I'm sorry.

Hey there. Hey. And

now we turn to the international news.

According to well informed sources,

international drug traffickers have

recently hired the notorious Cairo family

about a campaign of terror directed at

Drug Enforcement agents in a bid to

avenge recent setbacks. Sources in

Interpol admit the deaths in Paris,

Hamburg, and in London of police

officials concerned with drug enforcement

may be the work of the Caro family. The

ruthless assassins have so far eluded

police and all attempts to trace them.

Today, however, they met their first

setback in Hong Kong, apparently defeated

by Chinese kung fu when the film star

Wong Lei came to the aid of an Interpol

agent who was attacked. Besides acting,

Wong is also an expert at kung fu.

Observers here say that the Karo family

is...

Danny, why wasn't I informed of this?The

whole thing was just an accident. No!

There are no accidents in the Karofamily.

Our people in Hong Kong tell me he'll

never leave the hospital alive. What

about the Chinese guy?He's still in Hong

Kong?

Hello?Carl, Michael here.

Mr. Michael, I know what you're going to

say. Mr. Carl,

according to the terms of our contract,

you were supposed to send that bastard

straight to hell, not to a hospital room

in Hong Kong, but treat for the bruises.

Well, don't worry. I'll pay you the money

that we agreed upon. It was worth it to

find out your men are not a match for a

lone Chinese. You've proved the

superiority of Chinese kung fu. No, No

noThank you, thank you. You know my rule.

Whenever the customer is not satisfied

with a contract, then we refuse to accept

the payment. That's all right. I wasn't

the same. Oh, Mr. Michael, for the sake

of our good relationship, as well as for

my family's reputation, when we collect

payment, you'll get that Chinese bunk's

head on a plate.

Can he?Yeah?We'll ask him to come to Rome

and make a movie for us. It won't be

easy. He's called the little godfather of

Hong Kong. Oh.

Then send someone to Contact Based Film

Company. Tell them we want him for a

movie here, and we'll pay him top price

to star in our film. The title

is The Last of Kung Fu.

Hey, these Islamian reporters know about

as much about me as the Chinese do. Huh

Hey, Mr. Wong, you tell a

reason. If you're Friday,

we'll... Mr. Wong is

very tired now. He'll answer all your

questions. All right, come on. One

way! One way! One way!

Brother! Brother! I came as soon

as I got your cable. Well, I'm sorry, but

it was kind of sudden. I'm surprised that

you agreed to come here. They offered me

a good deal. But the truth is, I wanted

to see you. Get in the

car. I'll take you home. Right.

Mr. Hans, I will be staying with my

brother here. I will phone you tomorrow

morning. OK, let's go. Hey, ciao! Bye!

Bye!

Rome is beautiful. There are many

interesting things to see. Every column,

every ruined wall has a history of its

own. It's

fantastic. Hey! Rome is so big!

Of course! Because Rome was not built in

a day!

You'll stay at my house tonight, then

leave Rome tomorrow. HuhWhy's that?As the

trouble you caused them in Hong Kong?

Don't you know your life's in danger here?

Hey, but I didn't even know who they

were. That won't make any difference to

the Caro family. You'll go home tomorrow.

Ah Hold

on.

Carl is a notorious professional killer

and his three sons are even worse than he

is. Canny, the youngest

one, is his real son and the other two

are adopted. Now Duke is the

son of a top Nazi and Sakata is

Japanese. And his father was

an army officer in the Pacific War. He

and Duke are orphans. And Caro

adopted them when they were still very

young boys. I didn't know that I had

crossed them. The papers ran your photo

the last couple of days. I've been hoping

you wouldn't come. And now here you are.

Uncle, let it stay a while. Hey, you

can show us the Colosseum. I'm sure they

can't be as bad as you say they are. Hey,

I don't want trouble, brother, but I have

signed a contract. If I quit, they'll

take me off to court. I'll handle that

for you. No matter what, you fly

home tomorrow.

I'm sure that you're both tired. You'd

better go to bed. Mm-hmm

You two can use my bedroom. You'll be

more comfortable. I'll sleep in the guest

room. Hey, uncle. Before we leave,

can we at least go see the calcium first?

HmmGo to bed. We'll talk later.

Stone, get up. Get up.

Don't you want to see the Coliseum?Hurry

up! Go home, wake Uncle up.

Ah

This is the way back to Hong Kong.

No.

Brother, I won't leave.

I'm staying. Kung fu

expert Mr. Wong Lei in a narrow escape.

Killers stab Wong's brother 18 times.

Wong turns down police pection, himself

facing death.

That company was very big. It's the only

company that will agree to insure me.

The others don't dare. Brother, why do

you buy insurance?It may worry them a

little.

And if I'm killed, my family would get a

large sum of money. That mean you're

staying here?Stone, if somebody had

stabbed me 18 times, what would you be

doing?Find him and stab him 1800 times.

Well, someone stabbed my brother 18

times. Tell me, what should I do now?

Avenge him. Right. Stone,

I'll take you back to Hong Kong first.

It's too dangerous here. Butter. Huh

Don't underestimate me. I am not soft

like mud. I'm hard as stones. With you

here, I'd be all alone and wrong. I'm not

going back. Hey, come on, get up. I'm not

going. I'm only. Hey, come on, you'll

make the foreigners think you're all

Friday. I'm only, no. Come on, get up.

Right, you can't stay here. Get up now.

We'll go to the Coliseum.

Thank you.

Hey Stone, this way! Uh

What's

the name of this place?This is the Roman

Colosseum. It's about 2,000 years

old. It's that old?Hey, look over there!

There's a cat. Hey, it's taking a bath.

We lost you. Usually, a crowded place is

the safest place to be. It's a good

rule. You'd do well to remember, mister.

Hey, you mind taking a picture of me and

my wife?Oh, a picture?Yeah. Come

on. Move a bit closer. Would you move

closer, please?Would you move further

back, please?I'd like the coliseum to

show. HuhHuh

Move further, a little bit more.

HuhOkay.

That's all right.

Hold it.

Wadley, throw it away, throw it away,

quick! Quick!

Thanks for saving my life, but what is

your name?All my friends call me Ivy.

I'm with the insurance company. I've been

assigned to protect you. It wouldn't do

for our most important client to get

blown to pieces now, would it?

We're going to the hospital for a medical

checkup.

I assure you, there's no need for that.

Even Ted Man can't beat me, you know?He's

famous in Hong Kong. People call him the

little godfather.

Mr. Wong, you'll have to depend on more

than your strength to survive here. Well,

you've passed almost all the physical

tests. Just one more to go. Telephone,

please. The electrocardiogram. Uh-huhThis

IV, telephone, please.

What?Oh, it's probably the office.

Wait for me here, will you?

HmmHey, I'll have to leave you too. Gotta

go to the Johns. Hmm

Mr. Wong.

Just lay down, take off your shirt.

Hey. Huh

HuhIt's my brother. Would you let him in,

please?Come in, Kate, come on, come on

HmmWow, it's hot. Sure, open these

windows.

Hey, kid, leave the windows alone. Come

and stand over here.

HmmOh. Oh. Hmm

Huh

Oh Doctor, how come your fingers are so

dirty?HuhI'll find you a pair of white

gloves, huh

Hey, little boy, go upstairs to the top

floor and ask the nurse for, um, uh, some

cotton, huhUh, okay.

Oh

It's a cotton right here. Oh?You answer

minded. Thank you, son. You're

so clever. Now, just go and stand over

there.

Hey, Don, where's Ivy?I don't know.

Ketchup time.

All this is. Please go out.

Uh.. Ward 15?

And Ward 16?

And, uh..

Brother! Here's a photo of you! Hmm

There's those! Something quick!

Please. HmmHmm

This doesn't look like a discotheque.

What's the idea?This isn't the time to be

making jokes. You're both taking the next

flight out of here for Hong Kong. You do

your dancing there. The company has

already sent you tickets and baggage to

the flight counter. HmmMr. Wong, this

way. Hmm

Hmm

This is yours.

You are even worse than the Carrows.

Look, I know the Carrow family a lot

better than you do. What's happened so

far is only the beginning. You're both

very lucky you're still alive. But you

have made them lose face and you could be

killed. I'm sorry, but it's true.

I'm not used to taking orders from

anyone. HmmCan't write me away.

Mr. Wong, I'm not worried about losing my

job if you should get hurt. That's not

the reason I want you to leave. The

company would never fire me 'cause my

father's the owner. And I'm not afraid of

the carows either. If you must know the

truth, I happen to like you both very

much. Such nice people. Shouldn't be

killed. I only wanted to protect

you. Instead, I put you both in danger.

Your attention sees. This is the final

call for... All right. Thanks a lot.

We'll go then. ]

I'll come to home from your business

kitty. It's time to get on the plane.

Well, goodbye. Goodbye, Ivy.

Hey, baby.

HmmWhat do you want from me?

You're no match for me.

I'm sure. You wouldn't dare shoot. Come

away, you hiding that bastard Hmm

Who?Huanwei. Uh,

he's up there. Huh

ohh

Come on.

How come you're not on the plane?HuhOh,

the plane sort of took off.

You're the same kind of person that I am.

HmmCome,

let's go. All right.

AhHello, Kel. How are you, my friend?How

are you?Uh, please. Uh,

ah thank you.

Carol. HuhI'd like to talk to you in

private. Oh. Anything you

have to say can be said here.

Carol, my company assures a certain man.

Oh, I've heard about it. He's a Chinese

filster. Ah, let him leave Italy before

killing him.

He will be dead in two days.

Carol. You know how hard I've

worked to build up my position and gain

Michael's trust. I just recently gained

control of the 20th Century Insurance

Corporation. Now if I insure him, I'll be

stuck with a big claim. If I know, people

will say I'm afraid to insure him.

What's so bad about that?Insurance

companies shouldn't lose money. The

money's not important. It's my position

I'm worried about. You've put me in a

tough spot. I'm so sorry, but I cannot

help you.

I'd like to remind you that you are also

working for Michael. I've nothing to do

with insurance. But we're both being paid

by Michael. Ah, Michael and I have our

own business. Dirty business!

Hey, Joe, I'll try and forget that I

heard what you just said. Caro, you're

pushing me too far.

Watch out, young man. Please, put your

gun away. The guests of Caro aren't

permitted to carry guns with them.

Come on, put your gun away. Otherwise,

you might regret it.

Ohh

You've got a nice pistol there.

Let's go.

A giant panda from China. How did it get

here?

oh It's me. Hey,

what a surprise. Come in. Please, come

in. Watch out,

Stone.

In here.

This is for you. For me?

Thank you. It's over $6, isn't it?

One moment. close your eyes a second.

All right, you

can open your eyes now.

Wow!

Hey! Hey

Hey Ohh Hey

ah

Tell me, what do you think of your new

home?It's been empty a long time. Very

nice. Thanks a lot. But it-- it

seems a little big just for us. He wants

you to move in with us. You shut up. Go

and play with your bear. I'll

go upstairs and play with it then.

What?

I won't be coming with you again, Mongli.

Why is that?I'm sorry. The company

decided to cancel your insurance. Oh?

And I'm sure you know the reason why. Huh

Ivy, it really doesn't matter.

In the beginning, I felt that I had no

choice in this affair. I wanted to

insure myself so that

I could avenge my brother and protect

Stone.

I asked my father to give me two days

off, but he won't allow it.

Why did you do that?I want to

protect

you. You protect me?

Stop laughing. Mangle is not

funny. Tara said that you'll be dead

within the next two days. And he always

does just what he says he will.

Stop laughing. Mangle. Huh

Over there, by the wall.

Wong Lei?You believe what I said now?That

Kara can kill you anytime he wants?

Heh. I can believe it now.

Just suppose that you had a gun now.

Would you kill me?I wouldn't. Why is

that?Because

you saved me.

I was only joking with you. I hope you'll

be careful from now on.

I'll leave the gun. Take care of

yourself. I'm leaving now.

I'll remember, Ivy.

You will need this more than I will.

There is a Chinese saying. It

goes, Strong men don't fear.

We also have a saying. When

in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Goodbye, Wang Lei. Goodbye, Ivy.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Yes?Mr. Hans. Oh, outdoor shooting

tomorrow. That's

it, that's the way... All

right, that's the way those are. Okay.

You want to pull out, huh

That should be... And we

go from close eyes,

and then we...

All right, we'll do it. All right, I

figured. Yeah, okay.

OkayI'm on a full wide. All right. Hey,

let's have some fun with the Chinese kid.

Tricky shot. Ohh

Yeah, well, you know that. Again?

How about giving us a kung fu

demonstration?Hey, you use your kung fu

for beating up poor women and children?

Chinese look funny. They're like fish out

of water. Chinese kung fu. Looks just

like a bantam rooster doing shadowboxing.

Ah

Hey, kid, would you like to fight a real

man?

Hey, boy. Say, you want me to find a

chair for you to stand on?

I'm sorry, gentlemen. Would you mind

waiting till I finish work, and then

we'll talk. Oh, he's scared. The

kid's yo. He's right. The kid's

scared. Oh, wait, let's go.

Those are Russian. They're good fighters.

HmmLeave them

alone. AhHey, son.

Did your mommy teach you to do this, kung

fu?

What's that?

Hey, hey, let me go! Hey, don't get

along, huhLeave the kid alone, huh

Hey, hey, hey, hey Come on, he's only a

little boy. Umm

All right. You can try me.

I'll take you both at one time.

The Russian fighting style is funny. They

look just like a couple of fish out of

water, wouldn't you say?

Mother, shouldn't let me fight them. I

would have broke both their legs and

knocked all their teeth down their

throat. You better be careful. Those are

tough customers.

Hey, go and take a bath.

I twist your big nose every day. One of

these days, I bet I twist it right off. Ah

I'll hold you right after I've cleanedup.

oh

Yes, who's there?

Father, for you. Oh.

Yes, Carol here. This is Michael. I'm

counting on you doing a quick and clean

job. Your payment is ready to be picked

up now. I told you that we don't expect

to be paid until the job is quite

completed. I will send someone round to

pick it up tomorrow. You'll read the

results in tonight's paper.

You should trust me. I'm sure I could

handle it. Father, how about

I take over?

I agree. You'll

be perfect for it, because you understand

Orientals. But, son...

You should understand my thinking here. I

want Canny to prove himself.

Hello. I'd like to speak to Wong Lei. Oh,

Wong Lei. Wong Lei.

A phone call for you. Coming.

Thanks. It's for you. Hello?

Are you Wong Lei?Speaking. Wong

Lei, you want to find out who it was that

killed your brother?Of course.

Who are you?Never mind that.

What day of the week is it?It's

Sunday. So what?

Very good. If you want the

information, then you must come to St.

Peter's Square alone at 12 o'clock.

You'll be there?OK.

Brother, you must not go there. It might

be a trap. I'm going to go, even if

it is. There's always the chance that

he's telling the truth.

Hello.

Talk. Who is the man that killed my

brother?Tell me and I'll let you go.

It's me. It's you?

HuhYou can't even shoot straight. You are

nothing but a flunky. I want the big

man.

All right. Go back and tell him to meet

me here tomorrow.

The bullets are here.

Dinner's ready. HuhOh, dinner's

ready.

My children, let's go inside and have

dinner.

Let's go eat now.

Come on, boys, let's sit down.

Please sit.

Mary, I'll take my food here. I'll sit

here from now on. Sir.

My son, stop crying. Sit down.

Sit down and eat now.

He looked very much like his mother, and

his temper was like hers too.

I remember the time he strangled a black

cat. He was only four years old.

When he was 10 years old, he killed 2

Negro kids. When he came back home

again, he was as calm as if nothing had

happened. I knew then

that he'd be the kind of son I could be

proud of if he had a defect.

It was that he was too reserved. Once

decided,

nothing changed him. I thought he would

end this way. Because that is the nature

of our profession.

My children, please forgive me if I was

partial to them. Because Canny

was my natural son.

Arthur, excuse me for a while. I will not

be long.

Long Lei. HmmI kept thinking you would

ask me for a day before, and I finally

had to ask you. We didn't

know each other. Do you always take

so long?A friend of mine told me that

Chinese men are cool outside but hot

inside. Don't

believe everything you hear. Uh, uh,

excuse me. Oh, the washer is

right over there.

HmmCome in. Please.

Huh

Please

Come

on, let's go.

Oh

ohh Throw the gown on the ground!

You want your lady friend to lift?You

better put down the gun! I'll count to

three! One lay! One

lay! One lay!

One!

oh

Come. Get lost.

Ivy. Lucky you were here. Thanks a lot.

I've never been so scared in my night.

She's my co-star in the film, Lily. This

is Ivy.

How very convenient. You said you'd take

care of yourself. I see what you meant

now. Sorry if I interrupted your fun.

Ivy. You can save your breath. I have to

go. Ivy!

Ivy! Ivy!

Cut! Cut! We do another take,

huhAll right. RightAnd how many feet do

we shoot, huh

What is the take,

huhAll right,

rightEverybody stand by for the shooting.

Come on. Ready. All right.

All right Camera!

Cut, cut, cut! Why didn't you fall down

and let him shoot you?HuhIf I went down

and let him shoot me, I'd never get up

again. Speak up. Who told you to put

light shells in a gun?

HmmMr. Duke! Ah

yeah

Huh

Oh, shit

oh

Who was it told you I was staying here?No

one told me. I found it out by myself.

You don't seem too glad to see me.

Joan saw me showering. He turned red and

ran out.

I don't think you will run out, huh

Come out of there and put some clotheson.

Why'd he come here anyway?Does

there have to be a reason?

Lily, how about going out for a drive?

Come, Rio. I'll show you my favorite

place. It's beautiful there. I think it's

the best view in Rome. Whenever I'm here,

I can forget all my trunk. It's over

there.

Wow. It just looks beautiful.

It's possible to see all of Rome from

here. Well, how do you like it?

Longley, I can tell you're worried.

That's why I brought you here so you

could talk if you want.

Didn't you sleep well last night?

Lily, do you know how much longer till

the shooting's finished?Uh, I have no

idea. The director says that we have at

least one more month to go. Hey, you

starting to get homesick?Hmm

I'm ready to go home. I've

had my revenge. I

think you won't be leaving here even if

the shooting has finished. Why is that?

'Cause by that time,

I won't let you go without me.

Cigarette?Hey, you know that I don't

smoke. Well, you have to smoke this one.

Okay.

More for you?Uh, not just yet. I'll just

watch you.

Let's go then.

What's wrong?I'm feeling dizzy. Oh,

perhaps you're just not used to smoking.

You better write pretty soon.

Mongle! Mongle! Mongle! What's the matter?

Mongle, speak to me. Help!

Somebody help! Somebody help, please!

Mongle, Mongle!Put, speak to me, put some

that in. All

right, all right, everybody.

All right, time to decide,

huh

Hey,

I don't want him to do that. This will

only knock him out for about 8 hours.

Father wants to remove him personally

while he's still unconscious.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven, six,

five, four,

three, two, one.

No one move. I'll cut his throat at the

first move you make.

Chinaman

Do you really think that you're

intelligent enough to outsmart Carol?

You've forgotten! You're on Carol's

territory!

Won't do you any good to kill him. He

is only an employee. Huh

Huh

I want to give you a simple test.

Mr. Wong, you're much too young to die.

You shouldn't do anything rash. Huh

What kind of test?A screen

test?Cut the comedy.

All I have to do is say the word and you

will be a dead man.

You would do well to hear me out. As you

can see, your life's completely in my

hands.

But I have to admit that this situation

embarrasses me.

Baby, I am finally losing

my touch.

To get the best of my opponent,the

call of my resources,

and resulted in heavy losses.

The loss of two sons.

My whole life was devoted to them.

They would have been sitting in these two

chairs. It has been

almost 20 years.

If I was to kill you and your brother

now, it would undoubtedly give me some

satisfaction. But unfortunately,

it would not bring me back my dead

children.

Mr. Wong, you seem to have a talent for

killing men. Imagine someone getting the

best of the carols. It's the first time

we've ever suffered such disproportionate

losses. Look at

me. Scoffer's the only son I have

left.

But then again, life has to go on,

doesn't it?I'm not about to try and learn

a new business at my age of life.

Besides, I have my reputation to think

of. I was thinking that you might

like to join forces.

Of course, Mr. Wong, you're free to

refuse my offer. But then the

alternative's not too attractive.

Think it over carefully. I am

confident that you won't refuse. You are

much too smart for that.

Is this the way?You welcome

new partners?

I'm sorry, but until I've had your

answer, we will have to carry on as we

are.

Let's say I agree. You still

wouldn't believe me.

You're right again. That's why I've

arranged a test, to see if you will keep

your worth. What is it?I've come into

possession of $2 million worth of

diamonds. Arrangements will be made to

sell them to the Hill Group. The Hill

Group has a bad reputation. They're

masters of the Doublecrofts. You'll have

to take precautions. Leave it to me.

I guarantee that I'll pull it off without

a hit.

I just pulled the old switch trick.

HmmMagnificent. That was done with real

class. You have the makings of a

professional criminal. Hmm

Where's Stone?Stone?

Ah He already returned home to wait for

you.

Stone! Stone! Stone! I'll come

back!

Hey, Stone.

Stone.

Stone, Stone. Oh

Mr. Long, you're a pretty clever guy.

But you've forgotten that you're dealing

with Carol.

Did you think he would forget that you

have killed two of his sons?

My father thanks you for helping him with

the diamonds. But

he regrets very much that you have

to die.

One way! One way! Quick,

drive me to Carol.

Afterwards.

Hey, kid! Just come over here!

Come on!I'm

waiting. We can talk about old times

together. Don't be afraid. Carol is just

an old man. He's lost his touch. He can't

keep up with a young man anymore.

You have nothing to fear. Don't be

afraid. All of Carol's sons are dead.

Carol's nothing but an old shell.

One night.

oh

Ivy, the time has not come for you to

kill him!

Ivy.

Ivy, you help me treat me!

Ah

ohh

Heidi, if you don't kill him, then you'll

have to die with him!

Monle, do you believe him?

Of course I don't.

I love you.

Ivy. Ivy.

Ivy. Ivy. Ivy. He's behind the

car.
