My Worst Nightmare
Sir, your bag...
Sorry.
Yi, help this gentleman move
his bag up onto the rack.
Sure!
Er, give this lady a hand.
Thank you, little boy, thank you.
Dad, should I move his legs up there too?
Take a seat... take a seat...
Let's go.
Thank you, thank you.
Boys, stay right here
and stay out of trouble!
Brother, I'm going to the toilet.
Stay out of trouble!
My chickens... my chickens...
My chickens...
Up there...
Here... here...
'Madam, don't worry,
I'll get them back for you.
Thank you.
Give me the stick.
Okay.
In trouble again?
Dad! Look, chicken!
Dad, here you are!
Are we really moving
in with dad this time?
We packed all our clothes,
so I guess so.
That's great! Is it fun there?
Actually I don't remember that much.
I remember that there
were lots of people. Right?
That's 'cos it's a school.
Mom taught there, and I was born there.
How about me?
I don't remember.
What else do you remember?
I only remember that
mom's grave is there.
Hey, let's play paper frogs.
Okay.
This is mine...
Watch me. One, two...
It's my turn. Watch me...
That doesn't count...
In a wushu school, you will learn wushu.
Here, what we value is not
just your fighting skills,
Luckily we weren't late,
otherwise we'd be punished too.
Even more, we value the determination
and passion to learn and improve.
So, discipline is of utmost importance.
Not being punctual, for example,
indicates a lack of will
power and determination.
It's you! I'm going to report you!
Where are they?
Move, you too.
And you!
You having fun?
See the two who are being punished?
The one in front is the older one.
Like father like son.
You still remember?
You were the only one being
punished... doing pressups.
In those days, there
were only a few students,
You couldn't fart without
Now, amongst hundreds of students,
they still get caught... useless!
Welcome...
You owe me one!
Hi, have you eaten yet?
Why did you get me into trouble?
Pay me the frog...
Here it is, now it's worth a lot more.
Air-dried frog, it's a kind
That's funny...
Mouse!
There's a mouse?
There's a mouse! A mouse!
Run...
What do you call that move you just made?
My name is Yang Yauwu, I'm from Beijing.
My name is Zhang Deming,
you can call me Zhang.
My name is Li Yi, he's Li Er.
My name is Fong Fong.
Take it away...
Peiyi, they're both here now.
Zhang Ting said the younger
one looks just like you.
He even behaves like you...
asking everything about anything.
I can't help but love
him a little bit more.
The older one is more introverted,
like me. You needn't worry about them.
They've both got
potential in martial arts.
Now, that they are studying here,
they'll be able to visit you often.
Peiyi, I'm here too.
Wushu is a form of art.
It is not for attacking or hurting others.
The meaning of Wushu...
Wushu means the art of combat
To find the art form within combat
and combat within the art form,
to express personality and
emotions through movement.
They are your seniors
in the faculty of wushu.
He specializes in the sword,
and the other two
specialize in Chang Quan.
In wushu, winning or
losing has no meaning.
The four basic components of wushu are...
speed,
arial awareness,
balance and flexibility.
Additional credits are given for
creating new and difficult moves.
Do you have any question?
Mr. Li, how do you know who's the
winner when they're not fighting anyone?
Even though you're not fighting anyone,
those of you who chose wushu,
will also have chosen
your life's opponent...
yourself!
Each time you compete, you must
better your last performance.
Fong, I've never seen you buy any snacks.
Don't you like snacks?
Doggie...
Should we feed it?
Move off...
What's happening?
I'm taking it away, dogs
are not allowed in the school.
Doggie, hurry up... hurry up...
Yes, he looks like my uncle.
He often cooks dog meat for us.
Do you think he is
going to cook the puppy?
No way!
Doggie, run... quick...
Doggie's gone...
You rascals! I'll report to your teacher.
And ask her to teach you a lesson!
It will look for food if it is hungry.
I miss him, I must find him.
Right, let's find him!
The grass is so tall, I can't see.
The doggie's over there.
Do you think it fell into the lake?
No way,
the lake's frozen.
Look!
It found this place.
Wow! How did he manage to jump inside?
What is this place?
It's the doggie's home.
No!
This is the home of a
great martial arts master.
He created an invincible
style of fighting,
yet there was one move he
just couldn't figure out...
he didn't eat... he didn't even
drink coke... he kept thinking...
He sent a message by pigeon
to ask his master for help.
the 'mistress of Tien-shan'.
So, this place is now...
This is the headquarters
of our league of justice.
Yes, to fight crimes, take from
the rich and give to the poor.
Yauwu, what should we call ourselves?
Jing Wu Men
No way, Bruce Lee started Jing Wu Men.
We're all learning martial arts,
and we'll be winning lots of gold medals.
Let's call it Jin Wu
Men, the Gold Medals Gang
Great, long live Jin Wu Men!
What are you doing?
Stop...
Yes...
Stop!
Run
I love eating, I thought
of being a cook once.
Why didn't you?
Dad, at school, what
did you specialize in?
Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing).
Why don't you teach sanda?
I want to choose sanda.
I didn't think it through
when I made my choice.
My classmates told me it was
not right, as I had a bad temper.
I didn't listen.
Once, in anger, I broke the
rules and hurt an opponent badly.
The headmaster wanted to expel me.
What happened?
Two classmates stood outside
his room for a whole day.
Begging him to forgive me.
When I returned, I changed to wushu.
Those two must have
been really good friends.
One of them was your mom.
How's the fire going?
We can't get it going.
And you? What are you
thinking of choosing?
I don't know the difference yet.
Sanda is like... lighting a
match, there must be friction.
And very quickly there is fire.
As for wushu, it's
more like stoking a fire.
You can't rush it, you must
have patience and give it space.
Next, to perform for us are
for the provincial team tryouts.
Yang Yauwu.
Li Yi.
Li Er.
Fong Fong.
Zhang Deming.
Jin Wu Men!
were picked out to be punished.
Now, they've been picked
to represent the school.
Next to perform
- Fong Fong, Li Yi, Yang Yauwu.
Master.
Don't call me master here.
You were great just now!
You guys did well too.
Except the somersault
could have been higher
Got it? Yes, got it.
Okay, go now.
The next performer is Yuen Chung,
performing broad sword.
He's good!
Forward somersault followed by
back somersault, that's tough.
Yi has a rival on his hands.
