find himself
in the middle of World War III.
(Armstrong) So what about the Lion?
One of the most powerful
drug dealers in the world.
- Everybody knows it.
- And your father?
My mother died of cancer,
and my father's a scientist.
After she died, he clung to this dream.
He was going to find a cure for cancer.
He sold everything, bought the island
and set up a research laboratory.
He worked hard. The British and American
governments invested money.
Everything was going so well. Dad was
on the verge of a big breakthrough and...
Well, they simply withdrew.
Dad was devastated.
I was away at school at that time.
When Dad called me...
Anyway, then the Lion turned up
and he offered Dad money, lots,
enough to finish his project.
Dad jumped at the chance,
didn't ask questions.
He was so close to finding his cure.
The Lion had other ideas,
and instead of finding his cure for cancer,
Dad ended up producing
these attacking monsters, these ninjas.
Producing?
Something to do with
biological engineering.
Reorganising a person's genetic code.
They used those marines
for their experiments.
And you? Where do you fit into all this?
Bait. As long as they've got me,
they can blackmail my father.
If they harm me,
he'll stop working for them.
They won't let me near him, though,
in case I try to influence him.
I guess we'd better see what we can
do about it, huh? Come on, let's go.
The ambassador won't give us permission
to go in until he hears from Washington.
That'll take another year.
What are we going to do?
Apparently, the governor
won't let us visit the island.
(Wild Bill) We got a tricky
political situation.
We got political red tape, Captain.
You heard Toto.
Joe and Alicia are stuck in that island.
They'll have to improvise
till we get the go-ahead.
I'm sorry, but that's not good enough.
Years ago, we started out on the streets,
low-down and dirty.
We soon realised
to have it all, to really nail it down,
we had to control the source.
So we moved out into the jungles.
We took over the plantations and factories,
until we built the biggest drug empire
the world has ever known.
But success brings jealousy,
and we laid out millions with pay-offs,
but the greed only grew.
So you came to me and you asked me
to find a foolproof way
to protect ourselves and our investment.
So, with the help
of Professor Sanborn here,
I think I've achieved that objective.
So there you are,
the super ninja,
the ultimate fighting machine.
Strong, obedient,
heartless,
and as many of them as we want.
Enjoy yourselves now,
and let's see what they can do.
It's this way. Come on.
This is it.
Where do they make these things?
At the far end of the complex.
It's on the third floor.
(whispers) Wait here.
(Ninja) Ssh.
What's the matter?
How d'you make them, Leo?
What are they?
Miracles of genetic engineering.
Professor Sanborn
will show us how it's done.
Right, Professor?
If we wait for the ambassador,
it's gonna be too late.
- Watch your mouth.
- Chill out, motor mouth.
This unit's lost five marines.
Do you wanna lose Joe and the girl?
No, I thought not. I'm boogieing, baby.
Anyone coming with me?
(Alicia) This is it.
(gasps) It's my father.
He looks sick.
Gentlemen, this is it.
Professor, we're all ears.
These flasks contain frozen cells
in a solution of amino acids.
What are those men doing?
Microinjecting DNA hereditary information
into a single cell.
By this method, we can control
the building blocks of life.
We can make the human being
anything we want it to be.
He keeps most of what's left
of his human intelligence,
but his knowledge of attack and survival
He will be cunning, intelligent and devious,
like a predatory tiger.
He will feel no pain
and know no emotion but hate.
His muscles and sinews will be replaced
with the strongest, lightest,
high-tensile steel known to man.
He will run faster
than the
