"San Francisco International Karate Tournament 1964"
Let's welcome Mr. Bruce Lee
from Jan Fan Kung Fu Studio
"Hong Kong, one month ago”
Mr. Ip
your tumor is malignant
Even though it is still at early stage
The cancer cells are spreading too fast
to be controlled by standard medication
Nowadays, hospitals offer chemotherapy
It can control cancer cells
You should think about it
First thing first, quit smoking
Don't smoke anymore
No,
turn your stance more
Rotate your torso
Exactly
No. C'mon man, that's not right
What are you doing?
Chill. Chill. Relax
I'm just sharing my thought
Anybody knows what he's saying?
No
No more shows for you
Relax! We are Kung Fu Brothers
- It's fine - Just listen to me
Calm down
- I don't understand what you're saying - Easy
- Beat it - Just listen to me
- What's wrong with you? - Are you nuts?
Want me to beat you up instead?
- Get lost - Don't push me
I am asking you to leave
I said don't push me
Here to challenge us?
Okay
Sifu
Grandmaster, Yes
I'm so happy to see you
He's so excited
I'm a student of Bruce Lee
My name is Billy
I have something for you
Sifu wants you to come to the Karate Tournament in the US
which take place next month
Here, this is an plane ticket for you he prepared
and this book, he wrote it
He wants you to have it
Bruce
He is good?
He's doing fine
He has a Kung Fu school in Seattle
and I'm from his newly opened one in San Francisco
Billy
Tell Bruce
Maybe I have no time
Thank you
Give this to Grandmaster
What is this?
Give me back my comic book
Give me back
Mr. Ip
We have to expel Ip Jin
We can't keep Jin in our school anymore
Headmaster
Please give Jin one more chance?
I promise, he will behave
Please give him another chance
Let him stay
It's not his first time getting into a fight
Last time was already his last chance
Since he is so sportive,
studying abroad may be a better option for him
It's not serious
Just minor cuts
Be careful next time though
Thank you, doctor
The nurse will patch you up
Where is your family?
Doctor
Master Ip
It's been a while
I am Ming, the son of Auntie Liu
Your Kung Fu Studio used to be on our rooftop
Mum sent me to study in America
as I was an enfant terrible
I just got back
Now working in this hospital
It's really something, to be on your own abroad
Not really
Master Ip
Jin is fine, don't worry
- See you later - Thank you
Answer the door, Jin
Master Ip
Bob! Please come in
What's the matter?
America is so far away
What's the rush?
I am going to San Francisco
to find a school for Jin
Good idea
Uncle Ba also sent his son there recently
Getting an overseas qualification
helps making a better living
- Please take a seat - Okay
Have some tea
Oh don't bother
Jin
Greet your uncle
He did, he nodded
- Have some tea - Thank you
Bob
Can you please come check on Jin
while I'm away?
Not a problem
When I'm in America,
I will phone home
at exactly 10pm HK time everyday
Okay
You don't need to call
I won't take it
Don't worry
I will be here on time to make him answer
Right, don't be too soft on your son
You're spoiling him
Nah, I have to
I want to send him abroad,
So that he'd have a chance to experience
to be independent
Right
I won't go
If you want to go, go by yourself
If you've got something to say, just say it
There's no way I'm going to America
You can't make me
I have told you so many times
I really don't like studying
I'm not cut out for it anyway
What can you do if you don't study?
I can teach martial arts
I like Kung Fu
Who let you teach martial arts?
Why can't 1?
Aren't you doing it yourself?
Why don't you tell your students
- It's useless to learn martial arts - Enough
If nobody learned martial arts,
You'd be starving already
You don't practise what you preach
You always blame me for everything
Someone took my comic book
It's my fault
He failed, it's my fault
- Again, my fault of wanting to be a Sifu like you - Enough already
You are always right
I am always wrong
You are never supportive of me
If mum was still alive, she would have
Don't
Get out
Get out, now
Shut up
He's still a kid, be patient
Don't be so upset
Bob
So I'll leave it to you, thank you
Please sit down
Ladies and gentleman
We are approaching San Francisco Airport
where the local time is 11:15 am
Man
- It's been many years - Yes
You must be exhausted from your long flight
I'm alright
My car is outside
Let's go
Let me carry this
- Thank you - Let's go
It's been years since we last met
That's about right
Hey, Gun
Why did you move to America?
It wasn't my plan
My newspaper sent me here for the NA edition
There are more Chinese residents here now
Many folks send their kids here for school
It's the right time for Jin to come
Regarding the recommendation for school admission
Has the Chinese Benevolent Association prepared it?
I contacted them
Chairman Wan would like to meet you first
Once we arrive Chinatown,
we'll head to the CBA
Has Chairman Wan been here for long?
His family has been here for generations
His grandfather came to the States during the Gold Rush
He really cares for the compatriots
Let's go
Uncle Gwai
Hello, Uncle Gwai
Hello, Mr. Leung
Let me introduce, this is Master Ip
- Hello! Uncle Gwai - Pleasure to meet you
Has Chairman Wan arrived?
- Master Ip - He's here
Master Law
It's been ages
It's really me
When did you come here?
I've moved here with family for a few years already
So, are you visiting
to prepare for moving home too?
Master Law, Man is not going to move here
Shall we sit and talk?
Great! After you
Masters, please allow me to introduce
This is Master Ip Man
Hello, fellow masters
Sit down first
Take a seat
Let me introduce everyone
They are all Kung Fu masters
from Chinatown
Master Lau of Choy Li Fut
Master Chen of Eagle Claw
Master Han of White Crane
Master Chiu of Seven-Star Mantis
Master Chiang of Xing Yi
Master Lui of Eight Trigams Palm
Master Tam of Tam's Kickfight
As for me, let's spare the introduction
We are old friends
Last but not least
Chairman of the Chinese Benevolent Association
Master Wan of Tai Chi
Chairman Wan
Thank you so much for your help
Master Ip
Don't thank me just yet
I've heard so much about you
You are here
at just the right time
I'd like to ask Master Ip a favor
How can I help?
Here in San Francisco's Chinatown
There's a long established rule
Kung Fu studios
should only accept Chinese students
Your apprentice, Bruce Lee
Not only does he break the rule
He even published a book
to explain Chinese martial arts in English
Since Master Ip is here
Why don't you
give us a hand to resolve this issue first
Does he think he can
be the spokesperson of Chinese martial arts?
Your apprentice
is too arrogant
Not only that
He is going to attend the Karate tournament
He is provoking us
He is clearly provoking us
Exactly
I have read this book
It's well written
What's wrong with teaching non-Chinese?
Master Ip
Have you heard of the story of Mr. Dong Guo?
A wolf
was sieged by a hunter
Mr. Dong Guo saw this
He saved the wolf
and put the wolf into his bag
Once the hunter left, the first thing the wolf did
was to eat Mr. Dong Guo alive
Animals are animals
They won't be grateful
I will use one of your Cantonese slangs
"You offer them rice, they toss it out”
That's a bit dramatic
Master Ip
Strangers in the strange land
You don't live here
You won't understand
How about that?
Take a sip of this tea
and you are one of us
The letter
I'll write it
Fellow masters
Chairman Wan
You might have misunderstood Bruce
In fact
Bruce just wants Chinese martial arts
to have a wider following
I think it's a wonderful thing
Marching to a different beat
To make a name for himself
Like student, like master
To be an exemplar of martial arts
Have you two got what it takes?
It's going to break
Man, let's forget it, shall we?
Sorry to bother
Excuse me
Excuse me, everyone
Chairman Wan, excuse me
- Thank you - Man
I am sorry about what happened
I didn't expect this
It's not your fault
Gun
To meet the school principal
Is the recommendation letter essential?
Yes
After all we are immigrants
Schools here
They only acknowledge reputable people
Recommendation is a must
Don't worry
I have some American friends
They should be willing to help with the letter
Okay
I won't keep you, take a rest
- Let me walk you out - Sure
Goodbye
Bye, Man
Thank you for your help
Operator, where would you like to call?
Hong Kong
842
639
Okay, one moment
Master Ip
It's me, Bob
I can hear you, Bob. Loud and clear
Really?
How are things over there?
I heard the air is fresher there
It's a huge country
So vast that you can't even see the buildings across you
Not exactly
Right
Is Jin here?
Can you put him on the phone?
Jin
Come take the call
Hurry up
Long distance call costs a lot
He won't answer
That's how they are
Defiance is the trademark of youth
Listen, it's important
My wife heard that there are some meds
that are only sold in US but not HK
Can you help me get some just in case?
No problem
Please write them down
It's in English
I will spell it out slowly
The first one is
I. ... 1... U._.. Q... ... D...
Dad
Why are you late again?
I am exhausted today
Just finished all the assignments
Took a nap before I came
You aren't exhausted when cheerleading
Only when you are practising martial arts
You don't get tired of what you like
- What did you say? - Nothing
Come
"Brush knees and twist steps”
"Part the horse's mane"
Sink the shoulders
Drop the elbows
Round form
See how terrible your moves are
Look at yourself
How can you join the Mid-Autumn Carnival?
How can you go on stage?
God, this is so tedious
How many times have I told you?
Here at home
Speak Chinese
Hi, Mr. Wright. How are you?
I thought I was gonna be speaking with your boss
Actually, it's not my boss who send me
I have something perhaps you can help me with
Ok, What can I do for you?
This is my friend, Ip Man
How do you do?
He is looking for a school
for his son to attend in America
So maybe you can help him
by writing a recommendation letter
Can I have a minute with you, please?
Mr. Leung
Nowadays
Many people fancy coming over here
to try to find a better life
Your luck is your ability
and you achieved
because you choose to work with a great boss
But your friend here
He is a Chinese Kung Fu Master
Look
I don't really know you that well
I certainly don't know him
How do I know that he isn't some kind of fugitive?
Just like all of the other illegal aliens that
get deported every day from Chinatown
I think you're being biased
not all Chinese are criminals
Mr. Wright
Listen, Sonny
The only reason that you're here on my property,
wasting my valuable time,
is because of your boss
I'm only doing this for the sake of my friend
Not you. You understand?
Man
I am sorry
Don't worry
We'll find a way
Great stuff, man! Really good!
I love that swing kick
This is crazy
This match is fixed
Just a Gook dance
Phonies
Enjoy
Congratulations, Bruce
Your performance tonight was fantastic
Thank you, Sifu
Thanks for inviting me to America
You are welcome
Actually
I am here in America
to find a school for Jin
You know
Recommendation letter is required for school application
So, Do you mean
those folks from the CBA refused to write you a letter?
I have a student
He is a lawyer
He should be able to help
Don't worry
Thank you
Sifu
Over here
They're my students
- Grandmaster - Sifu
Hartman, come and sit
- Hello - It's amazing
Sifu
This is Hartman
He's one of a kind
A Marine Staff Sergeant,
very into Chinese martial arts
And he wishes to introduce
Chinese martial arts to the Marines
In America,
most people don't know about Chinese martial arts
I have practised Wing Chun for a while
Its centerline theory for both attack and defense
is useful for combat
I'd recommend it to my officer
What do you think, grandmaster?
Great idea
Kung Fu man
I saw you at the tournament tonight
I think your stuff is bullshit
I don't buy it
What's up, man?
You wanna try it?
Hartman
Let's take it outside
I'll kick your ass, man
I'll kick your ass too
Sifu
It happens all the time
I'll be right back
You
The door won't fight back
But I will
Sifu
here's the recommendation prepared by my student
It should be okay
How do you do?
- Hi, how are you today? - It's very good
I have an appointment with the Principal
- Mr. Ip Man, right? - Yes
Do you have all of the required documents?
Yes
Ok, follow me please
Is everybody OK?
For anybody need any help
Just let me know
Mr. Spencer
You sir, fire away
The principal is very busy today
She is in a meeting
So, would you mind waiting?
- Yes, No problem - Okay
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
and good job girls
Ok, the contest is over
I have made my decision
Yonah, you will be the new cheerleader
for away games starting this mid-semester
Well done
She doesn't deserve it
She changed the routine all on her own
She cheated
She should be disqualified
Ok, I don't remember saying that improvisation wasn't allowed
since I haven't finalized the routine
Anyone's input is welcomed
Yonah, her move was amazing
and so is she
We all have the same goal
Why don't we try to work together?
Well done
Class dismissed
Mr. Ip, I am so sorry to keep you waiting
No problem
I was stuck in a very important meeting
Come, please
This lawyer who wrote the letter, is he your lawyer?
Actually, he is my student's student
So you're a teacher too?
I'm a teacher
I teach Chinese Kung Fu
Chinese martial arts
Like a gymnast?
Yes, something like that
Well, as you already know
This is an exclusive private school
I can accept this letter as a referral
But you still need to get a recommendation
From the Chinese Benevolent Association
as they act as guarantors
for late school payment
- However - I understand
If you can donate ten thousand dollars to our school
to be one of our sponsoring board of directors
We can waive the recommendation letter
and accept your son right away
Speak of the devil
Bitch
Showtime
You think you look so great out there?
You looked like a little yellow monkey
We are not gonna follow your lead
In America, people like you
Follow, they don't lead
What do you want? Just leave me alone!
If you're not happy,
then go back to Asia
This has been our land for generations
What do you people want from us?
Now I know why they call you stupid blonde
America has always had immigrants
The Indians are the only real Americans
Your ancestors stole their land
Paleface
What did you just say to me?
She's the one
Grab her
I dare you to stay at the cheerleading
You've got your long hair
You think you can be me?
You can never be me
You come back here
Come back here! Where are you going?
Get her, Man
I'm gonna cut all of your hair
since you've got lice anyway
Get her
Close the door
Stay out of this, old Man
You want some too?
Stop
No
No! No more
I'm sorry
Let's get out of here
I am Yonah, what's your name, uncle?
You can call me Uncle Ip, Yonah
Uncle Ip, can you hold this for me?
Uncle Ip, please take a look from behind
Please help me cut it even
If it's not neat
Done
Thank you
Uncle Ip
Are you okay? You got slammed by the gate
- I am okay - Let me take a look
I am really fine
I've got herbal tonic at home
Works like magic
So what went on at school today
Does it happen often?
It's not the first time
I am not afraid of them
Does your family know?
Yes
My dad always asks me to put up with it
He is very strict
Uncle Ip
Why were you in our school?
I was there to apply for my son
Then you must have met my dad
He is the Chairman of CBA
I've met your dad
He must have given you the letter then
Uncle Ip
When will your son come?
He will have a hard time getting used to life here
I can help out
Your father didn't actually help with the letter
How come?
You are not a foreigner
Your father has an opinion against them?
Yes
Dad always says that
they are very bad to Chinese
They only discriminate and bully us
It's always been like that
since he came here with grandpa as a kid
The way Chinese are treated here
has always been unfair
That's why he founded the CBA
to protect us Chinese
Sweetheart
What's happened?
My God
What happened?
This Chinese girl
I need you to come home right now
Becky's been attacked
I wish you weren't away on this business trip
We need you here
Come home now, OK?
Dad
This is my friend, Uncle Ip
You always say Chinese should help each other out
So
please write him a recommendation letter
Come over here
Did you get into a fight again?
No
Yonah
You know dad hates liars
I am asking you one more time
Did you get into a fight?
No
They were jealous of me
Just because I was made the cheerleader
They cut my hair and had people beat me up
Tolerate it? How?
What's the point of pratising martial arts
If you want me to put up with this
Shut your mouth
Chairman Wan
Your daughter was bullied
It's not wrong to defend herself
Master Ip
As I've told you before
You have no clue
As you don't live here
Let me tell you
We live here
This is our home
Those whities keep trying
to get rid of us
They even want to get rid of Chinatown
Don't you understand?
Have you tried to get out of Chinatown,
to communicate with them directly,
to fight for a change?
You preaching me now?
Yonah
You can change
Ip Man
If you want your letter
Don't use my daughter
Show me who you are
Let's have a match
What happened?
Old wound?
Yonah
Are you alright?
Dad, I am fine
Yonah
Dad
am here
am fine
Ip Man
Looks like we'll have to wait till the Mid-Autumn Carnival
to decide who's the winner
Winning or losing
Does it really matter?
Shouldn't we use Chinese martial arts
to change the biases against us?
I brought Yonah back because I wanted to protect her
I'm not here for the letter
You are always right
I am always wrong
You are never supportive of me
If mum was still alive, she would have
US Trunk line
Yes, collect call please
Master Ip
Bob
Where's Jin?
He went out to buy late night snack
Right, how're you getting on with your thing?
Going well?
A bit of hiccups
It might take a few more days before I can return
Back in a few days, that's very good
Good luck
Be safe
Thanks a lot
Bye
"The United States Marine Corps Base Camp"
Left, Right
Pick up the pace! Devil Dogs!
You are warriors!
You are killing machines!
Earn it like you got a pair!
Hit that bag! Boy!
Wear that E.G.A. with pride!
Get the Banana out of the tailpipe!
Move it!
You gotta earn it! Devil Dog!
Move it! Move it!
Move!
I surrender, Sensei
What did you just say?
Did I just hear you say that you surrender?
Did 1?
You know what our motto is, recruit?
Trained to Kill, Ready to Die
Do you understand the meaning of those words?
It's hurting me, Sir
It's hurting you? is it?
Hurting you. You know this is the problem
You know there is a rumour, going around this base
People saying that I'm a racist
I'm not a racist
See I don't hate you because you are coloured
I hate you because you are a cowardly coloured
Get off the mat!
You, Jackson. You're next
SSgt Hartman
Do you mind explaining to me
what exactly this contraption is?
It's a Wing Chun dummy
A Kung Fu training aid,
Like a punching bag, if you will,
but for Chinese martial arts
Let me ask you something
Did you fall out of your crib this morning
and bang your little head?
Where the hell do you think you are?
Does it look like a Museum
for preserving your ancient Chinese heritage?
Wing Chun is improvising and adapting
just like Marines
I've been practicing for months now
and I find it practical for real combat
I'm certain that practicing it will be beneficial
for marines on the battleground
You are certain, are you?
So this Kung Fu bullshit can allow us to kill our enemies?
Is this what you're trying to say?
Outstanding! Staff Sergeant!
You are a god damn genius
Get this thing off my base now
You know nothing of Chinese Kung Fu
ZERO
All right, SSgt Hartman
I'm gonna allow you to prove those words
if you can defeat Colin in a fair fight
Then, I will consider
maybe allowing your wooden girlfriend to stay on the base
Is that understood?
C'mon Colin, smack him up
Outstanding work, Very nice
You see this, man?
Now this is Karate
Your Chinese Kung Fu is only good for folding laundry
It stays where it belongs and that is the hell
off my base
Now, because of the SSgt's stupidity
All you Chinese will run an extra 30 laps today
and the SSgt himself
will run an extra 30 after that
Are we clear?
Good
Carry on
One, two, three, four
Left and right and lei ho
Uncle Ip
- I have great news for you - What's up, Yonah?
Did you forge the signature?
Don't worry, it looks the same as papa's
I am sure no one would notice
I don't understand what you kids are thinking nowadays
You guys act
without thinking consequence
What are you doing?
It took me a lot of effort
Did it cross your mind that
your dad will be very upset
I don't care,
he doesn't care if I'm happy anyway
Why did you say that?
I think he cares about you
He only cares about himself
He always pushes me to practise Tai Chi
for performing at the Carnival
Just because he likes it
But I don't
If you don't like Tai Chi
Just tell him
I did
He wouldn't listen
In his eyes, everything I do is wrong
I fought back when I was bullied
My fault
I like cheerleading and dancing
My fault
I am always wrong. He never supports me
I don't believe that's how other dads are like
At the very least
You are not, Uncle Ip
Is cheerleading...
your passion?
Not really
I do it because I like it
Uncle Ip, you are so good at fighting
that's because you like martial arts, right?
At the Mid-Autumn Carnival,
Why don't you do your cheerleading dance?
Right, why haven't I thought about that?
That's a great idea
Uncle Ip, you will come, right?
Sure
Great
Now go to school
Off you go
Bye
You finally decided to come back then, Andrew. Thank you
I was in Washington, D.C., Gabrielle
I came back as soon as I could
How's Becky?
She was almost disfigured by a Chinese girl at school
And I don't understand the grounds
they let a Chinese student in anyway
What do you intend to do about it?
What are the INS going to do about these Chinese savages?
Get rid of them. Send them home
Becky, honey, who did this to you?
Yonah Wan
She is the daughter of the Chairman
of the CBA
what so she claims
Chinatown
I will handle this
Really impressive
So, this is Chinese Kung Fu?
Yes, Sir
It's really amazing. I mean really amazing
Thank you, Sir
This brochure has a brief introduction
and here is a transcript that I've prepared
Actually, Sir
There's a Martial Arts Event taking place in Chinatown
during the Full Moon Festival
With your permission,
I'd like to go film it and do some more research
so that we may further investigate this matter
- Chinatown? - Yes, Sir
Granted
Just don't make this a waste of my time
- Definitely not, Sir - All right
Come in
Sir
please excuse the SSgt's intrusion
What the Hell you're doing here?
My Job, as a Marine
So that's alright
So let's start to explore the idea
of incorporating Chinese Kung Fu
into our hand to hand combat training
Now, SSgt Hartman is gonna go to Chinatown
for research
I'd like you to start learning something
from this handbook
Here, take it
Gentlemen. That's all
Sir
Fix your base, Recruit
You have no power Mr. Cleese
Instructor
a word
Bow
Gunny
You know there's not a doubt in my mind that
Karate is the best form of hand to hand combat
Bar None
Do you know the backstabbing son of the bitch Hartman
has gone and done?
Tell me
He's convinced our commanding officer that
his bullshit Kung Fu is more effective than our Karate training
I'm gonna need you to right that wrong, Colin
You just let me show those people
the meaning of real combat Karate
and I'll shut those Kung Fu charlatans up for good
Good Man
Gunny
Continue
Move
Good
Grandmaster
Uncle Ip
You are late
I saved you a seat
next to the masters over there
No worries
I'll stay where I am
but the view's better there
How about you go prepare
get ready for stage, okay?
Go back there
Alright
I'll go then
Uncle Gwai
- That's how you're dressed for stage? - Yeah
Where's your father?
Didn't you come with your father?
No, I came first, didn't see him
Maybe he will show up later
Mr. Wan Zong Hua
We are the US Department of Immigration and Customs
We are here to take you in custody for questionings
regarding the presence of illegal aliens residing in Chinatown
Go
Good
That's my students
When did we invite these whities to perform?
I don't know
Who is he?
Who invited him?
Get down
Scram
China man
You wanna try to break these bricks with your Kung Fu?
Cowards!
Go away
I go look for your father
My name is Colin Frater
4th Dan Black Belt Kyokuten Karate
and I'm here to show you yellow bitches
the taste of real combat
Fight me with your Hanky Panky Kung Fu
I dare you
- What're you talking about? - Get down
How dare you!
I will fight you now!
Uncle Gwai
What happened to Chairman Wan?
What do you mean by that?
I just saw Chairman Wan
He was taken by the Immigration officers
He was taken into a car
Let's make it quick
You understand I will go all out
You are begging to be killed
Come on then
I won't hold back either
Master Law
Bullshit, why is the stage so small?
Help me
Who's next?
Freaking Yankee
I am in
Master
Master Chiu
Master Chiu, you okay?
Help him first
Lady, I will show you no mercy
Don't hold back
Mind yourself first
Master Chiang
Enough
Master Ip, bravo
Uncle Ip, you nailed it
Master Ip
Yes!
Uncle Ip, that's fantastic
Uncle Ip, you are the best
The best
Too awesome
The most amazing Uncle Ip
Yonah
Bad news
Auntie San told me
Your father was detained by the Immigration officers
I'll drive you there
Go
We've reopened the cases involving the CBA
We suspect that these Chinamen,
have identities that are fraudulent
and that you've helped them by
writing false violation of referral from the U.S_A
making you an accomplice of these illegal aliens
This is setup!
Would you know?
I'm gonna arrest every single person
in the CBA tonight
You and the CBA
will be gone for good
He has a broken rib but he will be ok
Chinese Kung Fu My Ass
I will shut them down in my own way
The fullmoon event has concluded
The chinamen must be back at the CBA
30 mins to CBA,
Bring them all in
Call the wives, boys
We are staying late
We are going to Chinatown
arresting every Chinamen in the CBA
This operation makes no sense, Sir!
Shut up, Do-good Marshall
You do as you're told
Man
Excuse me
Anybody here? I need some help
What now?
Let me check it out
It's way past office hours, you can't be here
My father Wan Zhong Hua has been taken by mistake
I need to see him right now
- Billy - I can't let you in
Grandmaster
Billy
Can you help us?
I wish I could
Her father, Mr. Wan Zhong Hua
What happened?
I have no idea, Sir
but please take my advice
stay away from The CBA tonight
Tonight, don't go there, alright?
We're gonna raid that place tonight
I gotta go. But remember don't go there
Masters
Who got those Karate guys here?
Made a scene for nothing
It must be Bruce Lee I reckon
He dragged us into this
Don't make false assumptions
His Sifu helped us
Master Law, leave the CBA right now
Immigration officers are coming to make arrest
Who are you?
Is that you?
What did you say?
What are you doing?
Things went wrong
Is that it?
Is this your Chinese Kung Fu?
What about this guy?
Your Chairman
Where is he?
I don't know
Tell me or I'm gonna break your arm
INS, Immigration
Good boy
What happened?
Master Law
Master Ip
A whitey just showed up
and attacked everyone
like he was coming for a revenge
Man
The immigration officers will be here in a second
They are gone
Check at the back
Alright guys, gotta sweep
Look for any clues that might tell us where they went
Officer
I'm looking for a Chinaman by the name of Wan Zhong Hua
Where is he?
What do you want with him?
I'm Gunnery Sergeant Barton Geddes
2nd Battalion 5th Marines
One of my men was assaulted in Chinatown tonight
Wan Zhong Hua
is the Chairman of CBA
I need him back on my base tonight
This man made me look bad
It's personal
So, why don't you cooperate
or things are gonna get pretty bad for you too
Do you understand?
So go and get him
No worry about the repercussions
Follow me
You're now officially in the custody of US Marines
Don't let him stay in the country, alright?
My Karate coach was defeated in the fight tonight
by Chinese Kung Fu
Since you're the representative of Chinese Kung Fu
I'm holding you personally accountable
These Chinamen right here
I have just crushed all of them
You're the only one left
I need to fight you
Dad
What are you doing here? Get out of here
You're Becky's father, right?
Listen, It's all my fault
It is nothing to do with my father
I'm sorry
I beg you
Please let my papa go
Please
Yonah
Get up
Yonah
Get up
Don't kneel to these people
You are right
If you can't take it anymore,
then just don't
I will fight you
Let's go
Papa, don't
Bruce
Sifu
I want all the recruits in the PT Gautlet straight away
Aye, Gunnery Sergent
Especially SSgt Hartman
Reveille! Reveille!
Get your asses on the line!
Move it! Move it!
Out! Out! Out!
Good!
Move your asses! Marines!
Move it!
Move that ass, double time!
Left hand, left knee, right hand, right knee, Aye Sir
Sit down! Sit down!
Move it!
I try to be a fair man
So since SSgt Hartman so desperately wants
his Chinese Kung Fu to be part of our curriculum
I'm happy to get off my rack time
and give the Chinese representative a chance to prove
the Kung Fu is actually useful
in a real combat situation
Master Wan
You don't have to accept his challenge
I have to
If I back down
I'm no Chinese
No rules,
fight till you drop
Make sure you get all these on film
Sir! Yes, Sir!
Master Wan, stop!
I just realized
you and your daughter look the hell a lot alike
when you beg
Enough
Master Wan
Don't you think I deserve a round of applause?
Those white people
always pick on us
Made a scene tonight at the CBA
They are getting way out of line
That's right
It's not the first time
the immigration officers came
They harassed us for no reason
Yes
My grandfather came here as a hard labor
Helped them build the railway
Helped the Americans
Connect the East coast with the West
It's all thanks to Chinese labor
Yet the American government
never willing to acknowledge our contribution
Keep trying to kick us out with all sorts of excuses
The white guys are too arrogant
There's no equality here
Bruce
We were too
No big deal
I didn't take it to heart. Don't worry
Master Ip
Thank you very much
Not at all
We are all Chinese
We should help each other out
That has always been my belief
Chinese must help each other out
Right?
Spot on
Master Law is right
Hello
Master
At the Mid-Autumn Carnival tonight,
the masters in Chinatown
had a conflict with people from the army
Master Wan
He is severely injured
Now at the hospital
Little prick, not answering the phone again!
Bob
Where is Jin?
He is practising with the wooden dummy
Master Ip, Long distance calls cost a lot
Bob
I have cancer
Are you serious?
Actually the reason I hurried to America
It's to have a look here
See if it's right for Jin
Please let me talk to him
Hold on
Your dad is asking for you
Pick up the phone
I won't take his call
No way
Listen to me
I will only say it once
You dad has cancer
He went to America, just to find you a school
Dad
Jin
It was my fault
that I hit you last time
I am sorry
I know you like martial arts
I will teach you when I'm back
Dad
When will you be home?
I still have something to take care of
Once it's done
I will be right back
Goodbye
Take me to the boot camp
Uncle Ip
Don't go
I don't want anything bad happen to you
Uncle Ip is a martial artist
In face of injustice
I must stand up and fight
that was why we took up martial arts
This is something, I very much want to do
Just as you want to do cheerleading
If you're lucky enough to come to America
Set your foot on our soil
Then you ought to learn everything about my culture
Consider yourselves incredibly honored to be here
Incredibly Honored
Because America
is the greatest and the most powerful country on earth
A land of Supremacy
and that is an undisputable fact
Is that understood?
Sir! Yes, Sir!
But last night
I had the unfortunate but necessary task
of demonstrating how an inferior race
can and should be defeated
I'm sure you will all agree the results were
Quite definitive
So, don't even think about bringing
your filthy cultures to my Marines corp again
Is that understood?
Sir! Yes, Sir!
Racist Asshole
Look around you
We are the culture
Your supremacy is purely hatred and bigotry
This is Master Ip Man
He beat Colin last night
He's here to kick your ass
No rules,
you fight till you drop
Is that it?
Is that all you've got?
You see this?
You're nothing but another little yellow chink!
Come on
Let's go
That's it
Take the GySgt to Sick Bay
Johnson! Harris!
Move! Move! Move!
Master Ip
This letter
It's a bit late
I am sorry to keep you waiting
I appreciate it
Right
When will you and your son come here?
Actually, grass is not really greener
On the other side of the fence
Uncle Ip
Those meds you asked for, I got them all
I even got you candies and chocolate
This is my favourite chocolate
Your son will love it too
Thank you
You're so sweet
Dad
I have thought it through
I don't want to go to America
I really like martial arts
Dad
Teach me
Okay
Self-confidence is the most important thing
Wherever you are
Jin
I will demonstrate once
