Bloodsport Page #2

if Bruce Springsteen is his Shidoshi?

If Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi...

...then show us the dim mak.

What the hell is a dim mak?

Death touch.

Thanks.

Vic, choose a brick.

Okay, Frank.

What about this one?

No!

Bottom one.

Son of a b*tch!

Is that good enough, guys?

We honor your invitation.

No sh*t, you honor his invitation!

That was great.

Very good, but brick not hit back.

Here's a picture

of the man we're looking for.

His name is Frank Dux.

We have reason to believe

Frank is here in Hong Kong.

His name was on a list...

...on a flight from San Francisco

two days ago.

Two days ago?

Maybe he already left,

went somewhere else.

Asia's a very big place, you know.

We were hoping

you'd hold onto this for reference.

We're here because Frank is

fighting in the kumite...

...and we're here to stop him.

The kumite?

Yes.

Inspector Chen...

...we all know the kumite

is happening here in Hong Kong.

And we all know it's going on

over the next three days.

All we want you to do is

pass this picture out to your men.

If they spot Dux,

they give us a call at our hotel. Simple.

My men already overworked.

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

- Inspector...

We're all overworked,

but we need your help.

I'll see what can be done.

You know where to reach us.

You'll come upstairs with me

for an interview.

Like hell! Let go of me.

You want Hussein, no?

No. Hussein is an a**hole.

What did you call me?

You want me to spell it out for you?

Leave the girl alone.

He is the American shithead

who makes tricks with bricks.

Guess the kumite starts

one day earlier this year, huh?

- Look, guys, let's all calm down, okay?

- No.

She is coming with me upstairs.

No, I'm not.

If we have to fight for her...

...then both of us will

be thrown out of the kumite.

Just for her?

We could arrange this another way.

- Do you gamble?

- What is bet?

You hold this.

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

...I get the girl.

If I cannot...

...she's yours.

Very good.

What? You can't do this!

Just relax.

Take it.

Geez, Frankie,

I hope you know what you're doing.

Ready?

Go.

You lose, American a**hole.

Looks like she's mine.

Now leave the lady alone.

You understand that?

Why were you with Hussein?

I've been trying

to get a story on the kumite.

I'm a reporter.

He tell you anything?

He told me I had nice legs.

He's right about that.

Why is it that no one

will talk about the kumite?

What is this air of mystery?

I'm just trying to find out

what it's all about.

Why are you fighting in it?

It's personal.

You want to prove

your manhood to the world?

The kumite is for the fighters,

not for the people who read newspapers.

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

...like a cockfight, except it's with people.

You have the wrong picture.

Well, you tell me about it then.

I want to have the right picture.

Okay, I'll talk to you, but one condition.

What's that?

You agree to have dinner with me

tomorrow night.

Well, actually, I was hoping

Hussein would be free.

That hurts me, just looking at it.

Yo, Frankie!

Earth to Frankie.

This is ground control. Do you copy?

It's time to get ready.

You'd better stop doing that stuff.

You might want to have kids

one of these days.

Victor's downstairs.

Kumite Express leaves in five minutes.

Are you ready?

I am ready.

You can almost smell the adrenaline

in this place, can't you?

Yeah.

They are gonna love me over here.

You can really love Asians

because we're good-looking.

Welcome, warriors of the world.

Today you become part of a tradition...

...that began hundreds of years ago.

The kumite was first used

by the Kokuryukai...

...the Black Dragon Society...

...to measure the fighting skills and spirit...

...of its members.

Every five years,

the best fighters in its ranks...

...would face each other in full-contact...

...with one winner emerging

as the superior warrior...

...the champion.

The Kokuryukai has been joined...

...by the International

Fighting Arts Association...

...as co-sponsor for this event...

...and as the guardians

of a rich and powerful heritage.

After three days...

...one fighter will prove himself

to be the best.

May the mightiest warrior prevail!

Now, remember, it's full-contact.

There are three ways to win.

One, you knock the guy out.

Two, your opponent quits

and shouts, "matte."

It's like saying uncle.

Three, you throw the f***er

right off the runway.

Piece of cake.

Haji!

Hajime!

That's why they call

this thing "bloodsport," kid.

Watch this, Frankie.

I'll show you how it's done, buddy.

Haji!

A**hole.

Hajime!

Come on, get up! Come on!

I'm going to kill you, man!

You got it!

Frankie!

Look at him, buddy. Yeah!

You check that out?

- Good stuff, Jackson.

- Thanks.

But what took you so long?

Funny. Real funny.

Chong Li! Chong Li! Chong Li!

What's going on?

That's Chong Li, the current champ.

He's never been defeated.

Holds all the records,

including the fastest KO.

He killed a guy during the last kumite.

Yeah, kicked the poor bastard

right in the throat.

Guy died right there on the platform.

Chong Li stood there and watched him die.

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

Chong Li! Chong Li! Chong Li!

Now I show you some trick or two.

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

Fastest I ever saw!

His first fight in the kumite,

he broke the f***ing world record!

My buddy!

Junbi!

Haji!

Hajime!

Go home!

This is real good stuff.

How's your eel, as good as mine?

I don't know, I haven't tasted it yet.

You gotta tell them to kill it first.

You should ask for forks.

Inspector Chen.

What a pleasant surprise. Please join us.

No. I never eat here.

I found some information for you.

What is it, Inspector?

Frank Dux is at the East Lake Hotel

in Kowloon.

Thank you.

Hey, have some eel.

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

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

Only when the kumite is over.

Who the hell are these two scumbags?

Just stay out of it, pal.

It's not your business, okay?

I ain't your pal, dickface.

Look, Frank...

...the government has invested

a lot of time and money in you.

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

I won't get hurt.

That's why we're here,

to make sure of that.

Don't make it tough on us.

I'll be in the airport in two days.

That's not good enough.

Frank, read my lips.

We are taking you back now.

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

Excuse me.

You want to sh*t sparks?

You just stay put, okay?

Stay put.

All those different fighters in one event.

- It sounds wild.

- You'd have to see it to believe it.

Come on, Frank.

Couldn't you just get me in?

I really want this story.

It would mean so much to me.

They have strict rules. No press.

I bet we could think of something.

I doubt it.

You telling me you never break rules?

What do you mean?

Who are Helmer and Rawlins?

Just friends. Why?

They must be very close friends.

They've been inquiring about you

all over Hong Kong.
