Go...
Hurry...
Xiaohu, come on
Brother Hong...
Brother Tong
How come he's the only one who could get out?
Brother
Brother Hong, our master...
Our master will be fine, let's go
Brother Hong, our master's killed by Master White Brows
Master
Brother Hong
Don't go, you'll get yourself killed
Though the Qing soldiers burnt down Shaolin Temple
...but a number of us fled
We can think of a come back plan later
Brother Hong, when there's a will, there's a way
Let's go, Brother Hong
Go
It's an ambush
Run
Brother
Hurry... run
Where's Brother Fang Shiyu?
He...
Brother
Be careful, everyone
Brother Hong, we are surrounded
You're our best fighter, get them out of here
Brother Tong, you...
I... Brother Hong
I rely upon you to avenge for our master
Go
Let's charge
Go
Run
Don't let them run
Hurry
Xiaohu, let's split up and head south
Surrender
Move over
We must capture them alive
You're Hong Xiguan?
Take a closer look, I'm Tong Qianjin
Tong Qianjin, capture him, he's useful too
Yes
Shaolin hero, there's no point to resist
You traitor
Your Excellency...
Kill him
Archers
Your Excellency...
Shoot
He...
He's a true hero
Good day, your highness
Master, the Court is very pleased with us
burning down Shaolin Temple
But Tong Qianjin was very good on his own
Many fled, including Hong Xiguan
We...
As a Governor you're responsible for 2 counties
Yes, I'm saying that if I can't handle it...
Master Zhishan was killed by me
It's not much of a big deal
The Shaolin supporters should know about
the power of my body protection skills
Just do your job properly
I'm sure you'll be promoted by the Court
Thanks for your teaching, master
"Border of Guangzhou"
"Showcasing: Story of Yue Fei"
Qin Kuai, you traitor
You collaborated with the Tartars
Worked as the enemy's lackey
You're inhuman, killing your own people
Capture him!
You can kill me today
But you can't kill all our warriors
Behead him!
You are all traitors. Arrest them
Yes
Let's split up
Are you alright?
Where's our Brother Hong?
Which Brother Hong?
He's on the Red Boat
Why are you still in opera tone?
What are you laughing at?
Alright...
Take us to him
Let's go
During this Shaolin's catastrophe
Master Zhishan sacrificed himself
And so were many of our brothers
Such as Brother Tong Qianjin
We must take revenge
Brother Hong, watch it
Don't drown the boat
Stop kidding
Yes...
Quite a number of us fled
Some headed north to the capital
And we came here to Guangdong Province
This Red Boat will be our meeting point
You all go on different Red Boats
Be aware of the Qing's lackeys
We must try our best to overthrow this
...tyrannical rule
Yes
Don't gather together...
unless it's urgent
Scatter all over the country
The Qing Court might eliminate some of us
But not all of us
Even though we're on the boat
But we must keep practicing
Don't let your martial arts go rusty
Yes
Leave now
Go
Remember to practice
We will
I'll be waiting for you
Bye
Hold on
Xiaohu, you...
Brother Hong, we're not leaving...
without you
Red Boats were a strong military unit
organized by the Shaolin against the tyrannical
Manchurian regime
They played pivotal roles in various uprisings
Shaolin students who fled to Guangdong
...posed as theatrical troupes and,
traveled around on Red Boats...
to cover their land and sea activities.
Good
The Red Boat's here. Good, there'll be shows
The Red Boat keeps following us, Uncle Fang
Hey, we've a good show for you today
Show them what we've got
Let's go, Yongchun
No, I'll wait for him
We have a good show tonight
General Yue killing the Jin soldiers
...and Tartars
Don't miss it
They're all real kung fu experts
On and off stage
That's the kung fu of Red Boat?
No big deal
Stop
Excuse me, miss. What did you say?
I said there's no big deal with your kung fu
Don't perform here, leave
Take her away
Yes
Uncle Fang
Terrific stance
I don't mind taking on a few more
Don't be so sure
Tiger Style Boxing
Crane Style Boxing
That's enough...
My niece is crude, please forgive her
Very impressive
Not at all
You two are...
Street performers
Yongchun
So are we
Please excuse my men's rashness
I'd like to invite you to the boat for a chat
Brother Hong, this girl is feisty
I don't think it's such a good idea
Uncle Fang, Hong...
Hong Xiguan
Work faster
What is it, Xiaohu?
Uncle Fang, look
Uncle Fang, I think
we should start preparing the wedding
In the past few months
Those two spent time together
If they carry on like this
Brother Hong's kung fu will get rusty
Miss Fang will forget her Crane style boxing
Agree?
Yes
Uncle Fang, you...
Xiaohu, what did you say?
I said
we should all address you as Mrs. Hong
Stop it
Alright, then... Mrs. Hong
Mrs. Hong
You're blushing like a bride
Light the firecrackers
Stop staring. Close the door, Ah Mei
Hurry, close the door
Quiet, the groom
Where's the bride?
The bride...
You should show her now
No need. I'll bring her out for you
Light the firecrackers
Good
This is your big day
You can't be violent to me
The bride...
Ignore him, Yongchun
Get out
It's not the time to raid the bridal chamber yet
What are you trying to do?
So fierce
I don't have the guts
Agreed I ain't scared of Mrs. Hong, but I am...
afraid of Brother Hong, right?
Absolutely
Brother Hu, Brother Hong the groom
won't beat us up
I'm sure he won't mind
Xiaohu, you are wrong
But if you go out of line...
Brother Hong, do you remember that
Mrs. Hong once said our kung fu skills
...aren't too much of a big deal?
No matter what
It's your wedding night tonight
I think you should be...
a submissive wife to Brother Hong
Nonsense
I'm serious
If you grip your knees too tight
Then...
Yongchun
Xiaohu, you're way out of line
Brother Hong, I'm only kidding
Don't worry
I'm serious
You can't do that...
Yongchun, stop it
Get out, it's time for the rites
Get out
Thanks
Bye
Shall we go raid the bridal chamber?
Good idea
Let's go
So shy
That's enough, go back to sleep
Raiding the bridal chamber is a tradition
That's enough
We aren't done yet
Since he slammed the door
...now we can't see what's going on in there
Stop laughing
Tomorrow you can ask Mrs. Hong
what she reckons of your kung fu
We'll stop now, Brother Hong
Let's stop
Let's drink over there
Let's go
They're crazy
They are your brothers
Of course they will want to see you in charge
Don't listen to them, we're married now
Yongchun, let's go to bed
I'll help you
I'll do it myself
Yongchun, are you suggesting that
I must spread your knees apart?
Right, show me your skills
Yongchun, never mind, don't be mad
Just do it
You shouldn't listen to them
Fine, but if I use real strength
I might hurt you
It's late, go to bed
Yongchun
Have another go
I'm going to sleep now
Brother Hong... what are you doing here?
Why did you sleep here? You...
Brother Hong, you...
Shut up
Xiguan, what are you doing here?
Where's Yongchun?
Uncle Fang, Yongchun...
Yongchun's very stubborn
It's all because of Xiaohu
Poor Xiaohu
I haven't seen him all day
I don't know where he's hiding
Xiaohu has told me all about it
Uncle Fang, do you have any suggestions?
Come here...
Yongchun
There's no need to beg
Fine, I'll try again
You...
That didn't count
What are you talking about?
Yongchun
No...
Xiaohu
Don't go
Come here
Shaolin culprits are hiding on Red Boats
We must get rid of them all
Burn all the Red Boats
The top's on fire
Let's run for it
Go
Brother Hong...
Everyone's here, Brother Hong
Everyone's here
Yes
In the past few months
The Manchurian lackeys have been burning down
...red boats. We must go ashore
Remember to scatter as far from each other
But we must keep in touch
We must avenge for the wrongs done
Yes
Hurry, go ashore
Yes
Go
You too, Xiaohu
Brother Hong, I'll follow you
There's no need to
Xiguan
I'm ready
Brother Hong, your wife is already...
Uncle Fang has gone north
You will need someone to help
Brother Hong...
Your wife...
What about her?
It's time...
Ling, hurry
Brother Hong, sit here
Calm down
Hold on, it's almost done
Sit down first
Hold on
Congratulations, master
A healthy son
Xiaohu
Xiaohu, it's a boy
Wending's almost asleep
Must be almost six months old now
Five months and 20 days
Of late we've just been running around
Haven't had time for my training
I'll get back into Tiger Style Boxing training
tomorrow. I've to avenge for my master
Ah Tong sacrificed himself hoping I'll take revenge
You are no match for Master White Brows
That's an understatement of Tiger Style Boxing
I know that the Tiger Style is peerless
But the body protection skills of Master White Brows
His body is like a rock, you can't hurt him
Maybe you should practice my Crane style too
Oh, come on! I don't want to learn the Crane Style
You can teach our son
You'll have to practice for 10 more years
If that's what it takes
You must concentrate while you practice
...or your stance will be unstable
Hands besides your waist,
stand firm
Mom, I don't want to do this for too long
It's the daily routine, do your best
Look at Hong Wending,
he is standing there like an idiot!
You're an idiot
Hong Wending, you learn from your mom
That must be the type of kung fu for girls
You might turn into a girl if you keep practicing
Shut up
What if I don't?
Even you have no idea that whether you're a girl or a boy
Let's find out
Alright
Go
Don't come near me
What if we do?
You're such a sissy!
Exactly
Let's pull his legs apart. Okay?
Good idea
I can't
What's going on?
That hurts
Leave me alone
We won't. What if we don't?
Then I'll beat you up
Wending
Stop it, Wending
His dad's here, let's go
Why are you bullying others?
They started it
Nonsense. You mustn't fight
You can't pick a fight from now on
Let's go
Wending, you...
I want a piggyback ride home
Stop it, come down now
Unless you can throw me down
Otherwise I want a piggyback ride home
Wending, don't blame me if you hurt your bum
Alright
Lower
Mom, I get a piggyback ride home
Wending, you're 10, don't be so naughty
Dad couldn't topple me down!
Come on
You've taught him well
Yongchun, since Wending's born
I've been practicing for 10 years
Lately I've been informed
of the whereabouts of Master White Brows
I should go look for him
Mom, who is Master White Brows?
What does father want from him?
Wending, go play
Wending
Maybe he should listen
I must go, if I can't get rid of White Brows
Shaolin students will be looked down upon
I understand, but you're not his match
Do you still want me to learn your Crane Style?
You're too stubborn
Yongchun
Yongchun, after I'm gone
Xiaohu can watch out for you when I'm away
There's no need, I can take care of myself
Remember this
If you can take it, then stay
If you can't, then escape
Father, who's Master White Brows
Listen well, Wending
Master Zhishan of Shaolin Temple was my master
He was killed by Master White Brows
"White Brows Temple"
Please wait, mister
We aren't opened to the public here
I'm looking for Master White Brows
Mister...
Stop it
Are you Hong Xiguan?
Of all the students of Zhishan
I knew you'd be the only one to look for me
You've got guts
Before fighting with me
You must break through the two swords
I'm more versed in Tiger Style Boxing than you
You ain't good enough to avenge for your master yet
Am I right?
Couldn't locate it, right?
If you can take it, then stay; if not, then escape
Xiaohu...
Xiaohu
Brother Hong, sorry I'm late
I found out that
If you want to take Master White Brows' life
You must strike his vital points between 1 to 3 pm
Then you'll stand a chance
Xiaohu
Run
Xiaohu
The vital points
Xiaohu
Mom, Uncle Xiaohu's dead
He won't be telling me stories anymore
Am I right?
Shut up
Don't scare our kid
Wending, although Uncle Xiaohu's dead
But he saved your father's life
He sacrificed himself
He's a real hero
Xiaohu
Father, I want to be a real hero
just like Uncle Xiaohu
Wending
Father
My boy
Mom, I want to grow up
Grow up...
Mom
Pass that to me
Alright, hold it
Very good
Get up
Come on, mom
You can go to your father
I'm too tired now
Do you think I can beat father?
He's been training hard for many years
You're still far behind him
I'd try again
Don't attack him from behind like last time
...and break your nose!
It won't happen again
Too slow
Right
3 pm
Wending, don't you know that
you shouldn't spy on your father?
Mom, I'm not spying
I'm waiting for my chance to strike
It's not time yet
White Brows
Alright, it's a draw
How can you say 'draw' when you've lost?
I should say I've won
Go ask mom if you don't believe it
Almost got you
Yes, almost
but it could be fatal
Thanks father
Have you tried everything?
Yes
Really?
Yes
I don't believe you
It's time to eat
Please, father
After you
Take this, father. Not too fat or too lean
You two...
Mom, it's not my fault, it's father...
Stop it
You two are crazy
If you keep this up
You'll bring down the house
Just get on with the meal
Look
I've just washed those
Stop laughing! Wash them again
And darn all the torn clothes
Mom, I don't know needlework
Get your father to do it
Father, you mend them
You'll challenge White Brows again?
Yes
I haven't forgotten my mission
I know you haven't
It's been 7 years
We've kept contact with our supporters all these years
And we've been resisting against the Qing army
But with White Brows alive, Gao has the power
I know, but the skills of White Brows
I've been practicing on a copper dummy
...concentrating on attacking the vital points
I have confidence that
I've found the way to attack White Brows
If only you would practice the Crane Style for 3 years
That's enough
We've never learnt kung fu from each other
It's been like this for 10 years
This time around...
If I can take it, I'll stay
If not, I may escape. Right?
Anything else you want to tell me?
No
Don't worry. I'll leave tomorrow
I'll be back in 10 days
Wending, come here
I'll be away for 10 days, you must behave
This isn't your first time away father
I'll listen to mom
Mom, you seem worried
Your father has gone to challenge White Brows
Even if he fails
He can come back like last time
White Brows let him got away last time
because your father's skills weren't any good
He didn't take your father seriously
Now that he's mastered the Tiger Style Boxing
White Brows will take him seriously
So he won't let him off so easily
Father
What are you doing here?
You shouldn't go to Master White Brows
Nonsense, did your mom send you?
No, I'm here on my own
You must go back with me
Can you make me?
With this
Wending, you're out of line
Go home
Not unless you come with me
I must go to find White Brows
You're not a kid anymore, you should understand
I do, but you aren't his match
Who said so?
Are you going home or not?
You mustn't go, I insist
Don't go, father
It's my mission to avenge for my master
and get rid of the evil for our country
No one can stand in my way
If you lose, you'll die
Nonsense, last time I got back
you were only ten
You heard that Uncle Xiaohu's dead
You said that you wanted to be a hero
Years ago, Uncle Tong...
knew there's an ambush of the Qing army
He and few brothers risked their lives to stop them
Why did he ask me to leave?
He wants me to avenge for our master...
and resist the Qing Court
Wending, sometimes
you have to do something even it's life threatening
You should know that this time round
...I may not win
But I may not be killed
I believe I may not be killed
I've been selfish
I've been putting this on hold for you
Now that you've grown up
I have to do this before I lose my courage
Or I'd turn into a coward
No, you're most brave
I'm off now. Do you still want to intercept?
What is it?
Hong Xiguan's here
It's noon
Let him go
The Governor's ordered that
we must block all ways out
Don't let Hong Xiguan get away
Go
Master White Brows
You're here too, Gao Jinzhong
Master White Brows
Gao Jinzhong will die with you today
Jinzhong, I've told you before
That there's no need to look for Hong Xiguan
He'll come to your doorsteps
Just as you expected
I'll take your life today, Hong Xiguan
Impressive Tiger Claws
Hit the vital points
Hold on
Hong Xiguan
You've improved a lot in these 7 years
You're using Tiger Style Boxing to attack
...my vital points
But that's not the way to do it
3 pm
Hong Xiguan, you've estimated the...
best time to strike my vital points
You expected that my weak point is in my lower torso
But I've trained to move my weak point up and down
And now it's concentrated in my upper torso
Jinzhong
Master
The Court wants him alive
So that he'll tell us where the others are
Take him
Yes
Take him away
Yes
Mom, father said he'll be back in 10 days
Twelve days have gone by
He won't be coming back
Mom, you are saying...
Don't panic
Face the reality
Mom, are you saying that...
father's been killed?
Aren't you sad about that?
Of course I'm, but I have a son
Wending, you must tackle White Brows
Fine, I'll go right away
Remember, unless it's crucial
Otherwise don't use my style
Then what should I use?
Tiger Style Boxing
But father never taught me
I begged him several times
But he said that since I've learnt the Crane Style
...he didn't want me to learn both
That's why...
Wending, your father had a Tiger Style Boxing manual
Years ago he used to refer to it everyday
Do you know where it is?
I've found it
Bring it over
What are you doing?
Mom, you and father had agreed that
you won't learn from each other
Then you shouldn't look at this manual
Right
He would have let me read it if he wanted
Right. Now even though he's not here...
you should keep your promise
Do you want me
to learn the Tiger Style Boxing by the book?
Yes
Mom, I'll practice everyday
I'll now read it first
Good boy
Mom, I didn't mean to lie to you
But if you knew that half of it has gone
You wouldn't let me go
These two beads...
Noon, 3 pm
The upper torso or the lower torso?
Alright, I'll try the upper half first
Nothing?
Got it
3 pm... when will it come out?
Am I too quick or too slow?
Wending, how's the training going?
Fine, I've finished the whole style
Show me
Mom
Hurry
Yes
Keep going
Wait, that didn't look right
Do that again
I told you to do it again
And... again
Yes
Mom, father created the Tiger Style
If you want me to keep going
You might think of father
Please don't be sad, mom
I'll show you if you want
Wending, that's enough
Just do this on your own from now on
I won't bother you
What's the next move?
I better concentrate on the Crane Style
Don't worry, mom. I remember what you said
Tiger Style first, then Crane Style
I just worry that your Tiger Style isn't good enough
Mom, although I've only practiced for a year
I focused on the Tiger Style, attacking on vital points
and the Crane Style you taught me
I'm confident I'll win over White Brows
That's your father's wish
I'll come back when White Brows is dead
Father, I've only learnt a part of Tiger Style
I made up all the other moves
Bless me
If only I can take down the adversary
...I'm prepared to sacrifice
What are you doing?
The Grand Master is meditating at this time
Don't make any sound
I didn't
Just get on with the cleaning
Meditation inside
How did you come in?
I jumped through the wall
Get out, no trespassing
Get out
What? No trespassing?
You are Master White Brows?
You killed Shaolin's Master Zhishan;
And you're responsible for the death
of Hong Xiguan, the hero?
Who are you?
Me?
Tiger Style Boxing
Your skills are much worse than Hong Xiguan's
Are you trying to get yourself killed?
How many more of Shaolin students I'll have to kill?
What's your name?
Hong Wending
Son of Hong Xiguan
Good, I'll weed out the roots
Right, and I'm going to get rid of you
Stop it
No one taught you Tiger Style Boxing after
...Hong's death. Let me teach you
Thanks, master
Eyes
The Back
Tumbling down
Crawling
So, am I a better teacher...
than your father?
What kind of style is this?
Shaolin's traditional Tiger Style Boxing
Who taught you these moves?
The Spirit of Master Zhishan taught me
What else have you got, kid?
Wending eventually used...
Tiger & Crane combination to kill Master White Brows
