Moon Warriors (1992) - full transcript

A simple fisherman helps a fugitive King in a fight, and offers him refuge in a hideout near his fishing village. When the King's group is attacked by his usurper brother, the fisherman is sent to find the King's betrothed, the daughter of the Emperor, and bring her back. On the journey love blossoms between the fisherman and the Emperor's daughter. Meanwhile the King's beautiful advisor seems to be in love with him, despite the fact that she is a traitor sent to kill him by the evil brother.

Don't drink the water from the well!
It might be poisonous

Please drink mine first

Your Majesty

All the people of this town have been
slaughtered

just like the former one

They want to kill us all!

Leaving no space for us to rest

Take off

I finally found you! Get out

Stop it

Fuck off



Don't you dare to escape

Don't be so tough

That the Fourteenth Prince

Your Majesty, are you alright?

I'm fine

So much blood

Your Majesty! Please look

Are you alright?

Thank you for your kind help

It's okay! Who are those people?

We don't know!
Why don't you ask them?

Thank you for your advice

You're badly wounded

So it's better if you come to my place
for medicine



I live near the town of fishermen

Thank you! We're in a hurry

Hurry? But there's no more way to go

Come to my place to rest
and to eat something

Don't you want to know who we are?

How dare you to invite us just like this?

You might not want to tell me the truth

and I don't want to hear lies, either

Your Majesty, do you think

it's okay that we go to his place?

We'll be very careful

Hey! The shark soup is ready

Come on! Eat the soup

Stop playing! Eat your soup

Please take care of the fire

Sure

Thanks

Uncle Fu! Big Tom! Little Tom!
Come here!

Coming! Is the soup ready?

This is the tender part of the fish.

I forgot to bring it last time

Thank you!

You two have to learn how to fish

Help yourself

Have some soup first

It's not poisonous

I'm asking you

You won't understand

There's another kind of shark
that's poisonous

Thank you

Help yourself. I have to serve
the others now

Philip! There's lots more

Take it home

Your soup tasted great

Yeah, and nutritious as well

Hey! What's your name?

Yen, Shih-San! And yours?

Philip! I grew up here

Where are you from?

Nomadic people

What's that supposed to mean?

A noble of olden time could be
today's beggar

Noble? Beggar? I don't get it

The woman who came with you
is calling you!

Your Majesty. Please have some soup

You have some, too.
You must be exhausted

Your Majesty is so kind-heated
those villains are so cruel

Let's live here, stop competing with them

We stay here

No way! I can't leave my poor citizens

I must meet the lord of Lanling

and unite his power

I haven't seen him for years already

I wonder how's life with Moony?

I really miss her

But I don't want her to wander with me

Don't worry! I've been watching him

He seems to be an honest young man

Did I say he's vicious?

Philip! Let me help you

It's you! Thank you

let me do it

Why don't you take up all your net?

It's the fishermen's custom not to kill all

This is a good and merciful deed

You should know that

Yes, I know it, but you are doing it

Attack, my cannons

The horses will defend

Advance, my escorted carriages

Two cannons unite as one

The killer is here

I know my fault

Idiots! Can't you do something right?

What's use of keeping you?

General! Go search the bamboo grove

Arrest them all

Sea-Wayne, be good

Philip

Yen! You got up so early

You're even earlier

I got used to it

I come here every morning
with my friend

He is Sea-Wayne

Does he understand your words?

Of course! Check this

Sea-Wayne, come

Don't embarrass me

Watch carefully

Who are they?

My enemies! See you soon

Don't take that way! They'll get you

I know a safe place. Follow me

Yen, we're getting near, come on

Follow me

This way

I bet you didn't know there could be
such a nice place

Follow me

Here we are

They... You needn't to kneel down

Shut up! Kneel down

What are you doing?

This is the royal tomb of our ancestor
emperors

Who are you?

He's our emperor

I don't believe you

How dare you

If he were the emperor

he wouldn't be so desperate?

Also, he didn't even know
this the tomb of his ancestors

This is absurd

The reason why His Majesty is here

This is because his throne is deprived
by the others

He didn't know this place

is because his ancestors were
afraid of grave plunders

So they built 72 faked tombs in total

Really?

Oh, no! I often came here for fun

Your Majesty

You may stand up

Thanks, Ten! Oh, no! I mean
Your Majesty

I'm sorry! I don't know how to
speak politely

I allow you to call me the way you
used to

That's great! Hey! Let's...

But you say hey to the emperor, either

I'm used to do that

Hey! Hey!

Oh, right! Philip!

Yes?

How did you discover this place?

Just a coincident

I was playing with Sea Wayne one day

and I discovered the place

This place is connected to the seashore

Don't think too much

Hide yourselves here. Nobody will
find you

No! That villain is very aggressive

I must meet the lord of Lanling

before he goes to him

Philip, is there any shortcut to
the western countryside?

Yes

Go get ready! We'll take off immediately

I thought you were not able to catch up
Let's go

This way

Kneel down and keep quiet

Kneel down, Kneel down

Don't move without my order

Who is that?

My royal brother

Your royal brother?

You must kneel down when
the emperor comes

How far is the nearest town?

About 60 miles away

60 miles?

What are these fishermen doing here?

Ask them to look up

Oh! It's my royal brother!
Please stand up

How dare you to think of regaining
the country with so few people?

Few people can compete your
thousands army

I've always thought the one
who always runs around

like a homeless dog is you

After all, we're brothers

I never expected you to be so cruel

You deprived my throne

And ruled the country with
your bloody hands

making the people suffer

Please stop it

Need to say no more, my dear brother

Go back to your cave

and keep on dreaming

It's never too late to take the revenge

The best way to defend is to be
below the ground

Well said! But the best way to attack is
to be on the ground

Philip! Merlin!

I'll meet you later at Lanling

Philip! Take this jade

and go to see the lord of Lanling
and his daughter

Trust me!

I'll bring them to you

Your Majesty

Go now! I'll be fine!

Leave!

Merlin! Get ready

So high

Lift it up! Higher

We'll wait for the wind to blow hard

Now

So high

Look at my kite

The lord of Lanling

The lord of Lanling

The thirteenth prince ordered me
to notify you

that the Fourteenth Prince is coming
to kill you

You should recognize this

Moony

Yes?

I'm flying the kite now

come back soon

Higher! Higher!

Higher! Higher!

Moony, come on quickly

Look! It dropped down

Go pick it up

Yes

Dad! Were you asking for me?

Go meet the Thirteenth Princess now

Why?

Just hurry! I'll send my men later

Why should I go with these strangers?

Don't you want to see Yen?

Can I take them with me?

Come back soon

Hey! Get back

Traitors! Vicious devils

How dare you to be so ferocious?

Moony! Hurry up

Hurry

Philip! Take her with you.

I'll catch up later

Did you sit down?

So much blood! It can't be washed off

And blood here also?

Oh, no! So much cleaning work

You seen to be so quiet and shy

but you didn't hesitate to kill

It's my first time killing people

Why do the villains have so much blood?

Even a fish has blood

Clean this off for me

You have to use rice

Rice? That's for eating

Ah, forget it

Stop crying! How come all women
always cry?

Please don't cry

Why are you so mean?

First time killing people?

Perfect skill! Good student

Big deal

How delicious

What's this?

Try it! It's very tasty

It tastes sour! What kind of meat is this?

Anteater

Don't waste such precious food

Don't you have chicken or pork?

How about fish?

Sorry! We don't have so many choices
for you

We're refugees

Toast it completely

So you won't feel sour

Look! The bats are afraid of fire

Think before you talk

Bats are blind

They are blind! Then why...

Who are you?

Philip

Watch out

Why did you shout my name?

I was scared

He was with you

Be careful I'll make it brighter for you

What are you doing with the torch?

I'm afraid you can't see it clearly

Come to help me

Did you see where he is?

No

Who is he?

Another man who works for
the Fourteenth Prince

I didn't ask you. Be quiet

Great! The horse is still here. Let's go

Get on the horse! What's wrong?

Nobody rides on the horse before I do

You want me to come down first

After you get on, I'll ride on then?

No! I ride on the horse! You walk

I've never seen such a weirdo
Okay, get on

Hey, Miss! Don't waste my time

Who do you think you are?

How dare you to command me?

I am the Princess of Lanling

Don't you know

I'm Philip the only son of the head of
the Shrimp Village

I'm the only heir to the throne

I'm a princess, don't you understand?

I'm the only heir to the throne

of the Big Shrimp Village and
Small Shrimp Village

I'm also the owner of the Yellow
Flower Fishing-pond

Can't you see?

I'm a close friend of your prince

Yen, Shih-San

Both your and my countries
exchange gifts every year

Don't you know?

No! I only know I'm the kin

to the Big Oak Tree who lives
in the other town

And I'm the long term client of
the local market

I always buy lots of fish and crabs

I don't think you know that, either

You...

You... What? Get on the horse

Don't you think I'm scared of you

Hey!

Hey! I was joking

Where are you?

Now I'm scared of you. Princess!
Come out

Princess! Where are you?

Princess

Princess! I was just joking
come back quickly

Please come back, Princess

Princess

Princess! Are you alright?

Philip

Philip! What's wrong?

I'm fine

You're bleeding

I'm wounded. I can't take care
of you now

You must go to the royal tomb now

I want to go with you

Philip! You...

I want to be with you

It's all my fault

I'm selfish and bad-tempered

You can't die like this

Put me down

I'll take you out

You don't have enough strength

Yes, I do. I'll carry you on my back

Philip

Princess! You're too weak

We'll both die

No! I won't leave you here

Philip

Don't die! Philip

I'll carry you out of here

This path seems familiar to me

Be quiet

Philip! Be strong

It's not here

I don't get it

We'll find the exit

How come it's here again?

Every way seems to be the same

Which is the way?

Philip! Be strong

Which is the way?

Oh, no! You're still bleeding

There's blood everywhere

The bloody roads are the ones
we tried already

So we should try the clean roads now

I understand now! Philip, stay with me

We'll go out

Philip! We finally found the exit

Philip! Wake up! Philip

We just have to try him

Philip! Don't move! You'll be alright

What is this? So comfortable

It's the magic powder

made of the melted shellfish in sea

I know! It's called as the blue tear drop

What a beautiful name!

Who named it?

I did! Just now

I'm the wisest man in my town

Did you know it can be used to
heal wounds?

No! Are you hurt?

You were so ferocious

As if you didn't even care about
your own safety

I...

I promised Yen

that I'll bring you to him

Just because of him?

Because of you

What's the sound?

The sound is made by the jade

Yours got the low tone

Mine has the high tone

As long as they're together

they'll make sound within the wind

Let me see

You didn't tell me this

I never knew that jade can make sound

It's called as jade-ling-long

Ling means the sound

and long stands for it's brightness

This is marvelous

They could be a pair

They are made as a pair

I have one, and Yen has one

Your Majesty!

I know my fault

You really changed

I beat you so badly, but in your eyes

I find no more hatred as I used to

What made you changed?

Did you fall in love with the
thirteenth prince?

No! I'll never dare to

Then why

After being together with him for so long

You didn't kill him yet?

I plan to get rid off his followers first

Then kill him

Today is the seventh

If by the fifteenth the full moon night

You still can't bring his head to me

You'll have to drink this poison

Your Majesty

The full moon night will be the
night of death

All my problems should be solved

There might be lots of dead bodies
buried under these flowers

How do you know?

That's what everybody says

that soil becomes fertilized
as dead bodies are buried in

More wild flowers would grow from it

You mean there are dead bodies
under these beautiful flowers?

Yeah

I don't believe you, liar

Be good

What's wrong?

Nothing, just a trap set up by the hunters

Wait for me! There's another one
over there

Don't be scared!

Don't be scared! This rabbit won't move

Can I keep it?

Sure! Let's go!

The lonely rabbit keeps on seeking
for partners

Your words are so profound
I never understand

You see, there's a rabbit

All by himself, along and lonely

So he keeps on looking around

hoping he'll find someone to be his mend

What's the next sentence?

There should be, but I forgot

Your Majesty! K know my fault

Why didn't you come back with Philip
and Moony?

It was an urgent situation, so we decided
to retreat in separate directions

I believe they'll arrive

I don't worry about Philip

But Moony...

They'll be safe. Don't worry

Fine! Go rest now

Excuse me

Merlin! Are you alright?

I'm fine! Thank you

See? That's my hometown

Isn't it beautiful?

It certainly is

I grew up here

Really?

I'll take you home to rest

Is it okay with you?

Have you ever tried spicy shark soup?

Spicy shark soup?

You have to use a big pot to cook
a big fish

It's right down here

Moony

Yen

Moony

Yen

Moony

Yen

Are you alright?

Fine! Where have you been
all these years?

I'll tell you later

We won't ever be separated again

Okay

Philip! Come here

Yes

Are you cold? Put on my clothes

You're still like a child

Where is the rabbit from?

Philip gave it to me

Philip?

Yeah! The lonely rabbit is seeking
for partners

Right! That's true

New friend is silver, old friend is gold

What's that supposed to mean?

That means

It's nice to have new friends

but old friends are more precious

Do you understand?

Moony! Come with me

Philip! You'll ride on that horse

Let's go back to the royal tomb

I have a good news to announce

I decided to advance the wedding
of my daughter

and the thirteenth Prince of your country

They'll get married in this autumn

And we shall unite the military force
of our countries

to demolish the traitor

Long live the emperor

There's one more announcement

From now

I decided to have Philip as my general

Yen...

No! I don't think I'm capable enough

And I never wanted to become
a government official

I like go fishing with my neighbors

Philip, if you don't want to work
for the government

you can still stay here

and be my friend

Yen, I'm a peasant

To me, there's no place like home

Come to me

if you need me

I'll always stand by you

Good-bye

It's you sit down

Do you still remember the song?

Yes

It's such a beautiful town! So romantic

Alone, facing the sea

With a pot, a fish, and it turns out
to be fish soup

Do you call this romantic?

But you can always see the divine light

Come on! I only saw it once

When I got hurt last time

But once is forever

I agree

Once is enough

So was the wound and divine light

Who is it?

This is for you

Why?

Don't you like the sound it makes?

Thank you

Though one piece of jade can only
make simple sound

but along with your flute
it will be musical

Great! It will go fishing with me

When the wind blows

The jade will sound romantically

I have to go back

Let's us start it now

Start what?

Start to end

Yeah! It's about time to end

Farewell

Good-bye

Philip

Yen! You haven't slept yet

How could I? The moon is so beautiful

Thank you for bringing Moony to me

Did you have any problems in the trip?

No! I don't remember...

That's good

Philip! I decided to get married
in this autumn

You must come to my wedding

I must go fishing with Uncle Fu
in autumn

Maybe I can't come

Come to my wedding

But I can't break fishermen's promise

Alright!

This is for you

Jode-ling-long

We're getting married soon

She'll always be by my side

You can keep this

Thank you

Merlin?

Moony

What's wrong with them?

I don't know, either

But you were here when I came in

What? I just returned home

What do you do to the beach?

Did I say I went to the beach?

Don't deny that you were dating
with Philip

I went to farewell him and thank him

for bringing me here

Oh! Farewell on the beach?

Yes, I went to the beach

Who stayed in the royal tomb?

What do you mean?

One of us assault, and the other is a spy

How dare you

Stop it

How can you fight when our enemy
is coming

Please forgive me

Yen, we have a spy here

You hurt your hand?

Yes, and it was you who hurt me

I didn't stab at your hand

Besides, this is an old wound

I suspect, that she was the person
in black clothes we saw

I don't know what you're talking about

She just met Philip at the beach

I think they're the spies

Shut up

No one can insult Philip and Moony

Please forgive me

Please rest now

Yen! I...

Your Majesty! The traitor is coming soon

Please leave quickly

Us?

My death won't be nothing

I'll stay here to fight them

Merlin! I know you've always
be loyal to me

As soon as we recover the country
you'll be rewarded

It's my duty to protect you

I'll bury these bodies at the hill

Common civilians should not die
in the royal tomb

Long live the emperor

Take off

Stop it

Why are you doing this?

Kill...

No

Stop! You can't kill anyone

Are you alright?

Don't

Go

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

What happened to you?

The traitor broke into the village

They'll attack the royal tomb soon

We're such dear brothers

I follow you everywhere you go

Merlin! Take Moony away! Hurry

Merlin! Even you betrayed me

I still admire you

Because you made my brother
trust you much

You've been always using people
manipulating them

Any man with some conscience
would betray you

The only thing you have in your mind
is to be the emperor

Have you ever cared about your
countrymen

and their sufferings?

If it weren't you, always trying
to recover the country

I would have ruled the whole nation
already

My people aren't suffering at all

I know you to well

I'm your brother, and you can't even
let me survive

How can you grant happiness
to other people?

Sea-Wayne

Come here

You saw that, too

All the people in town died!
I must take revenge

Leave quickly

Come on

I really don't want to do this

But I don't know whether
I'll be back again or not

Go! Please go away

I don't want you now

Go

Pray for me! I must kill that devil

Moony

Be careful

Merlin! Your life is too cheap

All your life has been fighting
for the others

It better worths it

If you kneel down and beg me
not to kill you

I might think about it

But it's not my choice now

If I could choose, I would kill you first

How dare you not to kneel down

Merlin

Merlin

Your Majesty! I'm happy

that I can die for you

Merlin

You fooled around with many girls

OK! I'll let you two unite in the
underworld

Yen be careful

Philip! Why are you back?

I want to see this villain

I need his head to worship

the souls of 89 villagers that he killed

Peasant! How dare you to talk to me
like this

No matter who you are

you have no rights to kill

Show me how you're going to take
the revenge

Sea-Wayne

This sword will do it

Moony

Moony

Philip! My heart belongs to you

But my body belongs to Yen

Sorry! I can't be with you anymore

It's okay

I'd like to hear the sound of
Jade-ling-long

Okay

I don't even know I will wake up or not

When I woke up

I found myself in the centre of sea

The royal tomb has been destroyed

They were buried within

Many years after, I come back here again

There are flowers around

Under the flowers

Dead bodies were buried

In fact some stories are true

Especially for those heart-breaking ones
