Hot-Blooded Tribe (2026) Movie Script
Take some men.
Sneak in from upstream.
Don't let the Wengka see you.
Do we set the fires first,
or grab people first?
Kill first.
Not bad.
You're getting really good
at shooting with either hand.
Your archery's improved fast too.
That arrow nearly grazed my arm.
Well? Admit defeat?
Want another round?
Bring it on. Who's afraid?
Not bad.
Again.
Impressive.
Can't move now, can you?
I was going easy on you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance.
So, how about this chance?
Stop it.
They had a calf.
We should have one too.
I heard
the Stone Claw people
have been poaching in
our hunting grounds again.
From the look of things,
they're after more than a few animals.
I'm afraid they have
something else in mind.
In recent years, the Stone Claw Tribe
has attacked tribe after tribe.
Their women
have either died
or been wounded.
Their tribe
has no women of marriageable age left.
I hear that in their tribe,
three or four men
share one woman.
These recent probes by Stone Claw
aren't just about stealing our game.
They probably want to seize our women too,
and force us to become their slaves.
Some of our women lately
often go bathe by the hot springs.
Tell them to be extra careful.
Better yet, tell them not to go for now.
Also, the tribe's seeds
and grain.
Are they well hidden?
Don't worry, Elder.
I've already had our people move the seeds
to the south,
into a dry cave.
Good.
You always think things through.
I want to move
some of the elderly and
children who can't fight
to the south.
We're just useless old people now.
The Stone Claw and the other tribes
would gain nothing by capturing us.
We should all move south together.
It'll be safer that way.
When are you coming to ask for my hand?
I need to prepare first.
What if your father throws me out?
That's more like it.
Asking for my hand is a big deal.
Of course you should prepare properly.
I know, I know.
You go inside first.
I'm going to take a leak.
You!
For years, Stone Claw has
seized our hunting grounds
and taken over our forests.
They rely on their superior numbers,
while we keep retreating and giving way.
Stone Claw
has expanded its hunting
grounds three times in six months.
They're closing in step by step.
If we don't leave now,
our entire tribe
could be wiped out.
We Wengka are not cowards.
We can fight.
Yes!
The Stone Claw people
outnumber us five to one.
Five to one.
Then we'll fight them to the death!
Fight!
Fight!
A head-on fight is suicide.
Can you guarantee we'll beat them?
Three years ago,
we fought them once.
These are all the people we had left.
If we fight again,
how many of us will remain?
And if we don't fight,
are we supposed to keep letting them
walk all over us?
We'll follow the Elder's decision.
Take more than twenty of our young men
and start building a bridge
by the river tomorrow.
The rest of the men
will move the grain and
seeds to the river first.
The women, children, and elderly
will stay in the village
and carry on as usual.
The whole tribe moves south
at dawn the day after tomorrow.
Are we really moving south?
What do we do?
What else? Go back and get ready.
Hurry and pack up.
Leave all the useless odds and ends behind.
Bring the vines over here, quick!
Right away!
Take those two little troublemakers
and go on ahead.
I'll carry your things for you.
We're packed at home.
Go help
the elderly, children, widows,
and orphans in the tribe.
Father.
I understand.
Take some men.
Sneak in from upstream.
Don't let the Wengka see you.
Do we set the fires first,
or grab people first?
Kill first.
Kill every last Wengka slave!
Run!
Run into the forest!
How much grain and millet did you find?
Not much.
Only a dozen baskets or so.
What about iron?
Just a few dozen lousy blades,
and some arrows.
A lot of the arrowheads
are still sharpened stone.
Take the grain, millet, and
iron tools back to the tribe first.
Watch out for the Mianhe
people from the north.
I'll bring these slaves behind you.
Brother.
I'll leave a few more men with you.
No need.
They're just a few female slaves.
They can't cause any trouble.
Don't worry.
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi, where are you?
Yezhi!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
I don't need your help here.
I just wanted to ask you something.
What have you prepared
for the marriage proposal?
I've prepared quite a lot.
You don't need to worry about it.
Good, as long as you're prepared.
I was just asking.
Be careful by the river tomorrow.
Yezhi was taken too.
Stone Claw wants to use
her to force us into slavery.
Please, let me take a few men to save them.
Give up that idea.
The lives of our people come first.
We can't risk
the entire tribe for just a few people,
even if she's my only daughter.
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
Even so,
then I am no longer one of the Wengka.
The fog is thick here.
Keep a close eye on them.
The fog is thick here.
Keep a close eye on them.
Yes.
Be careful.
Move!
Don't try anything.
Brother.
Something's happening over there.
I'll take a few men and check it out.
Mm.
You few, come with me.
Those men still aren't back.
Take a few men and go check.
What's going on? They're still not back.
It must be the Wengka.
They actually dare come
back and provoke us.
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
Chief.
The seeds, grain, and millet
are already across the bridge.
Mulangge, he...
Getting our people to safety comes first.
Split up and search.
Your people have all moved south.
Why did you come back?
Is one of the girls I captured your woman?
You beasts!
Move!
Brother, so many men went
out, and not one has come back.
Could it be...?
None of the Wengka have the guts for this.
Relax.
They'll be back when the rain stops.
Not one of them came back.
Something's definitely wrong.
If they're still not back by dawn,
we'll need to be careful.
Stay extra alert tonight.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Brother.
I'll take a few men and go check.
Wait until dawn.
Tonight,
keep a close watch.
When we get back, pick a Wengka girl
and give us a fine son.
Look at him.
He had one son,
and another right before we left.
What's that thing between
your legs for, decoration?
If it doesn't work, go see the High Priest.
Want me to help you out?
Save you a trip to the High Priest.
Don't let go!
You've been sitting there half the day.
Just say what you want to say.
Chief.
I...
You want to go
find Mulangge,
right?
Then go if you want.
This is your own choice. It
has nothing to do with the tribe.
If
if we're not back after the
tribe crosses the bridge,
cut down the vine bridge.
Another son.
What's that thing between
your legs for, decoration?
If it doesn't work, go see the High Priest
and have him take a look.
Have him take a look.
Which one of you
wants to bear me a child?
You Stone Claw savages,
men no woman would ever love,
we'll never bear your children.
If you've got the nerve, kill me.
What's the point of tying me up?
If you've got the guts.
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
You?
You think I'd bear your child?
Never!
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
He couldn't even wait until we got back.
Pathetic.
Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go!
I like
girls with some fight in them.
Let go!
The Wengka are attacking!
We're under attack!
Keep a close eye on her!
The Wengka are attacking!
We're under attack!
Split up and search.
The Wengka are here!
The Wengka are here!
Go get him back, now!
Why?
Think about it carefully.
I understand.
Don't be angry.
I called you back to save your life.
Once the rain stops,
we'll split these girls up.
Especially the two girls
tied to wooden poles.
Keep them separated.
We don't want any trouble.
Head into the forest.
Avoid the elephant herd.
Get into the forest first.
Anyone who causes trouble,
kill them.
Quick!
Run!
I'm going to kill him!
I'll avenge Second Brother!
A blood debt
must be paid in blood.
No!
Yanlong!
How did you escape?
The elephant herd scattered us.
They were captured again.
Then hurry across the bridge.
Go find the others.
You take them ahead.
All right.
Move faster!
Don't try anything.
Did you find anything?
No.
Move faster!
Stop dragging your feet.
Don't try any tricks.
Buyina!
Yina!
Yina!
For a few women,
you'd even throw your own life away.
Yezhi!
What do we do now?
We go find Mulangge.
He must still be alive.
Let go of me!
Stop!
I'll kill this slave woman first,
then I'll kill you two.
No!
Let her go!
If you've got the guts, come at me!
So she's the woman you came to save.
Then watch how she dies.
You beast!
Kill him!
Avenge our people!
Let her go!
I'll do anything.
Fine.
Then kill him.
Let me see you kill one of your own.
If it will save Yezhi,
then take my life.
Do it!
Mulangge!
Don't fall for it!
Kill that beast!
Kill him, now!
If you don't kill him,
you'll watch your woman die.
Stop!
Kill me instead.
Kill that beast!
Mulangge!
Don't worry about me!
Don't come any closer!
Don't worry about me!
Don't come any closer!
Kill that beast, now!
Don't worry about me!
Mulangge!
Don't come any closer!
Kill that beast!
Hurry! Kill that beast!
Don't come any closer!
Mulangge!
Don't fall for it!
Kill that beast!
Kill him!
Mulangge!
Kill him, now!
Yanlong!
Mulangge! Mulangge!
What happened?
Why are you running so fast?
It's dangerous by the river.
Be careful.
Oh, it's fine.
Hurry back and pack.
I want...
Oh!
I... I want you to hold me.
Oh!
There are too many people here.
Slow down when you eat.
I told you to keep watch,
and you're here spying on me.
They're biting me!
We're not waiting any longer.
Get ready to cut the bridge.
Someone's coming from the other side.
I'm just glad you're back.
Come on. Let's go home.
Impressive.
Can't move now, can you?
I was going easy on you.
Otherwise,
how would you have had a chance?
So, how about this chance?
You!
Sneak in from upstream.
Don't let the Wengka see you.
Do we set the fires first,
or grab people first?
Kill first.
Not bad.
You're getting really good
at shooting with either hand.
Your archery's improved fast too.
That arrow nearly grazed my arm.
Well? Admit defeat?
Want another round?
Bring it on. Who's afraid?
Not bad.
Again.
Impressive.
Can't move now, can you?
I was going easy on you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance.
So, how about this chance?
Stop it.
They had a calf.
We should have one too.

our hunting grounds again.

I've already had our people move the seeds
to the south,
into a dry cave.
Good.
You always think things through.
I want to move
some of the elderly and
children who can't fight
to the south.
We're just useless old people now.
The Stone Claw and the other tribes
would gain nothing by capturing us.
We should all move south together.
It'll be safer that way.
When are you coming to ask for my hand?
I need to prepare first.

Take the grain, millet, and
iron tools back to the tribe first.
Watch out for the Mianhe
people from the north.
I'll bring these slaves behind you.
Brother.
I'll leave a few more men with you.
No need.
They're just a few female slaves.
They can't cause any trouble.
Don't worry.
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi!
Yezhi, where are you?
Yezhi!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
I don't need your help here.
I just wanted to ask you something.
What have you prepared
for the marriage proposal?
I've prepared quite a lot.
You don't need to worry about it.
Good, as long as you're prepared.

Be careful by the river tomorrow.
Yezhi was taken too.
Stone Claw wants to use
her to force us into slavery.
Please, let me take a few men to save them.
Give up that idea.
The lives of our people come first.
We can't risk
the entire tribe for just a few people,
even if she's my only daughter.
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
Even so,
then I am no longer one of the Wengka.
The fog is thick here.
Keep a close eye on them.
The fog is thick here.
Keep a close eye on them.
Yes.
Be careful.
Move!
Don't try anything.
Brother.
Something's happening over there.
I'll take a few men and check it out.
Mm.
You few, come with me.
Those men still aren't back.
Take a few men and go check.
What's going on? They're still not back.
It must be the Wengka.
They actually dare come
back and provoke us.
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
You can't even protect your own daughter.
How are you fit to be chief of the Wengka?
Chief.
The seeds, grain, and millet
are already across the bridge.
Mulangge, he...
Getting our people to safety comes first.
Split up and search.
Your people have all moved south.
Why did you come back?
Is one of the girls I captured your woman?
You beasts!
Move!
Brother, so many men went
out, and not one has come back.
Could it be...?
None of the Wengka have the guts for this.
Relax.
They'll be back when the rain stops.
Not one of them came back.
Something's definitely wrong.
If they're still not back by dawn,
we'll need to be careful.
Stay extra alert tonight.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Listen up. Stay focused and keep watch.
Brother.
I'll take a few men and go check.
Wait until dawn.
Tonight,
keep a close watch.
When we get back, pick a Wengka girl
and give us a fine son.
Look at him.
He had one son,
and another right before we left.
What's that thing between
your legs for, decoration?
If it doesn't work, go see the High Priest.
Want me to help you out?
Save you a trip to the High Priest.
Don't let go!
You've been sitting there half the day.
Just say what you want to say.
Chief.
I...
You want to go
find Mulangge,
right?
Then go if you want.
This is your own choice. It
has nothing to do with the tribe.
If
if we're not back after the
tribe crosses the bridge,
cut down the vine bridge.
Another son.
What's that thing between
your legs for, decoration?
If it doesn't work, go see the High Priest
and have him take a look.
Have him take a look.
Which one of you
wants to bear me a child?
You Stone Claw savages,
men no woman would ever love,
we'll never bear your children.
If you've got the nerve, kill me.
What's the point of tying me up?
If you've got the guts.
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
You?
You think I'd bear your child?
Never!
Let go of me!
Beast!
Let go of me!
He couldn't even wait until we got back.
Pathetic.
Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Let go!
I like
girls with some fight in them.
Let go!
The Wengka are attacking!
We're under attack!
Keep a close eye on her!
The Wengka are attacking!
We're under attack!
Split up and search.
The Wengka are here!
The Wengka are here!
Go get him back, now!
Why?
Think about it carefully.
I understand.
Don't be angry.
I called you back to save your life.
Once the rain stops,
we'll split these girls up.
Especially the two girls
tied to wooden poles.
Keep them separated.
We don't want any trouble.
Head into the forest.
Avoid the elephant herd.
Get into the forest first.
Anyone who causes trouble,
kill them.
Quick!
Run!
I'm going to kill him!
I'll avenge Second Brother!
A blood debt
must be paid in blood.
No!
Yanlong!
How did you escape?
The elephant herd scattered us.
They were captured again.
Then hurry across the bridge.
Go find the others.
You take them ahead.
All right.
Move faster!
Don't try anything.
Did you find anything?
No.
Move faster!
Stop dragging your feet.
Don't try any tricks.
Buyina!
Yina!
Yina!
For a few women,
you'd even throw your own life away.
Yezhi!
What do we do now?
We go find Mulangge.
He must still be alive.
Let go of me!
Stop!
I'll kill this slave woman first,
then I'll kill you two.
No!
Let her go!
If you've got the guts, come at me!
So she's the woman you came to save.
Then watch how she dies.
You beast!
Kill him!
Avenge our people!
Let her go!
I'll do anything.
Fine.
Then kill him.
Let me see you kill one of your own.
If it will save Yezhi,
then take my life.
Do it!
Mulangge!
Don't fall for it!
Kill that beast!
Kill him, now!
If you don't kill him,
you'll watch your woman die.
Stop!
Kill me instead.
Kill that beast!
Mulangge!
Don't worry about me!
Don't come any closer!
Don't worry about me!
Don't come any closer!
Kill that beast, now!
Don't worry about me!
Mulangge!
Don't come any closer!
Kill that beast!
Hurry! Kill that beast!
Don't come any closer!
Mulangge!
Don't fall for it!
Kill that beast!
Kill him!
Mulangge!
Kill him, now!
Yanlong!
Mulangge! Mulangge!
What happened?
Why are you running so fast?
It's dangerous by the river.
Be careful.
Oh, it's fine.
Hurry back and pack.
I want...
Oh!
I... I want you to hold me.
Oh!
There are too many people here.
Slow down when you eat.
I told you to keep watch,
and you're here spying on me.
They're biting me!
We're not waiting any longer.
Get ready to cut the bridge.
Someone's coming from the other side.
I'm just glad you're back.
Come on. Let's go home.
Impressive.
Can't move now, can you?
I was going easy on you.
Otherwise,
how would you have had a chance?
So, how about this chance?
You!
