Ip Man (葉問)

Master Yu... I beat Yim Chun-loi

I really did... I am not lying

Take me as your disciple

Get up

I saw it... sit down

lp Man, you are not afraid of hardship

You have the drive, you are smart

I'll be pleased to have you as my disciple

But you still have a test to pass

Master Yu, this is underhanded You are right

What's the test?

I am going to teach you three moves

You have to use them to cut off a queue

A queue?

Watch carefully

That's it? That's it

Oh no

Give way...

Give way...

Brother Ching-shan

You are going to a western country Don't forget to write me

I'll let you know Fu Hung-mo can't be more wrong

lp Man, what Fu Hung-mo told you was not true

Britain has been the most powerful country in the past 200 years

I am going there to find out the meaning of revolution

I'll find out the meaning of queue cutting

Brother Ching-shan

Truth will tell

What Fu Jing-wan said was all nonsense

Brother Ching-shan, don't you forget me Don't you forget Sangyuan

Brother Ching-shan, bon voyage

Don't forget to write me

You have to write me... Brother Ching-shan

Who sent you here?

Why are you trying me out?

Tell me or you are dead!

Master Chan, you picked up Wing Chun from Mr Tsan?

Mentor Yu

The queue, look

Really Cashier Wah's queue?

You cut it?

Yes, I cut it

Or he cut it himself?

You sure are smart, how did you know?

What happened?

I worked hard on the three moves you taught me

I first used this move

Then this

Then this

I was this close to getting his queue, but...

You can't get my queue, just go back

I may not be able to cut it today

But I will if I come every day for a year

Please, what a pest you are

Alright, you win

You satisfied now?

Take it back to Master Yu

Mentor, take me as your disciple

I won't take you as my disciple

But I will teach you martial arts

Get up

No obeisance as a disciple

Mentor, why?

You know what Wing Chun is?

Wing Chun?

Boss Chan

Excuse me

What now?

What are you doing? What's wrong with you?

Young Master...

Thank you, I have to run

Young Master...

Hey... your ticket

Sorry

Halt

Chun-loi, I am going to Canton Don't get in my way

lp Man, don't you give me a hard time again

What are you doing?

I've been given many a slapping and made to kneel because of you

You mean it? We are brother

I am not your brother

Yim Chun-loi, you can't fight me

I've gotta get on board

lp Man... one day, you'll be the one pushed into the water

Mentor, it's the Canton Martial Arts Convention

How can you not take me with you?

How many times have I told you?

I'd teach you martial arts

I have not taken you in as my disciple Don't call me mentor

Old habits die hard

I am sorry

Mentor, it's said martial arts practitioners of the South will all attend the convention

Tip me off

The championship is yours to lose Or is it within your reach?

I'm going there to watch and learn not to fight

Mentor, with your cultivation

If you don't take part in the convention the convention will be but a sham

There's always someone out there who's better

Bear it in mind

A true martial arts adept doesn't make his name in the ring

Then by what?

Generosity of the heart

Halt...

Bravo...

A sound physique, a strong country

Don't run...

Halt...

Here he is...

General Wu, you are going to the frontline What are the prospects ahead?

Usurpers are running amuck

The revolution may end in vain

It really hurts us to see it

I am going to the frontline

There are only two possible outcomes

Flowers for sale... fresh flowers for sale...

Either the revolution prevails in the end

Or I'll die for the revolution

Bravo...

Mentor, Canton really is different

Help...

Who gave you permission to sell here?

Please, don't stamp on my flowers

I need the money for my mom's medication

Please...

Mentor, just a moment

Go back with me and be my concubine

Then you'll have money for medication

Let go of her

What are you doing here?

You have to pay for her flowers

How does that concern you?

Indeed

Beat him up... Bring it on...

All right

What are you doing?

Miss, don't worry

I am standing up for you I'll bear the consequences

Stop it...

Mok's Family School

Hello folks, I am from Foshan...

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you? Get up

Miss, what now?

Chivalry is not welcome here in Canton?

You really can't tell?

We are doing a modern play

What?

You can't tell it's acting?

Modern play? Yes

It's acting, it's not real, it's a play

I really am sorry

It's my first time in Canton

I really am sorry...

Don't be such a fool next time

You guys alright?

This man...

No pictures...

Mentor, let's go

Modern play?

Mentor, could you tell?

Since you couldn't either, how could I?

This is not Foshan

We have to be more careful

Stay out of trouble

Take mine...

He's a cripple, it'll be a bumpy ride for you

What nonsense

I dare you for a challenge

I'll put a bucket of water on my rickshaw

Not a drop of water will be spilled

I don't believe it

Well? Any spillage?

Any?

Not a drop of it!

Boss, take mine

Alright, guys

I'll take yours

Boss, his is all wet

Cripple, you'll see

Go!

Sir, how should I call you?

Zi

Zi, you speak with a Foshan accent

You have lived in Foshan before?

None of your business

Young man, you are competitive

The loser will go hungry

Mentor, you go in first

Let me call on a friend

This is not our hometown. You be careful

I know

Zi, Taojin Street

Go!

Foshan Guild Hall

He's got nothing to do with it Let him go

It's alright, I am an out-of-towner

I'd love some fun

Let me just watch from here

Zi, you know how many rickshaw pullers are there in Canton?

Three thousand
