Return to the 36th Chamber (1980) - full transcript

Chiang Tai Dye Mill

Ah Sheng, the dye has been quite bad of late.
The color doesn't stay.

That's right, someone must be behind this

Sheng bro, the chief wants to talk to you

Sir, is this OK?

It's all right

Brother Sheng

Chief

Look at this, how come it's like this?
How can this be acceptable?

Our dye is a little...
- A little what?

It's the same dye



See, theirs is much darker

Why is our dye lighter?
- Maybe we need to concentrate it a little

What's the matter?

They are from Manchuria

Our boss hired them

To mix the colors.
- Then I...

Don't worry! You can still work here

They have come to assist you

I have no problem in that

But I have to go talk to the others

There's no need; you do your own thing

They have their own jobs.
- I'm afraid it will delay work

Yes.
The colors will be a mess.

Relax, we brought our color sticks



Look

What do you need the rods for?

This is the special tool from Manchuria

It's quite special

So it's got to be alright.
- The boss said, from today onwards...

You will have a pay cut of 20 percent
- Why?

Why do we have to bear a pay cut?
- You wish to know the reason?

The 20 percent is so we can pay them

That's not right.
- That's highway robbery!

You Manchurians shouldn't be violent.
You should be reasonable.

Brother Sheng...

This is the most sensible thing

What do you want to do?

Brother Sheng...

You...

Ah Chao, Shih Sheng, stop messing around

Why are you hitting... it's unreasonable
- Stop fighting; stop it!

Our fabric is getting worse recently

That's why our boss
is hiring the technicians

Yuan Li Hou and Chuan Min
are here to help you

It's because of the Manchurians.
We have to take a pay cut.

Be quiet!

This is the boss' idea.
Take it or leave it!

Then I'll be the first to leave!
- Chou Shih Sheng

I'll quit too!
- Me too!

I'm also leaving!
- So am I!

I'll go too!
- Count me in!

I'm not going to stay either!

Let's go... I'll go too!

Stop!

What a nerve, Chou Shih Sheng!

You started a strike

Whoever dares to leave the mill...

...I'll break his legs
- Move away

Move it...

You want to fight?

Stop fighting

I'll break your legs

Don't fight anymore

Chuan Min,
you can't even beat the women

We'll beat you! Goddamn Manchurian

Cut it out...

All right, chief.
We'll follow his orders

And take the pay cut.
- Now go back to work!

Ah Chao

Are you alright?

Chief Ma recruited some Manchurians.
And made us take a pay cut

They are violent and looking for fights

They must've planned it before, Shih Seng

Uncle Li, you've been here for a long time.
We have been earning a lot for him

You're the color specialist in Chiang Tai

The raw materials are worse than before.
I knew it would not work

All right,
we should go to talk to the boss

It's no use fighting against Manchurians

The boss himself hired them

Well... Mr. Li?

Can we go to the court?
- That's worse; let me tell you why

Boss holds influence in their court

Can't sue him and get beaten up
if we don't work

If we work we receive less money

Who knows how much they'll deduct later!

Why do we even bother coming to work?
- How I wish that we knew some Kung Fu

Ah Chao!
- We'd fight them if we knew how

Don't worry about bruises and injury.
Our wonder pills from Shaolin...

...heal all bruises.

Cures cuts.
Improves circulation

You can eat half and rub the rest on

Better than candy, I'd say

In my opinion we should continue working.
Rather not create a scene with them.

True, let's avoid getting beaten up

You're all here

Hey, don't rush...
This can cure it...

You're lucky, sir

Take the whole box; go ahead...

What the hell are you doing? Ah Chieh...
Our work is different from yours

We have to pretend to be someone.
To be a monkey you need to look like one

To be a monk you need to be bald.
They always fall for it

How come you're all free tonight?
- Our boss hired a whole bunch of Manchurians

We need to give up pay for them

Your brother got into a fight with them.
Ah Chao got hurt too

Let me look at it, Ah Chao.
- What are you doing?

You dare to sell me fake medicine.
- What are you talking about?

My medicine is really from Shaolin Temple.
- Do you really think you're a monk?

Aren't I?

The monks from Shaolin know martial arts.
- Well, so do I

Good then, go get revenge for Ah Chao

Don't push me into it.
I can't use my skills for revenge

It's for peaceful purposes.
- What the hell is that kind of martial arts?

It's only for a living.
- Don't lie

Who is lying?

Shut up, let's go Ah Chieh

Thanks, I'm leaving now

Li Se, donate twenty cents

Merciful Buddha,
Shaolin Temple needs fixing

Please donate some money

Move it, I don't have...
- Your goodness will be aptly rewarded

He is over there.
- It's really him! Let's go over to see him

Is that OK?
- Don't worry

Gentleman, Lady, Shaolin need repairs.
Donate some money to help out?

Chu Jen Chieh

What, it's you

You're really good at this.
- Of course, otherwise all those...

All those dummies wouldn't fall for it.
- We'd like you to pretend to be a monk

And take revenge for us with your kung fu

Don't count on me; they will kill me

Are you Chu Shih Seng's brother?
- Yes, I am

Are you our friend?
- Of course

You see, they took advantage of us.
Are you going to help?

I will.
- What are you waiting for?

Hi, big fellow.
I'm not really a Shaolin monk

I'm just pretending to be one.
- That's it; let's go...

We'll tell you the details.
- Let's talk about it when we get home

I know this is for stirring yellow

Do you like the other shades of yellow?
- What other kinds of yellow?

Are you playing with me?

Hsiao Hung!

There are too many people here, hold on

She'll bring out the yellow fabric later

You just follow her

Hsiao Hung

What are you doing here?
- And you?

Why are you here? Ah Chuan

I'm... here for a girl

Is that true?
- Both of you got a date or what?

Yeah.
- With who?

The girl with the yellow fabric.
- You...

That cute one with the yellow fabric
- You too?

Is that her?
- That's her

Let's go

Goddamn it; you people are too much.
Had our salary reduced...

And still you tease the ladies
- You jerk! Dare to mess with me? Get them!

Break it off!

Who the hell are you?
- I'm a Shaolin monk, San Te

Monk San Te?!

That's me

Merciful Buddha

Great kung fu! You really from Shaolin?
- That's right

No wonder you could do that!

Why are you fighting here?
Is that necessary?

He's great.
- Good timing. Venerable monk

We're the workers from Chiang Tai Mill.
They are the famous Manchurian technicians

Our boss hired them.
And we all got a pay cut

Beat them up!

Why are you so reckless?

If I didn't hold myself back...

You would either be dead or injured

All the workers, please listen.
- Yes...

About your pay cut...

I'll try my best to help you.
- Really?

Thank you...

San Te

You go back to tell your chief.
I'll visit him later

Let's go

They left

Chief! A monk has come from Shaolin.
- Who is he?

Monk San Te

Isn't he the abbot of the 36 chambers?
- Yes, he is

Don't get nervous.
What can he do to us?

Chu Shih Seng asked him to come over here.
- Come here; why?

Perhaps he's here for us.
- Ok, we'll see how tough he is

His martial arts is unbeatable, sir

Is he really that good?
- Did you fight against him?

We haven't had a chance.
But he did show off a little

His steps and strength are incredible.
I don't think we can handle him

So he's coming to help the workers.
Where is he now?

He's waiting outside for our reply.
- He came to our doorstep?

Everyone... don't worry.
We don't need to sacrifice our pay

We asked a monk to help us.
Move it...

Are you looking for trouble? Get to work

C'mon, get to work...

What're you doing? Ah Chao! They're coming.
- Move your fat ass

Please come in

You...

Merciful Buddha

This is monk San Te from Shaolin

He has come here today...
To restore justice

Why the hell did ya have to blather
to him about our factory affairs?

Everything is going on so smoothly

Chief Ma, you took part of our pay for
the Manchurians. And you still think we are happy?

Yes, he dares to think that!
- Please listen to me. Let's discuss it over

Chief Ma

It's really unreasonable

I mean, we're all human beings

They don't need to work and they get paid.
And though we need to work very hard...

we still bear with a pay cut

The government is controlled by Manchuria

There's a difference because they are Manchurian.
- You are relying on the power of Manchurians

To force us to agree for a pay cut.
- Who said that?

You don't need to work
if the pay is no good

You'll beat us up if we don't work.
- Yes...

Please have mercy, chief Ma

Merciful Buddha

Monk San Te

The Government sent them.
Please stay away from our business

Don't get involved

I can help you if you need a donation

How much do you want?

Just give me a number

I...

Fifty taels

One, two, three, four, five

This is bribery. Let's beat them up

Stop! Don't be afraid

Violence isn't a solution to problems

What do you think, Chief Ma?

Don't you agree with me?

No...

Have mercy

You still can change your mind. Sir

Give them their old wages

OK

I'll listen to you. Monk San Te

Merciful Buddha! You're a good man.
- Yes

Please listen carefully

You'll get the same pay as before.
All of you can go back to work

That's great!

Thank you for your help.
- You...

Please

Shih Seng Ge, using Jen Chiehs skill.
Plus our great ideas

Those goddamn Manchurians.
They couldn't believe it

But they believe it now

Honestly, I can pretend to be anyone.
I'm very skillful

I can even feign to be a girl

I'm so eighteen and never had a boyfriend

Let's drink... cheers...

Don't be too confident, Ah Chieh.
We were lucky to fool them this time

What if you can't fool them next time,
you'll...

Look at me! It'll always work

What are you doing now?
No more pay cut, Shih Sheng

We can finally relax.
Come on... Let's have a drink

Go ahead! Let's drink...

The monk should've stayed in Shaolin

Why did he come to Canton??
- I saw him in Chiang Tai Dyeing Mill

His martial arts are unbeatable

All of you are afraid of him. So...

I just wanted to calm things down. I agreed
to give them their old pay for a while

Idiot

There are many great fighters in Shaolin

Had I offended him...
All of the workers will be against us

Of course with your contacts...
There shouldn't be a problem

Shaolin Temple
should keep to its own matters

Let's wait a while. After the monk leaves...
we'll reduce their pay again

Fine then. You can leave

Hold on! Did you fight against him?
- No

So he just showed off a little

But he is really tough.
- OK...

Please ask monk San Te to come over here

I want to see how much he can do.
- Of course

Keep steady

Master...

Monk San Te is here, Mr. Wong

You are...
- I'm the monk San Te

You are from...
- I'm from Shaolin Temple

And why, may I ask are you here?

For donations or to help people

Both

It looks like you missed one reason

I don't think so

Well, to promote Shaolin martial artsa

Oh, I practice some time

I really would like to see that

I hope you can show me some moves.
- That's no problem

Ah Chao!

Please let me have the honor, Master

I...

Please

This rock is too big;
might hurt the workers

Wonderful... it's a very unusual step

Your eyesight is great

You can see the pebble from so far away

This is from outside

Your inner strength
should be even stronger

Would you show us?

Please grant us the honor. Master

All right. I'm going to show you something

Come on. We are waiting

I don't want you to hit those workers

You can fight with us

But I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
- We want to see your great skill

We're willing to take the chance

Go ahead

Monks don't encourage fighting, Mr. Wong

If martial arts is what you'd like to see...
You can come to Shaolin Temple

That'll be all. I have to go

Please don't leave. Monk San Te

You came down from the top.
Can you go up the same way?

I think walking the stairs will be faster.
- You...

Ah Chieh, you...

Did everyone see it? You've seen it already

San Te

You don't need to send me out

Don't move

Chief Ma, please don't push me to fight

That's what I want you to do.
- We can talk about it

This pole is not suitable for me

You can use your internal strength

Show me the best of Shaolin

What is this?

You asked a monk to help you.
He is a bloody looser

Where is your unbeatable skill? Monk

I... It's your fault.
- Stupid bald guy. - Let's go

What should we do with him?
- He dared to fool you

You can use real Kung Fu to deal with him

You're still playing around

Chief, Chuan Ge

I don't think he can stand it anymore

Please let him go. We'll apologize to you

Apologize.
- All of us will do it...

No, it's no use

Brother Chuan, we beg of you.
Please release him

I beat up the people who cheated me

My goodness, please help

Go ahead! Everyone

Let's go...

Damn it! Beat him

Look... he is really in bad shape.
- Uncle Li, what did they do?

Don't be noisy...

How is your wound?

They blew San Te's cover

I told you before. You can fool them once.
You can't make it twice

All of our workers were beaten

We are going to lose our jobs

Big brother

So dear monk, what're you going to do?

God! What was I thinking...

And caused so much trouble for everyone.
- Shut up

Why don't you try to make a living?
Get some honest work

Don't always opt for the easy way out

Just like you, Big brother?

Look at you! You're punch bags

You deserve it because you cheated others

But not only did you get punished...
All the workers suffered too

That's true. I shouldn't involve everyone

But I made it the first time

No one got a pay cut.
It would be fine if we stop then

I shouldn't have continued the act.
Do you really think I know Kung Fu?

I can't do anything. - You ought
to learn some useful skill

All right, I will

Don't expect my help when I succeed

Ah Chieh

Chou Jen Chieh

This time...
Who do you want me to be?

Monastery of Wu Dong or Bai Mei

You want me to be a governor
or an officer?

Tell me. Who do you want me to be?

Aren't I good?

Yes

Look at you

Are you pretending you got beaten up?

Ah Chao was beaten up

Ah Chao's injuries are real

I always try to fool others

Why did I do it?
- You don't need to lie

How can I compete with others
without lying?

With real Kung Fu.
- You're still pulling my leg

You know that I can't do Kung Fu.
- You can learn it

Where can I go to learn it?

You can go to Shaolin Temple

Shaolin. Why don't you go?

All of us were injured.
- Will they take sissies like us?

You think Shaolin is that easy to enter?

Not for others; but you can, Ah Chieh

Why me?

You can pretend to be a monk.
- That's right

You askin' me to do it again?
- Ah Chieh

You'd rather see us suffer, Jen Chieh.
And let them bully us forever

Yes, after you learn kung fu...
We won't need to lie

All right.
Say, even if I can get in Shaolin,

it'd still require many years to learn.
- That's all right. No matter what

We'll wait for you to avenge us

I'll learn not only for revenge

But also so that I can teach you.
- Then we'll be able to protect ourselves

Yes. Merciful Buddha.
- OK

Don't get close. I'm really a monk,
I can't get near women folk

But not me

Don't hit me
- What the hell are you talking about?

Go collect the grain. Don't stand here

Collect the grain?

Take it over

Stop hitting me...
There is someone here. Cut it out

I'm not a barrel. Stop it.
Oh come off it, please

What are you doing?

I'll make you carry 50 bags of grain each

Master...

Master?

How do you teach these little monks?

It's because I'm not capable

You can all rest today

Please take me to Shaolin Temple first.
- As you wish

Old monk.
How can you treat a master so rudely?

Stop lying! I'll hang you on the big tree over there.
If you dare pretend to be a monk again

Hurry up! Go now!

Continue collecting the grain

Move faster...

Shaolin monks
are carrying vegetables back

Master. This is not easy to digest.
- I know

Master, you...

I was a monk since I was little.
I was scared of the scarring pain...

So I moved

No wonder!

Please have some tea

Drink some tea

Why don't they drink some tea?

Please drink tea

Go ahead

Good man

You want another one?

Such a waste

It hasn't taken effect

Go ahead! It's about time

This monk can really hold it

Better find a place to take a dump

This way

Hurry up...

I don't need any help

Where are you going?

Shaolin Temple.
- Shaolin Temple?

Shaolin Temple

Which one of the 36 chambers?

The kitchen chamber, of course.
- The kitchen?

Get out

Hey little one, did you find out anything?
- Certainly

Found out every tiny detail. Let's go.
- Come back! Stop...

What is your problem?
- Is this for real?

I have done my homework

To go to Shaolin Temple.
You got to have a lot of courage

Did he ask for all of us?

There is the rule monk San Te sets

After one year, the freshers...
Can go home for a while

Why is that?
- For no apparent reason

He needs to ensure your willpower, to see
if the person has consistency and endurance

What will happen otherwise?
- You can't go back anymore

And if one comes through all the tests?
- He will let them know

He'll tell them which day to return

Which day of which month?
- The next day

Really the next day
- Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve

One dozen. Thank you

Excuse me! I didn't see you

It's very difficult to make it, Ah Te.
Yes, I found the solution

Just line up with all those monks

Please help me

Thank you. Please help me out...

Let me go...

Please help me

Don't go! Please help me

Do me a favor...

You can get in and out as you wish

It'd be better if you leave now.
Get out. Hurry up...

They walked over the sand

They didn't leave any footprints

Their skill is incredible

Wonderful...

That special Kung Fu of yours. You
can walk on the sand without footprints

It's just amazing. Merciful Buddha

Merciful Buddha

Which chamber do you belong to?

I'm from North Shaolin

I've come to learn

You're too kind... we're the same

What would you like to see?

Kung Fu

We have the same kind of sand pond.
But our method is different

Can you tell us the difference?
- We're walking very close together

Do you mean right next to each other?

Do you want me to show you?

Please do

Go

Why're you tugging at my clothes?
- This is called "Tumbling attachment"

I beg your pardon?

I haven't heard that before

You wouldn't understand it. Move

What is this called?
- "Priest San Chang crossing the river"

What does it mean?
- The Priest, when he was crossing the river...

His second apprentice was piggy backing him

Who was his second apprentice?
- The General Pig

Are you saying I'm a pig?

Merciful Buddha

Your Kung Fu is incredible.
I could hardly follow it

Thank you. What're they practicing inside?

You'll find out if you come in

Abbot, he...

Why can't it open?
- Punch it...

Are you crazy?

It's broken. Forget about it

This door is fine

It's not broken

Stop giggling

You're from the North...
- Yes, I am

Are there any laymen in North Shaolin?

Not until of late

You have passed the test

I'll take you as my apprentice

Thank you, Abbot

Not yet.
You need enter 36th chamber's gate

The 36th chamber!

You first

Merciful Buddha

Merciful Buddha. Your good name, Abbot?

I'm San Te
- San Te?

What brings you here, sir?
- I... um, I've come for you

Is there anything I can do for you?
- Hope that you will take me in

I would like to be your pupil

Where are you from?
- I'm from North Shaolin Temple

Do they also have freshmen there?
- I lived in the village below North Shaolin

How did you get into our chamber?
- I fought my way through

And I came in through the Iron Gate

What's wrong with your head?

I... you see, I've got gray hair.
I'm still young so I dyed it black

All right. You want to be my apprentice.
You'll have to wash your head first

Thank you, Abbot

Abbot San Te

Can I wash my head here?

I'm going right now

Let me go... I need to wash my head

They... won't let me

This water is for washing clothes

Then...

Up here?

Take the water down and wash there

Up...

All the water is spilt

Stop it. Everyone

Leave Chin-Long well for him.
It's for him to use only

You can use another well for water
- Yes

San Te really treats me nice

Does he suspect me? I don't think so...

Can I borrow a bucket? Please
Please lend me this bucket

I can't get water without a bucket

How can I wash my head without water?

Isn't this water?

How can you use a rock to get the water?

There is only a rock.
There'd be nothing left if I throw it

Luckily there is no one here

Why is there no water in the evening?

There is no bucket. What should I do?

I can take it off to wash

That wouldn't be so appropriate

Show your face

To fling a letter stuck on knife
is an old trick

The less you think about,
the better you hit

San Te

Abbot San Te. My mind isn't evil

I'll use the rock...

I'm almost done

It's clean now

I didn't remember it's yellow.
Why did I bother?

I shouldn't have said I had
gray hair. It's yellow

What are you doing?

Man, this time I'm doomed!

Seems okay

Abbot San Te

I've cleaned my hair

Abbot San Te... I've done it

Come and have a look.
Abbot San Te... I've washed my hair

Would you come to see it?
I've cleaned my hair very well

You really have gray hair!
- Really

Abbot

Please don't touch it

I really have gray hair

Abbot

Abbot

Please forgive me

It's very difficult
to get water with a rock

I will not try it again

Merciful Buddha

Chou Jen Chieh

You sneaked into Shaolin Temple

I knew it from the start

Did you?

Then it's time to go, I guess

Wait a second!

I thought you wanted me out.
- No. You can stay

Thank you, Master.
- You're not going to be my pupil

You've been living here for a long time

You should help Shaolin in return.
- All right. I'll try my best

We renovate the temple every 10 years.
You're in charge of scaffolding

Do you mean all by myself?

That's right.
You'll scaffold every single building

You can do it alone

It's a very big temple. Abbot

When will I finish it?
- What is your answer anyway?

There's no way I can accomplish it.
Absolutely not

All right. I'll do it

Good evening, Master

Don't stop! Go on!

Chou Jen Chieh

Abbot!

I told you unless you're done with the
task, you're not allowed in the chamber

I didn't touch the ground. Abbot

Yeah, that I can see too.
I'm standing on the pole

I wasn't in the chamber

Are you doing this on purpose?
- No. I'm not messing around

I didn't interrupt them.
They can continue

Go on! Hurry up! Work hard!
Keep on going! Move it! Don't stop!

Please no more... Abbot.
I'll fall down if you don't stop

Go do your work

I've finished it, Abbot San Te

You may come to check it out

I've done my job.
The whole thing

Yes, I did it all

You've scaffolded every chamber.
Did you know how long it took?

It took a little over than a year

Why did you need such a long time?
- I was working hard. Abbot

I climbed up and down.
From left to right

Day and night

Sunrise to Sunset

Are you sure?

Well, sometimes I did watch them practice

But please believe me.
I didn't waste time

It's very durable, Abbot San Te.
Abbot San Te...

It's very strong.
- I can tell it's very strong

I want you to tear it down now

I beg your pardon? Tear it down!

Yes, you can leave after you finish.
You will be free to go

I have to go after I take it down!

Is that some kind of a prank, Master?
- How can you treat others like that?

I thought you'd take me as your
apprentice, after I finished my task

Now you ask me to tear it down.
Isn't that like making fun of me?

You dare talk back to a Shaolin Abbot?
Don't you know you can be punished?

The worse is you'd send me to the Heaven.
- You... What did you want to say?

I thought Shaolin monks were reasonable

How come you aren't?
- Shut up. Get out right now

I'm not leaving just because you say so

You're really a cunning monk

At the most I'll need to tie it back again

But I will not leave now

There is no way you're sending me away.
I'm going to stay in Shaolin

I want to learn martial arts

Starting from the beginning

So you won't leave, is it?
- Nope

You can't make me leave

Never

What happened?

I'll tie it up

What's wrong with you? Are you pushing me?
I'm going to learn Kung Fu and I ain't leaving

Abbot San Te. Abbot San Te

Abbot San Te...

I...

San...
- Go!

Do you want to try the Woodmen Lane?

It's a huge incense burner.
- Get out!

Please take care! Abbot

How is business?
- Not too bad

What's wrong?

There is someone here.
You're just pouring it down

Look at your palm. You're a lucky person

Lots of people will help you

Please buy some

Give a little...

Come on... it smells good.

I've got peanuts here

Give me some...

Don't go! Ah Chao

Come on. What's just a few peanuts?

Hmm, it ain't stealing

Stealing? Ah Chao

I'll help you when you're loading the
goods. We can off-load a little more

All of you have been changing your career.
- Not really. We're still coolies

Sometimes there is stuff

We will happen to be there...
- What are you talking about?

You're back. Chou Jen Chieh

How are you? Ah Chieh, you're back!
Hey, it's Ah Chieh...

Come on! Everyone

Chou Jen Chieh is back

Ah Chieh

Did you learn a lot of martial arts?

Ah Chieh

Mr. Li, Hsiao Tsing

Hsiao Li, Mr. Chang
Hsiao Hung

Ah Chieh
You've changed to a new job. - Yeah

Where is my brother?
- He's still at home

Why is he at home?

It's my fault. I screwed up

Caused you to lose your jobs

How is business?
- We depend on the customers

They are mostly from the Dyeing Mill

Their pay is getting less and less.
They can't afford to buy anything

It's all because of those Manchurians.
- Well, we don't need to fear them anymore

You've learnt Shaolin Kung Fu.
- What are you saying?

You've learned Kung Fu in Shaolin Temple.
There is no need to be afraid of them

Yes, no more fear

I... I didn't learn martial arts

You pretended once before, even though...
you didn't know Kung Fu

Now you've really learnt Kung Fu.
- I am not lying this once

I couldn't learn martial arts at Shaolin

Why then did you spend so much time there?
Maybe working your eyes? Ears? Or head?

What did you do there?

Did you learn anything?

I was scaffolding

Hey, are you still making fun of us?
Please be serious

Right. Don't kid around

I feel bad.
I've been in Shaolin for 3 years

Yet I didn't learn anything...
Except scaffolding

Why did you come back?

If you haven't learned martial arts.
Why did you come back?

They sent me away!

Ah Chao, have you hurt yourself?

Are you all right?

What happened?
- Ah Chieh threw you over

Yes, he did it

Did he throw me over?

It is Kung Fu. He must've learnt it

That's right! He absolutely has!
It's fantastic!

But why did he deny it?

Be good! Don't cry!

Don't cry...

Brother

Brother! I'm back

You're back from Shaolin.
- Yes

Ah Fen, he is back from Shaolin.
- It's great

Ah Chieh

Brother, your hand...
- No big deal. We were waiting forever

You've learned Kung Fu from Shaolin

We've been waiting for a long time.
Finally you're back!

Right. We've been anxiously awaiting...

For you to bring justice

Dear sister-in-law.
- Wong Kao Feng and his staff

They've bullied us for so long

We must pay it back this time. Ah Fen

Teach them a lesson.
- That's right

Brother, Sister-in-law

I didn't learn anything in Shaolin

I haven't learned Kung Fu there!
- You're lying

It's true. I haven't.
- Well, you just don't want to help us

And you've learned it. I'll hit you
- I really didn't learn any martial arts

What are you doing?

Let go off me. Let me go...
Please let me go

Did you hear me? Let me go

You're mistaken. You're pulling me

Great Kung Fu

Did I hurt you? Ah Chao?
- Of course not

I'd throw up if you were really punching

What did you say? That's called Kung Fu

Yes. It is

Please listen carefully

I'll need to try some more

You come out towards me

One by one

Can you move?

Your Kung Fu is fantastic

What's wrong...?

Hurry... not so slow

This is yours.
Move on... Next...

Is this yours?
- It's only that little. They deducted again

What can we do? We need to work
- What are you saying?

Nothing.
- Go to work! Hurry up!

Chief

Move it! Faster

Is this the right color?

Get away

Damn it! You're really too much

What are you doing here? We're not hiring.
- We are here for you

We want to show you something.
- It's you!

Great eyesight

Show me then! Come on in

Open the door

You can't even open the door

Get out! Go to work

Manchurian pole-man.
- You...

Do you recognize me?

You remember me, don't ya?

You pretended to be monk San Te

I'm Chou Jen Chieh from Shaolin.
- Well, I've never heard of you

I have to show you something.
This is Chou Jen Chieh new from Shaolin

Damn it. What are you up to?
Don't move

You're screwing around again

No tricks; I closed the door myself

I'm afraid that you'll run off

Come on

How do you know Kung Fu?

This is nothing!

Watch carefully

Don't worry!
Chou Jen Chieh learnt Kung Fu

He'll avenge us

Hold it! Great move!

Chief Ma is here

Not you again...
- Excuse me

I'll show you the real thing

Using bamboo cord?

What kind of Kung Fu is that?

Scaffolding Kung Fu.
- Does that count?

Let me show you something new

A little by little

From now on...
You need to give everyone their dues

The pay that you owe them.
- Stupid

Chief Ma

Now you've seen my real Kung Fu

Please hand them back their money...

If you're wise enough

Never

Mr. Huang Kao-Feng

You were the fake monk last time

Yes. But I've been learning in Shaolin

I'm Chou Jen Chieh from Shaolin

No wonder you're so much better

I'm not here for revenge

I want you to give back the money to
all the workers for the last three years

Guess, I'll give Shaolin Kung Fu a try.
- Today I'll have the honor. I'm ready for you

Please...

Guys, the boss is in trouble today

We'll close one day. Everyone

Mr. Huang

It's more convenient to try it here

You can show
whatever you've learnt in Shaolin

Try your best

Sure, I won't feel right
if I don't get it out

Then, please

Great skill

Come up and try it yourself, Mr Wong

That's it, Mr. Wong

I will hurt you if we keep on going

Let's stop, Mr. Wong

You might get hurt or even die

The strength I used

It's like the pay cut,
40 percent less

It increased to 70 percent now

Now 80%

Boss Wong, it's 90 percent now!

All right, Chou Jen Chieh... you win

Are you sure of that?

Yes. I indeed am

Good choice, Mr. Wong

Boss seems to be very tired.
Please take him back to rest

Let's go

Please remember...

Pay all the workers their full wages

Definitely
