The last scene (Snot-Nosed Kid) Spoiler Alert!!


At the end it appears that everyone is alive and walking around the Lollipop shop as if we're looking into the past.
The Beggar offers the Kung Fu manuals to the Snot Faced Kid.
My son said that the kid is the Beast when younger. Notice he wasn't interested in the Buddha's Palm manual, but was definetly interested in the other manuals.


I think my son is right.

It probably isn't true, but it'd be awesome if it was.

I thought that kid looks exactly the same as the Axe-Gang leader, he really does!

but it doesn't make that much sense, must be The Beast

Yeah, I agree with Arach. Showing them as kids means they lost are the pain and emotional baggage they've carried with them as adults, and are starting over together young and innocent almost like they're picking up where they left off when they first met.

The snot nosed kid was just another kid the begger was trying to get money from. Of course he looks like the assassin and the axe gang leader, two eyes, nose in the middle of the face, mouth just below it. It's kind of a regular asian kid's face. If someone had an eyepatch and so did the kid that would be different.

Of course, was the kid really a swindler? Sing does use the Buddha Palm at the end. This is a mystical martial arts movie after all, Sing and the Beast where destroying Pig Style Alley while fighting, not ever wrestlers would be knocking over real walls in a fight like that. I assumed the begger really was some crazy prophet.

I disagree because in the same scene, we saw the landlord and landlady walking by as younger versions of themselves.

I'd beg for some forgiveness but begging's not my business.

Who said the landlord and the landlady were necessarily shown as their "younger selves"? They looked the same to me. Also, we saw the shampoo guy (the guy whose butt is showing all throughout the film) in that very same scene, giving a bouquet of flowers to a girl. We also saw the "semi-main" Axe Gang member walk by, with Rabbit-Tooth Jane (not sure if that's her name. I'm talking about the vain girl from Pig Sty Alley). I don't believe the semi-main Axe Gang member's name was ever mentioned in the film; he's the guy who asked "what's the hold up" (or something) when the landlord and the landlady "visited" the Axe Gang leader and his assistant in the car; he's also the only Axe Gang "extra" that gets screen time (enough to make you recognize him).

I think your son is pretty smart! It makes sense that it's the Beast.

That kid isn't the Beast. The ending was meant to be humorous. That random kid is just some gullible kid similar to Sing who gets swindled by the beggar. That sequence is just like the flashback sequence where Sing got swindled by a beggar. Therein lies the humor.

Actually, I was hoping to see Beast as a happy employee in the candy store.

Guess there really are people who act worse than 12 year olds.

No mention of this whatsoever, so I'll put it out there...

Was ANYONE ELSE grossed out by that kid and his "snot"?!?! OMG, so gross! And I've seen my share of disgusting scenes...all kinds of vomiting, *beep* flung, you name it...this scene is just SO disgusting...ugh!

and that's what made him "The Beast".

There was a scene where the Beast picked his nose - had a good ol' rummage around in there, too.

I think the man, who gives the kid a manual and takes their money, is a Kung Fu master and he can spot the one in a million.

I think showing Sing and the mute girl as kids just symbolized that they are going back to a happier time, when they were kids. They are still in present time but their inner children found each other again. It's actually a really sweet story between the 2 of them. The manual salesmen is just the cycle repeating itself again. New generation, new Kung Fu master.

That was a preempted sh! Just know I have a whole bag of sh! with your name on it.
