Palace Carnage (1978) - full transcript
The heroic Ma Teng has developed a counter to the Flying Guillotines attack, and when word reaches The Emperor, who is more bloodthirsty than ever, he creates a new deadlier version and trains a squad of female assassins to use it. Now Ma must help the gang of rebels trying to overthrow the evil tyrant and create a new counter-weapon to defeat the improved Guillotine.
Open it
Where is she from?
Your Majesty
A pretty Han girl from Soo Chow
Bring the sword
Yes
I dislike Han women; throw her out
Yes
Let him leave the palace
but have him followed
Yes
Yung Jing Emperor of Qing Dynasty
To consolidate his power
The Emperor ruled with a strong hand
And developed the Flying Guillotine...
to kill Han people
and those who opposed him
But righteousness would not be suppressed
The heroes of Jiang Nan
rose up in rebellion
And created a heroic event
to assassinate the Emperor
You've lost again
Tien Sin Dragon swordplay
It commands my respect
Jiang Nan's Fastest Sword
Jiang Cheung Fung
You really live up to your fame
I am not quite convinced
Li Sing Nan
How can you be so outright blunt?
I haven't seen it, so I'm not convinced
So you're Jiang Nan's Fastest Sword?
This is the expert of
Tien Sin Dragon Sword?
Sui Sheng Piu
Unless you two let me witness
with my own eyes
Minor technique - no big deal
I was under surveillance, so I'm late
Sincere apologies
Is everybody here?
Brother Bai Tai Kuan hasn't arrived
Everyone knows
The Emperor is killing the innocent
The people are oppressed
Now all heroes are gathered at
Dan Hsia Mountain
...prepared to overthrow the tyrant
Everyone here is laden with
heavy responsibilities
We should go to Dan Hsia Mountain at once
Na Lan
Hero Jin
Na Lan, why have you risked coming here?
Bai's mission to assassinate
the Emperor failed
The Flying Guillotines are coming,
we can't stay
I have to leave. Goodbye
Brother Jin, who is she?
One of us
Na Lan, daughter of Military Secretary
Brother Bai failed
Let's go
Big brother
Big brother
Bai Tai Kuan
You took matters into your own hands
...and made a mess
God knows how many innocent people
and heroes
...will die for this
Big Brother, I'm wrong
Rash people like you...
should not go to Dan Hsia Mountain
Big brother, I...
Flying Guillotines, go
Ma Tan
Hero Ma, wait a minute
Come with us to Dan Hsia Mountain
What for?
To kill Yung Jing Emperor
No
Why?
I can't do it
Ma Tan
Are you afraid?
Brother, watch your manners
Since hero Ma has his personal reasons
Farewell and we'll meet another time
Take care
You're so useless,
can't even capture Ma Tan
We're incompetent and deserve death
Ma Tan is an expert
of the Flying Guillotine
He knows the theory and can nullify it
He could pose a problem in future
Minister
Yes, your Majesty
These are a single day's reports
from Jiang Nan
Have a look
Arise
Thank you
Who has incited the people to rebellion
Assassinating our officials,
...and made an attempt on my life?
Come, men
Yes
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Yes
Decree from the Emperor
Bao Ying
Here, your Majesty
Gang Jing Fung
Present
Enter the palace
Yes
- Gang Jing Fung
- Bao Ying
Your Majesty
The whereabouts of Ma Tan
Have you found out yet?
Yes I have. However...
Ma used Iron Umbrella
to block the Flying Guillotine
Therefore...
You are so useless
You can't even find Ma Tan
I have a good idea...
which will corner Ma
Come and tell me
Yes
In every village...
out of every ten families
...one Han will be killed
every three days
They'd be forced to give up Ma
I also have an idea
Speak
Hang their bodies on the roads
And let the rebels see
Good, kill two birds with one stone.
Let's do it
Yes
The Emperor has decreed
Yes
Capture Han people
Yes
Behead them
Yes
I hear they're looking for you everywhere
I am worried for you
Yu Lan
The shoes are made, try them
Yu Lan, in these years
...you've suffered with me
Hiding everywhere, living without peace
Siu Cheung's father
Don't say it
With you by my side,
even if it's worse...
I wouldn't complain
Except that Siu Cheung should be
at school
Father
Sleep now
Remember my words
If one day I really have to leave you...
take Siu Cheung;
change your names and hide
Why can you...
You should understand
Some people should not live
for themselves alone
I don't understand and don't want to
It's time to proceed with the execution
Please save them
Mercy...
Halt
Ma Tan
I'm the one you want
Let them go
All right, release them
Bring Ma Tan
Yes
Thank you, hero
According to the Emperor's order
Ma Tan once caught
should be executed immediately
Yes
Siu Cheung's Father...!
Behead him
Run quickly
Who's in charge of Jiang Nan?
I...
Reply inside
Yes
Do you know your faults?
Yes we do
There's still no sign of Ma Tan
What should be done?
We're incompetent and deserve death
I'll grant you your wish
Behead them
Your Majesty
Aren't you going to thank the Emperor?
Useless servant
Behead them
Yes
Take them away
Yes. Move it
Come on
Wait
Greetings to Royal teacher
Wait
Teacher, please wait
What's the matter?
You have special privilege
to enter the library
I also have the power to search you
What? Search me?
By order of the Emperor
All right, search then
What is this?
Don't you know it's a snuff bottle?
How'd I know
if there isn't a concealed weapon?
I'll return it when you leave
Useless servant
Your Majesty
Teacher
About these three lords
Teacher, please wait
Gang Jing Fung, Bao Ying
Here, your Majesty
I decree that any official...
who dares to represent the three of them;
Will be guilty as they are
Yes
The Emperor has decreed
Whoever dares to represent them
...will be guilty as they are
Your Majesty, what are they guilty of?
They have failed to suppress
the rebellion
Your Majesty
What are the causes of rebellion?
What?
People will support a just rule,
otherwise they'll rebel
I don't want their hearts,
I only want the kingdom
Without winning hearts,
how can there be a kingdom?
I don't need to argue with you
Hadn't I considered you
as my teacher 20 years ago
...I'll not have mercy on you
Your Majesty
Go
Please take back your decree
Your Majesty, I beg you
None of your business
Guards
Here, Your Majesty
Behead the three of them
Your Majesty
Yes
Execute them
Yes
Drag them out
Go...
Your Majesty
Tyranny will only suppress kingdoms
It will not win over hearts
What insolence!
Go...
The whole kingdom will fall
because of your tyranny
This is serious insubordination
and insolence
Execute his whole family
Go
Your Majesty
You can't act in your own ways
Have mercy
My words are ordained by heaven,
rebels will die
You tyrant king
Lord...
He dirtied my spotless palace
Get rid of him
Yes
Your Majesty, aren't you afraid
...of being a laughing stock?
You are coming of age
And unsuited to be a lord anymore.
You may retire
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Take his hat and see him out
Yes
Wait! No need for you to do it
Nor do you need to see me out
Teacher, thank you for
your years of guidance
I am not your teacher
Wise men don't have such pupils
Out of respect for the late king...
I'll show you how to run the country
Your Majesty, farewell
The snuff bottle?
Useless slave
See the Royal Teacher out
Farewell
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Yes, your Majesty
Send him to hell
Yes
Thank you, hero... for saving my life
Please accept my gratitude
Teacher, you're welcome
You are...
Na Lan, daughter of Military Secretary
I came here to save you
This is no place for staying long
Please hide out in the Guan Yin Temple
Lady
What's the matter?
Lady
We have orders to capture Teacher Yeung
Have you seen him?
No... leave
Yes
Lady, what are you doing here?
Fool
What do you think I'm doing?
Lady
I know you're practising your sword
And I intend to use your brain
for practice
Lady, lady
Scram
Yes. Let's leave
Teacher, it's all right
Miss, I don't understand
Why do you assist me
behind your father's back?
Your help is essential for success
Success for what?
Assassinate Yung Jing
You...
To be honest with you
My mother is also a Han
To prove his loyalty
my dad was forced into divorce
My father dared not disobey
Yet he could not be torn from my mother
At the end...
My mother hanged herself to her death!
Besides, the emperor is tyrannical
As long as he lives...
Han people will not have
a single day of peace
Right
Lord Cheung,
I'll bury your family for you
Hope you could help us out
I appreciate your righteousness
But killing Yung Jing
is like ascending the Heavens
Even if he is in heaven,
I will fly up to kill him
impersonating Korean embassy officers...
to assassinate Yung Jing is a doomed task
To sacrifice one life
in exchange for his head
It's worth it
OK, let's draw lots to decide
I'll go
You look more like a bandit than a prince
How can you go?
Let's draw again
No need, I'll go
Teacher, this is a list of gifts
Palace rules forbid
ordinary people access to it
Right?
Yes
We'll conceal the poisoned sword here
And avoid being detected
This is a concealed weapon?
Don't touch
This is the Poisoned Sword
And must be handled with care
Old sir, maybe you don't believe this
This was left by my great grandfather
Look
It's turned black
Yung Jing has a mean heart
When he's dead, he turns black
Old sir, where do you think
it should be hidden?
Put it here
Brother Cheung,
do you know how to use it?
A light touch
will release the concealed weapon
Don't touch it for any other reason
All of them have changed
You're still playing the flute
I only know playing flute
Isn't that what you say?
I misjudged you. Forgive me
Do me two favours to make up for it
I'll do anything
Speak
My mother is quite aged
I'm afraid my assignment this time...
I'll take care of her
Believe me
I have a friend
...who is with me all the time
Keep it company when I'm gone
Who is it?
This is it
it?ll be light soon
Brother, take this
We'll prepare a feast
to celebrate your return
Even if I don't return
My spirit will
Wait
Anyone entering the palace
must be searched
Search him
Lord, you cannot open this
No one can unless the emperor has seen it
Tsui Jin Ru of Korea to see the Emperor
Long live the Emperor
Tributes for the Emperor to see
Korea is besieged by draught and famine
Still you bring us gifts!
Prepare tea for him
Yes
Thank you, your Majesty
Tsui Jin Yu
Yes
Your Shun Tak King is 70 odd years old
How is he?
The king is fortunately in good health
General Li wiped out the bandits
He fought a good battle
Thank you, your Majesty
It's nothing to be boastful of
Bullshit. The battle was in fact lost
The king has died
over a hundred years ago
How can he be alive?
Seize him
To disguise as Korean,
kneel with both knees
Dagger is concealed;
luckily I've armour for protection
Who are you?
Debt collector
The country is rife
with persecution of intellectuals
How much blood do you owe the people?
A pity!
There is still a bit more debt owed
Cheung Fung, your spirits in heaven...
will see us accomplish your will
Oh, my rice
Don't move
What?
Here are ten taels of gold for you
Open it
4th Brother
Mount up
His Majesty the Emperor
Where is the cardinal?
I need to see him
Yes
More medicine
Yes
His Majesty asks for you
Let him wait
What a nerve, not to welcome the emperor
Disobeying the Emperor
Wait
- Yes
- What's the hurry?
Your Majesty
Your Majesty shows his kindness
to Lama Koupin
...and invited him
from Tibet to the palace
Even converted Yin Hu Palace
into a monastery
Yet he dares not to come to pay respects
We must not tolerate this
Damn, what do you know?
Ask Lama's guards to stand down
Yes
The Emperor has decreed the guards
to stand down
Your Majesty
What wrong has your servant done?
He is skilled in principles of mechanics
And can develop all kinds of
concealed weapons
I want to make use of him
You are wise, Your Majesty
Forget the formality
The cardinal pays his respects
Your Majesty
I'm late and deserve punishment
I will not blame you
Come in
Yes
These are gifts from Korea
I give them to you
Your Majesty is very considerate
Also, your hat
I want to give you a new one
I assign you
as the Chief Cardinal of Qing court
Thank you, your Majesty
It's just that... I do not deserve it
And I should earn it
with my accomplishments
I've no accomplishments;
how can I serve your Majesty
I want you to improve
the Flying Guillotine
Has someone found a way to block it?
Who would that be?
Ma Tan the traitor
The Guillotine is used by
royal commission
It beheads from a hundred paces
It is powerful and unbeatable
How can it be blocked?
Simply by this
A tattered umbrella!
Very smart
You'd never think that a boxer...
could figure out this principle
Capitalising on the upward rotation
of the umbrella
To bounce off the Flying Guillotine
And those using the Guillotine...
have been hurt by the ricochet
of the Guillotine
Doesn't it mean that...
the royal weapon would become useless?
Relax. By law of nature one thing
preys on another
I will think of something
I'll improve the Guillotine
and thwart the umbrella
Good. When will it be finished?
Well, Rome was not built in a day!
The sooner the better
The unbeatable double Flying Guillotine
How is it different
from the previous version?
The secret is inside
I have to see this
Guard
Here, sire
I decree the palace to be secured
and locked
No one is allowed to enter
Yes
Your Majesty, are you satisfied?
You have designed it meticulously
Thank you, your Majesty
Congratulations, your Majesty
Even with Ma Tan's weapon
He can't block
the double Flying Guillotines
Can you discern
the secret amidst it all?
Yes I can
Two Flying Guillotines put together...
when blocked by umbrella
will trigger the mechanism
And set off attacks from below and above
Xiao Chi Tsi
People say you're quite smart
You're not bad
Thank you, your Majesty
Arise
Yes
Come here
Yes
Xiao Chi Tsi
Here, sire
Have you learnt kung fu?
Yes I have
If I had not...
how would I serve your Majesty?
You're gonna come in useful
Thank you, your Majesty
Go over there
Yes
I will test the Flying Guillotine on you
Yes
Your Majesty, try it on me?!
Go on
Yes
Go over there
Congratulations, your Majesty. It works
Listen, all of you
Double Flying Guillotines' secret
can't be leaked
Yes
May I be bold enough to ask...
Why did you kill Xiao?
Those who love acknowledgement
and praises
...cannot keep secrets
Your Majesty is wise
Cardinal
Your Majesty
Your contribution to this invention
is commendable
Here are 10,000 taels of gold
as your reward
Thank you, your Majesty
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
I decree
Have the military head
gather the 3 Flag platoon
Select new recruits...
to retrain in the Flying Guillotines
Yes
Come back
Yes
I want you to let Ma Tan,
Jing Fung Chi and the lot
Taste the steel
of the double Flying Guillotines
Yes
Lord Lao
You have to be very careful
Yes
You be in front,
I'll lurk in the background
And capture Ma Tan
at the blacksmith's place
I know
You should change your hat (rank)
Thank you, Lord Gang
You thank me a bit too soon
Wait
Who is it?
My daughter Na Lan
Lord Gang, your swordsmanship is deadly
Yours isn't bad either
She liked to practise
martial arts as a kid
She could serve the Emperor in future
Why did you hide behind the partition?
I've brought medicine for father
Father
Good, good
Farewell
See him out
We will make a detour
We must go before the vultures...
to save Ma Tan
Everyone is clear
Miss Na Lan, you can't come with us
And you three...
should proceed to Ping Jiang
to check out the situation
Don't worry
We can perform as well in water,
mountain and land
We are familiar with
the surroundings here
Everyone, keep your eyes peeled
There'll be guards along the way...
with Flying Guillotines concealed
Boss
Any good choppers?
Certainly
How much?
5 copper coins
Thank you
Go quickly
We can handle it here
Hero Ma
Flee with your relatives
Go...
Yu Lan
Siu Cheung
Father
Siu Cheung's father
It is you the Emperor wants
If you could only come with us!
All right, I'll go with you
Release them first
I don't trust you
Father
Take him
Yes
Siu Cheung's father
Father
Siu Cheung's father
Siu Cheung, Yu Lan
Remember my words...
Yu Lan, Siu Cheung
I'll avenge you
I'll follow you to Dan Hsia Mountain
The double Flying Guillotine
is indeed powerful
I want to ask you
Will it be defeated again?
Nature does decree that
one thing preys on another
So it's difficult to say for sure
I wish you could develop...
an even more powerful Flying Guillotine
Yes, your Majesty
Hero Jin,
only by sneaking into the palace...
can we obtain the blueprint
of the new Guillotine
And thus nullify the enemies' efforts
Wait, I'm familiar with the palace
Yung Jing is treacherous and conniving
You are merely a girl
It's easier said than done
You underestimate me
Hero Ma
You can escape from the palace
So by the same logic
I can sneak into the palace
Even if you do, it'll be suicide
For the sake of the Han kingdom
...I have to do whatever it takes
The Emperor is holding a test
for fighters
The candidates, please come in
Our respects, Your Majesty
You have been selected among 300 fighters
You're the best of the best
I assign all of you
as the Royal Flying Guillotine
Thank you, your Majesty
Swear-in ceremony
We swear by the heavens
To be loyal to the Emperor
If we renege on our promise
From parents to off springs
They'll be doomed and damned
We pledge loyalty
We will also be filial
If we rebel against the Emperor
Families will be exterminated
The Emperor leaves
What's the matter?
Stop her
Who is it?
I've come for an audition
Right
You useless wimps
What power have you?
Get them out
What?
Wait
Lord
The Emperor seeks the best fighters
We have come for an audition
The guards not letting us in,
is understandable
But as an official why do you stop us?
What are you talking about?
Lord, if Emperor knew
you can't take the responsibility
What a sharp tongue!
The Emperor seeks the best fighters
But...
But has not said to exclude women
Come
Mu Gwai Ying storming the Heaven Gate
Fa Mu Lan fighting in her father's place
And the legend of Madam Sair
My lord,
even if you haven't read about them
You must have heard of these heroines?
Shut up
They were Han people
My lord
Han heroines can equal men
and become legends
We Manchu girls have heroines...
famous throughout posterity
Correct
Come here
Our respects, Your Majesty
Who is it?
Your Majesty
She is Lord Bao's daughter
I apologize for not teaching her well
Insolent Na Lan,
you have insulted your superior
Do you know what punishment that means?
Heavens can attest to my loyalty
May it please your Majesty to note
You have vision and commitment
But how is your kung fu?
If I didn't know kung fu,
would I have dared to come?
The knife, the spear,
the sword and the lance
I'm equally skilled
Axe, Pole-axe, Hook and Fork
Yes
Striking and leaping techniques
I know them
Try her
Yes
If you can hit the target
You're spared
If you miss
Your family will be beheaded
Your Majesty
I am not afraid to die
Attack
Lord Bao Lao
Your Majesty
You've taught your daughter well
Thank you, your Majesty
Rise
You fools, had I not
auditioned candidates myself
...you would have wasted such talent
It is my fault
I deserve death
Na Lan
Your Majesty
You're now the female Flying Guillotine
by royal decree
Thank you, your Majesty
Father, father
Na Lan
See what have you done behind my back!
Father
I captured Teacher Yeung; you freed him
I caught Ma Tan; you released him
Today you stormed into
the training ground
Father, I...
I wanted to avenge my mother
You know the Flying Guillotines
are well organized
And are cruel and brutal
You are but a girl
lf...
I know
I've long since disregarded
life and death
This is poison
It kills by a mere taste. Use it well
Take it
Father, don't worry
I know what to do
Hurry...
Quickly...
Hurry...
Don't play this trick again
If not by me, who else?
You look after the men,
I'll deal with the women
None of your business
Who says you're to deal with the females?
The Emperor
You dare to use the Flying Guillotine
in the palace?
You dare to molest a girl in the palace?
I tell you, it's unwise
...to cross a Flying Guillotine
We have accomplished our training
It is accomplished...
What's the big deal?
This is elementary
Continue training
Continue tomorrow
Wait
You dare to give orders?
Female Flying Guillotines
are under my responsibility
Go
You dare?
Go
Go
Whoever dares to go will be beheaded
You dare?
Go
My lord
What are you doing here?
Nothing
I followed Na Lan...
and saw her coming out
from the Lama Temple
What was she doing there?
Follow her
Yes
How did it go?
I got the blueprint
Who is it?
Bao Ying's associate
What's to be done?
Take the blueprint to Dan Hsia Mountain
Lin Gia
Lin Gia, what's the matter?
What is it?
Speak, speak
You silenced the witness
What did he see?
Lord Bao, no nonsense
His Majesty the Emperor
What's the matter?
Your Majesty
Lord Na used the poisoned needle
to kill my man
Judging by the way he died...
he might have discovered Lord Na's secret
Please investigate, your Majesty
Is there really such a matter?
Yes
Arise
Yes
Na Lan
Yes
Why kill him?
Lift up your head
This training area
is off-limits to outsiders
He sneaked in at night suspiciously
And kept silent when I questioned him
He turned and fled
How was I to know he was Lord Bao's man?
I took him for an assassin
And could not have let him go
Your Majesty,
since she did not see who it was
...how could she say it was an assassin,
and kill unscrupulously?
Right
Your Majesty,
we've the responsibility to guard you
Yes
We must be extra cautious...
and act without slightest hesitation
If I cannot do even this...
am I eligible to be
a female Flying Guillotine?
If you think I did wrong, punish me then
No, you did well
Thank you, your Majesty
He deserved to die
Yes
Arise, all
Thank you, your Majesty
Arise
Yes
Jiang Nan confidential submission
for your perusal
Ask Lama Koupin to come and see me
Return to the palace
Yes
The Emperor departs
All of you come with me
Your Majesty
Arise
Thank you, your Majesty
I have summoned you
in the middle of the night
...for a small matter
Do you've the blueprint
for double Flying Guillotine?
Yes I have
Where is it?
With me. Please take a look
You vermin, daring to harm the innocent!
I am very sorry
Na Lan
Yes
Slap him... vent out your anger
Thank you, your Majesty
My lords
I must obey the Emperor,
please forgive me
Get out
Thank you, your Majesty
Na Lan
Yes, your Majesty
There's something I need you to do for me
Thank you, your Majesty
It is to kill someone
Who might that be?
Your father
You dare to disobey me?
No, I dare not
He has the intention to rebel
...and his family
ought to be exterminated
But I take your loyalty
into consideration...
and send you on this errand
to prove your innocence
Can you bring yourself to do it?
My father has rebelled against
your Majesty
He deserves to die
I am under the auspicious employment
of the Emperor
And my loyalty should come
before being filial piety
Do it right away
Yes
He must not live beyond 3 a. M
Yes
You must do it yourself
Yes
Forgive me
Father
One cannot live if the Emperor
has decreed one to die
Nor can a child live
if the father wishes it to die
Father
This is not your fault
Give it here
Father
Give it to me
Father
Lan Er
Too much to be expressed in words
Take care, child
You die for Han nationality
and its posterity
It's an honour
I wish your name will live on
Even a kid knows
he should love his parents
It is a cardinal sin to slay one's father
Na Lan, are you aware of this?
I pledge my loyalty to the country,
not to family
I pledge loyalty only to king,
not to father
My father rebelled against your Majesty
and should die
I have accurately judged your loyalty
Arise
Thank you, your Majesty
I wish to send you to check out traitors
at Jiang Nan
Follow me
Capsized in the sewer
Today we were played at the hands
of that girl
So powerless!
There's something strange about this
How come Lama has a blueprint?!
Maybe she hasn't stolen it
No
The blueprint with Lama
might not be genuine
Because if the blueprint were lost...
The Emperor would have killed him
Right, let's look for the Lama
Damn
I have an important assignment for you
Please decree, your Majesty
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Come in
Yes
Your Majesty
Na Lan
Here, your Majesty
I promote you
as the leader of Flying Guillotines
Do your best to suppress the rebels
Thank you, your Majesty
Getting rid of the rebels is important
I'll depart now
Fine
You both heard, didn't you?
Yes, Lord Na
See you at the training ground
Yes
Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Do you know how did Na Lan...
kill her father?
With poison
It's right, then
She's trying to preserve
her father's body
This shows she is filial
This might create resentment in her
You're right, Your Majesty
That's why you should monitor her
on this task
Yes
If she falters, execute her
Yes, your Majesty
I have an idea
Now that the Flying Guillotines
have left the palace
...it's timely to assassinate Yung Jing
This news must be brought to
Dan Hsia Mountain
Use delay tactics
And hold up the Flying Guillotines
Sister, don't worry. We know what to do
Go on
Good. I take your leave
Ma Tan
How is it?
Soon. One more day
& I'll be done with the lock
Then we can stop
the double Flying Guillotine
No way. It's too late
The Flying Guillotines are
on the way to Jiang Nan
...and will reach
Dan Hsia in the morning
This is the best time
to assassinate the tyrant
Ma Tan, you...
Don't worry,
I'll be at the mountain tomorrow
...and deal with Bao and Gang
I'll depart first then
All heroes are gathered to
slay the tyrant
We pledge with our lives
to kill Yung Jing
Good... with so many hearts
joined together
Yung Jing must die
God speed you all with success
No time to waste
The Flying Guillotines will arrive soon
Be on your way now
I'll handle the situation here
Hero Jin, take care
Speak up... where is Na Lan?
Where she ought to be
So you're unwilling to speak!
You two, out with it
No
I'll tear open your clothes
All right, I'll tell you
Where?
She has gone to rid us
of tyrant Yung Jing
And return peace to the people
You're too cruel
Na Lan will seek revenge on you one day
Not talking?
I'll let you die slowly
I've since long disregarded
life and death
You've done so much evil.
Your time has come
How should we deal with this?
I think there's more than meets the eye
Wang Biao,
lead them to wipe out the rebels
Yes
We'll return to the palace
and protect the Emperor
Hero Jin
Hero Ma
Catch up with Na Lan and kill Yung Jing
Hero Jin
Where are my men?
Your Majesty, please stand back
Ma Tan
You dare to go back on your word?
I deserve death in breaking my pledge
But the blood you owe to the people...
would have to be reckoned with blood!
Where is she from?
Your Majesty
A pretty Han girl from Soo Chow
Bring the sword
Yes
I dislike Han women; throw her out
Yes
Let him leave the palace
but have him followed
Yes
Yung Jing Emperor of Qing Dynasty
To consolidate his power
The Emperor ruled with a strong hand
And developed the Flying Guillotine...
to kill Han people
and those who opposed him
But righteousness would not be suppressed
The heroes of Jiang Nan
rose up in rebellion
And created a heroic event
to assassinate the Emperor
You've lost again
Tien Sin Dragon swordplay
It commands my respect
Jiang Nan's Fastest Sword
Jiang Cheung Fung
You really live up to your fame
I am not quite convinced
Li Sing Nan
How can you be so outright blunt?
I haven't seen it, so I'm not convinced
So you're Jiang Nan's Fastest Sword?
This is the expert of
Tien Sin Dragon Sword?
Sui Sheng Piu
Unless you two let me witness
with my own eyes
Minor technique - no big deal
I was under surveillance, so I'm late
Sincere apologies
Is everybody here?
Brother Bai Tai Kuan hasn't arrived
Everyone knows
The Emperor is killing the innocent
The people are oppressed
Now all heroes are gathered at
Dan Hsia Mountain
...prepared to overthrow the tyrant
Everyone here is laden with
heavy responsibilities
We should go to Dan Hsia Mountain at once
Na Lan
Hero Jin
Na Lan, why have you risked coming here?
Bai's mission to assassinate
the Emperor failed
The Flying Guillotines are coming,
we can't stay
I have to leave. Goodbye
Brother Jin, who is she?
One of us
Na Lan, daughter of Military Secretary
Brother Bai failed
Let's go
Big brother
Big brother
Bai Tai Kuan
You took matters into your own hands
...and made a mess
God knows how many innocent people
and heroes
...will die for this
Big Brother, I'm wrong
Rash people like you...
should not go to Dan Hsia Mountain
Big brother, I...
Flying Guillotines, go
Ma Tan
Hero Ma, wait a minute
Come with us to Dan Hsia Mountain
What for?
To kill Yung Jing Emperor
No
Why?
I can't do it
Ma Tan
Are you afraid?
Brother, watch your manners
Since hero Ma has his personal reasons
Farewell and we'll meet another time
Take care
You're so useless,
can't even capture Ma Tan
We're incompetent and deserve death
Ma Tan is an expert
of the Flying Guillotine
He knows the theory and can nullify it
He could pose a problem in future
Minister
Yes, your Majesty
These are a single day's reports
from Jiang Nan
Have a look
Arise
Thank you
Who has incited the people to rebellion
Assassinating our officials,
...and made an attempt on my life?
Come, men
Yes
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Yes
Decree from the Emperor
Bao Ying
Here, your Majesty
Gang Jing Fung
Present
Enter the palace
Yes
- Gang Jing Fung
- Bao Ying
Your Majesty
The whereabouts of Ma Tan
Have you found out yet?
Yes I have. However...
Ma used Iron Umbrella
to block the Flying Guillotine
Therefore...
You are so useless
You can't even find Ma Tan
I have a good idea...
which will corner Ma
Come and tell me
Yes
In every village...
out of every ten families
...one Han will be killed
every three days
They'd be forced to give up Ma
I also have an idea
Speak
Hang their bodies on the roads
And let the rebels see
Good, kill two birds with one stone.
Let's do it
Yes
The Emperor has decreed
Yes
Capture Han people
Yes
Behead them
Yes
I hear they're looking for you everywhere
I am worried for you
Yu Lan
The shoes are made, try them
Yu Lan, in these years
...you've suffered with me
Hiding everywhere, living without peace
Siu Cheung's father
Don't say it
With you by my side,
even if it's worse...
I wouldn't complain
Except that Siu Cheung should be
at school
Father
Sleep now
Remember my words
If one day I really have to leave you...
take Siu Cheung;
change your names and hide
Why can you...
You should understand
Some people should not live
for themselves alone
I don't understand and don't want to
It's time to proceed with the execution
Please save them
Mercy...
Halt
Ma Tan
I'm the one you want
Let them go
All right, release them
Bring Ma Tan
Yes
Thank you, hero
According to the Emperor's order
Ma Tan once caught
should be executed immediately
Yes
Siu Cheung's Father...!
Behead him
Run quickly
Who's in charge of Jiang Nan?
I...
Reply inside
Yes
Do you know your faults?
Yes we do
There's still no sign of Ma Tan
What should be done?
We're incompetent and deserve death
I'll grant you your wish
Behead them
Your Majesty
Aren't you going to thank the Emperor?
Useless servant
Behead them
Yes
Take them away
Yes. Move it
Come on
Wait
Greetings to Royal teacher
Wait
Teacher, please wait
What's the matter?
You have special privilege
to enter the library
I also have the power to search you
What? Search me?
By order of the Emperor
All right, search then
What is this?
Don't you know it's a snuff bottle?
How'd I know
if there isn't a concealed weapon?
I'll return it when you leave
Useless servant
Your Majesty
Teacher
About these three lords
Teacher, please wait
Gang Jing Fung, Bao Ying
Here, your Majesty
I decree that any official...
who dares to represent the three of them;
Will be guilty as they are
Yes
The Emperor has decreed
Whoever dares to represent them
...will be guilty as they are
Your Majesty, what are they guilty of?
They have failed to suppress
the rebellion
Your Majesty
What are the causes of rebellion?
What?
People will support a just rule,
otherwise they'll rebel
I don't want their hearts,
I only want the kingdom
Without winning hearts,
how can there be a kingdom?
I don't need to argue with you
Hadn't I considered you
as my teacher 20 years ago
...I'll not have mercy on you
Your Majesty
Go
Please take back your decree
Your Majesty, I beg you
None of your business
Guards
Here, Your Majesty
Behead the three of them
Your Majesty
Yes
Execute them
Yes
Drag them out
Go...
Your Majesty
Tyranny will only suppress kingdoms
It will not win over hearts
What insolence!
Go...
The whole kingdom will fall
because of your tyranny
This is serious insubordination
and insolence
Execute his whole family
Go
Your Majesty
You can't act in your own ways
Have mercy
My words are ordained by heaven,
rebels will die
You tyrant king
Lord...
He dirtied my spotless palace
Get rid of him
Yes
Your Majesty, aren't you afraid
...of being a laughing stock?
You are coming of age
And unsuited to be a lord anymore.
You may retire
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Take his hat and see him out
Yes
Wait! No need for you to do it
Nor do you need to see me out
Teacher, thank you for
your years of guidance
I am not your teacher
Wise men don't have such pupils
Out of respect for the late king...
I'll show you how to run the country
Your Majesty, farewell
The snuff bottle?
Useless slave
See the Royal Teacher out
Farewell
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Yes, your Majesty
Send him to hell
Yes
Thank you, hero... for saving my life
Please accept my gratitude
Teacher, you're welcome
You are...
Na Lan, daughter of Military Secretary
I came here to save you
This is no place for staying long
Please hide out in the Guan Yin Temple
Lady
What's the matter?
Lady
We have orders to capture Teacher Yeung
Have you seen him?
No... leave
Yes
Lady, what are you doing here?
Fool
What do you think I'm doing?
Lady
I know you're practising your sword
And I intend to use your brain
for practice
Lady, lady
Scram
Yes. Let's leave
Teacher, it's all right
Miss, I don't understand
Why do you assist me
behind your father's back?
Your help is essential for success
Success for what?
Assassinate Yung Jing
You...
To be honest with you
My mother is also a Han
To prove his loyalty
my dad was forced into divorce
My father dared not disobey
Yet he could not be torn from my mother
At the end...
My mother hanged herself to her death!
Besides, the emperor is tyrannical
As long as he lives...
Han people will not have
a single day of peace
Right
Lord Cheung,
I'll bury your family for you
Hope you could help us out
I appreciate your righteousness
But killing Yung Jing
is like ascending the Heavens
Even if he is in heaven,
I will fly up to kill him
impersonating Korean embassy officers...
to assassinate Yung Jing is a doomed task
To sacrifice one life
in exchange for his head
It's worth it
OK, let's draw lots to decide
I'll go
You look more like a bandit than a prince
How can you go?
Let's draw again
No need, I'll go
Teacher, this is a list of gifts
Palace rules forbid
ordinary people access to it
Right?
Yes
We'll conceal the poisoned sword here
And avoid being detected
This is a concealed weapon?
Don't touch
This is the Poisoned Sword
And must be handled with care
Old sir, maybe you don't believe this
This was left by my great grandfather
Look
It's turned black
Yung Jing has a mean heart
When he's dead, he turns black
Old sir, where do you think
it should be hidden?
Put it here
Brother Cheung,
do you know how to use it?
A light touch
will release the concealed weapon
Don't touch it for any other reason
All of them have changed
You're still playing the flute
I only know playing flute
Isn't that what you say?
I misjudged you. Forgive me
Do me two favours to make up for it
I'll do anything
Speak
My mother is quite aged
I'm afraid my assignment this time...
I'll take care of her
Believe me
I have a friend
...who is with me all the time
Keep it company when I'm gone
Who is it?
This is it
it?ll be light soon
Brother, take this
We'll prepare a feast
to celebrate your return
Even if I don't return
My spirit will
Wait
Anyone entering the palace
must be searched
Search him
Lord, you cannot open this
No one can unless the emperor has seen it
Tsui Jin Ru of Korea to see the Emperor
Long live the Emperor
Tributes for the Emperor to see
Korea is besieged by draught and famine
Still you bring us gifts!
Prepare tea for him
Yes
Thank you, your Majesty
Tsui Jin Yu
Yes
Your Shun Tak King is 70 odd years old
How is he?
The king is fortunately in good health
General Li wiped out the bandits
He fought a good battle
Thank you, your Majesty
It's nothing to be boastful of
Bullshit. The battle was in fact lost
The king has died
over a hundred years ago
How can he be alive?
Seize him
To disguise as Korean,
kneel with both knees
Dagger is concealed;
luckily I've armour for protection
Who are you?
Debt collector
The country is rife
with persecution of intellectuals
How much blood do you owe the people?
A pity!
There is still a bit more debt owed
Cheung Fung, your spirits in heaven...
will see us accomplish your will
Oh, my rice
Don't move
What?
Here are ten taels of gold for you
Open it
4th Brother
Mount up
His Majesty the Emperor
Where is the cardinal?
I need to see him
Yes
More medicine
Yes
His Majesty asks for you
Let him wait
What a nerve, not to welcome the emperor
Disobeying the Emperor
Wait
- Yes
- What's the hurry?
Your Majesty
Your Majesty shows his kindness
to Lama Koupin
...and invited him
from Tibet to the palace
Even converted Yin Hu Palace
into a monastery
Yet he dares not to come to pay respects
We must not tolerate this
Damn, what do you know?
Ask Lama's guards to stand down
Yes
The Emperor has decreed the guards
to stand down
Your Majesty
What wrong has your servant done?
He is skilled in principles of mechanics
And can develop all kinds of
concealed weapons
I want to make use of him
You are wise, Your Majesty
Forget the formality
The cardinal pays his respects
Your Majesty
I'm late and deserve punishment
I will not blame you
Come in
Yes
These are gifts from Korea
I give them to you
Your Majesty is very considerate
Also, your hat
I want to give you a new one
I assign you
as the Chief Cardinal of Qing court
Thank you, your Majesty
It's just that... I do not deserve it
And I should earn it
with my accomplishments
I've no accomplishments;
how can I serve your Majesty
I want you to improve
the Flying Guillotine
Has someone found a way to block it?
Who would that be?
Ma Tan the traitor
The Guillotine is used by
royal commission
It beheads from a hundred paces
It is powerful and unbeatable
How can it be blocked?
Simply by this
A tattered umbrella!
Very smart
You'd never think that a boxer...
could figure out this principle
Capitalising on the upward rotation
of the umbrella
To bounce off the Flying Guillotine
And those using the Guillotine...
have been hurt by the ricochet
of the Guillotine
Doesn't it mean that...
the royal weapon would become useless?
Relax. By law of nature one thing
preys on another
I will think of something
I'll improve the Guillotine
and thwart the umbrella
Good. When will it be finished?
Well, Rome was not built in a day!
The sooner the better
The unbeatable double Flying Guillotine
How is it different
from the previous version?
The secret is inside
I have to see this
Guard
Here, sire
I decree the palace to be secured
and locked
No one is allowed to enter
Yes
Your Majesty, are you satisfied?
You have designed it meticulously
Thank you, your Majesty
Congratulations, your Majesty
Even with Ma Tan's weapon
He can't block
the double Flying Guillotines
Can you discern
the secret amidst it all?
Yes I can
Two Flying Guillotines put together...
when blocked by umbrella
will trigger the mechanism
And set off attacks from below and above
Xiao Chi Tsi
People say you're quite smart
You're not bad
Thank you, your Majesty
Arise
Yes
Come here
Yes
Xiao Chi Tsi
Here, sire
Have you learnt kung fu?
Yes I have
If I had not...
how would I serve your Majesty?
You're gonna come in useful
Thank you, your Majesty
Go over there
Yes
I will test the Flying Guillotine on you
Yes
Your Majesty, try it on me?!
Go on
Yes
Go over there
Congratulations, your Majesty. It works
Listen, all of you
Double Flying Guillotines' secret
can't be leaked
Yes
May I be bold enough to ask...
Why did you kill Xiao?
Those who love acknowledgement
and praises
...cannot keep secrets
Your Majesty is wise
Cardinal
Your Majesty
Your contribution to this invention
is commendable
Here are 10,000 taels of gold
as your reward
Thank you, your Majesty
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
I decree
Have the military head
gather the 3 Flag platoon
Select new recruits...
to retrain in the Flying Guillotines
Yes
Come back
Yes
I want you to let Ma Tan,
Jing Fung Chi and the lot
Taste the steel
of the double Flying Guillotines
Yes
Lord Lao
You have to be very careful
Yes
You be in front,
I'll lurk in the background
And capture Ma Tan
at the blacksmith's place
I know
You should change your hat (rank)
Thank you, Lord Gang
You thank me a bit too soon
Wait
Who is it?
My daughter Na Lan
Lord Gang, your swordsmanship is deadly
Yours isn't bad either
She liked to practise
martial arts as a kid
She could serve the Emperor in future
Why did you hide behind the partition?
I've brought medicine for father
Father
Good, good
Farewell
See him out
We will make a detour
We must go before the vultures...
to save Ma Tan
Everyone is clear
Miss Na Lan, you can't come with us
And you three...
should proceed to Ping Jiang
to check out the situation
Don't worry
We can perform as well in water,
mountain and land
We are familiar with
the surroundings here
Everyone, keep your eyes peeled
There'll be guards along the way...
with Flying Guillotines concealed
Boss
Any good choppers?
Certainly
How much?
5 copper coins
Thank you
Go quickly
We can handle it here
Hero Ma
Flee with your relatives
Go...
Yu Lan
Siu Cheung
Father
Siu Cheung's father
It is you the Emperor wants
If you could only come with us!
All right, I'll go with you
Release them first
I don't trust you
Father
Take him
Yes
Siu Cheung's father
Father
Siu Cheung's father
Siu Cheung, Yu Lan
Remember my words...
Yu Lan, Siu Cheung
I'll avenge you
I'll follow you to Dan Hsia Mountain
The double Flying Guillotine
is indeed powerful
I want to ask you
Will it be defeated again?
Nature does decree that
one thing preys on another
So it's difficult to say for sure
I wish you could develop...
an even more powerful Flying Guillotine
Yes, your Majesty
Hero Jin,
only by sneaking into the palace...
can we obtain the blueprint
of the new Guillotine
And thus nullify the enemies' efforts
Wait, I'm familiar with the palace
Yung Jing is treacherous and conniving
You are merely a girl
It's easier said than done
You underestimate me
Hero Ma
You can escape from the palace
So by the same logic
I can sneak into the palace
Even if you do, it'll be suicide
For the sake of the Han kingdom
...I have to do whatever it takes
The Emperor is holding a test
for fighters
The candidates, please come in
Our respects, Your Majesty
You have been selected among 300 fighters
You're the best of the best
I assign all of you
as the Royal Flying Guillotine
Thank you, your Majesty
Swear-in ceremony
We swear by the heavens
To be loyal to the Emperor
If we renege on our promise
From parents to off springs
They'll be doomed and damned
We pledge loyalty
We will also be filial
If we rebel against the Emperor
Families will be exterminated
The Emperor leaves
What's the matter?
Stop her
Who is it?
I've come for an audition
Right
You useless wimps
What power have you?
Get them out
What?
Wait
Lord
The Emperor seeks the best fighters
We have come for an audition
The guards not letting us in,
is understandable
But as an official why do you stop us?
What are you talking about?
Lord, if Emperor knew
you can't take the responsibility
What a sharp tongue!
The Emperor seeks the best fighters
But...
But has not said to exclude women
Come
Mu Gwai Ying storming the Heaven Gate
Fa Mu Lan fighting in her father's place
And the legend of Madam Sair
My lord,
even if you haven't read about them
You must have heard of these heroines?
Shut up
They were Han people
My lord
Han heroines can equal men
and become legends
We Manchu girls have heroines...
famous throughout posterity
Correct
Come here
Our respects, Your Majesty
Who is it?
Your Majesty
She is Lord Bao's daughter
I apologize for not teaching her well
Insolent Na Lan,
you have insulted your superior
Do you know what punishment that means?
Heavens can attest to my loyalty
May it please your Majesty to note
You have vision and commitment
But how is your kung fu?
If I didn't know kung fu,
would I have dared to come?
The knife, the spear,
the sword and the lance
I'm equally skilled
Axe, Pole-axe, Hook and Fork
Yes
Striking and leaping techniques
I know them
Try her
Yes
If you can hit the target
You're spared
If you miss
Your family will be beheaded
Your Majesty
I am not afraid to die
Attack
Lord Bao Lao
Your Majesty
You've taught your daughter well
Thank you, your Majesty
Rise
You fools, had I not
auditioned candidates myself
...you would have wasted such talent
It is my fault
I deserve death
Na Lan
Your Majesty
You're now the female Flying Guillotine
by royal decree
Thank you, your Majesty
Father, father
Na Lan
See what have you done behind my back!
Father
I captured Teacher Yeung; you freed him
I caught Ma Tan; you released him
Today you stormed into
the training ground
Father, I...
I wanted to avenge my mother
You know the Flying Guillotines
are well organized
And are cruel and brutal
You are but a girl
lf...
I know
I've long since disregarded
life and death
This is poison
It kills by a mere taste. Use it well
Take it
Father, don't worry
I know what to do
Hurry...
Quickly...
Hurry...
Don't play this trick again
If not by me, who else?
You look after the men,
I'll deal with the women
None of your business
Who says you're to deal with the females?
The Emperor
You dare to use the Flying Guillotine
in the palace?
You dare to molest a girl in the palace?
I tell you, it's unwise
...to cross a Flying Guillotine
We have accomplished our training
It is accomplished...
What's the big deal?
This is elementary
Continue training
Continue tomorrow
Wait
You dare to give orders?
Female Flying Guillotines
are under my responsibility
Go
You dare?
Go
Go
Whoever dares to go will be beheaded
You dare?
Go
My lord
What are you doing here?
Nothing
I followed Na Lan...
and saw her coming out
from the Lama Temple
What was she doing there?
Follow her
Yes
How did it go?
I got the blueprint
Who is it?
Bao Ying's associate
What's to be done?
Take the blueprint to Dan Hsia Mountain
Lin Gia
Lin Gia, what's the matter?
What is it?
Speak, speak
You silenced the witness
What did he see?
Lord Bao, no nonsense
His Majesty the Emperor
What's the matter?
Your Majesty
Lord Na used the poisoned needle
to kill my man
Judging by the way he died...
he might have discovered Lord Na's secret
Please investigate, your Majesty
Is there really such a matter?
Yes
Arise
Yes
Na Lan
Yes
Why kill him?
Lift up your head
This training area
is off-limits to outsiders
He sneaked in at night suspiciously
And kept silent when I questioned him
He turned and fled
How was I to know he was Lord Bao's man?
I took him for an assassin
And could not have let him go
Your Majesty,
since she did not see who it was
...how could she say it was an assassin,
and kill unscrupulously?
Right
Your Majesty,
we've the responsibility to guard you
Yes
We must be extra cautious...
and act without slightest hesitation
If I cannot do even this...
am I eligible to be
a female Flying Guillotine?
If you think I did wrong, punish me then
No, you did well
Thank you, your Majesty
He deserved to die
Yes
Arise, all
Thank you, your Majesty
Arise
Yes
Jiang Nan confidential submission
for your perusal
Ask Lama Koupin to come and see me
Return to the palace
Yes
The Emperor departs
All of you come with me
Your Majesty
Arise
Thank you, your Majesty
I have summoned you
in the middle of the night
...for a small matter
Do you've the blueprint
for double Flying Guillotine?
Yes I have
Where is it?
With me. Please take a look
You vermin, daring to harm the innocent!
I am very sorry
Na Lan
Yes
Slap him... vent out your anger
Thank you, your Majesty
My lords
I must obey the Emperor,
please forgive me
Get out
Thank you, your Majesty
Na Lan
Yes, your Majesty
There's something I need you to do for me
Thank you, your Majesty
It is to kill someone
Who might that be?
Your father
You dare to disobey me?
No, I dare not
He has the intention to rebel
...and his family
ought to be exterminated
But I take your loyalty
into consideration...
and send you on this errand
to prove your innocence
Can you bring yourself to do it?
My father has rebelled against
your Majesty
He deserves to die
I am under the auspicious employment
of the Emperor
And my loyalty should come
before being filial piety
Do it right away
Yes
He must not live beyond 3 a. M
Yes
You must do it yourself
Yes
Forgive me
Father
One cannot live if the Emperor
has decreed one to die
Nor can a child live
if the father wishes it to die
Father
This is not your fault
Give it here
Father
Give it to me
Father
Lan Er
Too much to be expressed in words
Take care, child
You die for Han nationality
and its posterity
It's an honour
I wish your name will live on
Even a kid knows
he should love his parents
It is a cardinal sin to slay one's father
Na Lan, are you aware of this?
I pledge my loyalty to the country,
not to family
I pledge loyalty only to king,
not to father
My father rebelled against your Majesty
and should die
I have accurately judged your loyalty
Arise
Thank you, your Majesty
I wish to send you to check out traitors
at Jiang Nan
Follow me
Capsized in the sewer
Today we were played at the hands
of that girl
So powerless!
There's something strange about this
How come Lama has a blueprint?!
Maybe she hasn't stolen it
No
The blueprint with Lama
might not be genuine
Because if the blueprint were lost...
The Emperor would have killed him
Right, let's look for the Lama
Damn
I have an important assignment for you
Please decree, your Majesty
Bao Ying, Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Come in
Yes
Your Majesty
Na Lan
Here, your Majesty
I promote you
as the leader of Flying Guillotines
Do your best to suppress the rebels
Thank you, your Majesty
Getting rid of the rebels is important
I'll depart now
Fine
You both heard, didn't you?
Yes, Lord Na
See you at the training ground
Yes
Gang Jing Fung
Here, your Majesty
Do you know how did Na Lan...
kill her father?
With poison
It's right, then
She's trying to preserve
her father's body
This shows she is filial
This might create resentment in her
You're right, Your Majesty
That's why you should monitor her
on this task
Yes
If she falters, execute her
Yes, your Majesty
I have an idea
Now that the Flying Guillotines
have left the palace
...it's timely to assassinate Yung Jing
This news must be brought to
Dan Hsia Mountain
Use delay tactics
And hold up the Flying Guillotines
Sister, don't worry. We know what to do
Go on
Good. I take your leave
Ma Tan
How is it?
Soon. One more day
& I'll be done with the lock
Then we can stop
the double Flying Guillotine
No way. It's too late
The Flying Guillotines are
on the way to Jiang Nan
...and will reach
Dan Hsia in the morning
This is the best time
to assassinate the tyrant
Ma Tan, you...
Don't worry,
I'll be at the mountain tomorrow
...and deal with Bao and Gang
I'll depart first then
All heroes are gathered to
slay the tyrant
We pledge with our lives
to kill Yung Jing
Good... with so many hearts
joined together
Yung Jing must die
God speed you all with success
No time to waste
The Flying Guillotines will arrive soon
Be on your way now
I'll handle the situation here
Hero Jin, take care
Speak up... where is Na Lan?
Where she ought to be
So you're unwilling to speak!
You two, out with it
No
I'll tear open your clothes
All right, I'll tell you
Where?
She has gone to rid us
of tyrant Yung Jing
And return peace to the people
You're too cruel
Na Lan will seek revenge on you one day
Not talking?
I'll let you die slowly
I've since long disregarded
life and death
You've done so much evil.
Your time has come
How should we deal with this?
I think there's more than meets the eye
Wang Biao,
lead them to wipe out the rebels
Yes
We'll return to the palace
and protect the Emperor
Hero Jin
Hero Ma
Catch up with Na Lan and kill Yung Jing
Hero Jin
Where are my men?
Your Majesty, please stand back
Ma Tan
You dare to go back on your word?
I deserve death in breaking my pledge
But the blood you owe to the people...
would have to be reckoned with blood!
