The Cha family sent me to get you.

A Fistful of Talons.

Come on, let's put the braids on. Come

on, ohh come onThat's easy for me,

as I have a real one, see?That's

right. The Qing Dynasty will survive.

The emperor's edict.

It has been more than six years

since our Qing dynasty was

overthrown by the republicans.

But our people are still suffering. I am

determined to reorganize this country,

to help our people by overthrowing the

republicans. So help me to

regain opposition. Come the Republicans.

As you know, I am the captain of the

Imperial Warriors Naisin.

With my men, Lohe Sun,

Fu Kai, Cha Tai Hung,

Yat Lan Kwai,

Tai He Hung. And we've come to meet the

Counselor. Ding Wei Chung, in

order to discuss together with him the

proposals to re-establish our country.

Talk. Who the devil are you?

I know that you are not a Chung. I'm Ding

Wei Chung's subordinate. Lee Bin. We both

get here to meet you. But Ding Wei Chung

ran away and took with him the Empress

Seal and the secret documents. Every last

one. Damn it. So that bastard is

a traitor. He's a revolutionist.

Your honor, we can't let him spoil our

plan. It's our very last chance. I'm sure

he can't get far. Pass the word around.

Tell all our stations. We take him

alive.

Yeah.

Hey brother, you're a beautiful horse.

Brother, you're very lucky.

I'm giving you an absolutely first class

wash and brush up job today. You're

getting better than the others. You

should be very happy,

right?You feeling better?I'll see your

mysterious master now.

Where are you going?I'm going up to talk

to that man upstairs. And about that. He

doesn't want to be disturbed. I don't

understand that man upstairs. He's really

very strange. He sleeps all day and only

goes out late at night. What's so strange

about that?Everybody has their own

habits. Hey, Dad, look at that beautiful

horse there. Hey, is that that very fast

horse, Yufa Chung?It's a

fine horse.

I've been running this post station for

over 30 years. I've never

seen such a fine horse.

The owner of this horse is very strange.

He's really most peculiar. Stop that.

It's none of your business. Back to work.

Dad, I'm off to work now.

Hey, hey, young master, your dad said you

mustn't go up. Come on. So don't tell

him. Don't tell my

dad. Young master, don't go up there.

You'll only get into trouble.

Hey water, I've got some water for you.

Uncle, I hope I'm not bothering you.

You look, I'm all soaking wet. I

just washed your horse. I washed him from

head to toe and in between as well.

Even the droopy bits. You want to have a

look

over there. Look,

Ban Ching Yi Ming. My father owns this

here post station. Uncle, what's

your name?Well, never

mind. It doesn't really matter. I don't

want to know. Uncle, let me tell you,

when you first arrived here, I could see

it once. But you're not ordinary.

You look very mysterious. Get out!

Uncle. Give me! Get out.

I only fetched some water, you know.

Hey, sir, I'm very sorry. Please forgive

him. It's all right.

He didn't mean any harm.

Uncle, you leaving?

Don't worry, Sir. I've already fed and

groomed your horse. There's no problem

there, Sir. All right. All rightGet back

to work. Go on.

Sir. Oh, thank you. Far too

much. Take it. Hey, boss.

Things are unstable at this moment in

time. Yes. YesDon't let your son

get into any trouble. Understand.

Yes, Uncle.

Uncle, have a nice trip.

Dad, he's weird. Enough! Enough!

Ah

What are you waiting for?Put up the fire!

Dad! What's up?The fire! Oh, my God, the

fire!

That's very good!

Now

go watch out!

Hey, you bang! What are you doing upthere,

eh

Jimi, you come down here quickly. Hey,

don't let him go. I'm coming.

Uncle, I finished one for you. It's the

Republic now. So why do they wear

braids?Hey, let me tell you, there's a

lot of Manchurians here. They still wear

braids. My friend and I

cut him off when we find him. Amen.

Hey, sir, ignore him. He's just a boy.

Landlord, perhaps I've caused you

enough trouble already. Ohh This, no.

If anyone asks you about me... You'd

better tell them nothing.

Ah

Come on, if you dare...

You son of a bitch so you still secretly

keep a pigtail. I'm not a ching if I

don't have a hair braid. Bastard

Ohh

Now you cut it yourself. Well, we'll cut

it for you. Even though you cut my hair

braid now, you can't cut the hair braids

of all 5,000 soldiers. What do you mean

by that?Our troops have surrounded

Peking, and very soon we're going to

re-establish the Qing Dynasty. Rubbish!

Another five. Your pigtail.

No! We didn't hate you!

Oh

Come here. Come on, come

onCome here.

Oh.

Have a trip!

Lohey-san Phuket. Sir! You continue the

search. If there's no sign,

when you get to town,

we ask. Sir, let's go.

You must be tired. Ohh Let me take your

horse. We've got everything here, then

why?Take a bath, if you like. We

beat our horses. We have to leave again.

Still. Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir.

Welcome. Welcome. Inside, please.

You are the owner. Yes, yesHmm

Don't know him. Sure you?Sure he hasn't

been here be. Maybe he's in disguise

differently. But Sir, people ride horses

nowadays. They all travel in

motor car.

You mean?Get

up. I won't go. I won't go.

It's my fault. It's my fault.

I apologize to you. Please, ma'am. I

apologize to you. Please, ma'am. Old man,

tell me, how many sons have you?He's

my only son. Oh,

then you'd better teach him. If I haven't

stopped you, we'd both be dead by now.

Damn the Manchurians. Where are you going?

Look, I got these pigtails from the

Manchurians.

You damn fool. You. You mustn't cause

more trouble. Ohh

Dad, do you know what's happening?

People are buying Manchurian clothes and

pigtails from the store. They're saying

that they'll re-establish the Ching

Dynasty.

Oh, I see. That's why they wanted

to kill that quiet stranger.

Brother, that's a deal. I rely on you.

Remember.

AhWhat's

going on?Come on. Come on, come on

Come on, come onGet in there, get in

there.

So it turns out to be just a slip of a

kid here, huhAnd you're not scared of me,

the captain?I'm not a bandit. I'm not

scared. What are you doing here?I got

lost. You little bastardYou really have

got the goal, haven't you?You can't fight

with officers. Hey, you can't blame me. I

didn't know you. You break in here.

I defend myself. Have you come across any

bandits around here?Yeah, three of them.

Where?Where out?They've gone. In which

direction?They went in that direction.

It had better be true. Quick, quick. Come

on. Right, OK. Come on, then. Come on.

Come onCome onUp

there.

Hi there. Not at all.

I only know one thing. This is a chance

to make you leave.

Remember you told me before they came

that there's a price on your head?

$30 each. Three by

three is 9, so that makes

90. That'll pay for my trip.

They've got

the bandits!

Where's the captain?The captain has gone

out. Bandits?I've

caught all of them. So then,

I assure you, you'll have no trouble in

the future. Dad.

Dad.

What's all this about?How could he have

got all the bandits?

That bastard has tricked me. He seems to

be quite a nice young man. Dad.

He caught those three all by himself.

He's not that at all.

You haven't complimented anybody before.

Dad. I'm going

back home now.

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, come on out of the way. Move, move.

Mr. Ma.

Ohh You

bastardYou've caused me endless

troubles.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Please. Come on, put them in the cages.

Get them in there. Come on, over there.

You are guilty of giving me incorrect

information. You know that, don't you?I

won't take the reward. That all right,

then?So you treat it as a donation. Use

it to build schools. Is that OK?Hey,

I'm off. Huh

Hey, Hey let's talk about it. Are you

going home now?

I'm a traveler. Come on, you seem to be a

smart guy. Why don't you stay around here

and work together with me?I'd like to

give you an opportunity.

Hey, you'd be very stupid not to take up

this chance.

You think so?You'd be

patient. You'll like it.

You'll be appointed as assistant to the

security captain and you'll have power.

Also, you'll earn $300.00 every month.

And then you'll become very rich. And all

in this house as well. What do you think

of that?That sounds too good.

So what's the catch then?

What is it?I want you to

get married to my daughter. You're

joking. I'm serious.

I need time to think about this. Hmm

We'll talk it over at dinner then.

Come on. You want to escape.

Nonsense. I can't sleep, so I came out

to take a walk. I'm sorry.

I misunderstood you. Not at all.

Ah, the eagles here. Hey,

they all yours?Mm-hmm

You like them?I don't know. I've

tasted almost everything, with the

exception of eagles' meat, so I can't

tell.

Hey. Mind what you say about them.

They can understand you. So you better be

careful. Come on.

Well?I don't

understand. Such a really pretty girl

like you. And you have so many Eagles.

I don't think I like that. That's

why you want to sneak out. I must

leave. I'm looking for somebody.

Sorry, I got to leave. In that case,

why do you promise to marry me in front

of all our relatives at the dinner?

What do you think you're doing?But your

father forced me to. You can't leave now

or people would laugh at me. Hey, hey,

lady. Call me Miss Ma. Hey, Miss Ma.

Please listen. Times have changed. This

is the Republic. Arranged marriages are a

thing of the past. You shouldn't listen

to your dad. It could ruin your whole

life. I know that. My father is wrong. He

has no patience. He is scared that

no one will have me because I'm so

fierce. Don't say that.

Although I don't know many girls, I

think you've got a lot

of character.

Miss Ma, we'll meet again,

if fate so decrees. Excuse me, Miss Ma,

I got to go. Hey, hey,

can't you stay here till tomorrow?I still

have to go tomorrow. But

truthfully, I don't want to see your old

man. You call my father an old man?

Not bad. Chingy Ming.

You must stay another day. I want you to

be explained to all my folks, so it'll be

clear to them. Well, that's yourbusiness.

Dingwai Chong, you're wasting your

energy. Every road is the same

because everyone will lead you to hell.

Bo Hey Sun, Fu Kay, take my

advice and don't be so

damn pig-headed. The Chingmen.

Your troop consists of fighters and all,

but you still can't control the whole

populace. So I'd say your

plot is doomed to fail. That's not our

concern. It's our government's

affair. Our only aim

is to capture you and take

back the Emperor's seal. Try it. All I

got is my life. Come and take it.

Ah

ah

Where's my horse?You find some. Come

on, man, tell me. Where'd you get this

horse?It's not your business. I'll sell

it if the price is good, or I'll find

someone else instead. It's difficult to

give a prize. I don't know.

Forget it.

Right. Come. Come on.

I'll give you a prize.

That's nothing. Forget it. No way. It's

my last prize. It's impossible to give

you more than that. It's not a good

horse. It's OK, but it's not worth it. No

way. Listen, listen, you can make a deal,

but look around the marketplace. You see

any horses?There's better horses. It's

not that good. Tell you what.

I can't give you much. It's come up on

your price a little and you can have it,

but I can't give it away. I'm not crazy.

Otherwise, forget it. No. No, that's

impossible. I'll try it again. I'll

give you a good price for this horse. Is

that okay, huhThat had a deal. Hey.

What do you want?No need to waste your

time. There's no deal between you. What

is that?Whatever. You said why?Listen.

Let go of me.

You stole this horse. No, I didn't steal

it. Yeah. Talk. Yeah. Yes. All right.

I stole it. You heard that. All

right. Now you know. What are you going

to do about it?So this is really a stolen

horse. Do you realize

what the punishment is?The horse thieving?

I know. I know that. First of all, they

give 50 lashes and then they will

proceed. To break your leg and your arms

so you won't steal again. And then you'll

be finished. Well, I ain't scared.

Run. Where can you run to now?

I I'll give you half my share, OK?I

don't want money. I want the horse. Tell

me where his master is. He he he was at

the big river. Follow them. I'll tell Mr.

Nye.

I remember it well. It's just further

down there. Your Your friend against two,

just him. He must be a very good fighter.

Where is it now?Hey, you try

to fool me. Uh I didn't lie to you. I

swear to you, on my mother's life, if I

little bandit lied to you, then I'll cut

off my own tongue, I promise I wouldn't

lie.

Hey man, you're not a local in these

parts, So what are you doing here?

I came to bury your friends bodies.

What's your connection to Ding Wai Chung?

That's very complicated. His father and

my dad are sworn brothers, and my

father's more sworn than he is. Also,

you see. Speak up.

Where's Chung hiding now?You want to know?

Come with me. Come along. Let's go. It's

nothing to do with.

I can't do it.

You're a great man. You're an exalted

personage. I dare not. Am I stronger than

he, Sir?Oh, he

has a Buddha for his

protection. Sir, if

anybody dares to invoke superstitions,

they will be executed no matter who they

are.

Master! Huh

Hey.

HeyGo and eat something before you go.

Where are you rushing to?

Please, come on, eat up. Hey, come on.

What does this mean?Hey, you know what I

mean. I put these posters everywhere

just to catch you, Chingy Ming.

What have I done wrong?You gave false

information about those bandits.

You've done this out of spite.

We better not meet again.

Stop it.

Uncle, please don't hurt him. Damn it.

You dare fight with officials?Get him.

Chi Ming, will you please stop?

Why should I stop?Think they can stop me?

Ohh

you can tell them, if they don't quit,

then I'll really get rough.

Go on, go on.

You fat Chung, I know you must be very

tired. But hell, I'm just as

tired as you are, you know

Look, I know, you're a very fine horse.

You wanna stop, or are you saying that

your master's near here?That right?

There's a cave. Yu Fachung, let's look.

Get up!

Uncle Ding, it's really you. So I found

you at last. Shut up.

I don't know you at all. Get out of here.

Now please don't get so angry. Everybody

seems to be looking for you. So I try to

find out why. How did you know I was

hiding in the southern temple?

Because you got such a good horse, he

brought me here. Ah,

now everything is clear. It was you that

stole my horse. Hey, I went to a lot of

trouble to get your horse back for you.

Anyway, that's a long story. I got it

back, finally, from a little bandit.

Hey, sit down. I'll tell you all about

it. I don't want to know anything about

it. Just leave the horse and go.

Hey, that's funny. You want me to leave?

Not so fast. I'll leave the horse. You

give me a hundred dollars. That a deal?

You bat! Please show some respect. I

respect you. I call you uncle, so

you call me Chingy Mi. You'd better leave

now. Do as I say. Me leave?

You'll have to kill me. No other way. I

won't kill you. I don't want to be a

murderer. Hmm You won't

go. I'll go. Uncle, please don't

go. I'll come with you. Uncle Ding,

Damn it. Why are you so difficult?

I can see I must teach you a damn good

lesson. Hey,

what are you doing?Hang on.

Hey, hang up. Come on.

What are you doing?You can't stop it. Let

me go. Go me.

You can't do this. Put me down.

Hey! Where are

you going?Oh,

William. You're nothing but a big mouth.

You're no good. Now you listen.

You want to play the big hero, then you

just stay up there. Now then,

you behave yourself. Learn a little

humility. Think it over.

It's entirely up to you.

William is not me. I'd rather die and be

humiliated like this. Deng Wai Chong,

I misjudged you. You got no feelings at

all. You ain't a human being.

No, the Emperor's warriors. I've got to

kill both of us. We're in the same boat.

Understand. And you treat me

like this. I shouldn't have come,

Uncle D. please believe me look I

want to help you I want to help

you're useless to me

so train me

why should I train you

because two is much better than one

And anyway, I'm really curious

and I admire you. Oh, really. I

mean it.

Listen to me. If you can find those two

guys for me, I'll give you a hundred

dollars. Well, there's a

rule in our trade, 50%

in advance. Fifty?Hmm

Here, take this. HuhYou got

the money. Now produce.

I can go now. Go?

But I may not come back. Go on.

As swift as the wind, as dense as the

forest, as wild as the fire,

as calm as a lake, strike like thunder.

Envelope like darkness. Full quotes from

his Art of War. Although Sun Tzu's

Art of War was a book sheet, but I think

that it can also be applied to an

individual fighting man.

So you have got to bear in mind that

wind, forest, fire and lake are

the key points for defeating yourenemies.

Do you mean if I can remember those 6

words, then I can defeat my enemies?

Things are not quite as simple as you

make out. So teach me how to use this

then. As swift as the wind really means

speed. So move,

especially when your enemy is your equal.

Understand. Yeah, that's very basic,

right?What's that?You

want to play games now?

Let's just see whether you can take away

this piece of rock from me. That's easy.

Uh, just like this,

right?Come on, then. You ready?

Watch out. Watch. That

was fast. Fast.

And now let me try, OK?

Uncle, now you see, I'm not so simple.

My boy, you got the wrong one. Your

stone's here. Huh

That was nothing. It was just an example

as wild as fire.

It means you must attack your enemy as

fierce as a fire. You must attack their

vital parts. Got to kill him with one

strike. Uncle Ding, tell me something.

How can I deal with the Emperor's men?

Their Kung Fu skills are very special.

Can you please tell me?

Uncle Dane, are you scared of thesepeople?

You have got to use tactics to deal with

nice in. What you have to try to do

is to set a trap and make him fall into

it. The big problem that we

have is how to keep away

from his specially armored legs.

From now on you learn endurance.

That's if you intend to survive.

Do

you want to survive or not?Then you've

got to be able to take this. I've told

you, we have absolutely got to

emptying skill. You've got to stand up to

this or you're never going to get near

him. Get up.

Uncle. I'm really exhausted.

I can't go anymore.

Ohh

Stop now. Please stop now.

I'll go home if you go home. What did you

say?

Your wound's open. Let's have a rest. Hey,

hey, heyWhere are you going?

I've come to get the reward. Let him come

in. HuhRight.

Go in.

Hey, boss. About the reward to catch

Ching-Yi Ming. Can

you please tell me if it's still open?

It is. Good. In

three days' time, I'll fetch him here and

claim the reward.

Uncle, I'll be back in a minute. Uh, you

are. Hey,

move aside, move aside. Hey, wait a

minute. Me?Yeah, hang on a

minute. You mean me?Yeah, I mean you.

You really want me?That's right. We must

talk. Let's go somewhere private. All

right.

OK, talk. Listen. It was me

for the reward. And it's me who wants to

get Chingy. I'll try my best to find him,

but I can't guarantee results. Well,

sooner or later, my Eagles will

find him if you can't find him.

Eagles.

Well, you see?That's fancy.

Huh

Hey! Eat it!

Uncle?Too badly. But that was a real

hard one. I'm very sorry. I just can't

stop when I'm really going. But that's

quite right. Never retreat or you'll die.

ohh Really enjoyed this evening.

Yeah, not bad.

Really. You've made good progress.

Thank you.

Hey, Uncle, ever tried eagle?No, I

never have. Right. Tonight I'll be the

host. You'll be having eagle's meat

and eagle's soup.

You won't squawk much longer. Just wait.

Hold it!

It's not that. You haven't asked its

owner yet. Not you again.

Ohh

Eagle, you're really smart. So you

finally found him. You've caused me

disaster. You left me behind and the

Manchurians got hold of me and tortured

me. Good thing I'd be dead by now. Shut

up. Why'd you bring her?Me?It's her.

I paid this guy some money to travel

along with me. Hey, what are you?Why are

you following me?Hey, to settle our

marriage, of course. What?You won't get

rid of me unless we settle this matter.

Hey, you lucky guy. Tell me what's the

secret. That such a pretty girl will

follow you. Come on, tell me. Tell meOh,

please, tell me. It'll matter.

You want to know?

I'll teach you how.

Why do you slap my face all the time?To

keep your nose out of other people's

business.

Who's he?That horse you stole. It's his.

Also, as I told you before,

that I was looking for a man. Well,

that's him. Ding me Chung.

Now allow me to explain.

Qing Dynasty. Are determined to regain

their power. They

disregard the fact that the

Revolutionists are doing a really fine

job for our country. So I decided

that I would have to expose their whole

filthy, rotten plot to all the

Revolutionists, as we've been together

for quite some time. I think

I can trust you and tell you the story.

Remember, no matter what the

circumstances are. You must get

these documents safely to Guang Chao

for me. Don't worry. I'll make sure that

Sun Yat-sen gets them. Oh, no, I mean

Mr. Sun.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Oh, this sells for wounds.

After him! Don't let him go!

I think that it's about time the little

bandit got himself back here.

And he won't be coming here on his own.

You're damn right. He'll be coming here

with the whole of the Qing army.

Impossible. Little Bandit would never

betray us. HuhAre you so sure?That's

enough of that. Mr. Ding.

Come on, dude. Mr. Ding.

BastardWhoa.

Tramacan, you bastardYou're

still wearing that damn pigtail. You shut

up. Is he Ding Wei Chung?That's right.

And what do you want?Right. Gab!

Ohh

Don't chase it.

Little Bandit. Little Bandit.

Mr. Ding, this medicine is for

both internal...

internal and external use.

Remember, boil it with three bowls of

water. You can repeat it

often. Ohh

ohh Little bandit!

A man's life can be worth something or

nothing at all. This

little bandit may have been nothing more

than a common thief, but nevertheless,

he gave up his life in trying to save

others. It doesn't matter what he did in

the past. He finally turned out to have a

heart of gold. He was truly a man of

spirit. Poor little bandit.

I hope you'll bless us all. We'll

avenge you.

Uncle Ding. Ini and I have thought about

it. We decided to stay with you. No, you

won't. No more are going to die for me.

Our friendship stops here and both of

you will leave for the morning.

Uncle Ding. That's enough said. You must

get out of here. We won't. We'll all go

together. Uncle Ding, you taught me

before. We can

find light in the dark. There's no shore

of win or lose. You said that. We must be

resolute. Right. I'll

go.

Captain, there he is over there.

Ding Wei Chung, you will not escape this

time. You're right. Don't be too certain.

This is a trap. I'm sure that isn't Ding

Wei Chung. Captain, what do you mean?I

was told a long time ago. But

he's very familiar with war tactics.

This is a classical move. He is just

trying to separate us. But

theory alone is useless. All right, then.

We split up. You two go after Dingwai

Chung. We go to Southern Temple. Right.

There he is.

So he's playing hide and seek with us.

Let's go. Huh

It's a goddamn girl.

You there?Who the hell are you?No need

to ask. That bastard Dingwai Chung's

fooled us. But still,

this is unexpected luck. What do you mean?

Tell you frankly, I haven't had a woman

in the last three months. Go up here.

Come on, if you're a man. Hey,

brother, did you hear that?She's calling

me up there.

Ohh

Get

back.

Miss Ma, now I see these warriors aren't

so good. Hey, you listen.

Our time is very precious.

We don't intend to waste him at you.

Ding. Why do you want to betray us?

Why?Why steal our documents and the

Emperor's seal?You

want to join the revolutionists and spoil

our plan?I will spare you

if you'll return them. No, never.

Jingwei Chung. So now you know

You should never have done this.

Hey, come on. Give me the documents.

HuhGive them back. I've got

nothing. Kill him!

Hold

it! Bastard it's you! Uncle

Dang!Uncle Ding.

Uncle Ding.

Be careful of Nyson's legs. Right.

RightJust you come

and try it.

Come on.

Come onCome on

Come on

Hot! Hot!

Hot! Hot!

Hot!Khat! Khat!

Khat!

Nizma.

You try to get behind Nisin's

back, but you mustn't fight with him.

Assume an attack position, but do not

attack him. Just try to divert his

attention.

yeah

You bitch

Come back

here.
