kung fu is more than
a system of fighting.
It's a system of thought.
you must outthink your opponent,
whatever form he takes...
because some of them
will be more than just men.
what else could it be, sifu?
we all have inner demons
to fight.
and hatred and anger.
If you don't conquer them,
then a life of a hundred years...
is a tragedy.
If you do,
a life of a single day...
can be a triumph.
don't worry.
excuse me, my son.
uh, six pints
of beer, mate.
- no.
- aw, come on.
oh, god, what about
that one there?
hello. mind if I take over?
go on, piss off!.
big boy!.
hey, look,
I'm fred astaire!.
she's a bit frisky, isn't she?
oh, yeah. come on, one, two.
oh, I love it when they fight back.
one, two, come on!
stay back. stay back.
back in-- hey, hey! back in line.
- what do you want?
- I want to dance with her.
this one's mine.
get one of your own.
she is one of my own.
hold it, lads.
leave him to me.
come on, try that again.
I'm gonna get you,
smash your face in.
try it again, huh?
hey, bob!
wanna try this?
okay.
papa!
the police were here.
they're looking for you.
- I know.
- the sailor's in hospital
with a punctured lung.
- he might die.
- he was making trouble.
he started it.
he's the nephew of the assistant
police lnspector of kowloon.
I can hide out
with my friends.
you don't have
any friends now!
the cops will be back.
I should
get out of here.
sit down.
I've thought a lot
about this...
for a very long time.
- you'll have to leave hong kong.
- for how long?
forever.
this is a joke, right?
you're joking.
listen to me, sai-fong, you'll die
in hong kong. I've seen it.
you're too superstitious,
papa.
you're a man now.
almost.
you have a right to know everything.
you had an older brother.
he died in childbirth.
the demon took him
away from us.
the firstborn man-child
is very valuable.
so when you were born,
I name you sai-fong, a girl's name.
we dress you in dresses so the demon
wouldn't know I had another son.
I made you speak english,
all so we could fool him.
but now he knows.
and he's coming for you.
you must leave tonight.
where, papa?
where can I go?
you love american movies.
you love american cars.
- you go to america.
- america?
I was in america on tour
with the canton opera company in 1940.
san francisco.
doing the drunken princess.
november 27th,
you were born.
that morning I got you
and three good reviews.
I was very proud.

certificate.
"bruce lee."
- It sounded very american.
- It sure does.
you were born there.
show this to the immigration man.
they have to let you in.
you need money
to go to america.
It's yours.
I saved it for you...
for a day like today.
I don't know
what to say.
say you'll do better.
tell me you'll make
a big noise in america...
so I can hear it
over here.
no.
- do you speak english?
- yeah.
I'm practicing my english.

I've always wanted
to go to america.
james dean.

that's what they say.
not a chinaman's chance.
they say that too.

the americans, the gwailo,
would lower chinamens...
over the cliff in baskets
to set the dynamite.
get pulled up too slow,
bang!
rope break.

americans say,
"not a chinaman's chance"...
