[SCREAMS]
Stupid fool. He let him escape.
I shall have to
teach him a lesson.
[SCREAMING IN FOREIGN DIALECT]
[BARKS]
[SCREAMING]
[BANDIT BARKING]
Quiet, Bandit.
How do you expect
me to concentrate
with you yapping?
It's all right, Jonny.
Even with Bandit
quiet, you were losing.
[GROWLING]
You're sure a
persistent pup, Bandit.
What's eating you, anyway?
[GROWLING]
Oh, he won't stop
till we go with him.
Come on, Hadji.
I don't see anything
[SCREAMING]
Look, over there.
[SCREAMING]
I'll get the boat
hook. You call Dad.
Dr. Quest, Race, come quick!
But I'm not sure I understand.
You do not want
us to go to island?
No, no
No go. Bad, bad
dragons Big
Big dragons.
Wow, did you hear
that, Hadji? Dragons!
Of course
and naturally,
they breathe fire.
DOCTOR: These dragons
They're big
lizards, aren't they?
MAN: Big. Oh,
very big, yes. yes.
RACE: Why shouldn't
we go ashore?
Oh, Dr. Ashida bad,
bad man and kill.
No go, no go.
Well, one thing's certain
The poor fellow's
terrified of Ashida.
Ashida bad, bad
Ashida He's the guy you
came to see, isn't he, Dad?
Hardly a "guy", Jonny.
Dr. Ashida's
a most respected scientist.
He's quite well-known
for his zoological work,
isn't he, sir?
DOCTOR: Very well known.
It's all right. We'll go ashore.
You can stay on board ship.
You'll be safe here.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
The next time you
disobey my orders,
I will feed you to my pets.
You may rise, great fat fool.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Yes?
Quest is here, lord.
Ah, Dr. Quest. Great
news. Show him in
and be quick about it.
Yes, lord.
It is such a great honor
to welcome you here
to my humble dwelling,
Dr. Quest.
We are honored to be received
so cordially, Dr. Ashida.
Everything on Ashida is yours.
You call the island
Ashida, doctor?
Why not?
I own it.
What better name
can a man give his land
than his own?
Come, I will show you around.
[BARKS]
So you have no idea
why that native would
be so afraid of you?
None, unless he has run amok.
They do sometimes, you know.
He spoke of dragons.
Ah, yes.
My dragons.
Yours?
Mine.
Now, here, Dr. Quest,
is what my
experiments began with.
Beautiful, isn't it?
[BANDIT BARKS]
DOCTOR: Quiet, Bandit.
Do you recognize the
species, Dr. Quest?
The Tobura lizard.
Exactly.
In danger of becoming extinct
when I came here 20 years ago.
[GROWLING]
JONNY: Quiet, boy.
In you go, little one.
Now, this next one is
the same Tobura lizard,
but after two generations
of improved genes-control.
Watch.
[GROWLING]
Huh, he's a charming fellow.
ASHIDA: Yes, isn't he?
ASHIDA: Next is
my crowning glory.
I have to keep them in pits.
I don't have cages big enough.
[GROWLING]
DOCTOR: Incredible.
It's as big as a crocodile.
14 feet, 7 inches
from nose to tail.
And all my own, doctor.
If any species can be said
to owe its existence
to an outside service,
then the Ashida dragon
owes its life to me.
[LAUGHS]
Wow. What do they eat?
They would eat you,
my boy, if I let them.
[LAUGHS]
[GROWLS]
Oh, your little friend
would be a great delicacy
for them too.
[WHIMPERS]
[ASHIDA LAUGHS]
They are flesh eaters,
you know, young man
and cannibalistic as well.
There is only one man
who can control them
Sumi!
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
I do not believe it, Jonny.
He is like the cyclops of old.
ASHIDA: This one's name is Sumi,
keeper of my dragons
and champion
wrestler in all the world.
Is that not so, Sumi?
He has never been defeated.
RACE: I sure wouldn't
like to meet him
in a dark alley.
Uh-huh.
I do not keep him around
for his looks, Mr. Bannon.
My dragons are not sensitive.
They do not mind his ugliness.
Tell me, doctor,
the native who swam
out to the schooner
Would his tribe be
dragon worshipers,
by any chance?
How perceptive of you.
The natives here
worshipped Kama-Tomo,
a dragon effigy.
That was before I took
over. I gave them a new god.
Now they worship me.
[LAUGHS]
Come, gentlemen.
Let us begin the contest.
Contest?
This is my survival pit, doctor.
Surely you don't
think my dragons grew
to their present
size by accident.
As you know, in nature,
only the strong survive.
I give nature a helping hand.
[LAUGHS]
You pit one beast
against another?
Exactly,
in a fight to the death.
The victor devours
the vanquished.
Watch.
Prepare the beasts.
Are you going to make a
couple of them fight now?
Of course.
And it's not a question
of "making" them fight.
They know no other way of life.
[ROARING]
It's all in the interests
of science, anyway.
[LAUGHS]
DOCTOR: I don't happen
to approve of this, Dr. Ashida.
Let's go, Race, boys.
Very well.
If your western
stomachs cannot stand it,
we shall postpone the duel.
Sumi
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[GROWLS]
We have a different perspective.
We feel the same way
whether the objects
be four-footed or two-legged.
Only the strong survive.
This is why I work out
with Sumi every day.
Work out?
Judo karate
Sumi retired undefeated
in over a thousand bouts.
He calls me his finest pupil.
It is too bad you
do not understand
our way of fighting,
Quest, my friend.
I understand it, Dr. Ashida.
Really? Then let's
have a match
but I warn you
I am most expert.
You're not serious, are you?
I outweigh you by 20 pounds.
Ah, bigness means very little
in judo, Mr. Bannon.
It will be interesting
to have an opponent
other than Sumi.
Prepare yourself, Bannon.
Before we get
into this too far
are you sure you want to
Your answer, Mr. Bannon.
Hey, that wasn't fair.
Some of my moves may
seem a little unorthodox to you,
such as this!
Oh, come now.
You can kick higher than that
[GRUNTS]
JONNY: Hurray for Race!
That's enough.
I agree, doctor.
I disagree.
We will stop when I am ready.
As you wish.
[CRASHES AND SHATTERS OBJECTS]
Can we call this thing off now?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I concede to you, Bannon,
and to your superior ability.
You have won.
It may interest you to learn
I have never before
been defeated at judo.
It is a new feeling for me
not that I mind, you understand.
I applaud your talents,
Mr. Bannon, and now
I shall have Himoki
show you to your room.
Show our guests
to their quarters.
Dinner will be
served in one hour.
Race, boys
as you know, I planned to
stay in this area several days.
Right, Dad.
DOCTOR: Well, I'm
going to change the plans.
We're leaving here.
Why, doctor?
Principally, our host.
He has changed radically
from when I knew him before.
Right.
As far as I'm concerned, doctor,
the guy's flipped his wig.
That's a possibility, Race,
but sane or not, Ashida has
become a very dangerous man,
and one the authorities
should be made aware of.
When do we leave, sir?
I'm for right now.
The sooner, the better.
Let's go.
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
HADJI: Shh, Jonny.
JONNY: Don't tell
me. Tell the door.
[GROWLING]
JONNY: Shh, boy.
Let's not advertise
ourselves, shall we.
[WHIMPERS]
Okay, okay, so you're sorry.
So far, so good.
[ANIMAL GROWLING]
RACE: Listen.
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
RACE: Well, I
guess it's as clear
as it's ever going to be.
Let's move out.
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
What's that noise, Dad?
HADJI: I hear it too.
DOCTOR: I don't know,
but keep your eyes open.
[GROWLING]
Look, dragons.
Head for a tree, boys.
Hurry, Jonny.
[GROWLING]
[ASHIDA LAUGHING]
Call them back, Sumi!
[SUMI SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
My, my
what manners you
Americans possess.
You were leaving without
telling me goodbye.
And had I not, merely by chance,
been nearby,
I shudder to think what
might have befallen you.
[GROWLING]
Those lizards make
good watchdogs,
don't they, Ashida?
Ah, you noticed
that, Mr. Bannon?
How complimentary of you.
Yes, Sumi releases a dozen or so
each night.
It ensures a sound sleep for me.
In short,
you will leave
when I give the word
and not before!
You don't fool us.
You couldn't take
getting beaten at
judo, could you?
I would not talk of
beating if I were you,
my barbarian friend.
I will make you a sporting
proposition, Quest.
If your man, Bannon,
can stand up to my Sumi,
then you may leave.
Me and that portable skyscraper?
I bet you want odds too.
Ah, no, Bannon.
I am a true sportsman.
Defeat Sumi and
you win your freedom.
You got yourself a fight.
No, Race, I can't allow it.
What other choice
have we, doctor?
All right, Ashida,
bring on your
man-mountain any time.
No mistakes this time, Sumi.
I want that look of superiority
wiped off their faces.
After that, I shall decide at
leisure what to do with them.
You can't do it,
Race. He'll kill you.
Let's face it, doctor.
If he doesn't, that
two-bit mad scientist will.
So what have we got to lose?
At least I've got a chance.
DOCTOR: A hundred
to one, perhaps.
That's better than nothing.
Let's not give up
before we start.
Come, Bannon. It's time.
Sumi
Now, you will abide
by the green belt rules
for champions.
No quarter shall be given.
None shall be asked.
Let the exhibition begin.
This should be most interesting,
don't you agree, doctor?
[GRUNTING]
HADJI: Look out, Race!
[GRUNTS]
[SUMI SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[CONTINUES TO SPEAK
FOREIGN DIALECT]
[RACE CRASHES ONTO FLOOR]
Gosh
Race looks unconscious.
[LAUGHING]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[MOANS]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[RACE CRASHES ONTO FLOOR]
I should never have
allowed him to do this.
Call off your man, Ashida.
RACE: No, Dr. Quest
I'm not finished yet!
[GRUNTS]
Get up, you fool.
[MOANS]
Come on, you ugly mug,
stop lying down on the job.
[GRUNTS]
[SUMI CRASHES ONTO FLOOR]
[GRUNTS]
[SHOUTING IN FOREIGN DIALECT]
And [MIMICS LANGUAGE] to you
[SCREAMS]
Kill him! Kill him!
[SUMI MOANS]
[BANDIT YELPS]
[GRUNTING]
There's only one way to stop
a freight train like that:
head on!
[GRUNTING]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
Wow, a flying tackle.
Hold on to him, Race.
Surrender?
[GRUNTS]
He will never surrender.
He knows what
would happen to him
if he did.
Come on, surrender.
Surrender!
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
You were terrific, Race.
I was praying for you.
[BARKS]
I don't know how
you did it, Race,
but you were magnificent.
RACE: And lucky.
Congratulations, Bannon.
Someday you must
teach me that new hold.
Yeah, someday.
We're leaving, as
per the arrangement.
So? As I think I said,
you will leave when I allow it.
And not one moment before.
Kuro Hideki!
Yes, lord?
Prepare the special room.
Dr. Quest's party
will be my guests
for a while longer.
[LAUGHS]
At once, lord.
[ASHIDA LAUGHS]
What do we do now?
We wait. There's
nothing else we can do.
[BARKING]
[GROWLS]
[DOOR CREAKS]
HADJI: Look, the door.
It is open, Dr. Quest.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's go!
DOCTOR: Not so fast, Jonny.
What do you think, Race
A trap?
I sure do, doctor.
I think he wants us to leave
so he can set his lizards on us.
And you want to oblige him?
We don't have a choice, doctor.
I can stall them
just long enough
to give you and the
kids a fighting chance
to reach the cliffs.
From there you can
swim out to the schooner.
And leave you to face
those beasts by yourself?
I'll be right behind
you, doctor.
Don't worry.
I'm not anxious to
furnish a meal for them.
I agree, but only for
the sake of the boys.
All right. Let's go.
[DOOR CREAKS]
JONNY: All clear.
So far, so good.
Not far enough. That's
the whole trouble.
RACE: Shh.
I think Ashida is
out to get me first.
When we spot the dragons,
I'm sure he'll have
Sumi chase me.
That'll give you your chance.
Listen. I think I hear them.
[DRAGONS GROWLING]
Okay, now, doctor. Good luck.
And to you, Race.
Let's go, boys.
RACE: Hey!
Over here, fatso!
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
RACE: Hey, you!
[GRUNTS]
You're going the
wrong way, ugly.
[SHOUTS]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
I wish I had
something to fight with.
Hey
Maybe that rock's the answer.
You're a way off.
But you're getting warm.
[GRUNTS]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
Sure could use a
bombsight right now.
[ROCK CRASHES]
[SUMI GRUNTS]
One down, and one to go.
[DRAGON GROWLS]
Boy, what a beautiful sight.
[GROWLING]
Uh-oh. Company.
[SUMI SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
[SUMI CACKLING]
I'd better make it good,
because I won't
get another chance.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]
Sorry I can't stay, Sumi.
[SHOUTING IN FOREIGN DIALECT]
So you let them get away.
I warned you what I would do.
Kneel, you stupid ox,
and take your punishment.
ASHIDA: Sumi, do as I say.
Put me down.
Do you hear me,
Sumi? Put me down!
I'll have you fed
to the dragons.
Stop!
[CACKLING]
I warn you, I'll
[SCREAMS]
We owe you our lives, Race.
We were lucky, doctor.
But from now on,
I'd rather leave
the dragon slaying
to St. George.
Dad, how long do you think
Ashida can get away
with this crazy stuff?
I don't know, Jonny,
but things always
seem to even up.
I have a hunch Ashida's dragons
might even take
care of him one day.
He'll pay for his crimes
one way or another.
