"The Ching dynasty's rule of China has brought peace and prosperity to the nation." "But certain groups of people are using kung-fu and martial arts and joining revolutionaries bent on making trouble." "So, the Emperor has issued a proclamation to keep order and protect peace-loving citizens." "From now on, learning and training in kung-fu is banned, and those who disobey will be put to death, by order of the Emperor." "Quickly, they're outside." "Quickly, come on, get out of here." "Run, hurry." "They are killing everyone in sight." "Bastards have even set the main hall on fire." "Abbot, they're shredding us apart." "We're surrounded." "Well, well, what are we gonna do?" "I say we make a stand." "Let's get out there and fight those bastards!" "Hold it." "We must stay." "Forward." "Abbot?" "The master has died!" "Stay back." "Sir." "Our brother Kao." "Shut up." "From now on you will address me as Marshall Kao." "It's about time you wised up." "If you do try to fight the court, you'll be put to death." "And the same goes for your family." "The Shaolin order will be destroyed." "You cannot beat us." "You traitor!" "You don't scare me." "You still have a lot to learn." "Get him." "Abbot, please." "Abbot!" "Hold it!" "Kill." "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "What do you mean?" "I have my reasons." "Tell me what is your reason." "My Lordship." "Your Excellency." "I know what I'm doing." "Kao Fei Yung, you son of a bitch." "We're not gonna give in, even if it means death!" "Marshall Kao, what is your plan?" "Your Lordship, the Emperor wants to stop people learning kung-fu." "It might seem killing's the simpler solution." "But, Your Lordship, that might start a revolution." "What shall we do then?" "Stop killing them." "What will that achieve?" "Leave that to me." "I want to torture them." "I'll show every one of those bastards what misery's all about." "They'll never practice kung-fu again." "I'm sure they'll give in after I've finished with them." "Your Excellency, let's just kill them." "It's the best way." "Well killing them seems to me the best solution." "But he's got a point." "Right." "Kao Fei Yung, you handle it your way." "Thank you, Your Lordship." "Take them away." "Get them all out." "Kao Fei Yung." "Yes, sir." "Have them set fire to the temple." "Yes." "Hold it." "Huh?" "Come on!" "Brother!" "Chow Jun Shin." "Kao Fei Yung." "I never thought you'd be a traitor." "Well, now you know." "Brother, why did you turn against." "You're a disgrace to the Shaolin temple." "Chow Jun Shin, you'd better think carefully." "We've wiped out Shaolin." "Since you are their leader, you should set a good example for them." "Come and join me in my work, so that one day you will..." "Shut up!" "Kao Fei Yung, you're nothing but a coward." "I'll have nothing to do with you." "Chow Jun Shin, please take my advice." "If you don't accept, I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to arrest you." "Come on." "Get out, men." "I'm gonna take revenge for the Shaolin temple." "Run." "Take him!" "Kao Fei Yung, you lousy traitor." "Move." "It's Brother Chow." "They captured him, too." "Oh, no." "They captured Brother Chow." "Oh no." "Brother Chow." "Brother Chow!" "Damn you." "Kao Fei Yung." "All the disciples of Shaolin are my prisoners." "Brother Chow, come along." "C'mon, move." "Quick." "They even managed to catch Brother Chow." "We have absolutely no hope." "Marshall Kao." "We'd like to thank you for letting us join you in your battle against the Shaolin order." "Marshall Kao, it's an honor." "Lock him up." "Sir." "Chow Jun Shin, you're a clever man." "You should have set a good example." "Traitor!" "Traitor!" "Traitor." "Traitor!" "Shut up." "Shut up!" "Come on." "Sir!" "Maid." "Yes, ma'am." "What do you think of the new marshall," "Kao Fei Yung?" "How does he strike you?" "Handsome, polite, and smart." "He's a perfect man." "Princess, how do you feel about him?" "He does seem perfect." "It's too good to be true." "I feel he's hiding something." "Oh, you think so?" "Mm hmm." "He doesn't strike me as the sort of man who'd betray his brothers." "Abbot, what's the main purpose of learning kung-fu?" "What do you think?" "To be invincible." "To be a hero everybody can respect." "Wrong." "No one is invincible." "You mean to say that no one can be a perfect fighter?" "Even the sun sets at the end of the day." "What are we seeking then if not the glory?" "For justice to help our fellow man." "Yes, Abbot." "Good day, Your Excellency." "Much has been said about Shaolin kung-fu." "Today, we'll put it to the test." "We'll see if it's as good as they say." "Let us out of here!" "Your Lordship, those bastards are not good enough to fight with someone who is as great as yourself." "Let me fight with them." "You can just sit back and enjoy the show." "Grand." "Open up." "Brothers!" "Kill him!" "Marshall Kao, very good." "My turn." "You?" "Yes, I think I'll have a go at them just for a bit of fun." "Your Lordship, I think you should let me fight with them instead." "Not this time." "The big guy." "I'll take him." "Get him out of there." "Yes, sir." "Release Yen Pey Chung." "You look like a tough man." "Show me how good your kung-fu really is." "Shaolin kung-fu is not so great." "Why waste time learning something as useless as Shaolin kung-fu?" "Think again, work for me." "I promise you'll learn a lot more here." "Damn ya, you dirty son of a bitch." "Try me." "I'm not scared." "Shut up." "How dare you." "You got a nerve using that kind of language here." "You goddamned idiot." "You're afraid of him!" "He doesn't scare me!" "You keep out of this, you traitor." "You." "Brother Feng!" "Marshall Kao." "Yes, sir." "Let him out of there." "I wanna see how good his kung-fu is." "Release Feng Chang." "Sir." "You useless bastard." "Your kung-fu's rubbish." "Lock him up." "Excellency, you were marvelous." "He's no match for you." "You shouldn't waste your time on those idiots." "Any way, I haven't started torturing them yet." "It's not yet time to kill them." "I won't let them die so easily." "Good, I'll leave it to you." "Teach them a good lesson for me." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, Your Excellency." "So you all think you've perfected the art of Shaolin kung-fu." "You think you're invincible, huh?" "You better stop kidding yourselves." "The aim of kung-fu is to learn patience and endurance." "Well, I'd like to see how good your kung-fu is." "Show me how much pain you can endure." "Ping Chang," "Wu Chi." "Yen Pey Chung." "Hey, wake up." "Hey!" "Chow Jun Shin." "Come on." "Move it." "Chain 'em up!" "Release him." "Brother Wen, what's been going on?" "I've got bad news." "Wen Fu, you must be tired." "Tell us what's happened." "Brother, they've arrested all our comrades." "Taken them back to Ching court." "Kao Fei Yung is using all sorts of torture on them to try and make them surrender." "I heard they're really suffering." "They can't take much more of it." "What's that, Brother Wen?" "Is it true?" "Brother Liu, what are you gonna do?" "I can't let them suffer." "I know, Kao's kung-fu is good, but that's not gonna stop me." "I've gotta try and rescue them." "Why'd you run away the last time?" "Oh, you!" "Brother Liu!" "Brother Chow helped me to escape." "I couldn't just..." "Easy." "Yes, I know Brother Chow did that, so that you could return and help organize our own force to fight for the land which is rightfully the Ming's." "Abbot, I didn't understand your reasoning the last time." "To help our fellow men, we have to sacrifice." "Not until we do that, will we deserve to be called true heroes." "Pain has many forms." "Physical pain is easy to endure." "Emotional pains are totally different things." "That's real suffering." "It's hard for you to understand." "Maybe later on, you'll experience emotional pain." "That's when the pain's in your heart." "No one will know that you're suffering, and you can't talk to anybody." "Some people will insult you." "They will think that you're a coward and call you a running dog." "But only you will know you're innocent." "You'll be strong enough to take all their insults." "When that time comes, you're a hero." "We understand." "Thank you, Abbot." "Marshall Kao?" "Huh?" "Welcome, Princess Sho Lang." "Nice to see you." "So you like drawing." "It's such a peaceful pastime." "Marshall Kao, you also like to paint?" "I'm not a good painter." "It's just a hobby of mine." "I've heard you like torturing the rebels." "That's right." "They have to be taught a lesson." "Does it work?" "Too soon to tell." "I need more time." "That's a lovely bow." "Did you put it here?" "For decoration or to use for hunting?" "Correct." "It's for the hunting season at the end, the end of the year." "It's for hunting." "Move!" "Hurry!" "You hear me?" "All right." "Hold it!" "Get in line!" "You're under pressure." "I hope you've learned your lesson." "Now the governor wants to know if any of you would like to surrender and help fight all revolutionaries." "You." "Get back." "Listen." "You're useless." "I don't even know if I want you to join the Ching army." "You're not good enough for us." "We'll see how good you really are." "Chung Sen Feng." "Me?" "Marshall Kao, so I'm to be first." "It's an honor, sir." "Wu Shun." "Marshall Kao, I don't know any kung-fu." "I was just a cook." "I can't fight." "You liar." "You're much too humble." "You've lived in the temple for so long, you know kung-fu." "So stop trying to fool me, you bastard you." "Are you scared?" "That won't help you." "I'll take him." "Attack your enemy as fast as you can." "Use both your legs." "Loosen your muscles." "Make use of your hands." "Aim properly." "Move forward and attack." "Fight hard." "Use all your skills." "Don't stop and think." "Keep attacking." "Never stop fighting." "And remember, use your common sense when you're fighting." "That lesson really left me exhausted." "Worst than our practice sessions at the temple." "I can't stand it any more." "I'm heading for a nervous break down." "Is that all you can take?" "Wait and see." "There'll be a lot more to come." "You." "I'm not gonna give in." "No matter how they torture me." "Students of Shaolin are strong and brave." "No amount of pain can defeat them." "Wu Shun, have a strong heart." "All right, get all of them out of their cells." "Sir!" "I just can't believe all of you are so tough." "Now I would like to see how much more you can take, men." "All right." "Get up, come on." "Marshall Kao, morning!" "Hey, are we gonna have another lesson?" "All right." "Come on over here." "Move it!" "I believe that very soon Kao Fei Yung will kill" "Brother Chow and all the other students." "We have very little time, to gather together all of our forces." "Brother, I had heard that the governor's holding a party in two days' time and it's to celebrate their victory." "Bastards." "I was ordered to wipe out all the rebels." "And we've succeeded." "The Emperor is very impressed." "You three did a great job." "Now, let's celebrate our victory!" "Thank you." "It's our duty, my lord." "The three of you did well." "Here's a toast to all of you." "Thank you Princess Sho Lang." "I'm sorry I was in the capitol." "I couldn't come here." "Well done, men." "Please." "A toast to His Lordship and to the princess Sho Lang." "Well, here's to our future." "Very good." "Cheers." "Get out of here." "What a surprise." "I didn't know Marshall Kao could dance so well." "Get up." "Assassin!" "Good work." "Thank you, my lord." "His Lordship's here." "All kneel." "These, Your Lordship." "Hey, here, come on!" "Everybody down." "Get down there." "Kneel down quickly." "Come on!" "Come on, you bastard, down." "They're all Shaolin disciples." "Your Lordship, please inspect them." "Marshall Kao?" "Yes, sir." "I'd like to parade them before the public." "What do you think?" "Yes, sir." "Bring the prisoners forward for review." "Hya." "Go!" "I think His Lordship's plan is gonna work." "It's a good plan." "I believe no new terror practice kung-fu yet." "Marshall Kao's idea is a dead last." "I wonder why he wants to keep them alive." "Move it quick!" "Take it easy." "Get back here!" "Kneel down!" "Kneel!" "Kneel down!" "Listen to me!" "These men here have broken the law by practicing kung-fu!" "So they're being punished severely." "I hope you'll all learn from this." "It doesn't pay to break the law." "We only want law abiding citizens here." "Huh?" "Let's go." "Get up there!" "Get up, get up!" "Let's go!" "Come on, move along then." "Hurry it up." "More torture." "Hey." "Hey." "We're getting more training every day." "It's making me stronger." "The extra food helps." "Shut up." "Wu Shun, what's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'm okay." "I know this torture is too much for you." "Brother Feng, I can't take any more." "Brother Wu, hold on." "We seem to be able to take more torture." "We're stronger when we first came." "That's proof enough we're getting used to all this." "Just pretend." "We're practicing in the temple." "Take this opportunity to train our bodies." "We'll escape when the time's right." "No, I can't take another day of this." "It's a disgrace to the Shaolin Temple having a student like Kao." "He's ruined the name of Shaolin." "Wu Shun, don't be a coward." "Wu Shun, have a strong heart." "Bear up." "Excuse me Marshall Kao." "One of the rebels wants to see you." "Which one?" "Bring him here." "All right, leave us." "Sir!" "Aren't you Wu Shun, the cook who doesn't know any kung-fu?" "Yes, sir, Marshall Kao." "Why do you want to see me?" "I thought carefully, and I'd like to work for you in the Ching court." "I see." "So my plan was effective." "The torturing did you some good." "What about your brothers who are still in jail?" "I don't care about them." "I think they're stupid not to give in." "I don't wanna suffer." "So you've decided to be a traitor of Shaolin like me." "No, not a traitor, sir." "I just want to serve in the Ching army." "I really do, sir." "Well, I'm glad to hear that Wu Shun." "You're a smart man." "Come here." "I have a toy made just for you." "You can practice your kung-fu here." "Oh, sure." "You just attack it." "Keep on hitting it." "Fight with it, Wu Shun." "I've had it for 10 years." "I practice every day." "The good thing is that it doesn't fight back." "I'll show you how to do it." "That's the right way." "Assassin!" "Is it true?" "I think Kao Fei Yung is up to no good." "His torturing of the Shaolin men is all a show." "He claims he wants all of them to surrender." "But when?" "That cook, Wu Shun gave in." "Kao Fei Yung killed him." "I don't know what Kao Fei Yung's up to." "Killing the only prisoner who was willing to give in, that's strange." "Wu Shun trying to kill Marshall Kao?" "I wouldn't bank on that." "Doesn't add up." "Check it out." "Sir." "Get Chow Jun Shin." "Brother Feng, teach them a lesson!" "Hold it, you two." "His Lordship handed him over to me." "I'll take care of him." "What is it?" "My lord, let us test him to see if he's truly loyal." "Hmm." "You wish to see me, sir?" "Kao Fei Yung, how dare you try to fool me?" "I don't understand." "You think I'm stupid." "You're in league with those rebels." "You want to betray us." "I'm not blind, Kao Fei Yung." "You're mistaken, sir." "I wouldn't betray you for anything." "I'm innocent, sir." "Don't explain." "I'm sure that you're aware of the court rules." "Any one found guilty of treason dies." "Tell us why that rebel Chow is still in jail." "I heard that he was a classmate of yours." "Is that true?" "No." "The purpose of my plan's to force him to surrender and serve in the Ching army." "Right." "Well it seems quite clear to me that your plan isn't working too well." "But sir." "Wait." "Marshall Kao." "Yes, sir." "I'd like to see some results soon." "Sir." "Get Chow Jun Shin out here." "Come on!" "Move!" "Why only him, then?" "Brother Chow!" "Move!" "Marshall Kao, you may start." "Sir." "Chow Jun Shin, His Lordship would like you to work for us, for the Ching army." "You're their big brother." "If you join us, I'm sure they will follow suit." "Kao Fei Yung, I'd rather die than work for you." "Save your breath, traitor." "Marshall Kao, it seems your plan has failed." "Marshall Kao, you can't let him get away with that." "How can you let him insult you?" "Chow Jun Shin, you're being very selfish." "Think about all your brothers." "Don't you want to help them?" "Marshall Kao, you know what to do." "Chow Jun Shin." "Marshall Kao, I'll never change my mind, no matter what you do." "Marshall Kao, you having second thoughts because he's your friend?" "Very good." "Stubborn bastard deserved to die." "Don't feel bad about it." "It was a tough decision." "Crying won't change things." "I know how you feel." "You thought you were doing the right thing." "So did he." "Chow thought he was right too." "He, well he had to sacrifice to help others." "I know that you're sacrificing too." "This rain is like he is falling from heaven." "Staying here will make it worse." "Brother Yow, what are we gonna do?" "We're gonna get out of here tomorrow." "You mean escape?" "Nothing is gonna stop us." "Abbot?" "What is a hero?" "Buddha be praised." "Sacrificing oneself for others." "A hero should forget himself when helping others." "That's heroism." "Abbot, I don't understand." "I know it's difficult to understand right now." "But when the time comes, when you have to sacrifice, you'll know." "And only then, will you prove yourself a true hero." "I'm gonna kill him." "I'm gonna kill him!" "Kill that dirty traitor." "Brother Liu, control yourself." "He murdered Brother Chow." "I've gotta take revenge!" "Brother Liu!" "Brother Liu, calm down a bit." "Our duty comes first." "We must think of our country, first and foremost." "Brother Wen, I beg you." "Let me get revenge." "Brother Liu." "Sister Lan sacrificed herself." "I'm a man I can't just stand here and watch him die." "We must fight back!" "Brother Wen." "Brothers, I think it's time we attack them." "If we wait any longer, our comrades will die." "Your Lordship asked to see me?" "What's the matter?" "Kao Fei Yung." "There's some questions I'd like to ask you." "I'll answer then truthfully." "At the party, when that girl attacked, why didn't you shout out for help." "I didn't want to ruin such an important party." "That's why." "All right." "And that cook, Wu Shun gave in." "Why did you kill him and claim that he was an assassin?" "He was." "But he had no weapons." "No wounds." "That was simple." "I could handle him with my bare hands." "All right." "Third question now." "You've tortured them for quite a while." "But there's still no result." "What do you have to say about that?" "I torture to make them tougher and also to try their patience." "Is it torture or are you training them?" "I'm doing both." "So I see." "What are you thinking of the Ching dynasty?" "When you train them, do you want them to work for us?" "No sir." "Or did you train the rebels for your own purposes?" "Not for me." "I tortured them to make them stronger, but it wasn't for the Ching dynasty." "I did it for Shaolin." "My plan's to rebuild the strength of the Shaolin brotherhood." "Kao Fei Yung, you're a clever man." "And very cunning." "But you needn't have killed Chow." "You could have disobeyed me." "So why did you have to kill one of your own friends?" "I knew you were testing me." "It's a pity I wasn't ready for you yet." "I needed more time." "I had no choice but to kill him." "That wasn't very smart move." "When do you consider the time for the hunting season?" "That's right, Your Excellency." "Yes, I'd planned to kill you during the hunt at the end of the year." "And all the great lords would be there." "I'd kill them all." "Rebuild Shaolin and regain our territory." "Kao Fei Yung, you are too ambitious." "Fortunately, I was prepared for this." "I suspected you all along." "You'll never defeat us." "Before I summoned you, I sent out soldiers led by my finest commander and his escorts." "A crack division of troops." "They're heading for the jail." "Kao Fei Yung, there's no way you can escape." "Please, help me!" "Help me!" "Somebody, help!" "Leave him alone!" "Quick, release him." "Yay, we're free!" "We're free, we're free!" "That swine Kao's tortured us for so long, he doesn't realize that it's improved our kung-fu." "Hey, what you looking at?" "Hope I'm not stuck with you again, huh?" "You have not done badly." "Brother Yen, come on." "Let's go." "Brother Yang." "One last favor, talk to me." "'Cause I fear this is your last chance." "Brother Chung!" "Shaolin pan fist." "Not bad at all." "I'll kill you." "Shaolin palm fist." "Kao Fei Yung!" "Hero!" "Hero, the hero!"
