Ip Man (葉問)

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

Mr Cheung, are you kidding me?

Baldy Lo, Mr Cheung is a learned man

Mind your words

Well, when all southern troops are under my command

Who will you give the money to? Me or someone else?

Marshal Lo, you are not the winner yet

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

Kill him, beat him hard until he can't get back on his feet

How shameless

Get down... you can't beat me

I can still fight

I'm fighting for the south for revolution

I may get killed but I won't go down or be like you

Bravo...

Why don't you kill him off?

It's about the state

Are you northerners sincere in the cooperation?

Now just kill him off

Tseung Sing, do it

lp Man...

Ip Man

Come on...

Ip Man...

Ip Man...

Time's up... 10, 9,

Time's up!

Yes

Yes! Time's up!

Yes

I have not lost

The south has not lost

lp Man...

The south has not lost

The south has not lost...

The south has not lost

The south has not lost...

The south has not lost...

The south has not lost...

Run...

Don't shoot...

You alright?

Don't shoot

Don't shoot

Shoot

Do them in...

Ip Man...

Wing-shing

Wing-shing...

Cashier Wah?

Your parents read in the newspaper

That Master Yu has been crippled

I am sent here to keep an eye on you

I am fine, you can go back

lp Man, judging from your performance today

I should prepare you a coffin

It's not your business

Hey... Ip Man...

You are a grownup now

But your temper has not changed a bit

What you did in the ring today

Was no different from your fight with Yim Chun-loi

I don't call this pride

I'd say you're sick

You are sick

You were beaten up like a punching bag today

What good did it do?

If you go back in the ring tomorrow

At least put on a better show

You are such a nag

lp Man, even a punching bag can use some strategy

You know kung fu?

I've been treated like a punching bag all my life

Like ten years ago you kids were running after me with a pair of scissors

wanting to cut my queue

No one knows more about being a punching bag than I do

Hey... I was there at the ringside today

Let me tell you

How can you duck this move?

Am I right?

I don't know kung fu

But I know how to dodge

You have a point

Even the blind can tell, but you can't

Use your head

I really don't want to take you home in a coffin

Tell me more, what other weaknesses have you seen?

You are making it difficult for me

I don't know martial arts

But I have a strategy

Catch me and I'll buy you a char siu bau

That's not the right way

Get up... catch me

Come on...

No, it's not right... get up

Dodge...

Come on... again

Come on... again

Get up

Young man, catch me... come on

If you are the underdog

The worst you can do is to plant your foot on the ground

Back then I kept running until you kids were tired out

Come catch me...

If Marshal Lo wins out in the contest

Do we have to give him our money?

Of course

I'd say Marshal Chu and Marshal Lo are two of a kind

It makes no difference

So long as they will do what we say and join the revolution

You're still dreaming of playing kingmaker?

Will men like Marshal Lo do others' bidding?

Then what should we do?

Come on, let's not fight

Brother Yam-tong, what do you think?

Gentlemen, the situation is volatile

It changes from day to day

But I think we should be firm in our stance

Now why are we here?

If you see it as business

Then Marshal Lo is the better bet

We should give him the money

But let's give it further thoughts

You came back to China

because you are Chinese

You want to save the country

Be it donations or doing your part

We are not after the greatest return

But the right path

If you ask me which is the right path

I can't give you a concrete answer

But I do know

Marshal Lo will only take us backward

We can't throw ourselves behind him

You tell us what to do We'll go your way

I have been following the combat and I am deeply moved

Not by the martial artistry of the Five Northern Tigers

But by the spirit exhibited by Master Yu and lp Man

This is the spirit our country needs

They were the underdogs

But they still went for it and wouldn't give up

Others may not agree with me or criticise me for it

I still insist on betting it on Marshal Chu

Alright, we got it

Please bear what I said in mind

Forgive me for not seeing you out

We bid you goodbye

Take care

Uncle

You overheard it

I agree with you on not siding with Marshal Lo

But I don't agree with you on betting on Marshal Chu

We have argued about this many times

Have you thought about it?

We have no others to bet on except Marshal Chu

There's no northern expedition without troops

Mr Sun Yat-sen failed because he had no troops

We are helping the KMT to set up a military academy

Really?

Marshal

Marshal, I've got news

Cheung Yam-tong means to bet on Marshal Chu

What nerve! That old fool

He wouldn't be treated kindly

Once I have conquered the country

He'll be the first to be shot! Old fool

Now I am hopping mad

You tell me, in what way am I inferior to that Chu guy?

Why does everyone keep saying I won't be true to the revolution?

So that Chu guy is?

He's such a hypocrite

He can't compare to me in anyway

They are all blind

Think up a way for me...

Marshal, I... I am a military man

I don't have tricks up my sleeves

What? You fool, get lost...

Just get lost

Get me another tea set

Come catch me, come on

Wing Chun footwork?

Gotcha!

Lp Man, what are you doing here?

Nothing

I thought you were gravely injured

So I am here to pay you a visit

But you are alive and well, you...

Zi, let's go

Hey, Wing-shing...
