hold up?
He says Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi.
What's the difference
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 bitch!
Is that good enough, guys?
We honor your invitation.
No shit, 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 asshole.
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 asshole.
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
