Kyoto University, Japan
Comrades, Japan belongs to our people,
not to the Emperor,
nor the military.
Longevity to the people.
The Black Dragon Clan is coming.
Hurry up, let's kick those Chinese pigs out of the school.
- Move. - Yes!
Now let me explain
the relationship between the gas tank and the internal combustion engine.
Let's look at the design of the internal combustion engine.
First, the gas is pumped to the carburetor.
Then, it mixes up with air into the combustion chamber,
and burns in the internal combustion engine.
What are you doing here?
You Chinese, get out!
How dare you do such a thing here?
Japanese schools are for the Japanese, not for the Chinese.
Take your war somewhere else!
You have no right to do this.
Get lost!
Are you alright?
Why are you doing this?
Acting like a bully won't make you a man.
Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this?
l am Yamada Mitsuko. l am not afraid of you. l look down on you.
Jerk.
Hey, l don't care who you are, get out of here immediately!
Get out before l finish counting to three.
One!
Two!
Three!
- Master. - Master.
He is the head of the Black Dragon Clan, Funakoshi Fumio.
Oh, finished so soon?
Didn't l say that violence couldn't solve the problem? Does anybody doubt it now?
Professor Watanabe, please accept my apology.
You should be grateful for his mercy, you could have been crippled.
- Who did you fight with? - He fought with me.
Oh, who are you? Your Kung Fu is quite good.
l am Funakoshi Fumio. And you are?
You, Mitsuko, why are you here?
Uncle Funakoshi, my pen has been broken by your apprentice.
You have to buy me a new one.
Hey girl, you know your uncle is very poor.
Does anybody have any money?
Here. Happy now?
You make trouble for your uncle all the time.
Are you not worried nobody will marry you when you grow up?
Don't you worry about me. Chen Zhen is all l need.
Chen Zhen?
Hello, l am Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men.
- Jing Wu Men of Shanghai? - Yes.
- Then, Mr. Huo Yuan Jia... - Huo Yuan Jia is my master.
- Really? - What's wrong?
Nothing.
l just received a telegram from Shanghai, China.
lt says that Huo Yuan Jia's been killed in a challenge match.
The opponent was Akutagawa Ryuichi,
from our Hong Kou Arena of Black Dragon Clan.
This is impossible.
l am sorry.
- lt's true. - Excuse me, sir.
Master Huo's death is a very great loss.
Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen!
- Where are you going? - To Shanghai.
l have to find out what's going on with my master.
Your master cannot have been killed by the Japanese. lt's impossible.
Stop the occupation of China.
Free Shanghai!
l warn you. lf you are gone for too long, l won't wait for you.
Chen Zhen.
Will you come back?
lf they leave China, l will come back for you.
But the Japanese military in Qing Dao is there to fight with Germany.
You have to understand, Qing Dao is Chinese territory.
Japan and Germany are both invaders.
Chen Zhen,
do you hate the Japanese?
l don't know.
Mitsuko, in this day and age, you and l have no choice.
Please take care!
Chen Zhen.
Japan, United Kingdom Alliance
Karate Master Akutagawa Ryuchi
challenged with Mizong Fist Master Huo Yuan Jia
SHANGHAI
Sir, money, money!
l don't have any.
Money, money...
Sorry, l don't have any change.
Really, l don't have any.
- l tell you, l really don't have any. - Go, go away!
- Good morning. - But l am not Japanese.
Sir, you aren't Japanese. That's great.
Please have a seat.
- Sir, where do you want to go? - Jing Wu Men.
Jing Wu Men? Are you going to learn Kung Fu?
Yes. Can you please hurry up?
Learning Kung Fu? You better not to go to Jing Wu Men.
Everybody in Shanghai knows Jing Wu Men used to be number one.
But they are the worst now.
Do you want to go or not? l can take another one.
Yes, go, go, let's go.
lf you pay me, of course l will serve you. Hang on!
Hang on.
Let's go!
JING WU MEN
See, even Hua Yuan Jia has died.
Jing Wu Men has no future.
Think about it, l can take you to another Kung Fu school.
This one doesn't have a future.
Chen Zhen.
- lt's you. - A Biao.
- Let me help you. - Thank you!
- Are you...? - Chen Zhen, from Jing Wu Men.
Jing Wu Men will have a bright future. You'll see.
What? What are you waiting for?
- Chen Zhen. - Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen.
Master Ni, this is my father's mourning hall.
lf you want to challenge, let's do it outside.
Master, are you alright?
Master Ni, thank you for your modest gesture.
Brother Huo, l am not as good as you.
My victory was just lucky. You came from far away, you must be very tired.
lf we have a chance next time, how about l pay you a visit?
Have you finished your schooling?
Anyway, you are home.
Uncle Nong.
l didn't want you to quit school, so l didn't have them tell you.
How did you hear?
Even Japanese newspapers have reported it.
Those Japanese must be satisfied now.
Oh, let's go to Kowtow to my father first.
Hold on, what is this?
Chen Zhen isn't from the Huo family, how can you give him a mourning suit?
Uncle Nong, Chen Zhen has been brought up by my father,
he is no different to us, and is part of the Huo family.
- But... - Please.
Before the match,
Dad's asthma was really bad.
l tried to talk him out of it many times,
but he wouldn't listen to me.
TOLERANCE
Go to Kowtow.
Are you out of your mind? The sign of Tolerance was written by your master.
- You... - Uncle Nong.
What Chen Zhen did is right.
The foreigners have been dominant and tyrannical in China,
because we Chinese have tolerated them for so long.
l swear, as long as l, Huo Ting'en, am in Jing Wu Men, l'll be tolerant no more!
l am going to look for Jiechuan.
Chen Zhen, follow the rules, you should send him a challenge proposal.
l'm going there in person. l don't need a challenge proposal.
- Chen Zhen. - Chen Zhen.
Hong Kou Arena belongs to the Japanese, even the police can do nothing with them.
lf anything happened to you, what would become of Jing Wu Men?
Even your dad couldn't beat them.
- Uncle Nong, l... - Listen,
your dad asked me to take care of you, l cannot let you make a mistake.
A Lun, A Xiang, have some of our people go with Chen Zhen.
lf anything happens, let me know immediately.
Yes. Follow me.
- Hello. - So busy.
- Whoa, very nice card. - Get out, get out.
Captain, there is a call for you.
Who is it? Hello, this is Jie Yuankui speaking.
What? Nong Jinsun?
Things are really that bad?
Alright, l am coming over now. Move, let's go to Hong Kou Arena.
Two, three, four.
- You idiots. - Like a bunch of girls.
Take a break.
Who are you? How dare you step in with your shoes?
l am Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men. l am here for Akutagawa Ryuichi.
Chinese aren't allowed to come in here. Get out!
This is the land of China, and Chinese can go anywhere they want.
Go to hell.
l'm not interested in fighting with you.
Call your head master here.
l am going to have a fair match with Chen Zhen.
lf anything should happen, neither side is allowed to take revenge.
My master used our Huo Fist to fight with you.
l will use the same.
l can see very clearly now, you could never win a match with my master.
Master, Master.
No one is permitted in Hong Kou Arena, except for Japanese.
Are you sure it's not a mistake? Don't get me into trouble.
l saw Chen Zhen going in there with my own eyes.
Yeah, we did, too.
Look, Chen Zhen is coming.
- Are you not Japanese? - l am not.
Salute!
- What's going on? - Nothing, nothing.
Mr. Fujita, Mr. Ambassador, just a misunderstanding.
- You better not make trouble here. - Right.
Patrol one, go back.
Chen Zhen, how did it go?
- l won. - Yes, great!
Go to let Ting'en and Uncle Nong know, and have them to join me
- at Master's graveside. - OK, let's go.
- Master Huo's grave isn't finished yet. - Even better.
- Be careful, slower. - Yeah, right.
Pull!
lt stinks.
Why does it smell so bad?
Doctor, go ahead.
- l am a doctor, not a pathologist. - Let me do it.
Which part do you need?
l need the liver if you want me to check for poison.
What are you doing?
- Jie Yuankui, what are they doing here? - Autopsy.
- Why haven't you stopped them? - Brother Nong, Chen Zhen
is one of your Jing Wu Men, l have no right to stop him.
But, you...
Chen Zhen. How can you mess with Dad's corpse?
l challenged Akutagawa, there is no way he could have won.
l suspect Master was poisoned to death.
Jie Yuankui, do you suspect Master Huo was poisoned?
Akutagawa hit Huo Yuan Jia and he vomited blood,
and a lot of people there saw that.
See. Do you think we are all blind?
What?
Uncle Nong, l'd rather be disrespectful and do unfilial acts
in order to find out the truth.
lf you want to stop me, then kill me first.
Ting'en, the...
This is toxic. l'm sure he was poisoned.
Who the hell did it?
This question is left to you to find out.
Come on, help here. Let's put Master back to rest first.
Yes.
lt's what l said, Master couldn't have been defeated by the Japanese.
Right, l dare those Japanese to be cocky again.
That's right, Chen Zhen came back just in time. Or we wouldn't have known about it.
l don't understand. How could Master be poisoned?
Master had so many events out there, and it's easy for someone to poison him.
Before the match between Master and Akutagawa,
Master meditated for a month.
- He didn't go out for socializing at all. - You are right.
Then the poisoner must be someone from Jing Wu Men.
What?
Xiao Hui.
Were you the one taking care of Master's meals?
Yes. What's wrong?
Uncle Nong.
- You aren't suspecting Xiao Hui, are you? - No.
l'm thinking, except Xiao Hui, who else handled the food for your father?
l do! l take care of all of Jing Wu Men's food.
Do you suspect me?
A Xiang, go to check the kitchen. See if there is anything poisonous. Go!
Uncle Gen, please don't be mad.
None of your business. Go. Do you hear me?
Go and see if there's anything poisonous in my kitchen. Go, go.
Uncle Gen, please don't be so mad.
lf you don't check, l could die inexplicably.
Ting'en, what's going on?
Uncle Nong is questioning who poisoned dad. Uncle Gen thinks we suspects him.
- l didn't say that l suspected him. - Good.
Then don't eat my cooking from now on. l have been here for so many years,
Master Huo was brought up eating my cooking.
Nong Jingsun, how dare you accuse me of poisoning him?
Alright, alright, let's eat, eat.
- Chen Zhen, the food has been poisoned. - Master ate with us together.
lf your food killed Master, we would all be dead by now.
You have a head on your shoulders. Nong Jingsun, did you hear it?
- Suspecting me. - Uncle Gen, let's eat.
Well, those Japanese may be a problem. Let's finish our meals first.
Let's eat.
Ting'en, l am going to go see Dr. Smith.
His examination will show what poison was used.
- Examination? - Yeah, chemical examination.
JING WU MEN
- Have you ever seen this Kung Fu training? - No.
- That's great. - Awesome.
- Can you do it? - No way.
Chen Zhen, l've never seen you practice before.
- Are you going to teach us the Huo Fist? - Of course. Come on, now.
- OK. Come on. - OK. Let's go.
Fancy moves may not be effective.
You cannot stubbornly resist changes to training while learning Kung Fu.
There is only one goal during a fight: that's to defeat the opponent.
ln the meanwhile, it requires reaction, speed and power.
Actually, the simplest attack works the best.
lf you are hitting somebody, first you have to learn to bear the hits.
That's not true. We have to beat them down before their first move.
lf you don't have a powerful punch, it doesn't matter if you punch him 1 0 times,
he'll still be alright.
But if he hits you with a powerful punch, you won't be able to take it and you'll fail.
Sister, they have both come here to learn Kung Ku.
Can l ask if master Chen Zhen would teach us Kung Ku?
Yes, we want to learn from master Chen Zhen.
The head master of Jing Wu Men is Huo Ting'en.
l cannot guarantee Chen Zhen will teach you. Leave if you aren't interested.
What form is it?
- Four-legged form. - Four-legged form?
Why looks like a dead horse? Show me a kick.
Kick like that would not have enough power.
There's a side-kick in Japanese Martial Arts.
Although it's simple, go on, but it's quite speedy and powerful.
- Chen Zhen, show us. - Yes, show us.
- Good, let's do it. - Come on, get ready.
- Alright, let's do it. - Yes, come on.
Really powerful.
- Are you alright? - He is alright. Good, beautiful.
Pump the power from your entire body and kick sharply with the flow.
XIAO HONG
- What do you want? - Don't go.
- lt's getting late. - l want you to stay.
l am the head master now, l must go back there.
When your dad was alive, you said you didn't dare to stay over night.
Now you are the head, what are you afraid of?
lf somebody saw me staying here, they wouldn't listen to me anymore.
l don't believe you. Who dares to rebel, my Ting'en?
Please, stay. Can you?
l have to take off before dawn.
l need to know every move of these people.
Why do you monitor Japanese?
There are always some idiots who are ignoring the current situation.
Sorry. l am late.
Mr. Akutagawa, have you lost your mind because you're scared of Chen Zhen?
You don't even know how to knock on the door?
l wanted you to rest. l didn't want you to attend the meeting.
l only want to ask one thing...
Whether our military chief officer has heard about the autopsy of Huo Yuan Jia.
- All of you can get out now. - Yes.
What is it? What thing cannot be revealed?
What?
Are you the one who had others poison him?
The Japanese Empire today, in terms of economy, technology, industry,
and military strength, is way in advance of China.
We had hoped that your warriors
would destroy the Fist of Legend of Chinese Kung Fu.
Too bad, all of you have always disappointed us.
We stepped in because we were compelled to do so.
Shame on you!
There can never be too much deception in war.
This suits you military people, and it doesn't suit us warriors.
That match between Huo Yuan Jia and me should've been open and above board.
Unfortunately it's been spoilt by you, dirty jerk.
You are not worthy of the spirit of the Samurai.
Let me tell you what the spirit of the Samurai is about.
To best serve the Japanese emperor, forget about right and wrong.
Even if you go down in history as a criminal, you still refuse to reconsider your actions.
Your way isn't right. Let me show you how to do it right.
Uncle Nong, according to the result from Dr. Smith,
the late master was poisoned chronically with a drug that damaged his lungs.
When he fought with Akutagawa, he couldn't take a heavy hit.
Do you think there is a traitor within our Jing Wu Men?
What exactly do you want, Chen-Zhen?
Uncle Nong, what do you mean?
You've been back only two days, the fellows of Jing Wu Men
now see you as their idol.
But have you even thought about how Ting'en feels?
About what?
From day one, what you have done, you never discussed it with Ting'en first,
but made your own decision. Have you ever taken him seriously?
You are very talented.
Please remember,
Ting'en is now the only master of Jing Wu Men.
lt's late. l am going. Take your time to think about it.
- Chen Zhen, going out jogging? - Yeah.
Such a hard worker.
Master Chen.
Master Chen, you are out jogging so early.
Look, all of my fellows have come.
Master Chen, Master Chen!
- They want to learn Kung Fu from you. - Please don't follow me. Please don't.
Master Chen!
We got up late.
Sir.
Master Akutagawa is dead!
"Natural justice doesn't accommodate the murderer. Chen Zhen."
Hold on. Stop. We cannot solve the problem with violence.
General.
Let's go.
Morning, Master.
Where were you last night? Why didn't you come back?
- Where is Chen Zhen? - He went jogging.
Let me know when he is back. l'm going back to our room.
Everyone, the Japanese are coming right behind me.
Hurry up, come out.
Master.
- Those Japanese... - Calm down.
Something is wrong. Go ask the police for help.
- What's the matter? - Where is Chen Zhen?
Chen Zhen? l don't know where he is.
He could possibly be beating up Japanese.
He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't hit a Japanese every day.
Hold on.
Shame on you, Chinese. You murdered our Master Akutagawa.
You are who you are. Japanese, the evil person complains first.
Bullshit.
You don't turn Chen Zhen in today, we won't leave.
You came here well prepared, l realize you won't leave.
Close the door!
Protect the spirit shrine of the late master.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Shoot these Japanese.
We are here to stop the fight.
Put your swords away.
Alright, you better leave now.
What? They cannot be let off the hook.
Nobody injured. l say let it go.
We won't leave. We want Chen Zhen!
Sakamoto, would you like to follow my advice?
You don't qualify.
Chen Zhen!
Don't move.
All of you stand still. Don't move.
Old man, l dare you to shoot me.
l don't dare, but l am afraid the gun would misfire.
l will shoot whoever moves. Take Chen Zhen back to police station.
Let's go.
- Why do you take Chen Zhen? - Akutagawa was killed yesterday,
l need to take Chen Zhen back for the investigation.
- l didn't kill him. lt was not me. - Take him!
Go!
Back off. Back off.
l'll shoot if you don't back off.
This way, come on, sit down. Please sit down.
Please don't worry. Mr. Jie is in charge of this case.
He said everything would be fine.
Hey, why are you wearing a uniform?
l am sorry, Nong, l have been transferred out of that department.
This case is no longer under my control.
What? But Chen Zhen...
- Fate will lead him. - Hey, hey!
Court!
Captain, you said you have witnesses.
How many witnesses do you have?
Yes. We police have four witnesses.
They have claimed they witnessed Chen Zhen commit a murder.
Liar. Where did they find those four witnesses?
l saw Chen Zhen in person, and all of us knew him by sight.
l saw him stab the knife and chop the Japanese to death.
He was using a big knife.
- Are you sure it's him? Are you sure? - lt's him.
l am sure it's him.
Can you tell me how many fingers do you see?
Nine?
No, no. Six?
Why don't you move closer so l can see clear?
Never mind.
They are trash. They are not trustworthy.
l didn't kill anyone.
l was in Jing Wu Men by then. My students and fellows can testify for me.
Your Honour, the fellows of Jing Wu Men and Chen Zhen are brothers,
so they don't qualify to be witnesses.
What are you talking about? That doesn't make sense.
Silence!
Excuse me, sir, she's just arrived.
Your Honour, l have a reliable witness.
Your Honour, l think a Chinese witness isn't trustworthy.
My witness is Japanese.
His witness is Japanese.
OK.
Miss, please identify yourself.
My name is Yamada Mitsuko.
My father, Yamada Mistook, is the minister of Japanese Education.
According to what Chen Zhen said, he was at Jing Wu Men all night long,
Miss Yamada, do you agree with his testimony?
Chen Zhen is lying.
That night, he was in my hotel room all night.
He never went out at all.
- The entire night? - Yes.
What if Chen Zhen sneaked out while you were deeply asleep,
how would you know?
There's no way l wouldn't know.
We both lay in the bed and didn't sleep for the entire night.
lf you didn't sleep, what were you doing then?
We didn't sleep.
You tell me, what else could we do if we were in bed and awake?
- Hey, what did she say? - l have no idea. Do you?
- She said Chen Zhen slept with her. - Really? Are you sure?
l find these proceedings ridiculous.
Besides, being a waste of my time. Case dismissed.
Congratulations!
Let's go!
- Go! - Let's go!
Their national hero, is nothing but a sex fiend.
- How did you make it here? - l have given up everything.
You have to take care of me for life.
Cooking for her? No way! Don't even think about it. Go back to Japan.
Chen Zhen, your master sent you to Japan
for you to learn Japanese new technology.
Knowing oneself and your opponents, then you will know how to deal with Japanese.
Don't forget Master's wish because of a Japanese woman.
We, Jing Wu Men,
don't want any misunderstanding that we have a deal with Japanese.
Chen Zhen, you belong to Jing Wu Men.
You shouldn't be with a Japanese woman.
Chen Zhen, am l causing you a lot of trouble?
lt's alright.
Chen Zhen, a man shouldn't worry about getting a wife.
Once you indulged yourself in a crazy affair, you would lose the status of hero.
Do you really prefer to ruin your life just for a woman?
Uncle Nong, Mitsuko has come here and given up everything just for me.
She testified with a lie in the court. How can l leave her alone?
Maybe Japanese women always behave like sluts.
ln our Jing Wu Men,
it's impossible to allow a Japanese woman to stay here.
You choose,
either you break up with her,
or you shall leave Jing Wu Men.
Master, clearly you want to kick Chen Zhen out of here.
What are you saying, Liu Zhensheng? Are you with the Japanese side.
- What? Don't bullshit me. - What bullshit?
Look at you, you are more and more like a rascal.
lf you say it again, l will beat you to hell.
You both quit fighting.
All of you shut up!
Chen Zhen, if you insist on acting this way,
Jing Wu Men is soon going to break down.
l have no heart to see any internal conflict.
So now,
the only solution is between you and me,
and who will be the head master of Jing Wu Men.
- l've never wanted to be head master. - l don't care what you have wanted.
As a matter of fact, most of them would listen to you rather than me.
l want to have a match with you.
lf l lose, you will be the head master of Jing Wu Men.
lf you lose, you shall break up with her immediately.
Master, take him down! We don't want a Japanese in Jing Wu Men.
Stop saying that, he is our Chen Zhen.
Master, kick him out of here.
Master. Master.
Master, are you alright? Are you alright?
ls everything alright?
l lost. You are now the head master here.
- Master. - Master!
l don't want to be the head master,
and l will not leave Mitsuko.
lf you want me to make a choice,
l choose to leave Jing Wu Men.
Do you want to go back to Shan Dong Province?
lt's a mess there. My mother is ill.
Mitsuko, you wait for me right here.
- Hi there, do you have a room available? - Yes, we have. Please follow me.
Come here. They have a room.
What? Japanese? l don't have a room for Japanese.
She is my wife, can you please make an exception?
- ls that Chen Zhen? - Chen Zhen from Jing Wu Men?
He is a lascivious traitor.
Go away. Leave.
Go, we don't want you to stay.
You better leave now.
Don't mess up my business. Go, please.
Chen Zhen, let's leave.
HUO YUAN JIA GRAVE
Mouse, there is a mouse.
There, over there.
Mouse?
- Where is it? - lt was here just now. Really.
Maybe it's gone.
A place like this, of course mice are running around.
Oh, l am scared of that mouse. lt irritates me.
Actually, the mouse lived here first,
and we then came here to irritate them.
Well, maybe you are right.
Sorry, l feel so bad having you stay in such a place.
l feel this is a good place.
Look, the view outside is so pretty, and it's actually nicer than a motel.
Why don't we do this, l will take you to another place.
Are you really going to give up Jing Wu Men?
Jing Wu Men gave up on me.
Suddenly Jing Wu Men dropped off my shoulder,
- l feel more relaxed. - This is not you.
Why?
You are lying to yourself.
You would feel alone without Jing Wu Men.
How are you able to relax?
Chen Zhen is a liar. Mitsuko knows.
Do you?
- Have a cup of tea, Uncle Nong. - OK. Thank you.
- Why don't you eat? - l have no appetite.
Hasn't Ting'en come back yet?
This must be hard for him. Ting'en has never had a setback since he was little.
lt's really hard to face that he lost to Chen Zhen. Master is very stubborn.
l am afraid he isn't coming back to be our head master.
lf he doesn't, who else could take over?
The Mizong Fist of Huo family is never passed on other than to family.
lf he won't take it over, who is going to inherit the Mizong Fist and keep it up?
- Who has been teaching Kung Fu recently? - A Xiang and A Biao.
lf anyone comes to challenge us now, what are we supposed to do?
My mother wrote a letter to me, that Jing Wu Men offended the Japanese.
She asked me to leave here.
What? Are you going to leave?
l don't know what to do.
Don't worry. We are in British territory, the Japanese should behave better, right?
You Chinese really like to be wasteful,
one table of people are eating two tables of food.
What's going on?
l want to meet the head master of Jing Wu Men.
lt isn't up to you who you can meet. You can tell me what you want.
The number one warrior of our Black Dragon Clan, Mr. Fumio Funakoshi,
proposes to challenge your head master.
What do we do?
We need to find our master.
Useless. l say we get Chen Zhen back. l know where he is.
You want that traitor to fight the Japanese?
- Hey, stop talking bullshit here. - He is a traitor.
Stop. Enough is enough. All you do is argue and fight.
Go find Master and bring him back. Go, hurry up!
- Uncle Gen. - Uncle Gen.
A Xiang.
- Where did Master go? - How could l know?
What's going on, uncle Gen?
Stop pretending. What's going on with my son?
Uncle Gen, let's talk about it tonight.
You told me you would release my son if l poisoned him.
Man, your son committed a murder in Shan Dong province, it's not that simple.
But you promised me.
l didn't promise you. The Japanese promised you.
My daughter-in-law said that my son was killed by Japanese in prison.
Let me tell you something. You have already done it,
and you didn't do it for nothing.
You got the money, and we are even.
You didn't hesitate when you took the money.
lf the Japanese have promised you, your son should be just OK.
Don't go on about it anymore.
You guys said those drugs wouldn't kill Master Huo.
lf l'd known things were going to go so wrong,
l would have let my son die rather than Master Huo.
JING WU MEN
Help! Help!
What happened?
Go find more people here. We need help.
Let's get Uncle Gen down. Come on.
We found this under Uncle Gen's body.
What's it?
lt's crocodile meat that Ting'en asked to be brought back from Singapore.
lt's for curing asthma.
Listen!
ln Jing Wu Men, only Master Huo ate this meat.
Really?
lt looks like he killed Master Huo with poisoned crocodile meat,
then he committed suicide because he felt guilty.
Since he's dead, please don't spread the word anymore.
lt would ruin our reputation if people know we had a rat here.
Jing Wu Men is going down whether there is a rat or not.
Chen Zhen has left, and Ting'en has vanished as well.
l say you better find someone new to take over as the head master soon.
Jing Wu Men has gone down like this,
l don't know how to face the late Master Huo.
Captain, what should we do now?
You are leading the team today, why do you ask me?
Please instruct me, Captain.
Take the crocodile meat for a chemical test.
We are taking off. Let's go.
Can you please try again to find Ting'en?
Alright. Take it easy.
Miss, could you please tell me who you are looking for?
May l ask if Nong Jinsun, Uncle Nong, is here?
Yes, please follow me.
Uncle Nong, this lady is here for you.
- You are... - Uncle Nong, Ting'en is at my place.
l've tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't come back.
l think maybe only you could convince him.
Where do you live? Can you take me there?
- Dizzy Star House. - ls it a brothel?
How long have you known Ting'en?
Two years.
He must spent a fortune on you.
Please don't worry, l will leave him.
Uncle Nong, please don't misunderstand, Ting'en isn't as bad as you think.
As a matter of fact, he wants to rally Jing Wu Men.
He even told me he could make it better than his dad.
lt's true. Uncle Nong, please help him.
Go away. l want to kick them. Let go of me.
Master.
A Sheng, A Biao, let's go home.
Since you've come here, is anything wrong with Jing Wu Men?
Hong Kou Arena wants to challenge Jing Wu Men.
l want you to come back and discuss it with me.
What about Chen Zhen?
People wouldn't appreciate it if it's Chen Zhen. You are the head master.
Well, never mind. Let's go home.
Wait!
l will go back with you.
Are you confident to take the challenge?
Even if l lost, l wouldn't let others looking down on Jing Wu Men.
Hold on!
What will you do with her?
Do you really want to leave her here?
You aren't fair to her.
- A Lun, go bring the Madam here. - OK.
l want you to ransom her out of here.
Xiao Hong, are you ready to give up those pretty clothes?
l am so happy l can dress like you.
These clothes seems a bit small on you. l'll find another one for you tomorrow.
l've checked.
Fumio Funakoshi isn't only the number one of Black Dragon Clan,
but also the number one in Japan. But don't you worry, he's getting old.
- Uncle Nong. - Uncle Nong.
She looks very good, doesn't she?
Right, now you can use your maiden name, Sulan.
lf you both could keep an open mind towards Mitsuko, that would be even better.
That's different. Mitsuko is Japanese.
Ting'en, only ten days to the challenge match. Please practice hard.
- Thanks! A Biao, come here. - Coming.
A Min, take these back inside.
You are taking such good care of Ting'en.
l take care of everyone.
ls Ting'en the best one in Jing Wu Men?
Yes.
What about Chen Zhen?
They are both the same, equally good.
Master, l am sorry.
- Are you alright, Master? - l am fine.
Come on, let's do it again.
What's on Master's mind? Why is he scared?
BLACK DRAGON CLAN
Mr. Funakoshi, l've delivered your challenge proposal to Jing Wu Men.
l want you to understand one thing.
Who l will challenge Kung Fu with, and what l will do, is no business of the military.
Allow me to remind you, all of the expenses of Black Dragon Clan in China
are paid by our military.
lt doesn't matter.
You can cut back Black Dragon Clan's budget from now on.
l don't think the Chairman, Mr. Oshima, will agree with you.
l tell you, don't threaten me with the Chairman's name.
l am just a head master in Martial Arts. l am not a politician.
CHALLENGE PROPOSAL
You are up so early.
Good morning.
Mr. Funakoshi?
Uncle Funakoshi?
Mitsuko, how do you live so far away from town?
- l'd have hired a carriage if l'd known it. - Has my father sent you here?
Your father is very busy, and l haven't seen you for a long time.
Why are you here then?
- lt's for him. - Chen Zhen?
- Have you two married yet? - Not yet.
Aren't you two living together?
We want to get married,
but neither the Chinese nor the Japanese would approve it.
Luckily you haven't married yet.
- lf he's dead, you won't be a widow. - What did you just say?
lf you are the one who dies, l will take your ashes back to Japan.
Kid, are you really that confident?
What? The two of you are going to have a match? Chen Zhen, why didn't you tell me?
Men don't have to tell everything to women.
Chen Zhen, this way.
Tell me, what should be the most powerful punch?
lt's about focusing the body's energy to one single point, that's it.
lt's really powerful.
But l've never seen the rock that would hit back a human being.
How can you name that the most powerful punch?
Whatever you say, shall we try it now?
- So, tell me what is the best defence? - lt's offence.
lt's better to use the energy to attack rather than waste it to defend,
and to punch the opponent powerfully with the shortest time.
According to what you said, the Huo Fist is the same as Karate.
They are the hard core style.
You are just saying it but not understanding it?
Energy is wasted if there is no softness in the hard core,
and attack is inefficient with hardness in the softness.
Power won't exist without both elements.
Sir, what have you taught your disciples?
Has your master ever taught you about controlling your anger in a match?
Kid, you are going to suffer a lose if you act like this.
My master never talked as much as you. Are we ready to start yet?
Wait!
Hold it.
An old man like me needs to warm up.
- What style is that? - Whatever, it's a good one if it wins.
Are you alright?
l am fine.
l won't take any advantage from you.
We shall stop.
Are you alright?
lt's very rare for a young man like you to be so skillful and talented.
lt's astonishing for an old man like you to have such power.
l've heard that Chinese have a saying, "the fist fears the strength of the youth."
lt's so true.
But l've lost.
l adopted the theory that you've just told me.
The Chinese Martial Arts always emphasize on self-discipline
rather than strength.
You've broadened my views.
The objective of a match is to beat the opponent.
Wrong, young man.
The best way to beat the opponent is to use a gun.
The ultimate goal of Martial Arts is to maximize one's energy.
lf you want to achieve this ultimate goal,
you need to understand the soul of the universe.
l must go. Take care.
Aren't we fighting in a match?
Only animals fight.
We are at a draw.
However, l cannot represent all of Japanese.
There are so many supreme warriors in Japan.
Mr. Funakoshi, aren't you the number one warrior in Japan?
Everyone says Mr. Funakoshi is the best.
But they refer to his self-discipline and dignity rather than his expertise in killing.
Mr. Huo Yuan Jia,
l didn't expect you to have such a good disciple.
The number one in Hong Kou Arena now
is the so-called killing machine, Fujita Gou.
Young man, you take care.
You've lost!
l am impressed, your chess skills have improved so much.
Too bad, life isn't as easy as a chess game.
A few years ago,
Dr. Sun Yixian was best friends with our Black Dragon Clan.
Today Black Dragon is rotten,
it's more and more like the military,
and they want to conquer China.
Conquer China?
Those idiots are just day-dreaming.
They are not just day-dreaming.
Currently, the Japanese army troops in China
are more than half of the military strength in Japan.
l know this, but Japan's situation now is like a very strong ant
that wants to bite a sleeping elephant.
While the elephant is asleep,
the ant has an advantage.
lf the elephant is awaken by the pain, even the strongest ant can never win.
However, l think China, the elephant, is still asleep.
There's more than one ant aiming to bite it.
lt will wake up.
Right! Too bad.
Most of the Japanese won't believe you.
ln the past decades,
Japan has made huge profit from every war,
and Japan is ambitious to become a big empire.
Just look at General Fujita, Japan has got far too many people like him.
With things being like this, the war isn't avoidable.
You are back.
How are you?
- ls Chen Zhen around? - He isn't back yet.
Please have a seat.
- Please have a cup of tea. - Thank you.
- Have you learned Chinese? - Yes, a little.
You speak it very well.
Chen Zhen, you are back. Mr. Huo is here.
How's it going? What have you been up to?
l've had a job in the telegram bureau.
- Do you want to give up Jing Wu Men? - lt's not an issue anymore.
Even if l am not in Jing Wu Men,
my job can also be meaningful.
How about coming back to Jing Wu Men?
l've brought Xiao Hong back to Jing Wu Men.
The one from Dizzy Star House?
- You haven't met her, have you? - Congratulations.
You can bring Mitsuko back to Jing Wu Men.
They are willing to accept Xiao Hong, but not Mitsuko.
Because she is Japanese.
Mitsuko sacrificed herself for you, so she is obviously a good woman.
What would the others think?
lf l bring her back to Jing Wu Men, it would cause too much trouble.
l cannot be selfish.
l've learned a fist style lately.
- What style is it? - Let me teach you.
- This is like Huo Fist. - Right!
lt's Mizong Fist of Huo Style.
But Master has said that Mizong Fist is only for the Huo clan.
The Mizong Fist is just one of the Fist Styles.
The only difference is it was created by my dad.
Chen Zhen, please promise me.
l'll be in a challenge match at Hong Kou Arena tomorrow.
lf anything happened to me, please inherit this fist style and teach it to others.
The more people who learn it, the better.
l am sorry, l have decided to leave.
There are things in life more important than love.
Without me by your side, you can do a lot more.
Keep your promise.
When the Japanese military returns to Japan,
l'll be waiting for you in Kyoto.
A Lun and l will go there.
Ting'en, l am worried. Maybe you should bring more men with you.
They will be fine.
lf too many people go, the Japanese will think we are afraid of them.
Right.
l'll be back.
Xiao Hui, please take care of her.
Ting'en!
l speak Japanese, l'm coming with you.
Let's go.
The two of them are going together, they will be just fine.
General, Mr. Funakashi Fumio has left Shanghai early this morning.
He is a stubborn old man!
He's an enemy of the military since he won't collaborate with us.
- Send news to Tokyo. - Yes!
General, shall we cancel the challenge match with Jing Wu Men?
No. We cannot rely on Black Dragon Clan for everything.
- l'm going to personally handle this matter. - Yes!
lt's good that the two of you are here.
Mr. Huo, l have good news for you. l have found the murderer of your father.
Come out!
He was bribed.
He poisoned all of the crocodile meat that you brought home.
He is the one who betrayed Jing Wu Men.
lt's alright. Take him away.
- Go out! Don't come in without my order! - Yes.
Everyone out!
SICK MEN OF EAST ASIA
lf you lose, l'll give this sign to you, and if you beat me you can destroy it.
Take it!
- Can you walk? - Yes.
Don't move!
He's dead.
Mr. Ambassador. The General Fujita is dead.
Police. Don't move or l will shoot!
Don't move. Take it easy.
- Are you OK? - l'm fine.
Freeze!
You're just the police of the British territory. You do not enforce the law in here!
l am not a police officer. l am a Chinese man, you jerk!
l will take Chen Zhen and Huo Ting'en with me.
What are you talking about? Do you think you can leave here?
Don't move! Stop moving!
Now we'll see who gives the orders in my country.
Stop it!
Stop! Everyone hold your fire.
l think we need to resolve this issue in a peaceful manner.
General Fujita is dead.
lt's not worth the waste of any more lives.
- Lieutenant. - Yes.
- Remove your men. - Sir?
Lieutenant, l am the highest commander here now.
- Are you going to obey my order? - Yes!
Attention. Move out.
Mr. Jie, a Japanese General is dead,
and l need to know who the murderer is,
or l have no way to report to my government,
and the Japanese military won't let it go.
Do you mean that if l don't die,
Japan will declare war with this excuse?
Fine, then l will sacrifice myself.
Great. You truly are a hero.
Back off, back off. There is nothing here.
Back off, back off. Don't block the way.
This person looks like Chen Zhen.
Have they really killed Chen Zhen?
SEALED BY COMMAND OF SHANGHAI FOREIGN DISTRICT BUREAU
Why did the British make a concession to the Japanese this time?
lt's not a concession. The British and Japanese are working together.
- They ganged up to bully the Chinese. - Right, they are.
Chen Zhen was truly a hero.
He punched Hong Kou Arena like a piece of shit.
Fantastic!
Too bad he died too young.
- What's the matter? - Nothing, nothing, let's go back.
How weird.
l cannot believe A Xiang's the culprit.
We both were so nice to him.
He's the scapegoat for Chen Zhen, he finally did something good.
Chen Zhen, where are we going now?
Which part of China is fighting with the Japanese?
Tungshan Province.
Let's go there then.
