Lie huo (1970) - full transcript
Taiwanese silver-screen star Polly Shangkuan LingFeng plays a brave swords-woman who is in charge to safeguard a list of rebels from the evil henchmen sent by Ching Emperor. Proud swordsman Pai Ying helps her.
My wrath bristles through my helmet
the rain stops as I stand by the rail
I look up towards the sky
and let loose a passionate roar.
My deeds are nothing but dust at 30
my journey took me many miles under the sky.
So do not sit by idly
for young men will grow old in regret.
The shame of Jing Kong still lingers
When will the pain ever end?
Let us ride our chariots
through the Helan Pass
There we shall feast and drink
barbarian flesh and blood.
Let us recover our stolen lands before
paying tribute to the Heavens.
Sung Dynasty Shao-Hsin Tenth year
Yuefei defeated the Prince's army,
and prepared to recover Sung's land/
All around the country people
are ready to fight together
The people started raising
horses and saving food
General Yue sent Cheng-Yuan to Taming
To contact local rebels
with a list of names.
Oh Buddha, merciful Buddha!
Blessings be to our Sung people
Bless General Yue to
recover our lands soon.
Kind people,
have sympathy for this poor cripple.
Many thanks!
Yo! Ai Yo Yo! Forward I go!
I am here at Taming
Taming Prefecture, what a place!
What are you doing here?
I am just a beggar
I know you are a stinking beggar
Don't you know the rules here?
What rules?
You surely know how to play dumb.
Give us money if you want to beg here
Hurry!
Well, are you following me?
Let me off, gentlemen...
I don't have any money
Please let him off this time
You really know how to talk.
How do you think we could
survive if people are like you?
Maybe you want to pay for him
Me...?
Keep your trap shut
if you don't have money.
All right, I will pay for him tomorrow
If you don't get the money tomorrow,
both of you are dead.
Now beat it!
I owe you my thanks
Forget it.
I've been there many times
Where are you from?
Chen Ting Prefecture
What did you do before?
I sold moon-cakes
Why did you give up?
Because of the war
What about?
An urgent message
Follow me!
Your excellency!
Yes?
Fourth Prince sent an emergency message.
Your Excellency, here it is
Rebels are going to make some trouble
From now on, take extra care
Yes
Well, has he come?
It could be the beggar this morning
but we did not get in contact.
Yelu Chung seemed to know
YueFei sent someone
Here is closely watched now
you must be careful
Spy! Get him!
It's him!
Are you a moon-cake dealer?
Don't move!
Carry him away quick.
I will deal with them.
Spy!
Spy! Spy!
Where is the spy?
That way!
Follow him
You almost lost your life
in catching the spy
Such courage is certainly admirable
Stay here for a while
After you recover,
I will thank you with good money.
Thank you, your Excellency
Take him for a rest
This way
The guy who got wounded
was sent by Yue Fei
He has with him a list of rebels,
all the people who are against us.
Day-dreamers! Poor day-dreamers!
But if he managed to escape when wounded
There must be local people helping him
Did he hit our men with coins?
No.
What's wrong
A girl killed our men by coin-throws
A girl?
Yes
Close all four city gates.
Search for her.
What's up?
The dogs are coming
Dogs!
Where
They are gone now
Find me the town crier, Lu Lu.
I am Lu Lu. You are...
I sell moon-cakes
Do you have cinnamon moon-cakes?
Yes, I have. What do you want them to do
For ancestral worship on August 15th
What is the matter?
Where are my... my bamboo boards
Here
This is the list
Mission from General Yue?
I carried it out.
Take it to Tien Hsen Pastry
The Pastry seller Wu?
Who?
What is it?
They are coming
Go
Please, gentlemen...
Speak up! Where is your son?
He is out of town on business
Liar! He has gone to Mt. Tai Hsin
Gentlemen, let me off...
Shut up! Take him away
Please...
Gentlemen, I have spoken the truth
Gentlemen, let me off...
I have spoken the truth
Gentlemen, let me off...
Gentlemen, let me off...
These robbers be hanged
Hurry
Pity, have pity, ladies and gentlemen
Thanks
Have pity on this cripple
ladies and ma'am
Many thanks
What can I do for you, ma'am
Do you have moon-cakes?
Yes. What kind do you want?
Do you have cinnamon ones?
Cinnamon?
Do we have it?
No
Sorry, we don't have them
Just a minute ladies
What do you want
cinnamon moon-cakes for?
For ancestral worship on August 15th
We have them,
but need to bake a fresh batch...
could you come back a little later?
Fine
This is the list
This concerns our country's plan
Please take extra care of it
Don't worry, ma'am
Look, down here is a cellar
They won't find it even if they
turn the place upside down
Well, we must be off now
All right,
then forgive me for staying here
I'm going to hide it in the cellar
Pity, have pity, ladies and gentlemen
Search!
Speak up! Where is your manager?
In... in the backyard
Arrest all of them
Hurry up
Hall
What are you going to do now?
Don't worry,
we will look for it in Tien Hsen
When?
Tonight
Hey, wake up
wake up
What for?
Out of here!
Who told you to come here to sleep?
No one is here,
why can't I stay here overnight?
Not going to happen. Get going!
Move
Being poor is terrible,
can't even get a place to sleep
No more nonsense, move!
Move!
I can't cross the threshold
Hey, you really have some muscle
Go to hell
Get going
Get going
Ling-Tze!
Enough! It's me!
Well, have you found it?
Come on, Ling-Tze
no more games, give it to me
What games? You scared me to death!
Let's go to find Ma!
Alright, don't get mad.
It's all my fault
If you scare me again
I won't call you my brother
I will call you sister.
How is that?
Now where is the list?
I must go now
Speak up!
Don't pretend you are a hero
if you don't have the guts.
You think you can fool me
By just scratching your skin?
Even a child wouldn't believe you
Now speak up!
It's the town crier, Lu Lu.
Pity, have pity, ladies and gentlemen
Get in cover!
We will follow your orders.
Four of you go set up inside.
Yes, sir!
Move!
Go over that side!
Even plants understand weather.
People should go with the flow.
I knew it even before I was born
Good for you. The list, then?
What list?
You are smart enough, hand it to me
See for yourself now
Who is he?
A dog
Well said, well said.
Now, will you?
I don't have it
This place is the gift registry
for Death.
If I was afraid of him,
I wouldn't be in this
Alright, we both have our own master
Yes
Let him have it!
He really has got some bones!
There will be some way
Who is it
I sell moon-cakes
I sell moon-cakes
Do you have cinnamon moon-cakes?
Yes, I have. What do you want them for?
For ancestral worship on August 15th
Thank Heaven! Finally I have found you
Let me have the list please
1:
It's not here.
My son has it with him
He went out to call time last night,
he is not back yet.
Madam, Mt. Tai Hsin people
are waiting to use the list.
But we really don't know it
We depend on it to restore our country
Please be quick...
Oh you again!
Madam, I sell moon-cakes
Ling-Tze, stop!
Do you have cinnamon moon-cakes?
Yes, what do you want them for?
For ancestral worship on August 15th
Well, finally, we are in the right place
Why did you kill him?
He is a turncoat
What evidence do you have?
A dog in human skin
Please hand the list to me now
It's not here
But didn't you get it that evening?
I gave it to my brother
He was caught by Yelu Chung
I knew you would come.
That is why I'm waiting here
It is you.
What is the hurry, little girl?
Brother
How come you are here?
I...
She has come to see you
There is another one to see you
Who?
Look who is here
Bring Mrs. Lu in!
Yes
Mother
Again, if you hand over the list
You will enjoy all the honour and money.
Mrs. Lu, he needs some good advice
He certainly does
Mother
My son
I can't accompany you into old age.
Stand up, my boy!
Mother, I'm all right
Let me have a good look at you
Don't cry, my boy. I don't feel bad
As long as I can see you
I am OK
It is more important
to serve your country.
If one loses one's country
one has lost everything
If you don't serve your country
you can't serve your parents.
It is hard to serve your country and
your parents at the same time.
Lu Lu, don't get yourself into trouble.
You are just like everyone else,
tou have only got one life.
You look the same.
Maybe your bones are different.
All right
Let me see how different you are
Have you tried this one
I have, many times
How did it taste
Nothing extraordinary
Then I will let your mother try it.
Lotus Buddha went to Hell
to save his mother.
You can watch your mother suffer?
So don't blame me
Come
Take it here.
Stop
Madam, the country's plan does
not concern you, why suffer for it?
Hand us the list.
You couldn't possibly stand this torture
I won't let you bully my mother
Follow me
There is no one dearer than one's mother
She carried you in her belly for
nine months. She worked hard for you.
Her kindness is greater than the sky.
You see, just one word from me
Your mother will lose her life
No, you can't torture my mother
It's all up to you now
Me?
As soon as you hand the list to me
Not only will I let your mother go
I will let your brother go.
Or you will regret for the rest of
your life your lack of filial piety.
What do you think now?
I can show you
Hurry
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Such a strange mother.
Execute them.
Get them over here
Yes
Bring the two prisoners over here
There is still time to change your mind
Why waste your life like this?
My offer still stands
Hand me the list and you will be free
My answer is still the same
You are wasting your time
If you want to die for your country
I will help you.
Order from Master,
shoot them with arrows.
Now run!
It is in the mouth of the stone
turtle in front of the old temple
What about you?
Don't worry about me, run, quick
Miss, it is me
It's you. You scared me
Where is the list
Haven't found it yet
Let's hurry then
Wait
Who are you
I sell moon-cakes
Do you have cinnamon moon-cakes?
Yes, what do you want them for?
For ancestral worship on August 15
We are fellow-travellers,
go get the list
I see you begging in the street everyday
And really thought you were a cripple
That was my disguise
Where are you from?
From Chung Yi club.
I have waited long for this list.
Give it to me now
I will deliver it immediately
Will you go back to Taming Prefecture?
But my mother and my brother's enmity?
It will be over soon
Everyone has that.
We will have our revenge someday
Now get going, quick
You...
He is also Yelu Chung's dog
How do you know?
You know what kind of a man Yelu Chung
He can do it all by himself.
I was almost fooled by him
Damn!
The old fox is baiting us.
Let's go quickly
Too late now
Lu Hsiao-ling
Hand the list to me
You'd better wake from your dreams
You are a fool.
Why risk your own life?
Hsiao Ling Lu
Your brother has just gone
to join your mother
Do you want to join them?
Run, quick!
Even if you run faster than Sun Wu Kong
You can't run faster than my palm
Give the list to me
Stop
The list is here
Run, leave me. I would rather
die than give them the list.
Hsiao ling, don't be stubborn now
We can't get out
If we die, they will get the list.
But why die for nothing
Even an ant wants to stay alive
It won't go wrong if you take my advice
Let me have the list now
I can't give you it for nothing
I understand. Name your terms
First, set us free
Reasonable. Anymore?
You won't chase after us
I just want the name list
Alright, release Hsiao Ling first
Run quickly, Hsiao Ling!
Catch
Too tired
Let's relax here
I'll go find some food
Take care
Might be an accident, let's take a look
Wait
Enemies! Let's go!
Chase them
