she's mine. Now leave the lady alone. You understand that? Why were you with Hossein? 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 manood 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 Hossein 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-Iooking. 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 fucker 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! Asshole. 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 fucking 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.
