- Tang Lung? - Ms Chen Ching-hua
Yes, and why weren't you waiting for me
at the exit gate?
We were early.
I was starving hungry, so I ate a little.
And how is my uncle?
I'm afraid he's not feeling well.
So I came instead.
He didn't write very much about you.
How can you help me?
What can you do?
Hey, don't be so formal, don't worry.
I know that I can help you.
And how can you help me?
You know my problem?
You can tell me later.
But now, please tell me where the toilet is.
[ Light, playful music ]
[ Slow orchestral music]
BMW?
Mustang.
Mmm, it's a Rolls.
[ Chen grunting ]
[ Tires squealing ]
CHEN: Last month my father passed away
and left me this restaurant.
Uncle Wong and the others have helped me out a lot.
Business was very good at first,
but then a big syndicate stepped in.
They're interested in buying my land,
they want me to sell out.
TANG: So, what's the problem?
If you won't sell it they can't buy it,
what can they do?
CHEN: In theory, you are quite right.
But they won't listen to any kind of reason.
I've realized they'll stop at nothing to get my land.
They've got some thugs watching us all the time,
and when customers arrive, these thugs just threaten them,
and scare them all away, we can do nothing.
What can I do?
TANG: You tell the police?
CHEN: Police? [ Scoffs ]
They disappear as soon as the police arrive.
And we can't really ask the police
for 24 hours protection.
[ Sighing ]
Now business is bad, getting worse and worse.
And the workers, how can I pay them?
Also the expenses, I have no money.
They're pressing me, they want an answer right away.
What do I say?
So I wrote to my uncle in Hong Kong.
I thought he would send me a lawyer, but now--
TANG: Hey, hey, so polite.
I told you, I'm here to get you out of this mess.
Ms. Chen, don't worry. Just leave it to me.
I'll get them.
CHEN: Look, there's the headquarters.
That's where they hang out.
- Please sit down. - Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
I rent this apartment.
All the men live at the restaurant.
It's much more convenient.
There's always a room.
If any of them get sick, they can come here.
It's much quieter, you know.
You can stay here now.
Thanks.
You're my uncle's friend, so feel at home.
Anything that you want, tell me.
- Can I use your toilet? - Over there.
[ Light, playful music ]
[ Sighing ]
[ Slow flute music]

It'll soon be New Year.
Everyone in Hong Kong is happy and celebrating.
Do they have New Year here?
I haven't been home for years.
I guess it's changed a lot.
I don't know if I'd like it.
Say, how's the restaurant business doing these days?
Heh, I live way out in the new territories.
And every day I practice martial arts.
- You see? - Watch out!
Restaurants, about the same.
Sit down.
Now here's the key.
The phone number of the restaurant, you see,
is on the back.
The restaurant's not far.
If you get lost just show that card to a taxi driver,
he'll take you there.
Taxi?
They're expensive here.
Say, do you have mini buses here?
- You need money? - Don't worry.
I've got plenty.
In that case, we'd better go right away,
and deposit it in the bank.
Hey, it's much safer to carry it,
and that way, I can look after it much better.
I won't argue. How much you got?
Not much.
Really, not much.
I still say it will be safer in the bank.
Come on.
[ Light, playful music ]
Ah, Ms. Chen, how are you?
This is Mr. Tang, he wants to deposit some money.
Ah ha, my friend.
All your money, let's see it.
This way.
How much do you want to change into our currency?
Come on, how much do you want?
Oh, only $20.
I don't trust this weird foreign money at all.
$20 will do.
[ Light, twinkling music ]
[ Light Italian music ]
That was the bank manager, not a thief.
You must learn to be more polite to people like that.
Not everyone you meet is a criminal.
Also, I know him well, and you've embarrassed me.
The foreigners here are quite friendly, you'll see.
When people smile, you smile back.
It's only right .
And when they put their arm around you,
they're being friendly.
It's okay, you should behave in just the same way.
So remember that.
While you're here just don't be so uptight.
[ Light Italian music ]
Sit down.
[ Slow music]
Make yourself at home.
[ Light Italian music ]
[ Loud whooshing ]
[ Light, playful music ]
Wow.
[ Light, playful music ]
- Huh? - Hello.
Ah, you must be Tang Lung, welcome to Rome.
I'm Ah Quen.
I'm from Ms. Chen's restaurant.
- Oh yes, Ah Quen. - Ha ha, that's right.
Ms. Chen is at the restaurant.
She asked me to come and take you there.
Oh.
Where did you go to just now, huh?
Okay, let's go.
Come on.
[ Slow, mysterious music]
[ Door opening ]
Go on in.
- After you. - Thanks.
Hey there, Tang Lung's here.
Oh.
Tang Lung, this is Uncle Wang.
- Uncle Wang. - Hi there.
I tell you, it's good to see you, man.
- You too. - Sit down, sit down.
- Ah Quen. - Yeah?
- Make some tea. - Sure, right away.
[ Chuckling ]
Well...
Your trip out here.
It's a long flight.
It's alright.
[ Both chuckling ]
Now that you've looked around and seen the sights,
do you like Rome?
Ever since I got off the plane, it's been terrible.
Well, you'll get to like it, I think.
It's ages... since I was there.
How are things in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong?
I'm from the country, not the town.
See, in the country, yee-hee!
- Here, have some tea. - Oh, thanks.
- Come on, drink up. - Yeah.
- Thank you. - Here you are.
All these tables, where are the customers?
- Ah, Tang Lung. - Yeah?
With all these thugs around
nobody dares come in here to eat anymore.
Tang Lung, some more workers are out back.
We've got them training.
Let's go watch them, huh?
Great, fine.
I'll see ya.
[ Man yelling ]
[ Workers shouting and grunting ]
Ah, there is no work.
The whole time they just practice.
- Okay, let's go. - Right.
[ Men grunting ]
Before Mr. Chen had died, they all started learning karate,
so they could deal with those damn thugs.
How 'bout you?
Ah, it's foreign. Mm-mm.
Doesn't interest me.
Foreign or not, if it helps you to look after yourself
when you're in a fight, then you should learn to use it.
It doesn't matter at all where it comes from.
You should realize that.
Nah, my game is Chinese boxing.
Hey, you know Chinese boxing?
- Sure. - Hey, really?
Mm-hmm.
[ Men grunting ]
Take a break.
Hey.
Hey you guys, come over here.
This is Tang Lung.
Hey, introduce yourselves.
I'm Tony.
Jimmy.
Thomas.
- Robert. I have no English name,
- just call me-- - Hello there.
Come over here.
He doesn't look too great to me.
Hey, can you box?
Tang Lung has come from Hong Kong to help us.
You know, he's a great Chinese boxer.
Uh, I just learned a little.
Oh, Chinese boxing.
I have heard that Chinese boxing lacks any real power.
Well you only lack power when you're a beginner.
See?
[ Chuckling ]
Well then, how do you develop any power?
By putting your whole body behind it, like this.
Put your hip into it.
[ Chuckling ]
Come on, now will you show us?
How do you get your hip into it?
- You'll get hurt. - Huh, what?
You're kidding.
Ah, come on.
They're all wearing some protective padding.
You can't hurt them with your Chinese boxing,
come on, come on, let's go.
Okay, get ready.
Alright then, you. Come on.
[ Loud slapping ]
Hey, hold on, hey.
We've got customers out in the restaurant,
go and change your clothes, quickly.
Let's go, come on, back to work.
- Get changed. - Right.
- Quickly. - Come on.
Ah Quen, excuse me,
- the john? - The toilet?
Over there, can't you see the sign?
Oh, thanks.
[ Light, playful music ]
'scuse me.
[ Light, playful music ]
[ Mysterious music]
- Out. - Huh?
Get the hell outta here. Now.
Come on.
- Get out. - Why?
Here's why.
- What's your decision? - Uncle Wong!
Hey?
Come on out here quick, the foreigner's here again!
Stop, no! Stop!
Alright, I'll tell you.
If you don't give us an answer by tonight,
we're gonna tear this place into little pieces.
Oh, no, no, no.
Mr. Ho, please give us a break.
Tell your boss we need some more time.
Ask him to give us a few days more.
You want more time?
You stupid bastard.
Let's have it, so sell, or we'll make you.
[ Loud smacking ]
[ Men yelling ]
No don't fight, don't fight,
we'll only wreck our own restaurant.
Remember, we'll be back for your answer.
Let's go.
[ Mysterious music]
Oh, excuse me.
[ Mysterious music]
- Watch where you're going. - Oh sure.
It's so crazy, you don't know these people.
Why did Uncle send you?
[ Men groaning ]
Tang Lung, they're young, very inexperienced.
You mustn't blame them, it'll be alright, see?
[ Indistinct chatter]
It's lucky they weren't armed.
We could've got hurt.
In broad daylight?
They don't have the guts.
All they can do is crawl around in the dark like rats.
Heh, if Uncle Wong hadn't stopped me,
I'dve practiced my karate on them
and finished them off with one chop.
[ Chuckling ]
These are bold words.
What good is your karate against guns?
[ Chuckling ]
It's better than Chinese boxing.
He let somebody shove him all over the place.
- And then he apologized! - Yeah.
[ Chuckling ]
MAN: Customers.
MAN 2: Hey, come on.
- CHEN: Please sit down. - MAN: This table please.
- Sit down, please. - Here.
Sorry sir.
Menu.
May I help you?
May you help me?
Sure.
I'd luck some Chinese spare ribs.
Chinese spare ribs?
You mean to tell me
you don't know what Chinese spare ribs are?
Mm-mm.
[ Chuckling ] Well, let me show you, man.
[ Grunting ]
[ Men laughing ]
MAN: Hey, what's going on?
- [ Men laughing ] - [ Glass breaking ]
What are you doing?
You know what we're doin', don't they?
You all shoulda left this restaurant.
Quick, go tell Uncle Wong.
Help get them outta here!
Come on!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Be careful, be careful!
Don't wreck our own place.
Don't let them get you riled up.
It's no use.
You, you wanna step outside?
- Sure. - Good.
Right.
[ Rhythmic, mysterious music]
- Tang Lung. - Come on!
[ Mysterious music]
[ yelling ]
- [Yelling ] - [ Loud smacking ]
Jimmy, Jimmy.
- Is he okay? - Jimmy?
- MAN: Jimmy, Jimmy. - MAN 2: Jimmy.
Chinese boxin'.
[ Men laughing ]
Bastard, we'll get 'em in the end.
If only I knew how.
He'd see Chinese boxing can beat any of his barbaric tricks.
- I'll go. - Wait.
[ Slow, suspenseful music]
We'll show him Chinese boxing.
- Yeah, Chinese boxing. - Yeah.

[ Workers chuckling in approval ]
You did a great job man, beautiful, great.
Hey, don't be so overjoyed.
Now that they've been whipped,
they'll be screaming for revenge.
So what?
With Tang Lung on our side, now those damn thugs
won't be so keen next time.
[ Indistinct murmuring ]
You men understand nothing.
You should remember, there's a saying,
"Thugs are safest at home."
This is their home, where we are now.
We're all foreigners.
All around us is their territory.
Now we must be even more careful.
They'll be back, and we must be ready for them.
MAN: Don't worry, now our dragon has entered.
WONG: You'd all better listen to me,
they'll be back for their revenge.
- Now come on, fellas. - We can discuss it later.
Tang Lung it's late and you're tired,
- let's go home now. - Alright.
[ Playful whistling ]
You want to eat?
Nope, you see I wanna get up early for some training.
Can I buy a gun around here?
Sure, anyone can buy one, it's no problem.
Hmm.
[ Slow, peaceful music]
Hey, what's that?
- They're darts. - What, darts?
[ Chuckling ]
Hey come on, dig in, huh?
Hey, what are you, what do you think?
What's up, you're hungry?
Well if you men think you're as good as Tang Lung,
you can have it.
But right now, you had better go and practice.
Huh, it's for Tang Lung?
Well, why didn't you say?
Tang Lung.
It's always Tang Lung.
MAN: Hey, Tang Lung, good morning.
Come on have a seat.
Hey come on, come on down,
we've got somethin' for ya.
- Tang Lung, hi. - Hi.
- Morning. - Nice to see you.
Tang Lung, this little meal
I made especially for our new champion.
Go ahead, go on, eat up.
Hey, Tang Lung, your kung fu is just terrific.
Yeah, who's your teacher in Hong Kong?
Hey, take a look.
You see?
[ Tony grunting ]
Little Dragon Finds His Path.
The Dragon Whips His Tail.
We'll beat the foreign bastards.
Hey, you said that Chinese boxing was weak.
[ Men chuckling ]
Hey, Tang Lung, you were too fast yesterday.
We couldn't see what you were doing.
Hey, will you show it to us again?
- Yeah, come on. - Yeah, let's see it.
- Yeah, come on man. - Yeah, why not?
Let's see the great master, if he can really do it again.
Hey, come on.
Tang Lung, let's see it again.
[ Men chattering excitedly ]
Move back, move back, give him room, come on.
Everyone says you're fast and very powerful,
but I didn't see those things last night.
But you told us you've got to learn
how to use your hips and legs properly.
Well then, let's see you do it.
Hey, you keep quiet, if you watch you'll learn something.
So just stay out of the way.
Yeah, come on, yeah.
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
[ Men gasping ]
- Get him outta there. - Here, pick him up,
pick him up.
You alright, you okay?
You see that kick man?
Great, that was a great kick man.
Really, what a fighter.
Tang Lung, do me a favor.
How about teaching me that?
Hey, hey, I thought I heard you say
physical training was quite useless, huh?
That was Japanese karate.
- Oh. - This is Chinese, understand?
[ Chuckling ] Chinese.
Then we'll all give up karate.
Yeah.
We'll learn to go all in.
Yeah!
WONG: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
There are customers, come quickly.
- Aww. - Come on,
let's get changed, okay.
- After you. - Great.
Come on, fellas.
Did you like the workout?
Pretty good, yeah?
Not bad.
[ Men chattering and laughing ]
- Tang Lung, my teacher. - No.
I have to go now.
Later we can get together and talk, huh?
Hello.
Is there anything I can do?
Watch out for those thugs, I know they'll be back.
[ Playful whistling ]
[ Suspenseful music]
My boss wants to see ya.
Does he know?
It looks like we'd better go.
Shut up, now move.
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
[ Mysterious music]
See ya.
Only you were good for nothing.
You, didn't you have a gun?
What I like, I get. And I want that restaurant!
Yes boss, yes boss.
Haven't you wasted enough time?
Ah, but I, I always do my best.
Then how come you failed?
I found out that they are helped
by a man called Tang Lung.
A man?
Only one man?
Ah, but this man knows Chinese kung fu.
Kung fu?
[ Rhythmic drumming ]
[ Exhaling ]
[ Joints cracking ]
- Morning. - Morning.
Sit down.
Eat.
In Rome, you won't often find such food.
Is it okay?
It's better in Hong Kong.
Sure, I know that.
But I cooked it myself.
And you?
I've eaten, want some more?
Hey, after you've eaten I'll show you around
the sights of Rome.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
[ Men grunting ]
BOSS: Wait.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
Over there.
[ Workers yelling ]
Move, move, come on.
Where's the man from Hong Kong named Tang?
Speak up!
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
Try it, try it.
Try it.
Come on, you better tell me where he is.
Don't know.
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
HO: Come on, where is he?
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
Okay, okay, that's enough, I'll tell you,
he's coming here.
Well, where is he now?
Look, these monuments are all ancient Roman relics.
This is...
What's wrong?
Our slums are just like this.
Come on.
[ Light Italian music ]
This garden was built by an ancient king for his queen.
The time and money it took to build all this,
I think he must have really loved her.
Are you married?
[ Water rushing ]
How do you like this place?
It's a big waste for all of this.
In Hong Kong I would build on it, make money.
We'd better get back.
[ Playful whistling ]
[ Chen gasping ]
Close the door.
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
Better cool it, baby.
Bring him down.
Chinese kung fu.
[ Loud slapping ]
Oh, you must understand the boss.
He really has very good intentions.
With a man like you, he can appreciate your talent.
Oh, what rippling muscles.
We don't want to kill you.
Oh, here's a plane ticket.
Just go back to Hong Kong for a few years.
You wouldn't want any trouble, huh?
Alright, take him out,
but be careful with the gun in public.
Yeah boss.
Come on, let's go.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
Go and see if anybody's around.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
Put your hands down.
- Come on! - [ Loud smacking and groaning ]
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
Listen, listen!
Boss, that bastard got away!
Go and get him, but no guns.
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
Get him!
[ Loud whooshing ]
Get him!
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
[ Loud whooshing ]
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
[ Loud whooshing ]
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
[ Loud whooshing ]
Let me get him.
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
Get him.
[ Loud yelling and grunting ]
Get him.
[ Quiet creaking ]
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
Get him.
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
Go on.
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
Mama mia.
[ Yelling and grunting ]
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
Come on Ms. Chen, why don't you quit
while you can still afford to?
You better give up.
We'll give you a good deal.
There's no way you could lose by accepting it, huh?
How about it?
Hello.
[ Men yelling and grunting ]
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
[ Men groaning ]
Let him know,
if I see him here again,
he won't leave alive.
Tell him!
He told us not to come and cause anymore trouble.
Get them out.
Hurry up and pick up, everybody.
Yeah, go on.
Go on, get outta here, you jerks.
Come on.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
[ Yelling ]
Hey, Tang Lung, be careful, they're customers.
Oh, welcome.
Come in, come on, come on.
Welcome.
[ Men laughing ]
Hey, come on now.
Give them service.
[ Suspenseful music]
Now you see, I told you to be patient.
You wouldn't listen,
now look at us.
You young kids asked for it.
So what now?
Let's fight, we can handle him.
You're really crazy.
This is no time for jokes.
I know, but...
I know how you feel,
but you must realize, they also want Tang Lung.
Those thugs will do anything to stop him.
You don't mean?
Keep Tang Lung quiet.
Tomorrow is New Year's.
I'll explain it all to him then, but--
If he refuses?
I know he's stubborn.
You must try to convince him that it's the best thing to do.
We lose him, we've no chance of keeping the restaurant.
Ah, we'll see.
We have to wait a while, take care.
If there is no other way, we can just cooperate.
But there's one thing, we will never sell the restaurant.
You, you decide for me.
Don't worry.
Oh, it's late, you better go talk to Lung, huh?
[ Clock ticking ]
Tomorrow is New Year, is your restaurant open?
Oh, that's good.
Then we can go to the countryside
and practice some kung fu.
[ Suspenseful music]
Remind Quen to bring some padding along with him tomorrow.
[ Loud popping ]
Firecrackers?
They're banned in Hong Kong.
Must be some Chinese here.
[ Clock ticking ]
I have to tell you, you must leave Rome.
Leave Rome?
You have to.
We don't want you to leave, especially me,
but you can't stay here.
Do you understand me?
No, I don't.
[ Clock ticking ]
Oh Lung, why don't you--
- [ Loud popping ] - [ Chen yelling ]
- Those bangs scare you? - Come quickly,
we'll go to the airport.
Why?
Those men will try.
No, my place is here with you.
I know, but you must leave.
[ Suspenseful music]
They will kill you!
Kill me? Who?
- [ Rifle cocking ] - [ Suspenseful music ]
[ Clock ticking ]
[ Clock chiming ]
It's too late now, come on!
- [ Loud popping ] - [ Chen yelling ]
It's too noisy, I'll close the window.
- [ Gunshot firing ] - [ Chen screaming ]
[ Clock chiming ]
Don't move.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
[ Gunshots firing ]
[ Gun clicking ]
[ Mysterious music]
[ Man groaning ]
[ Quick, mysterious music ]
[ Quiet, suspenseful music]
Ms. Chen?
OPERATOR: Hello, may I help you?
Hello, hello?
Hello?
Uh, three?
Five?
OPERATOR: What was that, sir?
Give me that number again, please.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
[ Loud tapping ]
Ms. Chen, please don't waste time.
I have here the bill of sale.
- Come on, sign it. - No.
Why are you so stubborn?
The boss has been nice so far.
But my knife here could make your face look very ugly.
[ Chuckling ] So don't annoy the boss.
[ Wood cracking ]
Hey, come on now, why don't you just sign it?
And you'll make everyone happy.
I won't sign , and that's final.
Ah, well, you're a very foolish girl.
We'll get the restaurant, sooner or later.
So look, you're only making things difficult.
You reckon?
Tang Lung will be along here shortly.
Tang Lung?
You think so?
[ Chuckling ]
I'll tell you right now,
he is seeking peace with his maker.
[ Playful whistling ]
[ Loud yelling ]
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
[ Loud thumping and grunting ]
[ Loud yelling and grunting ]
[ Loud grunting and smacking ]
[ Loud smacking and groaning ]
- Oh, look out! - Hey!
[ Loud yelling and smacking ]
[ Glass shattering ]
[ Loud smacking and grunting ]
[ Suspenseful music]
[ Loud yelling and groaning ]
[ Men grunting ]
Let's get him, now, get him.
[ Glass shattering ]
Their boss is over there.
Hey!
[ Nervous chuckling ]
[ Smack, groaning ]
You're crazy.
- I'm warning you. - Hey, Tang Lung,
don't bother yourself.
Lay off.
[ Knuckles cracking ]
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
[ Nervous chuckling ]
Ah, I thought of a wonderful way
to handle that Tang Lung, which is called,
"do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Well, among my friends, there is one Japanese martial artist
and one European martial artist.
They're both strong, but the problem is,
they're from different styles.
I'm afraid they might not cooperate with each other.
Money will buy cooperation.
If money is not a problem,
then I suggest we must call America for Colt.
Is this Colt good?
Is Colt good?
Huh, he is America's best.
You better pray that you don't fail this time.
Ah, he will beat Tang Lung.
I'm willing to bet my life on it.
Operator, I'd like to call America.
Yes, A-mer-i-ca.
[ Men laughing and chattering ]
Happy New Year, cheers.
Congratulations, Uncle Wong.
- Here, lucky money. - Oh, thank you.
- And you. - Thanks.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
- Here. - Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks, thanks.
Well, I didn't expect New Year money here.
[ Chuckling ]
Uncle Wong gives us lucky money every year.
I gotta say this is the , best New Year I've ever had!
[ Laughing ]
First of all, we still have our restaurant.
[All cheering and clapping ]
Second, and now we have Tang Lung,
who helped us defend the restaurant.
Salut!
[All cheering and clapping ]
Third, we finally taught those thugs
a damn good lesson, right?
Yeah.
[ Cheering and clapping ]
Hey, hey, hey.
This is a good day, let's forget all the fighting.
Oh, here's Ching Hua.
MAN: Oh, Ching Hua. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Happy New Year.
Good to see you, Ching Hua. Happy New Year.
Hey, hey, this is for you.
Thank you, Uncle.
Tang Lung, a cable for you, it just arrived.
[All laughing ]
It's from Uncle.
He wants you to go away and leave us.
Now don't you worry.
I will be back with you soon.
Now look, I'll stay here 'til this whole mess is settled,
then go.
[ Door opening ]
Oh, Happy New Year.
Oh, what exquisite decor.
[ Nervous chuckling ]
What a warm gathering.
What do you want?
[ Nervous chuckling ]
Well as this is New Year, I came here to tell you.
It was all our fault, I apologize.
[ Chuckling ]
So now we can all be good friends.
Our employer would like to see Mr. Tang Lung,
have a little chat.
Do you think Mr. Tang would be so kind?
Certainly, I'm sure he would be happy to go.
I can see business getting better already.
We can work together instead of fighting each other.
Ah, excellent.
We'll meet at the Empress Restaurant tomorrow.
Bye bye.
[ Mysterious music]
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
HO: Hey, hey, stop it, stop it, stop fighting.
Oh come on, both of you, come on please,
stop it, stop it, stop it.
Oh no, no, no.
Please, listen to me.
Please, we are friends.
Tang Lung is our enemy.
Please, wait for our boss to come back to decide
which one of you will take care of that Chinaman, okay?
[ Loud spitting ]
[ Men grunting ]
Oh, oh don't, stop it!
Stop it, stop it!
Stop it.
[ Suspenseful music]
Sensei.
Bob's my student.
He will be the one who will personally
take care of that Tang Lung.
Yes, boss.
Who can do karate better than Japanese?
[ Chuckling ]
[ Men grunting ]
BOSS: Wait.
Now that we've decided,
- is everything arranged? - Yes boss.
First of all, I'll meet them at the Empress Restaurant
early tomorrow morning.
Oh, you've come.
Here, here, sit down, sit down.
I'm sorry, the boss couldn't make it today.
So what's goin' on?
Uh, an urgent matter came up.
He's very sorry.
Oh, my car's outside, we can go meet him now.
Your what?
- And where do we go? - Never mind, we'll go.
Come on, let's go.
Ah, you're very quick.
I like to see that.
Let's go?
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
- Where is he? - There.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
Huh? He's gone.
Doesn't matter, we'll get him.
Hey, this is a trick.
They're trapping us.
[ Rhythmic, suspenseful music ]
It's alright, don't worry.
The three of us can handle him.
Me first.

Tang Lung, we're lucky this time
that we weren't completely trapped.
HO: Tang Lung!
Hey, come on if you dare.
Tang Lung, you go.
Don't let him escape.
Tony and Jimmy can manage that Jap.
- Go on. - Okay.
[ Loud smacking and yelling ]
[ Men grunting and gasping ]
Tony, you okay?
My body, that's all over.
[ Men breathing heavily ]
[ Men yelling and grunting ]
Uncle Wong.
You, why did you?
Don't blame me for all this.
The blame is on Tang Lung.
Yes, yes, Tang Lung.
Tang Lung caused all of this.
He stirred up this trouble!
The fool!
What does this, what does this mean?
What's it mean?
You must know I've got nothing.
I worked hard all of my life,
and I've got nothing around to show for it.
My own wife and children are waiting for me in Hong Kong.
If the restaurant cooperates,
they'll pay me well for all this trouble.
After that, I can go back to Hong Kong a rich man.
You understand, I have to do this.
I have to do it!
