Mad Monkey Kung Fu (1979) - full transcript
A crippled former Kung Fu expert earns a living as a candy merchant with a friend whom he hires to attract business. When the men are harassed by a local gang, the merchant teaches his colleague monkey boxing so as to defend their business.
Good
Mr Duan, quite a good show !
The show I've organized is not bad
Mistress, this monkey's kung fu
is pretty good
Especially that actress, so beautiful
Look at you !
Of all the days she performed
... you have always showed up
You have been mesmerized
Remember, you promised me
Yes, but you also promised
to give me something
Sure, after you complete this task
I will give it to you
And do whatever you say
Secretary
Master Chan,
Mr Duan invites you to a meal
Him again?
Great efforts, everyone!
Sister
Sister
That Duan Shiangyuan has invited me again
Look at you
Always needing help to take off
your make-up
Sister, I suggest you don't go tonight
As we finish tomorrow
we should go as a courtesy
And express our gratitude...
for their daily support
All right then
But you must not drink that much
All right
A Toast to you both
Good
Mr Duan, you're too kind
Our performance in your vicinity
... has enjoyed your total support
We're really grateful
You're too kind !
I have no other interests
My wife really enjoys...
watching you two perform
As far as I'm concerned
I love watching your kung fu
Mr Duan is too kind
A toast to you again
Please
Brother, don't drink that much !
You bother me again?
No, we still have to pack up
Precisely for that.
Because you're packing up
And we don't know when you'll come again
So please drink up, bring the wine !
Yes
Sister, Mr Duan is right
Master Chan, some say
the somersault on stage
Bei Pai kung fu
... is only for show
And not practical as a matter of fact
What do you say?
Brother
Sister, he's criticizing our kung fu
Saying it's quite useless
I believe Mr Duan's kung fu
... must have reached the pinnacle
No, not really
Li Hang
Yes
Invite Master Chan to instruct the men
Master Chan,
please prove your skills to us
Stop! Master Chan, this is real kung fu
Their backhand technique is entangling
Yes, how different is what they do...
from what you do on stage?
Slightly different
Brother !
Sister, it's a rare opportunity.
Let me show them
Don't be like this !
Sit down
Please
They circle their arms too wide
Lacking agility in the hip region
Also, you're too slow
Look sharp! Stand here
Come on
Put your palm here
His counter strike will be ineffective
Am I right? Mr Duan
Also, your rebound kick
Look
Your stance should not be like that
It should be lower
Right again, Mr Duan?
Right, a toast to Master
Yes
Brother
Studying martial arts with wine
is life's greatjoy
Mr Duan is right
Mr Duan, since you appreciate so much
... my kung fu on stage;
And it so happens I'm in the mood
Good. I'll demonstrate some more
Don't move
Just stand still
Hold your breath. Did I scare you?
But doing this alone is no fun
Good. Get someone to join in
with Master Chan
If two aren't enough, get four
If that's not enough, get ten
Master Chan, I believe this will do?
Oh, whatever
The more the merrier
Brother, you...
I'm not drunk,
just an exchange of techniques
Yes, it's all right. Just for fun
Well, make a move
Young man, more power from the hips!
Grab the fan!
For you
This is my hand
Why did you hit like that ?
Who taught you this?
Good. More wine
Yes !
Another toast
You're a great drinker !
Sister
Brother, drink no more. Let's go
Miss Chan
This fellow's talk about martial arts
... must have bored you
Right? Master Chan?
Brother
Mistress!
Master
Please accompany Miss Chan
to the back hall
And engage in ladies' chit chat
All right
Mr Duan, we really must go
Wait, Miss Chan
Let's have a chat
Brother, don't. You're drunk !
What? Me, drunk?
Right, he's not drunk at all
Sister, they're so sincere
in entertaining us
And besides,
I haven't seen Mr Duan's kung fu
Brother, you're once again ignoring me
Sister... I um...
Miss Chan, leave them to their man-talk
We'll talk about ladies' matters
Come, let's go inside and chat
Brother
That's right
Sister, I'm fine. Go
That's it. Come with me
Master Chan, please demonstrate
Please!
Please!
It's just for fun. Come on
Not bad, you're quite good
You're too kind
Now it's my turn to demonstrate...
some real kung fu
... for you to see
It's not fair fighting with the fan
You...
Mr Duan, where are you going?
Oh...to fetch you wine
Bring the wine
Wine...
Master Chan is very good
Your kung fu is really great !
It has speed, power and agility
Just like a monkey
What did you say?
Monkey Fist
Here's a toast to you
Mr Duan, your hip technique is too stiff
Mine is more nimble
But our kung fu is unlike yours
We use power, not soft like yours
Master Chan, another toast
Power is forceful,
but what about softness?
It's called Power and
soft skills combined
Cheers!
Attack on the groin!
This is called
Monkey Grabbing the Peach. Cheers!
Mrs. Duan, it's late
Isn't my brother's drinking...
bothering Mr Duan?
No, it won't
Let me go and see
Miss Chan, relax
Master Chan and Mr Duan
... are more like brothers
It's all right even if they're drunk
Mrs Duan, you don't know
When my brother is drunk...
He knows not what's happening
I'll talk to Mr Duan and ask him...
not to let Master Chan drink anymore
Good
Miss Chan, I've prepared
some ginseng soup...
for easing Master Chan's hang-over
Take care of Miss Chan
I'll demonstrate more Monkey Fist for you
Please go ahead
Good...
That isn't all
There's more
The four styles of the palm
are most important
And most difficult to practise
Totally drunk ! Good
You know what to do
Miss Chan, sorry
Your brother is drunk...
and has beaten up people
He ran around like a monkey
And I don't know where he has gone
Brother is a nuisance. It's so late
God knows where he'd have gone !
Don't worry
I've sent many men to find him
What about Mrs Duan?
I was busy looking after your brother
I don't know where she is
Let me find my brother
That's not necessary
Once my men have found him
They'll alert me
What did you say?
Really !
Impossible!
I saw it with my own eyes...
My brother, he...?
Let's go and see
Yes
Maser Chan
Master Chan, you...
Mrs Duan
Mistress, you...
Master
Brother!
Sister, I...
Brother, you...
You filth... to have done such a thing
... to ruin my family name
It's not my fault
I was preparing the ginseng soup
in the kitchen
I didn't expect Master Chan
to come in and...
I didn't do that, Mr Duan...
Shut up. I thought
you were a man of honour
But you have done such an immoral act
Brother
Grab him
Brother
You slime!
You still want to struggle
in the face of evidence!
Mr Duan, my brother acted foolishly
... as he was under
the influence of drink
Sister, I was...
Brother, such shameful act
You still want to argue !
Miss Chan, according to our rules...
such act is punishable by drowning
My brother has done wrong,
please forgive him
Can such an act be forgiven?
Mr Duan, what remedy is there?
Drown him !
What are you doing?
Quiet
Miss Chan, we have our rules
There's nothing I can do
Quiet
Mr Duan, then do what you must
Brother
You'll have to forget
you had such a brother
I'll stand in his place
How ?
I'll be your mistress, maid... anything
Only if you would spare my brother
Sister
Brother, I've decided
Mr Duan, please grant me my wish
How can this be?
Please grant me my wish
All right, I grant it
But only if your brother's hands
were crippled
Why?
Because he has such good skills
And he could use the excuse of wine...
and seek revenge from me
No!
Duan Shiangyuan!
Brother, don't
Stop
He can act and do somersaults
One, two, three, four
Great...
Now you've all seen the monkey
do somersaults
Please, everyone
Buy some candy from us
Candy...
There'll be more shows!
Please, help us and buy...
Please buy some candy
Please give your support
Get some, it's very soothing
Buy? Why don't you buy?
Don't you have any money?
No, do you?
No!
Here's a free one for each
Get the money...
One for each, free for all
One for each, very sweet
Not even a dollar
I just opened for business
Can you come around later?
Collect the money
I just opened for business
And you want to collect money now
That isn't very fair, is it?
Damn you, let's return later
I'll pick them up for you
Thank you
Go
Done. Let's go
This is a nice restaurant
Boss...have you collected everything?
Everyone has collected his share...
Have some tea first
Waiter, a bowls of sweet lotus soup
Ah Tien, let's return
with the money first
Our collection went smoothly today
The boss will be pleased with us
Quickly!
Help...
Help...
Help...
Get that kid
What are you doing?
Old sir, may I ask...
where is the Master
doing the monkey show?
Monkey show?
On the boat
Thank you
Uncle Chan
Hello, Uncle Chan
Good !
What, want to watch
the monkey show again?
I don't do it in the evening
No
I bought you some food
And good wine. Try it
Uncle Chan, what are you doing ?
This is quality wine
Be gone!
I didn't know you don't drink
How about some food
Using your hands, it's not hygienic
Put it in the bowl
Little fellow, what's your name?
Little Monkey
Little Monkey?
My parents died when I was young
So I just let people call me
Little Monkey
No wonder you're
as naughty as a monkey. Sit
Little Monkey, forgive me forjust now
Whenever I see wine...
You don't drink, is that it?
Yes, the food is good
But of course, it's from Fok Kee
Prepared especially for you
You must have spent a lot of money
The money is taking advantage of you
I got it from those other people
Then that's stealing
But I can't beat them
Truthfully
If you can't beat them, steal from them
In this world
There are so many vices
Uncle Chan, eat while it's hot
Right, join me
Uncle Chan, most performing artistes...
usually drink some wine
Why don't you drink ?
Uncle Chan, what's the matter?
Nothing. Just a little indigestion
... causing gas.
Make yourself comfortable
Sit...
Eat up!
Uncle Chan, here's a chicken leg
Thank you
Why do you hold chopsticks like this ?
Oh, my fingers are clumsy
Bitten by a monkey?
No
By a rat?
By a snake?
By a woman?
Uncle Chan !
Uncle Chan, what are you doing ?
Do you have a seizure?
No
You must have done too many monkey shows
That's what monkeys do
when they're in heat
Uncle Chan, do I look the part?
Don't you know monkeys won't do that?
Remember, don't mention
wine and women anymore
Eat up!
You're good
You too, the bill is paid
Baldy, this lily is most cooling
You can use it as a fan...
Also, for your hair
It can act as a hat
Come, put it on
Don't you know
my fist can strike at the chest
... and the back ?
Five? It's more like ten
Nothing. Open up
I said you didn't open as yet
Five again
Scoundrel, want to pull one on me?
Little Monkey, take a beating
That's nothing, that's life
You're making a mockery of yourself
Sorry, we haven't brought you any food
Sorry
It's OK, but if you continue to steal...
sooner or later you'll be beaten to death
If I don't steal, I will starve to death
sooner or later
I don't steal, do you see me starving?
But you can put on the monkey show
to earn money
... whereas I don't have the skill
So I have to steal
But what you have stolen is dirty money
It's late, you can sleep here!
Sleep with Ah Mo
Your bird sings a lovely tune
It's really nice
The bird I had did not sing like this
Good morning, boss
Little Monkey, what are you doing here?
Nothing, I have stopped stealing
... and would like a job from you
You want a job from me?
You are not used to a regularjob
What can you do?
I can pick up these bowls
and dishes for you
You haven't paid money in two days
As soon as I have enough money
I will pay you
Give me back the monkey
If everybody is like you...
how can we earn a living?
You dare to strike back ? Attack!
Beat him...
You're bullying him...
What's wrong...?
Ah Fok, they are quite angry
Let us hide for a moment
Go
Are you okay?...
Waiter, the bill please
The bill
When travelling,
this is the best place to eat
It doesn't matter even if
we had more dishes
Hey, it ain't hygienic
to wash dishes in the river
Aren't you afraid of
contagious diseases ?
Diseases are scary,
but you are even worse
The bill for eighteen cents
Two forty six
Table Three, twenty-one cents more
Thirty-nine cents in total
Little Monkey, very good
Yeah
Sir, where is Uncle Chan ?
It is sad, these rascals...
have beaten his monkey to death
Isn't it tragic?
So immoral
Uncle Chan ...
Uncle Chan
Uncle Chan, you have failed
Ah Mo, you have died today
One day those scoundrels
will meet the same fate
Uncle Chan, don't feel too sad
about Ah Mo
I'll catch you another monkey tomorrow
Even if I don't, I can act as a monkey
Little Monkey, did you hurt yourself?
No
Oh, I am used to it
Uncle Chan, these people have bullied you
I will avenge you
Little Monkey, don't be a hero
Looking for trouble
... means getting killed sooner
Don't worry
I can't beat them openly
But I have my plan
Plan? I don't think you have any
Why not?
They won't be able to catch me
I'll be a wolf in sheep's clothing
And fool them
Like a rock in a shit hole
To teach them a lesson
Hard and stinking, so they can't stand it
What an idea!
Uncle Chan, I've earned two dollars
Is it stolen again?
Of course not
I have sweated for it
How so?
I have sweated in return for wagers
from a properjob
That is the right way to earn money
Let's eat first
I almost forgot to bury Ah Mo
Ah Mo, God speed you
Go to a better world
But don't play jokes on the pig god again
Do you want to perform the last rites?
Ah Mo
Uncle Chan
Little Monkey, it's you
I must be blind
For a moment I thought you were Ah Mo
Don't I look like a monkey
You even mistook me for Ah Mo
I've learned to mimic his movements.
Watch
Ah Mo doing the somersault
Ah Mo pissing in the wind
Ah Mo scratching
Also
Ah Mo walking
Something is still lacking
What is it?
A monkey has hair
Hair? No problem
This is not a great big monster
Neither is it the legendary Monkey King
What do you say he looks like?
Like a monkey ...
You are right
He is a man disguised as a monkey
Doesn't he look like a monkey,
he scratches
And says hello to everyone
He jumps too
Skilled in stick kung fu
And, gentlemen, he also sells candies
Thank you, thanks for your help
It's good business over there
Looks like he just started
Let's go
It's you again?
Please everyone
Not bad business
Halt, I'll kill anyone who moves
So it's you, you little bastard
Disguising as a monkey?
We were only trying to earn a living
Okay, as before
A dollar a day
No way, there are now two of you
So there should be one dollar more
Everyone is paying one dollar
Why do we have to pay two dollars?
I don't care,
with you it's one dollar more
Two dollars in total
Stop fighting ... !
Don't cause trouble
He can fight. Hit him with some weapon
Please, I don't know how to fight
I'll pay you two dollars a day
Uncle Chan
That's more like it, pay up quickly
Collect the money
There's only a dollar
What are you going to do about it?
Stop pretending, you have so much money
Pick up the money. Let's go!
I've run my business for five years
I'm used to seeing money collectors
So they've taken a lot of
advantage from you
Whaddya know !
Some people are born to pay
They pay when they study
They pay when they work
Why is it like this?
These hoodlums !
We sweat night and day
and they take from us
No way, I'll get the money back
Don't go
Why?
What you get may not be good
If you don't get it, you get beaten up
I'll fight them to death
If you cause more trouble
Sooner or later you'll be beaten to death
Who cares !
Such stubbornness
So it's true
What is true?
You know kung fu
Says who?
Those scoundrels say you know kung fu
Rubbish
It's not rubbish
In fact, having followed you this long...
I ought to have picked up some Kung Fu
But I've learnt nothing
Except putting on a monkey show
Little Monkey, putting on a monkey show
... is to entertain others
to earn a living
That's right, otherwise...
why the hell would we get beaten up?
I only know how to put on a monkey show
I don't know Monkey Fist
If you want to learn, seek elsewhere
I'll go then
Boss, the bill
Boss ...
Coming, coming
Wait
This is robbery in broad daylight
You little bastard again
What's your disguise this time ?
Damn it !
He who is famous as the Monkey King
... is precisely me
Haven't you heard?
I haven't, have you?
I have heard a lot of other things
But haven't heard this
Sorry...
Little Monkey, don't cause trouble here
Boss, his kind should be eliminated
such that there will be peace around here
Wait, you are not my match
Ask your boss to come out
Looking for our boss?
Correct
It depends on how good your kung fu is
Cross roads technique
Four speeding stallions
Breaking horse power
Attack from beneath
Besiege and destroy
Beat him up!
Pepper
The Monkey King Storms the Heavens
It's me!
Little Monkey, don't fight!
Who'd be responsible for the damages ?
Don't fight...!
Let me beat him to death!
Please stop
Or you'll kill him
Please have mercy
He's just a kid
Five more dollars
Just let him go
Release him
I'm not scared of being out-numbered
Little Monkey, you're awake
Better being unconscious, I'll die easier
To die sooner is better than later
It's not that I don't want to teach you
I'm just afraid...
that you'll become like me
Learning kung fu will be like you
Bullied, insulted and beaten
Learning kung fu means a lot of pain
I accept pain and hard work
I'm afraid you'll drop out in the middle
I won't quit even if it kills me
What should you do
if you want to be my student?
Please accept my respects, Teacher!
This is not the place
for learning kung fu
Where should we go then?
Follow me to the hills
A monkey's fingers are all different
Every finger has power
Therefore to learn Monkey Fist,
you must have...
Strong fingers
Strong wrists
Teacher, to learn like that
... is tiring and inconvenient
If you want to grab something
You can do it like this
If you want to eat food...
you can do it like this.
What's so difficult?
From tomorrow onwards...
You must tie your hands on waking
And release only when you sleep
Teacher
The rock must not touch the ground
Raise your hands, turn
Jump like a monkey
Jump
Teacher, potato!
Put it down
Sit down
Grab with your hands
A monkey's hands are much faster
My hands are tied
and with the rock I'm naturally slow
Then you eat less
Again!
Little Monkey
The roast chicken
smells especially good today
Yes
Do you want to taste it?
No
No appetite?
No, my hands are slower than yours
So I'll settle for the potato
Why are you so modest tonight?
Of course I have to be modest
Normally I eat one or two servings
I wouldn't think of having a third
Then you eat this
Teacher, you're right.
It tastes real good
This is called,
'whoever is fast, gets it'
Not bad
Little sly fox !
It's late.
You're hanging out clothes to dry?
No, it's you... not the clothes
Me?
What for?
Your monkey hands are quick enough
But your arms are still lacking power
Arms' power?
What has the rope to do with it?
When a monkey sleeps in a tree...
he supports his body with arms
Right
So starting tonight
you'll sleep on a rope
Sleep on a rope?
That's right
But that means falling off easily
Look at me
This can be done!
If you're afraid of falling...
grasp here
You'll get used to it
Go on
All right then
Why did you release your grip?
You grasped my arm pit
I was itchy so I fell
When a monkey climbs branches...
frequently tickle his arm pit
Why doesn't he fall?
That's...
Go!
Don't be lazy, practise hard!
Fingers, wrists, arms;
the whole body must have power
Teacher, I'm not bad
Still far from it
What !
Not really so? No way
Well, Teacher, you see?
Still far from it, right?
But of course
I'll fall because you pushed me
How can you be
like a monkey falling that badly
So how does a monkey fall?
He will do a somersault and land there
Get up
Teacher, I've learnt for a long time
My progress could be regarded as speedy
Speedy?
My finger, wrist, arm and hip power ;
Somersaults and leaping techniques...
have all been drilled...
am I yet not ready?
Still far from it
What?
If you don't believe it,
I can test your skills
What's the point ?
After all you are not those bastards
So you think you can be a match
... for those bastards ?
Of course
Then according to you...
you want to graduate from your training ?
That's what I want
When do you intend to leave then ?
The sooner the better, the more delay...
the more dirty money they'll collect
I want to leave tonight
Okay
My pupil !
Yes, Teacher
As you are determined to leave
... I cannot retain you
But you must remember
There'll be the best among the best
Teacher, please accept my respects
First bow
Second bow
Third bow
Take care of yourself
Wait
Teacher, you're changing your mind again
For your trip this time...
I don't have anything special to give you
Teacher, are you giving me this hat?
Don't underestimate this hat
Once you've worn it,
you wouldn't want to take it off
That's great. Thank you , Teacher
Ah Tien, this kid has survived
a few beatings
And has become a kindergarten teacher
You bunch of bastards...
Bastards
You teach those kids to scold us
Aren't you afraid to die?
Well, I do wish to die
But the Yama doesn't want me
That's easy.
We'll make sure you go to him
Wait !
Are you both gutless?
Letting useless hoodlums to attack first?
But of course, if not...
how else will they earn their keep ?
That's a point
Say no more. Eat it
Wait, so much confusion !
The spectators can't see clearly
Let's fight one on one
Okay, Ah De, you go
Also, this is not suitable for children
Kids should not watch
Don't watch, go on...
Not bad
It's hard to win with a single tile
A pair is better
Bump... Bump again
Very itchy
Which side is it?
This side is real
I'll give you something good
Very juicy
So sour
A pair of two bamboos
Not a bad set of tiles
A small hand again
Better. Ask for three tiles
Red, Green and White Dragon, you all go
Red, Green and White Dragon, One bamboo
East, south
One circle, One and Nine Wan
You're so aggressive
Wanna go for a Full House, huh?
Nine bamboos
Wait, once Nine circles appears
... you will have Full House, right?
Too much mah jong strains the mind
Practise Monkey Fist
Practise finger power
Also...
It's your turn
It's our turn
Who goes first?
You, of course
I have to watch the money
I...
Anyone will do
That's outdated. Audience doesn't like it
You see, now the audience likes it
Where's my hat?
Are you stealing my smoke?
His cough is alienating everybody
It's me
A kick here, a kick there
Be considerate, don't smoke
Jumping on top
This is your filter
Not a bad taste
Where's my hat?
Here
Don't touch it
Drunken snake!
Of course, Drunken Snake from the Cave
Lazy Monkey Stretch
What's up?
Don't fool around!
My shoulder is dislocated
How much money have you collected today?
It's not my fault, it's him...
It's him
Not much
Return all the money that
you've collected
Will you do it?
Yes, yes, quickly...
Bring me to your boss
Do we have to?
Are you going or not?
Yes, going...
Go then!
See you...thank you for coming
What are you all doing, standing here?
Help pack up
We have a business to run tonight
Mr Duan, our business has been quite good
Not bad
Certainly, Mr Duan
You've let me handle the business
I will definitely
bring in much profit for you
Brother Choi, you're bluffing again
It is in fact due to
the good fortune of both ladies
Yes, yes
You really have a sense of humour
They're always joking
Mr Duan, I have prepared a meal
in the VlP room
Please go there
Good
Beat him...
Split up... come together
Who is this?
This is...
You scoundrels are known for
your immoral deeds
Extortion, gambling dens,
prostitution... what not !
I'm here to set you right today
Damn yourself !
Ah Choi, this kid is really smart
What's his background?
He is...
I don't need your introduction
I'm Little Monkey
from the school of Monkey Fist
You know Monkey Fist?
What rubbish !
This little bastard claims...
he's like a monkey
and runs around all day
I reckon, he merely has someone
... to teach him monkey acts
No wonder he's mischievous like a monkey
Ain't fooling.
I'm here to teach you a lesson
Ah Choi
Play with that monkey and entertain me
Right. Let me be that fellow
One accident is good enough to kill
No jumping !
Charge...
I'm here
Thank you
Smells horrible !
Wait... your poultice is not
in the right place
No, right here
A bit higher. That's it
Feels great !
Bastard !
Over there!
Watch me!
Lead the cow!
Get up
Now you're really like a tortoise
Help quickly!
It's me
Turn again!
Not bad. Stand back
So you have some real kung fu
Choi, he really knows my stuff
You say I am putting on a monkey show?
This is real Monkey Fist
It is not real Monkey Fist
You merely act like a monkey, that's all
What?
Who is he?
My big brother
So you're not the big boss
I'm the second in charge
So that makes him the boss
So you've just been pretending
I'm temporarily the boss
when big brother is absent
For all the time you've been around...
You don't even know such kung fu
The Monkey Fist... I know that
Then who is your teacher?
Are you interrogating me?
A man possessing kung fu skills
will not tell
Yes...!
Bring two ladies to the VlP room
Yes...
Ah Choi, prepare to serve the meal !
Right away, boss
Serve the meal?
Do you know what pleases my palate?
I know
A feast of highest quality, right?
You know Monkey Fist too
We can have a fight
Sister, let's go down
Ladies
Mr Duan's kung fu is still powerful
Sister, does his somersault
remind you of...
My brother ? No
Ah Choi, bring out all the food
I want a feast here
Yes, yes, coming...!
No need, I'm not hungry
I'll want to eat even if you don't
Wait ! Go away!
Let me serve a treasured dish
You're too kind. Let me sit down first
Brother, I see
This must be monkey's brain tar tar
Prepare the condiments
Condiments
Isn't it too cruel?
What too cruel?
This is a timely tonic and nourishment
Everyone sit
Please sit
Little Monkey
You always cause us trouble
Your so-called teacher
What's his name?
Sorry. Though I'm a loser,
I won't disgrace my teacher
Bastard !
To eat the brain monkey's head
must be washed
Then sterilized with spirits
Then the head should be shaved
And finally
the skull will be cracked open
Who is your teacher?
Speak up...
I don't know
Right, Ah Choi
Crack his skull slowly, blow by blow
Yes
Oh, no...
Grab him, don't let him get away
Are you blind?
The hat given by Teacher
is still in the brothel
Must be Uncle Chan's student
You ! Horny and coward
Me, afraid?
If it wasn't for you,
could he have escaped?
Do you think
I pulled my skirts deliberately
... for others to see?
You like anyone
who is versed in Monkey Fist
What ?
It was you who asked me
to arrange the trap
Now you...
So you are accusing me now
Don't forget you were rewarded handsomely
Yes, you gave me this brothel
But you also promised me
Once you've got what you wanted...
You'll give me Tsuei Hung
as the top prostitute
However you've procrastinated many years
Now what is happening?
Why are you coming back?
To get back the hat Teacher gave me
What's his name?
Uncle Chan
He's really my brother
My Teacher is your brother?
Yes, I just heard
Some years ago
My brother fell into Duan's trap
To save my brother...
I became Duan's mistress
Duan Shiangyuan!
You...
You filthy slime
So you helped him deliberately
You pulled off her skirt
and is siding with him
You beast
You tricked me and my brother years ago
Now I want you dead
Go quickly
I will not budge!
Madam
Make up and stop fighting
Madam, what's all this for?
Tsuei Hung is helping that fellow
to fight Mr Duan
Like that, huh ! Pool up and hit him
You're still here?
Don't let him get away
Don't let him get away. Grab him...
Don't let him get away
You...
Little Monkey
Teacher
You've returned so quickly
Did you miss me?
Yes, Teacher. I um...
When you left you were full of pride
Why pull a long face now?
Yes...
Headache?
No
Mourning on someone's behalf?
No
Then someone must have hit you
on the head
Yes, Teacher
You must have thought
your kung fu was good
How would you have a swollen head ?
No, Teacher. I started off smoothly
And used finger, wrist and hip power
And drove them from the main street
to the brothel
Beating those scoundrels such that...
they were all over the place
But unexpectedly there came a big boss
... who said mine was not the Monkey Fist
But a mere semblance of monkey movements
Shouldn't I be angry?
I used my somersault skills
But little realizing...
Lost the fight
Yes
Your head has been injured
Why haven't you used the hat
I gave you...
to cover your shameful wound?
Hat? Teacher, I saw your sister
My sister?
Yes
Where?
In the brothel
How come she's in...
Teacher, she's not a prostitute
She's that boss's...
Is the boss's surname Duan?
That's the bastard
Teacher, your sister said...
What did she say?
That you fell into the bastard's trap
How could I...
In order to save me...
Your sister helped me fight those crooks
But we couldn't beat him...
Teacher, where are you going?
To find my sister
You can't go
Why?
That Duan fellow is conniving
And besides, your hands...
My hands are like this because of him
Teacher, don't worry
All things considered, she's his wife
I don't think he'll do her harm.
Besides...
you can't use the Monkey Fist
effectively on him;
Which renders it totally useless
Little Monkey, you should know that
your Kung Fu...
...is still a long way off
So what's to be done?
Continue to practise diligently
You must attain the skill
to pursue and attack
Four styles of the palm
Attack
Again
Teacher
Teacher
Business has been good recently
Miss, you are really... beautiful !
Young Master, any lady in mind?
Yes
Who?
Your mother
Your mother?
Please
We have Siu Hung, Siu Man, Siu Fa
Siu Ying, Siu Tseui, Sui Lien, Siu Juan
Fat, tall or short
They come in all shapes and sizes
Which style would you prefer ?
Don't be shy, tell us
I want you
Me
How come you have such perverted taste
Don't be so horny
You really want a man?
Sure! All the men here
Can you take it?
Of course, including your boss
Our boss is not interested in this
Besides, we don't do this sort
of business here
But since you are here
We won't spoil your fun
Good, let me give you a good one
Ah Biao
What's the matter?
One is not enough, get a few more
Fix him up
I will
Done so soon !
I told you one is not enough
Here's a pair, Ah Sang, Ah Hoi
What's up?
What's the matter?
You used to bluff, look ...
Finished before it's begun
Are you really that good?
Of course
Get four more
What's the matter?
This client likes men. Fix him !
Same price for men and women!
Don't be so nervous, what's the matter ?
How come it looks so familiar?
What's the game here?
What are these words?
Monkey ...
Little Monkey, follow the plan
Guarded by four posts,
take down by four strings
The net seals the heaven, alert the boss
You two protect me
Such a good plan,
to avoid killing the innocent
All by-standees, please leave
To avoid being hurt, go quickly ...
Don't go ...
Brother, you haven't paid yet
You'll die surely
This is to let you
develop some good karma
All martial art heroes should ...
focus on their moral discipline
We can't use our martial arts skill...
to do something bad
These are the scum
of our martial arts world
It's finished
Who taught you that?
From teacher?
Yes
So your Teacher
has sent you to lecture us
Are our men all here ?
I am getting impatient
Come, men !
It's not necessary to encircle in a fight
What's important is position
Position?
We know that.
Use the 4-2-4 strategy to attack
Testing the strength of my arms?
How long have you trained in that?
Five months?
No, looks like three months at the most
Right... the Four Knives ! Kill him
I'm a friend
Kill him ...
Everyone stop!
You're all confused
Ah Choi, where's that little monkey?
Brother, Little Monkey has been caught
Get away
Where is he?
Here!
Here comes the star !
Little Monkey, long time no see
Your technique has improved
You're too kind. That's Monkey Fist
I knew that
after perfecting Monkey Fist...
you'll indeed come and look for me
You're right, I've come this time...
for three things
Firstly, to rid this place of evil
Secondly, to avenge for Teacher
Thirdly to look for Tsuei Hung
Tsuei Hung?
Last time in order to save you...
she was wounded and died
Little Monkey
Even if you were
the Monkey King himself...
you can't escape. Skin him alive !
You see, he's caught ... !
Even your Teacher cannot escape from me;
Not to mention the puny you !
You think you've caught me?
My Teacher will come and save me
Drag him out and don't dirty this place
Teacher has arrived
Teacher !
Master Chan
How have you been doing, Mr Chan?
Very well... Mrs. Duan
Didn't ever imagine that
with your cripple hand...
you could develop such a good student
Nonsense ! Send for my sister
Your sister has been killed by them
Don't be afraid
Why be afraid of this crippled monkey
Teacher, why have you come so late?
Had you come sooner,
we'd have caught them all
Who will come to save us !
Right
As good as the old days
Why haven't you remembered
... your hands are crippled
I am not crippled !
All of you attack !
Attack ... !
Stay calm... don't be afraid ...
Don't be afraid... attack ...
My hands ...
We better leave !
Let's go !
Old Duan, has my Monkey Fist improved?
It's he who has regressed
Come
Don't be mad. The moral of the story is
That as a martial arts practitioner...
you shouldn't be attracted by sex
Neither should indulge in immoral things
Practise more Kung Fu,
and keep good health
Understand?
Is it painful?
This is called do unto others
what they do unto you
Teacher, isn't that correct?
Also, I so wish to avenge your sister !
Little Monkey!
Mr Duan, quite a good show !
The show I've organized is not bad
Mistress, this monkey's kung fu
is pretty good
Especially that actress, so beautiful
Look at you !
Of all the days she performed
... you have always showed up
You have been mesmerized
Remember, you promised me
Yes, but you also promised
to give me something
Sure, after you complete this task
I will give it to you
And do whatever you say
Secretary
Master Chan,
Mr Duan invites you to a meal
Him again?
Great efforts, everyone!
Sister
Sister
That Duan Shiangyuan has invited me again
Look at you
Always needing help to take off
your make-up
Sister, I suggest you don't go tonight
As we finish tomorrow
we should go as a courtesy
And express our gratitude...
for their daily support
All right then
But you must not drink that much
All right
A Toast to you both
Good
Mr Duan, you're too kind
Our performance in your vicinity
... has enjoyed your total support
We're really grateful
You're too kind !
I have no other interests
My wife really enjoys...
watching you two perform
As far as I'm concerned
I love watching your kung fu
Mr Duan is too kind
A toast to you again
Please
Brother, don't drink that much !
You bother me again?
No, we still have to pack up
Precisely for that.
Because you're packing up
And we don't know when you'll come again
So please drink up, bring the wine !
Yes
Sister, Mr Duan is right
Master Chan, some say
the somersault on stage
Bei Pai kung fu
... is only for show
And not practical as a matter of fact
What do you say?
Brother
Sister, he's criticizing our kung fu
Saying it's quite useless
I believe Mr Duan's kung fu
... must have reached the pinnacle
No, not really
Li Hang
Yes
Invite Master Chan to instruct the men
Master Chan,
please prove your skills to us
Stop! Master Chan, this is real kung fu
Their backhand technique is entangling
Yes, how different is what they do...
from what you do on stage?
Slightly different
Brother !
Sister, it's a rare opportunity.
Let me show them
Don't be like this !
Sit down
Please
They circle their arms too wide
Lacking agility in the hip region
Also, you're too slow
Look sharp! Stand here
Come on
Put your palm here
His counter strike will be ineffective
Am I right? Mr Duan
Also, your rebound kick
Look
Your stance should not be like that
It should be lower
Right again, Mr Duan?
Right, a toast to Master
Yes
Brother
Studying martial arts with wine
is life's greatjoy
Mr Duan is right
Mr Duan, since you appreciate so much
... my kung fu on stage;
And it so happens I'm in the mood
Good. I'll demonstrate some more
Don't move
Just stand still
Hold your breath. Did I scare you?
But doing this alone is no fun
Good. Get someone to join in
with Master Chan
If two aren't enough, get four
If that's not enough, get ten
Master Chan, I believe this will do?
Oh, whatever
The more the merrier
Brother, you...
I'm not drunk,
just an exchange of techniques
Yes, it's all right. Just for fun
Well, make a move
Young man, more power from the hips!
Grab the fan!
For you
This is my hand
Why did you hit like that ?
Who taught you this?
Good. More wine
Yes !
Another toast
You're a great drinker !
Sister
Brother, drink no more. Let's go
Miss Chan
This fellow's talk about martial arts
... must have bored you
Right? Master Chan?
Brother
Mistress!
Master
Please accompany Miss Chan
to the back hall
And engage in ladies' chit chat
All right
Mr Duan, we really must go
Wait, Miss Chan
Let's have a chat
Brother, don't. You're drunk !
What? Me, drunk?
Right, he's not drunk at all
Sister, they're so sincere
in entertaining us
And besides,
I haven't seen Mr Duan's kung fu
Brother, you're once again ignoring me
Sister... I um...
Miss Chan, leave them to their man-talk
We'll talk about ladies' matters
Come, let's go inside and chat
Brother
That's right
Sister, I'm fine. Go
That's it. Come with me
Master Chan, please demonstrate
Please!
Please!
It's just for fun. Come on
Not bad, you're quite good
You're too kind
Now it's my turn to demonstrate...
some real kung fu
... for you to see
It's not fair fighting with the fan
You...
Mr Duan, where are you going?
Oh...to fetch you wine
Bring the wine
Wine...
Master Chan is very good
Your kung fu is really great !
It has speed, power and agility
Just like a monkey
What did you say?
Monkey Fist
Here's a toast to you
Mr Duan, your hip technique is too stiff
Mine is more nimble
But our kung fu is unlike yours
We use power, not soft like yours
Master Chan, another toast
Power is forceful,
but what about softness?
It's called Power and
soft skills combined
Cheers!
Attack on the groin!
This is called
Monkey Grabbing the Peach. Cheers!
Mrs. Duan, it's late
Isn't my brother's drinking...
bothering Mr Duan?
No, it won't
Let me go and see
Miss Chan, relax
Master Chan and Mr Duan
... are more like brothers
It's all right even if they're drunk
Mrs Duan, you don't know
When my brother is drunk...
He knows not what's happening
I'll talk to Mr Duan and ask him...
not to let Master Chan drink anymore
Good
Miss Chan, I've prepared
some ginseng soup...
for easing Master Chan's hang-over
Take care of Miss Chan
I'll demonstrate more Monkey Fist for you
Please go ahead
Good...
That isn't all
There's more
The four styles of the palm
are most important
And most difficult to practise
Totally drunk ! Good
You know what to do
Miss Chan, sorry
Your brother is drunk...
and has beaten up people
He ran around like a monkey
And I don't know where he has gone
Brother is a nuisance. It's so late
God knows where he'd have gone !
Don't worry
I've sent many men to find him
What about Mrs Duan?
I was busy looking after your brother
I don't know where she is
Let me find my brother
That's not necessary
Once my men have found him
They'll alert me
What did you say?
Really !
Impossible!
I saw it with my own eyes...
My brother, he...?
Let's go and see
Yes
Maser Chan
Master Chan, you...
Mrs Duan
Mistress, you...
Master
Brother!
Sister, I...
Brother, you...
You filth... to have done such a thing
... to ruin my family name
It's not my fault
I was preparing the ginseng soup
in the kitchen
I didn't expect Master Chan
to come in and...
I didn't do that, Mr Duan...
Shut up. I thought
you were a man of honour
But you have done such an immoral act
Brother
Grab him
Brother
You slime!
You still want to struggle
in the face of evidence!
Mr Duan, my brother acted foolishly
... as he was under
the influence of drink
Sister, I was...
Brother, such shameful act
You still want to argue !
Miss Chan, according to our rules...
such act is punishable by drowning
My brother has done wrong,
please forgive him
Can such an act be forgiven?
Mr Duan, what remedy is there?
Drown him !
What are you doing?
Quiet
Miss Chan, we have our rules
There's nothing I can do
Quiet
Mr Duan, then do what you must
Brother
You'll have to forget
you had such a brother
I'll stand in his place
How ?
I'll be your mistress, maid... anything
Only if you would spare my brother
Sister
Brother, I've decided
Mr Duan, please grant me my wish
How can this be?
Please grant me my wish
All right, I grant it
But only if your brother's hands
were crippled
Why?
Because he has such good skills
And he could use the excuse of wine...
and seek revenge from me
No!
Duan Shiangyuan!
Brother, don't
Stop
He can act and do somersaults
One, two, three, four
Great...
Now you've all seen the monkey
do somersaults
Please, everyone
Buy some candy from us
Candy...
There'll be more shows!
Please, help us and buy...
Please buy some candy
Please give your support
Get some, it's very soothing
Buy? Why don't you buy?
Don't you have any money?
No, do you?
No!
Here's a free one for each
Get the money...
One for each, free for all
One for each, very sweet
Not even a dollar
I just opened for business
Can you come around later?
Collect the money
I just opened for business
And you want to collect money now
That isn't very fair, is it?
Damn you, let's return later
I'll pick them up for you
Thank you
Go
Done. Let's go
This is a nice restaurant
Boss...have you collected everything?
Everyone has collected his share...
Have some tea first
Waiter, a bowls of sweet lotus soup
Ah Tien, let's return
with the money first
Our collection went smoothly today
The boss will be pleased with us
Quickly!
Help...
Help...
Help...
Get that kid
What are you doing?
Old sir, may I ask...
where is the Master
doing the monkey show?
Monkey show?
On the boat
Thank you
Uncle Chan
Hello, Uncle Chan
Good !
What, want to watch
the monkey show again?
I don't do it in the evening
No
I bought you some food
And good wine. Try it
Uncle Chan, what are you doing ?
This is quality wine
Be gone!
I didn't know you don't drink
How about some food
Using your hands, it's not hygienic
Put it in the bowl
Little fellow, what's your name?
Little Monkey
Little Monkey?
My parents died when I was young
So I just let people call me
Little Monkey
No wonder you're
as naughty as a monkey. Sit
Little Monkey, forgive me forjust now
Whenever I see wine...
You don't drink, is that it?
Yes, the food is good
But of course, it's from Fok Kee
Prepared especially for you
You must have spent a lot of money
The money is taking advantage of you
I got it from those other people
Then that's stealing
But I can't beat them
Truthfully
If you can't beat them, steal from them
In this world
There are so many vices
Uncle Chan, eat while it's hot
Right, join me
Uncle Chan, most performing artistes...
usually drink some wine
Why don't you drink ?
Uncle Chan, what's the matter?
Nothing. Just a little indigestion
... causing gas.
Make yourself comfortable
Sit...
Eat up!
Uncle Chan, here's a chicken leg
Thank you
Why do you hold chopsticks like this ?
Oh, my fingers are clumsy
Bitten by a monkey?
No
By a rat?
By a snake?
By a woman?
Uncle Chan !
Uncle Chan, what are you doing ?
Do you have a seizure?
No
You must have done too many monkey shows
That's what monkeys do
when they're in heat
Uncle Chan, do I look the part?
Don't you know monkeys won't do that?
Remember, don't mention
wine and women anymore
Eat up!
You're good
You too, the bill is paid
Baldy, this lily is most cooling
You can use it as a fan...
Also, for your hair
It can act as a hat
Come, put it on
Don't you know
my fist can strike at the chest
... and the back ?
Five? It's more like ten
Nothing. Open up
I said you didn't open as yet
Five again
Scoundrel, want to pull one on me?
Little Monkey, take a beating
That's nothing, that's life
You're making a mockery of yourself
Sorry, we haven't brought you any food
Sorry
It's OK, but if you continue to steal...
sooner or later you'll be beaten to death
If I don't steal, I will starve to death
sooner or later
I don't steal, do you see me starving?
But you can put on the monkey show
to earn money
... whereas I don't have the skill
So I have to steal
But what you have stolen is dirty money
It's late, you can sleep here!
Sleep with Ah Mo
Your bird sings a lovely tune
It's really nice
The bird I had did not sing like this
Good morning, boss
Little Monkey, what are you doing here?
Nothing, I have stopped stealing
... and would like a job from you
You want a job from me?
You are not used to a regularjob
What can you do?
I can pick up these bowls
and dishes for you
You haven't paid money in two days
As soon as I have enough money
I will pay you
Give me back the monkey
If everybody is like you...
how can we earn a living?
You dare to strike back ? Attack!
Beat him...
You're bullying him...
What's wrong...?
Ah Fok, they are quite angry
Let us hide for a moment
Go
Are you okay?...
Waiter, the bill please
The bill
When travelling,
this is the best place to eat
It doesn't matter even if
we had more dishes
Hey, it ain't hygienic
to wash dishes in the river
Aren't you afraid of
contagious diseases ?
Diseases are scary,
but you are even worse
The bill for eighteen cents
Two forty six
Table Three, twenty-one cents more
Thirty-nine cents in total
Little Monkey, very good
Yeah
Sir, where is Uncle Chan ?
It is sad, these rascals...
have beaten his monkey to death
Isn't it tragic?
So immoral
Uncle Chan ...
Uncle Chan
Uncle Chan, you have failed
Ah Mo, you have died today
One day those scoundrels
will meet the same fate
Uncle Chan, don't feel too sad
about Ah Mo
I'll catch you another monkey tomorrow
Even if I don't, I can act as a monkey
Little Monkey, did you hurt yourself?
No
Oh, I am used to it
Uncle Chan, these people have bullied you
I will avenge you
Little Monkey, don't be a hero
Looking for trouble
... means getting killed sooner
Don't worry
I can't beat them openly
But I have my plan
Plan? I don't think you have any
Why not?
They won't be able to catch me
I'll be a wolf in sheep's clothing
And fool them
Like a rock in a shit hole
To teach them a lesson
Hard and stinking, so they can't stand it
What an idea!
Uncle Chan, I've earned two dollars
Is it stolen again?
Of course not
I have sweated for it
How so?
I have sweated in return for wagers
from a properjob
That is the right way to earn money
Let's eat first
I almost forgot to bury Ah Mo
Ah Mo, God speed you
Go to a better world
But don't play jokes on the pig god again
Do you want to perform the last rites?
Ah Mo
Uncle Chan
Little Monkey, it's you
I must be blind
For a moment I thought you were Ah Mo
Don't I look like a monkey
You even mistook me for Ah Mo
I've learned to mimic his movements.
Watch
Ah Mo doing the somersault
Ah Mo pissing in the wind
Ah Mo scratching
Also
Ah Mo walking
Something is still lacking
What is it?
A monkey has hair
Hair? No problem
This is not a great big monster
Neither is it the legendary Monkey King
What do you say he looks like?
Like a monkey ...
You are right
He is a man disguised as a monkey
Doesn't he look like a monkey,
he scratches
And says hello to everyone
He jumps too
Skilled in stick kung fu
And, gentlemen, he also sells candies
Thank you, thanks for your help
It's good business over there
Looks like he just started
Let's go
It's you again?
Please everyone
Not bad business
Halt, I'll kill anyone who moves
So it's you, you little bastard
Disguising as a monkey?
We were only trying to earn a living
Okay, as before
A dollar a day
No way, there are now two of you
So there should be one dollar more
Everyone is paying one dollar
Why do we have to pay two dollars?
I don't care,
with you it's one dollar more
Two dollars in total
Stop fighting ... !
Don't cause trouble
He can fight. Hit him with some weapon
Please, I don't know how to fight
I'll pay you two dollars a day
Uncle Chan
That's more like it, pay up quickly
Collect the money
There's only a dollar
What are you going to do about it?
Stop pretending, you have so much money
Pick up the money. Let's go!
I've run my business for five years
I'm used to seeing money collectors
So they've taken a lot of
advantage from you
Whaddya know !
Some people are born to pay
They pay when they study
They pay when they work
Why is it like this?
These hoodlums !
We sweat night and day
and they take from us
No way, I'll get the money back
Don't go
Why?
What you get may not be good
If you don't get it, you get beaten up
I'll fight them to death
If you cause more trouble
Sooner or later you'll be beaten to death
Who cares !
Such stubbornness
So it's true
What is true?
You know kung fu
Says who?
Those scoundrels say you know kung fu
Rubbish
It's not rubbish
In fact, having followed you this long...
I ought to have picked up some Kung Fu
But I've learnt nothing
Except putting on a monkey show
Little Monkey, putting on a monkey show
... is to entertain others
to earn a living
That's right, otherwise...
why the hell would we get beaten up?
I only know how to put on a monkey show
I don't know Monkey Fist
If you want to learn, seek elsewhere
I'll go then
Boss, the bill
Boss ...
Coming, coming
Wait
This is robbery in broad daylight
You little bastard again
What's your disguise this time ?
Damn it !
He who is famous as the Monkey King
... is precisely me
Haven't you heard?
I haven't, have you?
I have heard a lot of other things
But haven't heard this
Sorry...
Little Monkey, don't cause trouble here
Boss, his kind should be eliminated
such that there will be peace around here
Wait, you are not my match
Ask your boss to come out
Looking for our boss?
Correct
It depends on how good your kung fu is
Cross roads technique
Four speeding stallions
Breaking horse power
Attack from beneath
Besiege and destroy
Beat him up!
Pepper
The Monkey King Storms the Heavens
It's me!
Little Monkey, don't fight!
Who'd be responsible for the damages ?
Don't fight...!
Let me beat him to death!
Please stop
Or you'll kill him
Please have mercy
He's just a kid
Five more dollars
Just let him go
Release him
I'm not scared of being out-numbered
Little Monkey, you're awake
Better being unconscious, I'll die easier
To die sooner is better than later
It's not that I don't want to teach you
I'm just afraid...
that you'll become like me
Learning kung fu will be like you
Bullied, insulted and beaten
Learning kung fu means a lot of pain
I accept pain and hard work
I'm afraid you'll drop out in the middle
I won't quit even if it kills me
What should you do
if you want to be my student?
Please accept my respects, Teacher!
This is not the place
for learning kung fu
Where should we go then?
Follow me to the hills
A monkey's fingers are all different
Every finger has power
Therefore to learn Monkey Fist,
you must have...
Strong fingers
Strong wrists
Teacher, to learn like that
... is tiring and inconvenient
If you want to grab something
You can do it like this
If you want to eat food...
you can do it like this.
What's so difficult?
From tomorrow onwards...
You must tie your hands on waking
And release only when you sleep
Teacher
The rock must not touch the ground
Raise your hands, turn
Jump like a monkey
Jump
Teacher, potato!
Put it down
Sit down
Grab with your hands
A monkey's hands are much faster
My hands are tied
and with the rock I'm naturally slow
Then you eat less
Again!
Little Monkey
The roast chicken
smells especially good today
Yes
Do you want to taste it?
No
No appetite?
No, my hands are slower than yours
So I'll settle for the potato
Why are you so modest tonight?
Of course I have to be modest
Normally I eat one or two servings
I wouldn't think of having a third
Then you eat this
Teacher, you're right.
It tastes real good
This is called,
'whoever is fast, gets it'
Not bad
Little sly fox !
It's late.
You're hanging out clothes to dry?
No, it's you... not the clothes
Me?
What for?
Your monkey hands are quick enough
But your arms are still lacking power
Arms' power?
What has the rope to do with it?
When a monkey sleeps in a tree...
he supports his body with arms
Right
So starting tonight
you'll sleep on a rope
Sleep on a rope?
That's right
But that means falling off easily
Look at me
This can be done!
If you're afraid of falling...
grasp here
You'll get used to it
Go on
All right then
Why did you release your grip?
You grasped my arm pit
I was itchy so I fell
When a monkey climbs branches...
frequently tickle his arm pit
Why doesn't he fall?
That's...
Go!
Don't be lazy, practise hard!
Fingers, wrists, arms;
the whole body must have power
Teacher, I'm not bad
Still far from it
What !
Not really so? No way
Well, Teacher, you see?
Still far from it, right?
But of course
I'll fall because you pushed me
How can you be
like a monkey falling that badly
So how does a monkey fall?
He will do a somersault and land there
Get up
Teacher, I've learnt for a long time
My progress could be regarded as speedy
Speedy?
My finger, wrist, arm and hip power ;
Somersaults and leaping techniques...
have all been drilled...
am I yet not ready?
Still far from it
What?
If you don't believe it,
I can test your skills
What's the point ?
After all you are not those bastards
So you think you can be a match
... for those bastards ?
Of course
Then according to you...
you want to graduate from your training ?
That's what I want
When do you intend to leave then ?
The sooner the better, the more delay...
the more dirty money they'll collect
I want to leave tonight
Okay
My pupil !
Yes, Teacher
As you are determined to leave
... I cannot retain you
But you must remember
There'll be the best among the best
Teacher, please accept my respects
First bow
Second bow
Third bow
Take care of yourself
Wait
Teacher, you're changing your mind again
For your trip this time...
I don't have anything special to give you
Teacher, are you giving me this hat?
Don't underestimate this hat
Once you've worn it,
you wouldn't want to take it off
That's great. Thank you , Teacher
Ah Tien, this kid has survived
a few beatings
And has become a kindergarten teacher
You bunch of bastards...
Bastards
You teach those kids to scold us
Aren't you afraid to die?
Well, I do wish to die
But the Yama doesn't want me
That's easy.
We'll make sure you go to him
Wait !
Are you both gutless?
Letting useless hoodlums to attack first?
But of course, if not...
how else will they earn their keep ?
That's a point
Say no more. Eat it
Wait, so much confusion !
The spectators can't see clearly
Let's fight one on one
Okay, Ah De, you go
Also, this is not suitable for children
Kids should not watch
Don't watch, go on...
Not bad
It's hard to win with a single tile
A pair is better
Bump... Bump again
Very itchy
Which side is it?
This side is real
I'll give you something good
Very juicy
So sour
A pair of two bamboos
Not a bad set of tiles
A small hand again
Better. Ask for three tiles
Red, Green and White Dragon, you all go
Red, Green and White Dragon, One bamboo
East, south
One circle, One and Nine Wan
You're so aggressive
Wanna go for a Full House, huh?
Nine bamboos
Wait, once Nine circles appears
... you will have Full House, right?
Too much mah jong strains the mind
Practise Monkey Fist
Practise finger power
Also...
It's your turn
It's our turn
Who goes first?
You, of course
I have to watch the money
I...
Anyone will do
That's outdated. Audience doesn't like it
You see, now the audience likes it
Where's my hat?
Are you stealing my smoke?
His cough is alienating everybody
It's me
A kick here, a kick there
Be considerate, don't smoke
Jumping on top
This is your filter
Not a bad taste
Where's my hat?
Here
Don't touch it
Drunken snake!
Of course, Drunken Snake from the Cave
Lazy Monkey Stretch
What's up?
Don't fool around!
My shoulder is dislocated
How much money have you collected today?
It's not my fault, it's him...
It's him
Not much
Return all the money that
you've collected
Will you do it?
Yes, yes, quickly...
Bring me to your boss
Do we have to?
Are you going or not?
Yes, going...
Go then!
See you...thank you for coming
What are you all doing, standing here?
Help pack up
We have a business to run tonight
Mr Duan, our business has been quite good
Not bad
Certainly, Mr Duan
You've let me handle the business
I will definitely
bring in much profit for you
Brother Choi, you're bluffing again
It is in fact due to
the good fortune of both ladies
Yes, yes
You really have a sense of humour
They're always joking
Mr Duan, I have prepared a meal
in the VlP room
Please go there
Good
Beat him...
Split up... come together
Who is this?
This is...
You scoundrels are known for
your immoral deeds
Extortion, gambling dens,
prostitution... what not !
I'm here to set you right today
Damn yourself !
Ah Choi, this kid is really smart
What's his background?
He is...
I don't need your introduction
I'm Little Monkey
from the school of Monkey Fist
You know Monkey Fist?
What rubbish !
This little bastard claims...
he's like a monkey
and runs around all day
I reckon, he merely has someone
... to teach him monkey acts
No wonder he's mischievous like a monkey
Ain't fooling.
I'm here to teach you a lesson
Ah Choi
Play with that monkey and entertain me
Right. Let me be that fellow
One accident is good enough to kill
No jumping !
Charge...
I'm here
Thank you
Smells horrible !
Wait... your poultice is not
in the right place
No, right here
A bit higher. That's it
Feels great !
Bastard !
Over there!
Watch me!
Lead the cow!
Get up
Now you're really like a tortoise
Help quickly!
It's me
Turn again!
Not bad. Stand back
So you have some real kung fu
Choi, he really knows my stuff
You say I am putting on a monkey show?
This is real Monkey Fist
It is not real Monkey Fist
You merely act like a monkey, that's all
What?
Who is he?
My big brother
So you're not the big boss
I'm the second in charge
So that makes him the boss
So you've just been pretending
I'm temporarily the boss
when big brother is absent
For all the time you've been around...
You don't even know such kung fu
The Monkey Fist... I know that
Then who is your teacher?
Are you interrogating me?
A man possessing kung fu skills
will not tell
Yes...!
Bring two ladies to the VlP room
Yes...
Ah Choi, prepare to serve the meal !
Right away, boss
Serve the meal?
Do you know what pleases my palate?
I know
A feast of highest quality, right?
You know Monkey Fist too
We can have a fight
Sister, let's go down
Ladies
Mr Duan's kung fu is still powerful
Sister, does his somersault
remind you of...
My brother ? No
Ah Choi, bring out all the food
I want a feast here
Yes, yes, coming...!
No need, I'm not hungry
I'll want to eat even if you don't
Wait ! Go away!
Let me serve a treasured dish
You're too kind. Let me sit down first
Brother, I see
This must be monkey's brain tar tar
Prepare the condiments
Condiments
Isn't it too cruel?
What too cruel?
This is a timely tonic and nourishment
Everyone sit
Please sit
Little Monkey
You always cause us trouble
Your so-called teacher
What's his name?
Sorry. Though I'm a loser,
I won't disgrace my teacher
Bastard !
To eat the brain monkey's head
must be washed
Then sterilized with spirits
Then the head should be shaved
And finally
the skull will be cracked open
Who is your teacher?
Speak up...
I don't know
Right, Ah Choi
Crack his skull slowly, blow by blow
Yes
Oh, no...
Grab him, don't let him get away
Are you blind?
The hat given by Teacher
is still in the brothel
Must be Uncle Chan's student
You ! Horny and coward
Me, afraid?
If it wasn't for you,
could he have escaped?
Do you think
I pulled my skirts deliberately
... for others to see?
You like anyone
who is versed in Monkey Fist
What ?
It was you who asked me
to arrange the trap
Now you...
So you are accusing me now
Don't forget you were rewarded handsomely
Yes, you gave me this brothel
But you also promised me
Once you've got what you wanted...
You'll give me Tsuei Hung
as the top prostitute
However you've procrastinated many years
Now what is happening?
Why are you coming back?
To get back the hat Teacher gave me
What's his name?
Uncle Chan
He's really my brother
My Teacher is your brother?
Yes, I just heard
Some years ago
My brother fell into Duan's trap
To save my brother...
I became Duan's mistress
Duan Shiangyuan!
You...
You filthy slime
So you helped him deliberately
You pulled off her skirt
and is siding with him
You beast
You tricked me and my brother years ago
Now I want you dead
Go quickly
I will not budge!
Madam
Make up and stop fighting
Madam, what's all this for?
Tsuei Hung is helping that fellow
to fight Mr Duan
Like that, huh ! Pool up and hit him
You're still here?
Don't let him get away
Don't let him get away. Grab him...
Don't let him get away
You...
Little Monkey
Teacher
You've returned so quickly
Did you miss me?
Yes, Teacher. I um...
When you left you were full of pride
Why pull a long face now?
Yes...
Headache?
No
Mourning on someone's behalf?
No
Then someone must have hit you
on the head
Yes, Teacher
You must have thought
your kung fu was good
How would you have a swollen head ?
No, Teacher. I started off smoothly
And used finger, wrist and hip power
And drove them from the main street
to the brothel
Beating those scoundrels such that...
they were all over the place
But unexpectedly there came a big boss
... who said mine was not the Monkey Fist
But a mere semblance of monkey movements
Shouldn't I be angry?
I used my somersault skills
But little realizing...
Lost the fight
Yes
Your head has been injured
Why haven't you used the hat
I gave you...
to cover your shameful wound?
Hat? Teacher, I saw your sister
My sister?
Yes
Where?
In the brothel
How come she's in...
Teacher, she's not a prostitute
She's that boss's...
Is the boss's surname Duan?
That's the bastard
Teacher, your sister said...
What did she say?
That you fell into the bastard's trap
How could I...
In order to save me...
Your sister helped me fight those crooks
But we couldn't beat him...
Teacher, where are you going?
To find my sister
You can't go
Why?
That Duan fellow is conniving
And besides, your hands...
My hands are like this because of him
Teacher, don't worry
All things considered, she's his wife
I don't think he'll do her harm.
Besides...
you can't use the Monkey Fist
effectively on him;
Which renders it totally useless
Little Monkey, you should know that
your Kung Fu...
...is still a long way off
So what's to be done?
Continue to practise diligently
You must attain the skill
to pursue and attack
Four styles of the palm
Attack
Again
Teacher
Teacher
Business has been good recently
Miss, you are really... beautiful !
Young Master, any lady in mind?
Yes
Who?
Your mother
Your mother?
Please
We have Siu Hung, Siu Man, Siu Fa
Siu Ying, Siu Tseui, Sui Lien, Siu Juan
Fat, tall or short
They come in all shapes and sizes
Which style would you prefer ?
Don't be shy, tell us
I want you
Me
How come you have such perverted taste
Don't be so horny
You really want a man?
Sure! All the men here
Can you take it?
Of course, including your boss
Our boss is not interested in this
Besides, we don't do this sort
of business here
But since you are here
We won't spoil your fun
Good, let me give you a good one
Ah Biao
What's the matter?
One is not enough, get a few more
Fix him up
I will
Done so soon !
I told you one is not enough
Here's a pair, Ah Sang, Ah Hoi
What's up?
What's the matter?
You used to bluff, look ...
Finished before it's begun
Are you really that good?
Of course
Get four more
What's the matter?
This client likes men. Fix him !
Same price for men and women!
Don't be so nervous, what's the matter ?
How come it looks so familiar?
What's the game here?
What are these words?
Monkey ...
Little Monkey, follow the plan
Guarded by four posts,
take down by four strings
The net seals the heaven, alert the boss
You two protect me
Such a good plan,
to avoid killing the innocent
All by-standees, please leave
To avoid being hurt, go quickly ...
Don't go ...
Brother, you haven't paid yet
You'll die surely
This is to let you
develop some good karma
All martial art heroes should ...
focus on their moral discipline
We can't use our martial arts skill...
to do something bad
These are the scum
of our martial arts world
It's finished
Who taught you that?
From teacher?
Yes
So your Teacher
has sent you to lecture us
Are our men all here ?
I am getting impatient
Come, men !
It's not necessary to encircle in a fight
What's important is position
Position?
We know that.
Use the 4-2-4 strategy to attack
Testing the strength of my arms?
How long have you trained in that?
Five months?
No, looks like three months at the most
Right... the Four Knives ! Kill him
I'm a friend
Kill him ...
Everyone stop!
You're all confused
Ah Choi, where's that little monkey?
Brother, Little Monkey has been caught
Get away
Where is he?
Here!
Here comes the star !
Little Monkey, long time no see
Your technique has improved
You're too kind. That's Monkey Fist
I knew that
after perfecting Monkey Fist...
you'll indeed come and look for me
You're right, I've come this time...
for three things
Firstly, to rid this place of evil
Secondly, to avenge for Teacher
Thirdly to look for Tsuei Hung
Tsuei Hung?
Last time in order to save you...
she was wounded and died
Little Monkey
Even if you were
the Monkey King himself...
you can't escape. Skin him alive !
You see, he's caught ... !
Even your Teacher cannot escape from me;
Not to mention the puny you !
You think you've caught me?
My Teacher will come and save me
Drag him out and don't dirty this place
Teacher has arrived
Teacher !
Master Chan
How have you been doing, Mr Chan?
Very well... Mrs. Duan
Didn't ever imagine that
with your cripple hand...
you could develop such a good student
Nonsense ! Send for my sister
Your sister has been killed by them
Don't be afraid
Why be afraid of this crippled monkey
Teacher, why have you come so late?
Had you come sooner,
we'd have caught them all
Who will come to save us !
Right
As good as the old days
Why haven't you remembered
... your hands are crippled
I am not crippled !
All of you attack !
Attack ... !
Stay calm... don't be afraid ...
Don't be afraid... attack ...
My hands ...
We better leave !
Let's go !
Old Duan, has my Monkey Fist improved?
It's he who has regressed
Come
Don't be mad. The moral of the story is
That as a martial arts practitioner...
you shouldn't be attracted by sex
Neither should indulge in immoral things
Practise more Kung Fu,
and keep good health
Understand?
Is it painful?
This is called do unto others
what they do unto you
Teacher, isn't that correct?
Also, I so wish to avenge your sister !
Little Monkey!
