Stuntman (武替道)

Up there.

Don't let him get away!

I'll pay top dollar to whoever takes him out.

Yes Boss!

Go to hell!

There are a few more of them upstairs.

Cut!

Tail sticks!

Take 4.

Check the gate!

Is it okay, Sam? Okay.

Okay, huh?

That was great. Please take a break.

On to the next setup!

Got it. Camera on the move!

Guys, give me a hand.

Stunt double, get into position.

Jump!

Wai.

Yeah. That's the way.

Listen up,

jump on my cue and don't hesitate.

If you see the truck,

you've already missed the jump. Got it?

Let's get ready to roll.

Truck ready?

Truck is ready.

Wai ready?

Alright. Roll camera!

Ready...

Drive.

Jump!

Cut!

What the fuck are you doing?

Need me to be your stunt double?

Damn it, Kam, you're up!

You think you can handle this?

If not, I'll step in.

I'm good, Sam.

But I need a rehearsal.

Rehearsal?

You've been watching all night. No more rehearsal, got it?

Go get changed!

Get down!

Sam,

let's split the shots.

This only looks good in a single shot.

That's just the way Sam is...

Take it easy.

You'll get more experience over time.

Hey, you've been

pulling all-nighters lately, be careful.

Punk.

Don't patronize me,

I'm your senior.

Get down there and watch how it's done.

Alright guys, keep everything exactly the way it was.

Sam, are you ready?

We're running out of time.

I'm ready, Cho.

Let's do it!

Drivers, keep the same speed.

Alright, everyone get ready.

Drivers ready?

Kam ready?

Okay. Roll camera!

Action!

Cut...! It's too late.

Don't... jump!

Young people today face

fewer job opportunities than

in the '80s and '90s...

Hey Sam,

sorry to bother you again.

You don't need to come by so often because of the discount.

I can't help it, the lift is out.

I'm patrolling twenty floors using the stairs.

Remember the good old days?

I used to carry two sandbags

up and down seven floors ten times without complaining.

The good old days again?

How bad is it?

Nothing serious.

Don't walk too much... it's going to be tough.

Take a week off, okay?

A week?

They will complain even if I take a day off.

How about this, Sam.

You cover my shifts for a few days,

and I'll pay you.

Cover for you? You're kidding.

No.

It's really tough to make a living.

We are buddies, right? Just cover for me, please.

Come on, Sam.

I haven't covered for anyone in a long time.

Hey Cho, what's up?

Hey, Sam.

It's the 70th anniversary of the martial arts association.

You coming?

I haven't shown up in ages, what's the point of going?

It's a memorial for Ma Yau.

We're all kung-fu brothers, and we stick together.

Alright, see you then.

Hey Sam.

Hey Sam.

Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry.

Do you guys know who he is? Who is he?

That's "Heartless" Sam,

the infamous action choreographer

known for his deadly stunts.

Really?

Back in the day, all stuntmen avoided working for him if they could.

Working on his films always meant trouble.

I'm different, safety comes first.

Remember to call us if you have work.

I'll definitely call you.

Cheers.

Cheers guys. Come on.

Include us in your next movie.

I'll call everyone of you.

Come on.

Cheers man.

Hey,

let's take a group photo.

Photo time. Let's do it.

Come on, let's use my phone.

Can you help us take the photo?

Thanks bro.

Come on.

Sure.

Bros, let's pose.

Alright.

Ready. One, two, three.

Done.

Let's take a look.

Look at Kin. Your Thai boxing pose looks funny.

Thank you for coming to the...

Iron Fist Martial Arts Association's 70th-anniversary gathering.

It's a great chance

for us to reconnect.

One of our kung-fu brothers

Ma Yau,

passed away recently.

Just last week,

we were sitting at that corner

having dim sum together.

We're grateful to our kung-fu brother

who edited a memorial video overnight.

Let's all take a moment

to remember our old friend.

Our respected Ma Yau Chang

Ma Yau.

His full name is Ma Yau Cheung.

Excuse me. Is anyone sitting here?

He started martial arts very young and

joined the Iron Fist Martial Arts Association as a teenager.

Later, he entered the film industry as a stuntman and actor.

Over his 50-year career,

he worked on more than 200 films.

There goes another master.

Hong Kong cinema feels just like him...

rest in peace.

Got any job recently?

There aren't many jobs now.

I have to teach kung-fu to make a living.

I heard Wai has opened a new kung-fu studio.

Does he need coaches?

Let me ask him for you.

Thank you, brother.

Wish we all have more jobs.

Here... Cheers.

Almost everyone showed up tonight.

Why didn't you stay a bit longer?

I'm starting a new film

and I'm getting you on board.

It's been over 20 years since our last film together.

I've secured the budget.

I'll be the director and

you'll be the action choreographer.

Look...

where they've moved the Bruce Lee statue.

The tree will cover it in a few years.

Forget about it.

Hey.

You used to jump off the 8th floor without fear,

and now you chicken out?

No.

It's just that times have changed.

I can't afford to fail again.

It'll be worse than jumping off the 8th floor.

That's how this industry works,

ups and downs.

Right?

Everyone knows...

it wasn't your fault.

I'm casting Wai as the lead actor in this film.

He's an action superstar now, would he even talk to you?

If I hadn't given him a chance back then,

would he have become famous?
