In Ming Dynasty, 22nd year of Emperor Sun.
There was a civil war among the clans in Japan.
One of the clans, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
United Japan.
Some generals planned to rebel
and departed from their hometown.
They gathered by the South China seashore.
To wait for restoration to the throne.
They communicated with the local power.
And fought against the government.
Announce my order. - Yes.
I am a government official.
The arms you stole were bought...
from Holland by the government.
If you return them, I can ask the Emperor for mercy.
If not, you will face execution.
Convey my message. - Yes, sir.
I'm sent by his Honour to tell you.
The arms you stole belong to the government.
You'll be exempted from capital punishment if you return them.
If not, you will all be killed.
Have you finished?
How dare you talk to me like that?
I'll teach you a lesson with my Dutch battleship!
who fired the signal?
My Dutch battleship!
Hong!
Who is it?
Invincible Dawn.
Invincible.. Dawn
Spectacular Master!
Send the signal.
Master, we have the signal from Hattori.
Chimp! I'll send you to negotiate with them.
Leave if any of you want to stay with me.
What else... - Chief!
Kill them all! - Yes, Chief.
Chimp, let's see who's the fastest.
Brother...
Ling, watch out
You drink while you ride.
I'm afraid you'll fall off your horse one day.
Just look after yourself.
After this hill, we'll be there.
You've said that twice already.
will you say it another two times?
I can't help it! There are so many hills!
We'd better keep on ridding.
Lightness Kung Fu!
Out of my way!
Sword Energy?
Fly! Little brother.
Brother.
It's ok, I've got you.
Oh God, my wine!
Brother! wait for me!
Reimburse me for the spilt wine.
Or at least, apologize.
Let's go down and deal with him.
Leave him to me.
Yes, Sir.
I am highly skilled. Do you dare provoke me?
I almost died trying to save this bottle.
What do you think I value? Wine or life?
You're just a drunk. Get a life!
What do you mean by that?
I've got a life!
You only care about your bottle.
Isn't my life more valuable?
You know how to fly, the bottle doesn't.
That's not the point!
Oh my horse. My horse!
My poor little dead horse.
Not a complaint your whole life.
Deserted and all alone in the end.
You call this justice?
It's not easy being a horse, let alone a person.
Don't be a horse again in your next life.
But it's even harder to be a human.
I know that.
I may end up like you one day...
or an even worse fate.
My body may be left in the open... - Stop...
You shouldn't let your imagination run wild.
Don't talk about something impossible.
what, I've no more wine.
How can I sleep without wine?
You still want to sleep?
Stop! Big brother, pull yourself together.
The horse is an old friend of ours...
and we don't feel anything for him.
when did you guys become friends?
Your horse threw you down a few days ago...
and you wanted to get rid of him.
You almost put him on sale.
That's in the past.
You have no compassion.
I understand. Men drink wine, horses eat grass.
Instead of incense, let'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, it burns faster.
It will reach Heaven sooner.
Dinner time, Brother.
Brother, you are cheating me again.
Little brother. - I'm not talking to you.
Well, just listen.
We've separated from our brothers for a year.
we've looked everywhere for a place to retreat to.
Now we've lost contact with them.
Finally, we found Ox Mountain.
We can go into seclusion there.
wind and snow, why forcing us?
Heroes do not last forever.
The outside world is so ugly.
We won't come back anymore.
Ever-lasting heroes?
Well, some music for you.
Tomorrow we'll hurry to the inn.
To meet our brothers.
I wonder if they are asleep now.
Can you play something else?
"Hero of Heroes"
You are still thinking about that Highlander girl?
How do you know?
All you can think of is wine and girls.
How can you go into seclusion like that?
You should lead an ascetic lifestyle.
I'm not going to be a monk.
I don't have to live a quiet life.
"The seas laugh, lashing on both shores"
"Carried in the waves, we have only the here and now"
"The heavens laugh at the troubled world"
"Only they know, who is to win or lose"
"The earth laughs, no more solitude"
"The waves wash away all the beauties of the world"
"The wind laughs, loneliness comes"
"Our aspiration overcomes the moon"
Chief!
Chief,
I can't hear anyone coming.
I don't think Ling will come tonight.
Blue Phoenix.
I understand, we'll keep on waiting.
That's good.
Wait!
It's been one year, you've played this song every day.
I'm dizzy!
When Ling gets here, I'll ask him to play too.
To make you all dizzy.
No matter how powerful you are.
You will always be the weaker sex.
What?
Chief, can you hear it...
A horse is coming our way.
Come up here.
Good gracious!
Chief.
To make amends, stay silent for the next three days.
If you speak...
You will lose your tongue.
Have some wine.
You like wine?
You'll speak up after a few drinks.
Then your tongue will add body to my wine.
Why don't you drink up?
Show me your tongue.
Try out the good wine.
Your tongue should get used to the wine before being cut off.
Put your tongue back into the wine.
I'm prepared to die, come on.
Chief, tell Ling that you like him.
Ask him to stay and drink with you.
I've finished my speech.
He wants to lead a secluded life.
But my ties to the world are still strong
He can give it up, but not I.
So much has happened in the Sun Moon Sect lately.
Now my father has disappeared.
How can I, as Chief, just leave like that?
I sense danger.
Chief!
Alert everyone!
Sound the alarm.
Go up on the roof.
On guard, everybody. - Right!
Come in at your own risk.
Attack!
Watch out!
Take cover! - 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 Whirlwind Blow"
Energy from the sword.
"The Slaying Sword"
Watch out!
Super!
"The Slaying Sword"
"The Recoiling whip"
Who are you? What do you have against us?
Spit it out.
"Twin Swords"
"The Flying Bomb"
Chief.
Blue Phoenix. - Come this way.
Think you can escape?
"The Flying Bomb"
Looks like Ying's whip.
She must be in trouble, let's look for her.
Right, I'll go the other way.
Who is it?
Oh, it's you.
Why are you back again? Let's spread out.
I nearly slashed you.
I just wanted to say,
We don't know who we're chasing.
It might turn out to be our own people.
We should use a secret code from now on.
That way if anything happens...
we can avoid any mishap.
A secret code?
Ok, if something happens,
Say your own name.
Ok, good!
You're always too quick to agree.
Watch out!
Why didn't you say your name?
That was our agreed code.
I panicked and forgot my name.
Why did you scream?
There are some dead bodies over there.
Dead bodies?
Where's your sword?
I left it with the dead horse.
Follow me.
They are over there.
Touch wood!
We may find the same thing inside.
Scorpion!
The best kind. Perfect to add body to the wine.
That should make a strong tonic wine.
Ok, let's go in and check it out.
There's somebody hiding down there.
Take this, don't come down unless I say the code.
Who goes there?
The Wah Mountain Swordplay.
Watch out.
"Dragon in the Ocean" - "Seven-Star Rotation"
The Wah Mountain Swordplay? - Right.
Who are you?
I'm Ling.
Ling? The secret code!
"Flight of the Star"
Wait a minute.
Right on!
Let's get them!
We're on the same side.
Get up, it's our brothers.
Good thing your technique is lacking...
or there would have been a few more dead bodies.
Buck-tooth, Scum Bag and Luke, you're here.
Our own people fighting each other?
This is just the way we great each other.
You are quite a few inches taller now.
She can't fit into our pants anymore.
Stop growing taller!
Shrink a bit!
Taller... - Shorter...
My turn now!
I can see that, it's not your turn.
Luke, was the place in a shambles when you arrived?
Yes, but the fire was still smouldering.
Looks like the assault was just before dawn.
where is Chief Ying?
She must have been kidnapped.
Big brother, look at this.
This doesn't belong to the Mainlanders.
It's not a knife or a sword.
There's a horde of Japanese gypsies in the vicinity.
Do these belong to them?
Brother, this belongs to the Sun Moon Sect.
Chief Ying must have been kept hostage.
It's a feud between the Sun Moon Sect and the gypsies.
We can't be the mediator all the time.
Chief Ying is our friend.
We should help as much as possible.
That's all we do nowadays
Ok... let me get something to eat first.
There must be food in there.
Let's cook a meal. - Fine.
Kiddo... Have you seen her?
I think she's in the toilet.
She must be upstairs.
Always calling me Kiddo. Don't I look like a girl?
Is it hard to be a lady?
A girl usually has extra hairpieces.
Where is Kiddo?
Kiddo, where are you?
I'm here.
Such a nuisance!
Hold on, don't fall over.
Have you seen Kiddo?
Are you blind?
Help!
My foot hurts.
Why did you scream?
What's wrong with you?
How come Kiddo's hair looks so different?
Jesus, Kiddo has become a woman!
Better watch your tongue!
What's wrong with you lot?
Look at me, talk to me.
Forget it, it's nothing.
My God!
She's neither male nor female.
She's wore our trousers too much.
How pitiful!
Chilli pepper!
She used to lend her trousers to you.
Stop mentioning the past.
Too spicy?
Smells good.
Fragrant?
Highlander flowers?
That's rouge for cosmetics.
It belongs to Kiddo.
Gone...
Hide it, quick!
All gone?
Replace it with chilli powder.
What's up? - Nothing.
Good. - What's the matter?
Are you sure?
Really sure?
Really, are you all right?
Fine.
They are weird!
The two who went hunting in the nearby village.
They're not back yet?
There are rabbits 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 should we do?
Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything.
How do you explain the dead bodies?
What's the explanation?
What should we say?
The soup is hot.
The soup is hot, and we're in hot water.
What should we do? They're coming our way.
The scouts will want to hold somebody responsible.
They'll think that it was us.
Let's put on our veils before we fight our way out.
I'm not fighting.
Are you kidding?
Didn't we decide not to get involved?
Pack up and slip out through 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 himself.
What should we do?
Such a nuisance, I'll fetch him.
Hurry up.
Master.
There's smoke, so someone's still inside.
Please give your order.
We've been surrounded, Scum Bag.
Let's go.
My pants! - Forget them, run for your life.
They're coming in, should we wait for Scum Bag?
We can lie down and pretend to be dead.
Ok, hurry up.
Something's going on outside.
The perpetrators may still be close by.
Have two men stay here to check if anyone's still alive.
Yes Sir, you guys follow me. - Yes Sir.
We've checked, they're all dead.
I double-checked.
Let's go.
Catch him for the chief.
They've found my horse.
I won't let them take him away.
My poor foot and I spoiled the soup!
Catch him... - Yes.
Order the troops to stop him.
Hurry up, he's ahead of us.
Catch him, hurry up.
Big brother.
The scouts are after him, please help.
Get yourself armed.
Lend me a sword, anyone?
Where's my sword? - Hurry up.
Here's one. - Hey that's mine.
A sword does not serve two masters.
We'll take turns to use it.
What happened?
Ling must have gone to save Ying.
Let's go. - He likes wine and women!
What's going on?
This is strange weather! It doesn't seem natural to me.
Here it comes again.
All right, I see you now
With the Sacred Volume in hand.
I'm on the top of the world.
"Wavering Sword"
Hey, my wine.
What do you think you're doing?
You're feeding the fish with my wine?
Good.
Excellent wine.
Perfect wine!
Good wine deserves connoisseurs like us.
My name is Ling.
Would you mind telling me your name?
You have a problem with that?
Ok, so I'll give you a nickname.
Like...
Lady, are you trying to catch a fish?
Let's chat a bit more.
You babble too much, youngster.
You are trespassing in my sphere.
I'll spare your life this time. Don't let me see you again.
Who was that? I can't see anyone.
It's too soon to tell if he's a friend or not.
He's after me though, no need to get you involved.
When I come back I'll give you a name.
Ok, I'm here.
When I speak, can you hear me?
Can you?
1, 2, 3.
Looks like he can't hear me.
Lady.
Must be one of her days at the beach.
How come my treasured wine bottle...
Looks so plain all of a sudden.
Don't worry, I won't give you up.
Something pretty to keep you company.
You won't be alone from now on.
So many dead animals? Let me roast one of them.
Who is it?
Brother!
We are here.
What a place to meet you.
It's hard to find the way if we get lost.
Take a seat Brother.
You should be waiting for me at the inn.
Fortunately we are here.
I guess there must have been a heavy shower.
The birds have been washed down by the rain.
Big brother.
Close you eyes! We have no clothes on.
No big deal!
I've seen nude bodies before.
Oh... your ass is no big deal!
You're happy to look at us naked...
But you're hiding yourself!
You should decide if you're a man or a woman.
Which is it?
Hermaphrodite.
Why did you come here?
Kiddo said you'd save that Highlander.
She's always on your mind!
Since we're from the same school, we should stick together.
But why are we going into seclusion?
Then we don't have to fight and kill all the time.
We may use violence to save people.
We can save people without violence.
How can we do it without violence?
If we are attacked, should we run away?
You counter attack if you can't go.
That is violence!
Ok... You are forced to use violence.
Let's save Chief Ying.
But swear now,
this is your last mission.
Or, let's go back.
I swear!
No regrets!
Cross your heart and hope to die.
It's chilli pepper.
It's hot! - Let's see her make up.
I haven't eaten the food of my homeland for so long. I missed it.
Chimp's troop's can't defeat us.
Your general Kai was a military genius.
But he wasn't appreciated by that stupid Emperor.
Instead, he was downgraded and died of sickness.
There are no capable men in the regime.
It's pointless to send small potatoes like you...
To fight against me!
I think, the reign of the Mainlanders is over.
What a big mouth, bastard!
How dare you criticize the government before his Honour?
Who are you to call us bastards?
Look up, bastards! Can you see our flag?
It'll soon be hoisted in the capital.
You want to start a riot?
Yes, we do!
The six tribes of the Highlanders.
The Mainlanders always bully us Highlanders.
Every new regime is the result of a civil war.
Just because you've befriended those Japanese Gypsies,
Don't think that you can start a rebellion!
We've an agreement with the Japanese General.
To suppress you.
The Japanese General?
He is busy fighting the Koreans.
He can't come on time to save you.
By the time he gets here, we'll be the new power.
Dawn is waiting for him all the time.
Shoot!
No! I don't want to be a Mainlander.
Even worse than a Highlander's dog.
You are still tough!
Now say after me... Long live the Highlanders!
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous?
I'm useless!
Never mind! We have ample artillery.
Fight for the right. - Chief.
Sun Moon Sect. Long live the Sun Moon Sect!
We are appointed by God! Give us power.
Dawn from the East. I'm the invincible.
Master Hattori. - Yes.
Eunuch Hong.
Gold?
Let's get one thing straight.
I will kill myself if you cheat me.
Hong's box was full of gold.
But he put his own head in it too.
Take half, come on.
Take the other half to your Master.
Try to explain to the Central Court.
To take hold of arms.
Actually,
we've bribed most of your officials.
They'll help you secretly.
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 kill yourself if you wish.
In fact you are going to a dead end.
Someone wants to die.
Take that.
Your pulses are under my control.
One move and you'll be crippled.
Chimp, we've an agreement!
You'll help me to power.
And I'll help you against the Japanese General.
So that you can go back to Japan to restore your reign.
I thought you were loyal.
Actually, this is a set up!
I know that you've got a book.
Called the Sacred Volume.
I want to learn about...
it's secret.
Well, don't do anything you'll regret.
I won't.
Head Chief! Don't lose your temper.
No one knows you have the Sacred Volume.
Who are you?
I come from the capital City.
Me too.
Really?
So we came from the same place.
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 we've been discovered.
What'll we do then? - Let's go.
Where are my friends?
Anybody from the capital city?
Brother, he is tailing us. What'll we do?
Take him somewhere and finish him off.
That fast?
Stop talking, let's go
The Japanese has gone.
Are we walking too fast?
Should 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 capital city.
We came from the same place, go ahead.
We came from the same place.
The sword position!
Sword of the Mainlanders.
"Rotation of the Stars"
Fantasy Land! Super Sword!
Sword Energy!
Separating Sword!
Wonderful!
Dragon in the sky?
What is it? - Swaying sword.
Breaking sword.
Attacking sword!
Stop...
We're both using the weapons of the Mainlanders.
You aren't a Japanese Samurai.
Was that the swordplay of Wah Mountain?
Don't tell him.
He is so evil looking.
Let's confuse him.
"The seas laugh"
"Lashing on both shores"
How do you know this song?
I'm from the Sun Moon Sect.
Are you?
Have you come for Ying?
She hasn't left the Highland, follow me.
Big brother, beware of lies. - Let's play it by ear.
We've found it.
Ling?
- Blue Phoenix?
You are heavy.
Come and see the Chief now.
If you come yourself, she'll be happy.
Ying.
Ling?
I...
Ying, we haven't seen each other for a year.
We've missed you.
You look thin!
Kiddo why are you so enthusiastic today?
It's the custom of the Highlanders to embrace.
Me! - I am not her.
Just the same.
No.
What happened between Sun Moon Sect and the Ninjas?
why have you risked staying in the Ninja's place?
After my dad disappeared,
My uncle, Dawn, usurped to be the Head Chief.
Dawn is backed up by the Ninjas. They robbed the artillery.
We're wanted by the government.
If my dad had been caught by Dawn.
I think he'd be kept with the gypsies.
The soldiers discovered us in the Inn.
They thought that we were from the Sun Moon Sect.
If Dawn plans to seize power.
I'm afraid that your father's life is in danger.
Not at the moment. My dad has lots of faithful men.
Dawn will use my dad to control the men.
Or they'll be killed.
Many members have disappeared or committed suicide.
We have to find the Head Chief as soon as possible.
Or else after Dawn has killed all the opponents.
He'll kill the Head Chief.
Another power struggle.
Listen.
Someone is coming. Sing...
In order to find Chief...
I disfigured my face and lived with the gypsies for months.
I've checked so many places.
But I couldn't find any clue.
So you don't think he's there?
I did find a well guarded place.
A place I couldn't access.
He is hinting to seek your help. Don't promise him anything.
Big mouth.
We can't help.
We'd better leave.
We once made our oath.
This is our last mission.
We're still in.
We'll retire when we get to Ox Mountain.
Should we stay away from this?
No outsider can interfere with our Sect.
One year ago, you planned to meet again in our Inn.
Now that you have.
You can leave happily.
No need to feel sorry for me.
Go.
Blue Phoenix. Get her back.
Brother, stay calm
Leave here now.
I'll go with Zen to look for Wu.
We can be easily discovered.
Big brother, you'll break your oath.
We swore, didn't we?
You did! I didn't!
You fooled us! - Brother.
I'm just going to investigate.
I must go to Ox Mountain tomorrow.
If I lie, I'll be punished.
Zen, let's go.
Sure you will.
Dawn's men will recognize you.
Zen and I will find out more. We can disguise ourselves more easily.
Ling!
You left it in the inn
I'll wait for you to play it for me.
I've been waiting.
I've done nothing but wait...
Great!
Head Chief. After practicing the Sacred Volume.
Although you are a man.
Your skin is getting smooth and soft.
Why do you look at me so fiercely?
Don't mention my metamorphosis again.
Highlanders are looked down upon by the Mainlanders.
What we have done...
Is for the good of our Highlanders.
Forgive me, I'm short-sighted.
You haven't slept with me for six months.
I think that you dislike me.
I think you've forgotten me Cici.
I've worked very hard for our kingdom.
But how many people will remember Dawn?
Who is heartless? Everyone is heartless!
Why should we keep on toiling for these heartless people?
The world is so beautiful,
many heroes are willing to sacrifice themselves.
Do you think your Head Chief, Wu,
is locked inside or not?
The one inside may be Dawn.
Many guards around.
we'd better act separately.
Let's risk our lives.
Sword, hammer, shield. Are you ready?
Sword. - Hammer.
Hammer wins.
Shield. - Hammer!
Shield wins. I'll go inside, you guard outside.
Chinese are so cunning.
This is your choice.
Watch out!
A rare guest! Retreat to the hiding place.
