Gallants (打擂台 / Da lui toi ) (打擂台)

During the 60's and the 70's

The boxing-ring was an arena filled with blood, desires and heroes

In the ring, there were only two outcomes

Winners and Losers

Winners possess glory and applause

Losers have nothing but their tails between their legs

Though this isn't the time about heroes and their fists anymore

But the consequences of winners and losers

also exist far beyond the ring

Take a look at this young fellow

fragile and pathetic

but back in the day,

he was known as the "Winning Superman"

And this is his opponent,

his ONLY opponent

MANG

Winning Superman had a record of 147 winning streaks

MANG could never escape from his "Justice"

However, that was all in the past

Let's talk about the present

He is really pathetic right now

As we all know, work place is a battlefield

He fails at everything,

has asthma

and despised by everyone around him...

surviving at the bottom of the food chain in a real estate company

He is the face you find when you look up "LOSER" in the dictionary

Pick it up!

You loser!

Are you stupid?

Coward!

Rubbish!

Day after day,

he's being yelled at,

The more he's being yelled at, the less he performs

But the less he performs, the more he's being yelled at

Look, he's being yelled at again

Sorry...

I'm the one who's sorry!

What had you contributed for the last 5 years you were here?!

What do you want me to do with you?!

...demote me?

No doubt the boss is pissed

So, he is assigned to a "big" project

The boss grants him a 7 weeks no pay leave

to settle a property development dispute in a village

Even if he's unwilling

he's incapable to revolt

But at this very moment

He sees...

a TV commercial that will change his entire life

Coke, please

In the fridge, get it yourself

Bottle opener?

Do it yourself, $5

Ladies and Gentlemen, martial arts is the trend

The ring, is a symbol of dignity and fame

I am not encouraging violence

I just want to promote the spirit of martial arts...

to facilitate our daily life

As you can see...

The journalist failed to aim at the target by throwing his shoes

I don't mean to encourage throwing shoes

But I encourage hitting target

Here comes the chance

There's no restriction of age or sex

Everyone is welcome to participate in our tournament

As long as you are healthy and physically fit

We challenge you to sign up!

(The Hong Kong Martial Arts Open wants you!)

Where there's light, there's also darkness

When CHEUNG has just recovered his morale

Misfortune is once again casted upon him

Hey kid!

Hey kid, stay where you are!

Hey, stop running, kid...

I'm talking to you

What?!

Why did you shoot me?

I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have a gun!

No gun? What is this?

Oh, you're dead meat!

You broke my phone, you have to pay for it now!

What the...I'm not arguing with you, stupid kid

Hold it right there, I'm getting people to kick your ass!

Pay up now!

Kick my ass, huh?

Yes, you loser!

Kick my ass, huh, you little crappy kid!

Come on, kick my ass!

Idiot! kick my ass!

Your parents never taught you anything, huh?

Kid!

You loser!

You enjoy bullying little kids?!

- Your parents never taught you anything, huh? - Sorry

He just bullied me

Good boy, my little brother

He broke my phone too

No problem, I'll get you a new one

You enjoy bullying kids, huh!

No, no...

- Run now, you loser! - No...

You messed with my baby brother, you're asking for it

Go to hell!

You punched my baby little brother

Go to hell!

Old fool, am I in your way?!

Get outta here!

Excuse me, pardon me...

Who asks you to stand?

Saggy Ass, it looks like I'm really in your way!

You guys seem to know Kung-fu

Why don't you give me some face and let him go, please

Okay, we let him go, and jump you instead

I know some Kung-fu too myself

What kind? Sweet and Sour Pork style?!

You may insult me

But don't you insult my Master!

So what if I do?

You and your Master can both kiss my ass!

Get the hell outta here!

Are you posting for a picture?

You asked for it!

Kid!

Listen to me carefully...

Chinese never fight with Chinese

Understand?

CHEUNG is now extremely excited

The fire is bursting from his belly up to his throat

Hence, he decides...

to crunch his thirst first...

Can I have an iced-tea please?

I thought he is from the "Tobacco Control Office"!

Forget about him, let's get the story done

We were talking about Master Law's story

but it's just half way through, let's keep going

Let me continue...

Master Law and Master Tang had a secret duel

At the beginning, Law thought that it was just a friendly combat

Nothing lethal

But Tang didn't think the same way

His strikes were going for the kill

It was the "Hexagon stances" and then the "Six Harmonies stances"

Law couldn't stand a chance

Didn't Law practice...

the Stone, Standing and Fascinated Monkey stance?

Of course he did, he mastered it!

If Law was such a master,

he wouldn't be in a coma for all these years

I believe the truth speaks louder than anything

It's now Law who's lying in bed

You can't say about it!

But he's lucky to have two pupils taking care of him for all these years though

I remember when I married to this village years ago

they were already taking care of him

I say those two are just dumb

always waiting for their Master to wake up

they are now well into their 60's already

they don't even know the world out there

I don't know...

if he's doing good or harm to...

shhhh...DRAGON is coming down...

Shut up...shut up...

Hey, DRAGON is here

- Hi, DRAGON - Morning, DRAGON

You left your husband at home again, huh?

Let's play chess again tonight...

Sure, sure

Morning...

You again?

You look great after being beaten up

Not exactly...

Master, can you teach me Kung-fu?

This is good for you, try it

It's not for internal but external use

No, but Master...

I really want to learn Kung-fu

I don't want to be a loser and be bullied around anymore

Stop bugging me, just go

- Go! - No...

Leave me alone and go!

Hey boy, what are you doing in here?

The kitchen is for employees only, get out

I'm here to learn Kung-fu!

Kung-fu? We just have tofu here!

And here is a fool too

Go, go, go, go...

Here it is

My dearest brother...

Who dared to hurt my beloved brother?

- It's you again! - Come out right now!

KWAl, call FEl YEUNG immediately

Stand out!

Welcome, Sirs...

Sir, you don't look familiar to me

Is this your first time here?

Stop pretending,

someone saw the cripple with glasses came in here!

Or did you say I am wrong?!
