Even if...

to the very last heartbeat,

I have to make sure my opponent...

falls!

I can't die...

because I tell myself...

l am invincible.

Father.

Poor kid!

Boy.

- Fei! My medical box.

- Yes.

I'm back.

Eat or it'll be 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 us martial arts practitioners.

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 the Black Tiger Gang warehouse.

This worker reported it to the magistracy.

In the end, he too, disappeared.

This is the Guangzhou Pearl River delta area.

Also known as China's Marine Silk Road.

It used to be a prosperous seaward passage for foreign trade.

But with the Qing Dynasty maritime trade ban and the Opium War,

former glory was lost forever.

This warehouse belongs to the Black Tiger Gang.

They and the North Sea Gang dominate the pier.

The two gangs fought for many years...

for the rights to control the pier...

and monopolize the lucrative foreign trade.

Besides the business from the pier,

they also own 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!

Additional 100 workers!

Hiring!

Pay your dues and you 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 to report to the magistracy?

- What's there to see?

- Get lost!

Go. Get lost!

The Black Tiger Gang has three honchos.

This is the bloodthirsty. First Tiger.

Go! Get lost!

This gang-controlled pier...

is the foreign traders' paradise...

but an inferno for 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'll 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?

My senior asked me to replace him to see the Master.

It's a chance for me to widen my eyes.

And I... have decided...

to become the Forth Tiger of the Black Tiger Gang.

You know why the gang master wants to see us?

This... is a promise I made to my Brother.

Master, the daredevil warriors are here.

They are the best junior chiefs who've been with us for more than five years.

Greetings to you, Master!

How dare you betrayed the gang and burnt our laborer boat?

Tell us the names of your conspirators.

Perhaps the Master would spare your life!

No way!

I'll never betray my buddies!

You kidnapped and sold us workers to the foreigners as forced labor.

It's god-forbidden!

We're not paid to be sold as cheap goods.

We're flesh and blood, with wives and families, not your...

There's a price to be a hero.

Why didn't you duck?

Because I am not afraid.

Why aren't you afraid?

Just not afraid.

Grant tea!

Drink up!

Whoever can bring me back the head of North Sea Gang master...

will be doing the Gang a distinguished service.

Whoever achieves this, I will break the gang rule...

and take him as my forth adopted son!

We swear to bring back the head of the North Sea Gang master!

North Sea Gang master.

If I don't kill you today,

I won't leave 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 doctor to nurse him back.

None of you can bring me the head of that North Sea Gang master.

Either you're taking it easy...

or focus too much time on fighting each other.

You've lost the killer instinct he has!

Yes!

Master is right!

Congratulations on taking another adopted son!

Congratulations on taking another adopted son!

Hang the severed head on the arch.

Let everybody know who is in control of the pier now!

Yes!

You can't die! Can't die just like that.

Not easy for you to get such a position.

These wounds would be been worthless!

I'm lucky.

After all, I can have a decent meal.

You have to get well no matter what!

Yeah.

Why waited for me?

You've saved me once, remember?

On the ninth of last month at the theatre.

You forgot?

- You've mistaken.

- No way!

You look so ugly. I can't possibly make a mistake.

Anyway, we're buddies now!

I always want to follow a tough guy, and be 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 well, don't talk too 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 let go of my daughter! I beg you!

Mom!

Please let her go!

Move!

I'll kill you!

That's the head of North Sea Gang master!

No.

- Don't.

- Father, forgive me...

for not being a filial son.

Young Master.

I swear...

to avenge your death!

My father has been killed by the Black Tiger Gang.

And you offer all business of your five ships to them?

The North Sea Gang has never had any problems before.

Even the opium dens followed your rules.

What is the meaning of this?

You've no regards for principles of the underworld?

I don't know the rules of your underworld.

The struggle between you and Black Tiger Gang.

We don't care. Whoever has leverage here,

the foreign traders will do business with them.

Alright!

You'll see!

Young Master.

You've been burnt?

When I was young,

scars are for life!

It must be god's will!

This scar looks just like a tiger!

You're now the gang's adopted son.

On a par with North Evil, Black Crow, Old Snake...

to help Master take care of business at the pier.

The opium den, gambling parlor, courtesan boat...
