"Once Upon a Time in China" Main Theme (instrumental)

[buklao559]

very interesting and cool i feel unlazy with this slap

[Gaskal1365]

All I can think about when I hear this song is martial arts in really, really slow motion

[MrGeneralRelativity]

Kung Fu Panda 3 intro lol

[LordArithon]

The power and strength in this song is amazing. Yet the melody is so beautiful...and the instruments resonate on such powerful frequencies...I love this song and this version of it. It always amazes me.

[jia2001]

This song brought me far in life and I manage to fight when the odds was against me for so many years! I got my courage, pride, respect, honor, Kung Fu training and this song has a strong influence of my life that I will never FORGET!!!!!

This song is going to be played on my funeral!!!!

[sloanienz]

Best gym workout song ever

[lperly24]

What wrong with "flying"and impossibly long kicks? :D It's fun to watch!

[warmaster36]

y do pepole always fight on youtube just cuz they dissagree

[YelloWhiteFlowers]

fcken awesome!

[SILAMBARASANization]

who is the composer?

[gdobox]

Thank... nice theme...

[PimpingRice]

When I die this is gonna my theme song. When I'm the coffin, and they're carrying me into my dug up grave, as everyone remember me in their past life and how much I affected them, and bowing down when the funeral is going to be finished. This song is being played by a Scottish/Irish mini orchestra band at the background..... EPIC!

[wretchedyo]

i was like 8 when i first saw once upon a time in china 2...... this song gives me crazy nostalgia.

[jerumd]

Beast of the East!!!

[gangjuju]

the image of jet Li's wong fei hung will forever own this theme

[youlook678]

This song screams Bruce Lee all over

R.I.P

[Brutaka921]

@youlook678 No, it actually screams Wong Fei Hung and Li Lian Jie, aka Jet li.

[youlook678]

@Brutaka921 yes but imagine this in a Bruce Lee movie

[Brutaka921]

@youlook678 True. This would fit him fine. Imagine the drum beating at the beginnig was him getting ready to kick. Then when the other instruments come in, Bruce Lee kicks.

[youlook678]

@Brutaka921 imagine if it was him in a movie walking into the sunset and the instruments come in...

then BAM! he says..my training has only begun...

[SSF4ArcadeEdition]

@youlook678 thats cheese

[youneveri]

pls tell me some good inspiring music like this one

[livingdeadize]

Whats the name of this theme song i've heard it in about more than a dozen times in kung fu movies such as once upon a time in china abd drunkin master 1

[Alphab3t4]

@livingdeadize You might be looking for "Wong Fei Hung". I'm not sure if that's the correct English name though.

[TheOnedragonlord81]

hahahahahah I love this soundtrack :D:D I've played Bruce Lee Tower of Death (a online game) and I was looking for this soundtrack and then I looked for a Martial Arts Movie and I've found this one :D:D:D:D eargasm :D:D:D

[bboybubbles100]

i love this music

[D3m190d]

We play this often, when we're practicing Kung Fu. It's so awesome. Choy Lee Fat, Huell yaeh! xD

[giep4492]

so sweet.

[88lado88]

nice

[DuxImperator]

Isn't there a faster/sped-up version of this somewhere?

[legendslayer337]

The part thats starts at 1:28 is stuck in my head

[jerumd]

@legendslayer337 XD LOL!! Same here.

[Julienfun]

What instruments are used?

[qq75970138]

@Julienfun Suona

[plandercozeron]

oh my god, how many variations of this theme? =D actually this is awesome. As for me - i like "drunken" master more then other

[BboyWikid]

lol my brother put this song on loud and beat me up xD and then next he was watching tv and then i put on my bath robe and i beat him up xD i flew and jump on him and covered him with the long hanging leftovers of it and beat him up xD

[warmaster36]

love this song it reminds me of the good old kung fu movies with the fight scenes that u will always remember like the ones in the once upon a time a china movies or legend of the druken master

[youneveri]

brings back memories

[koftaboy]

where can i download it please ?

[koftaboy]

very strong and touchy theme wow

[1illini2rockets]

we played this song in orchestra in school it was really cool

[densscessario]

Been looking for this, I'm an Indonesian (only half Chinese and can't speak Chinese at all) but I memorize the Cantonese lyric, LOL

[pearlfan3]

Nostalgic! ^^

[drunkenbeatle]

reminds me of the old drunken master movies... man i wish i could perdorm drunken boxing, just for the sheer pleasure of imitating a drunkard, to music that would require an extremely high level of sobriety.

[monelalloy]

legend

[qiankundanuoyi1]

Wong Fei Hong's father is one of the Ten Tigers of Canton

[skinnygirl991]

i love to dance to this song..

[samuelthorton09]

I love this song!!!!! Jet Li was excellent in this movie!!!!! I first saw this movie when i was 6...and i still love it!!!! it never gets old!!!! Jet Li you rock man!!!!

[thierr10]

does any body do shaolin kungfu?? i do

[Lebnaaan]

aaaahhh...its been ages now and i still love this song.. and all the kung fu training with this song.. oh man what a memories.. i'll never forget wong fei hong..i bow in big respect.. sometimes wish i came from china too.. this song will never die for me and will always be in my heart through the future.. "A Man Of Determination".....

[xDesh]

Song is a beast needs to be made into a dubstep remix!

[TheMrUZB]

One of the BEST sounds EVER!

[FatuusSphere]

I need to include this into a remix for my project! Awesome sounds =]

[ba707diplomat]

anybody know where i can get this cd?

[joey7286]

if any body knows kung fu.... practice with this music on the background

i do it and it gives me confidence

[jerumd]

This song forever haunts me. I've been listening to it for almost my entire lifespan and, still never get tired of listening to it.

[annyonion]

@jerumd yup been listening to this song since I could remember and I still like listening to it! <3

[jerumd]

LOL!! Same here, i don't remember how young was i back then when i first heard this music but, i was hooked to it 4 life. In my own point of view, since am half Chinese/Filipino, it just symbolizes the beauty of the Orient.

[dafuzzylobsterweasel]

where did u get the music?

[Lurker15]

good one

[DJErciyes]

look by my video drunkenmaster theme

[BruceLeeCobain92]

Both Jackie Chan and Jet Li played characters named Wong Fei Hung. Jackie Chan in Drunken Master and Jet Li in Once Upon a Time in China.

[chickenfeet2608]

I swear to God this will make an awesome ringtone!!!!

[fulmetalking]

lmao!! real

[th3warr1or]

@chickenfeet2608

Or Alarm tone.

[zonk09]

hey can i have this song?

"once upon a time in china"

is my favorite movie when i was 9 years old

lol :D

[Kwekwe]

Superb. Can anyone tell me the origin of this tune? I've heard it in many martial arts movies before this one, and in London when it was Chinese New Year I heard some people singing it.

[aznsoulja1995]

by the way im asain homie's

[aznsoulja1995]

jakie chan, is better then jet li

[zieba]

@aznsoulja1995

不是，李连杰不是，更好啊。

[corey26081987]

Yo, WTF, have you seen Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung movies? Jet Li's portrayal of Wong Fei Hung is the coolest and best in history, much better than Jackie Chan!

[ROFLmaoATu]

lol.. jackie chan started out as an actor, he is one of the worlds greatest stunt men. jet li on the other hand mastered every martial arts weapon before the age of 11.. he is a real martial arts expert. i am however a fan of them both.

[jamesking1979]

dont compare those guys. Jacky Chan is Chinese opera/theater/comedy. Jet Li is pure action hero.

[LightDragon74]

@jamesking1979

both are well trained martial artists...don't insult them

[jamesking1979]

@LightDragon74

I don't insult anybody, I just say they can't be compared because they are from very different backgrounds

[clcoc20s]

@jamesking1979 Jackie Chan also has actual Kung Fu training. Jet Li only specializes in theatrical Wushu.

[jamesking1979]

@clcoc20s I know.. but since you mention Jet Li's specialization you agree they have different backgrounds? I'm just saying they can't really be compared since they're so very different in al the things they do.. (hope nobody replies this with: they're both Asian & fight in movies! ;) But for the record, I love 'em both!

[tproudmoore]

@jamesking1979 , truth be told, I have never seen the camera zooming in on Jet Li during the stunt scenes. All I see is him kicking and punching. All the stunts are performed by some one else unlike Jackie. But hey, both are legends in their own sense.

[ellayxoxo]

@tproudmoore you don't say ay? no words can convince you so i guess seeing is believing. youtube "jet li wushu competition 1978" and "jet li sword demonstration". haha kid retired from kungfu at age 17, he's a legit patron of the martial arts. jackie chan... on the other hand, i think he's just for show, his 'stunts' glamorized by the camera lens, but sure, they are both legends in their own righ.

[whitelotus77]

@jamesking1979 Eh. Still Jackie Chan is a great martial artist. Jet Li as well. Chan uses Southern style and Li uses Northern styles I presume.

[KilluaYakuza]

@jamesking1979 Why you gotta talk shit about jackie chan and jet li not simply praised. You is not nothing to talk about the chan he knows a lot more kung fu than you'll ever know.

[jamesking1979]

@KilluaYakuza You are such a moron, I dont even know why I respond to this.. just read correctly & you see I dont talk shit about either & respect them both.

[KilluaYakuza]

@jamesking1979 Fuck you man!!!Você quis dizer:

You said you can not compare jackie chan and jet li, because jet li is one action hero and Jackie Chan is a opera theater comedy and a saying that you're disrespecting jackie chan as a martial artist! If thats isnt your intention IS YOU WHO HAS TO WRITE CORRECTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY!!!

[jamesking1979]

@KilluaYakuza Different backgrounds, that's all

[jamesking1979]

@KilluaYakuza and if you think that Jackie Chan is less then Jet Li because of that, then you are the one that is insulting

[MrPigpigbob]

@jamesking1979 i couldn't agree more

[ultimatesol]

@jamesking1979 fucker...

[ultimatesol]

@jamesking1979 you dickhead. you never seen yet "drunken master" or "young master" dont you ? Jackie never used any invisible wires any of his performs.

[jamesking1979]

@ultimatesol haha retard, I love the endless discussions, thanks! :) Yes I did see Drunken Master, Snake in Eagle's Shadow, etc. and no wiring indeed! Wires are for the endless flying through woods & impossible kicks, which I enjoy also though.. but I prefer the real, effective kung fu like they do without the show elements.. but what was your point? PS: maybe your lack of english makes you misunderstand every word I write?

[ultimatesol]

@jamesking1979 believe or not i understand well what you writing right now you maggot. and it seems you understand me well too right? it seems that way due to your reply. after all this is not an college and youre not an teacher fucker.a fuckin american person chlishe when they about to lose a discussion.

"show elements" ? you should consider it "realist" . They fighting in very intelligible techniques. but it seems, yo "11 old years" just love "flying objects" or "overdose movements" heh ?

[jamesking1979]

@ultimatesol I consider this realistic you moron.. proven once more you don't even read.

Calling me American really hurts my feeling though (not in a sarcastic way).. :(

[MrDeathmachin3]

@jamesking1979 Why? Are you not proud? im chinese and im proud and people make fun of me, You should be proud your american

[jamesking1979]

@MrDeathmachin3 People make fun of you or you lét people make fun of you? I'm chinese also, I dont see your point..

[jamesking1979]

@MrDeathmachin3 sorry that reaction was uncalled for.

[MrDeathmachin3]

@jamesking1979 lol

[jamesking1979]

@ultimatesol Sorry for maybe speaking out of turn, but I'm finished.. thanks for the conversation!

Best Regards,

kw

[sadata]

[thaMBD2Ms]

where can i download it for free???

no limewire or frostwire or torrents pls ;)

5*

[InvincibleIt]

Then the only option for you is to copy it from the temporary files of your Internet browser. But you'll need a player to play it as well (AFAIK WMP doesn't support FLV format).

[thaMBD2Ms]

k ty

[loonyeye]

love the song.  loved the movie too

[lajko100]

love this movie, i only saw 1,2,and 3 i think

isnt there 4,5, and 6, i think i might have seen 4, to long ago to remmember

[RampageV3]

yep, 1,2,3 and 6 with Jet Li and 4 and 5 with Zhao Wen-Zhou as Wong Fei-Hong.

[InvincibleIt]

I really liked the first one. Others were worse. Part 1 > part 2 > part 3 > part 6. And I completely disliked parts 4 and 5. That dude was way too young (soft?) for Wong Fei-Hung's role, IMHO.

[clevermind]

I know how to play it in both flute and Yang Qin :D .. proud soloist

[InvincibleIt]

I envy you so much...

[clevermind]

XD Thanks to my conductor for the very hard practice that we have.

[WaPow13]

got this song in english i love the movie :)

[Mustanaamio7]

Best theme ever and this is also one of my favorite martial arts movies.

[InvincibleIt]

Yeah, I like this theme a lot too. The movie itself isn't so great at all, but I do like the fighting scenes.

[iamp41]

Where can i download this?
