"In the year 1730, during the reign of the Emperor Yung Cheng," "One of the early emperors of the Manchu Ching Dynasty many kung fu experts were recruited by the Emperor" "to suppress and kill the supporters of the former Ming Dynasty." "These experts were trained to use that fearsome weapon" "The Flying Guillotine." "Many fell to this new weapon." "Those who escaped - went into hiding." "It was to seek these remaining rebels out and kill them that the Manchu government sent a noted master of the flying guillotine, Fung Sheng Wu Chi" "to keep surveillance on all Han revolutionists and kill them if appropriate" "Fung, who was blind, disguised himself as a Buddhist Lama and lived in a mountain retreat with his two disciples" "Chow-lung." "Chow-fu." "One-armed man!" "Master Fung-sheng, if you receive this message" "It will mean that both of us are dead" "Carved on the tile is a an image of a one armed man" "Teacher, he will have killed us and he is a Ming revolutionary" "We are now setting out to kill him But because of his great skill," "We fear that he may kill us." "If you receive this message, then please avenge your two disciples!" "Chow-lung, Chow-fu." "You'll be avenged!" "You sacrificed your lives for the great Ching Dynasty" "I swear that I will kill that One Armed Man and avenge you both!" "All bow." "Go out and practice!" " Dhirng Yung" " Brother!" "Come here!" "Today I'm going to teach you something new - the technique of jumping" "Now you show us." "Nowthat is the basic step." "Then follows the second step" "This involves the control of breath" "So as to lighten your weight" "All right, empty out the stones." "Breathe much deeper." "Alright!" "Nowthen, know why that was?" "Not concentrating on your breathing." "As you can see, you've a long way to go." "Now when you can do that, walk right around the edge." "you've passed the second stage."

"Teacher, if you enter you're bound to win!" "Everyone knows of the One Armed Boxer" "Showthem your kung fu and we shall share in your victory" "Right!" "Yes, please go!" "We study kung fu for spiritual health, not to gain fame or fortune" "Besides, we have our own objectives" "The Ching Government is on the look-out for us" "I hope none of you will risk entering" "There will be many experts, we could learn from them" "Please let's go!" "There's truth in that we could learn a lot." "We mustn't draw the attention from the government but I've no objection about just observing the tournament" "Shields and Clubs!" "Are you the President of this tournament?" "Yes that's right." "I am Wu Chang Sheng and President of this tournament." "If you're the President, I'd like to ask you why I can't enter the tournament?" "The rules are quite specific though there is no territorial restriction but the fact is you are a foreigner therefore, I must obey the rules." "Sorry" "Sorry." "My ass." "Everyone entering has to sign a life contract because you're a foreigner if anything happens, I can't be responsible!" "I have come a long way here just to fight here." "I don't give a damn about any life contracts!" "Right!" "If you can demonstrate to me that you have some degree of skill" "Well there should be no more problem." "You kick well!" "I want to try Eagle Claws kung fu!" "Shields and clubs!" "Hold it!" "Let me try now!" "Daughter, you're not good enough!" "Father, don't worry." "I can take care of myself!" "Hold it!"

"Japanese tournament contestant "Win Without a Knife" Y. Yakuma" "Your room is on the second floor." "Porter, take him up." "Yes!" "When the Government received news Of the tournament" "They were afraid that the rebel Ming supporters Might choose the opportunity to stage an uprising." "So they ordered Fung Sheng to investigate and to kill any rebels he discovered there." "Fung enlisted the aid of some of the foreign contestants" "It was clear the tournament was destined to be a bloody affair!" "Give me two more bottles of wine!" "Yes Sir!" "I'm hungry, get me some food!" "Come this way!" "Just step in Sir!" " Waiter!" " Jasmine tea!" "Sir." "Coming!" "Sorry!" "Please this way Sir." "What would you like?" "Vegetarian noodles."

"What's this?" "You leaving?" "Without paying your bill?" "And what if I haven't paid." "Do you know who I am?" "Who are you?" "Damn you, you don't know who I am?" "Listen, I happen to be the famous One Armed Boxer!" "I killed seven!" "You fool, isn't this proof enough!" "Today I killed seven with one blow." "Did you ever hear of anyone doing that?" "Alright, where's the seven men you killed then?" "Well, they weren't actually men, they were flies!" "Oh no!" "Someone's been murdered" "Was he the One Armed Boxer?" "No, he was just a bum!" "I don't care who he was." "I intend to kill every one armed man that I come across here!" "Daddy, are you looking for me?" "Sit down!" "There are some foreigners in this tournament and I have no idea about their kung fu!" "There's no mercy in the ring" "I fear you will get a better opponent!" "That's something I don't want to see." "Why do you worry?" "Shao-Tieh, if I hadn't stopped that Thai could you have taken his kicks?" "If you are chosen to fight with him" "Take extra care!" "Daddy, how come!" "You always put me down!" "I have been in the fighting world for many years" "O.K., I'll take your advice!" "I let you do what you wish." "You know I love you, but I'm a big girl." "Is the One Armed Boxer coming?" "Is he invited?" "He had an invitation but till now I've had no reply!" "But still, that's not conclusive." "I think he will come even if it's just to watch." "Everyone knows the One Armed Boxer and it would be great if he comes!" "Just to show himself here." "Master, everything is ready for the tournament now." "Good!" "Pass the word around." "Tell them we shall start tomorrow." "The tournament begins!" "Contestants ready!" "Contestants ready!" "Fight One!" "The contestants are:" "On my left - Long spear Chang Chia Yu!"

"Are you one of the Ching Killers?" "Yes!" "Flying Guillotine Fung Sheng Wu Chi!" "Good!" "I finally get to see the notorious Flying Guillotine" "You've killed senselessly." "Did your masters tell you to do this?" "Yes, they did." "Now listen, the One Armed Boxer killed my disciples, and I've come here to seek revenge for both of them." "You are a vicious bastard!" "You've killed innocent people in this tournament for no reason." "I intend to make sure you won't do it again." "You get out of my way!" "You old has-been!" "I want that One Armed Boxer and nobody is gonna stop me!" "Father!" "Gather around!" "I'm sorry." "Although we're a new school we're going to have to close, temporarily." "Why?" "Teacher, why should we close?" "Can't you guess?" "You saw that senseless killing." "Saw it, we all saw it!" "The man with the guillotine." "He was sent here by the Chings." "To murder all the kung fu experts here." "Pay attention!" "I suspect that he may very well soon pay a visit to our school." "In that case, a great many of you could be killed." "And I wouldn't want that to happen." "Teacher, he's got to be stopped!" "Teacher!" "We must defeat him!" "Listen here, I have something to say" "Let me tell you something about that man" "Until recently, he had two assistants both tough men." "They were both ruthless killers." "A few months ago, the two of them tried to kill me." "However, it didn't quite work out." "Ever since I killed those two disciples, I've expected this." "But I never expected him to show up at the tournament." "When he killed that one armed Hsien Hsing after the fight." "I think he was after me, but got the wrong man!" "Brother, we're learning kung fu!" "We can't hide for the rest of our lives" "Anyway, you're the One Armed Boxer!" "Who says we have to hide?" "A man who always escapes is weak-minded!" "A man who depends on kung fu is a foolish warrior!" "These kinds of men are not our idols" "The main fundamental of kung fu is to act wise and brave" "Since we have not yet found a good plan," "We must try and avoid being killed and wounded!" "The only solution is to protect ourselves." "There's nothing to do here" "Go back to the main school and tell them to disband" "I have heard of your name for a long time, but you didn't enter the tournament so I have to come here." "You've come at the wrong time." "I've just closed the school down." "That so?" "Trying to escape?" "The Flying Guillotine will not let you go" "I have got somebody to bring the blind man here" "In fact, he should be here any minute." "You bastard, I'll fix you!" "Brother, you get them out of here." "Quick!" "That's him!" "The one who was talking!" "Does he think he can escape?" "Who are you?" "I'm "Win Without a Knife" Y. Yakuma." "This roof fell." "I saved your life." "So you saved me?" "But my father?" "Dead." "Those who are dead can never return." "So there's no point in crying." "Think of something else." "I already have." "And I can think of nothing else." "All I want to do is to take revenge on that blind man." "Well don't bother." "You aren't good enough." "Better come with me." "We'II go to Japan." "Go with you, why should I?" "You fight quite well." "I could teach you my kung fu." "You shall be my first female student!" "You've got potential." "You must be joking." "That isn't my decision." "I won't go!" "You might not have a choice." "Get some rest." "I'm going to get some food." "Miss Wu!" "Who's there?" "Don't be frightened!" "It's me, the Teacher Yu Tieh Lun!" " The One Armed B..." " Shh!" "Just outside Clearwater Town is a cave." "If you go through the cave, there's a house in the clearing." "Go and hide there." "After I get my students away from this place I'll meet you there." "Right!" "Pay your respects to Saint Kwan." "The enemy will be here soon." "You go now" "As soon as I have a plan, I will get in touch." "You better leave by the back gate." " Sir!" "I guess you've come here to fight." "I'm sorry, it's not convenient." "The One Armed Boxer is a one winged chicken." "When is convenient, eh?" "There's a Chinese saying" "To kill a coward is easier than trying to find a way to insult him." "You're going to be sorry you did that!" "I smell blood." "The Indian." "He's dead." "He can't escape." "He's somewhere around this area, I know it." "Miss Wu?" "My brother is back!" "Brother, are you hurt bad?" "Nothing serious, I'II be alright." "But that Indian gave me quite a bit of trouble." "I nearly got caught." "Miss Wu, are you alright?" "Yes, thanks." "I feel much better now!" "Good." "You stay here as long as you want." "Hsieh Yung, the students get away alright?" "Sure." "I sawthem off." "They should be clear by now." "Good." "Come inside and we'll have a talk." "Brother Yu, what are you thinking about?" "I was thinking that the bamboo is very tough and even an axe can break chopping it!" "Why are you thinking about that?" "Inside the Flying Guillotine there's a ring of knives which can't be thicker than an axe." "That's how we will destroy it." "Really?" "Yes!" "Let's gather my disciples to discuss a plan!" "Blacksmith, do you have my order ready?" "Yes Sir!" "Thanks." "Good day." "You want a large coffin or a small one?" "I don't want either." "I want to hire this place." "Hire a coffin shop?" "O.K!" "I think I've got the answer, that's why I've called you here." "But still, whether my plan can stop the Flying Guillotine Remains to be seen." "The strength of the Guillotine lies in its impetus." "Once that spinning force develops, It's almost impossible to stop it." "The first part of the plan is to get rid of that foreign Killer Nai Men" "Then we can tackle the Guillotine." "And that's where I expect you men to come in." "Somehow you've got to get him to come to this place." "Hey, he's coming now!" "Come on!" "Go to the inn and you'll find a blind man" "Bring him out to the cave." "Quickly!" "Light it!" "Hope you got thick skin on your feet." "Open up!" "Teacher, were you hurt?" "I'm alright!" "But my feet couldn't have stood much more." "Take the body away." " Sir!" "I don't want any of you killed" "So get on the other side of the hills and just wait there." "Go!" "Yu, I won't go I want to stay here with you!" "Why?" "I want to see you avenge my father's death!" "No, if you stay here I can't concentrate" "We might be killed together!" "Alright, let's settle it." "Let's see who's the best." "I guessed that you might come." "But I'm afraid you've chosen an inconvenient time." "I saved her life." "If she comes with me, then I'll leave right away." "But otherwise " "Before the blind man comes, I'll have killed you!" "You did save me and I owe you my life." "But I'm not coming." "That's that!" "Miss Wu." "It's no use trying to reason with him." "Get back." "We're nearly there!" "Get inside." "I'll use the bamboo!" "Come on!" "I've waited long enough for this!"
