The Master (1980) - full transcript

Although injured, a martial-arts expert teaches an orphan his methods.

Gentlemen, this way please!

Xiao Si, serve the customers!

My lords, have a drink.

Hurry up, Xiao Si!

Coming, coming!

Gentlemen, please take a seat!

Very Good!
Master, you`re very skillful!

Why are you still here?

Didn`t they tell you to get lost?

Yes! Yes!

You three are very punctual.



Jin Tianyun,

we have nothing to do with you.

Why do you call us here?

Because you are
murderers and rapists,

l can`t stand anymore.

So you want to be a hero?

l just want to
give you a little punishment.

To chop off all your right hands.

Then you`ll behave properly in the future.

To the hero, l raise a...

To the hero, l raise a toast !

No!

Drink it first!

Stop!



Stop!

Are you okay?

Yes, yes! lt`s fun.

Huang, you`re really something!

Go!

Don`t let him run away!

Chase him!

The Decent School of Martial Arts

That was a good try.

l`m coming!

Again?

Feel good?

You jerk!
Big Brother!

What happened?

lt`s him!

Nothing, nothing! lt`s a mistake!

Mistake?
l think you did intend to touch her.

No wonder the wet nurse said
you`re always horny.

Don`t regard Sister as a wet nurse!

You jerk!
When my dad comes home,

you will be in trouble.

No, l won`t dare do it again!

And l`ll let you touch me
and we can get even!

You deserved it!

He`s teasing you!

Huh, does that amuse you?

Blockhead,
l guess you need a good beating.

How dare you tease your brother?

Brother!

Big Brother,

that blockhead disrespected me.

Don`t you think
he deserves a good beating?

Forget it and continue practicing.

Otherwise Master will blame us
when he returns.

Keep practicing!

What are you looking at?
Want a good beating?

Gao Jian!

He`s pretending not to hear you!

Gao Jian!

What`s the matter?

Bring me two stone weights!

Why don`t you get them yourself?

l`m your elder,
so you must do it for me.

That`s right! Get it quick!

What a feeble chicken!

And he wants to learn martial arts?

He is only good in bed.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Quick!

Gao Jian, kneel down!

Master.

Gao Jian,
l took pity on you as an orphan.

That`s why l keep you here
to learn martial arts.

But you`re not behaving well.

You have no respect for your elders!

lf you don`t like it here, you can leave!

Master, it wasn`t my fault.

lt was 2nd and 3rd Brother.

And now you`re falsely
accusing me as the villain!

Master, don`t listen to him!

He hurt us on purpose.

Brother`s wound will get worse
if we wait longer.

Master, it hurts so much!

Shut up! Dad!

Let me check...

That`s none of your business!

What`s the first
discipline of our school?

Troublemakers and
premeditated fighters

will be punished severely!

A crab! Eight claws!

A head of this shape!

A wink! A shrink!

Hooray as it came!

Good brother, drink together!

A four, a five and a six!

Drink til you`re sick!

l`ll drink.
l`ve never said no to a drink.

Roasted chicken wing.

My all-time favorite!

And roasted pigeon?

lt`s just amazing!

That blockhead,

where is he?

He is exhausted!

lt`s good to drink wine.

The blockhead is being punished over
there

without any food.

What are you doing?

What do you want?
Want to collect our bones?

Shut up!

A horse stance!

Master said l can go
when the incense finishes.

Now it`s all burnt down!

Burnt down?

Not yet!

Look carefully!

Be patient, kid. Want to go?
Horse stance!

Want to sleep? Horse stance!

Keep on the horse stance!

l`ve been in this stance
the whole night.

l`m so out of shape,
food doesn`t matter now.

l`m so tired!

Mr. Ghost,
l`m not the one that killed you!

l`ve nothing to do with you.

Please, don`t scare me!

Master! Master! Master!

Forget it! lf l inform Master now,

he`ll blame me all the same.

What should l do?

How dare you! You`re still alive!

You`ve scared me so much!

Where`s Gao Jian?

l didn`t see him.

Master, l`ll get him!

Shut up and go!

Gao Jian!

What are you doing?

Nothing! l bumped into 2nd Brother!

Don`t you know the time?

Lazy boy, go and practice!

Master, have you heard of someone

by the name of Jin Tianyun?

Why do you ask about him?

No reason. lt`s just that l`ve heard

how amazing his technique is.

He is pretty skillful,

but he didn`t
come from a decent school.

Just in case you run into him in the
future.

You`d better turn away.

Master, will you turn away

if you run into him?

Nonsense!

Gao Jian, if you`d rather leave us,

l`ll make it easy for you!

Master, you got me wrong!

Got you wrong?

Master, this blockhead

doesn`t really want to
learn martial arts.

He just wants a place to stay

and have three meals a day.

Third Brother, can you shut up?

Why should l?

Master, the stance
you taught me a few days ago.

ls it like this?

Second Brother!

Oh, it hurts!

You bloody fool!

Dad, 3rd Brother hit Gao Jian!

What`s the first rule of our school?

Troublemakers and premeditated fighters

will be punished severely!

Someone`s got a pig`s foot to sell!

Someone`s got a ghost story to tell!

Someone wants to
yell without energy!

Someone is standing on a bench,
and shivering like hell.

Who over there could be so ecstatic?

l`ll feed you to a dog
if l get hold of you.

Wow, don`t be so cruel!

Aren`t you tired?

Talking wastes energy!

Be careful!

You must be out of breath now.

Mind that you don`t die!

Now l`m so angry l could die.

Don`t be angry!

l did that on purpose
so Master would punish you.

Now l can release my anger!

l`m sorry!

l stepped on your injured foot!

Help!

Hurry up! Go practice after eating!

Hey, sharing is a virtue.

This is an efficient world.

Only the quick
can survive, stupid!

Yes! Come, get some sauce!

lt`s better than nothing!

Your overleft!

Now you can have
the most original taste!

Brother Jin, you must be hungry.

Take this.

l don`t feel like eating.

l`m sorry,
l did want to bring you some food,

but all those nasty brothers
were so fast

in clearing up all dishes.

Rice is the only thing left.

This one is untouched!

Thank you,
but l really don`t feel like eating.

You`re seriously wounded
and haven`t eaten for days.

Your stomach will hurt.

Come, for my sake!
Have this bowl of rice!

Come on!

l`ll get you some tea.

Your brothers fight for food?

They always say
this is an efficient world.

Only those fast enough can survive!

You must be the slow one!

l`m the junior
so they always bully me.

Every meal, l only have
rice with sauce! No food!

lt`s better than what l have now!

Original taste, right?

Yes, that`s called the original taste.

Rice has its own taste! Doesn`t it?

My master said...

your kung fu technique is stunning.

But...

What?

Seems like he doesn`t like you!

Who is your master?

Shi Zhengzong.
Have you heard about him?

He was nicknamed Thunderstorm.

He has good technique
and has earned great acclaim.

Thunderstorm?

Do you think l am lying?

lf he has good
technique and reputation,

how could l have broken his bones
three years ago?

You`ve beaten him up?

l despise these hypocrites
who call themselves

``the decent school of martial arts``.

All they know is vanity!

Don`t worry, l won`t beat you up!

Because we are good brothers!

Yes, we are!

Brother Jin, are you okay?

Tomorrow get me some medicine,
Tianqi and Baiyao.

Ten grams of Tianqi
and 50 grams of Baiyao.

Please get it from somewhere else!

Why? l`ve got money! Get it quick!

Tianqi and Baiyao!

Do you need them for cuts?

Hey, don`t you want to do business?

What are you doing?

Tell me now,
do you need them for cuts?

lt`s none of your business!

l`ll cut your head off
if you don`t tell me!

Okay, okay! l`ll tell you.
Mind the blade!

l want it for my master.
He`s wounded.

Who`s your master?

lt`s Thunderstorm.

Shi Zhengzong!

Hey man, let go of me!

How did your master get hurt?

My master is so unfortunate.

While he was asleep,

someone covered with blood
suddenly came in.

Blood?

Yes, he was stabbed here!

He knew martial arts.

Have you heard of anyone

who was stabbed here
and didn`t die?

Who is that man?

My friend, why are you so rude?
Release me first!

Oh, my side!

Tell me quick!

Yes, yes!
That man was covered by blood,

but he could still survive!

My master
asked him what happened,

then he tried to stab my master.

l sensed something wrong
so l kicked him.

Go on, speak!

Okay, it happened that l kicked

right where he was stabbed.

The knife went in two more inches.

He gave out a loud cry!

Then he turned away and ran.

Of course, l chased him.

He kept running, and l kept chasing.

Where to?

l was chasing him for more than a mile.

Then he got on a horse
and went east.

And you lost him?

Yes, it`s all true.

Every word is so true!

Boss!

The one you met
at the pharmacy is Fan San.

He`s one of the Three Devils.

He has good skills with his
duel blades and a very bad temper.

He is mean and nasty!

The second one is
Zhou Sanzhao, a womanizer.

Very good with darts
and secret weapons.

Never missed a target!

The leader of the three is
Yan Qingwang.

He is ruthless and insidious,
and most skillful among the three.

His Leopard boxing is marvelous.

His braid can kill.

They`re the parasites
of the martial arts field.

Sooner or later,
l`ll use their heads as footballs.

Brother Jin,
you mentioned that three years ago

you broke my master`s ribs.

ls it true?

You can ask him yourself.

According to my master`s styles,

there are three stances
that can protect the chest.

How did you break his ribs?

Which three stances?

Okay, watch carefully!

Hanging high as a star.

Flying light as a butterfly.

Kicking hard as the top star.
How`s that?

What? Am l not skillful?

You`re okay, but not good enough!

What? Not good enough?

You know these three stances

have turned me into a strong man.
Look!

lf so,
why don`t you work in the fields?

You think l`m an ox?

Ox? Well, you aren`t as big as that!

What then, you mean l`m puny?

l can see that
you`re like a Mongol doctor!

Sick or well, it`s up to you.

Let me show you!

Come!

Okay.

Mongol doctor, eh?
l`ll give you a checkup!

l`m coming!

Left punch!
Right punch!

Wah! Really fierce!

That`s nothing!

Want to know how l defeated you?

Of course!

Then come again!

Hanging high as a star!

And the second one?

Flying light as a butterfly!

Kicking hard as the top star!

Shi Zhengzong has led
the young one astray!

Even if you study all your life,

all you`ll learn is
fancy boxing and some kicks.

Brother Jin, can l learn from you?

You want to betray your school?

Not really.

Betraying one`s own school
is a serious violation in martial arts.

l don`t want to be called a traitor!

You do have character.

Character?

lf l had that l wouldn`t stay here
and be bullied!

You really wish to learn from me?

Of course,
but then l don`t want to be a traitor.

That`s easy.

l`ll teach you secretly
then nobody will know.

Brother Jin, when can we start?

Tomorrow!

l`ll show you
what real martial arts is all about!

Boxing has four types:
fist, palm, claw and hook.

These are founded on four bases:
kick, strike, wrestle and hold.

There are three don`ts
when practicing boxing!

Don`t act on impulse!
Don`t rush! Don`t be vain!

lmpulse will break the energy.

Vanity will loosen the energy.

By being hasty
you`ll have sloppy potential.

Boxing is also about coordination of

the eye, the hand and the body.

Speed is a critical element.

Especially the eyes have to be keen.

ln Chinese boxing
there are some ambiguous elements.

One must learn to balance them,

thereby testing your opponent.

You have to know all that to win.

What l`m showing you now
is close range.

At the time of actual wrestling,

gather your power
and attack at short range.

lt is indeed very powerful!

That`s called Extreme fist.
Very agile!

Can you do that?

Piece of cake!

Excuse me! Watch me!

Sometimes even cake
can make one choke.

Take your time!

lf it were simple,
everyone would be a master.

You broke it?

Yes, my head!

Did you find Jin Tianyun?

Couldn`t find him anywhere!

Chief, do you think
he has left this Phoenix town?

That`s impossible.
He`s wounded. He can`t go far!

Keep searching!

Brother Jin, how`s that? Not bad?

Very powerful.

lt`s actually more than that.

lt`s extremely powerful
from head to toe!

See, it`s more broken
than a broken body!

Don`t be so proud!

To learn the essence of close range,

you have to
practice more and harder.

How?.

l`ll tell you later!

Have you memorized
the rules of the sword?

Getting there.
l`ve been studying all night!

Tomorrow l`ll teach you
the way of the sword.

The sword is listed as the top
of all short weapons.

lt has two blades
and a ridge in the middle.

The blade will break
if hit by hard material.

The essence of the sword is at the edge

so all attention is being put there.

The art of the sword
is also based on that.

The perfect use of the sword hilt

is not only an art by itself

but can also be used to
confuse the enemy`s vision.

lt helps in your attack!

Brother Jin, how come these tiles

are so hard to break?

Because you are
not concentrating enough!

Just watch!

First, clear your mind,

and concentrate.

Brother Jin, you`re amazing!

Remember,
haste brings no success.

Haste could also cause you injury

and turn you into a moron.

Thanks for the lesson!

Brother Jin,
you haven`t recovered yet!

But we ran out of money,
what should we do?

Don`t worry, the fortune teller said

l will live up to ninety years.

ls that true?

How do l know?

You can ask
the blind fortune teller yourself!

What? Blind?
He told your fortune in darkness?

l think you should
get into your room first.

l`ll get money from
Master to get you medicine.

Hey, Gao!

What? Jin Tianyun is dead?

Yes, l heard he was killed
by the Three Devils.

These Three Devils are pure evil.

Ever since they killed him,
their morale is boosted.

Don`t know
why they have stayed here

the past few months?

What`s more,
a few days ago they beat up

Master Qin`s apprentices
for no reason at all!

Nonsense!
lf they keep on causing trouble,

l`ll teach them a good lesson!

That`s why we are here.

We hope you can uphold justice.

Yes!

The three of them are very skillful!

Master, what should we do?

Should we hire
some more men to help?

ln order to eradicate
these kind of dregs,

it`s good to have some more men.

Do you know
where the Three Devils are now?

We`re not sure about that,
but we`ve heard

Zhou Sanzhao spent
all the money he stole

at Yihong Brothel every night.

The money was spent
as fast as flowing water!

Yihong Brothel?

l must get that ill-gotten money.

l want to suck your dates!

My lord,
aren`t you wasting this good wine?

What a pity.

Not at all!

Nothing like
Chinese dates soaked in wine.

lt`s like paradise!

Such a big man
and he`s still drinking breast milk?

Looks like it`s so pleasurable.

Look at the way
he waggles his tongue.

How heavenly!

This is so embarrassing!

What`s so embarrassing about that?

Don`t bother if you`re broke.

This is so wonderful!

Master Zhou,
you`ve had your fun!

Let`s play the money game,
how`s that?

Good!

Come! Come! All of you!

Let`s get everybody out!

These are all for you!

Coming! Coming!

Only those fast enough
will get a reward!

Let`s start the game!

You can have it if you catch it;
lf you drop it, it`s not yours!

You dropped it!

Stupid!

Next!

You`d better catch some for me!

What are you doing here?
Back of the line! Go!

Line up! Line up!

Shut up!

You`re all useless!
l`m so mad! Next!

Put your hands down!

lt`s so embarrassing!

Like a piece of cardboard!

She hasn`t had enough nutrition!

Even though her breasts are a bit flat,

she`s actually good-looking
when you take a closer look.

Throw it at her! lt`ll be funny!

Really?

Thanks, Master Zhou!

Master Zhou, keep on playing!

Thanks Master Zhou, thank you!

She got it again! Throw at her, quick!

Master Zhou, come on!

Stop!

Get away! Get away!

Are you blind?

Sorry, sorry!

Open the door!
Boss! Open the door!

What`re you doing here
in the middle of night?

You want to break into my shop?

l`m sorry, Boss,
l need 10 grams of Tianqi,

50 grams of Baiyao, also...

Are you mad?
Do you know what time it is?

Come back tomorrow!

Please help.
lt`s a matter of life and death.

lt`s not my business! l need to sleep!

You can`t sleep, Boss!

Asshole, no sympathy at all!

All you want is sleep!

You can sleep as much as you want
after you die!

What are you looking at? Get lost!

Asshole!

l`ll make it hard for you to sleep!

Sleep! l`ll let you sleep!

Son of a bitch! Sleep!

Since you like to sleep! Damn it.

Sleep! l`ll let you sleep!

What are you doing?
The gold is mine!

lt has the word
``Three`` engraved on it.

Doesn`t this belong to
Zhou Sanzhao?

So you know Zhou Sanzhao?

Don`t get me wrong!
l didn`t steal it.

Zhou Sanzhao gave it to me
of his own accord.

Gave it to you?

lt`s true, you don`t believe me?

Grab him!

Hey, don`t move!
You really want to fight?

Kid, you do know some kung fu!

This kid must be
the apprentice of Zhou Sanzhao.

We`ll take him to Thunderstorm!

Wait, Thunderstorm is my master!

How come he has
an apprentice like you?

Who`s that?
Who are you looking for?

Master Shi.

Master! Help!
Get me out!

Master Shi.

We`ve got hold of Zhou`s apprentice.

We`ll let you handle this.

Good!

This bastard, let me question him!

Take a seat, Master!

Help! Let me out!

Master, it`s me!

lt`s Gao Jian!

Gao Jian, what happened?

Master, l...they...

What exactly happened?

Master, these three assholes,

l told them l was your apprentice,
but they ignored...

Look at you.
What do you look like now?.

Master, l think he looks like a lily.

You all think so, too?

Shut up! Shut up!

Master Shi, we found
Zhou Sanzhao`s gold ingot on him.

This is indeed strange!

We hope
you can clear things up for us!

The gold ingot is engraved
with the word ``Three``!

Yes, ``Three``!

``Three`` is on it!

Where did you get this?

Zhou Sanzhao gave it to me.

What?

Zhou Sanzhao is
a notorious murderer.

Why would he give you money?

That`s right!

He didn`t really give it to me. l...

Master, he`s lying again.

Yes! He`s lying again!

Where did you get the money?

Gao Jian, tell Dad the truth!

Quick,
otherwise Master will punish you!

Zhou Sanzhao
threw money at the prostitutes

so l dressed up as a woman
and got his money.

Dressed up as a prostitute?
What a good idea!

Yes, yes,
he does look like a woman!

Your apprentice is smart.
He will have a bright future.

Enough!

Just now it was only me
against you all!

Now my master is here.
Let`s fight if you dare!

Gao Jian.

Not bad!

That`s my master`s teaching!

Dad!

You want to drive me mad?

Dad!

What do you know about kung fu?
Talk about fighting?

You deserve it! You!

l`m sorry,
l should have taught him better!

l`ll teach him
a good and harsh lesson.

Master Shi, please take it easy!

Gentlemen,
please have a seat inside.

Serve the guests!

Master!

lt`s the third day now!
l won`t live long even if l survive this.

Don`t be such a cry-baby!
More hardship is coming!

lt`s bad luck!

ln fact, you can take the punishment

as a form of practice.

lt`s not only horse stance
that l`m having!

What else?

A stomach stance!

You need to stand up like a man!

Yeah, right! My eyes are still standing!

Let me show you!

Air flows into the stomach!

Energy flows from the abdomen!

Brother Jin, what is that?

This is the art of
utilizing the vital energy.

lt can loosen stiff joints
and help blood flow!

lf you follow the instruction!
Not only horse stance

but you can also stand up
to any stance!

Air flows into the stomach!

Energy flows from the abdomen!

Eyes closed as the energy gathers!

Left and right and left and right!

A thousand pounds
and l`m still all right!

Left and right and left and right!

A thousand pounds
and l`m still all right!

lt`s too light!

Looks like he gives a damn!

Get into position!

Make a proper horse stance!
Or stomach stance!

Do it!

Higher!

Oh!

Third Brother, what are you doing?

You asshole!

Third Brother,
Jian is already serving his punishment.

Why are you beating him up?

He...oh, my foot!

Poor foot!

What? Brother Jin...

you`ll be leaving tomorrow?.

Yes! During the past three months...

l`ve already taught you all that l know.

As long as you practice hard,
a year later...

you`ll be another Jin Tianyun.

Brother Jin,
you have not recovered yet.

Those gangs are still
looking for you.

Until they find my body
they will not give up!

Sooner or later they will be here!

l know, you`re afraid of involving me.

Brother Jin, we`re good brothers.

We should share bliss
and misfortune together.

Gao, nothing lasts forever!

l`ll come see you in a year!

Well... Brother Jin, until then

l`ll take good care of you!

Like the rice of original taste?

Daixiong, give it a try!

Me! Yes, Master!

Got it!

Okay, okay!

Ying Chang, it`s your turn!

Me? No way!

Third Brother,
if you don`t want to learn from Dad,

you can leave!

l didn`t mean that!

Then go practice!

All right!

Master, which stance?

Whichever!

Go, go!

l`ll die if l have to!

You still have a lot to learn.
Keep practicing!

Yes, Master!

Gao Jian,
are you here to learn martial arts?

Master,
l don`t think he`s learned anything!

But even if l did so, it`s useless!

Useless?

Master,
he looks down on our school!

Don`t make things up!

Come here!

Gao Jian,
how long have you been learning here?

About three years!

So you should know the stances
you`ve just seen.

Could you demonstrate?

Master!

l bet you can`t manage even one.

One stance and he`s finished!

Master, please!

See? He`s useless!

Master, observe!

Gao Jian,
where did you learn that?

l...l made it up!

Fine, show me some more!

Please!

Master,
the ``flying light as a butterfly``

strikes from the top and bottom,

but the middle part is unprotected.

lt`ll be an easy target!

Master, he`s right!

Seems like he`s not bad.

What did you say?

Master forgot his glasses!

No wonder you can`t win over him!

Dad!

l`m sorry, Master!

Master`s technique is good.

But now he can`t even stand still.

He was defeated in
at least six or seven stances.

He picked up a brick!

A brick?

You bastard!

Master!

Stay there! Don`t run!

lt`s me!

Master, stop it! Stop it!

You bastard!
How dare you beat me up!

l didn`t mean it!

Didn`t mean it?
But you punched Master so hard?

lt was just a mistake!

Mistake?
lt was more than one time.

No! Master just couldn`t take it!

Dad!

Tell me,
who taught you those stances?

l...l..!

l taught him!

Jin Tianyun!

Master Shi,
it`s been three years since we last met!

Your temper is still bad, l see.

Brother Jin,
how come you`re still here?

l was afraid that you`d be bullied again

so l came back!

Jin Tianyun,
you taught my apprentice in secret.

This is definitely against ethics!

Ethics?

Don`t complicate things.

Your apprentice saved my life

so l taught him
as a way to say thanks!

Why are you so mean?

That`s true, Master.

ln fact, it`s good to learn more!

You traitor, you`ve betrayed
our teachings and our school.

l`ll kill you!

Shi Zhengzong,
``the decent school`` talks about

loving and helping
the younger generation!

But you blame your apprentice
and even beat him up...

in order to keep your pride.

lf you try to give him a hard time again,
l`ll interfere.

Jin Tianyun,
l know how to teach my pupils!

This is none of your business!

You like to yell!

You want me to break your ribs again?

Brother Jin,
you`ve not recovered yet!

Just leave here, quickly!

You`re wounded!

lf l fight with you,

people will say
l`ve taken undue advantage.

lt`ll ruin my reputation!

Ying Chang, Wei Kun
and Daixiong come here!

Yes, Master?

Yes, Master?

Go have a match with Master Jin!

Me?

You wouldn`t want to
tarnish my reputation, would you? Move!

Go!

Go! Keep going!

Keep going! Keep going!

What`s wrong with you? Get him!

Master, he`s wounded, please stop it!

Master!

Master...

Dad!

Master, he`s running away!

l`m sorry, Master!

You traitor, hang him up!

Jin Tianyun,
l thought you`d flown away!

Finally, we meet again!

Don`t think you can
get away this time!

Fan San, get him!

No! Let me get him!

Big Brother!

Jin Tianyun, l`ll get you this time!

Master,

Gao Jian is young and ignorant.

Please forgive him this once!

Dad, you`ve already
hung him up for a whole day.

Let me release him!

Stop!

Betraying one`s school
is a serious violation.

This bastard,
l`ll teach him a good lesson.

Dad!

You don`t need to
beg me on his behalf!

l`ve invited some leaders here

to discuss how to
get rid of the Three Devils.

l`ll also take this chance
to reform our school!

Reform our school?

Master, you mean...

l`ll abolish all his vital energy
in front of everybody.

And show the world
my sense of justice!

Dad! Dad!

l`m so itchy!

Third Brother, l need some water.

l`m so thirsty.
Third Brother! l need some water!

Third Brother! Quick, l need water!
Third Brother, Third Brother....

What?
Better make your last wish fast!

l`m so thirsty! Give me some water!

Water, sure!

Let me give you the best water
in the world! lt`ll surely soothe you!

Come down!

l`m hung up here.

lf you don`t let me down,
how can l drink?

lt`s my fault again, eh?

No, l didn`t mean that!

Never mind, let me do it!

How`s that? Taste good?

Well, the taste is a bit strange!

That`s the water
l`ve just used to wash my feet!

Drink some more!

No!

lt`s good for your body!

Gao Jian!

Big Brother!

Go! Master wants to
abolish your vital energy!

What? Abolish my vital energy?

Today we have
all the heroes from near and far.

l appreciate all your
bravery and uprightness!

lt`s our honor to answer your call!

We are more than willing to obey!

Thank you! Thank you!

As long as we can
get rid of the Three Devils

please use us as you see fit!

Yes, yes!

May we have your good idea?

l won`t dare! Please take your seat!

Everybody knows that
Yan Qingwang, Zhou Sanzhao

and Fan San are
the parasites of our martial arts.

They are here to stir things up!

Yan Qingwang,
why are you killing my pupils?

Zhengzong,
l hear you got some men here

to discuss how to get rid of us!

So we came on our own
to see how good you are!

Good! Since you saved us
the effort of searching for you,

l`ll give you what you desire.

Come on!

You`ve only taught your apprentices

how to get beaten!

l think the words ``Decent School`` of
martial arts needs to be corrected!

To what?

To ``Deceased School``!

Three Devils, that`s going too far!

Fight!

l said FlGHT!

Master, l can`t!

My head is wounded!

My eyes are swollen!

Big Brother, you`re the best, you go!

Shi Zhengzong, it`s your turn!

Dad! Master!

Big Brother!

Dad!

Stop!

Shi Zhengzong,
you know the winner is King, right?

What else have you to say?

Your name, Thunderstorm, does
mean something in the martial arts field.

We think your place is indeed
good shelter for us!

l can`t even get enough sleep!

l`ve told you a million times!

You have to hurry up!

The customers are coming!

l`m working now!

You keep yelling at me
day and night!

Do you think you`re my dad?

Look at you,
are you a thief at night?

Thief? lf so, would l be working here?

And work like a horse?

What are you mumbling about?
What did you say?

Nothing!

lf you don`t like it here,
you`re free to leave.

Boss, look at your restaurant!

lt`s as big as a market,
but l`m the only staff here!

Why don`t you hire one more helper?

What did you say?
Who`s gonna pay for that?

You`re so ungrateful!

lf it wasn`t for me
who pitied you last year...

and kept you here,
you`d have starved to death.

Yes, oh yes! Thanks Mr. Boss!

Work fast!

Can`t take criticism?
He even talks back to me!

Did you light the fire
in the stove yet?

Light the fire?

You lazy bum!

That`s why
l woke you up early!

You`re so forgetful!

l`ll beat you up!

You good-for-nothing,
how dare you run!

Chase me!

How dare you run?

l`ll beat you up,
you can`t remember a thing!

Where is he?

Where is he?

He was here just now!

You`ll be dead if l catch you!

This is such a small place!
Where can he hide?

l`m here!

You bastard, you bastard!

l`m so mad!

Gao, how come you`re so slow?.

l`m coming! Coming!

You will have it for sure!

Yes, l`ll be right there!

Gentlemen, enjoy it!

Coming!

That way, please!

Gentlemen, have some tea!

May l take your order?

Whatever is good here, we`ll take it!

Yes, the food will be right here!

Hurry up!

Just get whatever!

Anyway, we can eat
as much as we want

when we get to
Thunderstorm`s place!

What`s the rush?

Brother Yan is really smart!

He turned Thunderstorm`s place
into his own base camp!

What about Shi Zhengzong?

That coward!

Of course he doesn`t dare fight back!

Come, a toast!

What happened?
You messed up again!

My clothes are all wet!

Stupid! Take care of
the other customers immediately!

Waiter!

Stupid!
Someone`s calling you over there!

Gentlemen, what would you like?

Get our dishes quick!

Okay, coming!

How come Brother Yan
stays at Thunderstorm`s place?

None of your bloody business!

Stupid! You messed up again?

l`ll give you a good beating! You hit me?

Get the dishes, right? l`ll go!

Waiter! Waiter! Waiter!

We`ve been waiting for ages!
We won`t come again!

Thank you! Thank you!

Gao knows nothing but how to mess up!

Waiter, waiter!

Yes, what do you want?

Refill the teapot!

Yes!

There`s no water!
What are you doing?

l`m sorry, coming soon!

Boss,
why do you have to do it yourself?

You asshole!
Where were you hiding?

l`ll beat you up!

Watch the teapot!

l don`t need your advice!
l`m telling you...

Take off, right?

Okay, l`ll take your word!

Why are you pulling me now?

Gao, are you really leaving?

Yes! But keep this in mind.

lt`s me who fired you,
not vice versa!

Oh, you asshole!

Hey, is there some gold
on the road?

lt`s you again!

Stay calm!

l just want to ask you something.

Mind your head!

Oh, you two are killing each other?

Who exactly is your Brother Yan?

Yan Qingwang!

How come he`s staying
with Thunderstorm? Tell me!

All right, all right! l`ll tell you!

Brother Jin was killed!

Yes, after Yan Qingwang
killed Jin Tianyun,

he stayed at Thunderstorm`s house!

Dad!

Second Brother, Second Brother!

Second Brother,
don`t you recognize me?

l`m the one who is always
bullied by you - Gao Jian!

Oh, it`s you!
How come you`re here?

`Cause l miss you all!

How is Master?

lt isn`t good to talk here. Let`s go in!

Brother, try these noodles!

Have some!

Third Brother, we haven`t
seen each other for a year!

You changed your profession?

lt`s a long story!
We`re now at the mercy of others!

There`s no end to our insults.

No! The situation will get better!

That`s right!

Ever since the three bastards came,

Third Brother has become the chef!

l`m the servant,
and Sister is the housekeeper!

Hey,
looks like you`ve been doing well!

You`re here to do your brothers
a good turn, aren`t you?

Shame on me,
l`m not much better than you!

What are you doing now?

Speak up, chap!

A waiter!

A waiter?

The noodles are for myself!

No wonder Master wrote you off
as a useless bum!

As the saying goes:
``You can`t change one`s nature!``

What did you say, kid?

Nothing!

Third Brother, he is teasing us!

You asshole!

You need a good beating!

Give him a good beating!

What are you guys yelling about?

Sister!

Gao Jian, when did you come back?

Just a while ago!
l heard Master has been sick!

ls it true?

What`s going on in the kitchen?
Hurry up!

Master Yan is waiting!

Coming!

All they know is rushing!

You`re rushing to your death,
asshole!

Take it out!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Sister, let me do it!

You?

l can do it!

Hey, don`t mess things up!

Big Brother, we raise a toast to you!

Come, come! Help yourself!

A toast!

This is outrageous!
Where is the food and wine?

Coming!

lt`s our honor that
Brother Yan invites us here!

We`ll do whatever you need us to do!

Come, come!

Gentlemen, help yourself!

Don`t be shy, feel free to eat!

Who are you?
Where is that woman?

She is cooking in the kitchen.

l`m the youngest
apprentice of Thunderstorm.

Youngest apprentice?

Bring that old fart here!

And see if this kid is lying!

Yes!

Lying? l`m telling you the truth.

My name is Gao Jian.

How come
l`ve never seen you before?

The reason is...

Master said that l didn`t
practice well so he kicked me out.

l just came back
to see how he was doing.

lf you release me,
l`ll pour wine for you!

Master!

Master! Are you all right?

Master, it`s Gao Jian!

Gao Jian!

Zhengzong,
is this one of your apprentices?

Yes!

Master,
so l can be your apprentice again?

Take him out.

He`s not allowed here
without my permission!

Dad, take the medicine!

What are you doing?

Big Brother died such a tragic death!
Can`t l even make him an altar?

There`s not enough space
even for the living!

Who cares about the dead one!

You...

What?

What are you guys arguing about?

Don`t you know that my dad is sick?

Brother Jin, please rest in peace!

Hey!

What are you doing here? Go away!

Master Fan,
l have a secret to tell you!

What secret?

We shouldn`t talk here.
l`ll wait for you at the hillside!

Come quick! Quickly!

Hey!

l`m here!

What secret?

You really want to know?.

Since l asked you out,
l`ll surely tell you!

Someone wants to kill you!

What? Who dares to kill me?

Say!

This man is very skillful!

l don`t think you can handle him!

Do you remember

what happened
at the pharmacy a year ago?

lt`s you?

You`re right, it`s me!

Want me to be a eunuch?

Here!

Come again!

Come up here!

Running away?

Master Yan,
Master Fan`s body is over there!

He deserved it

Who brought it in?

l don`t know!

We just stepped into the house

and saw Master Fan lying here!

Ask that old fart to come out!

Someone has already been sent!

What happened?

Master, there is a dead body there!

Come here!

Master, they`re asking for you.
Coming!

Hurry up!

lt`s Master Fan. You deserve it!

A word more
and l`ll cut out your tongue!

lt`s true. That`s what is written!

Gao Jian!

Shi Zhengzong!

Yes, Master Yan.

Who killed Fan San?

l`m sick. l`ve been in the store
room the whole time!

l haven`t stepped out!

What about your apprentices?

lf we were that skillful,

we`d have rebelled long ago!

Get out!

Okay, okay! Master,
l`ll take you to bed!

Big Brother,
Fan`s death is questionable!

Do you think that old fart did this?

That`s not possible!

The old fool
does not have the ability!

lt must be someone from the outside!

Who is there?

The killer is in the temple.

l am waiting for you!

De Mun Temple

Waiting for a long time

Very good! Very good!

lt`s better than a stage performance!

Relax

You are too slow

Watch out!

Look closely

So it`s you? You short-lived asshole!

Don`t be so mean!

Don`t you want to know
who killed Fan San?

Who is the killer?

Watch closely!

l am the killer

Why did you kill him?

Because Jin Tianyun is my friend!

Jin Tianyun!

How nasty! l`m still a virgin!

This is called ``Act like a Man``!

The way you throw darts
could be exhausting!

lt`s my fault!

lf l knew you carried
this many rusted darts,

l`d have killed you earlier!

Now you`re prepared
so it`ll be a bit harder to kill you!

You`re smart!
You`ll learn what l did to you shortly!

Now it`s my turn!

Finished?

Killed?

Dead yet?

You...

Act like a Man!

That`s what you taught me!

Go to hell!

Fan San is killed suddenly!

Who could possibly kill him?

Dad, could it be a hero

who wants to bring justice for us?

Hero?

l smell trouble!

That`s right! Now someone is dead.

Who knows how we`ll
be tortured again!

Gao, running around again?
Where have you been?

l went to pee!

Pee again? You pee all day long!

Kidney failure?

How did you know?.

How dare you! Teasing me!

No, l`m not!

Yes, you are!

Okay...yes!

Master Yan!
Master Zhou has been slain!

The body is lying in the temple!

Dad,
you don`t know who did it this time?

Brother Yan, you see! You see!

Who killed him? Who killed him?

Who did that?

Brother Yan, what should we do?

That`s right! Brother Yan,
what should we do?

What should we do?

Let`s go!

Go, go!

Wait, it`ll be dangerous
for us to stay here!

What do you mean?

lf we stay here,
we`ll be killed all the same!

l guess we should leave tomorrow!

Tomorrow? Why not now?.

The scum of martial arts

l`m sorry, did l scare you all?

How come everyone is here?

You want to flee?

Leaving Yan Qingwang here
all by himself?

He`ll be lonely!

So it`s you!

lt`s too late now to know!

No wonder you look like a pig!

Yan Qingwang, why are you so late?

You should`ve come sooner
to see my act!

You bastard! You`re good!

My brothers have died mysteriously
since you came back!

l never imagined it could be you!

With age,
a person`s reflexes slow down!

Don`t blame yourself. lt`s said...

``To err is human``,
and you`re not even human!

How`s that? Good?

What`s the relationship
between you and Jin Tianyun?

Oh...it`s a long story!

And it`s none of your business!

Let`s forget all that meaningless talk!
Come!

ls that Gao Jian?

What do you call that stance?

Good! Very good!

Stop!

Gao Jian,
will you ever obey your elders?

Yes!

Teach us the stances
you used to kill that old scum!

Don`t you fear
betraying your own school?

Of course not.
There`s only me, you and him!

Yeah! You can teach us secretly!
Nobody will know!

That`s right!

Okay!
