Teacher
You've gone beyond mere technique
So use your soul to bring it to perfection
Quick, what is the highest technique?
To have no technique
What do you do when facing an enemy?
I do not see the enemy
Why is that?
The word "I" is but an abstraction
Continue to speak
Combat may be just a game
It must be played seriously
A true martial artist
should not be confined by styles
He must rise above them
When the opponent contracts, I expand
and when he expands
I must let my defense flow with it
Defense and attack must be as one
If the advantage is clearly mine
I don't hit
"it" hits by itself
Yes, the enemy is but an image
Under which he hides himself
Destroying the image will ruin the enemy
The "it" you refer to
is a weapon misured by many
For centuries
even with the advent of firearms
Our Shaolin Temple has remained the same
Tell me the Shaolin commandment 13
With reverence, I recite
A martial artist must be true
to himself, in words and in deed
I am ashamed to say
there was one among us, Han
who could have achieved greatness
but chose to use his skills
to serve his own base ends
in defiance of our beliefs
Our honour must be preserved
Go, take back what I've given him
Yes
I understand
There's someone here to see you. Go with him
Mr Li? My name's Braithwaite
What can I do for you?
It's a matter of great important
Sit down, Mr Braithwaite
Thank You
I say, this is an interesting place
Have some tea
Thank You
I'm here about a martial arts tournament
Mr Han must have invited you
Ah, Han's tournament
It is in our interests to see
you accept the invitation
I'm sorry, Mr Braithwaite
Please, excuse me a minute
Of course
Come, kick at me
Kick
This isn't a show
You must have emotional content
Now try again
I said emotional content
Not anger
Let's try it again
Easy
Now you're relaxed
How do you feel?
Let me think. . .
Don't think, feel
It is like a finger pointing to the moon
If you just look at the finger
You will miss the heavenly glory
Understand now?
When bowing, don't look at yourself
Look at your opponent
Look
That's Han
We shot this in secret
We know he's a former Shaolin student
who turned bad
Behind him is Okata, his bodyguard
and right hand man
He is the man to beat
Here's Okata in a demonstration
Everything here is real
Not many men could take him alone
Recently he has been wearing a scar on his face
We don't know how he got it
This is where you'll be going
an island a long way from here
After the war, the island was found a ruin
Han managed to buy it
What do you know of Han himself?
After building his stronghold
he's been living there like a king
Everyone on the island is his subject
He also recruits many martial artists
The only contact with the outside world
is this touranament held every three years
This was a stewardess, Mary King
found floating in the sea
Of course, it's hard to prove Han did it
but this girl was last seen
at a party aboard Han's private boat
Have you made an on-the-spot investigation?
No
We suspect Han recruits pretty girls
makes them drug addicts
then sells them in world markets
What did the autopsy reveal?
She did not die of drowning
Drugs?
Yes. Injected with an overdose
You haven't enough on him?
We know everything
but we can't prove a thing
That's why we hope you'll go
And get back in one piece with the evidence
We'll give you whatever you need
Electronic equipment, supplies, anything
I won't need anything
Why didn't you send someone with a gun?
Bang! And that's it
No chance at all
Look at this map
Possession of weapons is forbidden
Half of the island is under our jurisdiction
If we have reason to know there are firearms there
we can search the whole place
But Han is clever.
He won't allow a single gun
He's afraid of being assassinated
It would be so easy with a gun
Then I'll have to use my fists
There's a radio transmitter on the island
We'll be monitoring for your signal
And then, you'll move in?
Someone will
Don't get me wrong
We function as gatherers of information
upon which interested parties can act
I see
If there's trouble, I'll call you
Two months ago we sent a female operative there
Her name's May Ling
Here's her photo
If she's still there, she'll be able to help
A drink?
No, thanks
It's a dangerour undertaking
I know
You're really accepting the invitation?
Yes
The last tournament was three years age
I was in the city with your sister
when it happened
I didn't know that
I did not tell you
Han's men were everywhere
Our inn was on the outskirts
We were just about to leave
Not bad
What do you want?
Run
Get her
Hold it
If told, you could have gone and got yourself killed
When you get to the city
But sure to look up her grave
I will
If you were still alive
you wouldn't allow me to do it
I wish I'm doing the right thing
Forgive me
I must leave you for awhile
How about raising the stake?
It's already $1 ,000 a foot, Roper
No guts, eh?
All right
Sorry, Mr Roper isn't around
I'll have him call you back
Good shot
Excuse me, please
I don't think you can make it
Want to bet?
Bet?
The $1 ,750,000 loan was due last Mondy
Wasn't it only $1 ,500,000
You're forgetting the interest
I can't afford such high rates
So wise guy is welshing on us
I have no such intention
So you don't really know the score
Sorry, Roper
Pay, or we've gotta leave some mark on you
Book me a ticket for Hongkong
Right
What've I got in the bank?
$64.43
It's all yours
Sure you won't regret it?
Want to bet?
Foreigners!
Come here
Practice with me
Take everything out for inspection
Stick them up
Looks like he's going somewhere
Is it his passport?
Where's he going?
Hongkong via Hawaii
He's got no right to travel
Watch what you're doing
Assaulting an officer
You've asked for it
A bottle of 7-up
Roper! How are you, man?
Nothing's changed
Am I glad to see you
It's been five years
Six years. Not as long as it seems
Right
What have you been doing?
Hanging on
Is all that luggage yours?
Sure
Same old Roper
You know him?
No
What do you know about this guy Han?
Nothing except he sure knows how to live
We have come a long way
We must show them
Right
It's begun
I bet on the small one
The big one wins
Wait and look
What's your bet?
Exciting, isn't it?
Cut my bets in, okay?
Not with you
- Why not? - I don't like it
I say the small one wins
Fifty dollars on Biggie
You're on
Go on, bite him
He's every sign of a loser
Bite him
I said the small one would win. Right?
Bite him
Any more?
Bite him
I said the small one would win
Of course
And it damned did
It's too lopsided
We're used to it
Do I bother you? How about a match?
Don't waste your time
Afraid of losing your honour?
Never
I could win without fighting
Is that so?
Come on then
Hold it
All right
There's not enough romm here
We'll find a place
There. We'll take a boat across
All right
Why aren't you coming?
I'll get you
You scoundrel
Is that how you win without a fight?
Pull me back
Let that be a lesson to you
Pull me back! I'll get you!
Great
Pull me back
It was a dirty trick
She's nice
Han must have sent her for us
Welcome, come with me
These are our cook's specialties
- I hope you'll like them - Wonderful
Could you tell me something?
Good appetite, indeed
Come over, I want this
The others want this too
Great cooking
I'm going over for a look
Go ahead
I'll have a chat with my friend there
Fine
You're eating nothing but fruit
Don't you like the food?
There's too much grease
We have different tastes
You're acting like our host
Seeing Mr Han is so hospitable
We mustn't let it go to waste
Don't you agree?
Your mind seems to be elsewhere?
Me, elsewhere!
There's so much to eat and drink
Nothing's bothering me
I can tell
I'm telling the truth
What a feast
I'm full, thanks
How do you feel?
Like one having the last supper
You're right
Festivities fill the air
but it can't hide the smell of danger
I feel the same way
It won't be easy to beat all of them
Watch the referee tomorrow
Right
Gentlemen, welcome to our island
I look forward to a tournament
of truly epic proportions
It is held every three years
for the ideal of interweaving different styles
Through long years of rigorous training
We make ourselves artists of the self
We may come from different schools
but we share the same ambition
But tonight, let us sit together
Please indulge in our gratitude
Come in
Mr Williams
For me?
You shouldn't, but thanks anyway
I'll take you
and you
It's been a big day and I'm tired
or I'd want all of you
I understand
You need something for tomorrow's fight
Come in
A gift from Mr Han, Mr Li
Please choose according to your desire
There was a girl at the feast tonight
Which girl?
The owner of this dart
I see what you mean
I will send her to you
To my future
Come in
How do you do?
Lovely. What's happening?
Please choose according to your desire
I want you
A wise decision
I want to talk to you, May Ling
How do you know my name?
Braithwaite. . .
Careful
Have you found anything?
Nothing conclusive
I'm kept in the palace, watched always
I know nothing of Han's activities
But I do know this: people disappear
Who?
The girls. Han summons them at night
and next day they're gone
I know my turn will be soon
Please attend our morning ritual
Wait for me outside
Why aren't you in our uniform?
Hold it
Gentlemen, let the tournament begin
Begin
Great
Want to bet?
Sure
I say Williams will win
I say he'll lose
You're on
Begin
I'll also bet on myself
Your turn now
I'm ready
All right
Coming
Don't worry
It's your turn
All right
Don't disappoint me
If I can't defeat a kid
what'll Han think of me?
Begin
All right
Begin
So it's lost
why is that fellow so useless?
Do you like it here?
Yes, because of you
I don't want to leave this place
Do you mean it?
You know I do
I'll speak to Mr Han tomorrow
Fine
Then I can be near you
Please don't. You have fun at my expense
Where are you going?
To enjoy the night
Nobody is allowed outside
So long
Wait for me here
Who's there?
Someone else outside?
A word before the tournament
Someone wasn't happy with the reception
He went around
and wounded my men last night
This is against our rules
and we won't tolerate it
I won't say who it was just yet
but we will be having a word with him
I must ask you all to remain indoors and not to go out at night
to avoid any unpleasant incidents
As for the guards last night
they must answer for their negligence
Stop
You are shocked, Mr Williams?
Not in the least
Mr Li
It's your turn
You go, Okata
Wood will not hit back
Begin
No dirty tricks
Okata's treachery has disgraced us
I'd like to talk to you. Come to my room
Wonderful
Mr Williams, Mr Han would like you
to see him in his room
Mr Han
You fough well today
Your style is unorthodox
But effective
You enjoy combat, not the art
The winning
We are all ready to win
just as we are born knowing only life
It is defeat that
We must prepare for
I don't waste my time with it
When it comes, I'll face it
Oh? How?
That depends on how it comes
Why did you attack my guards?
It wasn't me
You were the only man outside
I was outside
but I wasn't the only one
You will tell me who else
Suddenly I'd like to leave your island
It is not possible
That's rubbish
So that's your game
When I want to, no one can stop me
Williams will be waiting for me
We'll see him later
I'd like a word to you
All right
This is my weapons room
It's difficult to associate them with today
but all knights share the ideal of strength
because it makes all other values possible
Without the strength to survive
I wonder what would happen to the world?
What's this?
A souvenir
Come on
A guillotine! No thanks
Don't worry
I'm in no hurry to lose my head
Have faith in me
I'm not the trusting kind
It's not easy to develop ruthlessness
It takes a lot of strength
and more not to waver
Such strength comes from faith
Maybe you're right
This way
Our generator room is ahead
Wonderful
You're quite a man
especially with the girls
They're like daughters to me
I see
Sorry
Hello there
There are my bodyguards
You can sure inspire loyalty
Get up
I can get up on my own
Glad to know you
What's that?
Opium
It's against the law
But it's business, like any other business
One goes into business
to make a profit
Our customers only have to buy it once
to become long term patrons
And nobody can take them away
Over there is the communications room
You may wonder why I'm telling you this
I just forgot what you told me
But why did you do it?
I'd like you to represent me in the States
What do you say?
You want me on your team?
You have a way with people
Why are they holed up here?
People who have lost their souls
Island people?
They defied me
I had to punish them
I believe you have sizeable debts
I can still manage
He failed to answer my questions
You really want me to join you?
That's why I brought you here to see Williams
And if I say no?
Let's not misunderstand each other
Please help me. Let me out
Please let me out
Shut up
Run
A snake
Trouble
Don't let him go
Stop
Good
The battle with the guards was superb
To have you as a foe is an honour
My god, this came half an hour age
Get the Colonel! It's urgent!
Well, wake him up
Listen, this is Braithwaite
I don't care who he's with
Get him on the line
Stand over here
Let's see how you handle this problem
What is it?
I was wrong about your friend Williams
How do you know?
We've got the intruder that night
What will you do with him?
Not I ---- You
Release him
A killing a day
soon it will be my turn
Looks like you won't cooperate
That's all right
I'll find you a worthy opponent
Attack
Get them alive
Get him
Get them
Hurry
Don't let them go
A reward for the man who succeeds
Attack
Quickly, move
Quickly
Attack
You killed my sister and defied Teacher
Yes, the enemy is but an image
Under which he hides himself
Destroying the image will ruin the enemy
