Once Upon a Time in China V (Wong Fei-hung zhi wu: Long cheng jian ba)

A TSUI HARK FILM

Heaven's blessed me. The boat is still here.

Everything will be fine after I cross the harbor.

I really am playing with fire here.

Oh, God, I'm gonna be so rich!

Who...

There are so many of you.

My boss is Sam from the charcoal factory. You'd better show him some respect.

We're pirates. We don't care about matters on land.

Oh, you guys are my heroes! I can't believe I've finally met you.

From now on, I won't follow Sam. I'll join you and be a pirate too.

You can take this treasure.

I don't care for men from the mainland.

I'm not interested in this stuff. You keep it.

It's not worth bothering about.

I just want your fingers.

Don't move! I have a gun!

- A gun? - Stay back!

Give me your hand!

A gun you say? I have a gun too.

SOUTH CHINA STOREHOUSE

Eat, or you won't have energy.

Mr. Chui is back.

SOUTH CHINA STOREHOUSE

How are you, madam?

Chui, you stiII out and about during this storm?

Stop messing about and feed the IittIe master.

If you don't get fat, I'II Iet you be the cooIie.

Boss.

If we can't ship this rice to Hong Kong and store it, it'II get eaten by rats.

But what can we do? The seas are fuII of pirates.

The foreigners empIoy troops to protect their goods. It's Iike a war.

Can't I afford to empIoy guards?

I'II do whatever it takes to ship this rice.

- What's in that box? - I don't know.

LittIe master.

What's happening?

I toId you to feed the IittIe master. How dare you Iet him open that box?

What's going on?

- The pirates again. - Save your breath.

Stop squabbIing. Go and take the chiIdren to bed!

Get out of here!

You jinx!

"One finger for 100 catties of rice.

Send out to sea on time, or your fingers wiII be chopped off!

Signed, Cheung."

That pirate Cheung is an oId man. He must be a hundred years oId.

How can he threaten me?

It doesn't matter if he's Cheung or not. AII the pirates are dangerous.

I'm going to sit right here.

If they want the rice, they can come and ask me.

- The box is fiIIed with fingers. - So?

Somebody's here.

Don't just sit there. Take the kids upstairs!

Grab our weapons. Put the bowIs down. There's going to be a fight.

Wait. Don't open the door yet. Right. Open it now.

We're armed. Who are you Iooking for?

I'm not Iooking for anybody. I was just passing by.

It's an armed troop.

Sorry, I've made a mistake.

He mumbIed and had big eyes Iike an owI.

A guy Iike that must be an informer.

FoIIow that guy to see where his base is.

We have to infiItrate their group.

100 catties of rice for whoever gets information.

- Why are you standing there? - Let's go!

Hey, Iet's hide our weapons first!

They're aII scoundreIs. AII they care about is getting my rice.

This isn't the time to break down. It doesn't work when it rains hard.

- Leung Foon, found someone to heIp us? - I've got more than enough heIpers.

- I can't beIieve they're so eager to heIp. - 100 catties of rice!

I'm not "100 catties of rice."

They're not here to fix the carriage. I asked for heIp, but you brought troubIe.

- You need the exercise. You missed two. - I see them!

Master! They... They've come for "100 catties of rice."

- I'II get you. - Go to heII!

18 ToppIe Kicks!

Too many faIse attacks. Not suitabIe for a gang fight.

I'm afraid I'II kick you.

You've made a mistake.

Nobody here is caIIed "100 catties of rice."

100 catties of rice is just that, not somebody's name.

So many of you got hurt for 100 catties of rice.

Not enough to pay for your medicine.

14th Aunt, your shoe is wet.

But I stiII have to wear it. It's my onIy pair.

- It was aII a mistake? - It's time to get out the first aid.

Ask Master to come out!

- You fight and heaI weII. - CaIm down.

I do apoIogize. It's aII been a misunderstanding.

- You aren't pirates after aII. - You thought we were pirates?

I, Leung Foon, am smart and handsome. Do I Iook Iike a pirate?

If you thought CIubfoot was a pirate, it wouIdn't be unreasonabIe.

I get seasick when I go saiIing. How couId I be a pirate?

Ever seen a pirate as handsome as me?

Sir, I'm sorry. We just wanted to find an inn.

But our carriage broke down, so...

Since they're strangers, ask them to Ieave at once.

PIease, sir.

CIubfoot, Foon, put down the piIIs and medicine. Let's go to the inn.

Take these piIIs. This medicine is for externaI treatment.

Po Chi Lam ointment is very famous. Did you know that?

Po Chi Lam?

- The business of Master Wong Fei-hung? - I think so.

- Do you peopIe know Master Wong Fei-hung? - I am Wong Fei-hung.

We fought with Wong Fei-hung just now. It's our honor.

Your fist is fast as Iightning. Sorry for offending you.

I am Wong Kei-ying.

You have sparkIing eyes.

PIease forgive me.

Leung Foon!

The owI.

- He uses many fake stances. - I am CIubfoot.

- Your kick is reaIIy powerfuI! - Thank you.

How dare he dismiss my kung fu! Fake stances? OwI?

I'm 14th Aunt.

So pretty. You must be Master Wong's wife.

- PIeased to meet you. - Attention, pIease!

I am Leung Foon.

You cIap for 14th Aunt.

So you shouId have cIapped for me. I'm not an owI.

Sorry, I have a date with my famiIy at the inn.

Why not eat here this evening?

See you Iater.

Come on. Why not? You're invited. Let me find you a seat.

The dogs are reaIIy barking. Go and take a Iook.

Master Wong?

I admire you so much. You're a reaI hero.

I want to taIk to you. Don't go just yet.

Let us show you the inn.

There's no need. Do I pay you to show peopIe around?

Pirate!

Master Wong, Iet us handIe this.

We've caught him! A guy dressed in bIack trying to steaI the rice!

They were afraid of pirates a moment ago.

But not now. They're brave now. Master is here.

You aren't going anywhere!

Get down! How dare you fight back! Pirate dog!

He can't breathe. He's convuIsing.

- Let go of me! I'm not a pirate. I'm not... - Lend me your beIt.

- You brought this on yourseIf. - Be carefuI. His ribs are broken.

He's severeIy injured. Carry him to the court.

- To the court? - Don't you have a court?

The court is too corrupt.

ReaIIy?

WeII, we can't deaI with this thief ourseIves.

But we can't reIease him.

I'd Iike to check your court out for myseIf.

CIubfoot, stay here in case his gang strikes again.

Let's drop off our bags at the inn, then take him to the court.

Do you reaIIy mean to take him to the court?

ReIax. If the court can't deaI with it, we'II try something eIse.

Master, we've arrived at Mu Min Lane.

The pIace is totaIIy deserted. What shouId we do?

AIIied forces have occupied the capitaI, but the south is unaffected.

The newspaper says the south is stiII safe and prosperous.

ShouIdn't that be "prosperous and safe"? Where did you get the paper?

It's what our food was wrapped in.

Porky Wing, I'm asking you what time it is.

- Uh, uh... - What time is it?

- Two hoIes. - Two hoIes?

HoIy shit!

Why are you so uptight?

Master, we're Iooking for somebody.

I don't open the door at night. Come back in the morning.

What? So what do we do tiII then? We're not pirates. We're good peopIe.

WeII, we don't open the door at night. Come back tomorrow.

Sister May?

- Sister Yee? - Fei-hung is here.

Not two hoIes!

Wing, So, come and heIp me with the Iuggage.

We're Iooking for a fat guy and a guy with buckteeth.

- Sister. - May.

Master!

Damn!

Fei-hung!

Siu-kwan.

- You've Iost your shoe. - You're aII I need.

- What happened? - 13th Aunt is overwheImed.

- She... What happened? - She's Iost controI.

I don't care about my shoes, so you shouIdn't care about your Iuggage.

- My God. Father, are you okay? - It's nothing.

- Why didn't you shout out? - I didn't want to disturb you.

I dropped the Iuggage on the fIoor as soon as we arrived.

No need to expIain. I did the same when I was young.

Daughter-in-Iaw, you Iost your shoe then.

You say you did something Iike this, Dad? Who did you hurt?
