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 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.
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 shit 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
