"Of all the many Kung Fu styles that have been developed in various parts of china the one recognized as being the most difficult and most deadly is the Tai Chi technique." "Anyone who wishes to learn it, must devote his life to it." "And must start as a child, preferably at the age of 3." "He must bathe in the secret lotions, take the special pills, and hold to a rigorous diet for 30 years." "The earth's fundamental forces are tapped via the 8 octagrams." "The whole body is in balance." "A change in emphasis in one part of the body, will affect a countering change in another part." "The routines are incredibly difficult to learn." "And few either qualify or have the strength to learn Tai Chi Kung Fu." "The first step is to concentrate all energy in the head to lighten the body." "After that, more weight is concentrated in the feet to promote stability." "Finally, all parts of the body are coordinated and fused so that it acts like a single but complex muscle." "The result is fantastic strength and control." "Every ounce of the body's strength can be transformed instantaneously to one single part." "Of the very few who come to achieve this style, have fingers that become like steel, their feet steady as rock, with kicks that are like thunderbolts, and fists that can break stones." "When Tai Chi is mastered, the body changes too." "The voice becomes high in pitch and strange to the ear." "The hair loses color, and becomes like snow." "The character becomes volatile, to match the body's speed." "And the body while retaining it's subtlety, becomes impenetrable and impervious to weapons." "He who would attack the Tai Chi Kung Fu must expect to die." "No normal fighter has ever beaten the technique and many have died trying." "And yet, the Tai Chi expert is not completely invulnerable." "There is always one weak point both in the learner and in the master." "With the body's 108 strategic points, the vulnerable point can be moved at will." "Sometimes to the soles of the feet, sometimes to the throat or armpit." "Yet, out of reflex or habit the Tai chi expert will usually tend to use the same place in moments of stress to place the weak point." "A habit which could be fatal." "Come here!" "Oh please, I beg you!" "Won't you please let us both go!" "I swear, I'll repay the favor!" "We've our orders and they're quite clear:" "To take you back to Chin Yin Shan." "No, I won't go there simply to die." "Your chiefs are much too cruel." "Well, you're going there" "Master Chin is waiting." "Move it!" "Dad...." "Brother Look, let's stop them!" "Forget it!" "Dad!" "Brother, we've got to do something." "Master has said not to get into fights." "And he also said to help the weak." "Well now, didn't he?" "Let senior brother decide." "But Look!" "Those cruel bastards!" "Get up, take the sword!" "Because we don't like fighting an unarmed man." "No, because 20 years ago I swore a great oath." "I would rather die than take up my sword again." "Garbage, pick it up!" "I won't!" "Damn you!" "Come on, let's help them." "Right." "Hey Brother!" "You must wanna die...." "I want you to stop this." "Listen, keep out of it." "You'll only get hurt." "And that's very good advice but it comes a little too late." "Stop this!" "Brothers, stop!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "Uncle...." "Uncle..." "Uncle, its bad." "Some of our men are fighting with the two Hei Pai killers." "It's awful!" "Well, Let's go!" "Right!" "Come on..." "Hold it!" "Teacher" "Teacher" "Teacher..." "Why do you two men, want to bully these people?" "Do you think that's a fair thing to do?" "We're from Chin Yin Shan, where fairness means nothing." "I've heard much about you, they say you're tough...." "I wanna see if the rumors are right." "You'll regret this, cause today is the day you die!" "We'll see!" "Uncle, catch!" "Well alright Tien Ta Chun, I admit you're better than us... we Hei Pai killers admit defeat." "But you'll pay for this with your life." "That I promise you!" "Right!" "Ming Tu, why did this happen?" "Why didn't you stop your brothers?" "I've told you so many times" "All that you're taught here; skill and strength is just for self defense." "Ming Tu, Shao Chun, Ju Chien...." "How can you easily forget all the rules that I've taught you?" "Sorry Sir..." "I treat you well, regard you as my own children" "I'm responsible for you." "I teach you martial arts, and now, Cheng Wu has been killed." "Ming Tu, do you have any idea how I feel about this?" "And what I will say to his parents?" "Master, it was all my fault and not the others." "Therefore, I accept all the responsibility and any punishment." "No master, I started it... so I'm the one who should be punished." "All the others simply followed me." "Master, don't punish senior brother." "Master, just punish me!" "Master, this whole thing was because of me," "I ask you, please do not punish these young men it's really my fault." "Well I'm sorry sir, but these pupils have done wrong they've broken the rules, so they must be punished." "No, master... helping the weak, is surely no crime." "When they saw me they felt pity, and compassion is never bad." "So I beg you, please pardon them." "You should rest, you've been injured." "Ying Ying, help Mr. Liu to his room." "Yes." "Now listen, the senior student Ming Tu, will receive one month in penitence." "Shao Chun will receive two weeks because he was not in charge." "Ju Chien must also pay for his imprudence for the next 3 years he will not receive lessons." "Thank you, teacher!" "Who's Lei Ping?" "That would be me." "Do you recognize us then?" "You're the Chin Yin chiefs I imagine...." "I've heard of you." "That's us." "Well alright, how can I help you?" "I hear Liu Chen and his daughter are hiding in this school and we're here to get them." "Liu Chen is my enemy and we have an old score to settle" "Your school is not involved and providing I get Liu Chen, I will forget what has happened." "One pupil died protecting this couple they're here now in my keeping, and they'll stay." "Lei Ping I want them!" "Liu Chen is injured, he needs treatment." "He cannot move yet," "I would suggest you give him some time." "Alright, I shall give him time." "He can have 2 hours." "Two hours?" "Well I know, those men are superb fighters." "Master, in my view we can't beat them." "If we fight them, I think they'll kill us all!" "Don't agree." "Listen to me!" "Go on..." "If we have to fight, let me go first." "That should give you some time to make your plans." "That way, you'll have your two hours and a bit more." "No, I won't permit that." "What do you suggest?" "Since I'm the cause of all this, then its fitting" "I should go out there and settle this myself." "Dad, you can't do that!" "Dad, you go out there and they'll kill you!" "Hsia Fen!" "I've no other choice." "Otherwise, they'll destroy this school." "Dad!" "Tell me; what did you do to the Chin yin that they want you?" "20 years ago, Chin Yin chiefs were in Chiu-hua Shan" "They committed many crimes and killed a great number of people." "At the time I was traveling through and saw what they had done." "From what you say you must be a great fighter, so why don't you fight them?" "No, I've taken an oath before Buddha to kill no more." "And so, no matter what happens" "I will never lift a sword again." "Lei Ping!" "The time is up!" "Well alright, come on out then!" "No point in putting this off..." "Dad, you can't go out there." "I beg you please don't do it." "She's right." "You can't go." "But I can, and I will too." "I already owe you too much!" "So then, I'll not see this school destroyed for my sake." "My friend, I've already lived my life and I'm ready to die." "But one thing, my daughter here..." "Master, look after her please." "Dad!" "Now listen, the Lei Ping school is an honorable place." "While I'm here no one harms you." "Brother, let me go first." "After all, I'm the senior so its right I should" "Anyway, those men need to see that we're not afraid of them." "Maybe when they see we're not afraid, They may even back off my sword...." "Be careful" "Uncle!" "Uncle!" "Now wait!" "You cannot go" "You're no match for them" "Well maybe not, but it's worth a try." "You two are evil men, who should be stopped!" "So then, today I will try to do that." "Tien, I shall take you!" "Alright, give him a quick trip to heaven." "Uncle!" "Ta chun!" "Uncle...." "Ta Chun...." "Uncle!" "Stay back!" "Right." "Ta Chun..." "Get my sword!" "Yes." "Master...." "let us go with you." "No." "Ming Tu..." "Sir!" "Today the Lei Ping school here, is fighting a battle to preserve it's name." "And if I should die out there you will take over the school." "Listen, and listen well..." "without my permission" "Nobody is to go out there alright!" "And don't you forget that." "Yes!" "Master, you be real careful." "Alright, now close the gate." "Yes!" "Get back inside!" "Dad!" "Tieh Wu Chin." "Tu Ku Tien." "Well alright, I'm ready now!" "Listen, this one I think should be mine." "Well watch him, this one won't be quite so easy." "Dad!" "Let me out!" "No, stay back!" "I've got to go out!" "No, get back!" "Shut up!" "Master said to stay here." "You got that?" "Master!" "I must go!" "Dad..." "Let me out." "Dad, you mustn't go." "Open the gate." "Dad, you mustn't go." "Let me out." "Stay back!" "Master Lei" "Master Lei" "Master Lei" "I'm so sorry Master Lei" "Master Lei" "Though I swore to never use my sword again" "What has happened here has changed all that" "Today because of me; two honorable men have been killed" "And I can't bear that!" "Well Liu Chen, you intend to fight me huh?" "Indeed I do." "So which one of you fights first?" "That would be me" "Let me" "Great skill" "Chin Yin together now" "Let's go" "Go" "Dad..." "Master..." "Master..." "Dad, you'll be alright." "Ying Ying" "Ming Tu" "Master" "Hang the sign again with honor" "Yes...." "Master!" "Dad..." "Master..." "For honor's sake our master and uncle laid down their lives." "And those two killers are not only our foes but all of society as a whole." "From this day on, we must practice with all of our strength with one purpose, one reason and that's to kill the Chin Yin chiefs." "And if I should die, brother Erh here will take over." "And his orders are the same as mine:" "Kill the Chin Yin chiefs no matter what the cost,they must be destroyed." "Now then, we must hang the school sign high again" "Or else we'll lose honor and shame Master's name." "Now tomorrow, my penitence begins" "Shao Chun also for two weeks" "Ju Chien must stop his lessons for 3 years" "Those were Master's orders before he died" "And we will obey them!" "Yes!" "Brother, have some tea." "No, I won't." "Thank you." "Brother Erh?" "No thanks." "Now look, just now Liu just said you should stop it's been two weeks." "if you carry on you may get sick." "No, Master said to do this for one month and I'll obey his order." "Master, don't worry." "I'll follow your instructions." "Hold it!" "Brother?" "Master said no practice, not for 3 years." "Forgive me." "I ahhh...." "Brother..." "Teacher..." "Listen, if you do this again you'll be expelled." "Yes." "Brothers, tomorrow I'm gonna fight a duel." "Maybe, I will not be coming back." "And in that case, brother Erh will take charge." "You must obey him." "The school's honor must be upheld." "You may not rest until the chiefs are killed and the Master's tablet is inscribed." "Well now, I'll give you this you must have guts to come face me." "Chin Pa, I'm gonna make you suffer." "You stupid fool" "You're gonna die here." "Hey you, what's this trick?" "Hey...help me !" "Master !" "Brother" "I'm simply no use" "I let the Master down" "I knew I was no match for Chin Pa" "I had to use a trick or else I'd be dead" "Brother, now don't blame yourself" "You can try again just wait a while" "Right, Ming Tu We know you did your best" "No one blames you" "I shall go up to Chiu Tien Feng" "Master, I must leave" "Today, I'm going up to Chiu Tien" "And there, I'll practice hard" "Until I'm quite ready" "Maybe for 10 years" "Till I'm ready to avenge you." "Alright, get ready you must go now" "Yes" "From now on" "You will all obey Brother Erh" "Yes" "I must go" "Brother, you take care" "Hei Pai Killers" "Ming Tu, you can die right now or you can come with us and beg the Chin Yin chiefs for mercy maybe you'll be lucky and they'll spare your life." "You let me go, in one year I'll fight you all." "We can't wait, you either come with us or die." "Go to hell, he's staying here." "Brother you forget, you can't fight" "You back off" "Are you coming out of there ?" "Seems I have no choice" "Brother, let them in." "We'll handle them." "You can't fight." "Now wait" "Hey, you really wanna fight ?" "Right, I promise you you'll be the first to die" "The Hei Pai Killers are dead ?" "Well alright, We'll kill those Lei Ping students" "All of them !" "Brothers, when the Chin Yin chiefs hear the news they'll be here" "So you better leave here quickly." "Brother Ehr will take you to up to Chi Hsing Mountain." "And I will go to Pei Lung Shan" "And don't forget, we have to kill those chiefs no matter what." "Alright, lets split up" "You go to Chi Hsing Mountain, I'll head to Pei Lung Shan" "Right, we'll see you then" "Now you look after them, I'm depending on you" "I will" "I'm off" "Right" "Let's go" "Come on..." "There's the Ko Shih Cave" "Right" "Come on" "Brothers, for our Master's sake we have to live here now" "Those who feel they can't are free to leave" "I'll stay until those chiefs are dead" "Even if it takes all my life, and you ?" "Right !" "Brother Wu" "Sir" "Take them inside and let them rest" "Sir" "Go on..." "Right, come on" "Brother" "Brother" "Brother, you came alone ?" "Uncle Liu's already gone back to the school" "I have to kill those chiefs, and raise the Master's tablets" "But they fight so well, particularly Chief Chin" "Tai Chi Kung Fu is one of the best" "Unfortunately, to learn it well one has to start early; as a child." "Tai Chi is nearly invulnerable and that's the problem" "I must think, there must be a way" "Well, it could work with some luck" "Lubricate the sword using lots of oil" "Which will make it impossible to get a grip on the blade" "That could get me a split second advantage if I'm fast enough" "And I'll have to be, I'll just have one chance and no more." "Well now Chin Pa, so we meet again" "You again...have you made any progress ?" "Well you'll soon find out" "Good, if you beat me you can live" "What's this trick ?" "Chief Tieh (Wu Chin), Master Chin Pa has just been killed by Ming Tu" "Ming Tu, I promise I'm soon gonna kill you" "Are you the teacher of the Lei Ping school ?" "Yes I am, my name is Yu Ming Tu." "Cheif Chin Pa, did you kill him?" "Yes, I killed him in a fair fight." "Damn you, you're gonna pay for that with your life" "Well, maybe" "But perhaps with some luck, I'll find your weak spot" "Right, try it" "Watch out" "Sun  Moon step !" "Szu Men Pa Kua" "Brother..." "Hey look" "Brother..." "Brother..." "Brother..." "Brother Erh, hey look" "Brothers, come here." "Yes !" "Brother, what is it ?" "Today is Master's 3rd anniversary." "Master, this day we all swear our loyalty to Lei Ping school" "Master, rest in peace!" "Get up..." "Now let's practice" "Yes" "Let's go" "Hold it" "Get up" "Brother Erh..." "What's today ?" "Master  Uncle's 3rd anniversary" "You're aware ?" "In that case why you sleeping here ?" "Get going !" "Sir" "Go!" "Tieh Wu Chin" "You owe me" "And today, I'm gonna try to collect" "Well now young friend" "If you wish I'll show you Tai Chi Kung Fu" "Damn you, I'll teach to you fight with me." "He's a lucky man" "If I got here any later he would've died." "Doctor, he ...." "In time, he'll recover alright" "But still, no more martial arts for him" "But why ?" "It's his heart muscles, they've been permanently damaged" "So no more physical exertion..." "Listen, Brother Erh has been defeated by Tieh Wu Chin" "If it hadn't been for Doctor Nan" "He wouldn't be with us today" "And now, Brother Erh can't fight." "Certainly not for a long time." "Therefore, I must take up the responsibility." "And I swear, we shall avenge the Master and put up his tablet" "Or stay in this cave for the rest of our lives" "And live like a pack of rats." "The body has 108 pressure points" "Main ones 36, minor 72." "Most vulnerable: eye, mouth, nose, throat, ear, and groin." "Persons who are experts at Tai Chi Kung Fu have only one." "And it can be moved and varied at will." "So if you ever intend to fight such a man you have to try and find his weak spot first." "And even so, you'll have to fight very well" "And have lots of luck too." "In fact, your odds of winning are quite slim" "Most likely you will be killed." "You're Lei Ping's Hua Ju Chien ?" "That's right, my Master and Brothers have died at your hands" "But one day, I'll kill You !" "That's not likely" "Don't be too sure." "I'll get you even if it kills me." "Is that so ?" "Well why not try now?" "Be careful..." "Brothers, better back off" "Let's go !" "Damn you, well what now?" "Now you die here" "Right, well let's see who's gonna die here" "Let's go" "Come back !" "Brother !" "Damn you, wanna die?" "You damn murderer..." "If you like, you can die next" "Go to hell!" "Be strong" "Lei Ping School seems to have a great number of cowards" "Hold it" "Mrs. Pai Ho" "I ask that you'll be generous and let her go" "Since it is you who asks, I will let her go" "Curb your killing or you'll die too." "Mercy..." "Mercy" "Master" "Master" "Master" "Master" "Master, I owe you my life" "Thank you, I'm very grateful" "Master if I may, can I ask you" "Can Tieh Wu Chin ever be beaten ?" "They say that he has to have a weak point" "If it could only be found" "But we've tried and he doesn't seem to have one" "Master ?" "Go home my child" "He's killed too many people" "He has to die, simple justice demands that he does" "Master, won't you help?" "I've retired from worldly affairs a long time ago" "Go home, I cannot help you." "Master, please wait" "Master wait..." "Master wait..." "Master, please help me" "No one else can" "Master I beg you" "Strike when he's not himself" "Not himself ?" "Not himself ?" "Not himself ?" "You can leave now" "Sir" "Brother Ehr" "I have an idea" "I don't like it, but it may work" "What is it ?" "I'll challenge him" "Kao Yung, Chan Sheng" "Yes" "Hsiao Ming" "Yes" "While I'm fighting him" "You pour gasoline all over him" "Then you wait till I signal" "And when I'm clear we light him on fire" "We can't do that" "Not the Lei Ping School" "We won't pull off any tricks like that" "Now Look, somehow we've got to get him" "Don't we ?" "Go get some rest" "Brother Erh" "Stop bothering me" "We must rest" "Sir" "Brother Ehr" "How is he ?" "He just took some medicine that may help him" "Brother" "Brother" "Brother" "You'll be alright" "Sister, where've you been?" "I'm sorry, I went to see the nun" "I just wanted to thank her" "We were real worried" "Listen, the nun told me something" "She said we can find Tieh's weak point" "Only when he's not being himself" ""Only when he's not being himself"" "What does that mean ?" "Not being himself ?" "Not being himself ?" "I got it !" "Brother" "Brother Erh" "What is it ?" " What's going on ?" "Brother" "Sister" "What is it ?" "I know" "Know what ?" "I know what she means" "He's such a vicious and evil man" "That he very rarely laughs" "So you see, when he laughs he's not being himself" "His throat !" "Right, his weak point" "His throat ?" "Right, that makes sense" "But only when he's laughing in triumph" "So we have to fight him and make him think he's won" "Then we get him in the throat" "Alright, let's work on that" "What you gotta remember" "Is practice, accuracy, practice accuracy" "Right !" "Master" "A challenge ?" "I challenge you to a contest to the death" "On the fourteenth of this month" "On the main plateau" "Signed, Hua Ju chien" "Come on, quickly" "Hurry up" "Well now, by yourself ?" "I will be enough" "I promise you won't survive this time" "We'll see" "Noon" "God damn you" "Right, destroy your strength" "Szu Men Pa Kua" "Bastard, Laugh now" "Laugh" "Laugh" "Laugh, hurry" "How come this bastard fights so good all of a sudden ?" "You again ?" "Didn't you learn your lesson ?" "I'll kill you" "You'll kill me ?" "Right, I'll take your head now" "Right, you laugh away" "Today no one's gonna come along and save your little neck" "I don't need anyone to save me, I shall kill you" "Right" "Think so ?" "We shall see about that" ""Right Think so ?" "We shall see about that"" "What was that ?" ""What was that ?"" "You're mocking me ?" ""You're mocking me ?"" "Alright" ""Alright"" "Brother" "Brother" "Brother" "Brother" "Brother" "Brothers, Sister, everybody" "It's time for us to go" "Now look, you take care of yourselves" "We'll see you real soon" "Soon as I'm better, I promise we'll come up and see you" "Look forward to it" "Off you go" "Goodbye !"
