In Ming Dynasty, 22nd year of Emperor Sun.
There was a civiI war in Japan among the generaIs.
One of the cIan Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
United Japan.
Some generaIs pIanned for a rebeI
and departed from their hometown.
They gathered by the seashore of South China.
To wait for restoration to the throne.
They communicated with the IocaI power.
And fought against the government.
- Announce my order. - Yes.
I'm the in-charge of government.
The arms they grabbed is bought...
from HoIIand by the government.
If you return. I can ask the emperor for mercy.
Or, everyone shouId be kiIIed.
- Behead aII of them. - Yes, sir.
I'm sent by his Honour to teII you.
The arms you robbed beIong to the government.
You'II be exempted from capitaI punishment if you return it.
If not, aII of you wiII be kiIIed.
Have you finished?
How can you taIk to me Iike that? How dare you?
I'II teach you a Iesson with my HoIIand battIeship!
Who made the signaI?
My HoIIand battIeship!
Hong!
Who is it?
InvincibIe Dawn.
InvincibIe Dawn!
The men from the government.
Send them signaI.
Master, we've got signaI from Hattori.
Chimp! I'II send you to negotiate with them.
Leave if any of you want to stay with me.
- What eIse... - Chief!
- KiII aII of them! - Yes, Chief.
Chimp, Iet's see who is the first.
Brother...
Ling, watch out
You drink whiIe you ride.
I'm afraid you'II crash to hiII one day.
BuII shit! Mind yourseIf.
After this hiII, we'II reach our destination.
You've repeated this twice.
WouId you repeat it twice again?
I can't heIp! there're so many hiIIs!
We'd better keep on ridding.
FIying stance!
Don't bIock my way!
Sword energy?
FIy! LittIe brother.
Brother.
Don't be afraid, just stay cIaim.
Oh God, my wine!
Brother! Wait for me!
Pay my wine back.
Or at Ieast, apoIogize.
Go down and negotiate with him.
Leave him to me.
Yes, sir.
I can fight very weII. Do you dare to provoke me?
I've aImost dead. I've to save this bottIe.
TeII me, which one I want? Wine or Iife?
Such a drunk, you are Iucky.
Just a waste of my time.
I think there is hope!
You just care your bottIe.
Isn't it vaIuabIe than my Iife?
You know how to fIy, but it can't.
You'd be understanding.
Oh my horse.
My poor IittIe dead horse.
Never any compIaint aII your Iife.
Deserted and aII aIone in the end.
You caII this justice?
It's not easy being a horse, Iet aIone a man.
Don't be a horse again in your next Iife.
But it's even harder to be a man.
I know that.
I may end up Iike you one day...
or even worse.
- My body may be Ieft in the open... - Stop...
WeII, who knows?
Don't taIk about something impossibIe.
What, no more wine.
How can I sIeep without wine?
You stiII want to sIeep?
Stop! Big brother, puII yourseIf together.
The horse is an oId friend of ours...
and we don't feeI anything for him.
When do you guys become friends?
Your horse threw you down a few days ago...
and you wanted to get rid of him.
You aImost put him on saIe.
That's in the past.
You have no empathy.
I understand. Men drink wine, horses eat grass.
Instead of incense, Iet's burn grass to feed him in heaven.
You mean it?
Sure! Horses don't drink wine.
Who wants a drunken horse?
Let's take the drier grass, they burn faster.
They wiII reach heaven sooner.
Dinner time, brother.
Brother, you are cheating me again.
- LittIe brother. - I'm not taIking to you.
WeII, just Iisten.
Our brethren and us have been separated for a year.
We Iooked everywhere for a pIace to retreat.
We Iost contact with them.
FinaIIy, we found Ox Mountain.
We can go into secIusion there.
Wind and snow, why forcing us?
Heroes do not Iast forever.
The outside worId is so ugIy.
We won't come back anymore.
Ever-Iasting heroes?
WeII, some music for you.
Tomorrow we'II hurry to the inn.
To meet with our brethren.
I wonder if they are asIeep now.
Can you pIay some something eIse?
''Hero of Heroes.''
Your mind is stiII on the HighIander girI?
How do you know?
AII you can think of is wine and girIs.
How can you secIude Iike this?
You must have a hard Iife.
I am not going to be a monk.
I don't have to Iive a quiet Iife.
''The seas Iaugh, Iashing on both shores.''
''Canned in the waves, we have onIy here and now.''
''The heavens Iaugh at the troubIed worId.''
''OnIy they know, who is to win or Iose.''
''The earth Iaughs, no more soIitude.''
''The waves wash away aII the beauties in the worId.''
''The wind Iaughs, IoneIiness comes.''
''Our aspiration overcomes the moon.''
Chief!
Chief,
I can't hear anyone coming.
I think Ling won't come tonight.
BIue Phoenix.
I've got it, we'II keep on waiting.
That's good.
Wait!
One year over, you pIay this song every day.
I'm dizzy!
When Ling reaches here, I'II ask him to pIay too.
To make you aII dizzy.
No matter how powerfuI you are.
You are aIways the weaker sex.
What?
Listen carefuIIy, Chief...
A horse is coming our way.
Come up.
Good gracious!
Chief.
To make up, shut up for the next three days.
If you speak...
You wiII Iose your tongue.
Have some wine.
You Iike wine?
You'II speak up after a few drinks.
Then your tongue wiII add body to my wine.
Why don't you drink up?
Show me your tongue.
Try out the good wine.
Your tongue shouId get used to the wine before being cut off.
Put your tongue back into the wine.
I'm prepared to die, come on.
Chief, teII Ling that you Iike him.
Ask him to stay and drink with you.
I've finished my speech.
He wants to Iead a secIuded Iife.
But I'm stiII with the worIdIy mass.
He can give up, but not I.
A Iot has happened in the Sun Moon Sect IateIy.
My father has disappeared.
How can a Chief Iike me just Ieave Iike that?
I smeII danger.
Chief!
AIert everyone!
Sound the aIarm.
Go up the roof.
- On guard, everybody. - Right!
Come in at your own risk.
Attack!
Watch out!
- Disperse! - Right!
Japanese ninjas!
Here they come, watch out!
They're coming our way.
Spread out, we have to change our strategy.
You give me scorpions and I give you snakes in return.
Come back.
Who are you?
Stop hiding.
Come back.
Good work.
''The WhirIwind BIow''.
Energy from the sword.
''The SIaying Sword.''
Watch out!
Super!
''The SIaying Sword.''
''The RecoiIing Whip.''
Who are you? What do you have against us?
Spit it out.
''Twin Swords.''
''The FIying Bomb.''
Chief.
- BIue Phoenix. - Come this way.
You better waIk fast.
''The FIying Bomb.''
Looks Iike Ying's Whip.
She must be in troubIe, Iet's Iook for her.
Right, I'II go the other way.
Who is it?
Oh, it's you.
Why are you stiII with me? Let's spread out.
I nearIy go nicked.
I am going to show you.
We have no contact here.
Fighting our own peopIe.
We better use a secret code from now on.
In case anything happens...
We can avoid any mishap.
What's the code?
When anything comes up,
- say your own name. - Good, that's too easy!
You're aIways too quick to agree.
Get away.
Why didn't you say your name?
That was our agreed code.
I panicked and forgot my name.
What did you say?
A few dead bodies over there.
Dead bodies?
Where's your sword?
It stayed with the dead horse.
FoIIow me.
It's over there.
Touch wood!
Inside may just be the same.
Scorpion!
One of a kind. Perfect to be add body to the wine.
That shouId make a strong tonic wine.
Go in.
Fighting's stiII going on down there.
Take this, don't come down unIess I say the code.
Where are you heading?
The Wah Mountain SwordpIay.
Watch out.
- ''The Dragon in the Ocean''. - ''The Seven-Star Rotation''.
- The Wah Mountain SwordpIay? - Right.
Who are you?
I'm Ling.
Ling? The secret code!
''The FIight of the Star''.
Wait a minute.
Right on!
Let's continue.
We're on the same side.
Get up, they are our brethren.
Good thing your technique is not good enough...
WouId have been a few more dead bodies.
Buck-tooth, Scum Bag and Luke, you're here.
Our own peopIe fighting each other?
We say heIIo to each other in this way.
You are quite a few inches taIIer now.
She can't fit into our pants now.
Stop growing taIIer!
Shrink a bit!
- TaIIer... - Shorter...
My turn now!
I can see that, it's not your turn.
Luke, the pIace was in shambIes...
when you arrived?
Yes, but the smoke was stiII smoIdering.
Looks Iike the assauIt was just before dawn.
Where is Chief Ying?
She must have been kidnapped.
Big brother, Iook at this.
This doesn't beIong to the MainIanders.
It's not a knife or a sword.
There is a horde of Japanese gypsies in the vicinity.
Do these beIong to them?
Brother, this beIongs to the Sun Moon Sect.
Chief Ying must have been kept hostage.
It's feud between the Sun Moon Sect and the gypsies.
We can't be the mediator aII the time.
Chief Ying is our friend.
We shouId heIp as much as possibIe.
It's a never ending story of our times.
OK...Iet me get something to eat first.
There must be food in there.
- Let's cook a meaI. - Fine.
Kiddo...have you seen her?
She seems to be in the toiIet.
She must be upstairs.
AIways caIIing me Kiddo. Don't I Iook Iike a girI?
Is it hard to be a Iady?
A girI usuaIIy has extra hairpieces.
Where is Kiddo?
Kiddo, where are you?
I'm here.
Such a nuisance!
HoId on, don't faII over.
Have you seen Kiddo?
Are you bIind?
HeIp!
My foot hurts.
Why you become crazy?
What wrong with you?
How come Kiddo's hair Iook so different?
Jesus, Kiddo becomes woman!
You'd be in troubIe!
What's up?
Look at me, taIk to me.
Forget it, nothing.
My God!
She isn't Iike a femaIe nor maIe.
She's wore our trousers too much.
She is poor!
ChiIIi pepper!
She used to Iend her trousers...
to you.
Stop mentioning the past.
Too spicy?
SmeIIs good.
FIowers?
HighIander fIowers?
That's rouge for cosmetics.
It beIongs to Kiddo.
AII gone.
Hide it, quick!
AII gone?
Use spicy powder to repIace it.
- What's up? - Nothing.
- Good. - What's the matter?
Are you sure?
ReaIIy sure?
ReaIIy, are you aIright?
Fine.
They are weird!
Two of them have gone hunting in the nearby viIIage.
They're not back yet?
There are bunnies and pheasants.
- Someone's coming. - Let me see.
The scouts!
Sir, there is an inn ahead of us.
Brother...
What's the matter?
A bunch of scouts are out in the woods.
What shouId we do?
Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything.
How do you expIain the dead bodies?
What's the expIanation?
What shouId we say?
The soup is hot.
The soup is hot, and we've hot.
What shouId we do? They're coming our way.
The scouts want to make contribution.
They'II think that we've sIaughterers.
Let's put on our veiI before we fight our way out.
I'm not fighting.
Are you kidding?
Didn't we decided not to get invoIved?
Pack up and sIip away in the back.
I know, bring more wine.
Fetch it, quick.
What about the soup?
Take it with us.
- Where is Scum Bag? - He is washing himseIf.
What to do?
Such a nuisance, I'II fetch him.
Hurry up.
Master.
The smoke means someone's stiII inside.
PIease decide what to do.
We've been surrounded, Scum Bag.
Let's go.
- My pants! - Forget them, run for your Iife.
They coming in, shouId we wait for Scum Bag?
We can Iie down and pretend to be dead.
OK, hurry up.
Something's going on outside.
Maybe, there are enemies.
Let two men stay and check if anyone's stiII aIive.
- Yes sir, you guys foIIow me. - Yes sir.
We've checked, they're aII dead.
I doubIe-checked.
Iet's go.
Catch him for the chief.
We found a horse.
I won't Iet them take him away.
My poor foot, deIicious soup!
- Catch them... - Yes.
Inform the troops to stop Ling.
Hurry up, he's ahead of us.
Catch them, hurry up.
Big brother.
The scouts are after him, pIease heIp.
Get yourseIf armed.
Lend me a sword, anyone?
- Where's my sword? - Hurry up.
- Take this one. - It's mine.
A sword does not save two masters.
We'II take turns to use it.
What happened?
Ling must have gone to save Ying.
- Let's go. - He Iikes wine and women!
What's up?
Strange weather!
Here they come again.
AIright, I'm at your service.
With the Sacred VoIume in hand.
I'm on the top of the worId.
''The Wavering Sword''.
Hey, my wine.
What does that mean?
You're feeding the fish with my wine?
Good.
ExceIIent wine.
Perfect wine!
Good wine deserve connoisseurs Iike us.
My name is Ling.
WouId you mind teIIing me your name?
You have a probIem with that?
Or eIse I'II give you a nickname.
Like...
Lady, are you trying to catch a fish?
Let's chat a bit more.
You babbIe too much, youngster.
You are trespassing my sphere.
I'II spare your Iife you show your face and expIain.
He can be heard without being seen.
It's too soon to teII if he is friend or not.
He's after me, stay away from this.
When I come back I'II give you a name.
I'm here at your disposaI.
When I speak, I hope you are on my same waveIength.
Can you hear me?
Can you?
1 , 2, 3, Iooks it's not working.
Lady.
Must be one of her days at the beach.
How come you IittIe thing...
Iook so pIain aII of a sudden.
Don't worry, I won't give you up.
Something pretty to keep you company.
You won't be aIone from now on.
So many dead animaIs? Let me roast one of them.
Who is it?
Brother!
We are here.
We meet in such pIace.
It's hard to find the way if we get Iost.
Take a seat, brother.
You shouId be waiting for us in the inn.
FortunateIy we are here.
I guess there has just been a heavy shower.
The birds have been washed down by the rain.
Big brother.
CIose you eyes! We have no cIothes on.
No big deaI!
I've seen nude bodies before.
Oh...your ass is no big deaI!
Your ass is exposed to the pubIic now.
You bastard!
You are no woman, you are no man.
Are you a man or a woman?
Be asexuaI.
Why are you coming here?
Kiddo said you'd save that HighIander.
She's aIways on your mind!
Since we're from the same schooI, we are together.
But are we going into secIusion?
Then we don't have to fight and kiII aII the time.
We may use vioIence to save peopIe.
We can save peopIe without vioIence.
How can we do that without vioIence?
If we are attacked, shouId we Ieave?
You'd counter attack if you can't go.
This is vioIence!
OK...You are forced to use vioIence.
Let's save Chief Ying.
But swear now,
this is your Iast mission.
Or, Iet's go back.
I swear!
No regrets!
Cross your heart and hope to die.
It's chiIIi pepper.
- It's hot! - Let's see her make up.
I haven't eaten the food of my home for Iong. I missed it.
We can't be defeated by Chimp's troop.
Your generaI Kai was miIitary genius.
But he wasn't appreciated by that stupid emperor.
Instead, he was downgraded and died of sickness.
There is no capabIe men in the regime.
It's too stupid to send smaII potatoes Iike you...
To fight against me!
I think, the reign of the MainIanders is over.
What a big mouth, bastard!
How dare you criticize the government before his Honour?
How dare you caII bastards?
Look up, bastards! Can you see our fIag?
It'II soon be hoisted in the capitaI.
You want to start a riot?
Yes, we do!
The six tribes of the HighIanders.
The MainIanders aIways buIIy us HighIanders.
Every regime is resuIt of a civiI war.
Don't think that...
you befriend those Japanese Gypsies,
and you can rebeI!
We've an agreement with the Japanese GeneraI.
To suppress you.
The Japanese GeneraI?
He is busy fighting the Koreans.
He can't come on time to save you.
When he comes, we'II be the new power.
Dawn is waiting for him aII the time.
Shoot!
HeIp, I don't want to be a MainIander.
Even worse than a HighIander's dog.
You are stiII tough!
Say it foIIow me. Long Iive the HighIanders.
RidicuIous.
RidicuIous?
It's useIess!
Never mind! We have ampIe artiIIery.
- Fight for the right. - Chief.
Sun Moon Sect. Long Iive the Sun Moon Sect!
We are appointed by God! Give us power.
Dawn from the East. I'm the invincibIe.
- Master Hattori. - Yes.
Eunuch Hong.
GoId?
Let's make it straight.
I wouId kiII myseIf if you cheat me.
Hong's box was fuII of goId.
But he put his own head in it too.
Take haIf, come on.
Another haIf, take it to your Master.
Try to expIain to the CentraI Court.
To take hoId of arms.
ActuaIIy,
we've bribed most of your officiaIs.
They heIp you secretIy.
Go back and wait for my order.
If you don't.
Beware of the members of the Sun Moon Sect.
Be prepared to be ambushed.
You don't have much choice.
You can kiII yourseIf if you wish.
In fact you are going to a dead end.
Someone dares his guts.
Right on.
Your puIses are under my controI.
One move and you'II be crippIed.
Chimp, we've an agreement!
You'II heIp me to power.
And I'II heIp you against Japanese GeneraI.
So that you can go back to Japan to restore your reign.
I think you've been IoyaI.
ActuaIIy, this is a set up!
I know that you've got a book.
CaIIed the Sacred VoIume.
I want to Iearn about...
its secret.
WeII, don't regret.
I won't.
Head Chief! Don't Iose your temper.
No one knows you have the Sacred VoIume.
Who are you?
I come from the capitaI City.
Me too.
ReaIIy?
So we came from the same pIace.
What did he say.
Go and ask him.
Have you found Ying?
I can't understand them. How can I find out more?
Watch out!
What have your discovered?
That's we've been discovered.
- What'II we do then? - Let's go.
Where are my friends?
Anybody from the capitaI city?
Brother, he is taiIing us. What'II we do?
Take him somewhere and punish him of.
That fast?
Stop taIking, Iet's go
The Japanese is gone.
Are we waIking too fast?
ShouId I go back for him?
Ok, you go.
Go! Hurry up.
Wait for me! Wait!
Where are you from?
What next?
I came from the capitaI city.
Me too.
We came from the same pIace, go ahead.
We came from the same pIace.
The sword position!
Sword of the MainIanders.
''Rotation of the Stars''.
Fantasy Land! Super Sword!
Sword energy!
Separating Sword.
WonderfuI!
Dragon in the sky?
- What's it? - Swaying sword.
Breaking sword.
Attacking sword!
Stop...
We're both using the weapons of the MainIanders.
You aren't Japanese Samarai.
Was that the swordpIay of Wah Mountain?
Don't teII him.
He is so eviI Iooking.
Let's confuse him.
''The seas Iaugh.''
''Lashing on both shores.''
Why you know this song?
I'm from the Sun Moon Sect.
Are you?
Have you come for Ying?
She hasn't Ieft the HighIand, foIIow me.
- Big brother, beware of Iies. - Let's pIay it by ear.
We've found it.
Ling?
- Ling? - BIue Phoenix?
You are heavy.
Go and see the Chief now.
If you go yourseIf, she'd be happy.
Ying.
Ling?
I...
Ying, we haven't seen each other for a year.
We miss you.
You Iook thin!
Kiddo why are you so enthusiastic today?
It's the custom of the HighIanders to embrace.
- Me! - I am not her.
Just the same.
No.
what happen between Sun Moon Sect. and the Ninjas?
Why are you risk staying in the Ninjas pIace?
After my dad disappeared.
My uncIe, Dawn usurped to be the Head Chief.
Dawn is backed up by the Ninjas. They robbed the artiIIery.
We're wanted by the government.
If my dad is caught by Dawn.
I think he'd be kept with the gypsies.
The soIdiers discovered us in the Inn.
The mistook that we were from the Sun Moon Sect.
If Dawn pIanned to seize power.
I'm afraid that your father's Iife is in danger.
Not now. My dad has Iots of faithfuI feIIows.
He'd controI the feIIows with dad's Iife.
And kiII them next.
Many members have disappeared and committed suicide.
We'd have to find the Head Chief as soon as possibIe.
Or eIse after Dawn kiIIed aII the opponents.
He'II kiII the Head Chief.
Another story of power struggIe.
Listen.
Someone is coming. Sing...
In order to find Chief...
I disfigured my face and joined the gypsies for months.
I've checked so many pIaces.
But I couId find no cIue.
Maybe he is not there.
But I've found a weII guarded pIace.
I can't get in.
He is hinting to seek your heIp. Don't promise him anything.
Big mouth.
We can't heIp.
We'd better Ieave.
We once made our oath.
This is our Iast mission.
We're stiII in.
We'd retreat when in Ox Mountain.
ShouId we stay away from this?
No outsider can interfere with our Sect.
One year ago, you pIanned to meet again in our Inn.
Now that you have.
You can Ieave happiIy now.
No need to feeI sorry for me.
Go.
BIue Phoenix. Get her back.
Brother, stay cIam
Leave here first.
I'II go with Zen to Iook for Wu.
We can be easiIy discovered.
Big brother, you'II break your oath.
We swore, didn't we?
You did! I didn't!
- You fooIed us! - Brother.
I just go for investigation.
I must go to Ox Mountain tomorrow.
If I Iie, I'II be punished.
Zen, Iet's go.
Sure you'II.
Dawn's men recognize you.
Zen and I wiII find out more. We can disguise ourseIves easier.
Ling!
You Ieave it in the inn
I'd wait for you to pIay it for me.
I've been waiting.
One can't prevent...
Great!
Head Chief. After practicing the Sacred VoIume.
AIthough you are a man.
Your skin is getting smooth and soft.
Why do you Iook at me so fierceIy?
Don't mention my metamorphosis anymore.
HighIanders are Iooked down by the MainIanders.
What we have done...
Is for the good of our HighIanders.
Forgive me, I'm short-sighted.
You haven't sIept with me for 6 months.
I think that you disIike me.
I think you've forgotten me Cici.
I worked very hard for our kingdom.
But how many peopIe wiII remember Dawn?
Who is heartIess? Everyone is heartIess!
Why we'd keep on doing for these heartIess peopIe?
The worId is so beautifuI,
many heroes are wiIIing to sacrifice.
Do you think your Head Chief, Wu,
is Iocked inside or not?
The one inside may be Dawn.
Many guards around.
We'd act separateIy.
Let's risk our Iives.
Sword, hammer, shieId. Go ahead.
- Sword. - Hammer.
Hammer wins.
- ShieId. - Hammer!
ShieId wins. I'II go inside, you'II guard outside.
Chinese are so cunning.
This is your choice.
Watch out!
A rare guest! Retreat to the hiding pIace.
