—hung!

Hey, where's wong fei—hung?

Why are you looking for him?

We want to settle a score!

Are you challenging our club?

So what? Fight!

Hey, fei—hung, someone's challenging our club!

Help them! — right!

It's you?

Everyone, stop fighting!

Step aside!

Wong guk—ying.

Our mo bun club and your tin sau club have been getting along.

Getting along? You ambushed my brother with tiger claw.

You're mistaken! Your brother and fei—hung are good friends.

Why would he ambush your brother? — use your brain.

Nobody move!

Since you accuse me of ambushing your brother

fine, I'll take all responsibility. — hey, fei—hung!

How'll you answer for it?

Brothers, please step aside!

All of you step back!

Well done!

Don't fight!

You brat, always making trouble.

I nearly lost my ten—year friendship with master wong.

Master, he—...

Master jeng.

As his throat was hurt and he couldn't speak,

there was some misunderstanding.

That's right. — 'right' what?!

If you want to test your kung fu,

you should spar with your brothers in the club.

Fighting with people you don't know

can easily create friction between martial clubs.

I know, master.

That's why I picked a northerner

who's just come to canton, to test my kung fu.

I didn't know—— — yan—lam.

Some northerners have extraordinary skills.

They might look ordinary,

but they might have some tricks up their sleeve.

If he didn't hold back, your throat would've been torn.

Where's guk—ying?

I don't know.

Apologise to fei—hung on your sister's behalf.

No need!

Guk—ying, that's enough!

This way, please.

Master wong, your students work really hard!

They even skip lunch to practise kung fu.

Yan—lam! Who brought your classmates here to make trouble?

Classmates? — stop!

Step aside! — stand back!

Who told you to fight?

Quiet!

Who brought you here? — master!

Guk—ying! — fei—hung!

Dad. — master, come and help quickly!

Yan—lam! — brother, why didn't you hit him?

It wasn't him.

What are you doing? — he didn't hurt me.

He didn't? Who was it?

The northerner hurt me.

The one I gave a dollar to?

Shan xiong's rolling double blades

are really powerful.

With this northerner,

our club will be more respected in Guangzhou.

His spear is unmatched and fast as an arrow.

Excellent spear skills.

San—ho, it's not that your dad's kung fu isn't good enough,

but I want the fusion of southern and northern martial arts

to exist only in the luk jeng—po club.

If any martial clubs pick a quarrel with us in the future

I'll wipe them out!

No. You mustn't be conspicuous.

Otherwise, shan xiong would suspect that we're using him.

Dad, can I do it secretly?

Look!

I like him. — it looks tough.

Impressive.

What's going on? He doesn't look all right.

Don't push yourself too much.

Are you okay?

Are you all right? — tell me if you're unwell.

Tell me. — are you okay?

Say something!

You bad boy!

Well done!

Really well done! Look how impressive he is.

Jan—wa, time to jog!

More power.

More power.

Jan—wa!

Fei—hung, are you all right? — I'm fine.

Are you all right?

Fei—hung, your back and shoulders are getting stronger!

Brilliant! — really great!

That's enough! Keep jogging! — keep jogging!

Good morning! — good morning, fei—hung!

Why are you jogging so early? Last night, didn't you go—...

Hold on!

I did. That's why I came to see you so early.

What is it?

There were two new girls at the brothel last night.

One's called giu, the other mi...

They have amazing bodies!

Yan—lam, I'm not going to that kind of place.

I need to practise harder with my brothers.

You shouldn't go there either, or your kung fu will be wasted.

My kung fu will be wasted?!

Chan—jung! Jan—wa! Hit me! — right!

Yan—lam!

You never change. You just want to show off.

Fei—hung!

Who'd know about my kung fu if I didn't show off?

Whatever! Let's jog! — come on! Let's jog!

Fei—hung, you're good!

You're strong!

Everyone! All of you come here!

Hey, come here! — watch this!

Can anyone move my horse stance?

Hey, you go! Go on| — try it! I

let me try!

My turn!

Come on! Bring it on!

Whoever wants to try, come here!

Bring it on! Come on!

Fei—hung, I'll try!

More power!

Harder!

Jung, you need more power to move my legs.

That's more like it!

Good. Try harder!

Harder!

Dad?

Fei—hung, get up!

Although your stance is steady, you aren't focused enough.

So I could take you down easily.

Dad, how'd I know that you took jung's place?

That's why I didn't use my full force. — fei—hung!

You must remember this!

It's not about learning earlier but learning better.

While sparring, even if your dad loses to you

it's not a big deal.

You're right. But you're my—...

Enough!

Fei—hung. I haven't practised horse stance with anyone for a while.

Come on! Let me practise with you! — no!

Not bad!

Dad!

That's it! Now you're concentrating.

Do you both have enough strength to part my fingers?

Try it. — yeah, give it a try!

Use more strength!

Harder! — you must use more power.

Hurry up! — harder!

That's naughty.

We don't want to play this! — yeah!

What should we play, then? — kung fu!

Kung fu?

Kung fu is for the bedroom!

We'll do something else here.

All right! I'll show you!

Watc h.

Here are two bowls.

Don't be afraid!

Don't you want to see kung fu? Watch closely!

Don't be scared!

I only crushed these two bowls,

not you!

That doesn't count.

I want you to play with this!

Tying up my hands?

This is too easy. Let's play something else!

Play this! — no!

Play this! — I won't!

Okay!

You really want me to do this? — yes!

What's the reward?

If you can break this sash and hug one of us,

we'll spend the night with you for free!

Good. It's a deal!

Tie me up!

Is it tight? — yes.

Come closer.

Come here.

What's wrong with you?

What kind of sash is this?

Why aren't you saying anything?

What kind of sash is this?

It has beef tendon in it.

Luk san—ho. So it's you.

You—— — that's right.

I asked them to hide the beef tendon in the sash.

Why did you do this?

Because I have a lot of money!

You're despicable! — you're worse.

You think you're strong, so you always show off in the brothel.

You just want to grope the girls.

Well, the stage is set for you.

Give us a show.

Hug her! Hug!

Untie me!

Look at him!

He's not so proud anymore, not arrogant anymore!

He can't even do kung fu!

Get weapons!

Don't let him use hard oigong!

Where's your hard oigong? — you scum. Using cold water!

Run!

Leave! Stop fighting!

Teng shau club

Who is it?

Master, it's me.

Brother, you—...

Where've you been this late? Come and practise!

Practise? — come here now.

Why are your hands tied?

Master, I—...

Brother! — yan—lam!

Are you okay? Yan—lam!

His leg's broken. — broken?

Brother, how did you break your leg?!

Master, I—...

Senior! — brother!

Where've you been?

A brothel.

You punk!

Your brothers have been practising, but you went to a brothel.

You've brought shame to my reputation.

Did you pick a fight? — no!

No? Then how did you break your leg?

I fell.

You're lying again!

Why are your hands tied?

I was trying to break it with my oigong.

Brother, how can anyone break a beef tendon?

Yan—lam, you obviously had a fight!

No, I didn't fight anyone!

With whom? — no one!

Brother, tell us!

I didn't. — tell us!

Still lying? I'll lock you up until you tell us.

Tell us! — no, master, I didn't fight!

Lock him up! — right!

Master, how's brother?

I've reconnected his bones, but the brat'll be crippled for a while!

Brother, I brought you a change of clothes.

What the hell for?!

Master locked me in here! I can't even get out!

Brother, who hurt you?

Didn't I say that I fell?!

Who saw you fall?

I did!

Here! The clothes!

Young lady, who are you looking for?

I'm looking for wong fei—hung.

That's quite funny.

Looking for me again? — that's right.

Guk—ying, how did I offend you this time?

Come here.

Hold it.

Fei—hung, who hurt my brother?

Yan—lam's hurt?

Yes. Someone broke his leg.

His leg's broken? Who did it?

He refused to tell master. You're his friend. You must know.

I don't know!

You don't know? Or you don't dare say?

I really don't know!

Hey! Where are you going? — to see yan—lam!

Wait for me!

Let them get closer.

Yeah!

Wong yan—lam.

You couldn't break a sash. How can you break an iron chain?

Wong fei—hung! You know nothing!

I surely know nothing.

I don't know hard oigong.

It wasn't hard oigong! A beef tendon was hidden in the sash!

So you were tricked by those whores.

They didn't dare.

Because you always show off your kung fu in the brothel

to attract girls; But you never pay for kissing them,

so they've tricked you together. — no!

I'd say that was the case.

It was luk san—ho!

With your kung fu, how could he tie you up?

He paid the whores!

Luk san—ho. How despicable.

Brother, I'll make him pay! — no! I'll do it myself.

Yan—lam, how will you get out of here like this?

Guk—ying, I'll go with you for this.

Hey! Don't go! I'll go myself!

Hey! Don't go! I'll go myself!

He said he knows hard oigong.

But the fist moves of our club are unbeatable!

Come on! Come closer!

Then those girls offered themselves to me!

That's amazing. — of course!

Brother ho, wong fei—hung's here! — wong fei—hung?

Everyone, get weapons!

Don't move!

I'm looking for luk san—ho!

Looking for me? How many people did you bring?

Are you scared? There are just two of us!

Have you come to pay a friendly visit or to learn?

You're a scum of martial arts! Why would I be friendly?

Such low—class kung fu. How can it be worth learning?

Jeng club's wong yan—lam showed off his skills at the brothel.

Isn't that worse?

Luk san—ho, you were no match for my brother,

so you ambushed him with the whores.

Young lady, wong yan—lam is your brother?

Has his broken leg healed?

You—...

Stop!

Brothers! Be careful not to hurt this young lady.

You—...

Wong fei—hung! Why does mo bun club always want to get involved?

I'm not here to get involved.

But you tied his hands up with beef tendon and broke his leg.

You ought to apologise to jeng tin—sau's club for this.

What for?

He couldn't break the beef tendon and broke his leg.

He should blame himself for his poor skills.

You're quite unreasonable. — so what?

So you want to outnumber us? — let's fight!

Lady, do you want a weapon?

Take it!

Take it.

Can't take it?

Be careful!

Luk san—ho. Dozens against two. Is this in the spirit of martial arts?

You dare challenge our club with just the two of you?

Brothers, break his legs!

It's the northerner again.

So he was hired by luk jeng—po.

Master!

So many of you fighting those two. That's outrageous.

Master shan! They're here to challenge our club. Fight!

Stop!

Even if they come to challenge us, it should be one on one!

That's the rule of martial arts!

Master luk, do you agree? — yes.

Dad, which side is master shan on?

San—ho!

Master shan! — I'm talking about rules.

Ignore him. Fight!

Young lady!

Stop fighting!

Young lady, why are you challenging our club?

Nice kung fu. Good spear skills!

I'm flattered.

Weapon against weapon. Fist against fist. How admirable!

Which club do you belong to?

He's the son of wong kei—ying of the mo bun club.

I am wong fei—hung.

You have such good morals at your young age.

What's your grievance against master luk?

His son plotted to break my brother's leg in a brothel.

Master luk! — Is this true? San—ho!

That's not true! He lost to me!

I think it's a misunderstanding.

Master luk.

You should still explain it to the jeng club even so.

Wong fei—hung!

Whatever happened, you should both leave now,

or things will become worse.

We can't let them leave so easily. Fight!

Don't fight!

Hey, fei—hung! Don't be afraid! — fight!

Stop! Who asked you to fight?

Stop!

San—ho!

All of you go inside!

Get going!

Dad, they—...

Master luk!

Go inside!

Master wong! Master jeng!

How are you doing?

Master luk, good to see you.

My idiot son had a trivial dispute with jeng's student in the brothel.

It troubled the both of you to bring your students here.

I'm so sorry.

Master jeng, his son tricked yan—lam in the brothel—...

Fei—hung!

It was wrong to make trouble in the brothel.

Who told you to come?

We're here to talk, not stir up trouble.

I'll decide on this matter with master jeng.

A letter should be sent before visiting other clubs.

Visiting without notice can be seen as challenging a club.

Let's go back.

Since you're here, please have some tea and let's chat in my club.

Masters, honour us with your presence. — yes.

Master luk, we have too many people today.

We'll visit you another day. Excuse us.

Masters, if you have time, you're welcome to lok sin theatre.

Thank you.

Let's go!

What are you doing?

This coach from the north walks steadily and looks very calm.

His martial arts skills must be extraordinary.

Luk jeng—po handled it well today.

We went there in a big group, but he remained calm.

It was regrettable.

Yan—lam, that punk—...

It's already wrong to visit a brothel.

He even caused trouble there!

I'm really speechless.

Master jeng, what happened, happened.

We can only discipline our students and beware of luk jeng—po's other schemes.

Right. I've locked yan—lam in a room.

Higher.

San—ho, why aren't you practising?

Master shan. We're talking about the new opera at lok sin theatre.

The actors are great! Are you going?

I'm not going. I don't understand cantonese opera.

Dad.

Proceed with your plan.

Luk san—ho has invited us to the opera.

What? Have you got it wrong? — no, I didn't! It's true!

He also said that the actors are new!

Hey! What opera?

Brother!

Brother, luk san—ho invited us to their lok sin theatre.

Yeah. It doesn't make sense.

Weird. Why would luk san—ho be so nice?

Sister, put in a good word for me.

Ask master to let me out. I'll secretly look into it.

Why would master let you out?

He won't let you out before your leg is healed.

Did luk invite wong fei—hung? — I don't know.

Find wong fei—hung now. He'll have some good ideas.

It's intriguing.

Would the luks be so nice to invite us to the opera?

Yeah. — suspicious.

Could it be—— — it's obvious.

He's scared of us! What's so weird about that?

Guk—ying, they invited you too? — of course.

I got it.

Luk san—ho plotted to break your brother's leg.

His dad owns a martial club.

If there's friction with too many other clubs,

he can't sustain his one in Guangzhou.

So he acts obsequiously by inviting us to the opera

to improve our relationship.

Yeah.

Guk—ying, are you going?

No way.

No? He will go. Don't you want to go with him?

She hit me!

Got a ticket? This way, please. — yes.

This is awesome!

Bravo!

The one with peacock feathers is lu bu.

Gwan, liu, Chang

Bravo!

Great! — amazing skills.

He's even better.

Amazing fights. — yeah!

Well done. — yeah!

Amazing skills. — yeah!

Peanuts.

San—ho, did you report it to the authorities?

Yes. I said someone didn't pay for the opera tickets.

Good.

Even if someone is killed,

it won't be our fault.

That actor performs well. — yeah.

The one in yellow is the best. — yes!

Bravo!

Mai oiu nong

what's the matter?

Quiet!

Everyone!

Stay calm! It's nothing serious!

We're just going to check tickets! Please sit down!

Why do they want to check tickets?

We've heard that some people didn't pay for tickets.

Please show us your tickets now.

Hey, we don't have tickets!

Fei—hung! — what ticket? Luk invited us here.

Present your tickets.

I do have a ticket.

Here.

Do you have tickets?

Tickets? — we have none. We don't need one.

Why not?

Hey! Luk san—ho invited us to the opera! — yeah! He invited us!

Is that right? — no, I wasn't told.

Watching without paying? — what? Watching without paying?!

Why would I do that? — don't believe us? Ask him!

It can't be for free.

Gentlemen!

Luk san—ho reserved these two rows for us to watch the show.

Yeah, that's right! — so why would we need tickets?

Big brother.

They said that you paid for these two rows for them.

Wong fei—hung!

Did I invite you all to the opera?

Of course!

You reserved these two rows for us to watch the show!

If I had invited you, I would've given each of you a ticket.

Then you'd be allowed to enter.

The man at the entrance said you made arrangements.

He said we didn't need any tickets.

What a joke! If you don't have tickets, you're watching without paying.

Luk san—ho!

Don't make false accusations!

You needn't pay for us. We'll make up for it!

Right! We'll make up for it!

If everyone bought tickets after entering, then my theatre would be messed up!

So what do you want?

Everyone!

We've found out that wong fei hung's group didn't buy tickets.

In accordance with the rules of our theatre,

we'll take them to the police! Tie them up!

- Right! - Hold it!

Luk san—ho, we'll go with you. No need to tie us up!

No! Tie them up!

Fei—hung, let's breakout! — right!

Fei—hung, the exit is blocked! — wah, open the gate!

Fei—hung, the gate's locked!

What?! — what now?

All exits are sealed! — what do we do?

Everyone, draw your weapon!

No!

Break the lamps!

When it's dark, let's rush up to the stage! Go!

Come on!

Don't let them break the lamps!

Master luk! — scum!

You punks! You dare not pay for tickets?

Fei—hung, clear the course!

Go away!

Let's go!

Don't let them get away!

Let's go!

Wong fei—hung?

They didn't pay for the tickets!

Beat him!

Master shan, beat him now!

Master shan!

Why don't you beat him?

Beat him!

Everyone, beat him!

Attend to your big brother now!

Master shan, not only did they come to make trouble,

but they also hurt san—ho. Let's teach them a lesson!

Stop!

Who hadn't paid for the tickets? — It was them!

They also wounded my son with force.

No!

They tricked us here to settle old scores.

Right! We were outnumbered and beaten! — yeah!

Quiet! Take them all to court! — aye!

Stop!

Stop!

Deputy Marshall!

Dad! — master wong!

Master wong kei—ying.

Deputy Marshall, they're all from mo bun and tin sau clubs.

Why didn't you practise kung fu instead of coming here?

Because of him—...

It was him who invited—— — quiet!

Master wong, who taught your students not to pay?

What?! You—...

Quiet!

Deputy marshal, this theatre is run by master luk jeng—po.

He has many kung fu students on guard here.

How could eight people enter the theatre without tickets?

Your students were savages!

They made a big fuss when we didn't let them in.

If there was any fuss, it should've been at the entrance.

Why was the gate closed and the door locked?

Why did they fight on the stage?

Are you saying that I intentionally framed your students?

No. Not at all.

Maybe it's all a misunderstanding.

Deputy Marshall, I will vouch for them as the militia chief.

Please release them first.

If anything happens later, I'll take full responsibility.

Right! If this theatre has any claims, you'll be responsible.

Thank you!

You monkeys! Get a move on!

Let's go!

Deputy Marshall! — enough!

Submit your compensation claim to the court. Let's go!

Master shan!

Wong fei—hung's group didn't pay for the tickets

and they injured my leg!

Why didn't you help?

Wong kei—ying threw his weight around as the militia chief

to suppress this matter in the presence of the officers.

Master luk, they had fewer people and you had more.

If I Wade in and jingwu school finds out, I'll be unable to justify it on my return.

Master shan, you're probably afraid of wong kei—ying.

What a joke!

I came to canton to make new martial arts friends.

I'm not afraid of anyone!

But about this incident, I should—...

Don't worry. Wong kei—ying is one of the five tigers of canton.

I want to meet him too.

Great! Dad, let's challenge his club now!

No.

I have principles.

I'll take you to his club and you'll apologise to him first!

What? Me? Apologise? — yes!

I'll invite him here to accept master luk's compensation.

What? My compensation?! — yes!

You should offer them cloth and white rice.

Ridiculous!

It's all part of the plan.

Master shan, you—...

Also, if they dare to accept our cloth and white rice...

I'll walk them to the door.

Let's ambush them by the door!

No need.

Are you doubting my skills?

No!

Wu guan martial club

please. — after you.

Masters, we'll go now.

Take care.

Go, and I won't see you out.

Don't drop him, you two.

Outrageous—— — san—ho!

Thanks for your concern!

Master shan, you've brought mr luk here to apologise.

You've given us great respect.

Why talk of compensation?

Master wong, it was san—ho's fault all along.

If this is settled with just an apology,

I fear we'd become a joke of the martial arts world.

Unless both of you—— — master shan, what are you saying?

Want to disrespect me.

All right! We'll go for sure!

Great!

Goodbye, gentlemen. — goodbye.

Let's go.

Master wong.

Master shan brought luk san—ho here to apologise,

but his dad didn't come.

This is disrespectful to us.

So the northerner will take this matter into his hands.

Dad, luk jeng—po sent his son to apologise to us.

You can also send your son there. That would be fair.

Yeah! Master, send me!

No way!

Your temper will surely cause trouble.

Yeah! Your leg hasn't healed yet.

Master, can I go?

You? — master jeng.

Let guk—ying go there and gain experience.

Fei—hung, your idea is good.

But it's not a simple matter.

The northerner obviously wants to test our martial arts.

Dad, I understand.

Guk—ying, you can go, but you must listen to fei—hung.

If you make a fool of yourself, it'd bring shame to our clubs.

Master, don't worry, I can watch them from a distance!

There'll be no problem.

I'll lock you in a room.

I won't go, then.

Lu zheng—pu martial club

I don't think they dare come.

No way. They'll come for sure.

Just the two of you?

Yes.

Our masters are occupied with other matters,

so they sent us to pay respects to the luk jeng—po club.

How suitable are you to represent them?

We aren't skilled like you masters.

We'd like to learn from you humbly.

All right.

It's all the same with both of you here.

But can you really represent mo bun and tin sau clubs?

As we were sent by our masters,

we hope that we won't disappoint you.

All right.

San—ho, apologise to them first.

I was too offensive before. Please accept my apology to you.

Not at all! — san—ho!

At lok sin theatre,

you damaged the clothes of wong fei—hung's classmates.

I'm very sorry about that.

So master luk specially prepared some cloth as compensation.

Senior luk.

It's trivial that the clothes were damaged.

The Harmony between our clubs is the most important thing.

So you don't accept it?

You dare to come and not accept our compensation?

Why wouldn't we dare? — guk—ying!

These rolls of cloth are more or less the same in colour.

But—...

Please check them...

And see if they're durable.

All right. — guk—ying.

They want to test our horse stances.

Step back.

Good horse stance. — thank you.

Master luk, this cloth is very durable.

Please try another!

Master luk, this cloth is a good choice.

Master luk, this cloth's hard to tear.

Wong fei—hung, I'm impressed.

You flatter me.

Master luk.

Do you want to try another? — no need.

No need?

Luk san—ho, hurry up and pick this cloth up.

What did you say?!

San—ho!

Did you forget about the other compensation?

Master luk, the cloth is enough for us.

No! We still have some rice for you!

Wong fei—hung, take as much as you can.

I'll bring it to you.

Master shan!

Master shan, the rice is pure white.

Good. Take as much as you can.

Fei—hung! — keep calm! I still have enough strength!

If you can't take that much, put down a few bags.

I don't need your help!

If you think you're capable, carry all five bags of rice.

Wong fei—hung, use your family's kung fu.

Good!

Please excuse us.

Thanks for the cloth and rice!

Fei—hung, let's leave.

Not that easy! — attack!

Don't move!

Do it my way.

Let me see our guests out.

If you please.

Fei—hung!

Dad!

Nine twists Lane

bu yeng compound

It's so secluded here in the nine twists Lane.

No one would know who wins or loses in a duel.

Guk—ying, you have to go.

If the northerner loses,

he'd be embarrassed that you see it.

Wong fei—hung, you—— — you've lost a move!

What? I lost one? — that's right!

You acted so impulsively before a duel.

Your anger might cloud your eyes.

Fei—hung, well done.

You leave first.

Master shan, when you lose control of your temper,

even if you have highly skilled kung fu, your power will be diminished.

You've lost another one.

You're cunning!

I'm not cunning.

When a duel starts,

you have to beware of your opponent's every move.

Well done, kid. You sure know how to gain the upper hand.

Is that it?

Our hung family specialises in fist and staff moves.

In this six—foot space, I'd use wide moves.

The wide moves of the hung family are unique!

My turn!

Good tiger claw!

You grip with three fingers.

It must be the eagle claw style.

Of the hung family's ten styles, the snake is the trickiest!

Great panther paw moves.

Your dragon style is both rigid and flexible.

No need to measure it. It's about four feet.

In this space, I'll lower my elbows and shoulders.

In this three—foot space, your leg moves are unimpeded.

It's worth challenging.

Your stance is like riding a horse. Your muscles are as strong as a bridge.

It's rare even in hung style.

My iron wire fist moves can immobilise a horse.

They're traditional hung fist—style, inherited from abbess ng mui.

The iron wire fist of the traditional hung style is great!

Master shan!

Master luk.

The highest level of martial arts is your own ethics.

My trip to canton has really broadened my horizons.

Master wong, you're the best amongst the senior five tigers.

Wong fei—hung will lead the next generation of five tigers.

Thanks for your advice, senior.

Bravo!
