Lang man feng bao (1996) - full transcript
A young rebel falls for the sister of a local kickboxing champion. In order to stay out of jail, he is advised by his parole officer to begin training in the art of kickboxing. His romance with the girl blossoms but comes to a crashing halt when he is forced to face her brother in the ring. When the brother is accidentally killed, the romance ends and the young kickboxer participates in illegal street fights. When the kickboxer has a shot at the Golden Belt against the Japanese champ, he soon learns that this may be the final fight of his life.
I am the only one in the stadium who
doesn't want either one to win
or to lose
I know clearly in the back of my mind
that there will never be a draw
If have no control over the beginning
the course and the end
Hang in there!
Ken, water
Water! Water!
There's no water in it
Move it and get some water now
Water, now!
I'll have a bottle of water, please
Here's some water, master
How come it's aerated?
Come on, master!
Charge! Charge! Charge!
Master...
Let's go!
I don't need these books anymore
I've already packed the ones that I need
Take a look and see
if any of these are of use to you
Thank you, Professor Wong
Take your time
Perfect timing,
let's take a family picture
Good idea, let's do it here
OK, ready?
Oh, Ken, over here
Dr. Li, this is my youngest son
This is Dr. Li
I'm here to pack my own stuff
Don't let me interrupt you
He has always been an introvert
Hey, Ken
Hurry up please!
Ken, you don't have
to move out right away
We won't be leaving yet
You can stay here longer if you want
I've got my own place now
Are you short of money?
Let me know if you need help
Mom can help
Mom, I am a grown up
I know how to take care of myself
Ken, are you upset
because we're moving to UK without you?
Mom
I know what my problems are
Don't worry about me
Ken
I'm gonna miss you
Come on, mom
There are many guests downstairs
Call me if you need anything at all
Your guests are waiting for you
What happen to you?
Did he upset you again?
No, no!
You should leave him alone!
He never did well in school and
never managed to keep his jobs
I don't know
what he wants to do with his life
You shouldn't look down on our own kid
He's best at disappointing us
Look at your blood shot eyes
What? Really?
Our guests are waiting
Is that really you?
So you are a student of my father?
So you are the son of your father?
That's my report card
Here it is
I never did well in school
I know that
100, 100 in one subject,
failing everything else
Were you smart at school?
I was never the smart and elite type
The tutor had to motivate me
with egg custard tart
Egg custard tart?
Do I look silly?
You always stare at people like that?
Gloria, they are taking
a group photo downstairs!
Come on
Is this the type of egg custard tart
that you fell for?
No! That was the type with flaky pastry
Do you mind?
Is this type of egg custard tart?
Your driving license and ID card please
Egg custard tart with flaky pastry!
Fresh from the oven?
Get off
Stop! Stop!
Stop, stop right away
But flaky pastry are made from lard and
it's unhealthy
Isn't flaky pastry egg custard tart
taste better?
You've eaten my egg custard tart,
you have to fall for my lies
I don't think so
I won't fall for your lies, neither
Be co-operative now,
driving license and your ID
Hurry up!
I was told that these tarts are freshly
baked at 3:00 pm daily
And would be sold out quickly
I've taken care of your IRS tax
You should have let me help you earlier
I thought you're busy with your homework
Why don't you just said you forgot?
Who's this? He's quite good looking
He is Yamada Motokazu
He's the boxing champion in Asia
You mean that
there is someone more powerful than you?
I'm just the boxing champ in Hong Kong
I will challenge him
It's about time a new Asian boxing
champ emerge from Hong Kong
You're the best
You silly!
You are the one who's silly!
Bye!
It's you again?
Don't you have anything to do at all?
Coming for your boyfriend?
You're breathing so fast
You ruthless idiot!
I want to kiss you
at your boyfriend's doorsteps
You're hurting me
What happen?
I've twisted my ankle!
What are you doing?
Are you OK?
Brother
It's OK, he's my friend
I felt on the staircase, that's all
Let's go, let's go now
The guy is
from the Powerful Hawk boxing gym
They twisted around on the floor
It looks pretty indecent to me!
I'll teach him a lesson!
Shut up and go back to practice
Let's go!
I can't move! It's very painful!
You're not thinking of giving me
a piggy-back, are you?
You can't walk
I'll take you to a Chinese chiropractor
There's one around the corner
Turn left
No, it should be on the right
No...
It should be the next street corner
Hold it guys!
Are you two having a fight?
No, we are not
No?
Your ID card please
It's in my pocket,
will you get it for me please
You get it!
Take it easy
Be cool!
This is your life history or what?
Calling console, please check ID G133339
Roger...
You've to go to the station with us
Why?
You'll know when you're there
Can I take her to the doctor first?
I'll go with you
Fine! Then let's go
Should I begin now?
She has twisted her ankle,
please let her stay here
If you don't mind
Why does it take the cops
to track you down?
You promised to meet every 6 weeks
It's been over 4 months
since we last met
You've forced me to stain your file
It's gonna be tough to your record
It's your counselor talking to you
Can you please give me some response?
I'm rushing to take her to the doctor
We'll get over this soon
if you co-operate
I called the boxing gym and
couldn't get a hold of you
That means
you're no longer working there
So where are you working now?
I don't have a job
You don't have a job?
Tell me what's your goal in life
Give me an answer to fill in the report!
She is my goal in life
Her?
Your goal in life?
But you can't hug and kiss
around the clock, right?
Do something for her, think about it
think about the future
I would eventually find something
that suits me
Then you should call Black Jack Hung
at this number
Not full house and not flush
His name is Black Jack Hung
What does he do?
He specializes in teaching kick boxing
He used to!
I don't want to fight anymore
You want me to fill
in "flirting with girls"
under the "occupation" column?
Now sign this and
report to the duty officer
Wait for me here, I'll be quick
I am Gloria
Gloria, what do you do?
I'm a student Hong Kong University
HKU! I was also graduated from HKU!
So I am your senior schoolmate
How long have you known him?
A little over one hour
I have to warn you about him
He was sent to correction center
due to assault
He has criminal record,
I mean criminal record
I don't understand
what you're trying to say
I don't think he's your type,
you know what I mean?
I don't
I don't understand
what kind of a counselor you are
Aren't you supposed to give him a fresh,
clean start?
I am a professional counselor
I don't need your advice
You are still young
Some stain can't be cleaned up
by scrubbing hard with detergent
Let me tell you something
My brother and my deceased father
all have criminal records
Although I am not counselor
I have full respect for them
Just because they are human being
and not what you refer
to as "Dirty stain can't be cleaned up"
Let's go
We meet once every 6 weeks
Is your ankle OK now?
Are you looking down on me?
Yes, I am looking down on you
It was the day I got my exam result
I did poorly at my exam
I didn't know
how to break the news to my dad
There were these 3 kids
they were asking my schoolmates
for triad protection fee
So I beat them up
and they all ended up in hospital
The judge asked me before the sentence:
"Do you know what have you done wrong?"
I said, "I can only promise one thing...
I shall beat them up again
whenever I see them"
I ended up in the correction center
That's why I can't migrate
with my family to the UK
I don't despise on your past
I am looking down on who you are now!
What are you doing now?
I am trying to win your heart
Then what?
You can win my heart easily
You almost did
To have the boyfriend
being the best and admirable
is the dream of every single girl
My brother's file at the police station
is 10 times thicker than yours
One day, he decided not to bow his head
in front of anyone
He quit drugs,
stop drinking and gambling
He stayed in the boxing gym
and trained everyday
Now he is the kick boxing champion
A man like that is admirable
Why are people looking down on you?
The most hopeless person has his talent
You shouldn't waste your own time
Hi, kid
What's the matter?
Where's your master?
Line up now
Master Hung
Bow
Foot stand has to be sturdy
This way you could be easily knockdown,
understand?
I called earlier, my name is Ken
It's all here!
Every Wednesday and Saturday
we have Taekwondo classes
and on Tuesday and Thursday
there are Yong Chun boxing
Pick whatever you want
I want to learn kick boxing and
join tournaments
I don't train boxers
It's too tough for you and for me
Number 3...
I told you the winner is number 3
Hey, I've won 3 in a roll
If I bet on three Tierce
I could have got over tens of millions
How much did you win?
I quit gambling
With your sharp eyes on horses,
why quit gambling?
It's perfect pick on horses only
after I quit gambling
I guess that's fate
You can gamble anytime
No way! I've made my promise to God,
I must keep my words
About my training
Look at the man behind us,
having his bowl of noodles
His name is Benson
He is a partner in this pub
He used to be boxing champ of HK,
won the Golden Belt 3 times
Notice the way he eats
It's Parkinson disease
It's not too terminal yet
How much does the Golden Belt worth?
How much is the prize money?
Does it worth it?
Benson
Hey, Black Jack, how are you doing?
I'll buy you the next round of drinks
Thanks a lot!
See that?
The disease also affects his speech
Mohammad Ali the champ, he's the same
American boxing champ can get big bucks
Hong Kong boxing champ
Leads to no where
That's why
I don't teach kick boxing anymore
Volka soda
Volka lime
Tiger
What do you guys want?
Tiger
2 tiger
Rocky, the kid is over there
Hey kid, I remember you
Aren't you
with the Powerful Hawk boxing gym?
Trying to lure Master Hung
to take up coaching again
Not at all, we're just chatting
That's right,
I would like Master Hung to train me up
I didn't promise him that
I hope I can beat you in the ring
You are my target
First you are after my sister
Now you want to beat me
Fine!
Since you have not yet found a master
I'll give you a lesson today!
Master Hung,
the next race is about to start
Kick boxing teaching
include punch, kick, elbow and knee
I guess you knew about that already
But I bet
you never experience that before
I'll grant you the opportunity
to experience it
Lift you hand higher
to protect your head
Come on!
Hands are at the right position
But not tough enough
Come on now!
But then there's the kick
On your feet now
Good!
On your feet!
Over here, come...
Hey kid, you're a piece of shit
Rocky, stop it
Rocky, stop it, you're gonna kill him
So that's really
Hong Kong's boxing champ
Black Jack, still got your stuff, yeah?
Be a hero and fight him in the ring
Is he qualified?
That's something for me to worry about
OK, I'll be happy to play along
Whenever you say he's ready
Hey kid, stop harassing my sister
Or else I'll beat your brains out
You can still change your mind
while you can
Are you talking about yourself?
Rocky Chan is the miracle
of the Hong Kong boxing field
So can I
Still have not changed your mind?
What do you think?
Warm up first
It's been done
Get the bag from up there
Put this on
Your loading is now at 70 lbs
From here to Happy Valley and
return is about 7 kilometers
I want you to be back in an hour
You want me to jog around town like this
That's the way I train!
I thought you wanted miracle
Go now!
Come over here
Use everything you have
to fight a round with him
Time's up
That's it for today
Come back the day after
What?
You didn't teach me anything
I've gotta go to work,
I haven't even brushed my teeth!
I've paid for classes, you know!
Den
this is for you,
come again the day after
That's really expensive!
You want people to come and
let you beat up for free?
When we used up all money
you can practice against the mirror
Don't look at me,
I'm not the hands on type
And, next time you can load yourself
with the chains
and only wake me up
after you finish jogging
I am really late...
With your size, you are best
with the medium range boxing style
That is when you get near the opponent,
to use
your punch, your knee and elbow
to knock him down
In order to get near him,
you must have solid defense
Now, you must learn to watch the punches
Never close your eyes
Even when you're punched in the face
You must keep your eyes wide open
Hold his head
Good, let him go
Are you out of your mind?
You told me to get near and punch
Right!
Den,
practice the knee and elbow with him
I am about to go into the tournament
I can't lose
Come, let's do a few more rounds
Go ahead and practice
with the sand bay for now
It's my first fight on Saturday
I hope to see you there
There is nobody to help you
inside the ring
I can yell as hard as I possibly can
You won't even understand a word
It's all up to you
Ken Wong, ready for the next match
Concentrate
Just think about knocking him down
There is no strategy
Trust me
You can knock him down
with 50% of your power
No punching at the crotch
No punching behind the head
"Fight" is to start the match
"Stop" is to stop fighting
OK?
OK?
The following match features the Rookie
The rookie Ken Wong Vs. Iron Horse Ma
from the Victory Club
Iron Horse Ma shows a record of
3 wins 2 ties, not too bad
Don't think about anything right now
Concentrate on knocking him out
Fight
Excuse me
The fight looks
like a kindergarten playground session
I should have gone to see a dog fight
Stop!
Stop
Back to your corner
That was excellent
What the hell are you doing?
Back to your side!
You're at the blue corner
Move it!
Why don't we just leave?
The ticket cost 200 bucks
I deserve to see some blood
That kid was really lousy
Can't move back to his corner,
can't even cover his head
Attack his head
Kick him back...
Don't you know how to kick?
Where's your foot?
Stop!
Back off now
On your feet!
One
On your feet!
Two. On your feet!
Three
Four
Five
Six
Come on, now!
Seven
Eight
Fight
Stop!
Fight!
You should have used your kicks sooner
I've paid 200 bucks,
why don't you show some participation?
Hooray! Well done!
I won!
Don't let this get over your head!
That was really a fluke
This kid's got some potential
It's over now?
Technical knock out
He's got potential, not bad!
Let's go!
This trophy is falling apart
Is this the first time you win a trophy?
This is for you
Come with me
Where are we going?
Just follow me
What are you doing?
My family are leaving tonight
I was gonna ask them to watch my fight
I just couldn't say it
Things are hard to express
when you don't want to say it
Nobody understand me
Why?
I asked my dad not to put
too much pressure on my studies
He said he didn't
He didn't realise that he's a professor
and my mom is a high school principal
My sister had excellent academic results
There is nothing else on her mind!
I don't want to be measured
By their set of standard
That was too much for me
Tell me about you
My family never push me to study
In fact, my whole family is illiterate
I was doing poorly at school
when I was a kid
I didn't want to live an average life
like my family did
I really want to know
what the world was like out there
So I studied real hard
My father used to be a fish hawker
He passed away when I was 14
Mom said he's a strong man
He alone could knock over 6 to 7 hawkers
in the market
All I remembered was his big hands
touching my cheek
With an overwhelming smell of fish
My brother still touches my cheeks
the same way
Bye
Bye
Bye
Bye bye
Please don't stare at me like that
I wouldn't want to go home then
Bye
Bye
I don't want to let you go either
What did you say?
Bye!
You're really late!
Pam's been calling for you
You should return her call
Alright
This is really dangerous
I want to see you a bit longer
Aren't you tired
with that endless kissing?
You're right,
I wonder why I still love it
My mom's home
Are you out of your mind?
Don't worry, there's no men outside
Isn't there another fitting room?
We're good friends;
I don't think you'd mind?
Why do you need that padded bra?
Is that for him?
Don't you start with a dirty mind, OK?
Are you in love with him?
No
Are you?
No...
Tell me, is it true?
Yes... yes
Yes... yes
What is it?
Gloria, men are not loyal
Gays often change their partners
Only women are loyal to their love
But you can't force people
into a relationship
Oh! I really want to beat you up
Do you know where's the mole on her back
You don't even know when is her period!
That's enough, Pam
Gloria, but I really love you!
This is not going anywhere! I like men
You two can stay as friends
Shut up, I don't need your advice
Gloria, are you going to pick him or me?
I don't want to go home
So where do you want to go?
To your place
Why?
I want to know if I really love you
Why is there only 1 fish?
I didn't have time to take care of them
They died one by one
It's the only survivor
It's so lonely!
That's not too bad
He's got the whole world by himself
He needs not to care
about other's opinion
What an introvert!
Come and feed him everyday
I shall cook you for dinner
You are sick!
I'm hungry
I'm hungry too
I want to know
if I really love you or not
One two three
Fight!
Stop!
How exciting!
No punching at the crotch and
behind the head
"Fight" is start the match,
"Stop" to stop fighting
Don't press too hard,
he was once your master
It's OK to lose
Ken, are you ready?
We're waiting for you
Can you get me a towel?
Let's shower together, come on
You're bad!
Stop it now!
Brother
We didn't do anything
Rocky
Is Rocky Chan of Flying Dragon Club here
Yes
You're next, get ready
I wanna challenge you
It's only a joke, it is not time yet
Winning a few matches won't make you
a champion
I'll play along, you ask for it!
Let's go, I have my next match fixed
Don't look at me
Don't ask me anything
I don't know what to do
What do you want from me?
I shall fight with your brother
on the coming match
Why?
I shall meet him in the ring anyway
Excuse me
Next please
It is just a matter of time
You didn't even care about my feelings
You're afraid that I will heat him
I'm afraid you may lose
I can never compare with your brother
Deep down within your heart
What color of clothes did I wear
when we first met?
I forgot
Of course you forgot
Because I bear no significance
in your heart
Disgusting!
This straight stride kick
is one of the toughest ones
by Rocky Chan
And is especially formulated
for mid-range fighter like you
This would keep you away from him
Moreover, you can only take
a few of this kick
Rocky Chan would land this 3-4 times
harder than this one
What should I do then?
You may stand a chance
if you can trade 1 for 1
I don't get it
Try to land me a kick
When he kicks you
you use the other leg
to block his powerful kick
You got 100% of the force
but he would also get 60-70% back
And if the power
of his right foot diminishes
then you may have a chance
to get closer for your attack
The question is...
are my legs as strong as his?
Sure!
Master Hung, I've got some snack
for all of you
Den, take a break
Thanks
Master Hung
Thanks
Master Hung, please
Have some dessert
I thought you want me
to loose some weight?
Please tell her that I cannot eat
He is on diet
And I'm trying to put on some weight
Master Hung, please tell him that
if he doesn't eat now
he will never get his dessert from me
You tell her that I've had it already
He's had his dessert already
Master Hung
Please tell him
fight hard, and not to lose big time
Master Hung, please tell her that
I shall never lose
Please tell him that he'd better not
Please tell her that I shall win
I shall leave now
Bye!
What are you doing?
Where are my pictures?
Who's this guy with the ugly sun tan?
You really stinks!
Better take a bath now
The bed sheet stinks too
You're stinky too, that's why?
Please hurry up and take a bath
Let's take a bath together
Go away! You jerk, go away
He's inside
and wants to be alone
Is he confident?
You better ask him yourself
I taught him all I know
Go in
Ken, I wanna talk to you
Yesterday I...
I thought you'd never come
You thought I don't want you to win?
But he is your brother
Don't worry, I am still very confident
I am telling you
I care about you most
I want you to win
Give it your best!
Hi, John
John
Rocky, let's chat for a while
Leave us alone
The odds are for you
to knock him out in the first round
Let him stay alive for a few more rounds
And I will make
over a hundred thousand in cash
There will be a cut for you
OK?
Do you have any idea
how many matches have I fought?
More than 60 matches
78 matches, and never put on a show
What's up?
Let's talk some other time
This is a lucky charm
Are you worried?
No
You silly
You should go now
Tell him to give it his best
I was gonna tell you
in the changing room that
we had a baby
But you don't give me
a chance to tell you
I understand that all fighters will meet
in the ring
As a woman
I would, for some silly reasons
hope that this day will never come
Stop!
One, two, three
Four
Stop!
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
OK, fight
Stop!
OK?
Fight!
Would you like some soda?
Ice cream cone, pop sickle
or mineral water, what do you want?
Whatever
Whatever?
Pop sickle OK?
Pop sickle
Keep it up, don't give up
There's a chance for you!
Come on
What happened?
I couldn't remember a thing
You won
Rocky Chan is dead
It was an accident
He broke his neck and vascular vein
Mrs Chan
take care
I'm sorry
Please follow me to register
We will get someone to take care of him
Gloria
You murderer, putting on a show here?
How dare you to come here?
Don't you get near here!
Get out! Now!
We're gonna kill you
if you get over here
Kill him!
Please keep quiet at a time like this
It's your own decision
You should tell him yourself
The court has ruled this as an accident
they will understand, eventually
Master Hung
Ken is indeed a quality fighter
with talent
You should get him back
in the ring immediately
He has defeated Rocky Chan
We should let him represent HK
at the Asian Boxing Championship
Ken's situation is rather special
He is not suitable to attend any fights
You sure have proven
you are the real champ here
Why don't you attend
in our fights instead
Nobody is responsible
for any inquiry or death!
Less regulations and
more exciting fights
Cash reward is over ten times
more than a regular tournament
We are not interested
in underground matches
I'll do it
I seem to hear
two opposite opinions here
I am his trainer
Nobody can stop whatever I decided
Take care of yourself
What's your name?
Gloria Chan
Do you know the name
of doctor performing the operation?
Dr. Keith Wong
Do you know
what kind of operation is that?
Abortion
Gloria Chan, the operation is over
Here's a specimen
Ring the bell if you need anything
It appears that
there is a clot of blood in your brain
How did you injure yourself?
Boxing
I was injured during a fight
It is possible that
the vascular tube had ruptured
Which cause the blood to clot here
You must undergo more examinations
in the hospital now
Don't worry
this is only the initial
It may not be that serious
Nurse, please arrange
admission registration for him
Yes
I can walk myself
I will go to registration myself
Ken, we're closed now
It's time to go
Willy, you can go home first
People call me Benson
I was once 3 times boxing champion
I know that
Take a look at me now
The doctor asked me to quit drinking
I suggest you to stop fighting like this
It's leading no where
Fighting in the underground boxing world
no gloves and no protection
I like the feeling with flesh
Image your head as a water-melon?
Punching it with your bare fist
You can check the water-melon afterwards
It's gonna be all mushy inside out
My hands illustrate the point best
You don't think it's worth it?
I never thought about it that way
When it comes to sports
One would get tennis elbow
by just playing tennis
There's bound to be injured
in any sports
I would probably be a site foreman
if I didn't pick up boxing
But I would not think
I am that outstanding
I would have made more money
But it is the cheers
by thousands of fans for you
The special feeling in the ring
I was once the best boxer
I did it! I got fame and glory
in my life once!
And that's enough
My wife still couldn't understand
this feeling
Ken, the best I can do
is the champion of Hong Kong
You should continue your training
Represent Hong Kong and
get that Asian championship!
Rocky Chan and I won't be able to do it!
Too bad
Ken
Your nose's bleeding
Stop those underground boxing now
Take care of yourself
Excuse me, miss, I'm from an Ad. Agency
Are you interested in appearing
in a TV commercial?
There's a part that suits you very well
You don't have to decide right away
Why don't we take a photo first?
A big smile please!
A good smile,
where we can see your teeth
Think about something happy,
something nice
It's a tooth paste commercial,
you gotta smile a bit
Please don't cry!
OK, I won't take your picture,
just don't cry!
Don't cry! No! Don't cry please
It's just a photo,
let's forget about the picture
I didn't do anything,
I didn't do anything
Are you OK madam?
Do you need help?
Don't leave me!
I will try to explain everything to mom
My mom won't accept you
These are for you
It used to belong to my brother
I am not going to fight anymore
My brother had an unfulfilled wish
He always wanted
to challenge the Asian boxing champ
Do it for my brother and
also do it for yourself
My mom would not understand and
accept us
We must accept ourselves
You call this a parallel stand?
Yeah!
I don't think so
You are sitting on your bumb
I want to challenge the Asian champion
Dismiss
and rest for 5 minutes
Raise your hands higher, higher
Your hands higher
Higher!
Hold it a sec
You can't use
the same fighting style anymore
Losing your life doesn't necessary
make you the champ
The goal is to win
without getting killed
you understand?
This is the Asian Boxing championship
not some illegal fighting match
Forget it
I just want to call and let you know
Say hello to mom and sis for me
That's all
Take the one behind please
Brother had wished for an Asian champ
Save it. I won't forgive him
You know I am stubborn
I know
I have your genes, you know
Yamada Motokazu is
an all rounded fighter
Whether it is short,
medium or long range
His power of attack
is surprisingly consistent
Notice that before he land his punch
his shoulder would retreat a little
Don't bail out!
Instead you should thrust forward
Try punching me now
if you thrust forward
He can only have 50% of his power out
If you simultaneously thrust forward
with a punch
and landed on him
do a little maths of physics,
and you'll understand?
You'll get the upper hand
Are you OK?
I am fine
Can't go to sleep?
Don't worry
I will surely win tomorrow
I want to bear a child for you
Let's get married first
I've been hiding something from you
Please don't scold me if I tell you now
Before your match with my brother
I was pregnant
I thought that was the end
to our relationship
Let's get married
after this match
We will have a kid
I can't lose
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
Have you seen my mom and dad?
Not yet
I've told Pam to wait for them
at the entrance
Forget it, they never understand
what is boxing
How would they take a long fight back
to see me fight?
Hey, Pao
You've gained some fat, Black Jack
Oh just a few pounds
Like a big barrel, man
You are a totally different person
with a goal in life, right?
HKU?
With the same girl friend, impressive!
I want to apologize about last time
You were doing your job to warn me
What happened last time
Nothing
No big deal...
Make sure you knock out
the Japanese boxer!
Chinese Kung-fu!
Don't worry,
I've bet a lot of money on him
I thought you said
you would never gamble?
Yeah, but I remember
I promise God that
I'd never bet on horses
I never said anything about boxing
Darn, I could have been a rich guy
if I bet on it
In your dreams
It's time to start the match!
Ladies and gentlemen
We present to you
the Asia kick boxing championship match
Starring the Hong Kong boxing champ,
Ken Wong
In the blue corner,
Hong Kong boxing champ Ken Wong
This is his first fight since
the accidental death of Rocky Chan
Ken... Ken...
and his opponent is from Japan
Asian boxing champ
Mr. Yamada Motokazu
In the red corner, Yamada Motokazu
He has managed to retain
his Golden Belt crown
through numerous challenges
in the 3 years that
he has been the Asian boxing champ
Come on! Relax a bit!
Avoid getting hit hard, OK?
Got it?
He's such a snob
What do you want to tell me?
You know your strength
and your weakness
His punches are heavy
so try not get hit on the head
Swipe his legs. Don't let him corner you
Stop

OK, continue with this strategy
Attack him with your legs,
try to burn him out
He's lack of fighting experience
You can surely knock him out, understand
His kicks are fast, I couldn't get close
Use your leg to block his kicks
and more forward
with your powerful stuff
Box
Yes, that's right!
You see that?
Something wrong with his head
Attack his head
Return the punches,
you want to lose to the Japanese?
You Japanese?
Go away!
Only 5 seconds left, hang in there
Hang in tight
Stop!
That was a good round!
They've got you all figure out
Strengthen your defense and
rush your attack
Move in faster
Keep it up! Keep it up, Ken!
Don't get too pump up!
You've got high blood pressure!
It's only diabetes
Keep it up Ken!

Don't let him have any chance to recoup
That's superb
Show some participation, will you?
Stop
Back to the blue corner
There's always a second chance
for everything
You know what I mean
You've been my master
for quite some time now
Have you ever seen me back out?
You stupid!
How could you let him rough you up?
Listen, you know everything
about his weakness
You can finish him off
in the next round, OK?

That's the best he can do
Let's do it again next time, shall we?
I can do it
I saw it!
See how worried are
your family and your girlfriend!
Ken
Ken!
I spotted his weakness
Can you listen to me please?
Did I ever listen to you?
My mom and dad came all the way from UK
Not to see me surrender

Can you continue with the fight
No problem, I can continue
Yes, I can continue
Good, continue then
What do you want to tell me?
As your master
I kept repeating this to you
The boxing ring is
like the stage of life
You can only rely on yourself
You decide on whatever you want to do
At this stage of the fight
It's possible to lose
Even though it may cost a limb
you must bring
the Golden Belt back to Japan
He's not gonna forgive you
if you force him to quit now

Come to fight me in Japan
I'll get it back
Anytime!
Why not take the risk and
go ahead with the operation?
The chance is just too slim
Why not let him go in peace?
You should stay with him
while his condition is stable
He's been through a lot of tests
He's a miracle in boxing
Why can't you make another miracle?
Dad
I've always wanted to be a son
that meets your standard
Ken
I'm sorry
What is it?
At last we've got the Golden Belt
Do you have confidence
in the next match...
I do
I'll be out of the hospital soon
Arrange the fight in Japan
I've promised the challenge of Yamada
OK!
You are a good master
You take a rest
Worry?
No
I've survived
the toughest matches and won
I am not going to lose this battle
No, you won't lose
This is my life
I am not going to lose
You will recover soon
I will go to Japan with you to fight
I don't think so
By that time
You could have possibly
been pregnant!
Who's gonna take care of me
when you're at the match?
You can stay with your mom
When I'm pregnant
I can't ride in the back
of your motor bike!
When I'm pregnant
I can't ride in the back
of your motor bike!
doesn't want either one to win
or to lose
I know clearly in the back of my mind
that there will never be a draw
If have no control over the beginning
the course and the end
Hang in there!
Ken, water
Water! Water!
There's no water in it
Move it and get some water now
Water, now!
I'll have a bottle of water, please
Here's some water, master
How come it's aerated?
Come on, master!
Charge! Charge! Charge!
Master...
Let's go!
I don't need these books anymore
I've already packed the ones that I need
Take a look and see
if any of these are of use to you
Thank you, Professor Wong
Take your time
Perfect timing,
let's take a family picture
Good idea, let's do it here
OK, ready?
Oh, Ken, over here
Dr. Li, this is my youngest son
This is Dr. Li
I'm here to pack my own stuff
Don't let me interrupt you
He has always been an introvert
Hey, Ken
Hurry up please!
Ken, you don't have
to move out right away
We won't be leaving yet
You can stay here longer if you want
I've got my own place now
Are you short of money?
Let me know if you need help
Mom can help
Mom, I am a grown up
I know how to take care of myself
Ken, are you upset
because we're moving to UK without you?
Mom
I know what my problems are
Don't worry about me
Ken
I'm gonna miss you
Come on, mom
There are many guests downstairs
Call me if you need anything at all
Your guests are waiting for you
What happen to you?
Did he upset you again?
No, no!
You should leave him alone!
He never did well in school and
never managed to keep his jobs
I don't know
what he wants to do with his life
You shouldn't look down on our own kid
He's best at disappointing us
Look at your blood shot eyes
What? Really?
Our guests are waiting
Is that really you?
So you are a student of my father?
So you are the son of your father?
That's my report card
Here it is
I never did well in school
I know that
100, 100 in one subject,
failing everything else
Were you smart at school?
I was never the smart and elite type
The tutor had to motivate me
with egg custard tart
Egg custard tart?
Do I look silly?
You always stare at people like that?
Gloria, they are taking
a group photo downstairs!
Come on
Is this the type of egg custard tart
that you fell for?
No! That was the type with flaky pastry
Do you mind?
Is this type of egg custard tart?
Your driving license and ID card please
Egg custard tart with flaky pastry!
Fresh from the oven?
Get off
Stop! Stop!
Stop, stop right away
But flaky pastry are made from lard and
it's unhealthy
Isn't flaky pastry egg custard tart
taste better?
You've eaten my egg custard tart,
you have to fall for my lies
I don't think so
I won't fall for your lies, neither
Be co-operative now,
driving license and your ID
Hurry up!
I was told that these tarts are freshly
baked at 3:00 pm daily
And would be sold out quickly
I've taken care of your IRS tax
You should have let me help you earlier
I thought you're busy with your homework
Why don't you just said you forgot?
Who's this? He's quite good looking
He is Yamada Motokazu
He's the boxing champion in Asia
You mean that
there is someone more powerful than you?
I'm just the boxing champ in Hong Kong
I will challenge him
It's about time a new Asian boxing
champ emerge from Hong Kong
You're the best
You silly!
You are the one who's silly!
Bye!
It's you again?
Don't you have anything to do at all?
Coming for your boyfriend?
You're breathing so fast
You ruthless idiot!
I want to kiss you
at your boyfriend's doorsteps
You're hurting me
What happen?
I've twisted my ankle!
What are you doing?
Are you OK?
Brother
It's OK, he's my friend
I felt on the staircase, that's all
Let's go, let's go now
The guy is
from the Powerful Hawk boxing gym
They twisted around on the floor
It looks pretty indecent to me!
I'll teach him a lesson!
Shut up and go back to practice
Let's go!
I can't move! It's very painful!
You're not thinking of giving me
a piggy-back, are you?
You can't walk
I'll take you to a Chinese chiropractor
There's one around the corner
Turn left
No, it should be on the right
No...
It should be the next street corner
Hold it guys!
Are you two having a fight?
No, we are not
No?
Your ID card please
It's in my pocket,
will you get it for me please
You get it!
Take it easy
Be cool!
This is your life history or what?
Calling console, please check ID G133339
Roger...
You've to go to the station with us
Why?
You'll know when you're there
Can I take her to the doctor first?
I'll go with you
Fine! Then let's go
Should I begin now?
She has twisted her ankle,
please let her stay here
If you don't mind
Why does it take the cops
to track you down?
You promised to meet every 6 weeks
It's been over 4 months
since we last met
You've forced me to stain your file
It's gonna be tough to your record
It's your counselor talking to you
Can you please give me some response?
I'm rushing to take her to the doctor
We'll get over this soon
if you co-operate
I called the boxing gym and
couldn't get a hold of you
That means
you're no longer working there
So where are you working now?
I don't have a job
You don't have a job?
Tell me what's your goal in life
Give me an answer to fill in the report!
She is my goal in life
Her?
Your goal in life?
But you can't hug and kiss
around the clock, right?
Do something for her, think about it
think about the future
I would eventually find something
that suits me
Then you should call Black Jack Hung
at this number
Not full house and not flush
His name is Black Jack Hung
What does he do?
He specializes in teaching kick boxing
He used to!
I don't want to fight anymore
You want me to fill
in "flirting with girls"
under the "occupation" column?
Now sign this and
report to the duty officer
Wait for me here, I'll be quick
I am Gloria
Gloria, what do you do?
I'm a student Hong Kong University
HKU! I was also graduated from HKU!
So I am your senior schoolmate
How long have you known him?
A little over one hour
I have to warn you about him
He was sent to correction center
due to assault
He has criminal record,
I mean criminal record
I don't understand
what you're trying to say
I don't think he's your type,
you know what I mean?
I don't
I don't understand
what kind of a counselor you are
Aren't you supposed to give him a fresh,
clean start?
I am a professional counselor
I don't need your advice
You are still young
Some stain can't be cleaned up
by scrubbing hard with detergent
Let me tell you something
My brother and my deceased father
all have criminal records
Although I am not counselor
I have full respect for them
Just because they are human being
and not what you refer
to as "Dirty stain can't be cleaned up"
Let's go
We meet once every 6 weeks
Is your ankle OK now?
Are you looking down on me?
Yes, I am looking down on you
It was the day I got my exam result
I did poorly at my exam
I didn't know
how to break the news to my dad
There were these 3 kids
they were asking my schoolmates
for triad protection fee
So I beat them up
and they all ended up in hospital
The judge asked me before the sentence:
"Do you know what have you done wrong?"
I said, "I can only promise one thing...
I shall beat them up again
whenever I see them"
I ended up in the correction center
That's why I can't migrate
with my family to the UK
I don't despise on your past
I am looking down on who you are now!
What are you doing now?
I am trying to win your heart
Then what?
You can win my heart easily
You almost did
To have the boyfriend
being the best and admirable
is the dream of every single girl
My brother's file at the police station
is 10 times thicker than yours
One day, he decided not to bow his head
in front of anyone
He quit drugs,
stop drinking and gambling
He stayed in the boxing gym
and trained everyday
Now he is the kick boxing champion
A man like that is admirable
Why are people looking down on you?
The most hopeless person has his talent
You shouldn't waste your own time
Hi, kid
What's the matter?
Where's your master?
Line up now
Master Hung
Bow
Foot stand has to be sturdy
This way you could be easily knockdown,
understand?
I called earlier, my name is Ken
It's all here!
Every Wednesday and Saturday
we have Taekwondo classes
and on Tuesday and Thursday
there are Yong Chun boxing
Pick whatever you want
I want to learn kick boxing and
join tournaments
I don't train boxers
It's too tough for you and for me
Number 3...
I told you the winner is number 3
Hey, I've won 3 in a roll
If I bet on three Tierce
I could have got over tens of millions
How much did you win?
I quit gambling
With your sharp eyes on horses,
why quit gambling?
It's perfect pick on horses only
after I quit gambling
I guess that's fate
You can gamble anytime
No way! I've made my promise to God,
I must keep my words
About my training
Look at the man behind us,
having his bowl of noodles
His name is Benson
He is a partner in this pub
He used to be boxing champ of HK,
won the Golden Belt 3 times
Notice the way he eats
It's Parkinson disease
It's not too terminal yet
How much does the Golden Belt worth?
How much is the prize money?
Does it worth it?
Benson
Hey, Black Jack, how are you doing?
I'll buy you the next round of drinks
Thanks a lot!
See that?
The disease also affects his speech
Mohammad Ali the champ, he's the same
American boxing champ can get big bucks
Hong Kong boxing champ
Leads to no where
That's why
I don't teach kick boxing anymore
Volka soda
Volka lime
Tiger
What do you guys want?
Tiger
2 tiger
Rocky, the kid is over there
Hey kid, I remember you
Aren't you
with the Powerful Hawk boxing gym?
Trying to lure Master Hung
to take up coaching again
Not at all, we're just chatting
That's right,
I would like Master Hung to train me up
I didn't promise him that
I hope I can beat you in the ring
You are my target
First you are after my sister
Now you want to beat me
Fine!
Since you have not yet found a master
I'll give you a lesson today!
Master Hung,
the next race is about to start
Kick boxing teaching
include punch, kick, elbow and knee
I guess you knew about that already
But I bet
you never experience that before
I'll grant you the opportunity
to experience it
Lift you hand higher
to protect your head
Come on!
Hands are at the right position
But not tough enough
Come on now!
But then there's the kick
On your feet now
Good!
On your feet!
Over here, come...
Hey kid, you're a piece of shit
Rocky, stop it
Rocky, stop it, you're gonna kill him
So that's really
Hong Kong's boxing champ
Black Jack, still got your stuff, yeah?
Be a hero and fight him in the ring
Is he qualified?
That's something for me to worry about
OK, I'll be happy to play along
Whenever you say he's ready
Hey kid, stop harassing my sister
Or else I'll beat your brains out
You can still change your mind
while you can
Are you talking about yourself?
Rocky Chan is the miracle
of the Hong Kong boxing field
So can I
Still have not changed your mind?
What do you think?
Warm up first
It's been done
Get the bag from up there
Put this on
Your loading is now at 70 lbs
From here to Happy Valley and
return is about 7 kilometers
I want you to be back in an hour
You want me to jog around town like this
That's the way I train!
I thought you wanted miracle
Go now!
Come over here
Use everything you have
to fight a round with him
Time's up
That's it for today
Come back the day after
What?
You didn't teach me anything
I've gotta go to work,
I haven't even brushed my teeth!
I've paid for classes, you know!
Den
this is for you,
come again the day after
That's really expensive!
You want people to come and
let you beat up for free?
When we used up all money
you can practice against the mirror
Don't look at me,
I'm not the hands on type
And, next time you can load yourself
with the chains
and only wake me up
after you finish jogging
I am really late...
With your size, you are best
with the medium range boxing style
That is when you get near the opponent,
to use
your punch, your knee and elbow
to knock him down
In order to get near him,
you must have solid defense
Now, you must learn to watch the punches
Never close your eyes
Even when you're punched in the face
You must keep your eyes wide open
Hold his head
Good, let him go
Are you out of your mind?
You told me to get near and punch
Right!
Den,
practice the knee and elbow with him
I am about to go into the tournament
I can't lose
Come, let's do a few more rounds
Go ahead and practice
with the sand bay for now
It's my first fight on Saturday
I hope to see you there
There is nobody to help you
inside the ring
I can yell as hard as I possibly can
You won't even understand a word
It's all up to you
Ken Wong, ready for the next match
Concentrate
Just think about knocking him down
There is no strategy
Trust me
You can knock him down
with 50% of your power
No punching at the crotch
No punching behind the head
"Fight" is to start the match
"Stop" is to stop fighting
OK?
OK?
The following match features the Rookie
The rookie Ken Wong Vs. Iron Horse Ma
from the Victory Club
Iron Horse Ma shows a record of
3 wins 2 ties, not too bad
Don't think about anything right now
Concentrate on knocking him out
Fight
Excuse me
The fight looks
like a kindergarten playground session
I should have gone to see a dog fight
Stop!
Stop
Back to your corner
That was excellent
What the hell are you doing?
Back to your side!
You're at the blue corner
Move it!
Why don't we just leave?
The ticket cost 200 bucks
I deserve to see some blood
That kid was really lousy
Can't move back to his corner,
can't even cover his head
Attack his head
Kick him back...
Don't you know how to kick?
Where's your foot?
Stop!
Back off now
On your feet!
One
On your feet!
Two. On your feet!
Three
Four
Five
Six
Come on, now!
Seven
Eight
Fight
Stop!
Fight!
You should have used your kicks sooner
I've paid 200 bucks,
why don't you show some participation?
Hooray! Well done!
I won!
Don't let this get over your head!
That was really a fluke
This kid's got some potential
It's over now?
Technical knock out
He's got potential, not bad!
Let's go!
This trophy is falling apart
Is this the first time you win a trophy?
This is for you
Come with me
Where are we going?
Just follow me
What are you doing?
My family are leaving tonight
I was gonna ask them to watch my fight
I just couldn't say it
Things are hard to express
when you don't want to say it
Nobody understand me
Why?
I asked my dad not to put
too much pressure on my studies
He said he didn't
He didn't realise that he's a professor
and my mom is a high school principal
My sister had excellent academic results
There is nothing else on her mind!
I don't want to be measured
By their set of standard
That was too much for me
Tell me about you
My family never push me to study
In fact, my whole family is illiterate
I was doing poorly at school
when I was a kid
I didn't want to live an average life
like my family did
I really want to know
what the world was like out there
So I studied real hard
My father used to be a fish hawker
He passed away when I was 14
Mom said he's a strong man
He alone could knock over 6 to 7 hawkers
in the market
All I remembered was his big hands
touching my cheek
With an overwhelming smell of fish
My brother still touches my cheeks
the same way
Bye
Bye
Bye
Bye bye
Please don't stare at me like that
I wouldn't want to go home then
Bye
Bye
I don't want to let you go either
What did you say?
Bye!
You're really late!
Pam's been calling for you
You should return her call
Alright
This is really dangerous
I want to see you a bit longer
Aren't you tired
with that endless kissing?
You're right,
I wonder why I still love it
My mom's home
Are you out of your mind?
Don't worry, there's no men outside
Isn't there another fitting room?
We're good friends;
I don't think you'd mind?
Why do you need that padded bra?
Is that for him?
Don't you start with a dirty mind, OK?
Are you in love with him?
No
Are you?
No...
Tell me, is it true?
Yes... yes
Yes... yes
What is it?
Gloria, men are not loyal
Gays often change their partners
Only women are loyal to their love
But you can't force people
into a relationship
Oh! I really want to beat you up
Do you know where's the mole on her back
You don't even know when is her period!
That's enough, Pam
Gloria, but I really love you!
This is not going anywhere! I like men
You two can stay as friends
Shut up, I don't need your advice
Gloria, are you going to pick him or me?
I don't want to go home
So where do you want to go?
To your place
Why?
I want to know if I really love you
Why is there only 1 fish?
I didn't have time to take care of them
They died one by one
It's the only survivor
It's so lonely!
That's not too bad
He's got the whole world by himself
He needs not to care
about other's opinion
What an introvert!
Come and feed him everyday
I shall cook you for dinner
You are sick!
I'm hungry
I'm hungry too
I want to know
if I really love you or not
One two three
Fight!
Stop!
How exciting!
No punching at the crotch and
behind the head
"Fight" is start the match,
"Stop" to stop fighting
Don't press too hard,
he was once your master
It's OK to lose
Ken, are you ready?
We're waiting for you
Can you get me a towel?
Let's shower together, come on
You're bad!
Stop it now!
Brother
We didn't do anything
Rocky
Is Rocky Chan of Flying Dragon Club here
Yes
You're next, get ready
I wanna challenge you
It's only a joke, it is not time yet
Winning a few matches won't make you
a champion
I'll play along, you ask for it!
Let's go, I have my next match fixed
Don't look at me
Don't ask me anything
I don't know what to do
What do you want from me?
I shall fight with your brother
on the coming match
Why?
I shall meet him in the ring anyway
Excuse me
Next please
It is just a matter of time
You didn't even care about my feelings
You're afraid that I will heat him
I'm afraid you may lose
I can never compare with your brother
Deep down within your heart
What color of clothes did I wear
when we first met?
I forgot
Of course you forgot
Because I bear no significance
in your heart
Disgusting!
This straight stride kick
is one of the toughest ones
by Rocky Chan
And is especially formulated
for mid-range fighter like you
This would keep you away from him
Moreover, you can only take
a few of this kick
Rocky Chan would land this 3-4 times
harder than this one
What should I do then?
You may stand a chance
if you can trade 1 for 1
I don't get it
Try to land me a kick
When he kicks you
you use the other leg
to block his powerful kick
You got 100% of the force
but he would also get 60-70% back
And if the power
of his right foot diminishes
then you may have a chance
to get closer for your attack
The question is...
are my legs as strong as his?
Sure!
Master Hung, I've got some snack
for all of you
Den, take a break
Thanks
Master Hung
Thanks
Master Hung, please
Have some dessert
I thought you want me
to loose some weight?
Please tell her that I cannot eat
He is on diet
And I'm trying to put on some weight
Master Hung, please tell him that
if he doesn't eat now
he will never get his dessert from me
You tell her that I've had it already
He's had his dessert already
Master Hung
Please tell him
fight hard, and not to lose big time
Master Hung, please tell her that
I shall never lose
Please tell him that he'd better not
Please tell her that I shall win
I shall leave now
Bye!
What are you doing?
Where are my pictures?
Who's this guy with the ugly sun tan?
You really stinks!
Better take a bath now
The bed sheet stinks too
You're stinky too, that's why?
Please hurry up and take a bath
Let's take a bath together
Go away! You jerk, go away
He's inside
and wants to be alone
Is he confident?
You better ask him yourself
I taught him all I know
Go in
Ken, I wanna talk to you
Yesterday I...
I thought you'd never come
You thought I don't want you to win?
But he is your brother
Don't worry, I am still very confident
I am telling you
I care about you most
I want you to win
Give it your best!
Hi, John
John
Rocky, let's chat for a while
Leave us alone
The odds are for you
to knock him out in the first round
Let him stay alive for a few more rounds
And I will make
over a hundred thousand in cash
There will be a cut for you
OK?
Do you have any idea
how many matches have I fought?
More than 60 matches
78 matches, and never put on a show
What's up?
Let's talk some other time
This is a lucky charm
Are you worried?
No
You silly
You should go now
Tell him to give it his best
I was gonna tell you
in the changing room that
we had a baby
But you don't give me
a chance to tell you
I understand that all fighters will meet
in the ring
As a woman
I would, for some silly reasons
hope that this day will never come
Stop!
One, two, three
Four
Stop!
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
OK, fight
Stop!
OK?
Fight!
Would you like some soda?
Ice cream cone, pop sickle
or mineral water, what do you want?
Whatever
Whatever?
Pop sickle OK?
Pop sickle
Keep it up, don't give up
There's a chance for you!
Come on
What happened?
I couldn't remember a thing
You won
Rocky Chan is dead
It was an accident
He broke his neck and vascular vein
Mrs Chan
take care
I'm sorry
Please follow me to register
We will get someone to take care of him
Gloria
You murderer, putting on a show here?
How dare you to come here?
Don't you get near here!
Get out! Now!
We're gonna kill you
if you get over here
Kill him!
Please keep quiet at a time like this
It's your own decision
You should tell him yourself
The court has ruled this as an accident
they will understand, eventually
Master Hung
Ken is indeed a quality fighter
with talent
You should get him back
in the ring immediately
He has defeated Rocky Chan
We should let him represent HK
at the Asian Boxing Championship
Ken's situation is rather special
He is not suitable to attend any fights
You sure have proven
you are the real champ here
Why don't you attend
in our fights instead
Nobody is responsible
for any inquiry or death!
Less regulations and
more exciting fights
Cash reward is over ten times
more than a regular tournament
We are not interested
in underground matches
I'll do it
I seem to hear
two opposite opinions here
I am his trainer
Nobody can stop whatever I decided
Take care of yourself
What's your name?
Gloria Chan
Do you know the name
of doctor performing the operation?
Dr. Keith Wong
Do you know
what kind of operation is that?
Abortion
Gloria Chan, the operation is over
Here's a specimen
Ring the bell if you need anything
It appears that
there is a clot of blood in your brain
How did you injure yourself?
Boxing
I was injured during a fight
It is possible that
the vascular tube had ruptured
Which cause the blood to clot here
You must undergo more examinations
in the hospital now
Don't worry
this is only the initial
It may not be that serious
Nurse, please arrange
admission registration for him
Yes
I can walk myself
I will go to registration myself
Ken, we're closed now
It's time to go
Willy, you can go home first
People call me Benson
I was once 3 times boxing champion
I know that
Take a look at me now
The doctor asked me to quit drinking
I suggest you to stop fighting like this
It's leading no where
Fighting in the underground boxing world
no gloves and no protection
I like the feeling with flesh
Image your head as a water-melon?
Punching it with your bare fist
You can check the water-melon afterwards
It's gonna be all mushy inside out
My hands illustrate the point best
You don't think it's worth it?
I never thought about it that way
When it comes to sports
One would get tennis elbow
by just playing tennis
There's bound to be injured
in any sports
I would probably be a site foreman
if I didn't pick up boxing
But I would not think
I am that outstanding
I would have made more money
But it is the cheers
by thousands of fans for you
The special feeling in the ring
I was once the best boxer
I did it! I got fame and glory
in my life once!
And that's enough
My wife still couldn't understand
this feeling
Ken, the best I can do
is the champion of Hong Kong
You should continue your training
Represent Hong Kong and
get that Asian championship!
Rocky Chan and I won't be able to do it!
Too bad
Ken
Your nose's bleeding
Stop those underground boxing now
Take care of yourself
Excuse me, miss, I'm from an Ad. Agency
Are you interested in appearing
in a TV commercial?
There's a part that suits you very well
You don't have to decide right away
Why don't we take a photo first?
A big smile please!
A good smile,
where we can see your teeth
Think about something happy,
something nice
It's a tooth paste commercial,
you gotta smile a bit
Please don't cry!
OK, I won't take your picture,
just don't cry!
Don't cry! No! Don't cry please
It's just a photo,
let's forget about the picture
I didn't do anything,
I didn't do anything
Are you OK madam?
Do you need help?
Don't leave me!
I will try to explain everything to mom
My mom won't accept you
These are for you
It used to belong to my brother
I am not going to fight anymore
My brother had an unfulfilled wish
He always wanted
to challenge the Asian boxing champ
Do it for my brother and
also do it for yourself
My mom would not understand and
accept us
We must accept ourselves
You call this a parallel stand?
Yeah!
I don't think so
You are sitting on your bumb
I want to challenge the Asian champion
Dismiss
and rest for 5 minutes
Raise your hands higher, higher
Your hands higher
Higher!
Hold it a sec
You can't use
the same fighting style anymore
Losing your life doesn't necessary
make you the champ
The goal is to win
without getting killed
you understand?
This is the Asian Boxing championship
not some illegal fighting match
Forget it
I just want to call and let you know
Say hello to mom and sis for me
That's all
Take the one behind please
Brother had wished for an Asian champ
Save it. I won't forgive him
You know I am stubborn
I know
I have your genes, you know
Yamada Motokazu is
an all rounded fighter
Whether it is short,
medium or long range
His power of attack
is surprisingly consistent
Notice that before he land his punch
his shoulder would retreat a little
Don't bail out!
Instead you should thrust forward
Try punching me now
if you thrust forward
He can only have 50% of his power out
If you simultaneously thrust forward
with a punch
and landed on him
do a little maths of physics,
and you'll understand?
You'll get the upper hand
Are you OK?
I am fine
Can't go to sleep?
Don't worry
I will surely win tomorrow
I want to bear a child for you
Let's get married first
I've been hiding something from you
Please don't scold me if I tell you now
Before your match with my brother
I was pregnant
I thought that was the end
to our relationship
Let's get married
after this match
We will have a kid
I can't lose
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
Have you seen my mom and dad?
Not yet
I've told Pam to wait for them
at the entrance
Forget it, they never understand
what is boxing
How would they take a long fight back
to see me fight?
Hey, Pao
You've gained some fat, Black Jack
Oh just a few pounds
Like a big barrel, man
You are a totally different person
with a goal in life, right?
HKU?
With the same girl friend, impressive!
I want to apologize about last time
You were doing your job to warn me
What happened last time
Nothing
No big deal...
Make sure you knock out
the Japanese boxer!
Chinese Kung-fu!
Don't worry,
I've bet a lot of money on him
I thought you said
you would never gamble?
Yeah, but I remember
I promise God that
I'd never bet on horses
I never said anything about boxing
Darn, I could have been a rich guy
if I bet on it
In your dreams
It's time to start the match!
Ladies and gentlemen
We present to you
the Asia kick boxing championship match
Starring the Hong Kong boxing champ,
Ken Wong
In the blue corner,
Hong Kong boxing champ Ken Wong
This is his first fight since
the accidental death of Rocky Chan
Ken... Ken...
and his opponent is from Japan
Asian boxing champ
Mr. Yamada Motokazu
In the red corner, Yamada Motokazu
He has managed to retain
his Golden Belt crown
through numerous challenges
in the 3 years that
he has been the Asian boxing champ
Come on! Relax a bit!
Avoid getting hit hard, OK?
Got it?
He's such a snob
What do you want to tell me?
You know your strength
and your weakness
His punches are heavy
so try not get hit on the head
Swipe his legs. Don't let him corner you
Stop
Stop

Box
OK, continue with this strategy
Attack him with your legs,
try to burn him out
He's lack of fighting experience
You can surely knock him out, understand
His kicks are fast, I couldn't get close
Use your leg to block his kicks
and more forward
with your powerful stuff
Box
Yes, that's right!
You see that?
Something wrong with his head
Attack his head
Return the punches,
you want to lose to the Japanese?
You Japanese?
Go away!
Only 5 seconds left, hang in there
Hang in tight
Stop!
That was a good round!
They've got you all figure out
Strengthen your defense and
rush your attack
Move in faster
Keep it up! Keep it up, Ken!
Don't get too pump up!
You've got high blood pressure!
It's only diabetes
Keep it up Ken!

Only 20 seconds left,
give it your best shot
Don't let him have any chance to recoup
That's superb
Show some participation, will you?
Stop
Back to the blue corner
There's always a second chance
for everything
You know what I mean
You've been my master
for quite some time now
Have you ever seen me back out?
You stupid!
How could you let him rough you up?
Listen, you know everything
about his weakness
You can finish him off
in the next round, OK?

Are you out of your mind?
Cover your head!
Your hands have to be higher!
Don't be foolish!
Ten more seconds, don't let him get away
That's the best he can do
Let's do it again next time, shall we?
I can do it
I saw it!
See how worried are
your family and your girlfriend!
Ken
Ken!
I spotted his weakness
Can you listen to me please?
Did I ever listen to you?
My mom and dad came all the way from UK
Not to see me surrender
Box
Stop

Box
Can you continue with the fight
No problem, I can continue
Yes, I can continue
Good, continue then
What do you want to tell me?
As your master
I kept repeating this to you
The boxing ring is
like the stage of life
You can only rely on yourself
You decide on whatever you want to do
At this stage of the fight
It's possible to lose
Even though it may cost a limb
you must bring
the Golden Belt back to Japan
He's not gonna forgive you
if you force him to quit now

Come to fight me in Japan
I'll get it back
Anytime!
Why not take the risk and
go ahead with the operation?
The chance is just too slim
Why not let him go in peace?
You should stay with him
while his condition is stable
He's been through a lot of tests
He's a miracle in boxing
Why can't you make another miracle?
Dad
I've always wanted to be a son
that meets your standard
Ken
I'm sorry
What is it?
At last we've got the Golden Belt
Do you have confidence
in the next match...
I do
I'll be out of the hospital soon
Arrange the fight in Japan
I've promised the challenge of Yamada
OK!
You are a good master
You take a rest
Worry?
No
I've survived
the toughest matches and won
I am not going to lose this battle
No, you won't lose
This is my life
I am not going to lose
You will recover soon
I will go to Japan with you to fight
I don't think so
By that time
You could have possibly
been pregnant!
Who's gonna take care of me
when you're at the match?
You can stay with your mom
When I'm pregnant
I can't ride in the back
of your motor bike!
When I'm pregnant
I can't ride in the back
