I've mastered the 4th Level of Buddha's Palm kung fu
I miss Sister and Kim Fei
Take me to them
Silly girl!
If you go, you'll
Run into your father
I'm going
- Take care, Master - Thanks
Still watching TV?
Your master's leaving
Is "Buddha's Palm" real?
It's just a movie
How can it be real?
Master
When will you take me down there?
When you grow up
I'll take you
- Cho Tat-wah! - Dad!
Lost again?
You're already heavily in debt
Take care of it
Or it'll take care of you
If you don't pay what you owe
You'll die a terrible death!
Dad, it's starting
Hurry...
You can't go on like this
You've made it!
Yin, don't worry
There are guns aimed at you
They're holding Ka Leung hostage
Let's go and rescue him
It's just a life for a life
Do we have time?
It's already 10:50
Someone in a white raincoat
Went in, then left
No one came and went all day
Isn't that strange?
Someone shot himself in the toilet!
Dad!
Dad...
Dad, is that you?
You came back as a frog so soon?
I'll take you home
Mom...
Dad was killed by that guy called Crazy
I heard him tell Dad
"Take care of it, or it'll take care of you"
And he said
"Or you'll die a terrible death"
It's true!
Dad was a cop, he wouldn't kill himself
He wouldn't!
Mom!
Dad didn't die
He turned into a frog
See, it's really him
Be good, obey Grandma
Such a big frog
It's ruined my new shoes
What's wrong?
Something hit me!
Am I bleeding?
Damn it!
I'll cut your balls off, or my name isn't Crazy!
No one came and went all day
Isn't that strange?
Think of a way to look inside
And see what's going on
You're here!
Yin, don't worry
There are guns aimed at you
They're holding Ka Leung hostage
Why did you kill my master?
Sugar cane!
Crisp and sweet!
Come and get it!
Don't waste things!
So cute and plump
Beautiful fish balls!
You know what to do
Good business for you!
I get first pick!
- Here you are - Thank you
- Fresh sugar cane - Take some
One each...
What? You don't know me?
Quit staring
Your dad still owes me money
I'll break you in half
Like a sugar cane
Take him to a doctor
Goodbye
- Where are you going? - Come back and help me!
Fantastic!
It's really big!
Bigger than your mom's!
If we could just see the girl
Take it in with her own fair hands...
That would be brilliant!
Let's wait
She could be a hag
Let's go
Stone it to death
Bury it alive
We did that
Try to drown it
Let's...
Electrocute it!
Pervert!
Nothing
How come?
We need water
Let's get some
Just pee on it
Okay...
Oh no!
Where's my thing?
What?
It's right there
No, this thing!
Really?
You dare play on my turf?
Which gang do you belong to?
Well?
I'll have to beat you up
Who says this is your turf?
I'll take you on one to one
You cocky bastard!
Kill him first
Enough talk
What's your rush?
Let me find out first
No more showing off
Tell me or I'll kill you
You want to fight? Give me my knife!
Yes, Boss!
Here's your knife!
It's fake! Go!
Let's go!
Watch the stall; I'll get some more cane
Have you seen it?
Grandma won't let me go out
Too bad
There's an American wrestler in it
He has a fight with Ma Wing Jing
It's so exciting!
Really?
He uses his Cobra Lock on Ma
Ma turns, hook kicks...
Who wins?
Ma Wing Jing, of course!
Mom, watch the stall
Come back here!
She's gorgeous
Just like a kung fu movie heroine
Look! She smiled at me
How can she see you?
She just looked this way
Look...
See...
Everyone, today
Is a celebration
Let me demonstrate for you
My Butterfly Knives form
First, though, some gifts
Come and visit my school
I'll make you healthy and fit
Come and see us
You're a great drummer
Come and see us.
Hung Gar style!
Harder!
Didn't you eat dinner?
Harder!
Here it is
Gok's Martial Arts School
Let's go in!
- You're sure about this? - Go!
You have to train harder
Wai!
Where did you learn that?
From watching 'Boxer From Shantung'
Watching kung-fu films all day!
It's all fake!
They fight and fight, but no one dies!
That actor Chan Koon Tai doesn't know
Hung Gar style at all!
Practice your horse stance in the corner!
- Dad? - What?
Some new students are here
What do you want to learn?
The Butterfly Knives
Why?
For rev -
To respect our country
To glorify Chinese Martial Arts
Good
You?
I want to learn drumming!
Drumming?
Yes, to continue this beautiful tradition
So Cheung Chau will become famous throughout Asia
And even in Africa and Europe!
Do you know the rules?
Read them aloud
One, respect our master
Two, protect our country
Three, help the weak
Four, always help others
Five, pay promptly
Good!
Daughter, fetch the Knives
Here, Dad
These knives have a story
My Master gave them to me
Some day I'll tell you the story
For now, just hold them
Train hard
Daughter, register them
You're Master's daughter
What's your name?
I'm called Nam
How old are you?
I just want to know
If you're older than I am
So I can address you properly
Just call me Nam
Nam, I'm Ming
They call me "Fishball Ming"
He is Fan
How many lessons a week?
Two
Only two?
Two isn't enough for kung fu
Make it five
Two is fine for drumming
I'll learn kung-fu too
So, five
She didn't ask you to learn kung fu!
I'll do it to keep you company
No need!
You don't need to sell sugar cane any more?
Oh, no!
I must have electrocuted my thing
Why?
I was this close to my Heroine
But I didn't get aroused
I must have killed the nerves
That can be serious
I'm in big trouble!
What if I become impotent?
Come on
Catch the morning show
You'll be fine
Really?
Trust me
You get aroused when you're near girls?
You don't?
Well?
Sugar cane
It works great!
I told you so!
Great idea
Why all those fancy movements?
It's just a Unicorn Dance
Just wave it like this
Idiot!
Start drumming!
Good business!
- For you - Thanks...
Sugar cane?
What's your problem?
Staring at me all day
Come to the Temple tonight if you dare
You should go all the way down
I split my pants, so I'll just go halfway
The winner will work for me
The loser will mend my pants
It's a no-holds-barred match
Curly
What's your favorite technique?
The Mantis Fist
Let's see it
Good!
- Skin Head - Here!
What's your style?
9-step Pak Mei
Let's see it
Good...
Mantis Fist versus 9-step Pak Mei
Start! We'll watch from up there
What are you doing?
Fight!
What are you doing?
Choy Li Fut? Mantis Fist? Pak Mei?
Where are your styles now?
Clobber him!
Arm lock!
His head...
Are you all right?
- Again? - Oh, no...
It's not bleeding...
Damn it!
Come and fight me if you dare
Hiding like a turtle
Go to hell!
I'll cut off your balls or my name isn't Crazy
Useless fools!
I asked you to find him
Over 10 years ago
Do you want him to crack my head open?
Bastards! It's outrageous!
Carry on!
How weird
Yes, she disappeared
Come with me tonight
What are you playing at?
I'm practicing the "Golden Fire Eyes" magic
When I master it
I'll be able to see ghosts
Where is it?
Come on
What is this place?
It should be here
This is getting scary
Let's go
Who would live here?
Fan, what is this place?
Are you sure it's here?
Who would live here?
I told Mom I'd be home for diner
We'll come another time
Are you all right?
She must be a ghost!
No way
Think, why would
A girl like that live there?
Last night when I fell
- You know what I saw? - What?
An abandoned grave
Overgrown, broken open
I wanted to get closer
But a long-haired girl in white
Floated towards me
Then, in a puff of smoke, she became a fox, and
Entered the grave, then I shat myself
And the fox is named Wu Kan
Trying to trick me?
And get in my way?
Let's go and see Master
Have him fix your arm
You mean, fix your nose
Forget your Heroine, she hates you
Go and get it fixed
Or it will shrivel!
Your nose will rot!
Your arm will fall off!
Your face will shatter!
You won't be able to peel cane!
And you to squeeze fish balls!
It's those kung-fu movies
You think you're kung-fu stars?
Here
Starting fights
You think you're so great
Just because you know a few moves
I tell you
Those films are all fake
No way, Master
Who says?
That director...
Chang Cheh
In all his films
They fight until their guts fall out
Cut off his arm? He becomes the 'ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN'!
Their guts spill out
They hold them in and keep fighting
Isn't that ridiculous?
The worst is that one
Starring Ti Lung and David Chiang...
Something like ven...
`VENGEANCE'
Yes, that
The whole thing is about revenge
What a bad example for kids!
And Chang Cheh won a Best Director prize!
You all like to watch them
How can you not turn bad?
Wrap his arm!
I'll tell you about my knives
Does it hurt?
A bit
I want some, too
You've got too many cuts
Then rub it on between them
Wait a moment
My Master gave me these
Long ago, at a martial arts tournament
He challenged a master of
the 9-ringed Sword
But...
My Master...
My Master lost
The 9-ringed Sword became more famous
He felt guilty
But it wasn't the Butterfly Knives' fault
His own skills failed them
So these became
Our heirloom
To remind us
Not to assume we're the best
Understand?
Yes!
So train hard!
995...996...997...
998...999...1000
- Your turn - Why?
You think I'm retarded?
A kid can't kick that hard
You must have kicked it
Thanks
Sweet, crisp and big!
You?
Fighting again?
- Let me - No need
What's up? Looking for me?
Have some fishballs
Dad told me to collect the fees
You're overdue
I see
I only have some small change
I didn't mean to peek
I was lost
And I saw your home
There was a light upstairs
So I climbed the tree
That's when I saw you
But I didn't see anything
Really!
Are you a ghost?
You live with them?
Is that a nunnery?
So what?
What's your name?
Why should I tell you?
Then
I'll come to ask you tonight
- You dare? - Wait and see
It's Decimator, how's that?
Decimator, I'm Fan
As in "fanatic"
What's your phone number?
I don't have one
So how do I find you?
I'll write letters
And deliver them myself
Mail it to the store down there
Give me a hand
You're writing to the ghost?
Just burn her some offerings
You won't help?
Give me back my swimming trunks
Bring it here
Thanks
I'm done
"When I first saw you
I fell in love"
No! Too direct!
But you did!
Make it less obvious
More romantic
Think!
I've got it!
You read, I'll write
"A young couple, lacking-
Too fast
Okay, slowly...
"A young couple-
How do you spell "couple"?
Look!
Well?
What do we do now?
How this:
"When a peach ripens,
It's sweet and juicy
Every man who sees it
Will be overcome with passion
I long for a peach.
Is yours ripe yet?"
- Juicy! No... - I'm just fantasizing.
Don't you ever do that?
Here are all the movies we've shown
Thanks, Mr. Kew
Take your time
There are so many
These synopses will last a lifetime
Look at this
What is it?
999 MYSTERY MURDER
That's an old film
Almost 10 years ago
Starring Cho Tat-wah, Lin Fung
When it played, his Dad-
My dad was murdered!
Why won't anyone believe me?
Dinner at 7
Then we'll see something exciting at 10
I'll pick you up; where do you live?
That's it! Attack!
You're too weak!
Stance, roll, sweep!
Beat him up!
Just stab him!
Chop! Yes! Chop!
You're too violent!
You don't like this?
How about a soda?
I'll buy you a soda
Or else we can go and catch crabs
I'll call you...
And to think I bought a new hat
Again?
Don't just stand there!
Am I bleeding?
Go! Find him!
What are you doing here?
So Crazy killed your dad
No wonder you hate him
You believe me?
Of course
This is no joking matter
Everyone hates Crazy
Everyone wants him dead
You have to believe me
But is there any proof?
I saw him crush my dad to death!
Crush?
You won't understand
He killed my dad
I must avenge Dad
But you'll be in trouble
You better think it over
I'll break his head
No one will know
Let me do it! I hate him, too
- Really? - Yes
Give it to me!
Don't just stand there
Shine that light around
Look everywhere
Why are you pointing it there?
The rock came from there
What's wrong?
It hurts...
This was worse...
Where'll you go tonight?
I'll meet Hou
Hou
Can you take me to this movie?
Sure
I said it was well written
Mr. Kuen
One, please
Choose it yourself
Isn't 'ROMEO AND JULlET' showing today
They changed it
What?
Too bad
That was my first movie
I'll take you when it shows again
I love the actress
Olivia Hussey
You sent such nice pictures
You like them?
I'll ask Mr. Kew for some more
Don't forget
Why do you live there?
When I was born, Dad was poor
A fortune-teller said
My birth stars clashed with his
So I was sent here
Do you know this plant?
Ghost Needles
Good for arthritis
And this?
No
Chicken Droppings Vine
Makes good preserves
You're just like a little old lady
What?
I have some ointment
No, thanks
You've always been here?
Yes, my Master is nice
She lets me study
But not go out to play
So you have no friends
I do, you've seen him
I have?
Will you be a...
Nun?
Maybe
Look
I have to go back
Lend me your jacket
Thanks for the birthday gift
Birthday gift?
I don't know my birthday
I want it to be today
When can I see you?
The day after tomorrow
You changed your hair style
When can I see you again?
Timetable of funerals : July
Fan, you're so compassionate
And still so young
It's nothing to be sad about
Will you come to the burial?
Seats K15 and K16
We'll stuff the bean
Into the rat's ass
And let it go
The bean will expand
And it can't shit
Then it will go insane
With constipation
We'll let it kill its whole family
And collect the bodies
Who told you this?
My Grandma
She says it's a lost art
Try it and see
You try it
You!
You beat us last time
You, come here
He said you're the worst
I'll answer for myself
Leave my guys out of it
Good, come with me
- Will you be okay? - Yes
- Are you okay? - Well?
- Cigarette? - Here
- Where's the bean? - Where?
Go
You're really okay?
What's wrong with your butt?
You're really okay?
One, watch the hands; Two, the feet
Watch these moves
Snow on the Hill Top
Rhino looks at Moon
Chain of Sleeping Dragons
Fishball Ming!
Come and show me
Come on!
Ready? Snow on the Hill Top
Rhino Looks at Moon
Chain of Sleeping Dragons
Stop!
Stand up!
What kind of stance is that?
That's not Hung Gar style
Give me those
You watched the film 'HUNG GAR AND WlNG CHUN'
And got your stances mixed up
I told you, those movies are all lies!
The Hung Gar and Wing Chun styles are separate
The movie is wrong!
It's all mixed up and meaningless
- Master - What?
That movie just opened yesterday
And you've already seen it?
What?
You dare interrupt...
When I'm talking?
Practice the horse stance for two hours
If you dare watch those movies...
And learn those mixed-up moves...
I'll break your legs
Deep horse stance, all of you!
Until you get it right
What's wrong with you?
I haven't been able to crap in days
I'm leaving early
Is Ming okay?
He looked ill
Him?
Yes, he's ill
But...
He'll feel better if you ask him
I want to ask you
Why do you learn kung-fu?
It's a normal hobby for boys
Why?
Nothing
You don't seem the type
To be learning drumming
And Butterfly Knives
You're a girl; why do you learn?
I don't know
Dad made me
He wants to glorify Martial Arts
He watches too many movies
He thinks you're like a kung fu movie Heroine
My mom was a real heroine
She's senior to my dad
Her Grandfather was the founder of Yang style Tai Chi
Dad really loved Mom
But she died young
After giving birth to me
You must be a real expert
I guess
Hey
Do you have a girlfriend?
It's gone
Are you free tomorrow?
Why did this happen?
What happened?
You don't know?
Ming went crazy at home
He started biting his whole family
His brother called the ambulance
Grandma, I'm going
I bought two tickets for the 5:30 show
Fishball Ming!
You okay?
The doctor says I have rabies
I'll be staying here for a while
We shouldn't play with rats any more
Rabies?
Why were you so worried?
No reason
Don't tell Heroine
I'll write to her myself
Get some rest
I'm leaving
You know what?
I think I'm in love with Heroine
I used to get aroused when I was near her
Now, it happens
When I just think about her
I wonder if that's love?
I think so
Don't think too much
Take care of yourself
Have you seen her lately?
Heroine? No
I'm going; take care
What's the hurry?
It's getting dark...
She coming out soon
It's that ghost again?
Evil
Why did you come?
To see you
You hurt your hand
I'll take you away
Sister, are you in the shower?
Yes
Is it a boy or a girl?
Dear son... dear son...
I'm fine...
Cheers...
Damn it!
You wrote all those?
They sound like the stories of films
Really?
Life is like a play
Just say you copied them
Who cares, as long as they're convincing?
Who's convinced?
I think it's disgusting
It's all from my heart!
Why are you holding a sword?
You're too weak. I'll teach you the Tai Chi Sword style
Great, Hung Gar is too hard!
Tai Chi is better...
I'll chop off your hand!
You won't. I was just in hospital
Don't wet your pants
It's Sugar Cane Boy
I'll help you
We'll go back to the cinema
What is that?
I said, what is that?
You're the one who shot me!
You killed my dad! I must avenge him!
I killed your dad?
He killed himself
Everyone knows that
He lost all his money
And the cops were investigating him
He was afraid, you idiot!
No, he was murdered!
He was a decorated police officer
You killed him!
Listen, sonny
You think killing is...
Like it is in the movies?
I never even killed an ant
I saw you crush a frog!
When? You've gone crazy...
Thinking about your dad
Okay
Here's your chance, kill me
Kill me
What?
I will, one day
What?
You'll see
You wouldn't dare!
If I didn't have my kid with me
I'd cut your balls off, or my name isn't Crazy!
He remembered I killed...
A frog 10 years ago
Did you hear? Fan is dueling Crazy
What? When?
In two nights, at the Temple
Fan!
What?
He's been punching the bag
He says he's dueling Crazy
- A duel? - Yes
You can punch a bag, but fighting a duel?
Think you'll win after just a few lessons?
I just don't want to be afraid of him any more!
You're going to die!
Let me fight in your place
Or ask Heroine
Leave me alone
Beat me, and we will
Stay away
Why did you hit him so hard?
He knows
But I don't
Don't call me "Heroine" any more
Turtle, aren't you bored
Being in your shell?
Have you been to Hong Kong?
Have you seen the world?
Check
Mayor, the kid trains in Hung Gar
Master Gao is great
Last year at the
Lion Dance, he made it...
So vicious
Crazy studied Choy Li Fut style
He's much more experienced
But still
Accidents will happen
Yes, haven't you heard
Youth excels at fists; experience at weapons?
Oh, yeah?
What are the 5 styles of Southern Boxing?
There are 5?
Of course!
Hung, Lau, Choy, Lee, Mok
Heard of them?
So which is better?
I'll tell you
Hung Hei-kwun founded Hung Gar
Chan Heung founded Choy Li Fut
So are you betting on Crazy
Or the kid?
Yeah
Checkmate!
Master knows about us
I may never see you again
Will you take me away tonight?
I'll wait at the pier
Eat more
Good
Eat more
More
I'm going, Grandma
Take this, it's going to rain
Come home early; it's Moon Festival
Fan, you've got to win
Fan
You won't lose with these
Looks like Crazy isn't coming
They'll say he's bullying a kid
He just doesn't dare
He's 20 years older
It's harder on him
What the...? Is he drunk?
Maybe it's Drunken Style
Fan! Fight!
What's with Crazy today?
Didn't he eat enough?
After him!
No!
Let him go
I thought you wouldn't come
It's okay, let's go
Where?
To Hong Kong
Fan...
Crazy didn't die!
Crazy...
What?
Nothing. Go
And never come back!
Take care of my Grandma!
I will!
Fan?
Can you come back this Saturday?
I'm busy
Why don't you come here?
I'll tell you when you come
It's urgent
Well, okay
How did this happen?
He died of a brain tumor
Didn't l...
He lost to you on purpose
He couldn't bear to leave his son
He asked someone to tell me
He really didn't kill your dad
All right, half
Son
Have a smoke
I'll never sit and smoke with you
Open
What will you be when you grow up?
I don't know
You must do better than l
Study hard
Be an office worker in Hong Kong
It's a classy job, pays well...
People respect you in a suit
Don't be a Cheung Chau gangster
Yes, we came here to play
I'll never be able to do that again
Don't miss Daddy
It's not such a big deal
Be manly; do great things
You didn't do it
The tumor wasn't caused by the slingshot
I've held two tickets for you
- Thanks - My pleasure
- $7 - Thanks
You know
Hou went to Holland with his dad
Really?
The Temple is quiet
The gangsters all went to Hong Kong
And became killers
Crazy's best fighter, Fo-tan
I saw on TV
He was arrested
Murder; he got almost 20 years
How's your Heroine?
Very well
She wants to have a drink with you sometime
And she apologizes for hurting you
You should see the Tin Hau Festival
You like watching Heroine play drums
How's your ghost?
Oh, her?
She left
She left?
Why?
I don't know
She brought me to a temple
To pray for me
When I came out, she was gone
How frightening
Then I took her turtle
Back to her old nunnery
Perhaps
She just wanted to fly away
Fan, I'll come back for you
I want to see the world
I'll come back for you!
Have you eaten yet?
