You can't say fairer than that.
That's most noble of you.
Wong Fei-hung, I really admire your character.
To prove my goodwill, I'm arranging a banquet tomorrow night
for you and your father.
- Please come. - I just want to say sorry.
Fine, we'd be delighted to attend.
Great, that's what I appreciate in a person, the ability to forgive.
Tomorrow night, the San Shui Restaurant, and don't be late.
- Thank you, Master. - Thank you.
Goodbye, Master. And thank you once again.
We'll set an example for the rest of the kung fu schools.
See you tomorrow night!
Master.
Iron Foot, I can't refuse the invitation.
Nobody must leave the building tonight.
Foon, take care of security.
Security?
I will go to the restaurant, you take care of this place.
Fei-hung, I intend going with you.
- Dad... - I'm not going to let you go alone.
Didn't you hear him say I was invited?
I'm going with you.
- We'll go together. - Of course.
When things get tough, we have to stick together.
Master's leaving now.
Last night was quiet, but we have to be more careful.
You two, the back door, you three, the front door.
You two, cover the yard. You three, take the street.
Iron Foot, you take the roof and the side gate.
Hey, Foon, how can I watch both places?
Your leg could do with the exercise.
Oh, I see.
- Yan, get some water ready. - But I've had my bath.
- Not for bathing, in case of fire! - Oh, right.
- Hey, Foon, have you seen Fei-hung? - No, I haven't.
He left without me.
Chiu Tim-ba, here I am.
Master Wong, I'm glad you could make it.
You're most welcome. This way please.
I'm sure you'll like the food and the young ladies.
- Ladies? I don't know about that. - OK, then. We'll give that a miss.
- Please, sit. - Sit, sit, sit.
Master Wong, I know you'll join me in a toast to peace.
I've prepared the finest wine for you.
Here's to peace.
I'd also like to offer our respects to the great martial arts' heroes.
We are merely carrying on the great traditions they founded.
Cheers.
What's this?
I invited you and your father, yet you came alone.
That proves you are not sincere.
What's more you assaulted one of my men.
You just want to humiliate me.
You attacked my father, yet I came here tonight out of respect for you.
We live in a country where law and order prevails.
So I'm going to turn you in.
Really?
And you honestly think you'll manage to evade this little trap?
You're a better fighter than I imagined.
I'm afraid this is your last supper. Now I'm going to send you to hell!
Go ahead.
I'd like to see you try. Go on, I'm waiting.
Well, wait no longer.
A simple trick, try this for size!
You won't succeed.
Don't waste any more time.
Get him!
- Oil? - Of course!
After all, it is in our factory.
We'll see how good your skills are when things are slippery underfoot.
Go to hell!
Put the table here.
We can play a little game and watch the show.
Chop him into little pieces!
Well done!
You don't escape that easy!
Are we having fun yet?
I'm gonna die!
You're still alive.
Master Wong.
Get lost.
Stand firm!
I've lost!
Chiu Tim-ba! Stop!
- Fei-hung, are you all right? - Fine. Come on.
- Where are you going? - Please spare me.
I know I've done wrong, but please spare me, sir.
I'm begging you.
You should have thought of that before.
Look out! He knows kung fu.
I'm going to dig out your eyeballs.
Iron Foot!
Well, it seems your leg's better.
Wong Fei-hung, it will take more than you to stop me.
Your kung fu is very average.
Master, how can you stand this?
- Right, get after him. - Right.
But like you say, we'd better stay calm.
"The All-Powerful Cantonese Lions"
"Fei-hung"
What's that?
Cousin Yee's suitcase.
Cousin Yee!
"Fei-hung"
Cousin Yee's gone. Where did she go?
We must find her.
Gone?
Cousin Yee!
- Check that side. - Right.
Fei-hung.
Cousin...
Peony!
You didn't leave.
Say something. This kind of behaviour is hardly fitting.
I say that we should throw away the old lion heads.
They're outdated, they're no use any more.
Lion heads? I don't get it.
Peony, I thought you'd left forever.
Yes, there's something important I have to show you. Follow me.
What did he stuff in the wall?
I went back to that place and I found this.
At the Lion competition, when the firecracker explodes,
kill Li Hung-chang.
I knew that Russian was up to no good!
We must inform His Excellency at once.
But he may not want to see us. Then what?
Are you asking me?
It's a matter of life and death! Be serious!
The Lion King Competition is very soon.
We must act now.
This telescopic lens is specifically designed for long range firing.
We have to save governor Li. We must stop the explosion from happening.
Who knows what disorder might follow?
Of course, we can't involve the association.
To solve this problem, I shall go in myself.
"Wong Fei-hung"
"The Lion King Competition"
The camera team. Let them through.
Let's go.
Master, I can't see the trophy.
That's because it's hidden inside that huge lantern there.
When the governor lights it, it will rise up.
The lion grabs it and the firecracker underneath goes off.
You'll have to be careful.
That's when the assassination is due to happen.
- Got that? - Got it, Master.
His Excellency, governor Li.
Sir, the foreigners are saluting you.
Very good.
Your Excellency.
- The film. - Give it to me.
Now.
Foon, Iron Foot, let's go!
- Climb over the top! - Yes, Master!
Foon! Stand on my shoulders.
You're learning fast. Iron, look behind you.
Right, let's get moving.
- Master, Iron can't keep up with us. - Yes, I can.
Who's that?
Pyramid.
Iron Foot, don't move.
Let's get them.
Kick the head.
Be careful! Head for the tower.
I'm fine, but I'm worried about Iron Foot.
Prepare the rifle.
Watch out for the hammers!
I'm trying to!
Master, did you see that?
Why are you so excited? Be careful!
Master, I've been injured.
Master, where's Foon?
He's injured. See if you can help him.
Right. Get out of my way. Brother Foon!
I'm here, on my back!
On your right. Now your left! Behind you!
- Foon seems to be injured. - Brother Foon!
Hey, Yan! Don't be an idiot, come back here.
Yan, you forgot to bring the medicine chest.
Come back here!
The camera is pointed this way.
It could ruin all our plans. I'll go and check.
That Russian's coming. What will we do?
I'm going.
- And me? - Watch things here.
Yeah, right.
- Be careful, daughter. - Don't worry, Uncle.
Daughter?!
Why is she still calling me Uncle?
Brother, are you all right?
- Sure, go and help Master. - Sure, take care.
Leave the flag here. He's still not experienced enough.
"The Invincible Chiu Tim-ba"
Peony, why were you filming us earlier?
What's wrong? Do you have something to hide?
- What exactly do you know? - We both know what's going on here.
Here I come!
Chiu Tim-ba!
Wong Fei-hung, I'm going to be the champion. Get him!
Let's go.
So simple! We nearly have the trophy. Come on!
Chiu Tim-ba, stop dreaming!
Wong Fei-hung, I'm going to devour your lion.
I'll bite you to death!
No way.
Kill him!
Tell them that I want a good fight, but no killing.
I'll swallow you!
Wong Fei-hung, you won't beat me. Smash the tower!
Master, I'll help you.
Grab the tail.
Iron Foot, we have to stop the big lion.
Surround them.
- Iron Foot, roll over! - Got it.
Iron Foot, the big lion, let's go!
Keep them away from our lion!
The tower, come on!
Give me a banner!
Be careful!
Master, what now?
The Russian and Cousin Yee! There must be something wrong.
Master, here I come!
Master, that lion is trying to knock down the tower!
Look out! Here comes Chiu himself!
You stupid idiot! Why didn't you get out of the way?
Master, there's one more!
I'll try to smash the lion head.
Master, let me!
And another one!
Destroy the tower!
That camera was a gift from me.
Now I'm asking you to return it.
Give it back!
A medicine chest?
It was a decoy.
Why did you betray me?
I didn't betray you, the camera betrayed you when it filmed you.
Peony, I can't let you go!
Even if you stop me, your plan cannot succeed any more.
Do you remember what I once told you? You have to go with the changes.
Years ago, the Hans detested being ruled by the Manchus
and now you're used to it.
And in 200 years time, you'll be used to being ruled by foreigners.
China should be ruled by Chinese. We have to work out our own problems.
We don't need you foreigners getting involved.
I'm afraid I'll have to kill you.
Cousin Yee!
- Cousin Yee, don't worry... - Don't move!
- Brother, I'll save you! - Go away.
I'll save you.
Cut it out! I'm better at saving.
- Don't worry. - Stop arguing.
What now?
Cut the lantern's ribbon.
Damn! This thing isn't steady.
Iron, are you all right?
Master, look, the lantern!
Catch!
- Master, you need a lion head. - Quick, give it to me.
I've got it.
- Iron Foot, catch. - Right.
Where did it go?
It's stuck up there.
Come on, let's get it.
The firecracker's going to go off any minute. What do I do?
Bring that back here!
- Iron, throw me the lion head! - Yes, Master!
Don't move.
Don't move. Drop it.
Don't look!
I wish your view of history had been different, but it's all too late now.
Go and give them some sort of explanation.
Please stop! Master Wong, please stop.
If you kill me,
hundreds of workers at my factory will lose their jobs!
Spare a thought for all those poor workers.
I've lost everything. Give me a second chance.
A second chance?! Forget it!
Many people have suffered because of the likes of you.
Take him away before I change my mind. Go on!
Master, are you all right?
Apparently the man they shot dead was a spy working for the Japanese.
This proves what they have long suspected about the man's identity.
I see now. We should tell His Excellency.
Go on.
Thank you, sir.
- Iron Foot, the trophy! - Yes!
Your Excellency, the competition is over. I hope you're satisfied.
But unfortunately, the lantern was destroyed in the fight.
And we cannot say just who the winner is.
I have the trophy.
But who is the loser and who is the winner?
This Lion King Competition has caused many deaths.
We are all losers.
In life the only ones who win are the pure of heart
and it's up to us to pass on that message to all our people.
Only the wisdom and great courage of our people
can make our country strong again.
"The Lion King"
How much has this gold trophy really cost us?
Perhaps Your Excellency would consider that.
I'll give the trophy to Your Excellency as a souvenir.
Good-bye!
Wong Fei-hung?
