Rise of the Legend (2014) - full transcript
An orphan, whose father has been killed by dark power, attempts to bring justice back to the town.
Even if...
It demands my final heartbeat...
I have to make sure my opponent...
Falls!
I can't die
Because I tell myself
I am invincible
Father!
Poor kid!
Boy-
Fei! My medical box
Yes
I'm back
Eat or it'll get cold!
Yes!
I'll use acupuncture to stimulate his energy
When it flows smoothly, one lives
When it reverses, one dies
It's very important to
a martial arts practitioner...
Remember every vital point I've taught you
Yes
Father
The other boy died
Will he die too?
I'll try my best
A cold pathogen has entered his body
Plus, he's underfed
It's useless!
You can't save him!
Always remember-
Never give up, no matter how hopeless
I won't let you die
You have to get up!
You're not going to die
You can have my peanuts
Get up!
Listen-
My name is Wong Fei Hung
People call me Little Fei
I tell myself I'm invincible
Why am I so strong?
Let me tell you why
It's because I am invincible
This isn't the first corpse lost at sea
Many workers have gone missing
from Black Tiger's warehouse
This worker reported it to the magisters
And in the end, he disappeared too
This is the Guangzhou Pearl River delta area
Also known as The Silk Road
It used to be prosperous- a passage for foreign trade
But with the Qing Dynasty
trade ban and the Opium War,
any glory was lost forever
This warehouse belongs to the Black Tiger Gang
They and the North Sea Gang dominate the pier
The two gangs have fought for years
For the rights to control the pier
And monopolize the lucrative foreign trade
And more than the business from the piers-
They own the opium dens,
gambling houses, and brothels
Hurry! hurry!
Move those over here
Be careful! Be careful!
Come on, keep moving!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Get a move on!
Hurry!
Move all that stuff!
100 more workers!
Hiring!
Pay your dues and get hired
Without a penny, there's only luck
You five, go on in!
Move over here! Over here!
You! Come over
My dear...
Wake up, please wake up!
Please wake up!
This pier belongs to the Black Tiger Gang
Who dares report us to the magisters?
What's there to see? Get lost!
Go! Get lost!
The Black Tiger Gang has three bosses
This is the bloodthirsty First Tiger
Go! Get lost!
This gang- controlled pier
is the foreign traders' paradise
but a hell for the dock workers
Place your bets!
Hurry!
Place your bets!
The next one must be Big!
Show! Show! Show!
Young Master, the daredevil warriors have arrived
Banker takes all! Collect all bets!
What're you doing?
What? So what?!
This is the gold- digging Second Tiger
Master, I handpicked these girls
Send them to the Courtesan boats
Leave her to me
This is the lecherous Third Tiger
The daredevil warriors have arrived
Good
I've been in the gang for six years
Never thought I'd have a chance to meet the Master
Hey Brother!
Everyone calls me Big Tooth. What's your name?
He's got no manners
You know why we're here?
I was asked to replace him to see the Master
It's a chance for me to open my eyes
And I've decided...
to become...
the Fourth Tiger of the Black Tiger Gang
You know why the Master wants to see us?
This...
this is a promise I made to my Brother
Master, the daredevil warriors are here
They're the best junior chiefs
who've been with us for more than five years
Greetings to you, Master!
How dare you betray the
gang and burn our slave boats
Tell us the names of your conspirators
Perhaps the Master will spare your life!
No way!
I'd never betray my buddies!
You kidnapped and sold us
to foreigners as slaves
It's a disgrace!
We're not paid to be
treated like cheap goods
We're flesh and blood,
with wives and families, not some...
There's a price to be a hero
Why didn't you duck?
Because I'm not afraid
Why aren't you afraid?
I'm just not
Tea!
Drink up!
Whoever brings me
the head of the North Sea Gang's Master
will be doing the Gang a great service
Whoever achieves this, I'll break the gang rule
and take him as my fourth adopted son!
We swear to bring back the head
of the North Sea Gang's Master!
North Sea Gang Master
If I don't kill you today-
I'm not leaving here alive, either!
Father!
Move!
Move away!
Move!
Master!
Father!
Father!
He's my adopted son!
I don't want him dead! I want him alive!
Yes! Father!
We'll get the best doctors to care for him
None of you can
bring me this Master's head?
Either you're taking it too easy,
or spending too much time on fighting each other!
You've lost the killer instinct he has!
- Yes!
- Master is right!
Congratulations on adopting another son!
Congratulations on taking another adopted son!
Hang his severed head in the arch
Let everybody know
who runs the pier now!
Yes!
You can't die! Not like this
Getting this position wasn't easy for you
These wounds would be been for nothing
I'm lucky
After all, I can have a decent meal
You have to get well, no matter what!
Yeah...
You waited for me?
You saved me once too, remember?
Last month at the theatre. On the 9th.
You forgot?
You're mistaken
No way!
You're so ugly. I wouldn't have forgotten
And anyway, we're buddies now!
I've always wanted to be a tough guy
backing up a tough guy
My father used to be a great boxer
His Eight Trigram Pole was formidable
But he got addicted to opium
and sold my siblings
Enough of him! Let me tell you my story...
I'm actually a good man
I wasn't like this seven years ago...
Hey, Wake up!
If you don't want me to die...
Shut up!
Rest. Don't talk so much
Once I master this, I'll teach Little Fiery
I don't want to learn
Play it again
Brother Fei!
Little Fa is in trouble
The villainous Master Li has to take her away
Let's go!
Go!
Move! Move!
Let go of her!
Please don't take my daughter! I'm begging you!
- Mom!
- Please, let her go!
Move!
I'll kill you!
That's the head of the North Sea Gang, Master!
No
Don't
Father, forgive me
I wasn't a loyal son
Young Master-
I swear
to avenge your death!
My father's been killed by the Black Tiger Gang
And you hand over all
your ships' business to them?
The North Sea Gang hasn't had problems before...
Even the opium dens followed your rules
What is the meaning of this?
Where's your respect for
the principles of the underworld?
I don't know the rules of your underworld
Or the struggle between
you and the Black Tiger Gang
We don't care
Whoever has the leverage here,
the foreign traders will do business with them
All right!
You'll see!
Young Master-
You've been burned?
When I was young...
Scars are forever!
It must be a sign from God-
This scar looks just like a tiger!
You're now the gang's adopted son
At the level of North Evil, Black Crow, and Old Snake
To help Master take care of business at the pier
The opium den, gambling parlor, Courtesan boat...
And the money vault...
Money from the businesses is kept in a vault?
You need two keys to open it:
one's Silver, the other's Gold.
Master Lei owns a set
The other is held by the two sons
with the highest- earning businesses
Which two are the best now?
Of course there's Black Crow,
who handles the gambling parlors
And the crafty Old Snake!
Both must be present to gain access to the vault
to monitor each other and share responsibility
no one else has the key
It's useless, even if you knew the location
Little Fa has been taken by Villain Li
Father! I beg you, please kill him
There're more than one villain in this world
Dad! Kill him!
Where is she?
I already sold her,
there's no point in beating me over it!
Come on board and relax, Master!
Hey, Master! Our girls will sing and dance for you
Thank you, Fourth Young Master!
My family will have fish porridge tonight!
In honor of the ancestors of the Lei family,
from this day on,
I hereby declare Fei as
my fourth adopted son!
Father, please take this tea
Congratulations Master Lei
on your four distinguished sons!
Today Master Lei celebrates
the adoption of his fourth son
We've waited long enough
Come!
We, the Orphan Gang
Shall stand against the Black Tiger Gang
And pay respect to all the lost souls at the pier!
Brothers! Drink up!
Drink up!
Yes!
If you want to command respect-
They have to fear you
If someone dares defy you,
you're no longer a threat
Eliminate the North Sea Gang once and for all
And let the people know who's in charge
This year the Black Tiger Gang
ruthlessly pursued its enemies,
while the son of the North Sea Gang
avenges his father's death
And as I had predicted,
the Black Tiger Gang finally took over the pier
And I
truly became another
vicious Tiger under Master Lei
Go! Get lost!
Fei
Father!
Little Fa!
You've cried out the name Little Fa thrice tonight
Bad dream again?
Maybe Little Fa has drifted into prostitution
How about this
You can call me Fa if you like
Perhaps it can ease your longing
No
Sorry, no offense
I understand, don't be so serious
I know, you despise me for being a prostitute
My hands are filled with blood,
I'm not pure as well
It's fine as long as the heart remains pure
My father, a brilliant doctor
and a master at Tiger- Crane double fist,
started the medical hall
to save the lives of those in need
Yet in the end, he lost to the might of a torch
Save us!
Quick, get out!
Fei, take them away from here first
- Father!
- Teacher!
Have you seen Little Fiery?
No
Fiery! Fiery!
Little Fiery!
Leave me! Go before it's too late!
We'll be brothers again in our next life!
I don't care about the next life!
Your life is my life now!
Go!
Father!
Teacher! Teacher!
This way, please...
Young Fourth Master is here
Young Fourth Master!
Please-
Come, let's toast to him!
Yes!
Fourth Master, please-
Sit!
Why does Brother North Evil carry a cane
like an old man?
He's talking about me
You think that's funny?
Allow me to toast our little brother
Sure, no problem
Here-
A toast to him?
A lesson from me!
What's wrong? I thought you were a good fighter
The so- called Shadowless Fist!
Why not show us?
Shadowless Fist is impossible to detect
I dare not disrespect big brother
Big brother?
He's just older. He'll die sooner
Come on!
You sent someone to kill
my men at the gambling parlor last month
You think I didn't know it was you?!
They deserve to die!
So what?
Who wants to fight?
Master-
You want to fight?
Then get rid of the North Sea Gang!
Here's the porridge
I have two fish here!
Give me your hand
Why?
I bought it some time ago...
but wanted to give it to you at the right moment,
and I never know when's a good time
When I bought it,
the shopkeeper asked me
if I was getting it for my future wife...
I've gotta check the porridge
Should I play a tune?
Yes
I found a great job recently
The foreigners refuse
opium addicts for overseas labor
So I'll be a stand- in,
giving my thumbprint for the medical check
I pass the test, they put the addicts back,
and everyone ships out
Look at this-
I got a silver ingot just for doing that!
I can recommend you guys. Wanna go?
- Wanna go?
- Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
They say you're the most powerful man in Guangzhou
What do you mean?
We need 300 strong Chinese laborers next month
So far, you've only sent 130. How come?
You think getting 130 is easy?
Did everyone forget that
boat incident two months ago!
400 workers burned to death!
It's a scandal, and the whole town knows
Who's gonna want to sign up for overseas work now?
It'll take time,even if I kidnap all 300 workers
We don't have to give you this business, you know.
If you can't deliver,
there are many others who can
I can deliver.
Just give me two weeks
They asked me to kidnap 300 strong workers
Just for five lousy ships' business!
The foreigners are indeed ravenous
They're signing up to work overseas
no need to use the pier workers
Seems like my son...
He's got a kind heart
It's not kindness...
but righteousness
And let me tell you what righteousness is-
Be good to those who treat you well
This is righteousness
You and me? Neither of us
are in a position to speak of it
We have to work with the morals of our time
I believe a real hero leads the way,
not just follows along
I remember saying similar
naive things when I was young
You've gotta be ruthless to run this turf
Humans are no difference
from ants- you'll see this in time.
Have you found the old man's son?
He's hidden himself well
From now on, send fewer bodyguards to protect me
I'm sure it'll lure him out
Yes
We have steamed buns for everyone, come have some
Get up and have a steamed bun!
Wake up!
A customer asked me
to narrate two new stories:
"Liu Bang Slaying the Snake,"
and "Wu Song Beating the Tiger"
How Liu finally defeated
the Chu warlord and unified the country
Most importantly...
Fiery, we may not survive the vengeance
Let's be brothers again in the next life!
Ah!
How can I take my revenge now?
Get up, Villain Li! I want my revenge!
You two come with me!
No, these villains were
killed by another gang of villains
I don't want to go with you- I want my revenge!
Come with me!
Ah!
You wanna leave? There's two options:
Answer my questions- correctly-
or learn martial arts well enough to defeat me
What's the question?
What is Vengeance?
For punishing your enemies!
Wrong!
What is Vengeance?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Wrong!
To get rid of fear,
you must forge ahead into the darkest corner!
What is Vengeance?
To be more vicious than
the most ferocious person out there
Seek out our enemies, and take revenge on them
Wrong!
No matter how we answer, it's always wrong!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! All Wrong!
What are we wrong about?
"I, I, I!"
You're wrong to mention "I"
Look into the fire, what do you see?
I see hell!
I see rage!
What I see...
is graciousness and sacrifice!
Your father sacrificed
himself for the sake of others
It's easy to kill. Far harder to save.
Your father told me once,
I teach you martial arts to save people!
Remember, no matter how tough things are
Never give up saving another life!
True Vengeance...
is to save lives!
To save people from the flames of hell!
You two can leave whenever you want
Clothes mending!
Need anything mended?
Miss, are you skillful?
I'm very skillful with collars
Thank you, Miss!
Go ahead
Old Snake...
He has the Gold key.
Old Snake is here
Go away, get out of here!
Go away, get out of here!
Go away, get out of here!
After him!
Stop there!
You there!
You there!
You there!
- After her!
- You there!
You there!
Be quick!
You there!
You there!
You there!
A pretty young girl like you?
How dare you mess with me!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Old Snake?
You don't deserve to be a Snake! Not even a worm!
Ah!
Who are you?
Ah!
I'm me. We're are the Orphan Gang
Stinks!
Who kicked him in there?
This must be the Gold key for the vault
Put the key back!
I heard it's a group called the Orphan Gang
Stinks!
Evil has its retribution?
Whoever wrote this must be out of his mind!
Master, luckily the key is not lost
You'll keep the Gold key
From now on, you and Black Crow
will be responsible for the money vault
Thank you, Father!
Thank me?
Am I giving you the money vault?
No, thank you for trusting me
I don't deserve this honor
Perhaps this key...
should be kept by Fei or Black Crow
I'm not good at keeping things
I only know how to fight
You don't want to control the vault?
Maybe you'd rather control me?
Those who don't seek small
profits carry a bigger ambition
What is your big ambition?
I only want...
what you want
You've got nerve!
Daring to smile when you should be scared
Just like me!
Catching a fish requires patience
For you!
Open it! Open it!
Open it! Open it!
Triple four!
Pay up! Pay up!
- Great!
- What luck! Let's go!
Great!
Luck is on my side! Nothing can stop me
All in!
Three three one! Seven points. Small
Lemme borrow 50 silver ingots
You're the new Fourth Young Master
No problem! Bring 50 ingots
to the new Fourth Young Master!
Place your bets! Place your bets!
Triple Six
Hey, big bro!
Five Five Six. Sixteen points. Big.
Darn, just off by a little!
You must be having
problems with the silver ingots!
Lend me another 50 silver ingots!
Brother, brother, no!
All in!
Triple One! Banker takes all!
Another 50 silver ingots!
Six Six Two. Fourteen points. Big.
Another 50 silver ingots!
Three three one! Seven points. Small.
Another 50 silver ingots!
Another 50 silver ingots!
Fourth Young Master, it's against the rules
You're putting me in a difficult situation
I want another 50!
Hurry up and bring it out!
Bring it out!
What's all this fuss!
I want 50 silver ingots!
How dare you!
Take this 50 ingots as a welcome gift
Big brother-
I want 3000 silver ingots
Are you kidding me?
I mean, I want 3000 as a gift, not a loan
You looking for trouble? You better stop it
With these debts,
I have reason to kill you,
and Father can't blame me.
How much do you think this's worth?
How did you get this Gold key?
From Old Snake, of course
Someone tried to make a mold
and I caught him red- handed
Who?
North Evil's minions
North Evil? He wants the money vault?
So you're hereto make a business deal
You should give this to Father,
but you brought it here instead
You're betraying the gang
It takes the Gold
and Silver keys to open the money vault
I don't have the Silver key
or know where the vault is
This key means nothing to me.
It's hardly some deadly crime
Since it's useless here,
I'll give it back to Father
Looks like you're not
leaving without a win tonight
That depends on the dealer
Come to think of it,
3000 silver ingots is far too cheap
If I have to choose between you or
North Evil to benefit from this
I'd rather it be you
North Evil knows you have this?
Of course not!
I already killed that minion
He'd never imagine
the Gold key's with you now
Since North Evil has his
heart set on getting the vault,
he might have killed Old Snake
If that's the case, you'll be his next target!
Perhaps you've already been stabbed in the back
I have to try this key first
If anything goes wrong,
you won't get away with this
Big Brother, you're playing it safe?
Showing me the vault to get me involved
Master Liu asked us to come
Finally caught the big fish
Fourth Master, your fish!
It's for you!
Fourth Master!
Here's a peanut for you!
It's a map!
Miss, your dress has been mended
Men are so impatient,
always tearing off my collar
Fortunately, you're a good seamstress
My mending skills are good. Take a look
Tomorrow
How come she won't turn to look at you this time?
You like Chun, why don't you tell her?
If it'll hurt Fiery...
I'd rather give up Chun
But Chun likes you
How do you know?
When I told her
my collar was torn by you
All right, next time I'll tell her
you just hide here
Up to you
Since you three are good friends,
why can't you be frank about it?
Let Chun choose whoever she likes
Maybe three of you can stay together forever
You like to joke
I envy her
If I was her,
I'd seize
Not for the man
But for the heart
Master, this way!
Master, this way!
Master, this way!
Where are the workman chiefs?
Follow me!
You are a collector of weapons
They are not mine
They belong to my enemies
They're my most loyal friends
Accompany me in every battle
They will never betray me
Do you know what I'm
thinking of when seated?
Your business?
I'm thinking who else wants to kill me?
No need to be paranoid!
The entire Guangzhou Pier is your turf now
Old Snake's death tells me...
Someone's conspiring against me
Know why I bring you here today and you alone?
I want you to feel the joy of uprooting a problem
Lei!
If my father didn't help you
build this turf at the pier,
you wouldn't have anything today
And you
No need to lure me out
I will definitely come for you
Can you manage?
Yes I can!
He can't
No you can't
- Father!
- Careful!
Do it!
I don't want to kill you
If you're not dead,
what's there to live for?
Don't hesitate, show no mercy!
I didn't kill him, you did
Everyone! Get out!
Get up!
Everyone get out!
Get out!
Get up!
Help! Help!
Stay there!
Be quick! Round him up from the front!
That's the arsonist!
Be quick! Round him up!
- Stay there!
- Be quick! Round him up!
Don't run!
Good- for- nothing!
Get him!
Stay there! Get him!
Get him! Stay there!
Over there!
And here!
Master, the opium dens are on fire!
Father, I'll go check!
Stay there!
That way!
Brother Black Crow!
Brother Fei
Where's the girl?
It's a trap! You're with them!
You're not stupid, just greedy
Do you remember my parents?
Ma Yin Shun and Tsui Lai Leung
from the Guang Yuen Escort Service?
They were just ordinary armed escorts
They refused to join your gang and you killed them
I, Ma Chun Yuk, swear to avenge their death today!
Giving me the Gold key was your first step
Getting my Silver key is the second,
and there's the third-
It's been four years...
and we've never been
able to say a word to one another
I see you when I pass the Courtesan boat
It's only a glimpse, as you cross the bridge
No one would notice
Last time...
Why didn't you look at me?
I don't want to see you two together
It's my fault
But you keep tearing off her collar...
And it takes a lot of work to mend it
A gift from Fiery
When it's over, I'll tell him about you and me.
I've waited so long to hear you say this
Trust me
Just one more move
We're almost there
Stay alive- you promise me!
He refuses to talk
Come-
Beat him up!
Make him give up his accomplices!
No need for that
My brothers are awfully busy right now
The money vault!
You stay here!
There's money to be distributed at TongRen Lane!
Money will be given to the poor for free!
Master-
While we put out the fires at the opium dens,
the poor raided the money vault
Where're the guards?
They're all dead
Fetch Black Crow and North Evil now!
You'll be all right
- Listen
- I'm here
Let's fight our way out!
I won't leave!
Tell Chun...
I love her very much
You tell her yourself
Let's go!
I don't have a chance
I've always wanted to take her from you...
but now- she'd be better off in your hands
I don't want you to do that
Let's fight our way out!
What's wrong with you!
Listen!
You can't give up our dream just to save me
Burn down the opium dens,
open the money vault, right?
If this sacrifice
saves 300 innocent workers
There're plenty of fathers out there
Save them, so their kids
won't turn into orphans like me
This is everything we've worked for, isn't it?
I can't watch you die and just do nothing
I can't do it!
Don't forget the mountain. What we promised.
Don't make me die with regrets!
How can I forget?
I didn't forget!
But don't make me live in
guilt for the rest of my life
Without you, our dream...
You picked the hell divination stick
Stay...
Fulfill our dreams
You once said-
my life is your life, remember?
Today I'll repay You
From now on-
My dream is your dream!
With one shared life,
I won't have regrets
What a pity- no more peanuts
Get lost!
I won't say a word!
You know how many people
died for those silver ingots?
What are you people doing?
It's for our dream!
To bring down a man like you!
There must be a mole in my gang
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to open the vault
Bring me scissors!
Kill me! Go ahead!
Fei-
Cut his tongue out!
Why must you take it this far?
Why must you take it this far!
Do it!
Kill me!
Cut!
Master!
Master! Black Crow has been killed
Check the Silver key on him!
Ahhh...
Hmm.
Father-
There's no key!
But strange... Black Crow's body...
a wound so similar...
What're you implying?
Father, Black Crow and
I had our differences,
but I can't kill him
We didn't even have a chance to fight
I've been framed
This is a setup!
This person killed my two
sons and raided my money vault
He must have wanted to
wipe out the Black Tiger Gang
So that he could replace me and reap the benefits
Father-
I've been in this gang for 13 years
I've never done anything wrong
I didn't say it was you!
Father, please- wait a second
Tell me who killed Black Crow
Which among us is your guy?
If you refuse to speak,
I'll make you beg for mercy
Speak!
I'll say!
I'll say!
That's more like it
What?
Louder!
Tell me!
Say it properly!
I've made an oath with my brother
Don't cry for me!
Father
I didn't kill him
What did he say to you?
He set me up!
He sacrificed his life to set you up?
How unfair to you!
Now it's a challenge?
That's what I love!
Hang him on the arch
Come on Brother, let's go!
The only way to save people from hell
is by going there yourself
Brother
One of us has to step into this hell
in order to rip them from the inside
Draw one!
The long one is the hell divination stick
I'm so afraid you'll snatch
the hell divination stick
If I die...
promise you won't avenge my death
The one left behind must accomplish our dream
This is...
our promise!
Even if we get rid of this gang,
another one will take over
It'll never end
In five years,
I'll be the most feared person here,
conquering all the bad guys
I'll unite all the orphans,
and together we'll take them down
Why am I here?
Last night you came back and said Fiery had died
Fiery died
And you passed out
You even cried in your sleep
He was my best friend
He died in front of me
and I couldn't save him
I don't know if all this is worth it anymore
You guys did something we never would have dared
Do you know...
When the poor got those
silver ingots, they cried?
Everyone was happy
Watching those opium dens burn...
It gave them hope
You always told them to stand up and fight, right?
Fiery is dead
Fiery is gone
Fiery is gone
Fiery is gone
I'll never be able to get out of this hell
Look at me
Other people can, because of you
It's useless
Until now-
I couldn't figure out
where they hid the 300 missing workers
300!
It's North Evil's business
Lei didn't let me get involved
North Evil
is starting to suspect me
I have to move fast
If I'm going to rescue them in time
Why not just find a way to kill Lei?
No
If we do...
North Evil would be the new Master of the gang
The pier will still be held by villains,
just a different leader
You've got to deal with two villains
I wish I could help you like Chun does
Fourth Master, someone's here for you
Fiery!
This was a brilliant man
His name was Zhuge Liang
Also known as Kongming, the "Sleeping Dragon"
He knows astronomy and geography...
He's well- respected by everyone
Understands Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams...
I want to hear the historical story,
"Ambush on All Sides"
And "Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar"
Father! Master!
Why are you so late?
Brother-
Where were you last night?
I found Young Master at the Courtesan boat
The Courtesan boat?
How can you be in the mood?
A great show's about to begin
We've got the place surrounded
If they make a move,
we'll wipe them out
...lining up, just as Kongming told them to
And as the auspicious hour approached,
Kongming fasted and bathed
Put on a Taoist robe, and went to the altar
What happened then?
Now, the story of the fight
between Chor and Han in the Warring Period
"Ambush on All Sides" and
"Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar"
Why not the Story of Three Kingdoms?
Who dares to tip them off?
The mole is here!
No one's allowed to leave
I've been here all
morning and haven't stepped away
Definitely has nothing to do with me
No one said it's you.
Don't try to blame it on others
Bring me the Storyteller!
May I ask who this Master is?
Tell me, who asked you
to tell these two stories?
Yes...
Indeed, a man paid me earlier
and asked to hear these stories
But I'm blind,
so couldn't tell you what he looks like.
How about his voice? Could you recognize it?
The blind have the best ears
Each of you come up and say the words into his ear
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Including you two!
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
We opened the money vault and burnt the opium dens
Through which door did you two come in?
Because we're late,
we came in through the back door
Without crossing the market?
No!
Fourth Young Master
Master has to deliver some cargo
to the leprosarium for the foreigners
Your service is required this time
Sure
Master will personally deliver? What cargo?
Medicines for the leprosarium
North Evil used to be responsible,
but this time- Master has to do it
But then...
Please don't ask me anything more
How is it?
I've ordered all the bathhouse customers to leave
You guys stand guard
Don't even let a fly get in
Why does a Courtesan boat girl come here?
I've come to see Master North Evil
I am Orchid, from the Capital Courtesan Boat
I have information for him. About the money vault
A Capital Courtesan boat girl is here to see you
Capital Courtesan boat? The one Fei frequents?
You're Fei's woman. What do you want from me?
I won't believe a word you say
My words will kill him
Why wouldn't you believe me?
You're just some woman
With no family
Why betray him?
Sooner or later, he'll be exposed
I'd better find a more stable sugar daddy
I heard he only visits your boat
He must treat you very well
We've known each other since we were young
My nickname was Little Fa
We used to be very close
But later we were separated
We met again three years ago at the Courtesan boat
I saved him once-
So he trusts me
That's how I know his secrets
Don't play games with me
What secrets do you know?
I know he killed Black Crow-
how's that for a start?
I knew it was him!
It was his idea to open the money vault
He stays in the gang
so he can find the 300 missing workers...
And I love him.
I was going to stay with him forever
But then I learned...
I'm not the one he loves
My heart is broken
I have to find a way to protect myself.
Tell me
What kind of reward do you want?
Master North Evil...
I want you.
My body is... Feeble.
I'm frail, and can't walk steadily...
Without a big rock like you,
I won't be able to survive
Will you take me in?
We're hereto deliver the medicine
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!
I said shut up!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
You want to kill me?
Kill you!
You want to kill me?
It's not so easy to kill someone
You know why I'm still alive today?
I have eyes all over my body
We'll deliver them to the
boat on the 15th of next month
A feeble woman like that-
she wants to kill me?
This little brother is really naive
To incur a double loss
Nowhere to hide
You can't go through that wall!
This is for the people you've killed!
How can I let you sacrifice yourself?
Why get involved in this?
I'm a prostitute. This is the only way
to get close to North Evil
If I can use my body to kill this monster,
that's redemption enough.
Besides...
If I do this, I can have Fei's heart forever
I've always envied you. I've been jealous, even
You can do whatever you think is right
But through my whole life, I've never had a choice
Promise me-
No matter how bad the situation gets
Don't come near me
I can't bear to see you in danger
North Evil is very cunning
If I don't succeed, you still could
As long as we achieve our goal,
the sacrifice doesn't matter
She is Little Fa
Why tell me in such a way?
Why would you tell me in such a way?
I know why...
She wants to be in your heart forever
We still have to accomplish what we have to do
Now we know where the kidnapped workers are
Spread the news about the leprosarium quickly
It's time to start a revolution
You once asked me who's in my heart
Now I know
Fei!
Help me put this on for Fiery
Let's remember his righteousness!
Brother-
It's time for us to fight back
I,
Wong Fei Hung,
will never forget our dream
I hereby swear-
I will unify the people,
Rise up against all opposition,
And stand up against all evil
Unity! Dignity!
300 workers held at the leprosarium
Take a look! Take a look!
300 workers illegally held
300 workers illegally held
Take a look!
Let them go!
Stand back-
Whoever can bring me Fei's head
Will be my sole adopted son!
Where are they?
Tell me! Tell me!
Go!
Wait-
Where are they?
I let them go
You idiot! What are you talking about?
You're wrong!
I'm a martial arts practitioner!
Get him!
Master,
the foreigners at the
leprosarium have withdrawn suddenly
Hurry!
Ask our men at the leprosarium to withdraw, too
I want to set them free, as well!
Please, someone save us!
We want revenge! Fight the Black Tiger Gang!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
We have no fear of pain or death
We won't back down
We want to even the score
We won't back off! We won't back off!
Quiet please!
Master Lei-
We have 500 men here
If we all fight, it'll be a massacre
What if...
we had a duel? Just you and me?
I'll challenge you to the death!
You betray me for the sake of these workers-
Will they treat you as well as I have?
I know I owe you righteousness
I can only repay it in my next life
But you owe them justice!
That payment is due today!
Bullshit!
Let me make it crystal clear...
Who...
the Master is around here!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
People!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
If I die,
none of you should take action on my behalf
Think of your families
They're waiting for you at home
Fei-
Can you win?
If both sides fight,
many will die
It's better that I die
Than to have the whole place covered in blood
Promise me-
If I fall,
you have to make them go home
Let him in
Close the door!
You want to burn me to death?
We die together?
Not exactly
I want to burn this place down
and revive this pier
How naive!
Go ahead-
I'll show you true darkness
Hurry! Hurry! Over here! Over here!
Give me the bucket!
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry! Pass it over!
Hurry!
Hurry! Pass it over! Quick!
Put out the fire!
Hurry! Hurry! Over here!
Over here! Over here!
Quick! Over there!
Getting warm?
I'll be fine
You set the fire! Come on!
Run! Run!
The warehouse is gone. They can't get out now
Let's get out of here
Run!
Hot?
Hot!
I don't need you to save me
You don't deserve it
Don't pretend you care
Do you think killing me
will make this world a better place?
You're so naive!
Lei-
You think it's that easy to be a hero?
There'll always be another villain in the shadows
Soon enough, you'll be just like me
That is your destiny
Father
I'd like to borrow your umbrella
It demands my final heartbeat...
I have to make sure my opponent...
Falls!
I can't die
Because I tell myself
I am invincible
Father!
Poor kid!
Boy-
Fei! My medical box
Yes
I'm back
Eat or it'll get cold!
Yes!
I'll use acupuncture to stimulate his energy
When it flows smoothly, one lives
When it reverses, one dies
It's very important to
a martial arts practitioner...
Remember every vital point I've taught you
Yes
Father
The other boy died
Will he die too?
I'll try my best
A cold pathogen has entered his body
Plus, he's underfed
It's useless!
You can't save him!
Always remember-
Never give up, no matter how hopeless
I won't let you die
You have to get up!
You're not going to die
You can have my peanuts
Get up!
Listen-
My name is Wong Fei Hung
People call me Little Fei
I tell myself I'm invincible
Why am I so strong?
Let me tell you why
It's because I am invincible
This isn't the first corpse lost at sea
Many workers have gone missing
from Black Tiger's warehouse
This worker reported it to the magisters
And in the end, he disappeared too
This is the Guangzhou Pearl River delta area
Also known as The Silk Road
It used to be prosperous- a passage for foreign trade
But with the Qing Dynasty
trade ban and the Opium War,
any glory was lost forever
This warehouse belongs to the Black Tiger Gang
They and the North Sea Gang dominate the pier
The two gangs have fought for years
For the rights to control the pier
And monopolize the lucrative foreign trade
And more than the business from the piers-
They own the opium dens,
gambling houses, and brothels
Hurry! hurry!
Move those over here
Be careful! Be careful!
Come on, keep moving!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Get a move on!
Hurry!
Move all that stuff!
100 more workers!
Hiring!
Pay your dues and get hired
Without a penny, there's only luck
You five, go on in!
Move over here! Over here!
You! Come over
My dear...
Wake up, please wake up!
Please wake up!
This pier belongs to the Black Tiger Gang
Who dares report us to the magisters?
What's there to see? Get lost!
Go! Get lost!
The Black Tiger Gang has three bosses
This is the bloodthirsty First Tiger
Go! Get lost!
This gang- controlled pier
is the foreign traders' paradise
but a hell for the dock workers
Place your bets!
Hurry!
Place your bets!
The next one must be Big!
Show! Show! Show!
Young Master, the daredevil warriors have arrived
Banker takes all! Collect all bets!
What're you doing?
What? So what?!
This is the gold- digging Second Tiger
Master, I handpicked these girls
Send them to the Courtesan boats
Leave her to me
This is the lecherous Third Tiger
The daredevil warriors have arrived
Good
I've been in the gang for six years
Never thought I'd have a chance to meet the Master
Hey Brother!
Everyone calls me Big Tooth. What's your name?
He's got no manners
You know why we're here?
I was asked to replace him to see the Master
It's a chance for me to open my eyes
And I've decided...
to become...
the Fourth Tiger of the Black Tiger Gang
You know why the Master wants to see us?
This...
this is a promise I made to my Brother
Master, the daredevil warriors are here
They're the best junior chiefs
who've been with us for more than five years
Greetings to you, Master!
How dare you betray the
gang and burn our slave boats
Tell us the names of your conspirators
Perhaps the Master will spare your life!
No way!
I'd never betray my buddies!
You kidnapped and sold us
to foreigners as slaves
It's a disgrace!
We're not paid to be
treated like cheap goods
We're flesh and blood,
with wives and families, not some...
There's a price to be a hero
Why didn't you duck?
Because I'm not afraid
Why aren't you afraid?
I'm just not
Tea!
Drink up!
Whoever brings me
the head of the North Sea Gang's Master
will be doing the Gang a great service
Whoever achieves this, I'll break the gang rule
and take him as my fourth adopted son!
We swear to bring back the head
of the North Sea Gang's Master!
North Sea Gang Master
If I don't kill you today-
I'm not leaving here alive, either!
Father!
Move!
Move away!
Move!
Master!
Father!
Father!
He's my adopted son!
I don't want him dead! I want him alive!
Yes! Father!
We'll get the best doctors to care for him
None of you can
bring me this Master's head?
Either you're taking it too easy,
or spending too much time on fighting each other!
You've lost the killer instinct he has!
- Yes!
- Master is right!
Congratulations on adopting another son!
Congratulations on taking another adopted son!
Hang his severed head in the arch
Let everybody know
who runs the pier now!
Yes!
You can't die! Not like this
Getting this position wasn't easy for you
These wounds would be been for nothing
I'm lucky
After all, I can have a decent meal
You have to get well, no matter what!
Yeah...
You waited for me?
You saved me once too, remember?
Last month at the theatre. On the 9th.
You forgot?
You're mistaken
No way!
You're so ugly. I wouldn't have forgotten
And anyway, we're buddies now!
I've always wanted to be a tough guy
backing up a tough guy
My father used to be a great boxer
His Eight Trigram Pole was formidable
But he got addicted to opium
and sold my siblings
Enough of him! Let me tell you my story...
I'm actually a good man
I wasn't like this seven years ago...
Hey, Wake up!
If you don't want me to die...
Shut up!
Rest. Don't talk so much
Once I master this, I'll teach Little Fiery
I don't want to learn
Play it again
Brother Fei!
Little Fa is in trouble
The villainous Master Li has to take her away
Let's go!
Go!
Move! Move!
Let go of her!
Please don't take my daughter! I'm begging you!
- Mom!
- Please, let her go!
Move!
I'll kill you!
That's the head of the North Sea Gang, Master!
No
Don't
Father, forgive me
I wasn't a loyal son
Young Master-
I swear
to avenge your death!
My father's been killed by the Black Tiger Gang
And you hand over all
your ships' business to them?
The North Sea Gang hasn't had problems before...
Even the opium dens followed your rules
What is the meaning of this?
Where's your respect for
the principles of the underworld?
I don't know the rules of your underworld
Or the struggle between
you and the Black Tiger Gang
We don't care
Whoever has the leverage here,
the foreign traders will do business with them
All right!
You'll see!
Young Master-
You've been burned?
When I was young...
Scars are forever!
It must be a sign from God-
This scar looks just like a tiger!
You're now the gang's adopted son
At the level of North Evil, Black Crow, and Old Snake
To help Master take care of business at the pier
The opium den, gambling parlor, Courtesan boat...
And the money vault...
Money from the businesses is kept in a vault?
You need two keys to open it:
one's Silver, the other's Gold.
Master Lei owns a set
The other is held by the two sons
with the highest- earning businesses
Which two are the best now?
Of course there's Black Crow,
who handles the gambling parlors
And the crafty Old Snake!
Both must be present to gain access to the vault
to monitor each other and share responsibility
no one else has the key
It's useless, even if you knew the location
Little Fa has been taken by Villain Li
Father! I beg you, please kill him
There're more than one villain in this world
Dad! Kill him!
Where is she?
I already sold her,
there's no point in beating me over it!
Come on board and relax, Master!
Hey, Master! Our girls will sing and dance for you
Thank you, Fourth Young Master!
My family will have fish porridge tonight!
In honor of the ancestors of the Lei family,
from this day on,
I hereby declare Fei as
my fourth adopted son!
Father, please take this tea
Congratulations Master Lei
on your four distinguished sons!
Today Master Lei celebrates
the adoption of his fourth son
We've waited long enough
Come!
We, the Orphan Gang
Shall stand against the Black Tiger Gang
And pay respect to all the lost souls at the pier!
Brothers! Drink up!
Drink up!
Yes!
If you want to command respect-
They have to fear you
If someone dares defy you,
you're no longer a threat
Eliminate the North Sea Gang once and for all
And let the people know who's in charge
This year the Black Tiger Gang
ruthlessly pursued its enemies,
while the son of the North Sea Gang
avenges his father's death
And as I had predicted,
the Black Tiger Gang finally took over the pier
And I
truly became another
vicious Tiger under Master Lei
Go! Get lost!
Fei
Father!
Little Fa!
You've cried out the name Little Fa thrice tonight
Bad dream again?
Maybe Little Fa has drifted into prostitution
How about this
You can call me Fa if you like
Perhaps it can ease your longing
No
Sorry, no offense
I understand, don't be so serious
I know, you despise me for being a prostitute
My hands are filled with blood,
I'm not pure as well
It's fine as long as the heart remains pure
My father, a brilliant doctor
and a master at Tiger- Crane double fist,
started the medical hall
to save the lives of those in need
Yet in the end, he lost to the might of a torch
Save us!
Quick, get out!
Fei, take them away from here first
- Father!
- Teacher!
Have you seen Little Fiery?
No
Fiery! Fiery!
Little Fiery!
Leave me! Go before it's too late!
We'll be brothers again in our next life!
I don't care about the next life!
Your life is my life now!
Go!
Father!
Teacher! Teacher!
This way, please...
Young Fourth Master is here
Young Fourth Master!
Please-
Come, let's toast to him!
Yes!
Fourth Master, please-
Sit!
Why does Brother North Evil carry a cane
like an old man?
He's talking about me
You think that's funny?
Allow me to toast our little brother
Sure, no problem
Here-
A toast to him?
A lesson from me!
What's wrong? I thought you were a good fighter
The so- called Shadowless Fist!
Why not show us?
Shadowless Fist is impossible to detect
I dare not disrespect big brother
Big brother?
He's just older. He'll die sooner
Come on!
You sent someone to kill
my men at the gambling parlor last month
You think I didn't know it was you?!
They deserve to die!
So what?
Who wants to fight?
Master-
You want to fight?
Then get rid of the North Sea Gang!
Here's the porridge
I have two fish here!
Give me your hand
Why?
I bought it some time ago...
but wanted to give it to you at the right moment,
and I never know when's a good time
When I bought it,
the shopkeeper asked me
if I was getting it for my future wife...
I've gotta check the porridge
Should I play a tune?
Yes
I found a great job recently
The foreigners refuse
opium addicts for overseas labor
So I'll be a stand- in,
giving my thumbprint for the medical check
I pass the test, they put the addicts back,
and everyone ships out
Look at this-
I got a silver ingot just for doing that!
I can recommend you guys. Wanna go?
- Wanna go?
- Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
They say you're the most powerful man in Guangzhou
What do you mean?
We need 300 strong Chinese laborers next month
So far, you've only sent 130. How come?
You think getting 130 is easy?
Did everyone forget that
boat incident two months ago!
400 workers burned to death!
It's a scandal, and the whole town knows
Who's gonna want to sign up for overseas work now?
It'll take time,even if I kidnap all 300 workers
We don't have to give you this business, you know.
If you can't deliver,
there are many others who can
I can deliver.
Just give me two weeks
They asked me to kidnap 300 strong workers
Just for five lousy ships' business!
The foreigners are indeed ravenous
They're signing up to work overseas
no need to use the pier workers
Seems like my son...
He's got a kind heart
It's not kindness...
but righteousness
And let me tell you what righteousness is-
Be good to those who treat you well
This is righteousness
You and me? Neither of us
are in a position to speak of it
We have to work with the morals of our time
I believe a real hero leads the way,
not just follows along
I remember saying similar
naive things when I was young
You've gotta be ruthless to run this turf
Humans are no difference
from ants- you'll see this in time.
Have you found the old man's son?
He's hidden himself well
From now on, send fewer bodyguards to protect me
I'm sure it'll lure him out
Yes
We have steamed buns for everyone, come have some
Get up and have a steamed bun!
Wake up!
A customer asked me
to narrate two new stories:
"Liu Bang Slaying the Snake,"
and "Wu Song Beating the Tiger"
How Liu finally defeated
the Chu warlord and unified the country
Most importantly...
Fiery, we may not survive the vengeance
Let's be brothers again in the next life!
Ah!
How can I take my revenge now?
Get up, Villain Li! I want my revenge!
You two come with me!
No, these villains were
killed by another gang of villains
I don't want to go with you- I want my revenge!
Come with me!
Ah!
You wanna leave? There's two options:
Answer my questions- correctly-
or learn martial arts well enough to defeat me
What's the question?
What is Vengeance?
For punishing your enemies!
Wrong!
What is Vengeance?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Wrong!
To get rid of fear,
you must forge ahead into the darkest corner!
What is Vengeance?
To be more vicious than
the most ferocious person out there
Seek out our enemies, and take revenge on them
Wrong!
No matter how we answer, it's always wrong!
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! All Wrong!
What are we wrong about?
"I, I, I!"
You're wrong to mention "I"
Look into the fire, what do you see?
I see hell!
I see rage!
What I see...
is graciousness and sacrifice!
Your father sacrificed
himself for the sake of others
It's easy to kill. Far harder to save.
Your father told me once,
I teach you martial arts to save people!
Remember, no matter how tough things are
Never give up saving another life!
True Vengeance...
is to save lives!
To save people from the flames of hell!
You two can leave whenever you want
Clothes mending!
Need anything mended?
Miss, are you skillful?
I'm very skillful with collars
Thank you, Miss!
Go ahead
Old Snake...
He has the Gold key.
Old Snake is here
Go away, get out of here!
Go away, get out of here!
Go away, get out of here!
After him!
Stop there!
You there!
You there!
You there!
- After her!
- You there!
You there!
Be quick!
You there!
You there!
You there!
A pretty young girl like you?
How dare you mess with me!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Old Snake?
You don't deserve to be a Snake! Not even a worm!
Ah!
Who are you?
Ah!
I'm me. We're are the Orphan Gang
Stinks!
Who kicked him in there?
This must be the Gold key for the vault
Put the key back!
I heard it's a group called the Orphan Gang
Stinks!
Evil has its retribution?
Whoever wrote this must be out of his mind!
Master, luckily the key is not lost
You'll keep the Gold key
From now on, you and Black Crow
will be responsible for the money vault
Thank you, Father!
Thank me?
Am I giving you the money vault?
No, thank you for trusting me
I don't deserve this honor
Perhaps this key...
should be kept by Fei or Black Crow
I'm not good at keeping things
I only know how to fight
You don't want to control the vault?
Maybe you'd rather control me?
Those who don't seek small
profits carry a bigger ambition
What is your big ambition?
I only want...
what you want
You've got nerve!
Daring to smile when you should be scared
Just like me!
Catching a fish requires patience
For you!
Open it! Open it!
Open it! Open it!
Triple four!
Pay up! Pay up!
- Great!
- What luck! Let's go!
Great!
Luck is on my side! Nothing can stop me
All in!
Three three one! Seven points. Small
Lemme borrow 50 silver ingots
You're the new Fourth Young Master
No problem! Bring 50 ingots
to the new Fourth Young Master!
Place your bets! Place your bets!
Triple Six
Hey, big bro!
Five Five Six. Sixteen points. Big.
Darn, just off by a little!
You must be having
problems with the silver ingots!
Lend me another 50 silver ingots!
Brother, brother, no!
All in!
Triple One! Banker takes all!
Another 50 silver ingots!
Six Six Two. Fourteen points. Big.
Another 50 silver ingots!
Three three one! Seven points. Small.
Another 50 silver ingots!
Another 50 silver ingots!
Fourth Young Master, it's against the rules
You're putting me in a difficult situation
I want another 50!
Hurry up and bring it out!
Bring it out!
What's all this fuss!
I want 50 silver ingots!
How dare you!
Take this 50 ingots as a welcome gift
Big brother-
I want 3000 silver ingots
Are you kidding me?
I mean, I want 3000 as a gift, not a loan
You looking for trouble? You better stop it
With these debts,
I have reason to kill you,
and Father can't blame me.
How much do you think this's worth?
How did you get this Gold key?
From Old Snake, of course
Someone tried to make a mold
and I caught him red- handed
Who?
North Evil's minions
North Evil? He wants the money vault?
So you're hereto make a business deal
You should give this to Father,
but you brought it here instead
You're betraying the gang
It takes the Gold
and Silver keys to open the money vault
I don't have the Silver key
or know where the vault is
This key means nothing to me.
It's hardly some deadly crime
Since it's useless here,
I'll give it back to Father
Looks like you're not
leaving without a win tonight
That depends on the dealer
Come to think of it,
3000 silver ingots is far too cheap
If I have to choose between you or
North Evil to benefit from this
I'd rather it be you
North Evil knows you have this?
Of course not!
I already killed that minion
He'd never imagine
the Gold key's with you now
Since North Evil has his
heart set on getting the vault,
he might have killed Old Snake
If that's the case, you'll be his next target!
Perhaps you've already been stabbed in the back
I have to try this key first
If anything goes wrong,
you won't get away with this
Big Brother, you're playing it safe?
Showing me the vault to get me involved
Master Liu asked us to come
Finally caught the big fish
Fourth Master, your fish!
It's for you!
Fourth Master!
Here's a peanut for you!
It's a map!
Miss, your dress has been mended
Men are so impatient,
always tearing off my collar
Fortunately, you're a good seamstress
My mending skills are good. Take a look
Tomorrow
How come she won't turn to look at you this time?
You like Chun, why don't you tell her?
If it'll hurt Fiery...
I'd rather give up Chun
But Chun likes you
How do you know?
When I told her
my collar was torn by you
All right, next time I'll tell her
you just hide here
Up to you
Since you three are good friends,
why can't you be frank about it?
Let Chun choose whoever she likes
Maybe three of you can stay together forever
You like to joke
I envy her
If I was her,
I'd seize
Not for the man
But for the heart
Master, this way!
Master, this way!
Master, this way!
Where are the workman chiefs?
Follow me!
You are a collector of weapons
They are not mine
They belong to my enemies
They're my most loyal friends
Accompany me in every battle
They will never betray me
Do you know what I'm
thinking of when seated?
Your business?
I'm thinking who else wants to kill me?
No need to be paranoid!
The entire Guangzhou Pier is your turf now
Old Snake's death tells me...
Someone's conspiring against me
Know why I bring you here today and you alone?
I want you to feel the joy of uprooting a problem
Lei!
If my father didn't help you
build this turf at the pier,
you wouldn't have anything today
And you
No need to lure me out
I will definitely come for you
Can you manage?
Yes I can!
He can't
No you can't
- Father!
- Careful!
Do it!
I don't want to kill you
If you're not dead,
what's there to live for?
Don't hesitate, show no mercy!
I didn't kill him, you did
Everyone! Get out!
Get up!
Everyone get out!
Get out!
Get up!
Help! Help!
Stay there!
Be quick! Round him up from the front!
That's the arsonist!
Be quick! Round him up!
- Stay there!
- Be quick! Round him up!
Don't run!
Good- for- nothing!
Get him!
Stay there! Get him!
Get him! Stay there!
Over there!
And here!
Master, the opium dens are on fire!
Father, I'll go check!
Stay there!
That way!
Brother Black Crow!
Brother Fei
Where's the girl?
It's a trap! You're with them!
You're not stupid, just greedy
Do you remember my parents?
Ma Yin Shun and Tsui Lai Leung
from the Guang Yuen Escort Service?
They were just ordinary armed escorts
They refused to join your gang and you killed them
I, Ma Chun Yuk, swear to avenge their death today!
Giving me the Gold key was your first step
Getting my Silver key is the second,
and there's the third-
It's been four years...
and we've never been
able to say a word to one another
I see you when I pass the Courtesan boat
It's only a glimpse, as you cross the bridge
No one would notice
Last time...
Why didn't you look at me?
I don't want to see you two together
It's my fault
But you keep tearing off her collar...
And it takes a lot of work to mend it
A gift from Fiery
When it's over, I'll tell him about you and me.
I've waited so long to hear you say this
Trust me
Just one more move
We're almost there
Stay alive- you promise me!
He refuses to talk
Come-
Beat him up!
Make him give up his accomplices!
No need for that
My brothers are awfully busy right now
The money vault!
You stay here!
There's money to be distributed at TongRen Lane!
Money will be given to the poor for free!
Master-
While we put out the fires at the opium dens,
the poor raided the money vault
Where're the guards?
They're all dead
Fetch Black Crow and North Evil now!
You'll be all right
- Listen
- I'm here
Let's fight our way out!
I won't leave!
Tell Chun...
I love her very much
You tell her yourself
Let's go!
I don't have a chance
I've always wanted to take her from you...
but now- she'd be better off in your hands
I don't want you to do that
Let's fight our way out!
What's wrong with you!
Listen!
You can't give up our dream just to save me
Burn down the opium dens,
open the money vault, right?
If this sacrifice
saves 300 innocent workers
There're plenty of fathers out there
Save them, so their kids
won't turn into orphans like me
This is everything we've worked for, isn't it?
I can't watch you die and just do nothing
I can't do it!
Don't forget the mountain. What we promised.
Don't make me die with regrets!
How can I forget?
I didn't forget!
But don't make me live in
guilt for the rest of my life
Without you, our dream...
You picked the hell divination stick
Stay...
Fulfill our dreams
You once said-
my life is your life, remember?
Today I'll repay You
From now on-
My dream is your dream!
With one shared life,
I won't have regrets
What a pity- no more peanuts
Get lost!
I won't say a word!
You know how many people
died for those silver ingots?
What are you people doing?
It's for our dream!
To bring down a man like you!
There must be a mole in my gang
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to open the vault
Bring me scissors!
Kill me! Go ahead!
Fei-
Cut his tongue out!
Why must you take it this far?
Why must you take it this far!
Do it!
Kill me!
Cut!
Master!
Master! Black Crow has been killed
Check the Silver key on him!
Ahhh...
Hmm.
Father-
There's no key!
But strange... Black Crow's body...
a wound so similar...
What're you implying?
Father, Black Crow and
I had our differences,
but I can't kill him
We didn't even have a chance to fight
I've been framed
This is a setup!
This person killed my two
sons and raided my money vault
He must have wanted to
wipe out the Black Tiger Gang
So that he could replace me and reap the benefits
Father-
I've been in this gang for 13 years
I've never done anything wrong
I didn't say it was you!
Father, please- wait a second
Tell me who killed Black Crow
Which among us is your guy?
If you refuse to speak,
I'll make you beg for mercy
Speak!
I'll say!
I'll say!
That's more like it
What?
Louder!
Tell me!
Say it properly!
I've made an oath with my brother
Don't cry for me!
Father
I didn't kill him
What did he say to you?
He set me up!
He sacrificed his life to set you up?
How unfair to you!
Now it's a challenge?
That's what I love!
Hang him on the arch
Come on Brother, let's go!
The only way to save people from hell
is by going there yourself
Brother
One of us has to step into this hell
in order to rip them from the inside
Draw one!
The long one is the hell divination stick
I'm so afraid you'll snatch
the hell divination stick
If I die...
promise you won't avenge my death
The one left behind must accomplish our dream
This is...
our promise!
Even if we get rid of this gang,
another one will take over
It'll never end
In five years,
I'll be the most feared person here,
conquering all the bad guys
I'll unite all the orphans,
and together we'll take them down
Why am I here?
Last night you came back and said Fiery had died
Fiery died
And you passed out
You even cried in your sleep
He was my best friend
He died in front of me
and I couldn't save him
I don't know if all this is worth it anymore
You guys did something we never would have dared
Do you know...
When the poor got those
silver ingots, they cried?
Everyone was happy
Watching those opium dens burn...
It gave them hope
You always told them to stand up and fight, right?
Fiery is dead
Fiery is gone
Fiery is gone
Fiery is gone
I'll never be able to get out of this hell
Look at me
Other people can, because of you
It's useless
Until now-
I couldn't figure out
where they hid the 300 missing workers
300!
It's North Evil's business
Lei didn't let me get involved
North Evil
is starting to suspect me
I have to move fast
If I'm going to rescue them in time
Why not just find a way to kill Lei?
No
If we do...
North Evil would be the new Master of the gang
The pier will still be held by villains,
just a different leader
You've got to deal with two villains
I wish I could help you like Chun does
Fourth Master, someone's here for you
Fiery!
This was a brilliant man
His name was Zhuge Liang
Also known as Kongming, the "Sleeping Dragon"
He knows astronomy and geography...
He's well- respected by everyone
Understands Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams...
I want to hear the historical story,
"Ambush on All Sides"
And "Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar"
Father! Master!
Why are you so late?
Brother-
Where were you last night?
I found Young Master at the Courtesan boat
The Courtesan boat?
How can you be in the mood?
A great show's about to begin
We've got the place surrounded
If they make a move,
we'll wipe them out
...lining up, just as Kongming told them to
And as the auspicious hour approached,
Kongming fasted and bathed
Put on a Taoist robe, and went to the altar
What happened then?
Now, the story of the fight
between Chor and Han in the Warring Period
"Ambush on All Sides" and
"Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar"
Why not the Story of Three Kingdoms?
Who dares to tip them off?
The mole is here!
No one's allowed to leave
I've been here all
morning and haven't stepped away
Definitely has nothing to do with me
No one said it's you.
Don't try to blame it on others
Bring me the Storyteller!
May I ask who this Master is?
Tell me, who asked you
to tell these two stories?
Yes...
Indeed, a man paid me earlier
and asked to hear these stories
But I'm blind,
so couldn't tell you what he looks like.
How about his voice? Could you recognize it?
The blind have the best ears
Each of you come up and say the words into his ear
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Including you two!
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
Ambush on All Sides,
Invitation to Step into the Heated Jar
We opened the money vault and burnt the opium dens
Through which door did you two come in?
Because we're late,
we came in through the back door
Without crossing the market?
No!
Fourth Young Master
Master has to deliver some cargo
to the leprosarium for the foreigners
Your service is required this time
Sure
Master will personally deliver? What cargo?
Medicines for the leprosarium
North Evil used to be responsible,
but this time- Master has to do it
But then...
Please don't ask me anything more
How is it?
I've ordered all the bathhouse customers to leave
You guys stand guard
Don't even let a fly get in
Why does a Courtesan boat girl come here?
I've come to see Master North Evil
I am Orchid, from the Capital Courtesan Boat
I have information for him. About the money vault
A Capital Courtesan boat girl is here to see you
Capital Courtesan boat? The one Fei frequents?
You're Fei's woman. What do you want from me?
I won't believe a word you say
My words will kill him
Why wouldn't you believe me?
You're just some woman
With no family
Why betray him?
Sooner or later, he'll be exposed
I'd better find a more stable sugar daddy
I heard he only visits your boat
He must treat you very well
We've known each other since we were young
My nickname was Little Fa
We used to be very close
But later we were separated
We met again three years ago at the Courtesan boat
I saved him once-
So he trusts me
That's how I know his secrets
Don't play games with me
What secrets do you know?
I know he killed Black Crow-
how's that for a start?
I knew it was him!
It was his idea to open the money vault
He stays in the gang
so he can find the 300 missing workers...
And I love him.
I was going to stay with him forever
But then I learned...
I'm not the one he loves
My heart is broken
I have to find a way to protect myself.
Tell me
What kind of reward do you want?
Master North Evil...
I want you.
My body is... Feeble.
I'm frail, and can't walk steadily...
Without a big rock like you,
I won't be able to survive
Will you take me in?
We're hereto deliver the medicine
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!
I said shut up!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
You want to kill me?
Kill you!
You want to kill me?
It's not so easy to kill someone
You know why I'm still alive today?
I have eyes all over my body
We'll deliver them to the
boat on the 15th of next month
A feeble woman like that-
she wants to kill me?
This little brother is really naive
To incur a double loss
Nowhere to hide
You can't go through that wall!
This is for the people you've killed!
How can I let you sacrifice yourself?
Why get involved in this?
I'm a prostitute. This is the only way
to get close to North Evil
If I can use my body to kill this monster,
that's redemption enough.
Besides...
If I do this, I can have Fei's heart forever
I've always envied you. I've been jealous, even
You can do whatever you think is right
But through my whole life, I've never had a choice
Promise me-
No matter how bad the situation gets
Don't come near me
I can't bear to see you in danger
North Evil is very cunning
If I don't succeed, you still could
As long as we achieve our goal,
the sacrifice doesn't matter
She is Little Fa
Why tell me in such a way?
Why would you tell me in such a way?
I know why...
She wants to be in your heart forever
We still have to accomplish what we have to do
Now we know where the kidnapped workers are
Spread the news about the leprosarium quickly
It's time to start a revolution
You once asked me who's in my heart
Now I know
Fei!
Help me put this on for Fiery
Let's remember his righteousness!
Brother-
It's time for us to fight back
I,
Wong Fei Hung,
will never forget our dream
I hereby swear-
I will unify the people,
Rise up against all opposition,
And stand up against all evil
Unity! Dignity!
300 workers held at the leprosarium
Take a look! Take a look!
300 workers illegally held
300 workers illegally held
Take a look!
Let them go!
Stand back-
Whoever can bring me Fei's head
Will be my sole adopted son!
Where are they?
Tell me! Tell me!
Go!
Wait-
Where are they?
I let them go
You idiot! What are you talking about?
You're wrong!
I'm a martial arts practitioner!
Get him!
Master,
the foreigners at the
leprosarium have withdrawn suddenly
Hurry!
Ask our men at the leprosarium to withdraw, too
I want to set them free, as well!
Please, someone save us!
We want revenge! Fight the Black Tiger Gang!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
Fight the Black Tiger Gang to the death!
We have no fear of pain or death
We won't back down
We want to even the score
We won't back off! We won't back off!
Quiet please!
Master Lei-
We have 500 men here
If we all fight, it'll be a massacre
What if...
we had a duel? Just you and me?
I'll challenge you to the death!
You betray me for the sake of these workers-
Will they treat you as well as I have?
I know I owe you righteousness
I can only repay it in my next life
But you owe them justice!
That payment is due today!
Bullshit!
Let me make it crystal clear...
Who...
the Master is around here!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
People!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
If I die,
none of you should take action on my behalf
Think of your families
They're waiting for you at home
Fei-
Can you win?
If both sides fight,
many will die
It's better that I die
Than to have the whole place covered in blood
Promise me-
If I fall,
you have to make them go home
Let him in
Close the door!
You want to burn me to death?
We die together?
Not exactly
I want to burn this place down
and revive this pier
How naive!
Go ahead-
I'll show you true darkness
Hurry! Hurry! Over here! Over here!
Give me the bucket!
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry! Pass it over!
Hurry!
Hurry! Pass it over! Quick!
Put out the fire!
Hurry! Hurry! Over here!
Over here! Over here!
Quick! Over there!
Getting warm?
I'll be fine
You set the fire! Come on!
Run! Run!
The warehouse is gone. They can't get out now
Let's get out of here
Run!
Hot?
Hot!
I don't need you to save me
You don't deserve it
Don't pretend you care
Do you think killing me
will make this world a better place?
You're so naive!
Lei-
You think it's that easy to be a hero?
There'll always be another villain in the shadows
Soon enough, you'll be just like me
That is your destiny
Father
I'd like to borrow your umbrella
