Kickboxer (1989) Edit

A high livin', slick talkin', fast walkin'...

About 30 minutes.

Ain't no place for having doubt

Ain't nobody

All right, my man!

All right, out. Go on. We'll party later. Out!

All right!

All she offers is soda pop.

All the rounds.

American can get away it, so it's good.

Ancient way?

And getting close l won't bend

And I froze.

And I wasn't there.

And like I said, you ain't good enough!

And now it's all the family we've got.

And now, you drive me in Pedi cab.

And still heavyweight champion of the world...

And that their mother have sex with mules.

And tough.

And Uncle Xian's going to teach you?

And you're going to help?

And, uh

Are you kidding? The best. I go make some right now.

Around the tenth vertebrae.

Asshole!

At least the both of you had the love of one parent.

Baby, do it!

Be a chickenshit all your life.

Be back late.

Because I tell them you say they no good fighters...

Between Tong Po and American challenger.

Bitches never get enough of my stuff.

Breathe in.

Breathe out when hit.

Bring my usual. What do you want to drink?

Brother lose very badly to Tong Po.

Bullshit!

But fate has also provided me with Uncle Xian...

But Freddy Li's goons are also a mess.

But he made me strong.

But I did not tell Kurt.

But I'm glad we do.

But if I do, l put you in danger.

But this brother different.

But we're brothers.

By the way, don't you provoke him, you hear?

Bye.

Can't do that!

Change clothes.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Get up!

Come on. Listen. Help me.

Come, quick!

Congratulations. Heard about your fight last night.

Cool drinkin' dude.

Dad never let up.

Damn it, kid!

Damn.

Deal.

Did you see that? He got me with an elbow.

Dipped in broken glass.

Don't know who you are, what you want.

Don't know who you are. Maybe next year.

Don't let those jerks take your money.

Don't move.

Don't provoke him?

Don't step there.

Driven by desire

Easy, easy!

Eat your food.

Eric "the Eliminator" Stone!

Eric, don't do it.

Eric, I'm in the best shape of my life.

Eric, please, I've got a bad feeing about this one.

Eric, we got to get going. I got held up on some business

Especially when hanging upside down for too long.

Even to survive.

Excuse me, sir. We have to go.

Feeling

For lunch. Catching people in rope make me hungry.

Forget about it. I'm not signing your death warrant too!

Freddy Li pay police not to interfere.

Freddy Li.

Fuck no!

Get him, Kiki!

Get him, Kurt!

Get him!

Get me some ice, will ya? Let's go.

Get the police.

Give back the money.

Give it up. Let's go home.

Give me Tong Po!

Glory calls lt's waiting for you

Go on, kill him!

Go.

Good for him.

Good morning, Eric.

Good timing.

Good training.

Good?

Good.

Got hurt. That's why I'm here.

Got my kid brother in my corner for now. He says he's going to be a vet.

Got to get on up

Got to learn, kid. Come on.

Guess not.

Guns, grenades, mines, armoured cars, tanks.

Had a buddy in 'Nam like an older brother.

Hands wrapped in hemp and resin...

He has been trained by Xian Chou.

He is wearing the traditional robes of a messenger...

He looks bad. Let's move it.

He looks pretty mean to me.

He needed me once...

He put you in that wheelchair for life.

He run this province from Freddy Li.

He said the same stuff about you.

He said your training not finished today.

He was always on my case...

He'll be in the hospital for at least three months before he can be moved.

He's definitely the eliminator.

He's going to pay for this. You hear me?

He's too valuable to them!

Heard about American champion last week. Very swelled head.

Here? Really?

Hey, a punch is a punch. A kick's a kick. We came to fight.

Hey, champ, how come you don't use a trainer anymore?

Hey, Eric! They let you out early?

Hey, how much time we got?

Hey, where're you going?

Hey, you want me to break my leg?

Hey! I brought you here to work my corner.

Hi. Welcome to Bangkok.

His mind must be clear for the fight.

Hot.

How do you feel about fighting our champ Tong Po?

How many times do I have to tell ya? You don't win with that "tip tap" shit.

How to survive and come out alive.

I ain't crossing Freddy Li.

I am okay.

I asked him to teach me muay thai.

I can beat Tong Po.

I cannot lose my store. It is all I have.

I come with a good news and request.

I don't have any fuckin' idea. That's your problem.

I don't need your help.

I don't suppose we can just go back to the hotel.

I don't want to be fuckin' part of it! Go home!

I don't want you to fight Tong Po. You know what I'm saying.

I don't want your blood on my hands. I got enough all ready.

I go make lunch, then maybe we take a walk?

I have arranged a fight...

I have to go now.

I have to go.

I just like to enjoy life's many good pleasures.

I know. I'm ready. Don't worry.

I love you.

I mean, who wants to stay here anyway?

I never knew mine.

I promise you they will fight...

I really miss her.

I saw the look in his eyes. This guy's crazy.

I say he's going to be a lawyer, or I'm gonna kick his butt!

I told them they'd be sorry if they didn't; I'd raise hell.

I trust you will not fail me.

I understand kickboxing was invented there, and they're the best at it.

I used to help my uncle.

I want

I want down. And I want you to teach me muay thai.

I want him. I want Tong Po. I want to fight him.

I want to borrow one million dollars...

I want to bowl!

I want to celebrate

I want Tong Po!

I was born in Belgium, but now I live in Los Angeles.

I was sent by Mr. Xian to get his groceries.

I wish you were there.

I won't break

I worked four days cleaning it up.

I'll be back in a few days to pick you up to see Eric.

I'll be back in a few hours.

I'll find him. I don't need your help.

I'll get the van.

I'll kick your ass all over the place.

I'll make my specialty: Jungle Survivor Quiche.

I'll win that fight for you and me.

I'm a better fighter than I ever was before...

I'm a survivor.

I'm afraid he can never walk again.

I'm better off here. Less of a danger to anybody.

I'm going to need all the help I can get.

I'm going to talk to Uncle Xian about this.

I'm sorry. There's nothing more I can do.

I'm sure. I can't wait.

I'm telling you, man, he's weirder than a three headed cat. Good luck.

I'm the best. This is just another chance for me to prove it.

I'm very sorry.

If I can't stop you, I might know somebody who'll train you.

If I wasn't the best at every sport l played, he'd call me a loser.

If you can do both at same time...

If you stay with him, he will make you the best you can be.

In some ways, we're different...

In the blood a mighty warrior

In the old underground tomb.

Is that enough?

Is this the Mylee store?

It says you will fight the old ways

It's a different culture. Different world.

It's all right

It's also a powerful one.

It's cobra heads.

It's cool. I'll take him to a good hospital.

It's different.

It's fortunate...

It's going to be a long night. You may as well get some sleep.

It's good stuff. What is this?

It's okay. Do you like the food?

It's so high and I'm so behind

Jesus Christ, get off of me! You can give Americans a bad rep!

Just don't forget, you're fighting your champ next week.

Just listen...

Kick the tree.

Kiki.

Kurt, listen to me!

Kurt.

Learn later. First, relax.

Legs!

Let me get his things.

Let me tell you about Tong Po's boss, Freddy Li.

Let Tong Po punish you...

Let's go!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's talk more about that later. Right now I'm starved.

Like I said before...

Like to see you dance, observe your balance.

Listen to me!

Listen to me.

Listen to what?

Look at me. I can beat him.

Look what you did to my store!

Lost badly in fight.

Make crowd happy.

Message from Freddy Li.

Mom raised me in Europe, and Dad raised Eric in America.

Morning, Xian.

Motherfucker wants to street fight? I'll show him.

Move on out

Must train different in America. Your defence stinks.

My br

My brother came here to fight Tong Po.

My entire family was taken when I was just an infant.

My name's Taylor, Army special Forces.

My store was a mess.

My uncle does not teach anyone anymore.

Mylee good fuck.

Mylee, cut these ropes.

Name's Xian.

Neutral corner!

Never make decision on empty stomach.

Never surrender

No one has even lasted five rounds in his last eight fights.

No step there.

No!

No! I must train now.

No. We got him.

Now it's your turn to listen to me.

Now Kiki even too.

Now that you've beaten everyone there is to beat, what's next?

Oh, make them very angry, fight hard.

Oh, really? Kid, book us a flight to Taiwan, first.

Oh, yeah, dancing. I'm good. Why?

Oh, yeah. I don't go to raunchy cubs any more.

Oh, yeah. It's good stuff, man.

Okay, go!

Okay! Take it easy!

Okay. Let's go, champ.

On the side

One day that dog is going to believe in me.

One, two, three, four, five All right.

Or brother die...

Our parents divorced when Eric and I were both in grade school.

Please try. It's better for you.

Please, do not interfere.

Please, sir.

Please, you must say nothing.

Please.

Power. Power kicks.

Protect.

Ready to protect?

Really? But you are American.

Relax. I know a nice, mellow place close by.

Retired, sort of.

Revenge is a dangerous motive.

Right now

Roughly translated...

See ya, kid.

See you inside.

Sent to bring news of a fight, the ancient way.

She wanted me to learn three languages...

She wants to make it with the champ.

Sit. Come on.

Sleep? I can't sleep!

So good today

So I am happy.

So watch and learn. It's all in the legs.

So what? Can he move like me?

So why you think l teach you muay thai?

So, Kiki, what do you think? I am ready or what?

So, what's it gonna be? The Pink Pussy or the Kitten Candy Club?

So, you see...

Something I want to do for you a long time ago.

Speak.

Standing in my way

Stop!

Take this path. Go to the village.

Take us to town, to the doctor.

Take your bag and leave my house.

Take your gloves off. Let's go hit the pads.

Tao Liu, master warlord...

Taught me everything.

Taxi!

Taylor, Kiki's still alive.

Taylor. He say you're the only one who might train me.

Teach me.

Tell me the truth.

Tell me!

Tell me.

Than you ever were.

Thanks, Taylor. What about Xian?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks. Now we're even.

That was my brother, and now he cannot walk.

That was very stupid!

That way, won't get hit.

That's good.

That's it.

That's my brother!

That's power, kid.

That's right. And I don't want you in one alongside me.

That's the way they fight here. I told you.

That's the way, baby!

The ancient way...

The champ is really awesome.

The dust was failing down.

The only way is inside the ring.

The only way you'll find him is inside the ring, and you're not good enough!

The winner in 38 seconds of the fourth round...

There's a mountain that I have to climb

There's a river that I have to cross

There's gonna be a price to pay

There's two more fights!

They called me nack suk cao "the white warrior."

They want to make sure you not win.

They'd just as soon kill you as look at you, kid.

Think you're going to win this time?

This is Stone City, where many ancient warriors come.

This will make run faster.

This? How?

To bet on Tong Po.

To put you in the ring with Tong Po.

To take ballet, before I learned karate.

Tomorrow

Tong Po is a killer!

Tong Po ****d me...

Tong Po very mean man. Very dangerous.

Tong Po.

Too many people come before. Now he prefers to be alone.

Translated, "kiss of death." You like?

Uncle Xian sent you?

Uncle Xian. He is very different.

Very funny. Can you cut me down, please?

Very slowly.

Wait a goddamn minute! You're not fighting that asshole like that!

Wait your three months and go home where you're safe!

Wait! Wait!

Wake up! He's not going to let you out of that ring alive.

Wasn't nothin' there for me, so I stayed.

Watch this kid. He's goin' down in this round.

We're family. Let's kick some ass. Come on.

Well, big brother, they could never get along.

What about this? Huh?

What about training?

What am I supposed to learn here?

What are they saying?

What did he say?

What do you need for that quiche?

What does he have to tell me?

What is your request?

What the hell happened?

What was I supposed to do? Let them take your money?

What?

What's going on?

What's happening? You stayin', comin' or what?

What's the difference? I'm kickin' ass wherever I go.

What's up?

What's your problem? You're either with me, or go the fuck home.

Whatever I can get my hands on. Don't worry, you're safe with me.

When they try to break you down you can take it

Where are you from?

Where is he?

Where many ancient warriors come.

Where the hell you been? Gimme the ice.

Where's the goddamn hospital?

Where's the goddamn ice in this dump?

While you train here, listen.

While you train here, listen.

Whoa! Take it easy.

Why are you helping me?

Why did you leave? And why they were so pissed at me?

Why is he dressed like that?

Why not set up fight with your good fighters?

Why you come to Thailand?

Why? What do you do?

Winner, palm tree.

Winston Taylor?

With your mind, your heart, your whole being.

Xian...

Yeah, American dancing. Disco.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah. Yes!

Yes, but what if he doesn't get away with it?

Yes, I want to try muay thai.

Yes, I'm Mylee. May I help you?

Yes!

Yes!

Yes. And very wise.

Yes. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Yes. That's why I went to see your uncle.

Yo! Hey, wait!

You are very fortunate.

You bleed like Mylee.

You can find him.

You don't understand.

You go after him outside the ring and we're dead all of us!

You got any breakfast out here?

You gotta come to terms with that or you won't last a heartbeat.

You hear me?

You know, Eric, Mom, she was a very special lady too.

You must help him find Eric.

You must last to the end...

You must learn to be faster than any punch or kick.

You never fought this style before. It's so different.

You see how he embarrassed your young fighters inside?

You sure had it easy with Mom in Europe.

You understand, huh?

You want brother alive?

You want this?

You were born a fighter

You what?

You will not be disappointed.

You will stay a while. We have many things to discuss.

You're going to fight Tong Po?

You're going to make him walk again.

You're gonna live to regret this. Mark my words.

You're right, kid. Kurt!

You're so beautiful.

You've done it before.

Your brother is paralyzed.

Your brother. Remember?

After lunch you go to special place. Special place?

At Mylee's store, get groceries. Groceries?

Bangkok. Bangkok, Taiwan, Tokyo

But I did it, not you Freddy Li won't care.

Can I see him now? The doctor say stop by tomorrow.

Come on. This is your idea of a mellow place?

Did they succeed? No.

Did you get my things? Yeah. I got everything.

Excellent. My niece has many talent.

Fuckin' music's drivin' me crazy. Let's forget about the music.

Good defence? Yeah.

Good. Hey, my man.

Groceries. Rice, flour, honey What for?

He did that? Yes. Can you believe it?

He's coming. Don't worry.

He's fucking crazy! Good. The crowd'll love it.

He's your uncle? Yes, but how do you know him?

Hello. I help you?

Hey! Trust me. Don't fight this guy.

Hit him again, champ! Break! Take him to his corner.

Huh? Let's talk.

I don't know where I'll get him. You don't understand.

I don't want to drink. You want me to take you tomorrow...

I don't want you to fight him. What?

I just know how to find him. Let's go.

I must pay. It is all right. No, it's not!

I worry for him. He will learn my way.

Is Kurt around? He's training on his own.

Just tell me where he is. Goddamn it, no!

Just tryin' to help you. Take us to a hospital!

Lives out in the sticks. Will he do it?

May I help you? Yes. Help me down.

Must you fight him? I have to.

Not a chance. Come inside.

Now. Now? Fuck now. I'm goin' drinkin'.

Oh, really? Yes.

Piece of cake. Think so?

Ready to protect? Uh huh.

Really? Yeah.

So? Americans have swelled heads.

Someone? Maybe.

That's what I thought. I trained muay thai with the old man.

They'd be proud. Yeah.

Tomorrow? Yes. We're doing all we can.

Watch your wallet. She doesn't want my wallet.

Water. Bring him a Perrier. Yeah!

Way to go, champ! Wow!

What about Thailand? What about it?

What do you mean, paralyzed? The spinal chord was damaged...

What do you mean? I get in big trouble now!

What do you mean? We must all pay, or there is trouble.

What do you think? I think you're out of your mind.

What do you want? You're serious about this muay thai.

What if he doesn't take you? He will. Let's go.

What is this? This is Xian Land.

What? Just cut them.

What's going on? You don't want training.

Who? There's one person crazy enough...

Why so late? Sorry it took so long.

Why? My brother. Remember?

Xian Chou? The American will not win.

Yeah, champ! You're the best!

You can do it, champ! Let's fight!

You fight before? Yeah.

You good dancer? Dancing?

You good? Yeah, I'm good.

You got him, champ! Let's go!
