Bloodsport (1988) Edit

About the kumite, I'm sorry.

After all, we have all night.

After three days...

All right, Frankie!

All right, Frankie! Yeah!

All right!

All right!

All we want you to do is pass this picture out to your men.

And as the guardians of a rich and powerful heritage.

And don't disqualify by fighting outside the arena.

And he desires to learn martial science, too.

And how about you?

And I don't want to see your face again until Dux is beside it!

And nothing can distract you...

And we all know it's going on over the next three days.

And we're here to stop him.

And you and Mrs. Tanaka...

And you want to be the best reporter you can be, for him and yourself, right?

Another chance to pass on the teaching.

Anytime, anyplace, anywhere...

Are our rooms ready?

Are you awake, Shidoshi?

Are you ready?

Aren't you a little young for full contact?

As co sponsor for this event...

Asia's a very big place, you know.

Asshole.

Because you might have to go up against me next time.

Begin a new family, have a son...

Bottom one.

But I'll have to wait, sir.

But I'm not going to stand around and watch it.

But more than that...

But what took you so long?

But you are about to cross an invisible border into mainland China.

But you got to have a clear head. You hear me?

But you have so much to teach.

By the way, next time you fight...

Captain?

Careful.

Chong Li stood there and watched him die.

Chong Li! Chong Li!

Chong Li! Chong Li!

Chong Li! Chong Li! Chong Li!

Chong Li! Chong Li! Chong Li!

Chong Li's weak in the gut.

Col. Cooke would like to see you before you leave.

Come back, Frank!

Come on, Frank!

Come on, Frank.

Come on, Frank. What's the matter, you chicken?

Come on, get up! Come on!

Come on, let's do it, buddy.

Come on!

Couldn't you just get me in?

Death touch.

Did he say, or do you know if he was going to Hong Kong?

Don't make it tough on us.

Don't make us use 50,000 volts on you.

Don't question me!

Don't you get too cocky.

Dux, my man!

Earth to Frankie.

Every five years, the best fighters in its ranks...

Except your own energy.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Father to son.

Feel strong today?

First, you'll show the Black Dragon boys your invitation.

Follow me.

For 2,000 years...

Forget about the girl.

Forget him! Let's go!

Frank came here to pay his respects.

Frank Dux is at the East Lake Hotel in Kowloon.

Frank Dux.

Frank has told me you came to America to grow vines.

Frank sees my son's skill...

Frank, I don't want to see you get hurt.

Frank, read my lips. We are taking you back now.

Frankie!

Geez, Frankie, I hope you know what you're doing.

Get Helmer and Rawlins on this right away.

Get him! Come on!

Get up, Frankie!

Get up!

Go for the gut. He's soft there.

Go for the stomach and stay away from his right leg.

Go home!

Go practice your katas.

Go to your studies.

Go.

Good luck today.

Good. You're a good fighter.

Got it?

Gotcha. Like Put up your dukes, right?

Great, Frank, that's just great!

Guy died right there on the platform.

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Haji!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Hajime!

Have treated me like a son.

He found out you're going to Hong Kong. He wants to talk to you about it.

He is the American shithead who makes tricks with bricks.

He killed a guy during the last kumite.

He made him say Matté.

He says Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi.

He tell you anything?

He took a shower, I waited, and he disappeared.

He was at the gym, like you said.

He's dead! I got him! Yeah!

He's never been defeated.

He's not going to show.

He's resting now. He'll be so happy to see you.

He's right about that.

Here it comes, man, the Walled City.

Here's a picture of the man we're looking for.

Hey, babe, want to go out with a real big man?

Hey, guys!

Hey, have some eel.

His first fight in the kumite, he broke the fucking world record!

His name is Frank Dux.

His name is...

His name was on a list...

How are we going to stop him?

How are you feeling?

How come you coach him, but not me?

How do you feel today, Dux?

How is he?

I ain't your pal, dickface.

I also happen to know a little bit about some of your competition.

I am ready.

I bet we could think of something.

I brought you here to help me train my son.

I came here to grow fish in my hatchery.

I came here to start over...

I cannot help you.

I didn't come this far to stop now.

I don't know.

I doubt it.

I feel fine.

I feel good.

I found some information for you.

I get the girl.

I got a rep to uphold, you know.

I have a friend fighting in it. I don't want him to get hurt.

I have poured all my knowledge into you.

I have to go.

I just hope you don't end up like Jackson, or worse!

I know.

I know. The bottom one, right?

I love anything full contact. I need a few more scars on my face.

I love you, my friend.

I put him down!

I really want this story. It would mean so much to me.

I want to have the right picture.

I was a good writer. It seemed the right thing to do.

I wish everyone would calm down. I said, he'll be here.

I won't get hurt.

I'd really like to get to know you.

I'd really like you to help me get into the kumite.

I'll drink to that!

I'll fight in the kumite and make my father proud.

I'll get over it.

I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow.

I'll see what can be done.

I'll tell him you are here.

I'm a reporter.

I'm Frank Dux.

I'm going to Hong Kong.

I'm going to kill you, man!

I'm gonna make sure you guys give it your best.

I'm here, too, for the kumite.

I'm just trying to be the best I can be.

I'm Lin. You Jackson? You look like a Jackson.

I've been trying to get a story on the kumite.

I've heard that it's unnecessarily brutal...

If I can grab it before you close your hand...

If I cannot...

If Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi...

If they spot Dux, they give us a call at our hotel. Simple.

If we have to fight for her...

If you ever need me, I'll be there.

If you expect me to be his punching bag, you can forget about our deal.

If you want to see some real fighting, you can see me fight at the kumite.

In kumite, you will need it.

In the middle of a tourist paradise.

Inspector Chen.

Inspector Chen...

Inspector, no. We've got to take him back.

Is this your first time in Hong Kong?

It brings mind, body, spirit together.

It goes back to the old lease agreement between Great Britain and China.

It stopped.

It's a run down piece of no mars land...

It's okay.

It's personal.

It's so good to be here again.

It's time to get ready.

It's time to protect your nuts, guys.

It's very important to the government of the United States...

Jackson, you going to go to Hong Kong?

Janice, stay out of this.

Jesus Christ! If anything happens to Dux in Hong Kong...

Junbi!

Junbi!

Junbi!

Junbi!

Junbi!

Just answer the question.

Just be careful Chong Li doesn't separate your head from your body.

Just friends. Why?

Just give us a break. We've chased you all over Hong Kong.

Just relax.

Just stay out of it, pal. It's not your business, okay?

Knowledge passed from father to son...

Kumite? What is kumite?

Leave the girl alone.

Let's get it.

Like a cockfight, except it's with people.

Like an old man.

Like hell! Let go of me.

Like I break your friend.

Like vines, children need training.

Look at him, buddy. Yeah!

Look at the sword!

Look, Frank...

Looks like he did it to us again, huh?

Looks like she's mine.

Matté!

Maybe he already left, went somewhere else.

Meet me for dinner again tonight?

More!

Mr. Dux, you fought with inspiration.

Mr. Lin in Room 310 wants to see you after you check in.

Mrs. Tanaka... Mrs. Tanaka?

My buddy!

My father was a reporter.

My name's Jackson. This is Mr. Frank Dux.

My son, daughter, and wife.

No more training.

No shit, you honor his invitation!

No such thing as too late.

No, huh?

No, I got it. I don't want to take your money.

No, no. It's Dux.

No! Stop!

No. I never eat here.

Not bad, kid. Name's Ray Jackson.

Not if we make a deal.

Not just for me, for Tanaka, my Shidoshi, too.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Now I show you some trick or two.

Now leave the lady alone. You understand that?

Now what?

Now, remember, it's full contact.

Of course you know. We're not trying to...

Of its members.

Okay, Dux, you know why we're here.

Okay, Frank.

Okay, guys.

Okay, so here's the deal.

Okay, USA!

Okay, USA!

Okay.

Okay.

On a flight from San Francisco two days ago.

Once you step out of the sunlight into the narrow corridors...

One fighter will prove himself to be the best.

One minute he's there, then gone.

Only if you fuck up.

Practice until you can meditate...

Prepare the platform for the final match.

Ray, I'm here.

Right now, hurry up and change.

Right on!

Say it!

See? Not a scratch on it.

She is coming with me upstairs.

She's yours.

Shidoshi Tanaka trained me.

Shidoshi, I feel like I've lost part of my family, too.

Shingo and I were close friends, like brothers.

Shit!

Sir!

Sir?

So that you see and feel nothing...

So you stomped him real good?

Someday...

Someone almost got killed there today.

Son of a bitch!

Sorry.

Stay put.

Sure.

Sure. I'll try.

Take care.

Take him.

Take it.

Teach me. I can do it.

Tell him I'll be right there after I take a shower.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks.

That began hundreds of years ago.

That hurts me, just looking at it.

That we find Frank Dux.

That's a promise.

That's enough, Shingo.

That's enough. That's all for today.

That's how Parades surprised him.

That's why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.

That's why we're here, to make sure of that.

The Black Dragon Society...

The champion.

The doctor says you're going to be okay.

The government has invested a lot of time and money in you.

The Kokuryukai has been joined...

The kumite is for the fighters, not for the people who read newspapers.

The kumite?

The Triad, they are like the Mafia...

Then both of us will be thrown out of the kumite.

Then don't watch.

Then show us the dim mak.

Then you got to qualify and prove to them...

There aren't going to be any finals, Dux, at least not for you.

They have strict rules. No press.

They lived in Hiroshima.

They must be very close friends.

This is for you, Shidoshi.

This is ground control. Do you copy?

This is it, Frank.

This is real good stuff.

This isn't the first time I've had to go undercover to get a story.

Three, you throw the fucker right off the runway.

Time to separate the men from the boys.

Time's up. We can't wait any longer.

To find your way around.

To help you and the other North American fighters...

To honor you means everything to me.

To honor you, Shidoshi.

To keep an open mind!

Today you become part of a tradition...

Tomorrow we leave for the kumite.

Too handsome for you, honey?

Try to keep your clothes on.

Uncle Sam can't afford to let you get hurt.

Very good, but brick not hit back.

Very good.

Vic, choose a brick.

Victor's downstairs. Kumite Express leaves in five minutes.

War was wrong.

Was Frank here recently?

We all know the kumite is happening here in Hong Kong.

We both grow children.

We could arrange this another way.

We got fighters from all over.

We have reason to believe Frank is here in Hong Kong.

We honor your invitation.

We must follow the rules.

We of the Kokuryukai salute you.

We understand that he might have visited Mr. Tanaka recently.

We were hoping you'd hold onto this for reference.

We're all overworked, but we need your help.

We're here because Frank is fighting in the kumite...

We're not. He will.

We're taking you back, Frank. Let's go.

Welcome, warriors of the world.

Well done.

Well, actually, I was hoping Hussein would be free.

Well, you tell me about it then.

What about this one?

What are you doing? Keep going!

What are you doing? Keep going!

What are you talking about?

What did you call me?

What do you mean, disappeared?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What do you want from me?

What is this air of mystery?

What kind of a deal?

What the hell is a dim mak?

What's going on?

What's taking so long, Captain?

What's that?

What's the difference if Bruce Springsteen is his Shidoshi?

What's the hold up?

What's the problem?

What's to understand about a bunch of guys...

When Shingo died...

When you fight, my spirit fights with you.

Where the hell have you been?

Where's Dux?

Where's Mr. Dux?

Who are Helmer and Rawlins?

Who have to prove themselves by beating each other up?

Who is your friend?

Who the hell are these two scumbags?

Who the hell's Mr. Lin?

Why are you fighting in it?

Why are you so interested in stopping the kumite?

Why is it that no one will talk about the kumite?

Why were you with Hussein?

Why?

Worse.

Would face each other in full contact...

Yeah, kicked the poor bastard right in the throat.

Yeah, you'll be out of here in a week.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, but what do you mean by martial science?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, that's right. I work at the Verne vineyard.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes. Hong Kong is an exciting city.

Yo, Frankie!

You agree to have dinner with me tomorrow night.

You and Jackson don't tell me nothing.

You are in Hong Kong.

You are lucky you have a head like a rock.

You are next.

You are not Japanese! You are not a Tanaka!

You break my record, now I break you.

You can almost smell the adrenaline in this place, can't you?

You can make history here today.

You can really love Asians because we're good looking.

You can step onto the runway and not get killed.

You cannot get katana sword by stealing.

You check that out?

You coming or what?

You didn't flinch. You have fighting spirit.

You don't look like Tanaka.

You don't understand.

You got it!

You got it?

You gotta tell them to kill it first.

You guys are driving me crazy!

You guys are out of your minds!

You guys here for the finals?

You have a chance to take it all tomorrow. Do you understand?

You have the wrong picture.

You hold this.

You just going to stand there, or are you going to grab something?

You just stay put, okay?

You know where to reach us.

You lose, American asshole.

You must earn it.

You okay?

You should ask for forks.

You shouldn't have come in the first place.

You son of a bitch.

You sure you want to do this?

You taught me using any technique that works...

You telling me you never break rules?

You think that's what he wants, someone to share a room with?

You two are here for the kumite, aren't you?

You use science to make vines grow better.

You want me to spell it out for you?

You want to prove your manhood to the world?

You'd better stop doing that stuff.

You'll come upstairs with me for an interview.

You're always late!

You're blowing it, Frank.

You're not even trying to understand what this means to us, are you?

You're not gonna call the cops?

You're really being a hard ass about this.

Can we stop this? Okay, Frank, you win.

Do you gamble? What is bet?

Good stuff, Jackson. Thanks.

Good. Thanks.

If it's too much trouble, forget it... Inspector...

It sounds wild. You'd have to see it to believe it.

It's about fucking time! Sorry.

Look, guys, let's all calm down, okay? No.

No. Then get in here.

Put these on and I won't have to use it. It's your last warning.

Too late. Too late?

When was that? Two days ago.

Why are you a reporter? What does that have to do with it?

You like this kind of fighting? Yeah.

You ready? Yeah.

You want to go at it again, huh? Yeah.
