lncredible! What a jump!
Boss, he demanded protection money from you.
- Come with me and be a witness. - Me?
And fear for my life, like the theatre boss does?
You two were practising kung fu in there, I didn't see any fighting.
In America, people have to walk carefully.
Because they might trip on all the gold.
- Is that true? - There's more!
lfyou wash your face in the river, you'll find gold.
- Is it really that wonderful? - of course it is!
One visit to America is worth a lifetime ofwork in China.
Come on, take a leaflet! There's one for everyone.
People in America wear dark glasses day and night.
It's so bright it hurts your eyes.
You can't pick up gold if you're blind.
My poor lost sheep, God's Kingdom belongs to you.
You're promoting America, too?
Material things are transient. Only Jesus is the truth.
Come to Jesus. He forgives all sins.
I arrested a criminal today. Will Jesus be my witness?
Beware offire.
Beware ofthieves.
Boss!
- Boss, are you over there? - I'm here!
Get ready!
Master! How are you?
Are you crazy? Fans in this weather.
So, the Governor has locked up the Local Militia?
He won't release them till the suspects are caught.
Master!
I can't be a witness because I'm a suspect.
They even let Hung of Shaho go.
When will our men be released?
When a witness comes forward.
Master, what about Foon?
- Foon?! Do you know him? - Yes.
You must be mixed up in this. What are you hiding?
I...
Master, you don't always trust me. So, I...
What? Speak!
Mas...Mas...Master...The...There...
- Calm down, So. Don't panic! - Master!
So!...
Master, what shall we do? Those arrows came from the roof.
I'm coming!
Never mind me. Gather...the valuables!
Kai, get your weapon. We'll take them on.
- Wing, put out the fire. I'm off. - Alone?
Damn!
So! Here!
Goddamn steps!
His Excellency's fan?! Here it is!
Wow, the roof's like a furnace!
It's like hell down here!
Someone's on the roof. Shoot him!
It's Master Wong. Run!
Lam Chi Bo is on fire!
Lam Chi Bo will be lost forever.
- What are you doing? - Taking a photo of Lam Chi Bo.
- You'll be burned alive! - You're blocking the sign!
A little more, I can't see you.
Should we wait for Master?
The...roof...is...is on fire!
So, look this way!
Kai, shift a little to the right.
I thought I had it with me.
But I was taking pictures ofthe clinic.
You're just like the foreigners!
Don't ever bring this into the clinic again...
or I'll throw it away!
His Excellency the Governor is here!
Wong Fei-Hung, you open kung-fu schools, triad societies...
divide up the town and run illegal businesses.
Now other triads take revenge...
The burning of Lam Chi Bo is your own fault.
It's time to mend your ways!
Excellency, mine is not a triad society.
lfthe authority labels martial arts illegal,
then our grand tradition will be lost.
So when we are attacked, how will we defend ourselves?
Is that what you call preserving the peace?
You can't even save your clinic and you dare lecture me!
It's yourjob to investigate the fire.
You tell me, who did it?
I don't know.
You don't know?! You're hiding something.
Wing!
- Wing, what are you doing? - Master!
Can I come in?
Foreign devil...!
- Wing! - Master!
Go on like this, and you can stop calling me Master.
Don't go.
You must have a complaint against Fei-Hung. You can tell me.
Wong Fei-Hung, I know who set Lam Chi Bo on fire.
I can be your witness.
Check if anyone's from Shaho.
- Hey, are you from Shaho. - No!
So many people!
Boss, looks like the Governor's going to arrest you.
Goddamn! That Jesuit must have squealed.
Shouldn't we go and hide back home?
Never! We're afraid ofthe Governor. He's afraid ofthe foreigners.
So let's find some influential foreigners!
Wait for me.
We want to speak to Mr Jackson.
Damn, we've no English. Try harder.
Please, please let us in to see Mr Jackson.
We all want to see Mr Jackson.
If I keep a dog, it'll guard my house.
You are wanted by the Governor. What good are you to us?
I'm not afraid of being arrested.
But I am afraid that without a leader,
my brothers' talents will go to waste.
You came all this way to make money,
by sending so many Chinese to America.
Why don't I give you some women to ship over?
No, we don't allow the labourers to breed.
Otherwise they'd stay for good.
Not as wives as hookers.
As many as you want.
It's Wong who's the problem.
Dare you kill him for me?
- Master Wong?! - Yes...
I'll invite him to the show tomorrow. He won't get out alive.
Wing, the Governor is after the Shaho Gang.
Foon, where have you been?
I have to go back to the theatre. Come with me.
- Wait, let me lock up first. - OK!
- Hey, come out first. - Oh, right!
This is Wing. He'll solve all your problems.
Master Wong's students. Welcome!
Don't worry. I'll check the tickets for you. I like gate duty.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Tickets. Show me your tickets. Stay in line.
Do you have tickets?
Tickets? Do you know who I am?
Look at the poster. He's Wonder Ho, I'm White Gent.
And I'm Wing! No ticket? Go!
The show's starting and you dare tell us to leave?
OK, we'll go, you'll regret this! We'll go! We'll go!
Tickets...
Brother Wing, let's go in.
- No hurry, the actors aren't here. - Thank you so much.
Have you seen Wonder Ho and White Gent?
They tried to barge in, I told them to piss off.
What? They're the actors!
Then we don't have a show.
You stay here, I'll go and fetch them.
Tickets...
My Master's coming! I'm out of here!
Excuse me!
- So you accepted the invitation! - Please!
- 13th Aunt! - Master Wong!
Why so formal?
Relatives must respect the rule of seniority.
OK, let's just watch the show!
Please!...
Wing, we're in trouble.
Master's here. I don't want to stay.
The actors are gone. You're going. What'll I do?
- I can sing. - So what?
I can act a little. Let's go!
You dare sing on stage in front ofyour Master?
Who's going to recognise us with make up on?
OK, let's take a chance. Come backstage.
Lucky you got us or the show would be cancelled.
- I'm amazed you recognised me! - lsn't that Wing?
Who's Wing? Let's go! Come on!
The White Snake is now a Fat Snake.
Porky! Porky!
Hey, Porky Wing's changed profession.
Where will we buy our pork from now on?
Wing, again!
Nonsense!
I made him do it, don't blame him.
Pack up and never come back.
Brother Wing, I'll join you in the pork business.
Watch out!
Get down!
Seal all exits!
- Lead the foreigners out. - Yes, sir!
There's fighting outside.
Foon, it must be the Shaho Gang. Go after them!
13th Aunt!
Stop it!
Don't shoot at the audience.
Don't shoot!
Son...
Limestone powder. Close your eyes.
Stay down!
It's not Wong? Forget him!
Protect His Excellency!
Come on.
Gun!
Take cover.
13th Aunt, take the gun and protect the reverend.
They're here for me. Keep away!
Master, take the pole!
Master, I'll help you!
The floor's too thin.
- Master, I'll help you! - Oh? And who are you?
Protect 13th Aunt! I don't need help.
Leave her alone!
Reverend Father!
Wing, come and protect 13th Aunt.
They've gone backstage!
Let's see you fight up here!
Damn it!
- Why did you ambush me? - It's you who ambushed me!
Foon? He's Foon?
It's dangerous here, there are killers inside.
Question him!
- Foon, what're you doing? - How would I know?
He's been hitting me ever since he came in!
Don't move!
You say don't move, but you still hit me!
Let's all stop this fighting!
Let's go!
Master Wong, don't move!
- Your Excellency. - Silence!
Excellency, they left something.
"Glory to the Militia. Death to foreigners"?
Weren't all the Local Militia arrested?
How many have you sheltered?
Your Excellency. I'm being framed!
Don't listen to him! Arrest these Shaho thugs!
What Shaho thugs?
That's the second time you've hit me.
Find out the truth before you lay blame.
The truth?
- He's taking protection money! - What? My Master?
Yes! That's him!
Master Wong? lsn't he from Shaho?
Where's Shaho? Near the Yellow River?
You don't need to explain.
My men will soon arrest your other members.
But I'm going to arrest you first and close your clinic.
Then let's see you make trouble!
Many people have been injured. Let me help them, then I'll go with you.
All right, go ahead.
You'll be guarded. If anything happens I'll execute you on the spot.
Don't move. You're bleeding.
- So, fetch the medicine. - OK!
Go away. Can't you see the eviction notice?
That doesn't give you permission to steal our stuff. Give them back!
You dare to hit us?! Go away!
Don't you have anything better to do?
Master, they were stealing, I stopped them.
So what? Do you want to fight? I'll fight with you.
- OK, let's go! - No! I mean I'll fight you!
- Master, how can I fight you? - Where'd you like to be hit?
Is it here? Here?
You want me arrested right away?
If not, don't stop me from saving lives.
Master!
Stop acting up!
We'll arrest you, if you get in our way.
Porky's smart, escaping arrest this way.
Hit me! Such restraint!
Mr Cheng!
Still bleeding. Fetch me the coagulant!
Coagulant!
He's dead. Tell his family.
So...
Fei-Hung!
What's this tattoo?
It reads, "Jackson".
Is it his ship's name?
Don't be scared. I'm Wong Fei-Hung.
You're badly hurt. lfyou move, you'll tear the wound.
You're Master Wong? Help me!
Get up. Where are you from?
- America! - America?
We crossed seas and were denied medicine when we were ill.
Many were thrown overboard.
In America, we were branded like pigs.
We were cheated by the Chinese dealers here.
We signed contracts, paid for food and passage.
Paid for so many things.
Those who tried to escape were killed.
I came back to China. I...I...Master Wong...
Don't worry, you're home now.
Let me see ifwe can find your family.
Try not to think too much.
Kai! Keep his contract with the foreigners secret.
- Or the Governor will arrest him. - I understand.
Going to America's better than staying here.
Don't miss out!...Come on... Take a look! You want one?
- Go to America? How? - Take one. You want one, too?
The same America as in the newspaper?
lfyou want to go, pay an exit tax, passage, rental, blanket and food.
You can get a 3 year contract.
It costs 2 years' salary?!
- You haven't got any money? - No.
Then don't even think about it! Shove off!
You want one? It's a land full of gold!
A fight's about to start over there!
A fight? Let's go and watch it. Come on!
Don't go, don't go!
You dare show off in front of my house and hit my disciple.
- What's your name? - Master Yim.
I warn you. My swordplay is unmatched.
You're a guest, so I'll let you strike three times.
On guard!
Second strike!
Just two strikes and you already draw your sword?
You're not my match. Let's forget it!
Don't go!
You dare strike me from behind?
'lron Robe kung fu'!
I've let you thrust 3 times. Admit defeat!
There must be a way to beat him.
Why are you following me?
My name is Foon. I'm from May County. There are lots of gangs in this town.
My kung fu is poor. I'm often bullied.
I can't even make a living.
Please take me as your student.
What's the point of being a kung fu expert? I can't make a living either.
Master, are you hungry?
You take shelter. I'll think of something.
Give me a drumstick!
Good stuff, eh? We only eat the best!
Gentlemen, come inside!
The soup's salty. Don't drink it.
The soup's very salty today.
Hey, why'd you steal my bowl?
Gentlemen, welcome, come in and have a drink.
Welcome gentlemen, let me sing to you.
Master, have some soup.
2 men drinking from the same bowl. Pathetic!
Madam, shall I have them thrown out?
If I made my name here, no one would look down on me.
Right, you have to become the top dog.
Who's the best in town? Master Wong?
Fei-Hung!
13th Aunt, you're right. China must change.
Fists can't fight guns.
I'm under house arrest, soon I'll have to fight.
Take care ofyourself!
- Fei-Hung, I'll wait for you. - You don't have to.
lfyou do, I won't die in peace.
You won't die...
I'm just a man...
Go home.
Wing, he...
Wing, go inside, it's raining hard.
Master didn't tell me to come in yet.
Wing.
- Come back to Lam Chi Bo. - Master!
Come on in!
I...
Master, let me!
So!
It's raining harder than ever.
It's closed! Push off!
I'm 'lron Robe' Yim from Shandong...
I'm here to challenge Master Wong.
Please tell me which of you is Master Wong?
- Master, a challenger! - Wing, bring some tea!
- Master! - Bring tea!
Please!
Kai, take the patients to one side.
Have a seat!
Fold the umbrella.
Have some tea!
Foon, what're you doing?
Foon?
Master Wong, your techniques are famous,
especially your 'Shadowless Kick' and 'Ten Forms Fist'.
I intend to open up my own school here,
that's why I'm here to challenge you.
Soon the people will know my martial arts is the best.
I'm under house arrest, you could get in trouble.
I can't fight you today.
Are you a warrior or not?
Master Yim!
I've patients here! It's not the right place to fight!
Wing, Kai!
Do you want to be thrown out again?!
What are you waiting for? Take the patients to the back.
I'll take you inside. They're going to fight.
How dare you touch our patients?
Move him or he'll get hurt by my master.
Bullshit! If not for my Master, I'd beat you up.
- Let go! - No!
- God damn it, Foon! - What?
You dare try again?
Yim, stop fighting.
lfyou don't stop, I'll fire!
Don't hurt my Master. Give it to me!
Master, are you all right?
