Bloody Parrot (1981) - full transcript

An expert swordsman is suspected of being the thief of a treasure sent to Emperor. The swordsman who has nothing to do with the theft investigates and is led on the trail of the supernatural "Bloody Parrot".

Of the world of spirits,

in order to celebrate the birthday
of the demon king,

they use their blood and change it
to a Bloody Parrot

If you have the luck to meet it,

it'll offer you three wishes

to fulfill whatever you want

Once Prince of Dian is

preparing to pay tribute to
the imperial court

The thirteen caskets of treasures
to the king

all disappeared within one night

The Prince is perturbed at the news



and decreed Chief Guo Fan
to search at once

When you see me you'll get 3 wishes;

and as long as you live your wishes
will come true

If you are that good then...

then help me retrieve
the 13 cases of lost treasures

The Bloody Parrot has indeed

recovered the lost treasures

and fulfilled chief Guo's first wish

The lost treasures have been found

Bad news, master Guo died from
falling off his horse

Son...

Give me back my son

Give me back my son

"The grave of my beloved son,
Guo Jia Zhong"



You really believe in such rumors?

You really believe a parrot

could bring your son back to life?

I am highly responsible for
the lost treasures

and suffer the greatest suspicion too

The lost treasures have now been retrieved

it doesn't matter whether my son
can come alive

I believe in your loyalty

and also hope your son could be
brought back to life

But...

Don't let him out

You can't let him out

He's dead, he's a ghost now

My son's come back to life

You must be mad

The jewelry is gone...

Since those jewelry disappeared

what might have been a tranquil time

became a tumultuous period

To lay their hands on this treasure

martial artists tried to track down
the Bloody Parrot

They killed each other for this

and hatred was generated

Then hatred gave rise to more killings

However the Bloody Parrot and the treasure

remained a mystery

Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?

The Jewellery of the Prince of Dian

Everybody says it's you... it's you

"Dian border"

"Dian House"

Are you a ghost or a man?

I am the one who's about to die
and as yet not a ghost

Who harmed you?

It's you...

Me? I don't know that

What did you see just now?

A streak of red light,
shimmering over here

Do you know what that is?

No

Of course you don't

When that red light appears,

the Bloody Parrot will soon appear as well

It's just a rumour

No, someone has seen it happen

Who?

Guo Fan

Is he the Chief of the residence
of the Prince of Dian

who lost all the jewellery in a night?

That's him

Where's all the jewellery?

You'd better hurry and leave

the Bloody Parrot...

Where's all the jewellery?

The Bloody Parrot

The Bloody Parrot?

Who are you?

Tie Hen

Are you the famous constable
Tie Hen the Merciless?

That's me

Who are you looking for?

Guo Kan

What for?

He's Guo Fan's brother,
the family's only survivor

Only he can tell me

where the lost jewellery of
the Prince of Dian is

But you're late

What?

Have you found out the cause of his death?

He was poisoned

Do I look like someone who uses poison?

I don't think you would,
but that's because

he hadn't told you the whereabouts
of the treasure

Do you think I'd use poison if he had?

Difficult to say

What did he say before he died?

Why should I tell you?

Because, only I can prove your innocence

He uttered 3 words

What?

The Bloody Parrot

The Bloody Parrot?

I don't believe in such a rumor

I only believe that nothing
escapes justice

Cut it open

You know your stuff,

you should know what this is

This is an anti-poison pellet

and it is also the lost jewelry

Since he kept it

how could he have died of poison?

Some poisons run in the arteries

some in the organs;

they don't interfere with each other

There's someone behind this case

His murder was to silence him

Who is the mastermind?

In fact if we could find one thing

you could easily solve the case

What is that?

The Bloody Parrot

The Bloody Parrot?

It runs away so quickly

Even if you caught up with it,
it may not be a blessing

Fate and death are out of our control

I understand how you feel

Since you entered the cult of the Six Fans

70 to 80 people have died at your hands

I have never killed anyone unjustifiably

Nevertheless, you have killed

and your hands are tainted with blood

You can't wash off your responsibility

I can't figure out what you are
trying to say

The Bloody Parrot

If you still regard me as your friend

please send my body back to the border

"Spirtual Tablet of Tie Hen"

How did constable Tie die?

He was poisoned

What poison did he die of?

I don't know

Even you can't figure it out?

As long as the murderer is a human being

I could use whatever means
to figure it out

So the murderer is not human?

No

Sir, inside please

Thanks

Look

Is this a tavern or a coffin shop?

We only sell wine, not coffins

So why is there a coffin here?

That gentleman brought it here

and insisted on putting it here

My turn to toast

Hey, what's inside?

I'm talking to you

My friend is in there

Is he dead or alive?

Doesn't matter, he is still my friend

Do dead people drink?

It's your turn, I'll drink for you

He's nuts, what do you think?

Kick him out

When my friend was alive
he liked kicking people

He was never kicked

he wouldn't like being kicked
either though he's dead

If I used a little more strength

your hand would have become crippled

The Bloody Parrot

The little devil is dead...

This parrot is called the little devil?

Yes

You thought up the name?

No, a girl did

The name came along when she gave it to me

Who was she?

I have always behaved myself

all my life except once;

And that cost me my life's savings

But the pleasure and excitement
she gave me

was out of this world

Where is she?

It was only a whore house

Which one?

The Parrot Brothel

What was her name?

Xue Nu

Xue Nu?

Is a dead body in the coffin
or is there silver?

Doesn't matter

He's got to be a nut

Indeed... who else'd carry a coffin
to a brothel

He's gone up to Xue Nu's room

She wouldn't like a nutcase

Indeed, how could he compare
with master Yian

Miss Hong Yu

Strange

You are...

Never mind who I am

I want to ask you

which lady are you looking for?

Xue Nu

You're a strange guy;
using a coffin to put your silver

There's no silver in the coffin

You mean that's a dead person?

All I know is he's my friend;

it doesn't matter whether
he's dead or alive

You should at least know one thing

What?

Whether you or the dead person
will stay behind

What's the difference?

If alive, then you'll have to pay,
if dead, it's free

Looks like I'll be the one leaving

Why so impatient?

If I don't go out,

something on me will

What?

Look

Night pearl?

Now you can stay

Why have you drawn such
horrible pictures on the wall?

I like to frighten people

Fear is a stimulation

and drives men crazy

What are these devils doing?

Celebrating the devil king's birthday

This is the devil king?

Yes

You are my devil tonight

Why is this parrot red?

It has been formed by the devil's blood

And the 13 monsters surrounding her

are her slaves and called Xue Nu

You want to be its slave

hence your name, right?

I only want to be your slave tonight

All the devil's blood has been
used up to make this

Bloody Parrot & the 13 slaves?

No, another 13 drops of blood made a stone

which could seize one's soul in a wink

It's called bloody rock

Is this it?

Bloody rock

I could see the Devil King

This woman is mine

Bastard, scram

Who the devil are you? Speak

Bastard, you got my woman

I'll kill you

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Very kind of you indeed

Who is it?

I'm okay, you may leave

Who is she?

My wet nurse

Now I know the stone you gave me

was an aphrodisiac

Why did you say it was the devil's stone?

Because the story of the devil
and the Bloody Parrot

fascinated me

I don't like the story,

and more so the picture

Who drew this?

I heard Han Gu Studio did that

I'll get some white powder
and plaster over it

The Han Gu Studio's owner
has been dead for 3 years

and his shop has not operated since then

Do you want to buy lime powder?

You can still get it before I sleep

Who are you?

How do you know what I want?

Everyone calls me roundworm

It's no wonder then, that

you know my thoughts inside out

You want to plaster the wall and stay here

But you wouldn't stay long as

you might die before the wall dries

Boss, some wine?

Sorry...

Who asked you to come and kill me?

I did

You're after my life?

Xue Nu needs to do business

she can't afford to support a man

Why do you say this?

I brought her up

so she should listen to me

I am past my weaning period

Old madam,

don't boil with anger

This is the lime powder you want

You want to kill me too?

Yes

Also because of Xue Nu?

That was my intention

You seem to have good skills

and could fight with me

Oh?

But I must warn you

Xue Nu is mine

If she supports a man, that should be me

You are not a better man than me

Just marginally; your nose is a bit flat

Now you really look like a gigolo

I'm finished...

Not yet

If I cut you one more time,

your handsome face will be ruined

Get lost

Summoning the spirits

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad
is potent and binding

Summoning the spirits

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad
is potent and binding

Cut off his nose, gouge his eyes

and eviscerate him

Summoning the spirits

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad
is potent and binding

Cut off his nose, gouge his eyes

and eviscerate him

Take out his heart to feed the dogs

This woman is a witch

Even the people here are afraid of her

Because her curses are efficacious

It's just that she's not the one
who wants to kill you

Who is it then?

Madam Li

Why does Madam Li want to kill me?

I never ask why

So you're Gao Huan, the Long Sword?

Aren't you going to fight?

I don't want anything more to happen here

Please leave the town immediately

Who are you?

Why are you dissolving the corpse?

I am An Zhi Hao, the major of this town

Because someone who is much
higher in rank than I am

and more famous than Tie Hen
is going to be here soon

Who is he?

Lord Chang, Chang Xiao

Chang Xiao, the Deadly Sword

You'd better be smart and leave quickly

Thanks for your advice

But there's still something
which I don't understand

What is that?

Who is Madam Li?

Why does she want to kill me?

She's the mother of Xue Nu

Xue Nu

Madam Li?

Guo Huan is dead

Pass on my order that Ye Ting Feng
must be killed

or I'll have to be rude

Has your nanny been here?

No, I fell asleep after you left

Did you see her?

She's after my life

I've been here for only half a day

and everyone here wants to kill me

Wonder if there are any

secrets between them that
I am not aware of?

Could you bring me to meet someone?

Who?

Madam Li

You really want to see her?

What do you want?

I'll gouge out your eyes;

see if you still want to see her

Why don't you let me see her?

She's a witch

You'll never see me again
when you meet her

I don't want you to leave me

Did someone move this coffin?

No

Tie Hen, I'll give you a proper burial

Stop scaring people here

Who are you talking to?

Did you say something just now?

That's right, it's me

Open the coffin

What for? There's just a corpse inside

Apart from a dead person,

fugitives, bandits, smuggled goods,
booties...

All of that could be stored there

But...

But what?

If anything should happen
after opening the coffin...

What could happen?

This person used to be very fierce

he could become an evil spirit after death

He could do anything

Bullshit, open the coffin

Yes

Is he dead or alive?

Feel him for yourself

Xue Nu, wake up

Did you see my friend inside the coffin?

What about him?

He's gone

Look, the footprints...

Blood

"Peace Inn"

Although they are not as experienced
as you

they are still considered experts
even amongst you

You'd better not hide anything from me

Don't give me reports like those
of Tie Hen's

Get lost, I'm doing business here

Get lost

I won't allow this, get lost

You cannot do business then

Not letting you off easily even
when I become a ghost

If there were ghosts

I would have died a thousand times

and wouldn't have survived till now

Have you found out the cause of his death?

He was poisoned

Poison or secret weapon?

Don't know yet

Cut up his heart yet?

His heart too?

Of course

Yes

Master Xiao

I don't think you'd be able to
find out anything

There're some tiny needles in the knees

Master Xiao

The needles and poison
have been made to be deadly

This is a Seven Stars Lethal Needle

You're right, sir

The wound from the rock
is the same as the needle's

It seems likely that the needle
came with the rock

Yes

A poisonous needle is found in the heart

Bring it over

Yes

You're clever

Guess you knew when I ordered
the heart to be cut open

that I'd find out about
The Needle sooner or later;

And hence you had no choice but to confess

But you're not sly enough

or you would have known that

I was testing your ability

How did Tie Hen die?

He was poisoned

What poison?

Don't know

I've read your report on the autopsy

I know

There's something which you should know

I've re-examined Guo Kan's body

Guo Kan died of the same cause as they did

But why couldn't you find The Needle

in Guo Kan's body

Is Tie Hen dead?

What are Tie Hen and you hiding from me?

Are you the Bloody Parrot? Speak

You should know

my men are all good at inflicting torture

You should also know

that a man of my age won't live long

I'm afraid you won't die so easily

You haven't had the power to
control one's life yet

You can't die if I wish it to be otherwise

Where's Tie Hen's coffin?

At the Parrot Brothel

It's been rumoured that Tie Hen

has become a vampire last night
and disappeared

Disappeared?

Zhang Tie, Lin Ping, you two stay behind

Yes

Show me the way to the Parrot Brothel

So you are Xue Nu?

Why didn't you move that coffin out?

This is not mine

Was it Ye Ting Feng who didn't
want to move it?

Didn't ask him...
I haven't seen him yet today

I hear he's gone to look for
his vampire friend

Maybe he's been killed by the vampire

and won't come back

- Wan Zhong
- Yes

Check the coffin

Yes

- Master Hon
- Yes

You & An Zi Hao go check
the two officers' bodies

and bring me the report immediately

Yes

My lord, the coffin has been opened twice

it wasn't nailed secure since then

Open it

Yes

Are you Ye Ting Feng?

Yes

Don't you know a coffin is used to
carry someone dead?

I do

Then why are you sleeping in there?

I don't want to become a dead man
so quickly

Oh? Someone wants to kill you?

Yes, everyone here is after my life

It may not be absolutely safe
to sleep in a coffin

You may actually suffocate & die in there

It's lucky that a vampire has been here

so nobody dares to come close

Vampire?

My lord,

a Seven Stars Lethal Needle was found

in the amputated arm of the dead officer

The Seven Stars Lethal Needle?

Are you sure Tie Hen is dead?

I can tell the difference between
a living & a dead man

A dead man using poisonous needle to kill?

You'd better go and ask that dead man

Demon eyes sometimes appear in the picture

So you covered it up?

Yes

Who's living next door?

Madam Song, she's a witch

Witch?

Vampire? A demonic drawing? Ghost eye?

Go, go and find that witch

Yes

Idiot

Who is it?

She's peeping

See, she worships devilish idols

She must be an expert in using poison

No wonder those things stink

Ask your men not to touch anything

There could be poison stains

Don't open it

Master Tong, antidote

Stop, stop fighting

Are you crazy?

Vampire

Wan Ping...

"lmperial Guard"

All here?

All here, Master San

Here's a thousand taels of silver

What can we do for you?

To go and catch someone

Who is it?

Xue Nu

That's easy, Master San, don't worry, go

Wait, Xue Nu has a personal maid

Her name is Hong Yu &
her embroidery needle is lethal

Be careful of her

Better avoid seeing her

Understood

Go

Go

Tricked

Go

Hurry and go

Be careful

The skin from the seven of you

is just enough for me to make a skirt

Attack

You are Hong Yu

Set the formation

Too bad your formation

can't cover you from all sides

There're some weak points

Since when have you learnt to
turn someone blind?

Thirty years ago

So you are the famous Doll Face

Killer Needle Lady Hong Yu

Hand Xue Nu over to me

She's safer with me

What are you doing here
at the Parrot Brothel?

She's been sent by my mother to protect me

Move the corpse away

You should know that this woman is mine

I know

Why are you taking her away?

I just want to prove one thing

What is that?

A scandal at the residence
of the Prince of Dian

What has it to do with Xue Nu?

Xue Nu isn't the daughter of Madam Li

She's the illegitimate daughter
of the Princess of Dian

and the only survivor in the family
of the Prince Dian

What makes you say that?

20 years ago, I was a painter
at the Prince residence

Although I was a humble officer then

I had the chance to get close
to the Prince

One day, I was summoned

Chief Guo, the painting is finished,
please have a look

Wait, please

The red bats originated from Long Zhou

resided at the Cave, and were licentious

This blood rock was made from
the blood of

a hundred thousand red bats

Once taken,
not only could one live forever

one could be sexually potent

The Prince is known for his lasciviousness

He is also perverse in a certain way

which I do not understand

I've been trying in vain to
figure this out

A year later the Princess gave birth
to a baby

No one knew whether it was a boy or a girl

because on the day the baby was born

someone took the child away

But before that, the Princess hung

a piece ofjade on the baby's body

And from then onwards

no one in the palace ever mentioned
about that baby

It's weird that Xue Nu
has got that piece ofjade;

the same piece
which the Princess left behind

You shouldn't have told me that

That's right, maybe I shouldn't have

It's you

You talk too much

Why did you kill her?

Death is too good for her

what's to be ashamed of?

Unfortunately we've got one lead less

You're so unfriendly the first time
we meet

It's not that easy to meet you

What do you want?

You might be familiar with this thing

It's Xue Nu's jade; also a token

from the Princess
to her illegitimate daughter

What do you mean?

I want to know who you are

What if you knew?

I still want to marry you

You've killed so many people just for this

There's one thing which you still
don't know yet

Undeniably I find you very attractive

But as compared to the treasures
of the Prince of Dian

they are more attractive

There's one thing
which you still don't know yet

I don't know what treasures
you are talking about

and I have nothing to do
with the Prince of Dian

Don't close your back door too early

Your daughter is still in my hands

Do you want to keep the treasures

or your daughter?

This poisonous dart will kill people
in about six hours

This hostage of yours won't help you much

What a vicious woman you are!

Xue Nu

I don't believe that my mother is
so vicious

Treasures

Aren't they the lost treasures
of the Prince residence?

Go

There's a way over there

Xue Nu

So you are the Bloody Parrot

who has been causing a lot of trouble

In reality, there's no such thing
as the Bloody Parrot

It's only an illuminated lamp

What tricks are you playing?

Maybe you would never know

even if you lost your life

In all respects it's to be alive than dead

You are digging your own grave

You are...

When I got involved
in the martial arts world

I no longer had any regard for my own life

But I still don't get it what Xue Nu
has to do with you

What's the Bloody Parrot all about?

There aren't many people
who are not afraid of death

I'll give you a good reason to die today

So you are...

I am the Princess of Dian

He's Chief Guo Fan

So you are still alive

We have not been dead

We've been using the rumours
about the Bloody Parrot

to make up a story

about the lost treasure

No one has ever seen the Bloody Parrot

These have just been set up
by the two of us

This sword has a spring and cannot
kill people

You did this

just to grab all for yourselves

these treasures meant as tribute
to the Emperor

You can put it in whatever way you like

I just love these treasures so much

But you've made the Prince
lose his life for nothing

Death comes to us all

Besides, he was a licentious old man

No wonder it's said that women are vicious

It's also said men are vicious

Can you be at peace with these treasures?

The two famous constables

Chang Xiao and Tie Hen are dead

What have I got to worry about?

Tie Hen is not dead

You should know that he's turned into
a vampire

Do you think a vampire is terrifying?

No

The most terrible thing is you failed
to kill me

This so-called blood rock
supposed to suck one's soul

is a secret weapon with poisonous needles

I am immune to it

When a vampire appeared
at the Parrot Brothel

I should have known that

you faked your death

But you are not smart enough

Had you released my friend
and gone back with me

you might have saved your own life

Thanks to me...

Did you save me?

It's nothing but a parrot

Xue Nu, it's you
