One-Armed Boxer

1

Come in.

Good morning. You're early.

You have a rare bird there.

It was imported from Thailand.

You can't get one here.

What will you drink?

Tea.

A pot of tea.

Come in.

Good morning, Master Ma.

That's my table.

I didn't know that.

I'll go then.

Not so easy.

This bird matches mine perfectly.

Leave it and go.

Mr. Ma, I'm not selling the bird.

He glad I'm so easy on you.

How can you be so unreasonable?

The Hook gang is making trouble.

Ma, don't go too far.

Mind your own business, Yu.

It's daylight robbery.

I know you're from Ching Te School.

But our Hook gang aren't weaklings.

Just return the bird.

Get him.

Come to the valley and we'll fight.

I'll be waiting.

They're here.

Hurry.

Yu, our two groups aren't enemies.

Why did you hurt my man?

You're a bunch of bullies.

I'll teach you a lesson.

There's no way out but to fight.

You're all thugs.

Get him.

Run.

What if Teacher finds out?

Let me take the blame.

Hsiung Kang.

As the eldest,

you should teach them.

Now they've gotten into trouble.

Yes. The Dyeing and Brick factories

took up all my time, unfortunately

Tien Lung, you train hardest.

I never thought you'd pick fights.

Martial arts is important

but character is even more so.

Don't use your strength to bully.

Yes, sir.

But the Hook gang went too far.

I couldn't allow daylight robbery.

You did the right thing.

But the fight afterwards.

Was that an act of chivalry?

I was too rash.

Their leader Chao runs

drugs and women.

He has his eyes on our factories.

This isn't the end of the matter.

You know they're villains.

People must act with reason.

Tien Lung will be punished.

Besides,

our own people were hurt too.

Place the joss sticks.

Tien Lung.

Yes.

You'll clean the altar for 3 days.

and kneel for 1 day.

You'll take 3 strokes too.

Go practice in front.

Idiots. You've disgraced our name.

How did the fight start?

He insisted on having our table.

An argument led to a fight.

I challenged him to a duel.

There's no enmity between us.

Why did Han Tui let his pupil loose?

Tien Pao.

Who's the one responsible?

Yu Tien Lung.

Yu? No wonder you lost.

Among the old man's students

he's the strongest and wiliest.

Let say

Teacher.

The fellow said...

Go on.

Did he insult us?

He said he'd teach you a lesson.

The nerve. Even Han Tui respects me.

How dare be insult me?

Bring my weapon. Assemble the men.

I'll go and redeem our honor.

Mr. Chao, what a surprise.

Han Tui, your students are wild.

He's being punished.

We were going to come and apologies.

You talk nicely.

What?

Your student hurt my men.

and insulted my honor.

I'd like to see how.

Mr. Chao, it can't be true.

My student wouldn't insult you.

You needn't protect him.

You'll hand him to me, or...

Or what?

We'll see who is the stronger.

Our methods may be different

but all schools have one principle.

Besides, we're neighbors.

Why break the peace?

It's easier said than done.

Mr. Chao

Will you hand him over?

I've already punished him.

So you won't hand him over?

Teacher.

My apologies.

We'll fight.

Stop.

Using hidden dirks is treacherous.

Nobody is a good loser.

You'll regret this.

Let's go.

Never mind.

Second brother.

It's you. I thought it was Teacher.

What was the noise about?

I came to tell you.

Chao came for you.

Teacher refused and a fight ensued.

What happened?

Teacher was stabbed with

a hidden dirk.

It's only a scratch.

Teacher almost crippled him

but he said he'd be back.

Never. But I got Teacher into it.

There will be more trouble.

Tien Pao.

You made us lose our honor.

I'm determined to get revenge.

No once went to Shanghai.

to see the northern military chief.

I hear they employ top fighters.

I'll get their help against Han Tui.

Well done.

Come inside

sit down.

As mentioned in our letter

we hope your teacher will come.

He's coming from Okinawa.

He'll be here in a couple of days.

Wonderful. Let me introduce you.

This is our boss.

Chang Ku Chuan and Pan Tien Ching.

This is judo expert Kao Chiao.

Chin Chi Yung, Taikwondo expert.

Ni Tsai and Mi Su of Thailand.

Yoga expert, Mura Singn of India.

How do you do?

With you around, we'll win for sure.

Teacher, a visitor from Okinawa.

That's our teacher.

Hurry, let him in.

This is our boss.

Please sit down.

Please sit down.

As chief of Okinawa's martial arts

you came such a long way.

I'm truly grateful.

Enough.

I've heard of Chinese boxing.

When am I going to try it?

You've had a rough trip.

It's nothing to a fighter.

Hardships are part of training.

Old Han is tough and has many men.

We're waiting for two lamas

so we can all move together.

No, Teacher means he's invincible.

I want action. Never mind lamas.

Never insult Tibetan martial arts.

Let's talk it over.

you came so far to serve me.

Please listen to me.

Sit down.

I've more to discuss than a fight.

We've run opium for many years

but we're plagued by bandits.

After the fight, I hope you'll stay

and help me with consignments.

The income from the operations

will be split 60/40.

You'll each get 400,000.

Ching Te runs the brick

and dyeing factory.

We'll work on their brick factory.

This is what they produce.

See if they're customers.

Right.

Are you here to buy bricks?

What are you doing?

I hear Ching Te men can fight.

I came to see if it's true.

Surround them.

We've customers. Go and see.

The cashier's inside. Please.

Someone killed Hsiao San.

Hold it.

The Hook gang brought them.

Go and tell Hsiung and Yu.

Ma Mu Tao, did you bring them?

Brother Yu.

They just left.

After them.

Yu Tien Lung. Lure him inside.

It's a dead end. After them.

Strange. There's no other way out.

Look around.

He's wounded. Finish him.

Let's go.

So much trouble in one day.

Chang and Li are dead.

The factories and finished.

The Hook gang is behind it.

Luckily Tien Lung escaped.

How the Hook gang has hired killers

to attack and kill us

they have always been bullies

and run opium and brothels.

After we prepare the funeral

we'll seek revenge.

Never mind.

Chao, you came at the rights time.

I came to repay the debt.

You're vicious.

Said I'd litter

your place with bodies.

No you don't.

Let's wait and see.

I'll pay you back with interest.

This is the chief from Okinawa.

His pupils Chang Ku Chuan

and Pan Tien Ching.

Judo expert Kao

and Taikwondo chief Chin.

Also lamas Cho Lung and Cho Fu.

Yoga expert Mura Singh.

Iron Foot Ni Tsai

and Bronze Foot Mi Su.

You've said Chinese boxing is great.

Now you'll test other martial arts.

Chao, you're a disgrace to China.

You've killed so many.

If you hadn't come,

I'd have found you.

Do your worst.

We'll fight to the death.

Go on, Hsiung.

Master Chin.

Take him away.

Te, go on.

Brother Chin, you may retire.

Kao Chiao.

I'll go.

Teacher, let me go.

It's a duel to the death.
