The Heroes (少林英雄)

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.
