Hey, watch it!
Mercy...
Lord, mercy...
Mercy please...
Mercy...
Mercy...
'Noon Gate'
Hold it, don't come any closer
Here's the order of His Majesty
Mercy, lord...
Brother Siupao, you suffered a wrongful death
Lord He Suo
Unscrupulous Sima Cheukyin
How dare you call me by my name!
I have here the imperial edict
You're late
Late?
Chan Siupao was supposed to be executed at Noon Gate
...but you've been imposing illegal punishment here
Where on earth is justice?
I am the law
He Suo, you inhuman dog!
Kill
Yes...
Shaolin teaches me to be a strong person in life
Teaches me to be benignant
to be responsible, brave
I will always be a follower of Shaolin
To free the oppressed
and uphold the spirit of Shaolin
Search your own destiny
with your soul and body
Create miracles
Let's be Shaolin men
Filled with compassion
Never retreat
Always fearless
Never fearing the evil & mighty
You haven't struck through yet
I will succeed no matter what
Then go on and strike
If the guardian monks see this after they have...
finished their morning prayers, you'll be in trouble
You wanna destroy the tree too!
The birds will be shaken down
Why, didn't their parents keep a close watch?
You've scared them all away
Oh, a bird has fallen
Be careful...
Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you
The guardian monk is coming, let's go
Good, this is a chubby one
It'll be almost full just by eating this
Right
How dare you kill and eat birds?
Master, you're mistaken
Mistaken...
You want to deny
I've seen you killing birds with my own eyes & saying:
It was plump & you'd be full just by eating this one
Is that correct?
Yes, we did say that;
But we are not killing, we are healing
You call this healing?
I'll have to see how you're going to heal
C'mon, out with it
See, each one of them is alive
This nest actually fell from the tree
We were afraid that they would be lonely
...and might die of hunger
That's why we've found this
...big fat worm for them
This is healing, not killing
It's killing. Aren't worms living creatures, too?
If the birds eat them, the worm will die
This a living creature, that a living creature
If the birds don't eat, they'll die of hunger
Lives would perish when not rescued if in danger
Lives also perish when saving lives by the living
What... what are we going to do?
Go on with your practice
Master Wu Lou, we'll go practise our kung fu
In Buddhist doctrine you excel. I'll leave this to you
Hey, come back
What am I going to do?
Hurry
No, Master is waiting for us
Just follow your rules. Let's go
Lives would perish when not rescued if in danger
Lives also perish when saving lives by the living
I... what am I going to do?
Better save the big ones
Zhi Ming, cover your foot bangle
Where have you been?
Oh, we had gone to save the living
Right, to save the living
Save the living?
Go practise your kung fu
Put in more strength
Try harder
You kid, dare to ambush me?
You've got a worm on your body
Lying to me!
Master, there's really a worm on your body
See, I didn't lie to you
Can't kill the living
Is that killing the living?
Master Wu Lou says so
Master Wu Lou?
Go, practise
Continue
Why are you killing?
Right, I forgot... it's my fault
Master Wu Lou is right
Shut up and practise
Alright, Power of a thousand dragons
Where lies the power?
Power from the knees
Holding the pole in hands
Inner sight is in your heart
Where's wisdom?
Guard & defend Buddhism
Fire up your power
Alright, listen to me
Striking from here will have limited thrust
The further it is from your body, the more powerful
You must remember this
Every move has its theory on the training ground
Continue
How come Zhi Ming's practice always seems so fierce!
Miss Sima Yan
Any news?
We've got news from the capital that...
Lord He Suo is going to hold a birthday banquet
Really?
Yes...
Let's prepare to go there and seize this chance
Yes
Dad!
Zhi Ming, you are getting crazy
Wei Fang
Are you alright?
Your punches are really amazing
Sorry
Haven't you gone to bed yet?
I came looking for you
For me?
I can't sleep
The night patrol is here
Come on
Hey, look
It's late, he's still practising
Well, it don't look like Master's practising
It rather seems like he's shivering
Master
Master, are you not feeling well?
How do you know, have you been peeping?
No, Master
We thought you were practising
I was practising to keep warm
Wow, such great powers even when sick!
It's late, go back to sleep
Master, we'll go pick some herbal medicine for you
My lad, we martial artists...
don't need medicine for minor ailments
Go to sleep
Zhi Ming, haven't you practised enough?
If we don't try harder...
how can one win the contest tomorrow?
You're too much. I'll go to take a shower
Brothers, finished with your practice?
Right
Superb. Go and have a shower then
Come on
Alright...
Master is here...
One, two, three
Smells real good
Brothers, eat...
Come on, start eating
Eat some more
We need energy for a forceful fist-power
Right...
Oh, right
Zhi Ming, can you eat that much?
Eat more and we'll have more strength
You've taken all the steamed buns
What are they going to eat?
Master, I was just...
Hey, share them with the others
Yes
Master, this one is for you
Master, a steamed bun can be extremely nutritious
Master, is it good?
Give them to the others
Brothers, eat...
Yours, yours...
Good, isn't it!
Yeah, it's really delicious
Today is the contest between the Fist & Pole Chambers
...to promote interest in the martial arts
It will depend on who can grab the pen kept here
in the time allowed of one portion of rice; & succeed
...in writing the word 'Buddha' on the white cloth
The losing team will have to carry water for 15 days
It will be a draw...
if no one can complete it within the time limit
Then both groups will have to carry water for 10 days
Ready
Begin
Write it
Write...
Let me try
Write...
Hurry...
Master, it's within time
We win... I...
We have won...
Brother Shi Ren, thank you
I'm ashamed...
This pen is still moist with ink
Put it on yourself then
Master!
'Putian Shaolin Temple'
Chao Wei...
Master Fa Ren
Master Fa Ren
Sima Yan has written that she's going to the capital
Going to the capital?
What is the matter?
For celebrating...
Lord He Suo's birthday
I understand
It'd be too risky for her
She's stubborn
Once she goes she'd either win or die
Then I must go and fetch her back
It's too late
Chao Wei, go to the capital immediately and help her
I just hope she can come back safely
Yes
Master...
Master... why are you so late?
Yes...
Late? I almost couldn't come
How come?
What happened?
Talk about it! I had to lose deliberately
I saw the pigeon you sent. What is it?
Master, you didn't realise that...
Realise what?
We'll have a big task on our hands
Right
Your kung fu is not good enough for big tasks
Come Master
Come out
This place is sacrosanct, what are you doing?
We only want to celebrate the birthday
Oh, your ancestor's birthday, is it?
No, the Henan governor was delegating some elites
With the kung fu you taught us...
we have been chosen for the lion dance
Yes
That's good. Going to the capital...
will make your ancestors proud
But our skills are still lacking
so can you teach us a few more moves?
Yes... Please teach us...
Okay, watch
Whose birthday did you say?
Lord He Suo
The same He Suo who has retired for many years?
Yes, presently he wields great power
and everyone is celebrating his birthday
That's why we are joining in as well
Teacher...
I've been impatiently waiting for you
Finally you appear. I will kill you!
Teacher, you want to kill us?
Not you fellas
I have 15 more days to carry the water
Alright, I'll go on your behalf
What are you doing?
Don't be over cautious
Yes...
Please enjoy yourselves
Yes...
Good
Good, nice
The high flying lion dance from governor of Henan
He wishes you many happy returns of the day
Good
Good
Step back
Yes...
Move
Wishing me longevity; excellent!
Carry on
Very good; you'll be rewarded
Assassin
Shoot
Shoot
Miss Sima, get away quickly
Nab them all
Yes...
Don't move
Run quickly
I can't hold on much longer
Fight with them
Go
Come on
After them
Chase
Capture him
C'mon, move
Why are you fighting in my cart?
It's too ridiculous
The assassin's in the cart, grab him
Go...
Grab him
Don't let him get away... Go
Over there
Go quickly
Grab him
Grab him
Get hold of him
C'mon hurry up, after them...
Sima Yan, Sima Yan...
Please be appeased
You are scared by a little noise from fire crackers
Both of you supervisors
You haven't come to celebrate my birthday, huh!
We have indeed
But... an assassin has sneaked in
Right
Sneaked in?
This is to say you sneaked in too
Your majesty, we are appointed by the emperor
Bloody lackeys
If the assassin is not caught you'll die
It's our fault
We deserve death
This assassin has come from the south
They will not go far
We must have the whole city on alert
We will...
Listen up
Yes
The city will be under curfew
No one must escape
Yes...
Search inside...
Be careful
Careful...
Keep searching
Hold it there... don't you run!
Young man, you must be nuts
They've gone, why are you still on me?
So what? You're not a girl
I...
What the hell!
Firstly you plot and then you kick off your aides
Sorry
What sorry... keep your distance from now on
That's what I'd want
Every time I meet you something bad happens
You're such a coward
If you fear death don't follow me in my mission
Nonsense, I'm here to do justice
I wanna rid the people of an evil
Right, agreed we've the same objectives
...but we aren't partners
Hey wait!
What's your name? Where're you from?
Why'll I tell you, you want to sell me out?
Think I'd do that?
No use talking to you
Go quickly
You ungrateful bastards
I am not indebted to you
I won't lose to southern school
We will not lose to northern school either
Stop, it's a waste of energy
Why? I haven't lost
Neither have I
Shoot the arrows...
Close the door
Quick, let's get away
Chase
How is it?
Fine, it's just a scratch
Chao, thank you for your help
This has been arranged by Master Fa Ren
My uncle?
We have not killed the villain...
yet so many of our men have died
I should give up my life too
Sima Yan, don't worry
You'll get your chance one day
Lord He Suo is so alert
What alert?
If it weren't for you I would have killed him
Who asked you to kill him?
Should I report to you first?
What are you grumbling about?
Is it my fault?
Stop it, you two
How should we address you?
I am... Ding Ning
Ding Ning?
That's a strange name
What's so strange about it? And yours?
I'm Chao Wei and this is Sima...
Just call me Sima
Sima?
Someone is coming
Damn, we can't leave our goods here for long
That's right!
Who'd dare to make such a mess...
of the palace!
You're right
All roads to the south are now blocked
God knows when it'll be over
That's true
Hey, hurry up
Dammit, all roads to the south are blocked
What to do?
Follow me
Follow you?
Let's go
Mercy...
It's not them
Mercy
Get lost
Don't go. They will hit you
Leave me alone
You corrupt official
Want to die?
So what if I scold you
Oh no, beaten up so badly!
Why do you beat up people?
You are officials, how can you use force?
This is unacceptable
You're blocking my sheep
They need to move and eat grass
Where are you going?
We're going home
Not allowed, we're looking for an assassin
...and have to search everyone
Even the sheep
Okay. Go on
Do it quickly
Search
Do it quickly
Want to die?
No, it's my sheep
C'mon, get up
Oh my, the sheep are gone!
Stop
Stop them
I can't, it's your fault
You scared off my sheep
What should I do?
It's your fault
Oh dear, you officials are such bullies
You scared off my sheep
and you blame me; all my money's gone
This was meant for my dowry
You have to compensate me, pay me back...
I'll not let you go if you don't compensate me
Pay me back...
What are you laughing at? Get lost
You have to compensate me, pay me back...
Without money I can't get married now
Kick her away...
Go...
I'm not going...
I'm not going without compensation
Go on... off you go
Go...
Go...
Don't get into trouble, okay. Get going
So immoral!
She's insane. Let's get searching
You're here
A narrow escape!
Ding Ning, your crazy idea
What about it?
What, we spent all the money on the sheep
Now we're broke & it'd be so tough on us
Well, one's got to do what it takes
You're so unreasonable
Mr. reasonable, what do you suggest we do now?
Now? Well, pretend to be sheep
Huh, more of this?
Right
You pretend to be sheep, & I'll do the herding
You?
You have big eyes, thick eye brows
...and wide lips. Do you look like a shepherdess?
Then you do it!
Okay, I'll do it
You look convincing
But your accent however is not right
People would know you're from the south
You want to set me up, is all
Chao Wei, forget it!
Hey, hungry?
Yes
So what? There's nothing to eat
You've one-track grumbling mind. Gotta think something
Here's some food for you
Eat up...
C'mon, you eat it
Let go of me...
Next
Come in
Put me down
Don't hit people...
Sir, my sheep have to pass through the city
No
My sheep have to go back home
Let's go home
Go...
Grab her
Wow, this girl looks good
What are you doing?
Let me go, run sheep, run
You old pervert, have you not had enough yet?
Help!
Chase
Stand still
Run
Go into the city
After them...
Stop running...
Stand still
Attack...
Don't let them grab the horse
Don't let her go
Grab the horse
Quick, mount the horse
Get onto the horse
Chase them
Kill them
We are on the same side
Run, quick!
You're bleeding
I'm alright
What are we going to do?
Let's wait for him there
Someone's following us?
No
Let's go check in there
No one's inside the house
Go and hide inside, I'll help Chao Wei
Alright
Your wound!
I can take care of myself, hurry and go
Ding Ning, it's me
Oh, I thought it was a pursuer
You look like a military renegade
Military renegade?
Anything's better than being a sheep
This time you acted pretty smart
Where's Sima?
In the hut!
Hey, wait
No one's after us
What's with you?
I felt that this Sima...
is like... like
You... you touched her
I didn't
You, you took advantage of her
If a girl is touched by a man
...how can she face the other?
Man, I don't even know that she's a girl
I carried her and rode on the horse
You took advantage of her, that's it
How could I?
I am a monk
Monk? How would a monk kill?
I've to avenge my parents
Your parents?
Yes, He Suo killed a lot of people
Anyone should kill him...
and have no problem with it
Right, we will succeed next time
Ding Ning, where do you practise your vows?
I am Zhi Ming from Sungshan Shaolin
Northern Shaolin?
Alright, we're of the same family
Same family?
We are from the Putian Shaolin temple
She's Sima Yan
Would you then head back to South Shaolin?
Yes, but we don't know which way to go
All the roads are now blocked
Hey, we can try going via the water route
Good
Let's go
Look at you; come with me
Good
They are good
They can escape right in front of you
This proves that their kung fu is good
They might have arrived at the South safely
We've blocked all the roads
Damn, I'm going to kill you all
Spare us...
Shameless bunch!
I have to personally go down South...
and see how good they are
Prepare the boat
Yes
That's mine, not yours...
Please don't argue
You must be tired, take a rest!
Sprained your foot, is it?
I haven't
Are you alright?
Yeah, sure
Sima Yan, you are a grown up
How come you are still wearing foot bangle?
I've been wearing it since I was a child
Since you were a child?
Yes
It's from my parents
Where are your parents?
You still have to ask?
There'd be no need for revenge had they been alive
I'm here not only for revenge
I've also to search for someone
Who is it?
The one wearing a similar bangle as I do
If she's a girl...
we'll become sisters
What if it's a boy?
We'll become husband and wife
That means it's pre-arranged
Yes, it's been pre-arranged by my parents
Zhi Ming...
O' river... the river flowing in my heart
The long drawn-out troubles of my heart
are lapping like waves
I am drifting along
moving with the flow
The ever-piling anxieties of my heart
Revolve like a thousand whirlpools
Gathering around... all around you
And lighting my way
O' river... the river flowing in my heart
Endlessly drifting in your thoughts
Little river
You wouldn't understand me
...or my secrets
I must live with this concern weighing me down
What are you doing?
Taking advantage, huh!
What's the matter?
You ain't a good fella...
Nothing
It's nothing...
Thanks for putting it on for me
No problem...
I'm not cold now
Take it back then
It's almost dawn, have some rest
Alright
Then go away
Master, you...
Stop fighting
Break it off!
Who are you?
He's my Master, they are my brothers
Master?
Right, I am Shi Ren from Sungshan Shaolin
Master Shi Ren
You... came here all of a sudden
It's all because of Zhi Ming
He left without permission, breaking the law
Abbot is very angry and asked me to bring him back
Master, I left because...
I knew that you wanted to take revenge
Zhi Ming, there's no end to revenge
No end?
We can'tjust let our blood feud...
go unresolved!
So you are together in this
Right, we want to kill Lord He Suo...
to avenge our parents
Where are you from?
I am Chao Wei from Putian Shaolin
Sima Yan
South Shaolin? Shouldn't you be heading back?
Master, we've failed in assassinating He Suo
...and have been chased after
I want to... go with them
...and help them
No
You must come along with me
They...
You must go back to Putian by water route immediately
Let's go
Take care
Take care...
Come on
We can't stay here for long, let's go
Let's go
Master
Amitabha
Buddha
I have failed in supervising my student
It's a serious offence
I am willing to take the punishment
In recognition of your past contributions
I order you to lead twelve monks...
to escort Master Wu Lou to southern Shaolin
Yes
Abbot, I am responsible for...
all that has happened
Zhi Ming, you still want your revenge?
It's notjust for revenge
I am upholding the spirit of Shaolin...
to fight forjustice
You dare to lie in front of Buddha!
When your mother brought you here
you had to adhere strictly to a life...
of holiness
But you have failed!
Leaving without permission you should be expelled
But since you're still young and without shelter
...you're punished to face the wall for three years
Abbot
Amitabha
Move
Go inside
Yes, to face the wall
No big deal... you get going
So what, am I afraid of that?
Tell me, are they being reasonable?
They want me to face this wall for 3 years
Okay, don't damage the pictures
These are all drawn by you?
Of course by me
You're wrong
Where am I wrong?
What are you doing?
You... you...
You hit me!
I'm not hitting you, I'm hitting the abbot
How dare you!
These are pictures for me to practise kung fu
Practise kung fu?
Turtle
Right, Shaolin is famous for its kung fu
if we can't help the weak, we are useless
Helping the world is a heavenly blessing
Cause & effect don't matter; where's the enlightenment?
This would be...
Naturally the face wouldn't be bright!
For all living beings mercy is the salvation
That does make sense!
All of them have been drowned
Without sacrifice, how can he save people?
Right
You suggest that I should return to secular life?
Right. Son, you're ambitous
I reckon you should return to secular life
No, I can't
I was brought up in Shaolin
Shaolin is my home
How can I leave?
No, I can't
You little monk
You grumbled so much, and...
you've ruined all that I've done in all these years
And to think you sought my advice!
Master, I still have an unfulfilled wish
I am not listening
This is the marriage token I was talking about
How can a monk get married?
This is an unnatural affair
An unnatural affair?
Indeed
Don't ruin yourself and others
Master, what am I going to do?
Alright... I'm willing to break the rule again
...to help you out of Shaolin
Out of Shaolin?
Settle all your affairs and come back immediately
Thank you, Master
Up there
Can I go out from there?
Sure. You think I could face the wall for 9 years?
Thank you, Master
Get lost
How come the General is not yet back?
Lord He Suo is tired of waiting
If he doesn't come, we'll all be executed
Yes...
Let's go in
Come on
Hang on
There're a lot of kungfu experts in Southern Shaolin
Even if we can get in, we'll get ourselves in trouble
What are we going to do?
Let's first go report to Lord He Suo
The General is back
What happened?
We've located them
Report to His Lordship
We've found them...
Sir, we found them
They're in Putian Shaolin
In Shaolin? You bastard
You found them
Why didn't you capture them back here?
Don't be angry, we didn't want to make any wrong move
Everyone in the Southern Shaolin...
is a good fighter
Who else could be better than me?
He Suo robbed and killed along the Southern road
he'd have tried to uproot everything
I am deeply grateful...
to you for your help...
in protecting the descendants of Sima
You're too kind
It is my duty to do so
Sima Yan is an admirable heroine
Brother Chao, don't say that
Don't praise me
It's true
I'm ashamed
No, you're worthy of praise
You...
Alright, enough said
Go and change your clothes...
to avoid suspicion
Yes
Go on, hurry up
Yes
Yan, Shaolin will be in trouble
He Suo will follow us here?
Right. We'd be putting Shaolin in danger
...if we stay here
We'd better leave
Where are you from?
Sorry, I don't understand you
Oh, so he speaks the native tongue
I'm asking where you are from?
Sungshan Shaolin
Sungko Shaolin
Inform the abbot quickly
Quickly...
Take a bath
Chao Wei
Chao Wei
Chao Wei
Chao Wei
Where's Sima Yan?
Who are you?
Zhi Ming, you've come dressed up like this
You want us to thank you for your assistance
...or you nurture evil thoughts about Sima Yan?
Sima Yan's foot bangle?
This is mine
You still want to argue?
Hold it, brothers
With this friend from North Shaolin, I have got...
something to settle
Zhi Ming, if you don't surrender the foot bangle
...you'll not leave here alive
Take it!
Please tell her that...
this forms a pair with hers
It's a pity...
Is it really yours?
So you're the one she's been waiting for!
Brother...
Zhi Ming, I'll take you to her
All the same you ought to give it to her
No. C'mon hurry
Sima Yan...
Oh no!
What's the matter?
- They've gone - They?
She and her uncle must have left
Left?
Here... quick, after them
Damn, they are really fast
Zhi Ming again!
Shi Ren
Master Wu Lou
Fang Tak
Here
It's all your fault, you are too careless
Sorry...
How did he get in
What have you done?
You're really so stupid!
It's all your fault
Don't blame him, it's your fault
Let's hurry up and find Zhi Ming
Yes
Follow me
Yes...
What now?
Come on
Zhi Ming
Come down
Master
Come with me
Don't run
Shi Ren
How come Chao Wei and Zhi Ming are together?
You should know, speak
Master Wu Lou
Something must have gone wrong, let's go find them
Master Fa Ren
Master Fa Ren
Master
Master Fa Ren
Master
Sima Yan...
Master
Master Fa Ren
Where's Sima Yan?
Master
Hurry up, go rescue her at the waterfront
Master...
Let's hurry to the riverside
What boat is this?
It's like the government officials' boat
Kill me if you want to
Damn, Sima Yan has been caught!
Hey, what are you doing?
Going to save her
The boat has gone so far away
Can you still catch up?
Sima Yan is in the boat
Relax... He Suo won't kill her for the time being
What do you suggest then?
Let's think about it
Follow me
Sima Yan, I can kill you easily
Rascal, what do you want?
What? Just watch
Wait until I've caught those two bastards
...and I'll kill you all
Then I won't have to bother with you any more
You want to kill those two martial experts
You must be dreaming! They're coming for you
Look
We've passed the boat
I've got an idea
What idea?
See, the river becomes narrow there
We can block its exit. Come on
There're so many bamboo logs here
Stop the boat...
Tell them to stop it
Bastard, move them away immediately
...and I'll spare your life
Move...
Government officials' boat is here
Stop the boat, stop it
What happened to the boat?
Lord, it's blocked and cannot move
Can't move, huh!
These two bastards sure are sly
Move the bamboo logs away
Take her in and keep a close watch
Yes
One is here
Catch him
Attack
Quite typical southern style!
Let me
Be careful
Zhi Ming
Sima Yan
Give it to me
Lord, that damned monk is down there
Have the entire boat surrounded
I must kill them personally
Yes
It's risky, get away
I'll fight with them
Chao Wei
If you want revenge, come on up here
Your northern kung fu isn't bad
Take her away...
You can't run
Move
Nobody has ever escaped from
...my sword alive
Master
Let's fight
Fight
Kill them, kill all of them
Lord, we are not able to keep them off
Call for help
Let me send you to hell
Lord, we can't get any help
Master Wu Lou
Shaolin's principle is to fight forjustice
Right
Fight
Fight them, fight as your will
Guards?
Lord, let's run for life...
He has run away!
You'll pay for your misdeeds. There's no escape
Alright, come
Good swordsmanship; but you're not concentrating
Proper execution of swordplay & how to go about it?
Nirvana of a phoenix is acceptable from birth
Give up your sword
Don't even think about it
Amitabha
Zhi Ming, Chao Wei, wait for me
Take care
Always wear this, and take good care of her
Zhi Ming
He has left!
Yes, he's gone
The foot-bangle?
So this matching bracelet has been with you!
I...
Yes...
Take care, both of you
Shaolin, teaches me to be strong
Teaches me to do the right things;
To be responsible, and be brave
Shaolin, I'll be a Shaolinist all my life
...to uphold peace and to rid the evil
Abstain from weapon, thus sustaining Shaolin's spirit
Shaolin, search for the destiny
with my soul and my body
To create miracles
Shaolin, let us all be Shaolinists
with a pure heart
Never to retreat
Never be afraid of evil
Never be afraid of evil & mighty!
