Brand new epic adventure set during a tumultuous time in China, when left without a leader, the cavalry is attacked by the powerful allies and pirate bands. A martial arts master, Wong Fei-Hong and Aunt Yee return to do battle against these evil forces.

Heaven's blessed me. The boat is still here

Everything will be fine
after I cross the harbour

I really am playing with fire here

Oh God... I'm gonna be so rich!

Who...?

There are so many of you

My boss is Sam from the charcoal factory.
You'd better give him some face

We are pirates
We don't care about onshore matters

Oh you guys are my heroes,
I can't believe I've finally met you

From now on I won't follow Sam
I'll join you and be a pirate too

You can take this treasure



I don't care for men from the mainland

I'm not interested in this stuff.
You keep it

It's not worth bothering about

I just want your fingers

Don't move!
I have a gun!

A gun?
- Stay back!

Give me your hand

A gun you say?

I have a gun too

South China Barn

Eat or you won't have energy



Mr Chui is back

How are you Madam?

Chiu, you are still out and about
during this storm?

Stop messing about
and feed the little Master

If you don't get fat
I'll let you be the coolie

Boss

If we can't ship this rice to Hong Kong
and leave it stored like this

It'll get eaten by rats

But what can we do?
The seas are full of pirates

The foreigners employ troops to
protect their goods. It's like a war

Can't I afford to employ guards?

I'll do whatever it takes to ship this rice

What's in that box?

I don't know

Little Master

What's happening

I told you to feed little master

How dare you let him open that box?

What's going on?

The pirates again

Save your breath.

Stop squabbling
Go and take the children to bed

Get out of here

You jinx!

"One finger for 100 catties of rice.
Send to the sea on time.

or your fingers will be chopped off!
Signed Cheung"

That pirate Cheung is an old man
He must be about 100 years old

How can he threaten me?

It doesn't matter if he's Cheung or not.

All the pirates are dangerous

I'm going to sit right here. If they
want the rice They can come and ask me!

The box is filled with fingers

So?

Somebody's here

Don't just sit there,
take the kids upstairs!

Let's grab our weapons.
Put the bowls down

There's going to be a fight.
Grab the weapons

There's going to be a fight.

Just wait,
don't open the door yet

Right,
open it now

We're armed.
Who are you looking for?

I'm not looking for anybody
I was just passing by

It's an armed troop

Sorry, I've made a mistake

He mumbled and had big eyes like an owl

A guy like that must be an informer

Follow that guy
to see where his base is

We have to infiltrate their group

100 catties of rice
for whoever gets information

Why are you standing there?

Let's go!

Hey, let's hide our weapons first

They're all scoundrels
All they care about is getting my rice

This isn't the time to break down

It doesn't work when it rains hard

Leung Fu, did you find someone to help us?

I've got more than enough helpers

I can't believe they're so eager to help

100 catties of rice!

I am not "100 catties of rice"

They don't seem to have come to fix the car...

I asked you to get help
but you brought trouble

you need the exercise,
there's two you missed

I see them

Master!
They...

They've come for "100 catties of rice"

I'll get you

Go to hell

18 drop kicks

too many false attacks
not suitable for a gang fight

I'm afraid I'll kick you

You've made a mistake

There is nobody here called
"100 catties of rice"

100 catties of rice is 100 catties of rice
not somebody's name

For 100 catties of rice
so many of you got hurt

100 catties of rice is not enough
to pay for your medicine

Aunt May, your shoe is wet

But I still have to wear it
They are my only pair

It was all a mistake?

I think it's time to get out the first aid

Ask Master to come out

You fight and heal well

Calm down

I do apologise,
It's all been a misunderstanding

You aren't pirates after all

You mean you thought we were pirates!

I Leung Fu am smart and handsome
Do I look like a pirate

If you thought Club Foot was a pirate
It wouldn't be unreasonable

I get sea-sick when I go sailing
How could I be a pirate?

Have you ever seen a pirate
as handsome as me

Sir, I'm sorry, we just wanted to find an inn

But our carriage broke down
So...

Since they are strangers
ask them to leave at once

Please sir..

Club Foot, Fu, Put down the pills and medicine
Let's go to the inn

Take these pills
This medicine is for external treatment

Po Chi Lam ointment is very famous
Did you know that?

Po Chi Lam?

Isn't Po Chi Lam the business
of Master Wong Fei Hung

I think so

Do you people know Master Wong Fei Hung?

I am Wong Fei Hung

We fought with Wong Fei Hung just now
It's our honour

Your fist is fast as lightning

Sorry for offending you

I am Wong Kai Ying

You have sparkling eyes!

Please forgive me

Leung Fu

The owl

He uses many fake stances

I am Club Foot

Your kick is really powerful

Thank you

How dare he dismiss my kung fu!
Fake Stances? Owl?

I am Aunt May

So pretty!
You must be Master Wong's wife.

Pleased to meet you

Attention please

I am Leung Fu

You clap for Aunt May

So you should have clapped for me.
I'm not an owl

I'm sorry I have a date
with my family at the inn

Why not eat here this evening?

See you later

Come on, why not?
You're invited

Let me find you a seat

The dogs are really barking.
Go and take a look

Master Wong

I admire you so much.
You're a real hero

I want to talk to you.
Don't go just yet

Let us show you to the inn

There's no need

Do I pay you to show people around?

Pirate!

Master Wong
Let us handle this

We've caught him. A guy dressed in black
trying to steal the rice

They were afraid of pirates a moment ago

But not now

They are brave now Master is here

You aren't going anywhere

Get down, you daren't fight back

Pirate dog!

He can't breathe
He's convulsing

Let go of me,
I'm not a pirate, I'm not

Lend me your belt

You brought this on yourself

Be careful, his ribs are broken

He is severely injured,
you'll have to carry him to the court

To the court?

Don't you have a court?

The court is too corrupt

Really?

Well, we can't deal with this thief ourselves

But we can't release him

I'd like to check your court out for myself

Club foot,
stay here in case his gang strikes again

Let's drop our bags at the inn
then take him to the court

Do you really mean to take him to the court?

Don't worry, if the court can't deal with it
we'll try something else

Master, we've arrived at Mu Min Lane

The place is totally deserted, what should we do?

Allied forces have occupied the capital

But the south is unaffected

The newspaper says the south is still
safe and prosperous

Shouldn't that be prosperous and safe?

Where did you get the paper?

It's what our food was wrapped in

Porky Lam
I'm asking you, what time is it?

Er... Er...

What time is it!

Two holes

Two holes?

Wrong!

Why are you so uptight?

Master, we are looking for somebody

I don't open the door at night,
come back in the morning

What? So what do we do till then?

Come on, we're not pirates, we're good people

Well, we don't open the door at night,
come back tomorrow

Sister May?

Sister Yee?

Fei Hung is here

Not two holes!

Lang, Sol, come and help with the luggage

We're looking for a fat guy
and a guy with buck teeth

Sister

May

Master

Damn

Fei Hung!

Peony

You've lost your shoe

You are all I need

What happened?

Aunt Yee's overwhelmed

She... What happened?

She's lost control

I don't care about my shoes

So you shouldn't care about your luggage

My God

Father, are you ok?

It's nothing

Why didn't you shout out?

I didn't want to disturb you

I dropped the luggage on the floor
as soon as we arrived

No need to explain,
I did the same when I was young

Daughter in Law, you lost your shoe then

You say you did something like this Dad?

Who did you hurt?

Don't ask, it's history

Take the luggage to the room now,
we have to go to the court

Fu, take the luggage up

Aunt May, let me help you

No thank you, I'll carry my own

But... That's my luggage

Have you got the shoe?

Not yet

Fu are you all right? What's wrong?

Don't move

Dad, be careful

Ok, ok

Fu there's something wrong with Aunt May,
what's going on

I wish you hadn't of asked me

Master has fallen for both of them

Is he that kind of man?

He's lost control

He's split between the two

It'll end badly

He's out of his mind

Acting out of desire

Like an animal in heat

What are you doing?
- Are you sick?

Heart beating fast, feeling thirsty

The show's just begun but the climax is near

Let's see how Master handles this case

Let's go and find something to eat

Are you trying to shut me up?

How to handle it?

We know Master's secret

If we blackmail him, he'll have to listen to us

Even a hero can't resist a pretty lady

Mmm, salted cake

Let's see how you handle this!

Master, I didn't say anything

Leung Fu!

Oh shit!

This is a good show is it?

Master... I

Fu

Why are you kneeling on the floor?

What's wrong with you,
you look so pale

I want to vomit

Porky Lang

Yes Master

Go and ask Aunt Yee to join us for dinner

Yes Master, right away

Sol

Go and eat something

Yes Master

Fu is not feeling well, let him go and rest

Sit down

He's well enough

Fei Hung,
it's proving difficult to get tickets to Hong Kong

We can't anything till the day after tomorrow

I'm afraid there might not be enough

What's wrong

What's bothering you all

Things are bad, but it'll get better soon

Sister, why don't you shift up?

You should sit closer to Fei Hung

Dangerous

Dangerous?

I'm going to take the thief to court
with Club Foot

Leung Fu, Lang

Yes

Sol, I didn't call you, sit down

Follow me

Yes Master

Why not me?

Fei Hung, wait

The people in the barn said
the court couldn't be trusted

Do be careful, ok

Master this is the court

Open up! We want to see the Magistrate

Who's that

Don't move

What are you doing?

I'm the Officer of the court

Sir, we caught a thief stealing from the barn

So we've brought him to you

Good
Take him away

Yes Sir

Do you need us to sign anything?

We've simplified the procedures now

You may go now

May I see the Magistrate?

He's busy in a meeting

They've gone..

They didn't even ask our names

We didn't have chance to get their names either

Let's take a closer look

Yes

Bring some medicine.
We need to stop the bleeding. Hurry

Ken?

He's one of their men

Ken. You'll be fine

That's why they didn't trust the Court

What do you know? Pea brain

Well they know the guy's name

I know

Fu, get Lang to kick the door in

Yes

What?

It's just a cat

Not a good cat impression

A cat and a dog?

You're not in a zoo

Kick the door in. Kick it!

What?

Kick the door open!!

Break it down?

No, kick it, kick it

Come back here

Cross Fist

Lightning Kick

Fu!

Porky Lang, catch!

Got you

Don't move

Who are you?
How dare you come in here?

Who are you?

How dare you pretend to be an Officer

We didn't

We are the constables

So how come you're in league with a thief?

Don't try to lie to us

What?

Put him down!

Nobody move!
Or I break him in two!

I'm Ken. I'm a constable too

Please heroes, we are not lying to you

We deserve to be punished for stealing

But we had no other choice

Because we haven't eaten for days

It's so hard

You are the Officer of the Court

How come you don't have any food?

Since the Allied forces captured the capital

And the Empress Dowager went into hiding

The Magistrate took everything and left

Leaving us without a penny

And so far nobody has replaced him

As we have no food, many have left already

We are all that remain

At the same time, the pirates loot freely

The citizens dare not leave their houses

The place is a like a ghost town

Please forgive our intrusion

May I ask your name?

I am called Tse

I am Wong Fei Hung, these are my students

Wong Fei Hung?

Wong Fei Hung from Fu Shan?

At your service

I am Porky Lang

Hello

I am Club Foot

You have great students

I can't believe we have so many heroes here

May I know your name?

I am Leung Fu

Wow it's Leung Fu

Leung Fu?

You are Master Wong Fei Hung's student?

We are from Mei Province too

You are the hero of the province

We are so happy to meet you

You are so handsome

You have an heroic air, so impressive

Wait until we tell our villagers we've met you,
they'll be so jealous

At last...
These guys don't call me Owl!

I've never seen Fu look so touched

It makes me want to cry

Really?

The Dragon Boat has arrived

Moving up to the top, the very top

Fortune comes, comes to my door

It's midday and all the doors are closed

Do you think this place can ever be saved?

They are scared, what a terrible way to live

Look at the constables, like beggars

Eat slowly, there is still rice left

Thank you

Such a long needle

It will fight the infection

Dad, we're leaving tomorrow, here are the tickets

I feel better now we have them

Get a good sleep

More sleep?
We can sleep when we get to Hong Kong

Sis, Hong Kong means "Fragrant Harbour"

Is it filled with sweet smelling flowers?

Flowers? I don't think so

But being called Hong Kong
it shouldn't smell too bad

Sister,
you stayed with Fei Hung for some time in Beijing

What do you think about him?

We seldom saw each other
and we didn't talk much

We were both too busy for socialising

But you came in the same carriage

But we sat separately

So you never got to know him?

We are different ages

I'm his Aunt, he's my junior

Seniors don't notice the merits of the juniors

But you think he's a good man?

I think everybody is good at heart

It's what you think that counts

But I wanted your opinion

You got it

Oh, forget it.
Just answer me this

Go ahead.
What?

Do you have feelings for Fei Hung?

What have you done,
what were you thinking?

I was just thinking about your question

You should be more careful

I was being careful
but I couldn't avoid it

It's ok, I understand

This is old Master's, and this...

Let's draw for it, that'd be fairest

Whoever picks the blue one, takes three

Whoever picks the black one takes the rest

Dad, do you think he wants to be alone or not?

What do you think

It's the just the way he is

We'll have to escort him on board tomorrow

Nothing for me!

I've got the red one

I got blue, I'll carry three

I got the black one

Tickets to Hong Kong

There are only two left
Four thousand each

I want one

Four thousand, don't you have anything cheaper?

How about an underwater seat, they're free!

Make way

Where do we get on?

These tickets are so expensive

That tout is a real thief

If we sold ours at that price we'd be rich

And how do we get to Hong Kong
if we sell our tickets?

I was joking

It's not a joking matter

Make way

Sol, why aren't you carrying anything?
Where's the luggage?

Didn't you pick the black straw?

It's... all sorted

You should be carrying it, give it back to him

Be careful, don't push

Fei Hung is over there. Go on

How long will we have to wait?

Just sit down

There's no rush, we've waited for days already

Somebody will sell their tickets to us

Sol, is it heavy?

It really is

I'm going to the toilet, back in a minute

Are you going to Hong Kong?

It's only one ticket,
ask one of your family to go onboard now

They've all gone on already

Some bearded guys gave them their tickets

They said Wong Fei Hung would give me his ticket

Are you Wong Fei Hung?

Yes

Thank you Master Hung

Some bearded guys?

Thank you Master Hung

See you beardy guys

Peony, Aunt May?

Your disguised too?

Doesn't it itch?

Yes it does

There are eight gangs of pirates
on the East Canton sea

Cheung leads the Red Flag Gang,
the cruellest of them all

Mak Yau Kam leads the Blue Flag Gang

Ha Mo Yang leads the Black Flag Gang

Tiger leads the Green Flag Gang

They are known as
"The four kings of the sea"

Their power is growing rapidly

In the 15th year of Ka Hing,
in order to maintain peace

The government was forced to negotiate with them

Cheung therefore became an official officer

Now things are unsettled
and the pirates have become active again

In South Pun Soon they are causing real problems

The year Cheung became an officer
he was about 80 years old

He can't still be alive

According to my information,
these pirates are from the eight flags

Their leader is Cheung's son, Cheung Yuk Lun

And his right hand man, Ying

How many followers does he have

They move silently and leave no survivors

So I really can't put a figure on it

Master

We can organise a local crime prevention unit

Good idea

We don't know where they are,
we'd better be careful

But we can't let them know
the magistrate has gone

Sir

Master Wong

I hope you'll let us move into the courthouse

Of course

First of all, the court must be open as usual

You should all put uniforms on

Dad, please disguise yourself as the magistrate

Disguise myself?

Sorry we don't have enough rooms

Please would you stay in the cells

Not a problem
Thank you

Which is mine?

This one, we've given you the biggest one

Not bad at all

What's inside this box?
It seems heavy

I've no idea, it's been sitting here forever

Nobody understands the English written on it

We daren't move it as we don't know what's inside

What's inside?

Armaments

Oh, nothing special, just foreign stuff

We Chinese don't use these things

Let's get rid of it
Come on, take it away

Just a minute, better tell Master first

Yes we must inform Master first

Isn't that right Sir?

What have you got there?

Come here

Wait a moment

Fei Hung, we're always on the move

It's difficult for us to tie the knot

I want you to do one thing for me

Put this ring on my finger

You want me to put it on for you

Come on, it's a custom

What kind of custom is this?

Put it on, then I'll tell you

I'll put one on you next

I have to wear one too?

Of course, the rings are a pair

They are a symbol of our marriage

Marriage?

I must tell Dad first

Let's tell him after the wedding

You can't leave in the middle of the ceremony

Confetti

Why do you suddenly want to get married?

Well have to wait for ever otherwise

And you..

Right well, let's hurry it up

Hubby, you can lift my veil now

Hubby?

Better just call me Fei Hung

Fei Hung, kiss me

Kiss you?

Do I really have to?

Hurry up, nobody will see you, then it's done

Really?

Here goes

Master

What's this?

Beauty's temptation

What...

They run so fast

Wow, this ring has incredible power

This is the Magistrate

You officers want to organise
a Local Crime Prevention Unit

I would like to join

But I can't speak on behalf of my students

You'd better ask them personally

See you

So, are we going to fight the pirates
or the foreigners?

If we let the pirates land
they'll fight the foreigners for us

Why don't we ally with the pirates?

You're so ignorant, in fact,
the senior officials have already decided

It's all been worked out

The pirates are just puppets

We can't begin to understand
the hidden agendas

If we get involved it will end badly for us

We just do what the boss tells us,
you must ask him first

How can we judge who is good and who is evil?

Besides, the winner is always right

That's right

There is an old Chinese saying
"In troubled times, heroes appear"

Let history decide who the heroes were

We cannot change the course of history

How can we ever mobilize them?

They lack the spirit of unity

Ok, take a break now

Being a Magistrate seems like tiring work

There's still no decision

The chain is broken

Let me help you

What's the matter Dad?

This chain is the only thing
that makes me look like an officer

Now it's broken what am I going to do?

Never mind, we can stitch it together

What a pain

Some went behind the door

The show's starting
starring Master and Aunt May

What's the title?

Maybe he's just teaching her kung fu

One's up, one's down,
what kind of kung fu is this?

Dad.. There's more here

What is this kung fu?

Don't you know?

Sol, kneel down

Let me demonstrate, watch closely

Wait
Get up again

So you can do what you like

It's so late, what are you doing here

You scared me, why don't you go to bed?

We're hungry,
we're just grabbing something to eat

Clubfoot, grab a watermelon

I'll make a watermelon dessert

It's my speciality, it's not easy

What are you doing Aunt Yee?

Tomorrow is Fei Hung's birthday,
I'm making him a cake

Let me help you..
Wah, it's so hot

Check out the cake!!

Fantastic!
Can you teach me how to make one?

Put it here

I've never seen a cake so big

It's just a cake, sit down!

Let me teach you

Sol, bring me some small candles

Then put the cream inside a bag

What did she say?

We can't keep this up for much longer

Oh no, the cake!

Put it back on the table

It's a mess now

Pick up that piece

Reform the shape

Not that shape, it didn't have corners

It should be round

Not like that

Put that piece here

Dad, line it up first

She's coming
Oh shit!

Stop squeezing

It's too late, we're in for it!

Cover it with something

Aunt Yee, can we do anything else for you?

We love making cakes

A little more at the front

Aunt Yee what's next?

Use your finger?

You put it on but you didn't mean it

You have to put in on your finger too?

Are they really together?

Spread it evenly

My eyesight is failing me

Should we put it on all our fingers?

Just like I thought

Put more here

Stop asking me so many questions!

She's getting mad, better hurry up
put the cream on

Save some for Sol

You fingers are so fat, you're just making a mess

Is that all right?
Is it enough?

What are you doing?

Making a cake..
What does it look like?

Aunt Yee, here are the candles

Cover it

Put the candles on then light them

Ask your master to blow them out

Ok Aunt

Sol
My hands are all creamy

I can't find it

Don't hide
Come out

Sister?

Do you think I'm stupid?

I know everything

What does she know?

Better go and ask her

It must be something serious
or she wouldn't be crying.

Master

What's going on?

Aunt Yee wants you to blow out the candles

Ok, did she say why?

Just do it and see what happens
Go on blow

What's happened to your fingers?

Following Aunt Yee's instructions

Nothing

Did you see anything?

Nothing

This is very mysterious

Go and ask her, what does all this mean?

What do you want?

I'm not in a good mood,
don't make me angry

She's a feisty one

Lock the throat,
catch the hand, move

Go to hell

I told you not to bother me,
now you've asked for it

Master!
Pirates!

Don't move!

Peony

Why did you chase after me?

You must tell me what is going on

I don't want this ring anymore!

This is your wedding ring
why are you throwing it away?

Wedding ring?

Wedding?
When did that happen?

Why wasn't I informed?

Why don't you explain this to your sister

Don't just stand there,
look for the ring

Clubfoot, didn't you hear?

Come on Fu, Sol

Sister, you've got it all wrong

Dad, you've misunderstood

Oh, we understand all right
- That's right

We were just helping Mr Wong fix his chain

Why not just say you were taking the opportunity

to learn some kung fu
that's what we thought

Not very convincing

Dad, we didn't mean to deceive you

We just didn't get the chance to tell you

These words lack... lack..

Sincerity

Sincerity

Go and ask Mr Wong

You'd better ask Aunt Yee

Just don't ask us

We didn't do anything

They were just picking beads up after all

We're not really married

Impossible

Impossible

This is Master's most embarrassing experience

There's no escaping it

No way

Still ok?

I'm still alive

Do you believe me?

I don't know what to believe

Is he dead?

Master he's not breathing

Who asked him to lie there?

Another one dead

I told you not to play games,
now look what's happened

Dad... Dad

Beauty's temptation

He needs professional help

That the best course of action for him

Very true

Who will escort Aunt May back?

Me... I'll do it

All right, it only takes one

The rest escort the pirates

Right

I'll protect her!
You can escort the pirates

I don't need an escort

I'll stay here with you

And wait for the constables
to come for the pirates

I'd like to ask one favour

Please pretend to court me

So my sister won't be angry with me

I know it's a lot to ask

But I have to do something

It's no problem

Thank you

We are family, it's our obligation

Make way

Two days ago,
a ship was robbed on the open sea

They took everything and killed all on board

These are the corpses that floated back

Those damn pirates!

Master Wong, please check to see
if these weapons are of any use

Useless foreign weapons

Watch my darts!

I missed...

Fei Hung,
you are going to fight the pirates tomorrow

We've been together a long time,
I've learnt to be flexible

We can look after ourselves, don't worry

Peony

Sister, your turn

Aunt May

Fei Hung, don't worry, we'll be ok

Are you worried?

No, you're not worried

Oh I don't know what to say!

Don't worry

Just go

I'm done

You can't even do that right

Mr Porky Lang, Mr Clubfoot,
Mr Wong

The sea is rough,
is there a storm coming?

Maybe
- Mister Clubfoot

Master

Remember, call me Mister Wong

Oh, yes Master

Er.. Mister Master Wong

Where is Mr Fu, go and find him

Sol, do you have any sour plum?

No

Take this button
put it inside your mouth

Why didn't you make some plum for me?

Sea sick?
You'll be dead before we find the pirates

He's going to puke again

There's are some odd guys on this boat

Be on your guard, they could be pirates

D'ya think?

Keep an eye on them

It's sand

You're joking?
Let me have a look

They are fake

It's a trap, let's go!

How dare you try and cheat us?

Looking for sand?

That's the signal

It won't be long now

Still sea sick?

Not through choice

Because I've eaten the button
but not the plum

Master wants us to gather on deck

Fire!

Bring her closer

Prepare to board

Where have they gone?

We are on the same side

We've tied them up already

Where are the rest of them?

They are tied up in the cabin

If it's rice you want
there's no need to tie us up

Ask your leader to come out and get the rice,
then set us free

Yes, get your boss out here

Now!

All missed

These foreign weapons are useless!

Get the fat guy!

After him

Catch this!

Now catch this!

And this!

Sol, careful not to shoot our people

Trust me!

Perfect!

Clubfoot, board the other ship!

Ok

Hoist him up!

The view's better from here

Out of bullets

A nice soft landing

The meat is sweeter after a beating

Move and you can taste you own cannonballs

Get your master out here

Or I'll blow the ship to bits

Coming straight back!

How can a rice merchant be so skilled?

Are you the boss?

I'm the boss...
Flying Monkey

Got you!
You are under arrest!

Just wait, I need to puke again

I can't take much more of this

Damnit, why did you die next to me?

Think you can escape?

Come back here!

Drop you weapons!

I've caught your leader

They've all been killed while I was puking

If what Flying Monkey said is true,
this is their base

Let's go!

What's that noise?

I hear it too
- Me too

It's a lyre

Let's disguise ourselves and sneak in

We need to draw their attention away

Let's go

It's done Master

Ok

Help...
Help me...

Master, there are so many pirates here

Do you think they'll recognise us?

Do you remember how many pigs you've slaughtered?

I've slaughtered so many,
how could I remember?

They have so many new members,
how will they tell us from them?

Just stay calm

Ok

Lang, you worry too much

Yes... yes... yes

No need to repeat yourself

Is San Francisco a beautiful city?

Not at all

I bought a plot in New York instead

Paris is better, you should see the girls!

I bought a chateau there

And I've employed many maids

I could go anytime and live like a king

I never thought making big money
would be so easy!

If I'd started earlier
I could have retired by now

Cheers!

They all drink this

It must taste good

It's so frothy, how can we drink it?

Just try it

It's bitter and stinks

He's lovin' it

He must have a different one

Let me try yours

Just the same

Bravo!
Sister Ying plays so well!

Let's offer her a toast!

Under her great leadership
we've had much success this year

Those not drinking show disrespect to Sister Ying

To Sister Ying!

You better be careful

This wine tastes foul

Clubfoot, listen up

Add some of this into the barrels

It will make them feel even better for a while

Sol, light the gunpowder on my signal,
ok?

Let's go!

What is this?
It tastes like horse piss!

Master, look!

The women who were kidnapped

We can't risk hurting innocents,
so we can't use the gunpowder

We have to save them first

Ying is coming, what should we do?

Let's get up for now

Where are you men from?

Are you new to us?

I've been here for ages,
just enjoying my beer!

We came from Bonero,
we're under Flying Monkey

Flying Monkey?

He's already set sail.
Why are you still here?

He knows we lack experience

He wanted us to stay until the next job

Understand?

Shit, you've got some guts!

Flying Monkey does what I say,
so do you!

Understand?!

Nice one!

Master is too much

Someone is coming

It's me, aren't I fat enough to recognise?

Fatty, you made me jump!

Master is in Ying's bedroom

What?

He lost control again

What shall we do then?

He really needs to make his mind up

If he doesn't got on top of it
he'll blame us for not keeping up

So hurry up and fix the medicine

We rarely see skin as white as yours here

Young man

You seem tense,
are you still a virgin?

Yes

I don't believe you

There are no virgins anymore

I've certainly never met one

Wong Fei Hung, I know you have it in for me

I recognised you the moment you walked in

Well, you had it in for me too

You knew I was Wong Fei Hung

But still fell into my hands

So slow!
- Just a little more

Come on, hurry up!

I don't think it matters anymore

Why?
Is Master coming?

What? Does he not look happy?

One

Why are you counting?
- Two

Three!

Damn you Wong Fei Hung!

Watch my gun!

Ying, you are under arrest!

So many of them

This will hold them

No way!

Watch this!

You broke the pillar!
Are you trying to kill me?

What were you doing up there anyway?

Shoot and load... Shoot and load
It's such a pain!

No time to refill

Sol... Catch!
- Holy shit!

I have great confidence in you!

Thank you

Sneaking up?
Take this!

Eighteen Topple Kick!

I kick with style when Clubfoot's not around

Watch my darts!

10,000 for a corpse, 7000 for the wounded

Right!
10,000 for you!

Sol you are the best shot

Cover me!

I wasn't ready!

Sol, what are you doing?

So many guns!

Run!

Not so hard!

I'm not a faker like you!

Didn't you see my 18 Topple Kick?

Wah! That's not a real stance!

Take this...

And some of this...

I'd be stronger,
if it weren't for the sea sickness

One more!

Ambush!

Lang!
What a waste of energy!

If some iron fell from the sky
would you stop it with your head?

Safe for one,
dangerous to another!

Club... foot

Quiet!

It's too dangerous to move

Then why are you pushing me?

You said
"One man's danger is another man's safety"

This is only danger!
- So what?

Stop arguing

This is tactical discussion not arguing!

Stop talking and move!

Are you going or not?

Sol

Clubfoot, use the box as cover!

Got it!

Master, you can come in now

Attack!

What's with you?

Wah! Heaven has finally rewarded us
for our good deeds!

We're rich!

I'm not a greedy man, I just want a little

Fu

Master, let me collect your share

This does not belong to you

We must take all this back to the court

What? Pretending to be Mr. Honest

Hey Fatty, why did you take so much?!

Clubfoot!
Why did you take so much?!

I'm just looking,
I wasn't taking anything

Sol

I didn't do anything

Got it now...

Fu! Is that your necklace?

Just stuck to my hand

Watch out for traps

Master, this appears to be Cheung's tablet

Machine gun

Cheung

You have chosen to be a pirate in death too

Such a disgrace to set a tablet to your
"Glorious history"

Your descendants are ruining
our peace and stability

I must destroy your base now

And I will break your tablet!

How dare you defile my throne?

Save Fu

Fu, watch out!

Let him go!

My hand!

He did that on purpose

You were too greedy

How dare you kick me?

My foot!

You old fox!

Clubfoot, get away!

I'll break your leg now

Come out here then

Clubfoot, how are you?

Are you Cheung?

Didn't you see the tablet on my throne?

Can you really be that old?

I'm selfish and crafty

I eat and sleep well
so I enjoy long life

You are too conceited!

Your life's about to change

I'm taking you to the court

Too conceited?
You made me an officer so you can't arrest me

My post is quite a senior one

But I have no desire to become the Magistrate

Do you think you can be an official forever?

Once you stepped outside the law
it was over

You've had it too easy

Excellent, you have guts

Someone...

...is hiding

What?

Hiding

Hiding?

My descendants and I
have no respect for officials

All the Emperors are selfish

If you say I shouldn't wear this official hat

Then cut the ponytails from the Manchu's for me

Ok, come here and cut it yourself

Sol, lend me your gun

I need to use it

Never mind, I'll use that big one there

This is your fault Sol!
Now I'm trapped

Go.. Go

Load the gun

Let me help you
- Hurry up

Come on, hurry!

You're in the way,
how can I get out?

Sorry I can't move

Watch out!

Luckily I have enough ass to spare
No problem

Ah, my hand!

Vases

You can't balance on there

Give me your ponytail

Come and get it

Think you can challenge my "Sea Balance" kung fu!

Right Cheung

Let's see who falls first

Give me your hat

On the floor

You can't protect your hat,
how do you expect to cut my ponytail?

I'm satisfied with the riches I have,
the hat means nothing!

Come and take my head if you can!

I'm gonna chop your legs off!

Back on the floor

You're coming too

Watch your diamonds,
if that's what you want!

Here, take it!

No!
My diamonds!

You lived for riches

Now you have been killed by them

Ford, clean the sign

Move everything inside

Coming

Goddess, please bless and protect us

Burn the fire crackers

Be quiet

What's this?

It stinks

Let me help you

Never mind

Clubfoot, hold tight,
I'm going to treat your wound now

Thank you Master

Sol, come and help,
Master and sister are here

Pretend to court me ok

Aunt May

Let me have a look,
it's all right

Sol

What's wrong with you?

Right, I'm fine
it's nothing

Do you want to be hurt?

Aunt May

Pretend you're courting me

Aunt May

Lang's in a really bad way,
just listen to his groans

Aunt May

I'm coming

Why is everybody suddenly calling Aunt May?

It's because she's so nice to them

Fu, pretend to be enamoured by me

I really am

I'm not joking

I'm being sincere

Sincere?

Yes

We agreed to pretend

You can pretend but I'm serious

I'll just go on pretending

Make it more realistic

I'm just pretending

Come on, it's just acting

I'll pretend but don't get the wrong idea

It's hard to pretend,
there's no need for you to do this

What do you know?

Boss

Empty!
They took everything

I never thought this place would come alive again

The people are full of hope now

I didn't think the Tin Hau Festival would happen

Now the local militia are respected

So many people want to join

Mr Tse, what will we do with the jewellery
we recovered from the pirates

Let's follow the governmental orders

The Government?

Roll Up, roll up!
Get it while you can!

The price will rise tomorrow,
only two left now

What's the matter?

The merchant's are causing a crisis,
the price of rice increases each day

What are they up to?

They're going to scare the people again

The rice is so expensive,
we can't afford to buy it

In that case go home

Yes, what can I do for you?

Master Wong,
with your help we are making a fortune!

How can you auction rice like treasure?

If I keep my rice in the barn
I'll make a terrible loss

I have a monopoly on the rice
so I can sell to the highest bidder

You should watch and learn about business from me

Business?
Aren't you just another pirate?

You are just robbing the people

This is legal, I'm not robbing anybody

It's up to them to buy or not

If we don't buy rice,
how can we survive?

This is too good a business opportunity to miss

First bitter, then sweet,
that's the Law of Prosperity

Keep working or I'll dock your pay!

Advisor, find some cheap labour
to carry all this rice

Yes Boss

When rice goes up, all other prices follow

Master Wong

Celebrating eh!

While they are celebrating the festival

Let's go and rob Si Kiu

Kill everyone in one night

A fitting revenge for my father

Where is Ying?

Locked up in the prison

Send somebody to save her

Yes

They are here, let's send the signal

There's the signal now

You were right Master Wong
they did exactly what you predicted

Send the signal to inform our men

Ken

Yes Sir

The torch

Ok, they are coming,
let's start the dragon dance

We'll draw them right in

Dad, this place is under your control,
take care

Thanks, you too

Are you all right?
Answer me!

We are trapped, go!

What's happening outside?
Will they burn the house?

Shhh, be quiet

Sister

Sister, about Fei Hung...

Let's talk about it later

Are you the barn advisor?

That's right

Where's your boss?

He is guarding the barn alone

What about his wife and children?

They are with him

Why did you shout so loudly,
you scared me half to death

Mr Tang!
It's Master Wong's Aunt Yee

It's not safe here,
you shouldn't be hiding inside

You'd better come with us now

We'd better do as Master Wong says

He can't tell me what to do!

Why have you come here?

You won't protect my rice so I'll do it myself

They'll have to kill me if they want it!

Mr Tang, rice is important
but your lives are more important

Spare a thought for your family

Your children are still young,
can they fight against pirates?

Open the door!

Listen to Ah An

Ah An, take good care of them

Sister, you don't need to stay,
follow them

You are still young,
you have a bright future

You needn't follow Master like I do

I won't go

Sister, you'd better go

Let me stay with Master

Sister, please go now

Don't make me go

Mistress!!

Don't leave me all alone

My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet

Hurry up

Brother Lang,
there's a signal from Gut Cheung Lane

There are signals coming from everywhere
so why is it so quiet here

Thank God... Just in time!

On the roof!

Drop your swords

These are guns

Who... Who's there?

Damn! No more bullets

Damn you!

Cover me so I can find the Boss

Sister Ying, here's your cover

Damn, there's somebody here

What are you doing?

They're all running away

Enjoy yourself!

Out of bullets

Ying has escaped

Boss, the dragon is controlled with ropes
it's a trap

Good boy!

You are as faithful as a dog!

Give me a piece of bone

You can take the bone home

Go on, there's a good boy

Come on...

Are you coming?

Are you staring at me?

He's giving me a hard stare

He looks like an owl

What?
D'ya think I'm scared?

Let's see whose eyes are bigger

Are you one of Wong Fei Hung's students?

Don't you recognise me?
The day we raided your base

You must have been running for cover

Forget it, I'll give you another chance

To get to know me

I want to get to know your insides first!

Using my bone?

Use the machine gun

Take cover!

It's not working

You have to take the safety off!

Still not working

Don't you know how to use a machine gun?

Oh shit!

Master!

Wong Fei Hung?

Quick, don't let those bastards escape

Wait for me!

I must avenge my father!

I'm waiting for you

Go to Hell!

Watch my "No Shadow Kick"

You finally show up...
Cheung junior

I've come specially for you

Well, here I am

Sister Ying, Boss is over here

Boss, we have escaped

Catch the rope

Think you can escape?

Catch the gun!

Master, here's a rope

Clubfoot, come here

Yes Master

Wong Fei Hung, catch my firework!

Clubfoot

Master

Leave, quickly,
don't worry about me

Ying, are you all right?

I'm fine

We seem to be in a barn

I asked you for rice, you didn't oblige me

Come here

Please let me go

Don't take my rice away, please don't

You still want to protect your barn?

Kill them!

Boss

My rice, my precious rice...

We have to save them all

Say good bye to your husband!

Take your rice to the King of Hell

Sister Ying!

What's going on?

Cheung junior!

Master Wong, you came?

Kill him!

What the...

Who is it, who's there?

Wong Fei Hung

Damn you Wong Fei Hung!

Wait

Catch those bitches first

Don't let them escape

The rest of you, surround them!

Right

Why are you tying me up?

Go now!

Get them!

It's too high up

Let me help!

Go now!
I'll save your wife

Come this way!

Hurry up!

Aren't you going?

Quick, open the door, hurry up!

Hurry, quickly!

Help!
Pirates!

Master, come down

Come on

Be careful!

Master! Are you all right?

Help me! Help me!

Where is Wong Fei Hung?

I can't see him

Let me shoot you!

My eyes!

Don't move!

Drop your weapons or your boss dies!

On fire?!

Go to hell!

Ying, I will avenge you!

Think you can get away!

The barn is on fire!

There's nothing we can do

Sir, the rice, it will be burnt to a cinder...

There are many soldiers outside,
let's hide up for now

Save the rice Sir, I beg you!

We can't let the rice burn

I'm going to save it!

Ken!

Thank you! Be quick!

Let's save the rice!

Thank you!

What shall we do?

Follow me!

Ken! Where are you??

There are pirates!

I'll handle this

Ken!!

Die bastard!!

Ken, wake up, wake up!

Wake up, get up and save the rice!

Ken!

Save the rice

At last, they've come

Be careful, he's got a gun

Come on

Come on!

Porky Lang

He's Cheung Yuk Lun!

Don't move!

Gun powder?!

I'll blow you all to hell!

Die bastard!

Damn you!

Move!

Catch this!

Take cover!

Watch out!

We'll die together!

Watch out!

No explosion?

The gunpowder has burnt out

Gun!

I've got em!

Wong Fei Hung!

Prepare to die!

Cheung Yuk Lun, watch out!

The more unstable the society,
the more opportunity for profit

All the prices go up

And there are fortunes to be made

Heroes appear in troubled times

That's the time to strike it rich

Prosperity...

Has gone up in smoke,
there's nothing left

So we are finally going to make it to Hong Kong

Yes

Let us help you with your luggage

Thank you

Are you leaving today?

Somebody will come from the capital
to take over today

Excellent, everything will return to normal,
law and order will be restored

Yes, that's right

Sir...

They are coming

One - two
One - two

Attention!
Left turn!

We are the troops of the New Army

Who is responsible for the hand-over?

I am the Constable here,
I sent the telegram

Sir, another troop is coming

Line up!

We are from Luk's camp

Read this official letter carefully

Yes.. of course

Why have two troops come to take over
at the same time?

They must have received the telegram
at the same time

But these troops work for different masters

It's like putting two tigers in the same cage

Who is going to take control of this area?

Both are sent by Li Hung Chang

Let's leave the decision to the chief

Do you have an official letter
to prove your authority?

Everybody has gone now

I don't have one

What shall we do now?

Are you all right Sir?

Master Wong, I think you should leave now

Gun shots?

This could be a real problem
we'd better wait and see what happens

This is what happens
when the kingdom loses power

But in times of stability
there are different problems

Why are there so many people leaving?

Let's get aboard

Don't worry, you'll get tickets soon

Sit tight

Others are more in need of these tickets

My thoughts exactly

Give them all to me

Here Sir, take these tickets for your family

Thank you Sir

Get on board now

Where is Aunt May?
- Aunt May

Sister May

Sister May!

Sister May...

Bon voyage!

You look like an owl again

Is he crying?

He can't be,
he must be faking it

No... It's just...

She's still got my necklace

Necklace? What a trauma!

That's good, one is leaving,
things will be less complicated

The ship's coming back

What's going on?

Sister May

There's a big storm coming so the ship can't sail

Oh no, she's coming back!
