Go! Go away
Commander Fu
Mr Fu
Master Yu
Please sit After you
Master Yu, it has been ten years
Looking back, it was just like yesterday
Yes, everything is different
Only lp Man that boy thinks things will remain the same
I don't know why you are here in Canton
I don't mean to ask
But I have a request
No one can harm lp Man
Master Yu, I am here because of him
Though we had met but once
But I like him a lot
The boy won't give up until his question is answered
He came to me
But I refused to see him
Because I couldn't give him the answer
In tomorrow's combat
He will try to get into the ring
You have to stop him
Alright
Thank you, Master Yu
Wait
You used to be Marshal Chu's man
Now you are working for the north
It's quite a drastic change
Life is fickle
I am committed to the welfare of the Foshan people
That will never change
Hence I sometimes envy you
Maybe you are after too many things
Proceed
Please excuse me
Martial Arts Convention
Look this way... One more, another pose...
Thank you
Master Tseung, it's said there's a political agenda for your southbound trip
I am not educated I don't know what you mean
I just know I will defeat all challengers with my martial artistry
The chief coach position is in my pocket
How audacious
Who's that bastard blathering here?
Halt
You troublemaker
Let me see if your fist is faster than my bullet
You can't fight me and are now resorting to guns?
I don't care what you do in the ring
If you stir up trouble outside of it
I will kill you anytime
Alright, shoot, I won't duck
Come on, shoot
Tseung Sing, stop it
I'll let you go for Mr Fu's sake
Let me reiterate
Take lives in the ring and none will be after you
Outside of it, make any trouble and you'll pay with your life
Fu Jing-wan, now you know who I am
What? A day has gone but still no challengers?
Well, if you admit defeat We'll go back north
You can carry on with your house-playing
Yes!
There are only losers in the south
Well, excuse me
Wait...
Ip Man...
I am not fighting you
But I want to fight you
It's not for myself, or for the south
It's for the northern expedition
For the revolution
For the advancement of the Chinese people
lp Man, get down
You are in collusion!
Hear me out
They have pulled wool over our eyes
Yu Fung-kau is now on the northerners' payroll
Master Yu...
Ip Man, Yu Fung-kau, spare us your acting
Yu Fung-kau, let me ask you
I was in the ring Brother Lo was in the ring
We both had our limbs broken
Why did this mere boy suffer no injuries?
I don't understand either
Come on... you do
I saw you going over to their place
Was it true? Yes
What a coincidence
I saw you having morning tea with the Fu guy
You were in an animated talk
Was it true? Yes
What? Master Yu...
Yu Fung-kau, you traitor of the southern martial arts world
Mentor and I do know them
But that doesn't mean we are in collusion with them
Spare us your acting
Since you two came to Canton
The southern martial arts world has had internal disagreements
Guys, you agree?
Yes, that's true...
How can you say so?
Miss Cheung, it doesn't concern you
You...
Wing-shing...
Leave me alone
Alright, let me prove we are not moles
We'll fight
Bravo...
Ip Man...
Mentor, Tseung Sing's martial artistry has vastly improved
I know
Come on
I am Yu Fung-kau, born and bred in Foshan
I am accused of being in collusion with the northerners
I practise martial arts, not rhetoric
Let my martial artistry speak for myself
Yu Fung-kau, most honoured
Bravo... go!
Go! Go!
Mentor
Mentor won...
How wonderful
Good!
Master Yu, a very good Crane and Centipede Kick
Come on
Mentor
Master Yu
lp Man Let go of me
Master Yu fights like a man
What are you doing?
You let him
Mentor...
Master Yu, sorry
Mentor
Let him finish
Master Yu
Master Yu...
Master Yu
Mentor
Master Yu, sorry
Go
Mentor...
Give way...
Doctor, save him...
Mentor...
Operation Theatre
Zi, thank you for your help, you can go
I respect Master Yu
Doctor... how's my mentor?
Don't worry, he suffers no internal injuries
But his limbs...
What about his limbs?
He's suffered serious bone fractures and blood vessel raptures
He may not regain normal mobility
You mean Mentor is crippled?
You can say so
I heard it
You can come in
Mentor, let us try Chinese medicine
I consider myself lucky
I can speak, I can think
Though I cannot go back to martial arts cultivation
I can still coach it
I may be crippled
But I've shown there are still men in the south
Maybe my years of martial arts cultivation was a preparation for this day
I prefer this ending to dying of senility in bed
Mentor, it's a spectacular fight
You have shamed those who disparaged you
They can never raise their heads in your presence
Now in the southern martial arts circle
You've earned the address Master Yu
At least this fight has unified the southern martial arts circle
in defeating the northerners
We don't know you, go away
Master Yu, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life
I still have an arm and a leg
I don't need your care
I lost to Tseung Sing today
One, because of my age
If I were ten years younger and much stronger
I could have turned the table on him
This is life
Old age, illness and death No one can break the circle of life
And the other...
I still can't figure out how I can break that move
That's how
Wonderful
Master Yu, despite your plight
You care not about your pain or harbour resentment
But you can discuss your defeat with such ease
Your broadmindedness and bearing have my total admiration
Who am I to talk about taking care of you?
I am so narrow-minded
Please excuse me
Halt
Why? Why?
Lp Man, nothing is worse than taking a path you believe to be the right one
and yet many a time you have to do things against your will
And there's no way you can change it
That means you think what you are doing is right
That your path may be torturous But it's the right one
You were a revolutionary hero ten years ago
But now you...
You, come on
You... you mean to hit me?
Good, it's fun, how wonderful
You, come on Go...
You mean to hit me?
Marshal Lo, what an adept
Get lost
What are you doing here?
There's something I need to talk with you about
There are two kinds of people I can't stand
One, hypocrites like Old Chu
Two, intellectuals
You are the embodiment of both
Marshal, you see so highly of me I am most honoured...
And shameless
Get lost or I'll throw you out
Alright, so you don't care to become president
Excuse me
Mr Lam, please wait
Marshal, why not hear him out? It does us no harm
Alright, go ahead
You all get out
Don't play coy, just spell it out
Alright
Marshal, glory is within your reach
Why aren't you doing anything at all?
Stop beating around the bush
Or I'll have you shot
Brother Lo is still in hospital
It seems the martial arts convention is no longer your business
Isn't your boss more formidable than I am
But he's in the same situation with me
But Mok Yan-chiu did beat Brother Lo
Moreover, Marshal Chu has the backing of Cheung Yam-tong
You are not in his league
Marshal Chu has the clout he can afford the defeat
But you can't
To be frank
I am here to offer you your only chance of going back from the brink
What do you think?
How can we do it?
If the Five Northern Tigers all work for you
The situation will be very different
You marshals have an agreement
Whoever wins the convention Will lead the northern expedition
If the Five Northern Tigers win
It means the north wins
What has it got to do with me?
What if the Five Northern Tigers said they're your coaches
and that they represented you?
Mr Lam, tell us more
How can we make them work for Marshal Lo?
That's quite easy
If you declare your support for the north
They will work for you
He has learned of my agreement with the north?
Why didn't the Five Northern Tigers first come to me?
If you will take them
the Five Northern Tigers will work for you
Then victory will be yours
But why should you help me?
It's too good to be true
Marshal, we all seek pasture greener
What are your grievances against Old Chu?
You should know
I'll never get my break working for Marshal Chu
He has three sons
What's a son-in-law to him?
I got it now
Marshal Yes?
I am sincere in offering you my service
I ask for nothing but to be out of Marshal Chu's grip
Then I at least can dump his daughter and leave her
She's a pretty lady Why can't you stand her?
That's how it seems
Marshal, you are not in my shoes
To be honest, she is spoiled
She throws her dad at me and orders me around
I got it...
Ching-shan
I've spent my life in the battlefield
I need a wise counsel
You are the man
The country belongs to you and me
Marshal, now that I have your word
Please excuse me
Goodbye
Marshal, is he trustworthy?
He's sent by Old Chu to try me out
They have the nerve to set me up
Once I have the south under my command...
Come on, cheers
Dig in
Come on, dig in
Answer the door Let me
Telegram
Good...
The Five Tigers are actually Lo Cheung-yee's men
Find out the mole
Something happened?
Nothing
Come on, cheers... Cheers
Cheers...
Mentor
I can't even walk properly
Mentor, you have me
I'll be your legs, your arms
But the doctor said you should have more rest
Now go back to bed
There are combats today I have to go
They have already started
What time is it?
Almost 3 pm
Let's go
Mentor
Mentor, come on
Come on
Mentor has been gravely injured He's crippled
He can't be a martial arts practitioner anymore
But he still insists on going to the arena
He means to study the martial artistry of different schools
Is this what Brother Fu was referring to when he said "Ask, ask and ask?"
I walk with my legs, one step at a time But where to?
Mr Cheung
Marshal Chu
Don't stand on ceremony
I am sorry
Mr Cheung, you're not feeling well
Yet you're here to show your support
I really am grateful
Once I have unified the country
I'll return the rule to the people
To Mr Sun Yat-sen
Let him be president
Master Yu here...
Master Yu, you've been injured Why come here?
Masters, my limbs may have been broken
I can't go into the ring
But I'll root for you here
Go for it for the southern revolutionaries
Well said...
You hear that? Yes...
Master Yu, don't worry
We'll pull all the stops
Master Yu, please Please
Mentor
If every citizen has Master Yu's determination, our country will be strong
Right...
Excuse me...
Come on, sit down...
Where's Baldy Lo?
Marshal, his heart is no longer here
He's thinking about his throne
That rascal has no shame
How come Marshal Lo is in the ring?
Fu Jing-wan
Should we go up? Should we?
What does this mean?
Marshal Lo, at your service
The Five Tigers are my representatives
Anyone wants to try them?
His representatives?
Look
Old Lo, he really...
Marshal Lo, no one can beat you
You sure will be commander of the northern expedition
Of course
How can such a man be true to the northern expedition?
Marshal Lo, you are part of the southern revolutionary force
How can you be represented by the northerners?
What nonsense!
Why should the revolution be divided into its south and north?
We Chinese are keen on fighting one another
What for?
It's for money, for women, for territory
Let me tell you
My Five Tigers are here in the ring
Who will challenge them?
Anyone?
Come on, try them
No one has the guts?
Baldy Lo has turned himself in to the north
It's Marshal Chu's decision
That the winning side calls the shot
Now what to do?
Cut it out
We don't know who'll be the last one standing yet
It's 4 pm, half an hour to go
Then it's the end of this contest
Well? No one will come up?
Be quick, don't waste our time
Don't mess up my dinner time table
No
Half an hour and I'll treat you to abalone
Look... Look...
Don't you take everything upon yourself
This isn't a matter between southerners and northerners
I can tell, this Marshal Lo won't be true to the northern expedition
Will you yourself allow his wicked plot to pull through?
I can't let him have his way
lp Man... Bravo
Go back... I won't fight you
Come on
It's not a game... go back
Stop it... go back
You don't have to cut me any slack
When you kneeled to Marshal Lo
You are no longer my acquaintance
I'll pull no punches
Bravo
Go for it
Bravo
Guys, what do you think?
Look at that young man
He doesn't know what's in store
I do appreciate such spirits
Old Chu, you are a man of your word
Once I become president
I'll make you a provincial governor
Bravo! Cripple him
Marshal Lo
Mr Cheung, ask the capitalists to get the money ready
The sooner I have it
The earlier I can buy cannons
The earlier we can march across Chang Jiang
Marshal Lo, I never said you'd have my support
Mr Cheung, but I am going to lead the northern expedition
You have to give me your support
Marshal Lo, take it easy
The money is for the man with popular support
That's me
Popularity is not decided in the ring
What? Take a good look
You think that boy can win?
Ng Pak-lam Yes
Go down and tell Fu Jing-wan
I want that fool dead
If he won't do it
I'll go down myself to finish him off
