[ Music ]

Hey!

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Music ]

[ Laughter ]

[ Music ]

[ Clapping ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Music ]



I wouldn't give you

shit for it.

I understand when this place

ran, this whole place

was under water.

The water was too

freaking hot, too.

Yeah-- they say

they a got fish down

there with two heads.

Hey, what's this deal about,

uh, somebody looking for some

hired hands or something?

Ripped something off,



you know what I'm saying?

Well--

refresh on your drinks,

gentlemen?

No, doing okay, thanks.

Yeah, but I think they

hire depend on the need.

These guys understand

that they [ Indistinct ].

Yeah, how are they paying?

Who knows...

Part of the treasure.

Oh, I could use

some treasure.

We all could use

some treasure.

Swan: Somebody say something

about treasure?

What do you want, Sanjay?

Why don't you make

my friends and I one of

those black drinks you're

famous for, butt face?

You were saying?

Anyway, there's this place

called Interzone.

It's up in this hill.

They have no protection,

no protection at all.

We could go in there

and steal from them.

It's like takin'

candy from babies.

So, why didn't you go?

Yeah.

'Cause I don't work

for no boss, that's why.

No woman boss, anyway.

[ Music ]

So, you're not talking

about romanticizing?

She's got, like, arms like

this, she's about six feet tall

with this blonde hair and shit?

Mmm-hmm.

I don't blame ya.

Listen, that game is

gonna start pretty soon.

You wanna go play?

Let's get out of here.

[ Music ]

What kind of game is this?

Well, basically, you drink

the wrong drink, and--

[ music ]

Ahh!

[ Applause ]

You're kidding!

Wanna do it?

No!

Yeah!

[ Applause ]

Rat: [ Indistinct ].

New game!

New game!

You want adventure?

[ Applause ]

Come on.

[ Applause ]

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Okay.

For you-- for you.

For you.

Okay.

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Go!

Let's do it!

Ready, general?

[ Shrieking ]

Put in your ante's, please.

All right.

Okay.

Your basic Interzone white.

Okay!

[ Applause ]

We're good!

Come on!

[ Cheering ]

And you?

Here with me,

this, a golden shaver.

That's good!

[ Cheering ]

A watch.

It tells time perfectly.

Twice daily.

[ Laughing and applause ]

You, where's your ante?

Hey!

[ Music ]

What do you think about it?

It's great!

[ Applause ]

Begin!

[ Music ]

Hey!

You.

[ Music ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Applause ]

Ha-ha-- you!

[ Music ]

Hey.

Ha-ha-- ah-ah-ah!

[ Applause ]

[ Speaking foreign language]

I told you.

Spin again, huh?

You.

[ Music ]

Pick a glass.

Hey!

Nah-nah-nah-nah.

You're cheating.

Go on back.

Take your glass.

Hey!

[ Music ]

You son of a bitch!

[ Applause ]

Watch my eye!

Ohh!

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Balzakan: Treasure

is almost within reach.

Soon it will be ours, Mantis.

Mantis: You are

so right, Balzakan.

They don't stand a chance.

They look pathetic.

I think we shall waste them.

You are absolutely right.

Unite your mental forces

together, brothers.

That will protect the

treasure which will in turn

protect the Interzone.

Ready!

Fire!

Whoa-- whoa-- ho-- ho!

Whoa-- whoa-- whoa-- ho!

Damn them!

All miserable,

piss elegant fairies!

We're gonna see you dead.

[ Music ]

I am tired.

I feel that my time

is almost over.

[ Music ]

Reverend.

Yes, general?

You will take my place.

Take my hand.

My power is yours.

You must stop Mantis

and Balzakan from finding

their way through our shield

and stealing our treasure.

The treasure holds

the secret of life.

Without it, the Interzone

will collapse and all will die.

We cannot stop them,

but someone can...

A stranger in my dreams.

His name is Swan.

Panasonic, please come here.

Panasonic: I am here,

general.

You, Panasonic,

must find Swan.

You also were in the dream.

And the woman with gold hair

and eyes like the sky,

the three of you will save

the Interzone.

Where do I look, my general?

The Interzone is a big place.

Panasonic, i-- oh.

I-- oh-oh-oh.

I'll miss you, my general.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Ah!

Oh, no-- oh, no.

[ Indistinct ]

What do I do now?

I have failed my mission.

Ah, please forgive me,

my general.

I am so stupid.

[ Music ]

Oh, I'm sorry, my general.

Please forgive me.

Please-- help.

Please, forgive me.

[ Music ]

Please forgive me, my general.

I've got to leave-- please.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Take this.

It's just coffee.

Get your insides going.

You're lucky I came along

when I did.

So, where are you from?

Why are you dressed like that?

What's the matter?

Can't you speak?

I talk.

It doesn't matter now.

My people have a rule.

We never speak.

Sounds like a thrilling group

of people to be around.

We speak with the mind.

Okay, man.

You see, I am speaking to you

now, but my lips do not move.

That's simple.

Ventriloquism.

But I can read your mind.

Sure you can.

You are thinking

about a girl,

a beautiful girl.

Her hand reaching for you--

okay-- oh-okay.

Just hold it right

there, mister.

All right.

What am I thinking of now?

A dog-- a pet dog that died.

Bingo!

That was not his name.

I know.

Bingo, you're right.

I can't believe this.

Oh, we could make

a lot of money--

with your power and my brains.

Yes, maybe.

But first, you must do

for me a great task.

Piece of cake.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Yes.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

This is nuts.

Oh, yeah.

I take lessons all the time.

I'm selling them as one lot.

The flow.

So, what do we have here?

Ha-- good catch, huh?

What's that?

[ Speaking foreign language ]

I'm selling them

as one lot!

Servant, or moles, huh?

I don't understand

a word he says.

How about this one-- huh?

[ Music ]

You-- I remember you.

You are the game from cantina.

I want her.

How much you want to pay

for this bitch?

How about a couple

of welts, shithead.

What do you mean?

Ha-ha.

You give me the girl now,

you live.

You don't, you die.

Simple.

I think you are

a little crazy, my friend.

Anyone moves--

okay-- okay.

Cupcake here buys it.

Okay-- okay-- okay-- okay.

Okay.

[ Screaming ]

Christ!

Nice move.

Great, let's get out of here!

Get up!

Ah-- get!

What are you doing-- go!

Get that bastard!

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Come on-- come on!

Stake him-- get it!

Go-- go!

[ Music ]

Let's get out of here.

[ Music ]

Tera: Thanks for saving me.

[ Music ]

[ Indistinct ]

[ Music ]

Okay-- I'm gonna fire.

[ Music ]

Take the wheel!

Take the wheel!

[ Screaming ]

[ Music ]

Stop it-- stop it.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Eat this!

Suck on this!

[ Music ]

Don't let me disturb you

now from almost dying.

[ Music ]

Oh, shit!

Keep the car under control.

[ Music ]

That's rat!

[ Music ]

Oh-ho!

Yah!

Watch out-- he's coming!

Go-- go!

Aah!

[ Music ]

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Look, look-- look in front!

[ Music ]

So, we meet again.

What's your name?

Tera.

Hi, Tera.

What is your name?

Swan.

Hi, Swan.

Oh, no.

Oh, my beautiful car, no.

I'm going to kill him.

Yes, I'm going to kill to him!

Yes!

So you're saying your people

are responsible for

the treasure in the Interzone?

What exactly is

the Interzone?

It's this.

This 300 square mile area

of radio-active free land.

It's supposedly a freak

of nature.

If certain important items

are taken from the treasure,

the Interzone will collapse

and the whole fine distinction

will begin.

So, what exactly does

the treasure consist of?

I cannot say.

And I'm supposed to risk

my life?

I'm sorry.

You have to trust me.

Once we lived in peace with it,

in a complete mental

and spiritual retreat.

Then, they came.

Mantis and Balzakan and their

ferocious bands of savages.

They joined together to try and

beat it, and steal the treasure.

Mantis is a savage.

[ Applause ]

Shut up!

You really disappointed

me in bed.

What?

[ Laughter ]

That really bothers me.

But, I love you.

[ Laughter ]

Don't listen to them.

You promised me!

Sorry.

I changed my mind.

I think it's time for the hole.

No, no, no,

no, no!

If you can get out,

you can live.

Do you like him?

[ Roaring ]

[ Cheering ]

He said he loved me.

Not anymore.

[ Laughter ]

Mantis is a devil

who wears a dress.

What a slut.

And then there was Balzakan.

He loves to play

with people like a cat.

My only brother and

his wife happen to be--

Hello!

I seem to be out of water,

and I'm dying of thirst.

I could use a nice, long drink.

Oh.

Pregnant?

Uh-huh.

I think it's a boy.

I can tell, you know...

By the way they kick.

Do you want water or not?

[ Music ]

My brother took his life

the same day.

I am so sorry.

That's when you decided

to become a veteran.

Yes.

And that's why I will

do anything to help

you defeat them.

Just how many

warriors are there?

Not more than 60 or so.

Just child's play for you.

Oh, yeah,

that'll be no problem.

Now, we must sleep.

Here-- here

are some blankets.

Here-- I've got a coat.

[ Music ]

Get myself killed.

Why me?

I'm a nice guy.

Good-night, girl.

It is better, isn't it?

So far, so good.

You are a brave man, Swan.

I was afraid you

were gonna say that.

Now, let's get some sleep.

We have a big day tomorrow.

I was afraid you

were gonna say that.

[ Music ]

Tell me, how does it feel

when you are about to die?

Huh?

[ Laughter ]

All right?

I'm gonna blow your brains out,

and then I kill you.

[ Gunshot fires ]

[ Crying ]

Thank you.

Mary-- oh, god!

Ah-ha-ha-- muah-muah-muah.

Excuse me.

Are you finished?

Good-- stand up,

and take your clothes off.

What?

You heard me.

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Yes!

These?

No-no-no, leave those.

Okay.

Hand those to me.

Yes!

[ Speaking foreign language ]

Yeah-- thank you.

Thank you.

I'm very happy, thank you.

Have a nice [ Indistinct ].

I love you.

Thank you, god.

Thank you-- thank you.

[ Music ]

Okay-- I'm already

in this over my head.

We almost got

killed getting here.

Now, my guess is that

there's part of the treasure

that the Interzone

doesn't depend on.

Now, that's the part I want.

So there it is.

Take it or leave it.

I'm sorry.

Everyone listen to me.

Excuse me, but general electric

said nothing before dying

about giving away part

of the treasure as payment.

This man is to protect it,

not take it.

Swan?

You have a deal.

Good luck, son.

Oh, and by the way,

flat top goes with me.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

So, we've known each other

for, how long-- what?

48 hours.

I know it.

Seems it was just yesterday.

I-I-I know that I seem like

I'm probably much larger than

life, but I'm just a normal

guy who gets lucky sometimes.

Ha-- that Panasonic,

he hates waiting.

He's-- it makes him irrational.

You know you are my hero.

I guess- I guess so.

[ Music ]

You really handled

the flame thrower.

Huh, don't forget

about the bullwhip.

I would never forget

your bullwhip.

Anyway, I um-- just want

you to know that... when

you're with me, uh, your life

is going to be in total danger.

It's around every corner,

behind every tree.

A fox-- a sheep.

I don't care.

No-- you like that

sort of thing, do you?

I don't like it, I love it.

[ Gunshots firing ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

That's right, Tera.

The only way to destroy them

is to turn Mantis and

Balzakan against each other.

How do you plan

on doing that?

I have absolutely no idea.

[ Music ]

Thank you.

That's good.

I like that.

What have we got here?

Listen, I captured one

of the old men with regards

to the treasure and I

have an idea how to

get our hands on it.

Wait a minute.

I don't like fuzzy faced

foreigners, especially

ones with ideas.

To have ideas,

you have to have a brain.

Personally, I don't

think you have one.

And who do you think

you are, big boy?

All that matters

is the treasure.

Thanks for the gift.

I'd love to make

chop suey out of you.

Hold it, ass wipe.

Who the hell are you

calling "ass wipe?"

Stop.

Stop!

All right.

Tonight, you're coming to

my chambers and if you

fulfill my expectations,

your life will be spared.

Then maybe we can talk treasure.

Swan!

Who the hell is this?

Nobody.

It's a slave, that's all.

Maybe I'll have her later.

And him.

Torture him.

As you wish.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

[ Music ]

Okay, baby.

Let's see what you got.

Jack: Hi, Fred.

Fred: Jack.

How you doing?

Not bad.

You working out?

Little bit.

Can I have a puff

of that cigarette?

Sure would like to be

manhandled by that Mantis.

Just listen to him.

Yeah, you know it!

Gee, what've you been doing?

You look great.

Where do you work out?

I'd sure like to get

in shape like you are.

You're in pretty

good shape, though.

Yeah, yeah.

But you know how it is.

You always want to get better.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Panasonic-- Panasonic?

Tera.

Shh-- I was

worried about you.

How are you?

I am fine.

Ah, that Tera.

I take these off for you.

What are you trying to do?

I'm-I'm gonna kill him.

That's what I'm going to do.

Why would you kill him?

Your master will never find

the treasure without him.

He is not my master.

I am not a slave.

He betrayed me.

You-- you will take his place.

What do you mean?

Will you take me?

Well, that depends on

your definition of take.

You take me,

and we get the treasure.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Cheering ]

Okay, baby.

I've done my duty.

Now why don't we get down

to something more important,

like treasure?

Like the hole?

And if you can get out alive,

you can be my lover for life.

And if you don't?

Well, you're not gonna

be good for anyone.

Wait a minute, I thought the

rule was if I satisfied you--

I have got a new rule.

Uh, listen, baby cakes--

I would love to be part

of the new rule making--

maybe you'd like to know

a little bit about gray.

I know, I know,

let's just get this over with.

Okay-- well, let me show

you now something you've

got to look forward to.

Come on out, honey.

I got a little appetizer

for you.

Come on.

Now, Grant, don't be rude.

Remember, it's just

an appetizer.

Maybe he wants

a first course.

[ Screaming ]

[ Laughter ]

Now, it's your turn.

But be careful in there.

I think you're swell.

Me, too-- gotta go.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Okay-- I killed him.

Can I come out now?

[ Music ]

[ Applause ]

My hero.

No-no-no, let's just

talk about the treasure.

But, baby, the barrier.

There's a weakness

in the barrier.

Anybody from the

outside breaks through,

the barrier is destroyed.

You get the treasure.

[ Cheering ]

You can do better than this.

All right, skin head.

So there's a weak point

in the barrier, is there?

I can't believe this.

I really don't believe this.

You know, it was balls

you called him in a way.

You're going to

pay big for this.

I never trusted him.

Yeah, well-- let's go.

Don't poke.

The next one's in your mouth.

Balzakan!

Mantis.

Wanted the treasure

for yourself?

I was just getting him

to tell us how to get it,

for both of us.

Oh, come on.

You don't believe that.

He's obviously made

a deal with the wench.

That slut over there!

What?

Ah-- ha-ha-ha!

Let's dominate 'em!

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Just a little too confident.

You had to call me "a slut?"

Well, it worked!

[ Music ]

Hurry!

I can see it-- wait!

You're fine.

Panasonic, I want you

to go back to the veterans.

Tera, you go with him.

I have to blow up

their ammo supply.

You never should have told

them about the weak point

of the barrier.

Weak point in the barrier?

You're kidding.

I made that up.

I must help you.

No, listen.

I'll be all right.

You... you nut.

I gotta go.

I'm going with him.

Panasonic, you must keep

an eye on Swan and Tera.

Yes, but, where are you?

[ Music ]

What are you doing?

I don't want to leave you.

[ Music ]

Let's go.

You ready, babe?

Yes-- I love you and

that will never change.

Let's go.

[ Music ]

Maybe I should have stayed

with Panasonic.

"Maybe I should have stayed

"with Panasonic."

[ Music ]

[ Cheering ]

Did you really think we would

believe those lies, Swan?

James!

[ Music ]

When you fall, she fries.

Why don't you tell everybody

what you told me

in bed last night...

About your special touch?

He's all yours now, Balzakan.

I'm really going

to enjoy this.

[ Music ]

No!

[ Music ]

Look-- you killed her.

No!

[ Music ]

Oh, my friend...

What a terrible thing.

I am in debt to you.

Panasonic, I killed her.

No, my friend, it wasn't you.

Please, give me the power

to save him.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

What have you done?

I did what needed to be done.

You must save the Interzone

and the treasure.

Remember, one cannot exist

without the other.

Like you and I, my friend.

Now, don't get corny.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Well, what are you?

A bunch of wimps?

I want that door down, now.

We have to blow it up.

No problem-- I got it.

Fool.

What are you trying to do?

Destroy the treasure?

[ Music ]

Go on!

You'll choke to death.

Let's get out of here!

I don't believe it.

I just don't believe it.

You have two choices.

Run or you can run.

Good choice.

[ Music ]

Hmm-- self-detonating hump.

[ Music ]

You're supposed to be dead.

Not very fair, is it?

I suppose that doesn't

make any difference to you.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Not bad-- not bad.

You know how you're

gonna die?

I'm gonna crush your throat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna hit you so hard,

your dog's gonna die.

[ Music ]

Come on!

[ Music ]

Ah!

[ Music ]

I was expecting you.

Got the treasure now.

You know, we're a lot alike.

We're both dominators in

this world, aren't we?

Why don't you join me?

Together, and the treasure.

We can rule the Interzone.

Oh, baby, you're hurt.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

Looks like this is

the final chapter.

Depends on which book

you read.

[ Music ]

[ Music ]

This is a message for

the future generations of

the human race, if there is any.

This is the year zero for her.

The great madness has destroyed

everything and soon,

all will be ashes.

This testimony to our

civilization will remain

to show how we once lived.

My men and I have gathered what

we can to get the most beautiful

things that man created.

Here, you can read, study,

examine and understand them

so that you will never--

all you see here is

from our past.

Without it, there is no future.

Swan, you may take what you

want from our treasure.

I had a treasure...

A loyal friend...

And a woman I loved.

[ Music ]

Oh, god-- you're alive!

Yeah!

You're breathing.

You're alive!

Panasonic?

[ Music ]

What do we do now?

Hmm-- I have a great idea.

[ Music ]
