Excuse me. HuhBut did you buy a ticket

for me?Oh, I'm sorry to have to tell you

that the train is not running. What?All

they could tell me was the army's taking

it over. Oh, god damn it.

Hey, woman. Hurry up. Over here. Come

on now. Yeah. Hurry it up. I haven't got

all day.

Tell them about the soldiers. Be careful.

It's $3.

You go first. All right, I'll see you

later.

Quick. Have you finished?Yeah.

Come on. All right. Come on. All right.

That's six dollars. What do you say?I owe

you six dollars?Now, you went to Shopko's

dinner. You'll always serve us free food

from now on. We never pay for it. Come

on, get out. All right. You want to stay

in business?We'll run you out of

business.

Goddamn it, watch it, you bastard What's

wrong?What do you want?Nothing much.

You are gonna join the army. There's a

mistake. I'm not a recruit. That's what

you say, but I say different. You are

gonna join the army.

Right, you should go over there. Now you

come.

Hey, you there. You can come on us.

Hey.

Oh.

Didn't you kill me at the front door?What

do you want?I'm from out of town. They

just tried to press gang me. Is there a

place I can hide?Hmm

Open up, Binderb. This is the army.

Come on, open up. You have a change of

clothes. You can join in with us. Right.

Come on, open up! Open this door!

Come on!

Teacher Kate?Oh, hello, Captain.

Kate, have you seen anyone just come in

here?Oh, I have. We have been

practicing. We would have seen if anyone

had come in.

That's strange. We've looked everywhere.

We saw him. Heading this way. HuhCaptain

Lee. HuhGonna stay.

Sorry.

Captain Lee. HuhGoodbye. Oh, right.

Come on, man.

Thanks for your help. Uh, don't mention

it. What is your name?Me?I'm called

Conrad Chan. Oh, Conrad. My name's

Kane. Please,

Kane.

Uncle Conrad?This is my son, Tony.

Oh, how old are you?I'm Ted. Uncle

Conrad. Say it was made after you. Oh,

thank you. Thanks. He's a kung fu

expert. If you keep practicing each day,

you might one day be as good as him. So

you're learning kung fu?Yes. Uncle

Conrad, will you teach me?Sure, I'll

teach your son.

ohh Well, Conrad, can you tell me now the

reason?Why are you a... A friend asked me

to come. I was supposed to collect some

jewels and take them back with me.

But I gather the train has been delayed.

There's been a lot of trouble in this

area. We can't trust the police.

If you want, you can rest up here for a

short while. You're welcome to stay till

the train arrives. But I'll give you

trouble. Uh, don't

talk nonsense. We're friends now. You

must make yourself at home.

Uncle, are you going to be staying with

us?That's right, that's right. I am

staying. Really?Of

course. Oh,

Conrad, before I go, I have something to

say to you. I'm listening, sir.

The whole of the country is in a state of

upheaval. Be careful.

You must stay out of trouble, remember.

Wayne, come here.

What do you think you're playing at?

Have you been gambling again?You will

never be a kung fu champion, unless you

practice. There's no time for gambling

and girls. I've told you that before. The

casino is out of bonds, do you understand?

You will end up in prison if you keep

going there. If you disobey me again,

I'll give you a flashing. Get it!

The casino, who is the boss there?

His name is Charles Meade. He runs a gym

here as well. He's a powerful man. He's

the trainer for the young... They're all

in cahoots. He is dangerous.

If he's working for the army, how come he

can run a casino?He has used his money to

influence all the local officials. He

runs the casino and the brothels, drug

dens. He is the local godfather.

Tell me what you say his name was.

His name's Giles Mean.

God damn it.

That bastard Kane is always against us.

Golly, I reckon

it's certain that Kane's hiding this guy

somewhere at his place. Otherwise, he

couldn't have escaped. Why didn't you

search his place?I tried to. But

as you well know, Kane is still a

respected citizen in this town. I have to

be careful not to push him around,

although I am convinced that he is

harbing this guy. Ah

Actually, catching that guy isn't

important. But the general has asked me

to get him more soldiers, and if I can't

oblige him, I might no longer be able to

run this place. He'll

kick me out. That just won't do. I have

to teach him a lesson.

This time Kane has pushed me a bit too

far. I won't stand for it.

Right. Let us pay him a visit.

Now I'm consulted on food technique, but

it might be all show. Well, you could be

right. When?Let him be.

Yes, teacher, but... But

I just wanted to practice with Conrad.

That's all. No dice. Next time, maybe.

Another day, perhaps. Never mind.

Let's teach him a lesson, then we'll do

him good.

Oh, ohh hello, sir. Good.

Well, Wayne, you see, you've still a lot

to learn. You are still a novice when

compared with your ex-- No, nonsense.

Will you teach me to do that?Sure I will.

Teacher thinks he is an

expert. Well, Wayne, don't me a

fool. Teacher's been good to you all

these years.

Forget it. Forget it.

He said I was no match. That's

not true. I fell down.

Accidentally. That's all.

Come on. You have to snap out of it. Just

forget it. Let's get on with our food.

Old teacher wants is for you to practice.

HuhI don't like this new guy. I think

he will bring trouble. Uh, come on.

Captain. Huh

Thatcher around. What do you mean?

UhMaybe he's not inside. Uh-huhHe's in

there. Just be patient. He will show

up soon. But for how much longer?

We've been waiting here for well over a

week. And we've seen no one.

We have no wine, no more. I'll tell you,

I've had it. Hey, I'm off a drink.

HuhNo, you're not. You are still under

orders. You'll do as I say.

ohh Hi. The train is running

again. I have to go to Hankow tomorrow on

business. It's urgent I keep this

appointment. Well, that's good news. We

can both take the train together. The

problem's leaving the gym.

There is no one to take care of it. I

cannot trust Wayne. He's useless. Can't

rely on him. I'd like you to stay here

for me until I arrive back.

All right. I'll take care of the gym for

you until you get back. Thanks a lot.

You're in charge now. See the students

behave. I'll leave in the morning.

Captain, is that the car we want?Umm

Not him. Don't worry, he'll be out soon.

Come

on. Come onAll

right, shake him

up. Take

him.

Wonderful.

All right, come on. Come on.

Come onYou're lucky today. That's

because I'm smart, huhIt'll be big again.

I'll show you. You

have it. Come on. All

right, you too.

You're doing it wrong. Now watch me. Come

on.

Ohh

ohh

God damnYou

see?

Yeah. Come on, gentlemen, one more show

there, see?Come on, come onCome on,

come on, come onGo on, try

again. One more time, you.

Come on, come on

Hey, you. Hey, lend me ten dollars.

I'll pay you back. We're not lending

anybody here. My teachers can't. Everyone

knows who he is. When he comes back

to town, he'll pay my debt. If you lost

your money, you can get out.

I'll make you take that back.

Open

the door! Open

the door

quick!

Bad news! Bad news! It's Wayne. He's

in trouble. Big trouble. Big trouble!

Where is he?At the casino. He's been in a

fight there, and he's losing...

Mr. Conrad! Mr. Conrad!

Mr. Conrad! It's Wayne! He's in a fight,

and he's losing! We better go home! Hold

it. To gain daughters,

we must avoid trouble. Mr.

Conrad, you must help him. You cannot let

the name of our gym down.

OK, Kane did ask me to look after the

gym. I better go and see about this

myself.

All right, you stay

here.

Gotcha. You can't get away this time.

Tie him up.

Well now, we've arrested him. He's a

troublemaker. We'll get rid of him, huh

Yes, get rid of him.

And make sure it's permanent. Oh,

if we put him in prison, you know what

that means. He will serve a life

sentence. Huh

But his crime is only small.

A mere technicality. We must make sure

he's butt away.

We can get at Jane. He's the real danger

to us.

HmmAll right, we can start by locking

this guy up for life.

Waiting. We're going for a thing.

Don't try it.

Hey, get down there, quick! Hurry!

Hey, Wayne, Wayne, Teacher's come back.

He's returning, yes. Teacher, he's just

outside. Wayne!

Here for a day, and you start causing

trouble again. Conrad's in jail, it's

your fault. I...

Mr. Mr. Kane.

You can't blame Wayne Forrest. It's

Charlie. He's deliberately framing

Conrad. Shut up!

What can I say to Conrad now?

I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do. I'm

afraid my hands are tied if you do

realize that other people decide.

Oh, but sir, you are the local

magistrate. Surely there's something you

can do. I

can make a suggestion. Maybe it

can help. Thank you very much. I'll

write a letter of introduction. You can

take it to Captain Chan at headquarters.

Perhaps he can help you. Ohh

Thank you. However,

whether he helps you all depends on what

you say. Oh, yes, I

know that. I know.

Thank you very much.

How much you want?500.

The title deed.

All right, I'll let you

have $4000, but that's all.

Oh,

all right.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank

you, children. Thank you.

Ah, thank you. Hey, Hey

you.

Oh,

you didn't

play

it. You can't take it like that, you

bastardIt's your monkey and your friend

Alice. You think you think I want it?It's

my monkey and I feed it, but I didn't ask

you. I'll only take your monkey.

Take that as well.

Hey, look, what I brought you is a little

present. Yeah, what's that then, ehWhat

do you got there?The fry. Here's

a monkey

for you.

All right, rightYeah?Up for Conrad.

Right. See ya. Okay.

All right. You're in luck.

Your sentence is reduced. It's now only

eight years.

Eight years.

That old bastard Kane is a tough nut to

crack. Master, I

know Kane's gone into debt to reduce the

sentence.

He had to spend every cent he had.

Now all he's got left is this gym.

We'll challenge him to a fight tomorrow.

All right, we'll close him down.

How shall the bastard

not to resist me?I'm going to destroy him

entirely.

What do you say?What money is

that?Mr. Cain, your pupils broke up the

casino, and therefore you have to pay

$500 damages to Charlie Meek.

Nonsense. I have no money,

and I won't give you any. Is that so?

I must take you into custody. Get him!

Get hold of it! I

dare you. Come here and make trouble.

I'm sorry. You can't blame me. If you

don't pay up, I have to arrest your man.

That's what I've been told to do.

Get him!

That's enough!

Now, come on! Go on. Get out.

Get me

out of here. Ohh You

master don't get you for this. We'll be

back.

Conrad, someone's brought you a milk.

Oh. Oh, hello, son. Uncle Conrad. Huh

What's the name of that sighting

technique?The monkey style.

Doesn't it look like it?Oh, yes, please,

can you teach me?Sure, but first you must

show me, and then I'll teach you, right?

Right, I'll show you now.

Uh-huhI'll visit it for you.

Father. Mr. Kane, how are you?Not too

good. This morning, Charles Maine's

men came round to the gym to make

trouble, and Wayne drove them away from

me. Oh, really?Sit down. Have a seat.

Father, did they hurt any of our men?They

didn't. Wayne

has brought a parcel.

Conrad. I thought you might need some

clothes.

Because of me, you're all in

trouble. And you've gone into death.

Sorry. To have been the cause of it.

Well, Conrad, you mustn't say such a

thing.

Actually, it's all my fault.

At least it's only eight years.

Otherwise... I would not have been able

to face you. Conrad,

I've been a fool. If I hadn't gone

to the casino, there would have been no

trouble. That's not at all. I cannot

blame you. I owe you. And if I can get

out of here, I promise I'll pay you back.

Please don't mention it, my friend.

Tony's my only son. I

am am worried about him.

He's very interested in learning kung fu.

Please, Please will you teach

him?

Of

course. Ah

Interest. On the loan. You must

pay it in full now. Oh.

You promised I could have an extension.

So long as I paid the interest, I'd one

more month. Yes, I did say that to

you, but my boss has just been through my

books and ordered me not to. I can't give

you any extension. What is his name?

Don't you know my boss is Charlie Ming?

Charlie Ming?

This gym no longer belongs to you.

I am going to turn it into a

casino.

Quine?We are in

debt. We have no choice but to honor it.

Father, no sweeto.

You can have the property, but not the

signboard. Wayne, take it down.

All

right, don't be sad.

Come. Practice harder.

Watch. Monkey boxing.

Hey, God damn it. What's the matter with

you stupid fools?Son of a bitchLook what

you've done to me. You've ruined my code.

I'll make you pay for it, you bumbling

idiot. I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Quick, quick. Go away, you so

careless, you idiots. Now then, go over

there. Go and serve another. Oh, I'm

sorry. Serve a seat, sir.

I'm sorry.

Tony, come here.

Be more careful what you do. Don't be so

careless next time. You'll put us out of

business. The customer's always right.

And don't you forget that. You keep your

mind on the job. Back to work. Go

on.

The monkey walk. Step

back. Head up. Stretch your arms.

Keep your head up. Turn your head. Come

on. Get up. Get up. That's it.

Play. Now concentrate. You must do it

that way. Come on.

Come onAll right. Show me what I taught

you.

Tony?What's the matter?Will you come with

me for a walk?I have no time.

Tony, stop all this talking, will you?We

have customers.

Shirley, don't keep bothering Tony like

that. Back to work.

Teacher, the boss has agreed to raise

Tony's pay.

Sumo! Baba!

Sumo! Baba!

Sumo! Baba!

Tony?Huh] Are you going off to see your

teacher?] It's still too ready. I

have to care these things first. ] Leave

it alone. Father's coming back soon.

All right. Leave it to him and I have

your counselor. ] Oh. ]

All right. Tony, you ready to go?]

I'm coming. Shirley,

I'll give you a hand when I come back.

You can tell your father I won't be.

That's all right. I'll tell her. See ya.

Come on. There

you go.

Mr. Please sit here, will you?

Mr. What would you like?Some tea and some

chocolate soup and some small plate of

sweet.

Well, now, she's a cute young thing, huh

Don't you think?Very nice.

Who is she?I guess she's the

daughter of the manager. Here's your

tea, Sir.

Take your tea.

Hey, she's pretty good, ehDon't you think

so, huh

Drink. Yeah, come on.

God damn it, the soup is cold. God damn

it. I'll get you some more, huhThis

shocks Lin's service, don't call. And the

tea is far too watery. And you're trying

to achieve it. I'm sorry. HuhHow dare you

try to... Tell your manager

to come here. The manager's not here now.

AhYou mean that there's no one in charge

here?Uh, yes.

Off you go. Please forgive him, sir. Yes,

the manager's not here. But if you have

any complaints to make... Accept our

apology. Come

here, come here.

Lady, we don't want any

trouble, but it's cold. Come

on, check for yourself.

Ohh

Wonderful, wonderful.

This is the restaurant. If you

don't come

here to eat the food and get up. What do

you

say?You tell us to

go?Hey. Hey, it's Teacher.

Ohh Teacher,

Teacher.

Glad to meet you, Mr. Charlie Meat.

Charlie, these men here are the martial

arts instructors. Hired, buddy up.

Yeah, that's right. Hello, how are

you?The army and the civilians

are part of the same family. We need your

help. Your kung fu

must be very good, otherwise

the army would not have employed you now,

would they?Sure, mister. We want to help

you. Get ready, man.

Hmm

A monkey?My teeth.

That is tighty. Right, teacher.

You created the kung fu star and combined

with father's star, we have got another

technique. Your

father waited to rebuild his

gymnasium and start again. We must

see to it his wishes come true. We'll

open a new gym, teach the students to

revenge our father. No.

First of all, to open a gym, we must tell

the other gym it's of our intention. That

is the regulation. Teacher, if

we do that, we have to visit Charles

Mee.

Uh.. Charles Mee, son of a bitchThat's

five dollars!

Aye

I recommend this place. Good food. All

right, gentlemen. What would you

like to have?A pot of tea. I thought.

Wait. Huh

Tell those two guys they're to get out. I

want that table. Charlie Means coming

here. But I can't do that. God

damn you.

Hey, I must have this table. Move out.

What's wrong?You can't tell us to go. You

must obey me right now. Now get up. What

can you do to us if I don't go, huh

You want to wait for Charlie Means to

come here?What's that?Charlie Means.

I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

going, I'm going.

Hey, where to here?Now listen to me.

Clean up the table and reserve it.

And then bring me a bottle of wine. The

best one you've got. Right there.

Sure, sureWaiter! Hey, Tony. Huh

Those two are the ones who caused all the

trouble yesterday.

Why do they throw their waiter back?

Hey, waiter! You've gone and damn well

put water in this wine. I wouldn't do

that. It's the best we've got. You

haven't drunk it yet, so how do you know

it's not been watered?You see, they're

making trouble again. Don't worry.

I'll handle it.

Hey, mister, what's the fuss?Who are you?

I'm the bookkeeper. You can

tell me, a fan of things wrong. Ohh So

you're the one in charge?Very well.

You've been watering down this here one.

That's impossible. The bottle's just been

up. How can you be so shocked?Have you

tried it?Come,

you can drink all of it. No need to.

Allow me to fetch another bottle. It's

not as easy as that. I'll

make you pay for that, you bastard

Young fella, your kung fu's very

advanced. It would be most

unseemly to have a fight with you here.

But if you're brave, come around to my

place tomorrow. I challenge you to a

duel with me. That's fine by me.

I'll be there good. I believe you're

welcome. Let's go.

Mr. Me, sir?

You're such an idiot. You should never

have agreed to go. But I had to. You

heard him challenge me to a fight.

Hey, what's going on?

Ohh You're a foolish boy. You mustn't

trust them.

What, do you want to put me out of

business?And they've influential army

friends as well. You've offended them.

That could very well put this place off

limits. Ha! Don't blame him. Those

people came here deliberately to make

trouble with us. Yesterday, they did the

same thing. I'm not blaming anyone. But

as I told you, in our business, the

customer is always, always right. You

must not pick a quarrel with them,

especially when they're powerful.

Master, I'm sorry. Really, it was all my

fault. I didn't mean to make trouble. Ah

Never mind. I would hate to see you go.

But if I keep you, my restaurant might

have to close. You better pack your

things and stay at home till it cools

down.

If anything's broken, you can deduct the

damages from my wages, if that's all

right. Ohh Don't be angry with me. I'm

forced to fire you. I understand that,

master. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll say

goodbye. Shelley,

I'm leaving.

Die. Why so sad?

What's happened?I've started up the new

gym. You quit the job when we need the

money. Sorry.

You'll have to come with us on our visit

tomorrow. I can. Why not?

I have to go back to the restaurant for a

job. Very well.

I'll have to go on my own. I'll come.

Sheryl.

I came to say sorry. Sorry

Teacher, I'm going out for a while. OK.

I must apologize for my father. He

shouldn't have fired you like that. Oh.

Your father had little alternative.

Unless he wanted his business to close.

But I feel so guilty. Isn't there

anything that I can do to help you?

Nothing. I don't want to talk about

it. It's getting late. Come on, I'll take

you home. Your father will be worried. Ah

Another thing. Are you going tomorrow to

fight them?Of course.

Did you ask your teacher if he'd go?]

No, I didn't tell him. He's just out of

prison. He mustn't get into more trouble.

] You must take

care. It'll be dangerous. ]

I can look after myself. ]

Why is life so difficult?Why are we

surrounded by criminals?

Listen, don't forget to come tomorrow.

You're really tough. Like father,

like son. I see that you've worked

really hard to perfect your kung fu

technique. But you do know who I am.

I'll be glad to accept a chance. Charlie,

I heard that they've opened up a new

gymnasium, but they did not invite you.

They've insulted you. That doesn't bother

me none. They're time

to fix them. For good.

You should invite your teacher to come

here. We must have a talk.

Yeah, that's right. Without

Charlie mean support, no one. in

this town can open a new gymnasium.

HuhEnough?

Goodbye.

Charlie, after Conrad left prison,

he developed a new technique. I've seen

it.

Send some men around there tomorrow. I

want to test out their strength and

see just how tough he really is.

We admire your skill,

Mr. Conrad.

We've come here to watch you. Speak

the truth. What do you want here?A

general has ordered every soldier to let

kung fu. And since you're an expert,

you're going to help teach them. You'll

be the official army kung fu instructor.

My door is open to civilians.

But I don't teach anyone who is armed.

You mean you're turning the armies up or

down?Army?

Don't try to intimidate me. Eight years

is a long time. We'll be good.

I refuse to join the Army. All right.

You're a stupid idiot. You pushed us too

far.

Don't try to intimidate me. We have

nothing more to say.

Get out of here.

You're throwing off, sir. We're a

paradigm in timeboat.

We'll get you

for

this, so you

better watch out. We'll be back.

Come on.

Johnny, Tony's been badly hurt.

Where is he now?He's dying at his home.

Quickly, over here.

Take care of the picture. I'll be back

soon.

I knew something would happen to us.

Since all that trouble last time, they've

now kidnapped my daughter. I just don't

understand what they want. The letter

said only teach us to come and get

Shirley, but really, I know they're after

me as well. I don't give a damn what

they're after. You've got to do something

to get my daughter back for me. Don't

worry, I'll get it back. I promise you.

I'll call myself. I'll kill every one of

them. Right. Don't waste any more time.

You had better get going.

I'm telling ya, don't be scared.

Be nice to me. Brother,

after you, a fancy call to my son, huh

Yeah, wait.

Hold it!

Charlie Mane, you son of a bitchWhy do

you take shirt?Young fella! How dare you

come here?

You have gone too far. Now

I'm gonna kill you. You have said enough!

Release her immediately!

I asked you to come here in peace for a

quiet little talk. But instead

you want to fight with me. You are

deliberately trying to close down our new

gym. She had nothing to do with it. You

must let her go free now!Oh,

you mean Shirley.

Don't worry. But

she right now, she'll be through, though,

in just a minute. You bastards don't

deserve to live. You

killed my teacher, jailed Conrad, and

raped Shirley. What-- You're frying

asshole Just calm down now and

listen to me. We came here because our

general has ordered us to learn Kung Fu.

So Konrad teach us. That's right.

All we want is to be one big happy

family. All together.

We can all become officials and

wealthy men.

What's wrong with that?Now is your

chance. That's right. You must be

joking. After all, we've been

through my father dead. We would

never chime with you. You are lower than

Vernon! What?What did you say?

Ahahahahahahaha!

Charlie, he's getting away quick.

Right. Ohh

Get out of here.

Hey.

You go there, right?

Are you all right?Quick, quick. That's

the girl.

Hi.

Tony, we're honorable men.

We should be merciful. Let him go

this time. Give him a chance to...

Charlie, leave me.

Hold it.

Hold it

there. Down on your knees.

Please forgive me. Please have mercy.

Please forgive me, please. Please have

mercy. Oh, please.

Please forgive me. ] A man like yourself,

there's also a right to live. Alive or

dead doesn't matter. You disgust me.

Tony, come on, let's go.

Ah
