Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015) Movie Script

1
Once upon a time long ago, there was a Monkey King - Sun Wukong.
He had magnificent powers beyond belief.
He once created a tremendous uproar in the Heavenly Palace and angered the Jade Emperor.
Insolent Monkey!
You have broken my laws and shall taste my wrath.
Mmm, tastes pretty sweet to me.
Go get him!
Here comes Nezha!
Shoot!
Down you go!
The Monkey King had defeated the whole Heavenly Army with great victory.
Yet the Grand Buddha disliked hid defiance against the Heavens.
Since then, Sun Wukong has been imprisoned under the Mountain of Five Elements
for the last five hundred years.
But don't worry, Sun Wukong - The Great Sage Equaling Heavens won't die.
He fell asleep, that's all.
It's getting dark, everyone back on the road.
Alright!
Let's go!
Follow up!
Mind your steps!
No problem.
Be careful.
Incoming Mountain Trolls!
There are Mountain Trolls!
Down the hill!
What is it?
A child.
Poor boy.
Where are you from?
Pitiful baby.
Gracious Buddha.
Bravo!
Great!
Sun Wukong the Great Monkey King
Fights the Heavenly Kings
Great!
But Sun Wukong won't die.
Jiang Liuer!
It's you again?
Fa Ming!
Discipline your disciples!
Don't ever get in sight again!
Sun Wukong is here!
Hairy monster! Announce your name!
Jade joker, take that!
Sifu!
Liuer, what are you doing?
I am...
begging for alms.
Gracious Buddha.
Liuer.
Sifu I only hope that you can grow up diligent.
Sifu cannot always be there for you all your life.
Sifu.
For us monks all we do is to eat and fill our stomachs.
How is that different to anyone else?
Of course it's not the same!
Begging for alms is only the beginning of becoming a great monk.
Meditation, reciting sutra, and zen.
Away from arrogance and haste, be one with nature.
You see, aren't Sifu I, doing well at this?
Mountain Trolls are everywhere.
Reciting sutras don't scare them away.
What can you do about it?
I want to...
learn kung fu and knock out the Trolls.
Be quiet!
Jiang Liuer, now listen carefully.
For us monks to save the world,
we start from small deeds.
Focus on meditation, zen and begging for alms.
World is within the petal of a flower, wisdom is within the leaves.
See it, believe it, interpret it.
Everything is illusion.
Life is a self made illusion from your heart.
One foul thought drives out all wisdom.
Don't get into fights.
Now you must...
I know, sutras, zen...
No!
It's to get on with begging for alms.
Yes, Sifu!
Mountain Trolls approaching!
Shoot!
Go!
Liuer!
Liuer!
Jiang Liuer!
One, two, four...
That makes forty-eight altogether.
This one is oversized, get it out.
Boss, we still need one girl.
Here comes a girl!
A girl!
Liuer, what are you doing?
Stay out of trouble...
Sifu, run!
What happened?
- Sifu, run! - Liuer!
It's all your fault!
Sifu, this way!
Sifu!
Liuer, run!
Run!
Where is that kid?
Here you go.
You fool!
Liuer, where are you?
Liuer!
Run!
What bloody baboon is that?
What are you standing there for?
Go get him!
Horsey!
Buddha, you old bastard.
You locked me up for five hundred years.
That's not enough for you?
You can't do this.
I am the Great Sage!
Great Sage Equal of Heaven!
Who's that?
Come on out!
Now!
You again?
Are you really the Great Sage Equal of Heaven?
Yeah, so?
It's him!
He really is the Great Monkey King!
I am not the Great Sage!
Stupid kid!
Great Sage!
Over there.
Thank you Master Groundhog!
Great Sage!
Wait for me!
Great Sage, what are you doing here?
Nothing, nothing at all.
Great Sage, I had just seen you talking to the Buddha's statue.
Then you must have seen...
Catch me now, you stupid kid!
Great Sage!
You must have met the Buddha himself!
Tell me, can Buddha hear me whenever I recite the sutra?
Yes. I'm sure he can.
The old man loves to poke his nose in everyone's business.
Great Sage, you must know magic!
I know.
Sun Wukong - the Great Sage Equal of Heaven.
Cast of iron with eyes of fire.
The immortal one, who can transform seventy-two times.
Your Somersault Cloud takes you a hundred thousand miles.
Pull off a strand of air and blow it.
How come nothing comes about?
By the way, Great Sage,
you also have a Power Pole.
That might pole weights ten thousand pounds.
Where is that pole of yours, Great Sage?
All the stories say that you hid it inside your ear!
Show me!
Show me!
You stupid little kid!
Chattering on and on, you're gonna make my brain explode!
Can't you just leave me alone?
Alright.
No one more question about the Power Pole!
Great Sage, does the Three-Eyed God really have three eyes?
That's amazing!
Great Sage, does God Juling really have the strength of giant?
Yes.
Are the Four Heavenly Kings really brothers?
No, they're sisters!
Then is Nezha a boy?
She's a girl.
Does the Pagoda King have a pagoda?
No!
- Then are there people in the pagoda? - Jeez, no!
You ruthless Sun Wukong!
I, the Mountain Lord am here to guard you, upon Grand Buddha's order.
How dare you escape!
You? You're literally as dumb as a box of rocks!
Well now that you see I am here,
why don't you just leave by yourself?
Sun Wukong, you still bear the mark of Buddha's Punishment.
You are only a useless Monkey!
What outdated attitude is that of yours?
My fist will crush you...
Halt! Damned Monkey!
That spell!
You are going nowhere!
Don't move.
Great Sage, you see.
In the Five Elements Mountain resides strange beings.
Had that Guardian of the Dragon been unleashed?
Your Highness.
Are you saying that this hairy-faced Monkey is Sun Wukong?
I shall see for myself what sort of tricks he could pull off.
Great Sage!
You are here too!
I thought I may never find you again.
I left you on the mountain.
I remember that I was falling off a cliff.
There was that giant fish tying to eat us.
Oh, I know!
The Great Sage saved us!
Great Sage!
Thank you for saving us!
No thanks, Sifu said that us monks must not eat meat.
Monks?
My name is Jiang Liuer, I am a monk.
My Sifu is Fa Ming, we come from Chang'an the Capital.
I...
Then what are you doing on this "mountain of doom"?
Those horrible Trolls, they kidnap children!
I bumped into her.
Then the beasts chased after us.
Then we ended up here.
Terrible Trolls!
But now everything is fine.
Since the Great Monkey King is our protector,
we are afraid of nothing!
Who's going to protect you?
Once we get off this mountain, we'll go our separate ways, okay?
But...
Be careful, it's hot!
Great Sage?
Leave me! I'm safer up here anyway.
Little One!
Great Sage, there is a temple ahead.
Great Sage.
Great Sage! Buddha had revealed his magic.
Buddha?
Monster, leave the little girl alone!
He is Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal of Heaven!
"Great Sage"?
No offense, but that chimp doesn't look like he's "Great" at anything.
I would go around calling myself the Pagoda King.
He really thinks he's Sun Wukong!
Kid, hold this for me.
I'll prove to you that this Great Sage is nothing but a Great Fake.
Monkey King, see this!
It's really him.
You stinking fleabag!
You're the reason I came crashing down here in the first place, with this PIG SNOUT on my face!
Nothing to eat but pig slop for the last 500 years.
Look at how skinny I've gotten!
I won't let you get away with this!
It's real handy place to hang on to.
Same old Sun Wukong! Toss me aside and walk away!
He does that.
Well good riddance! You're lucky I'm so forgiving!
You are actually afraid to go after him, right?
No, I've got a busy schedule, places to go, food to steal.
Even Master Groundhog seem way more powerful than the Pagoda King.
Groundhog? Now hang on.
I'm the Pagoda King, okay? I lead an army of a hundred thousand.
I can transform into whatever I want!
And with this nose, I can track the stink on that Monkey for miles.
He can't just walk away. Not this time!
- Really? - Don't blink.
I'll turn myself into a PANTHER and hunt down that hairball.
What is that?
It really is a panther!
Let's go! Capture that Monkey!
We're really going?
Didn't the Great Sage go that way?
Great Sage! He is over on that side!
Great Sage!
Wait for us, Great Sage!
Great Sage!
The Pagoda King wants to challenge you!
That's strange, he was there just then.
Great Sage, do you know each other?
Is he really the Pagoda King?
How comes he seems like...
He seems like a pig.
And believe me, a pig is an improvement.
But his transformations were quite something.
He can't do it for very long. Only as long as a breath.
And then, boom. Back to a pig.
Uncle Pig! Here you are!
I thought you are no longer coming!
You come back here to get thrown by your nose again?
Cool! He turned into another me!
He has bigger bellies though.
That's magic! One more time please!
Great Sage! Look!
Get out of the way!
Stay back!
Don't move!
Nobody moves!
Great Sage.
You scared it away!
You could've gotten yourself killed, okay?
Why do you get in that White Dragon's way?
Not for you, hamhock!
You probably led him right to us. You're the one who should be dragon meat!
Not the ears! My face can't take anymore!
Great Sage, please spare him!
It's all my fault.
Let's see if pigs can fly.
No!
Why do you always speak up for him?
His ears are blushed!
Great Sage! The dragon is flying!
Let go of ears, will you? I don't need this abuse,
being a pig is bad enough!
That Dragon can really fly!
That's pure freedom, soaring through the clouds like that.
It would be great if I could fly.
I did too, you know. All over the sky, no big deal.
So that I can fly over the mountains and find Sifu.
Bring the Little One back home.
You might someday if you're brave enough.
Then you can go as far as you want.
Great Sage, can you tell me more?
Great Sage.
You have been to the Dragon's Palace. Is the Dragon King humongous?
Yeah, but he was really stingy.
Oh, Great Sage.
Are there many dragons in this world?
Wherever there is water, there are dragons.
There is an inn over there!
They'll have a kitchen!
Wait for me!
Great Sage, hurry up!
Great Sage, hurry up!
Stay and don't move!
Welcome...
Excuse us! Anybody home?
Anyone home?
No one is here.
Coming...
Someone here?
Good Sir, we are traveling by your inn,
and wish to spend the night here.
Spend what?
Please excuse our shabby service.
Don't mind him.
He is just a bit stupid.
Young Master, where are you heading?
We are going to Chang'an the Capital.
What a cutie little girl!
Hurry up and bring tea!
Chang'an, the Capital!
Young Master, Chang'an is not your brightest spot to go.
We heard that Trolls are all over town there.
Trolls! Monster! Trolls!
Trolls!
Trolls! Monster! Trolls!
Don't be afraid!
They are good people.
They are kind?
They only look rather strange, that's all.
"Strangely handsome", am I right?
Don't worry.
We just want to spend the night here and hit the road in the morning.
- Really? - Really!
Alright, follow me then.
Thank you, Ma'am.
No worries, no worries.
Hey, you're making me look stupid!
You kind visit makes my humble inn grateful.
Bed over here.
Have a good rest. Let me know if there is anything you would need.
Why are you standing there? Get to work!
What's with all the crying?
Little One, don't cry. Let's get some sleep, shall we?
Look, I still have a Great Sage here!
I'll give it to you.
With him as your protector,
you won't be afraid of anything.
Bedtime.
Useless!
It's quiet here.
We've grown to be so close to the sounds of the forest.
I can't get any sleep now.
Better for me,
you snore anyway.
True.
Great Sage, if I ever do find my Sifu
and bring the Little One home, where will you go?
Huaguo Shan - Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.
Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.
I know that one from the stories.
Stories say that the Mountain is a joyous place.
Full of trees, fruits and flowers.
Surrounded by beautiful nature.
Stories say that peaches there are huge like a bowl!
You believe every story you hear?
Actually, the peaches are big as a basin.
As basin!
How far away are we from your Mountain?
A hundred thousand miles!
I'd have to walk all my life to get there.
But that would not be the case for the Great Monkey King.
No sweat! I could make that with one leap through the clouds...
Great Sage.
When I sent the Little One home, I will work hard on reading the sutras.
Because you said that Buddha himself can hear me.
So that I can pray to Buddha to give your magic powers back to you.
You little brat, mumbling nonsense all day long.
Don't bother Buddha with my problems. He might just lock me up again.
Maybe he should.
What are you doing there?
Why are you so tense?
You must be stealing food again!
What's happening upstairs?
Hey.
What are you still standing there?
Over here!
Tell me,
because I find it strange,
how could that Monkey be so dangerous?
Why are we made to be so careful of him?
Our Lord is too cautious about him.
I'm talking to you.
If I were the Lord,
I would just tie him up straight away!
What are you doing?
Wait!
I'm just saying if!
You fool!
If you ruin our Lord's plan, it's game over for you!
Wait, hold!
You damn pig, how dare you fool me!
Help!
I had a feeling the service here would be terrible... but wow.
Take cover!
Young Master, where are you going?
Go save the kids!
Get your hands off my bacon!
Get out of here!
Go!
Let's go!
Where is that Monkey?
Great Sage! Over here!
Get on the boat!
Come on!
Hold her!
Great Sage!
Great Sage, you see.
Leave her alone!
The Great Sage, Equal of what?
Nothing but a useless Monkey.
Young Master, monks are not allowed to be rude.
Sun Wukong, here you are again.
Great Sage!
Please go and rescue the Little One! Great Sage!
She's not my problem.
Great Sage.
Neither are you!
She's yours, you can take care of her yourself.
He can't. You know that.
You want to be the hero? Go ahead!
I didn't ask to be saddled with any of you!
But... you are the protector! The legends say...
I will go to rescue her.
Liuer! It's too dangerous for you!
Sun, you can't leave these kids, not now.
Monkey!
Damned Monkey!
Ouch... that hurts!
Hurry, or we won't make it to the Lord's ceremony!
Great Sage, Please go and rescue the Little One! Great Sage...
I...
I don't want this!
These people are nothing but trouble!
Great Sage.
Great Sage.
Look, I still have the a Great Sage here!
You can have it.
With him as your protector, you won't be afraid of anything.
Monkey!
Monkey!
Are you still alive?
Say something!
I know I'm a big pain in the neck.
But...
You want to be king again? Be the "Great Sage" that kid thinks you are!
Sun Wukong - The Great Monkey King.
Cast of iron with eyes of fire.
He is the immortal one, who can do seventy-two transformations.
A single somersault takes him a hundred thousand miles.
Pig!
Follow me!
Ancient temples stood, upon the Mountain of Five Elements
By the long river, under magnificent eaves
I take the essence of children
For alchemy to mark my quest for eternal longevity
Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo...
Put the baby on the Po.
Young Master, here we are again.
You have grown to be quite a warrior.
Come over here.
Liuer, are you alright?
Sifu, why are you here?
I have finally found you!
I will get you out of here, please don't get in trouble again.
I promise I will meditate and zen and beg everyday.
It's a sin for a monk to lie to Buddha.
That is the punishment.
Sifu, look!
There are so many kids!
What are you standing there for?
Sifu!
Little One!
My Lord, the time is running out!
Sun Wukong, you had ruined my day too many times.
Liuer.
Tell me! Where is that wimp?
He is no wimp!
Speak at once!
Where is he?
Great Sage! He is here!
The Great Sage Equal of Heavens is for real?
Damn Monkey!
Listen up!
I'm the Monkey King. And I'm here for...
So am I! The Pagoda King!
Monsters! You are all in big trouble!
Be careful! Piggy!
Useless.
Leave the children alone!
Great Sage!
Sun Wukong,
how's this taste compared to your peach of immortality?
I said...
leave... them... alone!
Great Sage.
Let go!
Great Sage!
I'm fine.
Just let me have a rest, then we can leave together.
Hey, I think you lost this.
Run!
Run!
Sifu, I'm going to help Great Sage!
Liuer!
Be careful!
Yes, Sifu!
Great Sage, what can I do for you?
What are you doing? Why are you back here?
Get out of here! Go!
But you promised that we would leave together.
Have you forgotten that I am the Great Sage Equal of Heaven.
I never die.
Great Sage.
Great Sage.
Don't be stupid, Liuer!
- Jiang Liuer! - Take it!
No!
You big worm!
I am here, come on!
Liuer!
Liuer!
You stupid kid!
Liuer!
Great Sage!
Liuer...
Liuer!
Great Sage.
Great Sage!
