Life is so full of tough choices

I'm going to report this

to the County Magistrate

I can't let Xin find the treasure

and run off with the Moustache

Yup, can't just let her run off like that

But wait...

what if Xin finds out it was

I who ruined her plan?

Would she hate me?

This is fate!

I am left with no choice!

But on the other hand

I am the Mayor of this town,

I am obligated to report this

Every man has his venom

I will announce to all the officials that

there's a treasure hidden in Side road Town

And I will let Xin know that...

I am her greatest treasure!

Pick it up, we can barbeque the pigeon

There's a message attached to it

What does it say, Chief?

There is treasure hidden in Side road Town

Send over support immediately

Side road Town

Pass this message to every branch

Tell them we're going on a treasure hunt

Sir...

Your forehead is dark

and your face is fierce

I fear that imminent

danger will fall upon you,

must be cautious...

Shut up, you darn head!

Don't you know there's a treasure here?

I'm here to seek my fortune

Curse me again,

and I'll gouge out your eyeballs

The fate is written,

nothing can be changed

According to the map

we are at Side road Town

Once we cross Mount Cloud,

we'll reach the Black Lake

This should be where the treasure is

The map only points out a rough direction

That red spot covers a huge area

I think it should probably be... here!

Are there any other clues on the map?

The Generals shall leave

"The Three Fortunes"

So...

Look at that rock!

Doesn't it look like a huge peach?

It does...

The word "Prosperity" is engraved on it

What prosperity?

The Three Fortunes,

Prosperity... peach represents Long Life

We're missing Health

It comes between Prosperity and Long Life

Health... what about a green tree?

Does that work?

If you use a little imagination

and shift the characters around a bit

the tree would look like the word Health

But what does it all mean?

There is treasure

Men die in search of wealth

It is no longer safe to be here...

A bunch of beggars...

It ain't easy to survive

They won't achieve much

True that...

Hello...

You're here, too

Chu!

My dear cousin

How is your wife?

She's doing fine

What brings you here?

I hear there's a treasure

hidden here somewhere

Treasure?

Jackie Chan, I have finally found you

You killed my family and took all our money

An eye for an eye, you shall pay your debt

I'm not Jackie Chan, you're

mistaking me as someone else

Don't deny it,

I'd recognize that nose anywhere

I'm Jackie Tang!

You...

Hey Bro!

He's not Chan, he's Tang!

Jackie Tang?

And who are you?

Mind your own business

What did you just say to me?

Mr. Lau, I think Jackie Chan is over there

Where's Jackie Chan?

Here!

You're all Jackie Chan?

Yes!

You guys got nothing better to do?

Why are you all dressed up like me?

Why would we want to dress up like you?

I am famous for my nose!

Jackie Chan's nose is way bigger!

But I've never had any work done

Ours is genuine, too!

Mr. Lau, we better figure this out first

Stop imitating me

Idolizing me is good,

but this is too much!

Jackie Tang, I don't recall

your nose being this big

I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan

I think you're trying to be Jackie Chan

Ricky, I think they're

trying to be Jackie Tang

Not too long ago

they had completely different hairstyle

That's correct!

You're wrong!

No, you're wrong!

I'm right, Tang is copying Chan!

What's the fuss? Jackie Chang?

No, it's Jackie Cheng!

Jackie Cheng?

That sounds familiar...

It's that dude who always

mumbles through his songs

Which one is it?

Let's have an autograph

No

I'm the one who mumbles through songs

Geeze... stop imitating me...

Hey, that looks cool!

Hey, show some more

respect to your seniors

Please, your glorious days are over!

Please, your glorious days are over!

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you're out of style!

Who are you to judge?

Nobody understands what you're singing

Can you mumble

through your songs like me?

Let me be the judge, go on, sing!

Let me be the judge, go on, sing!

Who are you? Get outta here!

I told you to listen to me,

and you wouldn't

You're in serious trouble now,

the Imperial Army is here

They're gonna kick your butts!

On your set, butts, go!

Who dares to block my way?

I am the Mayor of this town

What's a Mayor?

You're too stupid to know

I'm an officer appointed by

the Ming Government

What are you?

We're the invading Manchurian Army

So, you're the Mayor?

Order everyone to come out and surrender

Surrender!

Move

Move!

Let's go.

Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far

Uh... I guess my pigeon flew a bit too far

I had no idea you'd travel

all the way out here...

Are the Persians joining us, too?

I better learn more language

Hmm... which language should I start with...

What's the next line?

When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive

Everyone inside listen up,

lay down your weapons

Hand over the treasure,

and surrender immediately

Surrender immediately!

We don't even know where the treasure is!

We're handing in crap!

There are so many caves

This place is like a maze

Which one should we go?

When the Three Stars turn, luck will arrive

So...

Here, hold this

Didn't you say the map looks

different when it's placed in water?

There's water here, let's give it a try

If you don't come out and surrender,

we'll kill everyone

Kill everyone!

Listen to me, we shouldn't be

fighting amongst ourselves

Let's join forces and

defeat them, follow me!

Na-Lan

I have indeed found what I'm looking for

I have indeed found what I'm looking for

Changgong

I will prove to everyone today

I am truly

the Supreme Master of Martial Arts!

Wow, these characters look beautiful!

But what do they mean?

Hey, college boy

Can you tell me what they say?

E, S, W, N

What does it mean?

East, South, West, North

The Three Stars do not go upside down...

The Three Stars do not go upside down

What?

The game of east south west north

I used to play it all the time when I was a kid

Three Stars... upside down...

Could it mean the direction here?

It's three in the afternoon now

so the east would be there

Take six steps east, 1... 2... 3...

It works!

I'm so clever!

You already are the Supreme Master

Haven't I lost to you already?

I don't want a fake reputation

I have to defeat you with my sword

We should have left the maze by now

This map is amazing

Wei, how did you figure it out?

I'm good at anything,

as long as I don't need to use my head

There's more ahead...

Na-Lan disobeyed my orders

by heading in first

So what if he's superior in Martial Arts

It's the age of firearm

Bring out the cannon!

I'll show them what supreme power is!

Light the torch

What is this?

Some sort of trap

What's the next line in the song?

Big changes shall fall upon us now

Is that related to this?

Yes, I think so

It may have something

to do with these characters
