| Raging Dragon 3
– Enter the Demon
With jetlag and all, Fei Long was relieved to be back in the familiar hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. Back in his homeland after making his mark in the recent tournament. What more through the tournament he made more than enough money to expand the dojo. And perhaps there would even be a decent little sum of money left over for him to marry his little Simui. Taking a cab he closed his eyes ignoring the banter of the talkative taxi driver who recognize the national hero returning home. But in his mind Fei Long remembered his last fight. A fight against a demonic warrior who was bent on using the tournament for his evil purposes. An act that Fei Long thwarted by beating the old demon and taking the winner’s scroll. Naturally they were no match for him. What didn’t make sense though was why did the Demon’s eldest disciple betray his own master by helping Fei Long? But it does not matter. He had won, the world is safe. The threats of the old demon’s revenge meant nothing. Banishing those dark thoughts his mind turns instead to that of his little Simui. He had not seen her for over two years. He believes that she must have gotten more beautiful than ever with an even longer line of suitors. But to win her heart is to go through a rather old tradition of fighting against her constant companion. A young woman personally trained by his simui. That brought a sense
of curiosity to Fei Long’s mind as he had never seen his simui fight before.
He knows that his sifu trained her and that she is a good fighter but the
thought of his simui facing off a man bigger and stronger than she is never
occurred to him at all.
Reaching the dojo the first person he saw was his simui’s annoying companion lugging in a bag of grocery. He also noted that her right arm was in a sling. Fei Long smirked at the fact that if she look like that then his simui’s suitor must be lying in hospital in a full body cast. It was strange that he never asked her why she made such a strange pact. He smirked again as he thinks that it would soon be his turn to fight the young woman. The moment he stepped across the threshold Fei Long jolted to a stop. His mind was reeling and screaming away that something is wrong. There is something in the air that felt different but he can’t put his finger on the problem. And where is his simui? She was always the first to greet him but all there is now is this strange slience. A little worried he headed for his sifu’s room. Along the way someone walked pass him and his white attire made Fei Long do a double take. That unmistakable red headband in a weak attempt to tame his wild unkempt hair. That pair of sharp hawkish eyes turning slightly to challenge him. The handiplast upon the bridge of his nose suggest of a recent fight. A smirk in recognition escaped from the mouth of the demon’s eldest disciple. Fei Long just stood
there as the man continued walking towards the direction of his simui’s
room. That Fei Long didn’t notice as all he could think about was what
is the White Demon doing here?! It was one thing for him to betray his
master to Fei Long and another thing altogether to be here in his sanctuary.
What more under the same roof as his simui.
“Sifu!!! What is
he doing here!!??” Fei Long shouted even before Gen could say anything.
“Dai Siheng. My husband is not an evil man.” That familiar voice! The one voice he was hoping to hear. It threw him off a little as he turn to face her. And there she stood with her pathetic little somewhat beat-up companion in tow. Confirming indeed that the young woman was recovering from a recent fight. < Husband?… > the thought came back again and made him really look at his little simui. She is still as beautiful as ever in her lovely blue cheongsam. But something in the way she look was different. Her two braids were no longer swinging freely but wound round the side of her head. The colours she wore is darker. The only reason he knew for her matronly look was that she is married! Once again Fei Long’s mind screaming away at the invisible threat. What was his sub consciousness warning him about he knows not. Fei Long glared at his simui’s companion. Strangely she gave he an awkward little bow and a smile which mirrored that of the White Demon which in itself answered some of Fei Long questions. “He beat you up!?”
“I do. I can. He’s
my sensei.”
“Wait simui! He’s nothing but trouble!! Leave him” Fei Long rushes towards them only to bump into a wall that seem to come out of nowhere. The White Demon stood before him. Fei Long yelled and unleashes a series of punches that the demon seems to fend off rather easily. That frustrated he him even more and gave him a bad feeling that this one could be more powerful than the old demon. But he must rescue his simui. He wished that he had listen to the advice of a certain Fortuner who had warn him against joining the tournament and now his simui pay the price of his arrogance. Using his rage he unleashes his a rising dragon kick burning the demon as he ascends. On landing the demon was gone. A tap on the shoulder made Fei Long turned. A mighty fist smashes into his face causing him to stagger but not fall. Once again he attacks the demon but this time his foe was prepared as he grabbed Fei Long’s fist stopping him and twisting the arm so hard that he could hear his bones snap! The demon laughs
while Fei Long yelled in pain. In pain he gathered his qi and unleashes
in a single punch to the demon’s heart causing an explosion of qi that
sent the demon flying across the yard.
“Husband!!!”
The demon’s laughter broke his train of thoughts. Fei Long felt digusted by the way the demon held her waist. And then the demon pulled his simui close and clamps his mouth upon hers. Fei Long roared in anger, partly because of the White Demon’s audacity to violate his simui in front of him, partly because he saw that the act itself drained his simui’s strong qi. Like a vampire that feeds on blood. “Delicious.” The demon smiled when finally broke off his kiss from his somewhat drained and weaken victim. The demon raise his hand showing his palm to Fei Long. Qi gathers in his palm. His simui’s attention was on the dmeon until his directs her attention to Fei Long In horror Fei Long saw that his simui was watching him with eyes that worships the demon. She broke into a smile as the demon unleashes a powerful ball of qi at him blasting across the yard and through the dojo walls. The demon laughs as he left with his prize, leaving behind a trail of destruction and letter of challenge to Fei Long. Breaking out of the rubble Fei Long saw a hand held out for him. He recognise the Fortuner. Nothing good seem to follow her visits. “Let me help you.” she whispered. Too be contiunued? Cast
Any resemblance to
any situation, person living or dead is entirely intentional.
Coming soon to a
cinema near you
A choice must be made. A possible ally in his quest to save his beloved simui? A fight against the White Demon’s disciple. A fight which Fei Long being through and lost before, will he succeed this time? A fight with his beloved simui one that will force Fei Long to make a difficult choice. And the final showdown with the White Demon himself. --------------- "Hwaaaahhh.....Dad."
Mel yawned at the end of the credits.
Raging Dragon 1 -
Rising Dragon. Ironical name that sounds like the Shoryuken. Story
is about a young warrior making his mark in martial arts world (coincidence
that it seem more like Ryu's story) It was also after this movie
that Fei Long saw the Ryu vs Sagat match in Zero
Raging Dragon 3 - Enter the Demon. You already saw the story in this OS Found out that CL intends to marry Ryu. Coincidence is the inclusion of Simui's disciple (the Iwa character) had being added before he met or knew of Iwa (only found about her after RCL's dojo was set up). The disciple part was actually an attempt to humanise the wolf-dog Batu Raging Dragon 4 - Dojo Raider. Hates Ryu's guts about now. Would actually like to cause trouble at Ryu's dojo but that is also half of CL's dojo. So his wishes were the basis of the story. Naturally by now he found out Ryu and CL had set up a dojo together, hence the title Raging Dragon 5 or
more. Its one of those movies that go on and
on. Kinda like Police Story, Bloodsport and Robocop.
That melodramatic
movie that is OS 1 is one of those movies that not in synch with his Raging
Dragon series, sort of an attempt to do a bit of directing and stray into
romantic drama of sorts
------ This one is rename to One Shot 7 because Millenium Special didn't qualify as a One Shot but was more of a New Year Special This is sort of a
poke at the HK swordfighting movies that I grew up watching. And the wonderful
SF comics I so loved:
Such stories usually
have:
Kinda like the SF comics I read, ain't it |
