THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT UNSUNG HEROES.
I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN HIM, BUT YOU NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS.
YOU'VE CHEERED FOR HIM AND CRIED FOR HIM, WOMEN HAVE WANTED TO DIE FOR HIM.
BUT DID HE EVER GET ANY CREDIT? OR THE GIRL? NO.
HE WAS WHAT WE CALL A STUNTMAN.
AND THE REASON I'M TALKIN' SO FONDLY ABOUT HIM IS-- WELL, BECAUSE IT'S ME, COLT SEAVERS.
ANYWAY, PICTURE WORK ISN'T WALL-TO-WALL EMPLOYMENT.
SO MAYBE YOU WONDER HOW A GUY KEEPS HIS HEAD TOGETHER.
WELL, ONE WAY IS TO WAIT BY THE PHONE AND WAIT AND WAIT.
THE OTHER IS TO TAKE AN OCCASIONAL JOB FOR THE COURT SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHERE A MAN IS CONSIDERED INNOCEN UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES A LO OF THESE PEOPLE GET OUT OF JAIL ON WHAT WE CALL BAIL.
AND THEY RUN LIKE HELL.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I SOMETIMES PICK UP RENT MONEY TRYIN' TO FIND THEM AND BRING THEM BACK TO JUSTICE.
TODAY I'VE GOTTA GO TO THE STUDIO TO TEACH HOWIE MARTIAL ARTS.
IT CAN COME IN REAL HANDY.
[ Man .]
OKAY.
READY, ACTION! [ Narrator Imitating Bogart .]

OKAY.
WE HAVE THREE SEPARATE DISTANCES.
NOW, NOTICE, FROM THIS DISTANCE THAT BASICALLY ALL I CAN DO IS MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE JUDO THROWS, JUJITSU ARM LOCKS, CHOKE HOLDS-- THINGS LIKE INSIDE GRAPPLING.
THEN, NEXT WE HAVE THE OUTSIDE DISTANCE LINE.
FROM HERE BASICALLY ALL I CAN DO IS, MAYBE-- HEY.

[ Sighs .]
- [ Mouthing Words .]
- KEEP TALKIN'.
WELL, THIS IS HOW I SEE IT.
SO THESE ARE THE RIO BROTHERS.
WHAT DID THESE GUYS DO TO EARN THEMSELVES A $25,000 BOND? WELL, THEY STARTED OU KENTUCKY MOONSHINING, THEN DECIDED TO GO BIG-TIME BY SLAPPING THEIR FIREWATER INTO FANCY BOTTLES.
AND I GUESS SOME OF THE BONDED LABEL CUSTOMERS WEREN'T TOO PLEASED WITH THE RIO BREW.
WHAT ARE THEY DOIN' IN HAWAII? WELL, THEY MUST BE UP TO SOMETHING.
THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE HEADED WHEN THE F.
B.
I.

YOU MEAN THEY GOT OU OF JAIL AND WENT RIGHT BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL TRAVEL PLANS? YOU GOT IT.
AND WE GE A PAID VACATION.
ALOHA! SHE'D LOOK SO NICE IN A GRASS SKIRT.

WHY NOT? I HELPED WITH THE RIO BROTHERS, AND YOU KNOW I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
LOOK.
SAMANTHA JACK IS NOT THE WORLD'S MOST GENEROUS EMPLOYER.
NOT EVEN WITH A PROSPECTIVE PARTNER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, THE JOB JUST DOESN' PAY ENOUGH FOR YOUR TICKET.
I'M SORRY.
LOCK UP WHEN YOU LEAVE, OKAY? [ Man .]
HOPE THOSE STUPID NATIVES DON'T SHOW UP WHILE WE'RE STEALIN' THEIR CROP.
[ Man #2 .]
DON'T WORRY.
THOSE STUPID PINEAPPLE HEADS ARE OUT SURFIN' OR SOMETHIN'.
NO, STEALIN' PLANTS FROM THESE BANANA HEADS IS EASIER THAN-- [ Chuckles .]
STEALIN' THE GOLD FILLINGS OUTTA GRANNY'S DENTURES ON A NIGHTSTAND.

WELL, WORD GETS AROUND PRETTY FAST HERE.
I AM JAPANESE.
MY COUNTRY MANUFACTURES THE FINEST INFORMATION COMPUTERS IN THE WORLD.
- WHAT DO YOU HAVE ABOUT ME IN YOUR COMPUTERS? - YOU DO NOT EXIST.
- DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF "YAKUZA," SEAVERS-SAN? - NOT EXACTLY.
WE LIVE BY A VERY STRICT CODE OF HONOR, HANDED DOWN FROM THE ORIGINAL SAMURAI WARRIORS.
DOES THAT INCLUDE GROWING ILLEGAL DRUGS? MY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PROTECT THE INTERES OF MY YAKUZA CLAN.
IT IS NOT FOR ME TO QUESTION ITS ACTIVITIES.
HOW DO THE RIOS FIT IN TO ALL THIS? SEVERAL BAGS OF OUR AGRICULTURAL CROPS WERE STOLEN BY THE TWO BROTHERS.
THE BAGS MUST BE RETURNED.
YOU SEEM LIKE A PRACTICAL MAN, MR.
OH.
IF YOU WERE THE RIOS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THIS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
I WOULD SELL THEM-- WHICH IS WHAT I IMAGINE THESE TWO MEN INTEND TO DO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? WHEN YOU FIND THE RIO BROTHERS, YOU MUST BRING THEM TO ME.
- I CAN'T DO THAT.
- I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO WORK FOR NOTHING.
- YOU WILL BE WELL PAID.
- [ Whistles .]
WHAT'LL HAPPEN IF I GIVE 'EM TO YOU? THEY WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDING TO OUR LAWS.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
I-- I HAVE MY OWN SENSE OF HONOR TO LIVE UP TO.
I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU RECONSIDER.
CAN WE GO NOW? PERHAPS I CAN OFFER YOU ONE MORE TEMPTATION.
[ Speaks Japanese .]
- JODY.
- THEY GOT ME WHEN I LANDED THE HELICOPTER.
I'M SORRY.
I REGRET THA WE HAVE TO DO BUSINESS THIS WAY, SEAVERS-SAN, BUT I'M AFRAID THE LADY WILL HAVE TO STAY WITH US UNTIL THE RIO BROTHERS ARE RETURNED.
IS THAT WHA YOUR SAMURAI RELATIVES WOULD'VE DONE, OH-SAN? A WARRIOR MUST DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO WIN.
THE LADY WILL BE QUITE SAFE.
YOU HAVE MY WORD.
YEAH, WELL, I HOPE YOUR WORD IS BETTER THAN YOUR DAMN CODE.
IF WE MEET AGAIN ONE DAY, WE WILL HAVE A LONG TALK ABOUT HONOR.
YEAH, YOU BET.
I'LL BE BACK, JODY.

YOU AIN'T GIVIN' OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO THEM LITTLE CROOKS.
" I COULD SHOO THOSE GUYS MYSELF.
NOW WE HAVEN'T GOT THE RIOS, AND WE HAVEN'T GOT THE MONEY.
SO NOW WHAT DO WE DO? WELL, EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU SET UP A STUNT.
AT THE LAST MINUTE THE DIRECTOR WANTS SOMETHIN' COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, SO YOU GOTTA THINK FAS AND PRAY A LOT.
SO? SO, START PRAYIN'.
I SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE IN THIS GARDEN.
IT IS THE ONE PLACE IN MY LIFE THAT I FIND TRUE PEACE.
WELL, I WISH I COULD SHARE YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
PERSONALLY, I'D RATHER BE HOME IN A HOT TUB.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, JODY-SAN, BUT KEEPING YOU PRISONER IS A NECESSARY EVIL I MUST DO.
MMM, DOMO.
IT'S VERY GOOD.
MY UNCLE WAS A MASTER IN A TEA CEREMONY.
MY PRACTICE IS PRIMITIVE, BUT THE TEA IS TASTY.
HOW COULD A MAN LIKE YOU BE INVOLVED WITH GANGSTERS? MY FATHER WAS YAKUZA.
HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM WAS YAKUZA.
I HAVE INHERITED THIS CURSE.
IN JAPANESE EYES, I COULD NEVER BE ANYTHING BUT YAKUZA.
[ Whispering In Japanese .]
BRING THEM HERE.
YOUR FRIENDS HAVE COME.
JODY-SAN, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR DETAINING YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL.
[ Footsteps Approaching .]
JODY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? HAVE SOME TEA? YOU ARE ALONE.
THE RIOS WERE STAYING AT A HOUSE OF A FRIEND OF MINE.
- THEY-- THEY ESCAPED.
- I'M VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
IF YOU LET JODY GO, THOUGH, I PROMISE TO TRACK 'EM DOWN AND SEND YOU THE MONEY.
I BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT, SEAVERS-SAN.
BUT I'M AFRAID I MUST KEEP THE GIRL.
[ Sighs .]
YOU'RE A MAN OF HONOR, MR.
OH-SAN.
SO AM I.
IN THE EARLY DAYS, UH, IN MY COUNTRY, MEN SETTLED ISSUES OF HONOR MAN-TO-MAN.
YOU ARE SPEAKING OF A DUEL.
WELL, YOUR MEN ALL CARRY SWORDS.
I, UH, ASSUME YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE.
I'M A MASTER AT KENDO.
I LEARNED THE USE OF THE SWORD FROM THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO WALK.
NO ONE IN JAPAN IS MY EQUAL.
WELL, I'VE USED ALL KINDS OF WEAPONS IN MY WORK, BUT I-- I CAN'T SAY THAT I'M AN EXPER WITH A SWORD, UH-- MAYBE I COULD CHOOSE MY OWN WEAPON.
SUCH AS THE ONE IN YOUR BELT.
OH, NO.
THIS IS-- THIS IS, UH, LOADED WITH BLANKS.
IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS WE CALL IT A PROP.
YOU HAVE COME HERE UNARMED TO CHALLENGE ME TO A DUEL.
NO, I BROUGHT THIS.
A GOOD STUNTMAN HAS TO RELY ON HIS CONCENTRATION AND HIS OWN WITS.
YOU ARE INDEED A MAN OF COURAGE AND HONOR, SEAVERS-SAN.
WE WILL DUEL, BUT YOU MUST USE A WEAPON.
[ Japanese .]
SEAVERS-SAN.
[ Japanese .]
[ Japanese .]
I WILL ONLY HOPE THA I DON'T KILL YOU, SEAVERS-SAN.
YEAH, WELL, I-I APPRECIATE THAT.
UM, ONE MORE THING, THOUGH.
IF I WIN, I GET THE GIRL, AND YOU FORGE ALL ABOUT THE RIOS AND THE MONEY, RIGHT? THAT WOULD GO VERY BADLY FOR ME WITH MY SUPERIORS.
BUT YOU WILL NOT WIN.
[ Martial Arts Yells .]
AT A TIME LIKE THIS, I WISH I REALLY DID HAVE SOME DEADLY MOVES.
SO DO I.
- YOU MUST COMPOSE YOURSELF, SEAVERS-SAN.
- KID, THROW ME THE BELT! NOT YOURS, JODY'S.
FAST! HEY! YOU HAVE A NEW WEAPON, SEAVERS-SAN.
[ Shouts .]
VERY RESOURCEFUL, SEAVERS-SAN.
- YOU'RE A PRETTY SCARY ENEMY, OH-SAN.
- I WISH IT WERE NOT SO.
- BUT IT IS.
- [ Shouts .]
YOU'D MAKE A HELL OF A STUNTMAN, OH-SAN.
[ Sword Clatters .]
KILL ME, SEAVERS-SAN.
KILL ME.
I'D RATHER SAVE A LIFE THAN WASTE ONE.
[ Siren Approaching .]
I'LL TAKE MY LEAVE OF YOU NOW, STUNTMAN.
DO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT MY PUNISHMENT.
- MY ORGANIZATION'S PUNISHMEN WILL BE HARD.
- WELL, I HOPE NOT TOO HARD.
SEAVERS-SAN, HAVE YOU EVER WORKED WITH JOHN WAYNE? ANOTHER HONORABLE MAN, OH-SAN.
YOU WOULD'VE MADE A GREAT YAKUZA.
- NO.
YOU KEEP IT.
- [ Pats Shoulder .]
[ Del .]
WE'VE GOT THE MONEY.
LET'S GE THE FIRST PLANE OUTTA HERE.
FIRST TIME I EVER FAILED TO GET MY MAN.
THAT REALLY BUGS ME.
COME ON! [ Howie .]
WELL, AT LEAS WE HAD A NICE VACATION.
I'M GLAD YOU DID.
MAY AS WELL FOR-- TALK ABOUT UGLY! [ Bobby Laughing .]
COME ON! THAT'S THE RIO BROTHERS! OH, SHOO-OO-OOT! EXCUSE ME.
PARDON ME.
EXCUSE ME.
SORRY.
EXCUSE ME.
RIOS! STOP! HEY, RIOS! HOLD IT! STOP! OH, WE GIVE UP! WE GIVE UP! BOY, I OUGHTA CUT YOUR EARS OFF.
NOW WHERE'S THAT MONEY? I GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
I GOT IT ALL FOR YA.
- THAT'S IT.
- YOU KNOW, THEY DON' LOOK HALF BAD.
LOVE THE LITTLE DANCE YOU WERE DOIN' BACK THERE.
I'D LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THAT.
- HUH? - COME ON.
DANCE.
ALOHA ALOHA AW, SHOOT.
ALOHA-- [ Man .]
FALL GUY IS A GLEN LARSON PRODUCTION.
