Kill and Kill Again (1981) Movie Script
- We have assembled once
more here at Sun City
to bestow our most honored
award, as judged by the
greatest, and most knowledgeable
exponents of the art.
This award for outstanding
merit, for outstanding
achievement in both physical
and mental coordination
will now be presented
to the one person
deserving of its symbol.
It will be of little
surprise to you all
to learn the name of
this year's winner.
A man known to us all for
his remarkable, his amazing
innovations in this, the
highest of all the arts.
Now I ask you ladies and
gentlemen to please join us
in toasting our guest of honor.
Holder of eight world
titles in marshal arts,
four times world
champion, and new record,
Mr. Steve--
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Steve Chase.
Why that's Steve Chase.
- I really hate these affairs.
- What kind of
affairs do you like?
The kind you
are certainly suited for.
- Mr. Chase, you saved me from
a most embarrassing scene.
- Just look what you
have done, monsieur.
- Send the bill to my suite.
- To mine please, I insist.
Those men assaulted me, and
if it weren't for Mr. Chase--
- This soiree was the
piece de resistance,
Mr. Chase shall get the bill.
You set that up, Miss Kane.
- How do you know my name?
- I got it from
the hotel register.
Kandy Kane with a K.
- Well, I had to see for myself
how good you really were.
Shall we continue our
conversation in your suite?
- I don't have a suite.
- But, but the
maitre d' said that--
- He'll be as
surprised as you are.
Your suite?
- Perhaps you'd like to hear
a word or two from Mr. Chase.
- Thank you very much.
Imported.
My one weakness.
- Everybody should
have at least one.
I have other weaknesses
that come first, Miss Kane.
- Please call me Kandy.
- Sounds delicious.
Related to the missing
Nobel Prize winning chemist
Dr. Horatio Kane.
He's my father.
- Been missing two
months I believe.
- Not just missing,
kidnapped in fact.
- Somebody else
must be interested.
This'll give them
somethin' to listen to.
- Ah!
- Has there been a
ransom note or anything?
- My father has been
working for several years
on a project to extract
fuel from potatoes.
One year's crop can
provide enough gasoline
to drive every car in
the world to the moon.
- Solve the parking problem.
Mr. Chase this
is no laughing matter.
- You mean to tell me the
good doctor was kidnapped
because of potatoes?
- During his research, my
father accidentally discovered
there was a by-product.
An incredible new mind
control drug that enables
whoever administers it to
bend people to his will.
- Room service,
champagne for the lady.
- I've already received it.
- This one's complements
of the house.
- Must've been domestic.
Is he one of yours
or one of theirs?
- Steve no, these
gentlemen are here
to help me rescue my father.
- It's for the
good of the world.
- We want to stop this terrible
drug from spreading further.
- My father's held in a
village in the mountains.
The whole town is under
control of the drug.
- If the army went in it'd
be killed, is that it?
- The whole world is
at stake in effect.
- It'll be expensive.
- Oh we are men of
considerable means.
Shall we say two
million, plus expenses?
- Five million.
I'll pick up my own expenses.
- It's a deal.
- I'll need help.
Four good men I can rely on.
- Anybody you choose.
- I know you and
I can rescue him.
- One more condition.
The girl stays here.
- Cous.
- Sensei Steve,
welcome, can we help?
- I'm looking for The Fly.
- I would suggest you
see Sensei Tonaca,
the master of masters.
- Tonaca Sensei.
I'm here to see The Fly.
- He has found satori.
- You mean he knows
I'm searching for him?
- Yes.
- I must find him, sensei.
- Be careful.
- You won't come.
- Your outer eye sees clearly.
- You must be tired
of playing games.
- Your inner eye
is equally aware.
- This time the game is serious.
- I know, it's a game
between tigers and dragons.
A game in which both
sides bleed, profusely.
Ready.
Ready.
Pull together.
- Go on Gorilla, put
him in a headlock.
Go on, go, go, you can do it.
- Steve Chase, you son of a gun.
That ain't funny,
what's the big idea?
- That color really
suits you, you know that?
I'm got a job for you.
- I already got a job.
- Yeah but this is
kinda more in your line.
- I've got a good
thing going now.
And since they banned
me from pro wrestling.
- Banned you?
- Yeah, every time I beat
a guy, I bite his ear off.
I just couldn't help it.
- Some how Gorilla, I just
can't imagine you spending
the rest of your life
on a construction crew.
- Oh I'm trying to get some
money to get me back to Jamaica.
And besides, it has got,
what do you call it?
- Security?
- Yeah, that's the word.
- Yeah, but I never thought
I'd hear you say it.
- I didn't, you did.
- Hey, coffee break's over.
Playin' games with half my crew.
Get back to work
or you're fired.
- You wouldn't have the guts.
Oh I wouldn't huh, you're fired.
- You can't fire
me, I just quit.
- I fired you first.
I quit first.
- I fired you first.
- Come again.
- You quit first, sir.
- Ah, my old buddy!
Say, the color suits you too.
- Hey.
- Huh?
- You know where I can find
a guy named Gypsy Billy?
- What do I look like,
the yellow pages?
Past that truck, first
alley on the left.
- Gypsy, Gypsy Billy.
Hey Gyp, come on Gyp,
I know you're in there.
It's me, Steve.
I need your help.
- Go away, I'm retired.
- Come on Gyp, this
is a chance for you
to get back on your feet.
- A mission?
- The biggest yet.
- Naw.
- Come on Gyp.
- Oh!
Ah, it wouldn't work.
I couldn't help a one-legged
widow fall down the stairs.
- I'm not taking no for an
answer, you're coming with me.
- I'm not in shape
for any big mission.
- All you need to get back
into shape is a good bath.
- Okay Steve, okay,
but I'm warning you,
you're makin' a big mistake.
- It wouldn't be the first
time but I'll take the chance.
He's just left.
- Don't let the gate
hit you on the way out.
- Hey what about my
security deposit?
Two bucks, I gave you five.
- Took it out for damages.
- You gonna let him
get away with that?
- He's got the franchise.
- It's now or never, Gyp.
- Vampire you damn
thief, give me my dough.
- Let go of me.
- You heard me, my five bucks.
Thanks for the help.
- Did you really want help?
Nope.
- Our satellite took these
pictures of the town.
A place called Ironville.
- Your satellite?
- Anyone with enough money
and a charitable heart
can purchase a satellite
from NASA and program it
to photograph the earth.
- Naturally.
- Lights out please.
The drug subjects the user
to the will of one man.
- And if the user is mechanical,
the fuel gives 1000
miles to the gallon.
- All this from potatoes?
- Potato fuel has a great
advantage over fossil fuels.
- Every year more potatoes.
- Exactly, you've heard of
Wellington Forsyth the third,
haven't you?
- Billionaire that dropped
out of sight years ago.
- Supposedly lost on an
archeological expedition.
He calls himself Marduk now,
after the Babylonian God.
He's managed to attract an
impressive number of followers
and uh, well thanks to Kandy's
father and his discovery,
he now holds the entire
city under his control.
Including Dr. Kane himself.
You know where
they're holding him?
- He's in there, he's
Marduk's prisoner.
We must get dad out of
there before the government
tries a desperate rescue
attempt and fails.
- You wanna stop anyone
from gettin' the formula.
- It's debatable who
will use the formula
for more evil ends, our
government or Marduk.
How did you
get these shots of him?
Marduk has
a weakness for pretty girls.
One of our lady operatives is
a photographer in his camp.
- How do we get to Ironville?
- Our private jet will take
you as close as possible,
then you use the back roads.
Marduk has spies everywhere.
Now we prepared a map.
Some of the dirt roads may
be difficult to follow,
but you should get
there unnoticed.
- You must be prepared for
anything, Marduk is very shrewd.
- Steve, this is
gonna be a tough job.
I think we should recruit
Hotdog with his bag of tricks.
- And Mr. Chase, we
urge you to take Kandy.
She can be an invaluable asset.
- Look upon it as our way of
ensuring that our investment
carries out his side
of the contract.
- Sorry gentlemen, we're
going in without women.
It's Marduk and me.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Congratulations, once
again my loyal warrior,
you have proved yourself
to be the Optimus,
the best of the best.
Dedicated to our eternal quest
for unparalleled perfection.
And so shall you remain,
until one even better
can vanquish you.
- Honey child.
What is it, Minerva?
- I have news, angel face.
- What news?
And I wish you wouldn't
all me those names.
At least not in
front of the ladies.
- The ladies?
He's coming, they convinced him.
- Wonderful.
At last, a real challenge
for the Optimus.
If Mr. Steve Chase survives.
- And now for the bad news.
It's the doctor, he
says he must see you.
- How presumptuous of him.
Dr. Kane is summoning me?
- At once, he says.
- I summon people to
me, they come to me.
- He's out of
control honeysuckle,
I think the drug's worn off.
- He may need reinforcement,
take me to him.
Marduk.
Marduk.
Marduk.
Marduk.
- What's all this nonsense
about you're summoning me?
- I know Marduk,
it was on the news.
I'm not here of my own free
will, I've been kidnapped.
Why did you kidnap me?
- I assure you Dr. Kane,
your fears are groundless.
Pure paranoid postulation.
I invited you here for
the good of mankind.
This community is a
model for a new society,
a perfect civilization that will
one day cover the
face of the earth.
As soon as the drug is ready
for oral application, remember?
- You want to introduce the drug
into the world's water supplies?
I must help you rule the world?
- When will Operation
Water Supply commence?
- In five days.
- My patience is running out,
injections are too clumsy.
- It will be ready,
I assure you.
- See that this citizen
receives reinforcement
every five days
instead of weekly.
There's something
terribly wrong here.
We don't know how long
he's had a free will.
Move him and the
lab immediately,
and search the
place top to bottom.
- We'll turn it upside
down, buttercup.
- Okay round number
six, place your bets.
Round number six,
okay round number six.
Place your bets gentlemen
please, place your bets.
Last of the big time spenders
all under one roof.
Round number six.
You guys ready?
- Oh, leap!
- That's our Hotdog.
- I'm not ready to die yet.
Then you're
not ready to live, turkey.
Okay, round number seven.
Last one to chicken
out gets it all.
Place your bets gentlemen
please, place your bets.
Nobody move.
- Hasn't changed a bit.
- Round number
eight, come on fellas
let's see some more
of the green stuff.
Place your bets.
Ah, ah, ah.
Hotdog.
Round number eight.
- Got my leg, help me.
Wait til, wait til I'm out.
Wait, wait til I'm out.
- Steve.
Steve baby.
- How you doin' buddy?
- Gypsy.
Gorilla.
Hey you guys go on without
me, I got business.
Well, the old gang
together again.
I never believed
it would happen.
All right, round number nine--
- Yeah but where's The Fly?
Hell The Fly's missing.
- Do you know where he might be?
- Huh, oh no now
wait a minute Steve,
are you assembling again?
Well count me out, kid, far out.
You're too dangerous.
Look out, will ya?
- Hey you guys, I
passed this one.
You're only allowed
to shoot each other.
It's damn hard to teach
these guys a new game.
- Hey, are you gonna
come with us or not?
- Well actually Steve I'm
a little busy right now,
I gotta couple of numbers to.
- Hotdog, you are
coming with us.
- Easy buddy, you're
always on pins and needles.
Well?
- Well, since you love me so
much, what are we waiting for?
- That's better.
Okay guys, round number 10.
Chip in or ship out.
You got nothin' to
lose except your life.
Hors d'oeuvres sir?
- What are those for?
Something for you sir?
- No thanks.
Oh you'll see,
might come in handy.
Hors d'oeuvres?
- So, what about The Fly?
- We're goin' in without him.
You're kidding?
Look, he's achieved satori
and doesn't wanna join us.
I've given up chasing ghosts.
- Hey come on, that's
not our style, Steve.
Either we go in as a team or
we don't go at all, right?
- Don't get exited.
- Who's excited?
Just because you're eight
times world champion--
- Four times.
Hey hold your horses, will ya?
I'm holding mine.
Hey man what're you
doin', are you crazy?
I can't believe
this, damn animal.
I'm gonna quit
this stinkin' job.
- Sir, what are you doing?
- I couldn't wait any longer.
- Please excuse him, ma'am.
He's never flown in
an airplane before.
- Oh I thought maybe
he'd never been
let out of the zoo before.
- Well actually we
bribed his keeper.
- Steve.
- Hi sweetheart, you included
in the price of the ticket?
- What are you doing here?
I thought I told you the four
of us are going in alone.
- It's our plane, our money.
I'm entitled to come
along if I want to.
- You're really
cute, you know that?
Look, I accepted this job
subject to certain conditions.
So I'm turning this plane
around and it's your choice
who gets off at the other end.
- Listen Steve Chase,
I'm here for a reason.
I know where you
could find The Fly.
I can't make him come along
but I can take you to him.
Possibly he'll listen to you.
But I must, I wanna
see my father.
- Oh come on Steve,
she's already on board,
you can't send her back now.
- Okay Duchess, let's
see how smart you are.
Lead us to The Fly.
- Welcome Steve, I
was expecting you.
Sit.
- I know you see me,
but do you hear me, Fly?
Okay, come on Fly,
I need your feet.
There are many
lives at stake here.
- For this mission, feet
alone are insufficient.
The mind that leads the
feet needs to be wise.
- Another one of
your games, Fly?
- Perhaps only a game of
illusion, perhaps real.
Can you match me?
A true leader finds a
way around any obstacle.
I'm sorry, I cannot follow you.
How did you manage
this illusion?
- What illusion, Fly?
- You lead, I'll come.
- Okay everybody,
let's take a break.
- Question, why is the soft
lady traveling with warriors?
- To sew holes in the socks.
- Hey you guys, she oughta be
sitting in the back, not me.
- Hotdog, where
is your sense of,
what's the word, Steve?
- Chivalry?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, look who's talking,
Captain Midnight
who sits up front.
- Ah-ah.
- Don't worry gentlemen,
I can hold my own.
- In any case Kandy, I better
teach you some of the basics.
Right after you
prepare breakfast.
- Martial arts are
built on tradition,
which the trained warrior
must learn to master
just as the physician
masters his skill.
And if the student is
instilled with the forms
and techniques, he learns to
break the chains of tradition.
Marduk.
- Martial arts must
first be graceful,
elegant.
And only then
can they be
potent.
The student begins
to become one
with the spirit of his art.
Lending a new creativity
to his every movement.
- Thus he acquires
the new freedom.
A transcendence of the physical
and intellectual being.
- No wasted motion.
No wasted energy.
Every flick of the finger
must have a meaning.
Every step.
Every breath.
Even the slightest
flick of the head.
Then there's the
element of surprise.
I should've known.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
Supervised recreation
periods will henceforth be of
1/2 hour duration on alternate
days only, that is all.
- Operation Intercept
has been activated.
- Marvelous, the first test
for the great Steve Chase.
- Leave it to us, pumpkin pie.
- You must learn to stop
calling me these names, Minerva.
- Oh, you're absolutely
right, chuckles.
- Chuckles, chuckles, ah-ha,
chuckles, chuckles, ah-ha.
- Sure sounds like
a rough joint.
Let's take a look inside you
guys, we might learn something.
Okay Steve.
- And hey, keep your eyes open.
House of merriment
usually breeds trouble.
- Hey friend, do you know
of a place around here
called Ironville?
- Don't believe we've met.
- As a matter of
fact we haven't,
we're kinda new around here.
- How come you called me friend?
- Seemed like a friendly
kinda thing to say.
- Around here, it's
only our friends
that're allowed
to call us friend.
- Then how about hey, you
know of a place around here
called Ironville?
- Hotdog.
- I'd like to buy
everybody a drink.
Ooh!
- I'd like to buy you a drink.
I'm gettin' outta here.
- I'm feeling extra
generous today,
I'd like to buy
you another drink.
Oh-wee.
- Ironville, friends,
isn't signposted.
Just take the road into the
mountains and you'll hit it.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
Group seven report
for reinforcement
therapy in 1/2 hour.
Due to reduced productivity,
group 11 will be on
short rations for the
remainder of the week.
Those are the orders
of the great Marduk.
That is all.
- Hey you, come here.
Documents.
Says here you're
with group eight.
- Yes.
Why aren't you with 'em?
- I've been sent on an errand.
- Without a class A permit?
- I have a class A permit.
It's not here.
- I must've lost it.
- That's against the rules.
I'll let you go this time--
- No you won't.
No class A permit allowing
him to venture forth
separated from his group.
You must of course
be disciplined.
- Of course.
- Report directly to
the holding center.
Tell them that you
are to serve one week
solitaries on zita rations.
- Yes sir.
- Infallible, perfect control.
As for you.
Next time you'll lose
your elite status.
What is it?
- Operation Intercept,
the fight in the bar.
Did we defeat them?
- No, they won.
- How close are they?
- Oh less than a day's travel.
- Effect plan B,
elite ground core,
and put all other
units on alert.
Operation Water Supply
begins in three days.
- Sure thing, dimples.
- Great work in that fight,
I was really impressed.
- Thanks.
- It's kinda curious, you know.
- What is?
- The way you handle yourself,
sorta like an expert.
- I wanna be prepared,
the same way you want
them to be prepared.
- Sure, but to us
it's a way of life.
- By the way I'm, I'm sorry.
- About what?
- Not telling you
that I could fight.
It's just, you never
really asked me.
- It's not exactly the kinda
question a guy asks a girl.
- You're not upset?
- No, as a matter of fact,
your stock just went
up a couple of points.
- Question, why is
soft lady making mush?
- There's nothing on the
map that looks like this.
It's almost as if
it had been changed.
- This crossroads looks like
it's been here for years.
Hey!
- What can I do for you folks?
- We seem to be lost.
You know anything about a town
up this way called Ironville?
- You mean used to
be called Ironville.
Got some strange new name now,
bunch of weirdos up there.
Don't let nobody around.
Why do you wanna know?
- Just interested, that's all.
- If you've any sense,
you'll stay interested
from a distance.
- Now I'm really interested.
- When I give advice, I
expect people to listen.
- Now my interest
is really peeked.
- Guess I'm not makin'
myself clear enough.
That's just a way
of saying please.
- That's just a way of
saying thanks but no thanks.
- A piece of cake.
- Oh!
Look who's on pins and
needles now.
- My elite ground
corps pulverized.
- Look at it this way
popsicle, you're getting closer
to seeing the Optimus
destroy Steve Chase.
That is if you can overcome
Operation Sky Dive.
- I know, I know, and
don't call me popsicle.
- Popsicle, popsicle, popsicle.
- I said don't call me popsicle.
- Never let yourself
forget the soul of karate.
Character, effort, sincerity,
etiquette, self-control.
Maintain concentration
at all times,
looking deep into
your own being.
As the master said,
to become a victor,
one must first be
victorious over oneself.
- Question, why are
eagles wearing umbrellas?
- It's amazing the lengths
Marduk's willing to go to
to keep outsiders away
from his experiment.
- At least we know
we're getting close.
- I will see you,
and raise one.
- I'll see you and raise five.
- I'm beginning to ask
myself why I came along
on this joyride.
- Why did you come
along, loyalty to Steve?
- You kiddin'?
I'll do anything for bucks.
- Yeah but somehow you
always seem to end up
on the side of the good guys.
- Works out that way.
- I'll raise you one again.
- Five more again.
- A beautiful site, but deadly.
Okay guys, here we go.
- Come on I've raised you five.
- Okay.
I'll go five more again.
- Five more on top of that.
- I'll raise you another two.
- I'll see you and
owe the kitty 20.
- Ah, all right, I'll
see you and I'll owe one
just for the hell of it.
- 20 more.
- Ah what the hell,
I'll owe one more.
- Another 20.
- Your 20, plus one.
- 50 more.
- 50 and I'll raise you two.
You ruined my cards, damn.
Where are my cards?
Well?
- Well, the jump was successful.
- But the fight,
how did we fare?
- Don't worry angel face,
we'll tie 'em up in knots.
- Thanks for the help.
- There were only 20 of them,
I didn't figure you needed help.
- Well at least we
know in which direction
the town is situated.
I watched the plane
after it made the drop.
- I never finished biddin'.
Guess we're gonna
replay the hand.
- Yeah, what did you have?
- A pair of threes.
- A pair of threes, is that all?
- Yeah, what did you have?
- A royal flush, the first
one in my whole life,
without cheating.
- Damn place gives
me the creeps.
It's enough to put you
off potatoes forever.
- It's too quiet to suit me.
- The animal trap lies
quietly before it springs.
- What do we do now?
We have to get inside the town
before they realize it.
Marduk must know we're here.
We have an advantage, he
doesn't know our plans.
- Neither do I.
- The first objective is
to get the doctor out.
Then we're going after Marduk.
We must destroy every
copy of the formula
and dispose of the drug.
- Why do I get this
feeling I'm not gonna
like it down there?
- Ah, maybe if ask real nice,
they'll give us the doctor.
- After dark we slip
inside in pairs.
Gorilla, you and Hotdog
are going together.
Gypsy Billy and The
Fly will be the B team.
I'm going alone.
- What about me?
- You wait here.
- He's my father, you'll not
leave me out of the action.
- Someone has to stay behind
and look after the vehicle.
It's our only means of escape
after the mission's
been accomplished.
And you Kandy Kane with a K
have been officially elected.
- Hey with all Marduk's
checkpoints, how
do we get around?
- The guards are the only ones
who can move around freely.
Pick out one your size
and take his place.
- What then?
- I'll make my way to the lab
where the doctor's being held.
We'll meet in the
back of the building
and plan the final
assault from there.
Good luck.
- I want you to know, I don't
appreciate being left behind.
- I've been hired to do a
job, we'll do it my way.
Who's there?
What's goin' on down there?
- Hey, hey somebody,
open up over here.
Who's there?
- I've brought some
new weapons for Marduk.
Come on you guys,
come take a look.
Come on.
You guys are not
gonna believe this.
Told you so.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
The great, the immortal Marduk
desires to speak to you.
My people, it has
been a great disappointment
to me of late to
learn of the lessening
in general productivity.
It seems we are not
using our work hours
to maximum advantage.
The reasons for
this are unclear,
but I cannot believe the
problem is one of discipline
or a lack of enthusiasm.
Therefore, I have no
choice but to increase
the number of work hours and
decrease recreational time.
This is not a punishment, but
rather a remedial measure.
That is all.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
The imminent launching
of Operation Water Supply
calls for new scheduling.
Groups one through five will
report for weekly reinforcement
therapy one hour
earlier than usual.
All other groups will report
one hour later than usual.
Free activity periods
are to be suspended
until further notice.
That is all.
- Watch what you're
doin' citizen.
- I'm not your citizen.
- Drugs worn off, prepare
a reinforcement injection.
No, no, you're
not gonna get me with that.
No, no.
No.
Stop, stop, you
don't understand.
- Back to work, citizen.
Oh what, what?
- What are you
doing here, alien?
- I belong to Marduk's
undercover force.
- Where are your documents?
- I have them right here.
The rest of you ding-a-lings
get in line and come here.
Ya!
I thought I told you
to stay with the car.
- I've got every
right to be here.
Where's my dad?
- He's been moved,
we must find him.
Stick with me.
- Hey shut up will ya?
- I can't help it if
he wasn't my size.
- There you go on a tear again,
what are you tryin'
to do get us caught?
- Stop moaning.
- Rip off artist.
- Great, just great.
I'm sure you'll make
it to the top 10
on Marduk's fashion parade.
You seen the others?
- Not a sign.
Kandy I'd better get you
some clothes, and fast.
Hang on.
- The doctor's not in the
laboratory, he's been moved.
Since you couldn't find
yourself a uniform,
get yourself into a work group
and try to discover where he is.
- Gotcha Steve.
- Okay Kandy, here you go,
here's some clothes for you.
What's the matter,
they too big for you?
I'll get you another one.
- No, no, no, it's just,
just perfect, thank you.
Thank you very much
indeed, Hotdog.
- Come on, Marduk's
about to get his
water supply
operation under way.
Kandy, go get these clothes
on, we'll wait for you.
- Documents, on the double.
- Oh yeah, you.
- You guys scared
the hell out of me.
- The doctor's been moved, we
have to find out where he is.
Otherwise--
What's going on here?
- There's more traffic
here than on Times Square
on a Saturday night.
We found this female
citizen roaming around.
- What are you
doing here citizen?
- Obeying the wishes of
the great and wise Marduk.
- This citizen acts strange.
- I think I should take
her to see Dr. Kane
for special examination.
- Rubbish.
The doctor doesn't get
involved in such matters.
- Then perhaps I better take her
to the reinforcement
therapy center.
- You mean of course, the
control medical center.
- It's the same thing isn't it?
- Yes I suppose
you could say that.
- I think she should
see the doctor anyhow.
There's something
not quite in order.
I think he should look at her.
- You're not paid to think.
Marduk's orders are that
he's not to be disturbed.
The doctor has been moved.
- Why has he been moved?
Where to?
- He's still where
he was yesterday,
the second floor of the
control medical center.
- I'm taking her there
immediately, there's
something wrong.
- You're right alien,
something is wrong.
You're all coming with me.
- Let's go, let's take
this citizen to her father.
Where'd you come from?
- Looks like you know
where you're going,
so I thought I would join you.
- Only a gorilla would
look for trouble.
We found out
where the doctor is,
we're going in after him.
- This area's off limits,
what are you doing here?
- We're taking these
citizens to the doctor
for special examination.
- I have no orders for
special examinations.
Let's go see what the captain
has to say about this.
- I knew I shoulda stayed
in bed this morning.
- We'll have to do
it the hard way,
take them first chance you get.
- Quiet, no talking.
Step on it, come on, move on.
Have your sleeves rolled up.
- So we meet again, alien.
I thought I might find you here.
- We must be losing our touch.
Usually when we hit
somebody they stay hit.
- Well we won't have to
worry about that much longer.
Technician, bring
six injections.
Welcome to
New Babylonia, Mr. Chase.
- I never thought I'd
be happy to see you.
- Rest assured, you won't be.
These aliens are
not to be injected.
I have far greater
plans for Mr. Chase.
Guards!
Everybody freeze.
I will not be deprived of
my pleasure, Mr. Chase.
As you must know by now,
these are my warriors.
The elite of the elite.
One day when I have
fulfilled my mission,
these people will
replace the guards.
Ordinary weapons
will be obsolete.
These are to be the upper class,
those individuals
superior in every way.
Physically, intellectually,
spiritually,
and emotionally.
- With freedom of
choice eliminated.
- Freedom of choice, as
we have come to know it,
has lead inexorably
to the deterioration
of the ethical and
moral fabric of society.
Even as we speak,
the new oral serum
is being readied for shipment.
Discipline is the keystone
to a successful society
and is effective only
when the people understand
it is a necessity for
their own survival.
- And the doctor's drug
ensures their understanding?
- Practically speaking yes.
In a very short time,
the entire world
will be brought
under my control.
- And just where
do I fit in to this
perfect world you're creating?
- Amongst the elite
there is always one
who stands out above all others.
The Optimus.
It is an obsession with me
that he be not only the best
in this community, but the
best of the entire world.
That means he must beat
you in open combat.
- And if I refuse to fight?
- That will be tragic.
You would of course have to die.
- Compelling argument.
Steve Chase I'd like you to meet
Dr. Horacio Kane.
- How do you do, Dr. Kane?
Dr. Kane?
You've drugged him.
- Naturally.
We couldn't have
him inventing things
that might be harmful
to New Babylonia
now could we Mr. Chase?
- And he's another example of
your happy peaceful citizens.
- Of course he's happy.
You may talk to Mr.
Chase now Dr. Kane.
Tell him how happy you are.
- I am very happy.
- What's going on here?
- I caught blondie
here taking photographs
of the serum vats.
I suspected for a long
time that she was an alien.
- It's not true, Marduk.
You must record your
triumph for history.
- What a shame that one so
beautiful can be so deceitful.
You realize of course
that you've lost
your elite status, my dear.
You must have her
interrogated immediately.
We don't know how
much the aliens know.
- Enough to cause them
to blow New Babylonia
right off the map I'm afraid.
- You're wrong Mr. Chase,
that's exactly what
they'd never do.
They want that drug
as much as I do.
- So you're Steve Chase.
Hm, not bad.
- Has anybody ever suggested
you change your hairdresser?
- Enough of this nonsense.
You'll have to excuse
me a moment Mr. Chase.
Oh and please bear in mind, in
case you get any funny ideas,
these guards will be waiting
right outside this door.
How long were you there?
- A classic case of paranoia.
He won't feel safe til he's got
the whole world at his feet.
How long have you
had this camera?
- I was only taking pictures.
- You're not drugged.
Where is the camera?
- No, in my case the drug
wears off in two days.
Marduk has no idea.
What were you
doing in the serum vats?
- I was taking pictures.
- There in the serum
vats with your camera,
what were you
taking pictures of?
When were you there?
- That makes my
job a lot easier.
- Your job?
Who are you?
- Your daughter hired
me to help you escape.
- That only presents
one problem, Mr. Chase.
- What's that?
- My daughter is here, already
one of Marduk's victims.
- The puzzle's all
coming together.
In any case, I have
to get you out of here
and destroy the serum.
- Maybe I can be of
some help to you there.
I've developed an antidote, in
both liquid and tablet form.
- All we have to
do is get them into
the hands of the people.
- Into their stomachs you mean.
Here, take these
for your protection.
- When were you there?
- We haven't much time.
Marduk has already poured the
serum into the water supply.
The antidote must be inserted
into the contaminated water
within 24 hours
or it won't work.
- I think I know how.
Marduk.
Marduk.
- Citizens of New Babylonia,
today here we will
witness that the Optimus
is indeed the best.
The best in the entire world.
- And what if Steve
Chase wins, dumpling?
- He will not win.
- It's no use, there's
no way out of here.
- There's always a way out.
- Hey Gorilla, you
wanna try these bars?
- Huh, can't figure it out.
Always works in the movies.
- Well, well, fancy
meeting you here.
- What's going on here?
- The bad news is Marduk's
gonna make us get out there
in the arena and
fight his people.
- My god, like gladiators.
- And the good news?
- I talked to Dr. Kane.
- How is he?
- Your father's just fine.
- Steve that's terrific.
- Sure terrific, and
what do we do now?
- I've got a plan.
Once we're out there in
the arena, stick with me.
- You can count on it.
- There's just one thing Miss
Kane, or whoever you are.
- There's no time now,
I'll have to explain later.
Please trust me.
- You stay here, the
rest come with us.
- Citizens, we have in our
midst several strangers,
who have come here to
cause us great harm.
We will prove today
in this arena,
that we are stronger
than these aliens.
They cannot and
will not destroy us.
Bring them in,
let the fun begin.
- We meet yet again.
Oh!
- This time you
won't be so lucky.
Oh!
Whoa.
Whoa.
- Hotdog.
Oh!
Whoa.
Oh!
Oh!
- They're making us
look like idiots.
- Don't worry, Steve Chase
has not yet met the Optimus.
- And what if Steve Chase wins?
- Then the inevitable
will happen.
I'll have to kill him.
Citizens, we will now bring
on the leader of these aliens.
The great Steve Chase, who is
going to battle the Optimus.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Oh!
Wow.
- Nice going, Steve.
- I knew you'd get him.
- You'll not deprive me
of my victory, Mr. Chase.
I shall have the last laugh yet.
- No, I am the Optimus, Marduk,
the champion of champions.
- You'll not be the Optimus
until you defeat them,
under my control.
Guard, bring a
drink for Mr. Chase.
You shall have the honor
of being the first person
in the entire world to
drink the new liquid serum.
It's either that, or immediate
death for all your friends.
Goodbye Steve Chase, and
welcome to my world, citizen.
- I am at your command.
- Those about you
are your enemies.
You shall kill them.
- Now tell them they're free.
All right, all right.
You are free.
I am no longer your master.
- From today on, New
Babylonia no longer exists.
From today on, New
Babylonia no longer exists.
- I am your enemy.
No.
- I am your enemy.
I am your enemy.
- You must destroy me.
You must destroy me.
Hey come on, let's go.
Please, save me.
- Kandy, Gorilla.
The rest, come with me.
Look out.
- They're going to get away.
- Not today little lady.
Wait here.
- You must get me out of here.
- I can't, he's too strong.
Let go.
- Let go, do you hear?
I Marduk command you.
- Command?
I think you're through
commanding anyone.
- He's right poopsie, it's
time to get out of here.
- You dare to dessert me?
Come back, it's our only chance.
Let go of
the end or we'll shoot.
Go on.
- No don't shoot, no!
No!
- You most definitely
should've listened
to the lady, poopsie.
- The formula Dr.
Kane or your life.
- The formula shall die with me.
- It's your choice.
Steve, the fighting is over,
the town has been
returned to the people.
- Hey Steve, you okay?
- Fine buddy.
- My daughter and I thank
you for all you've done.
- What about the serum?
- Nobody's gonna get it, I
destroyed all that's left of it.
- Yeah but you can't get the
formula out of your head.
- The formula doesn't matter,
I prepared plenty of antidote.
- Steve.
I must talk to you.
- Seems like you're the only
one things didn't work out for.
- Okay, so you found out
I'm a government agent.
- I suspected it all along.
Who else could afford to
pay me that much money
for my services?
- Then why did you come?
- To prevent anybody
from getting the drug.
- Steve, please believe me,
I've had enough of working
for the government.
- And I'll be
around to make sure
you don't change your mind.
- Hey you guys, look a here.
Found myself a love bird.
It's crazy about me.
Got room for one more?
Popsicle report,
ah-ha, popsicle report, ah-ha.
- You can still come with
us, we can squeeze you in.
- No, I better stay back
and see that the vats
in the lab are cleaned up.
- Okay, everybody in.
Hey, why doesn't somebody
else drive for a change?
- I'll drive.
- You're on.
Hotdog report.
- Oh no.
Hey slow down, slow down!
Slow down, will ya!
Watch that curb!
more here at Sun City
to bestow our most honored
award, as judged by the
greatest, and most knowledgeable
exponents of the art.
This award for outstanding
merit, for outstanding
achievement in both physical
and mental coordination
will now be presented
to the one person
deserving of its symbol.
It will be of little
surprise to you all
to learn the name of
this year's winner.
A man known to us all for
his remarkable, his amazing
innovations in this, the
highest of all the arts.
Now I ask you ladies and
gentlemen to please join us
in toasting our guest of honor.
Holder of eight world
titles in marshal arts,
four times world
champion, and new record,
Mr. Steve--
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Steve Chase.
Why that's Steve Chase.
- I really hate these affairs.
- What kind of
affairs do you like?
The kind you
are certainly suited for.
- Mr. Chase, you saved me from
a most embarrassing scene.
- Just look what you
have done, monsieur.
- Send the bill to my suite.
- To mine please, I insist.
Those men assaulted me, and
if it weren't for Mr. Chase--
- This soiree was the
piece de resistance,
Mr. Chase shall get the bill.
You set that up, Miss Kane.
- How do you know my name?
- I got it from
the hotel register.
Kandy Kane with a K.
- Well, I had to see for myself
how good you really were.
Shall we continue our
conversation in your suite?
- I don't have a suite.
- But, but the
maitre d' said that--
- He'll be as
surprised as you are.
Your suite?
- Perhaps you'd like to hear
a word or two from Mr. Chase.
- Thank you very much.
Imported.
My one weakness.
- Everybody should
have at least one.
I have other weaknesses
that come first, Miss Kane.
- Please call me Kandy.
- Sounds delicious.
Related to the missing
Nobel Prize winning chemist
Dr. Horatio Kane.
He's my father.
- Been missing two
months I believe.
- Not just missing,
kidnapped in fact.
- Somebody else
must be interested.
This'll give them
somethin' to listen to.
- Ah!
- Has there been a
ransom note or anything?
- My father has been
working for several years
on a project to extract
fuel from potatoes.
One year's crop can
provide enough gasoline
to drive every car in
the world to the moon.
- Solve the parking problem.
Mr. Chase this
is no laughing matter.
- You mean to tell me the
good doctor was kidnapped
because of potatoes?
- During his research, my
father accidentally discovered
there was a by-product.
An incredible new mind
control drug that enables
whoever administers it to
bend people to his will.
- Room service,
champagne for the lady.
- I've already received it.
- This one's complements
of the house.
- Must've been domestic.
Is he one of yours
or one of theirs?
- Steve no, these
gentlemen are here
to help me rescue my father.
- It's for the
good of the world.
- We want to stop this terrible
drug from spreading further.
- My father's held in a
village in the mountains.
The whole town is under
control of the drug.
- If the army went in it'd
be killed, is that it?
- The whole world is
at stake in effect.
- It'll be expensive.
- Oh we are men of
considerable means.
Shall we say two
million, plus expenses?
- Five million.
I'll pick up my own expenses.
- It's a deal.
- I'll need help.
Four good men I can rely on.
- Anybody you choose.
- I know you and
I can rescue him.
- One more condition.
The girl stays here.
- Cous.
- Sensei Steve,
welcome, can we help?
- I'm looking for The Fly.
- I would suggest you
see Sensei Tonaca,
the master of masters.
- Tonaca Sensei.
I'm here to see The Fly.
- He has found satori.
- You mean he knows
I'm searching for him?
- Yes.
- I must find him, sensei.
- Be careful.
- You won't come.
- Your outer eye sees clearly.
- You must be tired
of playing games.
- Your inner eye
is equally aware.
- This time the game is serious.
- I know, it's a game
between tigers and dragons.
A game in which both
sides bleed, profusely.
Ready.
Ready.
Pull together.
- Go on Gorilla, put
him in a headlock.
Go on, go, go, you can do it.
- Steve Chase, you son of a gun.
That ain't funny,
what's the big idea?
- That color really
suits you, you know that?
I'm got a job for you.
- I already got a job.
- Yeah but this is
kinda more in your line.
- I've got a good
thing going now.
And since they banned
me from pro wrestling.
- Banned you?
- Yeah, every time I beat
a guy, I bite his ear off.
I just couldn't help it.
- Some how Gorilla, I just
can't imagine you spending
the rest of your life
on a construction crew.
- Oh I'm trying to get some
money to get me back to Jamaica.
And besides, it has got,
what do you call it?
- Security?
- Yeah, that's the word.
- Yeah, but I never thought
I'd hear you say it.
- I didn't, you did.
- Hey, coffee break's over.
Playin' games with half my crew.
Get back to work
or you're fired.
- You wouldn't have the guts.
Oh I wouldn't huh, you're fired.
- You can't fire
me, I just quit.
- I fired you first.
I quit first.
- I fired you first.
- Come again.
- You quit first, sir.
- Ah, my old buddy!
Say, the color suits you too.
- Hey.
- Huh?
- You know where I can find
a guy named Gypsy Billy?
- What do I look like,
the yellow pages?
Past that truck, first
alley on the left.
- Gypsy, Gypsy Billy.
Hey Gyp, come on Gyp,
I know you're in there.
It's me, Steve.
I need your help.
- Go away, I'm retired.
- Come on Gyp, this
is a chance for you
to get back on your feet.
- A mission?
- The biggest yet.
- Naw.
- Come on Gyp.
- Oh!
Ah, it wouldn't work.
I couldn't help a one-legged
widow fall down the stairs.
- I'm not taking no for an
answer, you're coming with me.
- I'm not in shape
for any big mission.
- All you need to get back
into shape is a good bath.
- Okay Steve, okay,
but I'm warning you,
you're makin' a big mistake.
- It wouldn't be the first
time but I'll take the chance.
He's just left.
- Don't let the gate
hit you on the way out.
- Hey what about my
security deposit?
Two bucks, I gave you five.
- Took it out for damages.
- You gonna let him
get away with that?
- He's got the franchise.
- It's now or never, Gyp.
- Vampire you damn
thief, give me my dough.
- Let go of me.
- You heard me, my five bucks.
Thanks for the help.
- Did you really want help?
Nope.
- Our satellite took these
pictures of the town.
A place called Ironville.
- Your satellite?
- Anyone with enough money
and a charitable heart
can purchase a satellite
from NASA and program it
to photograph the earth.
- Naturally.
- Lights out please.
The drug subjects the user
to the will of one man.
- And if the user is mechanical,
the fuel gives 1000
miles to the gallon.
- All this from potatoes?
- Potato fuel has a great
advantage over fossil fuels.
- Every year more potatoes.
- Exactly, you've heard of
Wellington Forsyth the third,
haven't you?
- Billionaire that dropped
out of sight years ago.
- Supposedly lost on an
archeological expedition.
He calls himself Marduk now,
after the Babylonian God.
He's managed to attract an
impressive number of followers
and uh, well thanks to Kandy's
father and his discovery,
he now holds the entire
city under his control.
Including Dr. Kane himself.
You know where
they're holding him?
- He's in there, he's
Marduk's prisoner.
We must get dad out of
there before the government
tries a desperate rescue
attempt and fails.
- You wanna stop anyone
from gettin' the formula.
- It's debatable who
will use the formula
for more evil ends, our
government or Marduk.
How did you
get these shots of him?
Marduk has
a weakness for pretty girls.
One of our lady operatives is
a photographer in his camp.
- How do we get to Ironville?
- Our private jet will take
you as close as possible,
then you use the back roads.
Marduk has spies everywhere.
Now we prepared a map.
Some of the dirt roads may
be difficult to follow,
but you should get
there unnoticed.
- You must be prepared for
anything, Marduk is very shrewd.
- Steve, this is
gonna be a tough job.
I think we should recruit
Hotdog with his bag of tricks.
- And Mr. Chase, we
urge you to take Kandy.
She can be an invaluable asset.
- Look upon it as our way of
ensuring that our investment
carries out his side
of the contract.
- Sorry gentlemen, we're
going in without women.
It's Marduk and me.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Congratulations, once
again my loyal warrior,
you have proved yourself
to be the Optimus,
the best of the best.
Dedicated to our eternal quest
for unparalleled perfection.
And so shall you remain,
until one even better
can vanquish you.
- Honey child.
What is it, Minerva?
- I have news, angel face.
- What news?
And I wish you wouldn't
all me those names.
At least not in
front of the ladies.
- The ladies?
He's coming, they convinced him.
- Wonderful.
At last, a real challenge
for the Optimus.
If Mr. Steve Chase survives.
- And now for the bad news.
It's the doctor, he
says he must see you.
- How presumptuous of him.
Dr. Kane is summoning me?
- At once, he says.
- I summon people to
me, they come to me.
- He's out of
control honeysuckle,
I think the drug's worn off.
- He may need reinforcement,
take me to him.
Marduk.
Marduk.
Marduk.
Marduk.
- What's all this nonsense
about you're summoning me?
- I know Marduk,
it was on the news.
I'm not here of my own free
will, I've been kidnapped.
Why did you kidnap me?
- I assure you Dr. Kane,
your fears are groundless.
Pure paranoid postulation.
I invited you here for
the good of mankind.
This community is a
model for a new society,
a perfect civilization that will
one day cover the
face of the earth.
As soon as the drug is ready
for oral application, remember?
- You want to introduce the drug
into the world's water supplies?
I must help you rule the world?
- When will Operation
Water Supply commence?
- In five days.
- My patience is running out,
injections are too clumsy.
- It will be ready,
I assure you.
- See that this citizen
receives reinforcement
every five days
instead of weekly.
There's something
terribly wrong here.
We don't know how long
he's had a free will.
Move him and the
lab immediately,
and search the
place top to bottom.
- We'll turn it upside
down, buttercup.
- Okay round number
six, place your bets.
Round number six,
okay round number six.
Place your bets gentlemen
please, place your bets.
Last of the big time spenders
all under one roof.
Round number six.
You guys ready?
- Oh, leap!
- That's our Hotdog.
- I'm not ready to die yet.
Then you're
not ready to live, turkey.
Okay, round number seven.
Last one to chicken
out gets it all.
Place your bets gentlemen
please, place your bets.
Nobody move.
- Hasn't changed a bit.
- Round number
eight, come on fellas
let's see some more
of the green stuff.
Place your bets.
Ah, ah, ah.
Hotdog.
Round number eight.
- Got my leg, help me.
Wait til, wait til I'm out.
Wait, wait til I'm out.
- Steve.
Steve baby.
- How you doin' buddy?
- Gypsy.
Gorilla.
Hey you guys go on without
me, I got business.
Well, the old gang
together again.
I never believed
it would happen.
All right, round number nine--
- Yeah but where's The Fly?
Hell The Fly's missing.
- Do you know where he might be?
- Huh, oh no now
wait a minute Steve,
are you assembling again?
Well count me out, kid, far out.
You're too dangerous.
Look out, will ya?
- Hey you guys, I
passed this one.
You're only allowed
to shoot each other.
It's damn hard to teach
these guys a new game.
- Hey, are you gonna
come with us or not?
- Well actually Steve I'm
a little busy right now,
I gotta couple of numbers to.
- Hotdog, you are
coming with us.
- Easy buddy, you're
always on pins and needles.
Well?
- Well, since you love me so
much, what are we waiting for?
- That's better.
Okay guys, round number 10.
Chip in or ship out.
You got nothin' to
lose except your life.
Hors d'oeuvres sir?
- What are those for?
Something for you sir?
- No thanks.
Oh you'll see,
might come in handy.
Hors d'oeuvres?
- So, what about The Fly?
- We're goin' in without him.
You're kidding?
Look, he's achieved satori
and doesn't wanna join us.
I've given up chasing ghosts.
- Hey come on, that's
not our style, Steve.
Either we go in as a team or
we don't go at all, right?
- Don't get exited.
- Who's excited?
Just because you're eight
times world champion--
- Four times.
Hey hold your horses, will ya?
I'm holding mine.
Hey man what're you
doin', are you crazy?
I can't believe
this, damn animal.
I'm gonna quit
this stinkin' job.
- Sir, what are you doing?
- I couldn't wait any longer.
- Please excuse him, ma'am.
He's never flown in
an airplane before.
- Oh I thought maybe
he'd never been
let out of the zoo before.
- Well actually we
bribed his keeper.
- Steve.
- Hi sweetheart, you included
in the price of the ticket?
- What are you doing here?
I thought I told you the four
of us are going in alone.
- It's our plane, our money.
I'm entitled to come
along if I want to.
- You're really
cute, you know that?
Look, I accepted this job
subject to certain conditions.
So I'm turning this plane
around and it's your choice
who gets off at the other end.
- Listen Steve Chase,
I'm here for a reason.
I know where you
could find The Fly.
I can't make him come along
but I can take you to him.
Possibly he'll listen to you.
But I must, I wanna
see my father.
- Oh come on Steve,
she's already on board,
you can't send her back now.
- Okay Duchess, let's
see how smart you are.
Lead us to The Fly.
- Welcome Steve, I
was expecting you.
Sit.
- I know you see me,
but do you hear me, Fly?
Okay, come on Fly,
I need your feet.
There are many
lives at stake here.
- For this mission, feet
alone are insufficient.
The mind that leads the
feet needs to be wise.
- Another one of
your games, Fly?
- Perhaps only a game of
illusion, perhaps real.
Can you match me?
A true leader finds a
way around any obstacle.
I'm sorry, I cannot follow you.
How did you manage
this illusion?
- What illusion, Fly?
- You lead, I'll come.
- Okay everybody,
let's take a break.
- Question, why is the soft
lady traveling with warriors?
- To sew holes in the socks.
- Hey you guys, she oughta be
sitting in the back, not me.
- Hotdog, where
is your sense of,
what's the word, Steve?
- Chivalry?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, look who's talking,
Captain Midnight
who sits up front.
- Ah-ah.
- Don't worry gentlemen,
I can hold my own.
- In any case Kandy, I better
teach you some of the basics.
Right after you
prepare breakfast.
- Martial arts are
built on tradition,
which the trained warrior
must learn to master
just as the physician
masters his skill.
And if the student is
instilled with the forms
and techniques, he learns to
break the chains of tradition.
Marduk.
- Martial arts must
first be graceful,
elegant.
And only then
can they be
potent.
The student begins
to become one
with the spirit of his art.
Lending a new creativity
to his every movement.
- Thus he acquires
the new freedom.
A transcendence of the physical
and intellectual being.
- No wasted motion.
No wasted energy.
Every flick of the finger
must have a meaning.
Every step.
Every breath.
Even the slightest
flick of the head.
Then there's the
element of surprise.
I should've known.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
Supervised recreation
periods will henceforth be of
1/2 hour duration on alternate
days only, that is all.
- Operation Intercept
has been activated.
- Marvelous, the first test
for the great Steve Chase.
- Leave it to us, pumpkin pie.
- You must learn to stop
calling me these names, Minerva.
- Oh, you're absolutely
right, chuckles.
- Chuckles, chuckles, ah-ha,
chuckles, chuckles, ah-ha.
- Sure sounds like
a rough joint.
Let's take a look inside you
guys, we might learn something.
Okay Steve.
- And hey, keep your eyes open.
House of merriment
usually breeds trouble.
- Hey friend, do you know
of a place around here
called Ironville?
- Don't believe we've met.
- As a matter of
fact we haven't,
we're kinda new around here.
- How come you called me friend?
- Seemed like a friendly
kinda thing to say.
- Around here, it's
only our friends
that're allowed
to call us friend.
- Then how about hey, you
know of a place around here
called Ironville?
- Hotdog.
- I'd like to buy
everybody a drink.
Ooh!
- I'd like to buy you a drink.
I'm gettin' outta here.
- I'm feeling extra
generous today,
I'd like to buy
you another drink.
Oh-wee.
- Ironville, friends,
isn't signposted.
Just take the road into the
mountains and you'll hit it.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
Group seven report
for reinforcement
therapy in 1/2 hour.
Due to reduced productivity,
group 11 will be on
short rations for the
remainder of the week.
Those are the orders
of the great Marduk.
That is all.
- Hey you, come here.
Documents.
Says here you're
with group eight.
- Yes.
Why aren't you with 'em?
- I've been sent on an errand.
- Without a class A permit?
- I have a class A permit.
It's not here.
- I must've lost it.
- That's against the rules.
I'll let you go this time--
- No you won't.
No class A permit allowing
him to venture forth
separated from his group.
You must of course
be disciplined.
- Of course.
- Report directly to
the holding center.
Tell them that you
are to serve one week
solitaries on zita rations.
- Yes sir.
- Infallible, perfect control.
As for you.
Next time you'll lose
your elite status.
What is it?
- Operation Intercept,
the fight in the bar.
Did we defeat them?
- No, they won.
- How close are they?
- Oh less than a day's travel.
- Effect plan B,
elite ground core,
and put all other
units on alert.
Operation Water Supply
begins in three days.
- Sure thing, dimples.
- Great work in that fight,
I was really impressed.
- Thanks.
- It's kinda curious, you know.
- What is?
- The way you handle yourself,
sorta like an expert.
- I wanna be prepared,
the same way you want
them to be prepared.
- Sure, but to us
it's a way of life.
- By the way I'm, I'm sorry.
- About what?
- Not telling you
that I could fight.
It's just, you never
really asked me.
- It's not exactly the kinda
question a guy asks a girl.
- You're not upset?
- No, as a matter of fact,
your stock just went
up a couple of points.
- Question, why is
soft lady making mush?
- There's nothing on the
map that looks like this.
It's almost as if
it had been changed.
- This crossroads looks like
it's been here for years.
Hey!
- What can I do for you folks?
- We seem to be lost.
You know anything about a town
up this way called Ironville?
- You mean used to
be called Ironville.
Got some strange new name now,
bunch of weirdos up there.
Don't let nobody around.
Why do you wanna know?
- Just interested, that's all.
- If you've any sense,
you'll stay interested
from a distance.
- Now I'm really interested.
- When I give advice, I
expect people to listen.
- Now my interest
is really peeked.
- Guess I'm not makin'
myself clear enough.
That's just a way
of saying please.
- That's just a way of
saying thanks but no thanks.
- A piece of cake.
- Oh!
Look who's on pins and
needles now.
- My elite ground
corps pulverized.
- Look at it this way
popsicle, you're getting closer
to seeing the Optimus
destroy Steve Chase.
That is if you can overcome
Operation Sky Dive.
- I know, I know, and
don't call me popsicle.
- Popsicle, popsicle, popsicle.
- I said don't call me popsicle.
- Never let yourself
forget the soul of karate.
Character, effort, sincerity,
etiquette, self-control.
Maintain concentration
at all times,
looking deep into
your own being.
As the master said,
to become a victor,
one must first be
victorious over oneself.
- Question, why are
eagles wearing umbrellas?
- It's amazing the lengths
Marduk's willing to go to
to keep outsiders away
from his experiment.
- At least we know
we're getting close.
- I will see you,
and raise one.
- I'll see you and raise five.
- I'm beginning to ask
myself why I came along
on this joyride.
- Why did you come
along, loyalty to Steve?
- You kiddin'?
I'll do anything for bucks.
- Yeah but somehow you
always seem to end up
on the side of the good guys.
- Works out that way.
- I'll raise you one again.
- Five more again.
- A beautiful site, but deadly.
Okay guys, here we go.
- Come on I've raised you five.
- Okay.
I'll go five more again.
- Five more on top of that.
- I'll raise you another two.
- I'll see you and
owe the kitty 20.
- Ah, all right, I'll
see you and I'll owe one
just for the hell of it.
- 20 more.
- Ah what the hell,
I'll owe one more.
- Another 20.
- Your 20, plus one.
- 50 more.
- 50 and I'll raise you two.
You ruined my cards, damn.
Where are my cards?
Well?
- Well, the jump was successful.
- But the fight,
how did we fare?
- Don't worry angel face,
we'll tie 'em up in knots.
- Thanks for the help.
- There were only 20 of them,
I didn't figure you needed help.
- Well at least we
know in which direction
the town is situated.
I watched the plane
after it made the drop.
- I never finished biddin'.
Guess we're gonna
replay the hand.
- Yeah, what did you have?
- A pair of threes.
- A pair of threes, is that all?
- Yeah, what did you have?
- A royal flush, the first
one in my whole life,
without cheating.
- Damn place gives
me the creeps.
It's enough to put you
off potatoes forever.
- It's too quiet to suit me.
- The animal trap lies
quietly before it springs.
- What do we do now?
We have to get inside the town
before they realize it.
Marduk must know we're here.
We have an advantage, he
doesn't know our plans.
- Neither do I.
- The first objective is
to get the doctor out.
Then we're going after Marduk.
We must destroy every
copy of the formula
and dispose of the drug.
- Why do I get this
feeling I'm not gonna
like it down there?
- Ah, maybe if ask real nice,
they'll give us the doctor.
- After dark we slip
inside in pairs.
Gorilla, you and Hotdog
are going together.
Gypsy Billy and The
Fly will be the B team.
I'm going alone.
- What about me?
- You wait here.
- He's my father, you'll not
leave me out of the action.
- Someone has to stay behind
and look after the vehicle.
It's our only means of escape
after the mission's
been accomplished.
And you Kandy Kane with a K
have been officially elected.
- Hey with all Marduk's
checkpoints, how
do we get around?
- The guards are the only ones
who can move around freely.
Pick out one your size
and take his place.
- What then?
- I'll make my way to the lab
where the doctor's being held.
We'll meet in the
back of the building
and plan the final
assault from there.
Good luck.
- I want you to know, I don't
appreciate being left behind.
- I've been hired to do a
job, we'll do it my way.
Who's there?
What's goin' on down there?
- Hey, hey somebody,
open up over here.
Who's there?
- I've brought some
new weapons for Marduk.
Come on you guys,
come take a look.
Come on.
You guys are not
gonna believe this.
Told you so.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
The great, the immortal Marduk
desires to speak to you.
My people, it has
been a great disappointment
to me of late to
learn of the lessening
in general productivity.
It seems we are not
using our work hours
to maximum advantage.
The reasons for
this are unclear,
but I cannot believe the
problem is one of discipline
or a lack of enthusiasm.
Therefore, I have no
choice but to increase
the number of work hours and
decrease recreational time.
This is not a punishment, but
rather a remedial measure.
That is all.
Attention
all citizens, attention.
The imminent launching
of Operation Water Supply
calls for new scheduling.
Groups one through five will
report for weekly reinforcement
therapy one hour
earlier than usual.
All other groups will report
one hour later than usual.
Free activity periods
are to be suspended
until further notice.
That is all.
- Watch what you're
doin' citizen.
- I'm not your citizen.
- Drugs worn off, prepare
a reinforcement injection.
No, no, you're
not gonna get me with that.
No, no.
No.
Stop, stop, you
don't understand.
- Back to work, citizen.
Oh what, what?
- What are you
doing here, alien?
- I belong to Marduk's
undercover force.
- Where are your documents?
- I have them right here.
The rest of you ding-a-lings
get in line and come here.
Ya!
I thought I told you
to stay with the car.
- I've got every
right to be here.
Where's my dad?
- He's been moved,
we must find him.
Stick with me.
- Hey shut up will ya?
- I can't help it if
he wasn't my size.
- There you go on a tear again,
what are you tryin'
to do get us caught?
- Stop moaning.
- Rip off artist.
- Great, just great.
I'm sure you'll make
it to the top 10
on Marduk's fashion parade.
You seen the others?
- Not a sign.
Kandy I'd better get you
some clothes, and fast.
Hang on.
- The doctor's not in the
laboratory, he's been moved.
Since you couldn't find
yourself a uniform,
get yourself into a work group
and try to discover where he is.
- Gotcha Steve.
- Okay Kandy, here you go,
here's some clothes for you.
What's the matter,
they too big for you?
I'll get you another one.
- No, no, no, it's just,
just perfect, thank you.
Thank you very much
indeed, Hotdog.
- Come on, Marduk's
about to get his
water supply
operation under way.
Kandy, go get these clothes
on, we'll wait for you.
- Documents, on the double.
- Oh yeah, you.
- You guys scared
the hell out of me.
- The doctor's been moved, we
have to find out where he is.
Otherwise--
What's going on here?
- There's more traffic
here than on Times Square
on a Saturday night.
We found this female
citizen roaming around.
- What are you
doing here citizen?
- Obeying the wishes of
the great and wise Marduk.
- This citizen acts strange.
- I think I should take
her to see Dr. Kane
for special examination.
- Rubbish.
The doctor doesn't get
involved in such matters.
- Then perhaps I better take her
to the reinforcement
therapy center.
- You mean of course, the
control medical center.
- It's the same thing isn't it?
- Yes I suppose
you could say that.
- I think she should
see the doctor anyhow.
There's something
not quite in order.
I think he should look at her.
- You're not paid to think.
Marduk's orders are that
he's not to be disturbed.
The doctor has been moved.
- Why has he been moved?
Where to?
- He's still where
he was yesterday,
the second floor of the
control medical center.
- I'm taking her there
immediately, there's
something wrong.
- You're right alien,
something is wrong.
You're all coming with me.
- Let's go, let's take
this citizen to her father.
Where'd you come from?
- Looks like you know
where you're going,
so I thought I would join you.
- Only a gorilla would
look for trouble.
We found out
where the doctor is,
we're going in after him.
- This area's off limits,
what are you doing here?
- We're taking these
citizens to the doctor
for special examination.
- I have no orders for
special examinations.
Let's go see what the captain
has to say about this.
- I knew I shoulda stayed
in bed this morning.
- We'll have to do
it the hard way,
take them first chance you get.
- Quiet, no talking.
Step on it, come on, move on.
Have your sleeves rolled up.
- So we meet again, alien.
I thought I might find you here.
- We must be losing our touch.
Usually when we hit
somebody they stay hit.
- Well we won't have to
worry about that much longer.
Technician, bring
six injections.
Welcome to
New Babylonia, Mr. Chase.
- I never thought I'd
be happy to see you.
- Rest assured, you won't be.
These aliens are
not to be injected.
I have far greater
plans for Mr. Chase.
Guards!
Everybody freeze.
I will not be deprived of
my pleasure, Mr. Chase.
As you must know by now,
these are my warriors.
The elite of the elite.
One day when I have
fulfilled my mission,
these people will
replace the guards.
Ordinary weapons
will be obsolete.
These are to be the upper class,
those individuals
superior in every way.
Physically, intellectually,
spiritually,
and emotionally.
- With freedom of
choice eliminated.
- Freedom of choice, as
we have come to know it,
has lead inexorably
to the deterioration
of the ethical and
moral fabric of society.
Even as we speak,
the new oral serum
is being readied for shipment.
Discipline is the keystone
to a successful society
and is effective only
when the people understand
it is a necessity for
their own survival.
- And the doctor's drug
ensures their understanding?
- Practically speaking yes.
In a very short time,
the entire world
will be brought
under my control.
- And just where
do I fit in to this
perfect world you're creating?
- Amongst the elite
there is always one
who stands out above all others.
The Optimus.
It is an obsession with me
that he be not only the best
in this community, but the
best of the entire world.
That means he must beat
you in open combat.
- And if I refuse to fight?
- That will be tragic.
You would of course have to die.
- Compelling argument.
Steve Chase I'd like you to meet
Dr. Horacio Kane.
- How do you do, Dr. Kane?
Dr. Kane?
You've drugged him.
- Naturally.
We couldn't have
him inventing things
that might be harmful
to New Babylonia
now could we Mr. Chase?
- And he's another example of
your happy peaceful citizens.
- Of course he's happy.
You may talk to Mr.
Chase now Dr. Kane.
Tell him how happy you are.
- I am very happy.
- What's going on here?
- I caught blondie
here taking photographs
of the serum vats.
I suspected for a long
time that she was an alien.
- It's not true, Marduk.
You must record your
triumph for history.
- What a shame that one so
beautiful can be so deceitful.
You realize of course
that you've lost
your elite status, my dear.
You must have her
interrogated immediately.
We don't know how
much the aliens know.
- Enough to cause them
to blow New Babylonia
right off the map I'm afraid.
- You're wrong Mr. Chase,
that's exactly what
they'd never do.
They want that drug
as much as I do.
- So you're Steve Chase.
Hm, not bad.
- Has anybody ever suggested
you change your hairdresser?
- Enough of this nonsense.
You'll have to excuse
me a moment Mr. Chase.
Oh and please bear in mind, in
case you get any funny ideas,
these guards will be waiting
right outside this door.
How long were you there?
- A classic case of paranoia.
He won't feel safe til he's got
the whole world at his feet.
How long have you
had this camera?
- I was only taking pictures.
- You're not drugged.
Where is the camera?
- No, in my case the drug
wears off in two days.
Marduk has no idea.
What were you
doing in the serum vats?
- I was taking pictures.
- There in the serum
vats with your camera,
what were you
taking pictures of?
When were you there?
- That makes my
job a lot easier.
- Your job?
Who are you?
- Your daughter hired
me to help you escape.
- That only presents
one problem, Mr. Chase.
- What's that?
- My daughter is here, already
one of Marduk's victims.
- The puzzle's all
coming together.
In any case, I have
to get you out of here
and destroy the serum.
- Maybe I can be of
some help to you there.
I've developed an antidote, in
both liquid and tablet form.
- All we have to
do is get them into
the hands of the people.
- Into their stomachs you mean.
Here, take these
for your protection.
- When were you there?
- We haven't much time.
Marduk has already poured the
serum into the water supply.
The antidote must be inserted
into the contaminated water
within 24 hours
or it won't work.
- I think I know how.
Marduk.
Marduk.
- Citizens of New Babylonia,
today here we will
witness that the Optimus
is indeed the best.
The best in the entire world.
- And what if Steve
Chase wins, dumpling?
- He will not win.
- It's no use, there's
no way out of here.
- There's always a way out.
- Hey Gorilla, you
wanna try these bars?
- Huh, can't figure it out.
Always works in the movies.
- Well, well, fancy
meeting you here.
- What's going on here?
- The bad news is Marduk's
gonna make us get out there
in the arena and
fight his people.
- My god, like gladiators.
- And the good news?
- I talked to Dr. Kane.
- How is he?
- Your father's just fine.
- Steve that's terrific.
- Sure terrific, and
what do we do now?
- I've got a plan.
Once we're out there in
the arena, stick with me.
- You can count on it.
- There's just one thing Miss
Kane, or whoever you are.
- There's no time now,
I'll have to explain later.
Please trust me.
- You stay here, the
rest come with us.
- Citizens, we have in our
midst several strangers,
who have come here to
cause us great harm.
We will prove today
in this arena,
that we are stronger
than these aliens.
They cannot and
will not destroy us.
Bring them in,
let the fun begin.
- We meet yet again.
Oh!
- This time you
won't be so lucky.
Oh!
Whoa.
Whoa.
- Hotdog.
Oh!
Whoa.
Oh!
Oh!
- They're making us
look like idiots.
- Don't worry, Steve Chase
has not yet met the Optimus.
- And what if Steve Chase wins?
- Then the inevitable
will happen.
I'll have to kill him.
Citizens, we will now bring
on the leader of these aliens.
The great Steve Chase, who is
going to battle the Optimus.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Oh!
Wow.
- Nice going, Steve.
- I knew you'd get him.
- You'll not deprive me
of my victory, Mr. Chase.
I shall have the last laugh yet.
- No, I am the Optimus, Marduk,
the champion of champions.
- You'll not be the Optimus
until you defeat them,
under my control.
Guard, bring a
drink for Mr. Chase.
You shall have the honor
of being the first person
in the entire world to
drink the new liquid serum.
It's either that, or immediate
death for all your friends.
Goodbye Steve Chase, and
welcome to my world, citizen.
- I am at your command.
- Those about you
are your enemies.
You shall kill them.
- Now tell them they're free.
All right, all right.
You are free.
I am no longer your master.
- From today on, New
Babylonia no longer exists.
From today on, New
Babylonia no longer exists.
- I am your enemy.
No.
- I am your enemy.
I am your enemy.
- You must destroy me.
You must destroy me.
Hey come on, let's go.
Please, save me.
- Kandy, Gorilla.
The rest, come with me.
Look out.
- They're going to get away.
- Not today little lady.
Wait here.
- You must get me out of here.
- I can't, he's too strong.
Let go.
- Let go, do you hear?
I Marduk command you.
- Command?
I think you're through
commanding anyone.
- He's right poopsie, it's
time to get out of here.
- You dare to dessert me?
Come back, it's our only chance.
Let go of
the end or we'll shoot.
Go on.
- No don't shoot, no!
No!
- You most definitely
should've listened
to the lady, poopsie.
- The formula Dr.
Kane or your life.
- The formula shall die with me.
- It's your choice.
Steve, the fighting is over,
the town has been
returned to the people.
- Hey Steve, you okay?
- Fine buddy.
- My daughter and I thank
you for all you've done.
- What about the serum?
- Nobody's gonna get it, I
destroyed all that's left of it.
- Yeah but you can't get the
formula out of your head.
- The formula doesn't matter,
I prepared plenty of antidote.
- Steve.
I must talk to you.
- Seems like you're the only
one things didn't work out for.
- Okay, so you found out
I'm a government agent.
- I suspected it all along.
Who else could afford to
pay me that much money
for my services?
- Then why did you come?
- To prevent anybody
from getting the drug.
- Steve, please believe me,
I've had enough of working
