Nine Deaths of the Ninja (1985) - full transcript

A group of drug runners/freedom fighters has kidnapped a busload of tourists in the Philippines and is threatening to kill them all if one of their partners is not released from prison and the government doesn't halt its anti-drug policies. To stop the criminals, a trio of specialist soldiers are called in. Even with all their training, will they be able to stop the terrorists when they begin killing hostages and turning loose their squads of attack midgets?

Time to do a little dancing.

Gentlemen, you had just
observed the combat exercise

conducted by one of the world's

best anti-terrorist teams.

From Japan, the captain
of the DART Team, Spike Shinobi.

Hello.
How you doing?

His US counterpart,

Captain Steve Gordon.

Good work there.
Yeah. Right, right.

In charge
of communications and control,

Lieutenant Jennifer Barnes.



DART flight 78 Zulu here.

We are planned for
immediate departure,

range condition yellow, routine dust,
but I'm able to clear the zone.

Contact Jackrabbit Four
S.O. 2667...

* Don't know how or why

* This whole thing started

* Is it worth a try

* From one outsmarted?

* I've been here before,
but the feeling's new *

* With the same
smiles I wore *

* And second hand lies too

* Don't know when or where

* I missed my chances

* Maybe it's unfair



* To skip your fine dances

* But I've danced before
and the song had to end *

* You bring music once more

* Can this be our
song, my friend? *

* So take me high

* Lead me to every
twist and turn *

* So take me high

* I won't stop
until each step I learn *

* So take me high

* I'll close my eyes

* While you're gone

* And keep on dancing

* Even if the music's gone

* Don't know which
or who of us *

* Must be blamed

* Maybe too late, too soon

* The simple me came

* I've been here before,
but the feeling's new *

* And I'm dancing once more

* The scale is cast too,
my friend *

* So take me high

* Lead me to every
twist and turn *

* So take me high

* I won't stop
until each step I learn *

* So take me high

* I'll close my eyes

* While you're gone

* And keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Even if the music stops

* So take me high

* Keep on dancing
* Take me high

* Keep on moving

* Take me high

* Keep on, keep on, yeah

* And keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Even if the music stops *

Welcome,

nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.

Welcome.
Thank you.

And you must
be Congressman Morrison.

That's right.

We're honored
to have you with us, sir.

Thank you.

And this must be Mr. Perkins.

Yes, my dear.

It's nice to meet you.

Delighted to meet you.

Mrs. Garcia?

Hello.

Hi. And who do we have here?

This is Amanda.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi.
It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You're in for a big treat today.

You'll see.

That's Shane and Kane,
the sons of Dr. Yamada.

Why don't you go and play
with them?

Nancy, nice to meet you.
Go on, go on.

Yuck.

All righty, Ms. Woodman.

Thanks, Ed.

Everyone, you may board the bus.

We're about to begin the tour.

*

*

This morning's tour will
take us to one of the most

active volcanoes
in the world today.

We will view Volcano Island

which is in the middle
of Lake Taal.

It was once the home
of 140 families.

*

They have an escort.

Move your men in position.

Now, a major fault
zone runs across this area.

And most of the peaks you see
are volcanic in origin.

Archeological studies
have traced human habitation

to some 250,000 years ago.

The first
settlers from Borneo

landed on the
western shores of Batangas.

They were
a Proto-Malay people,

slight of build
with light brown skin.

The fertile volcanic
soil and abundant rainfall

have combined to produce
a rich and very plantlike.

*

*

Our Lady of Pillars

was erected in 1812
by Father Sabrino.

I am Colonel Honey Hump.

And you, my dear,
are my prisoners.

You will
remain calm and quiet

until the time
comes for your release.

The first one of you suckers

that gives me a problem
gets turned over to him.

And this is Dr. Wolf.

He likes to cut people open

to see what
they had for breakfast.

Move it.

Move it.

Mr. Rankin's office.

Yes, sir?

Just one moment.

It's Major Quirino
of the constabulary's office.

What? A highjack?

We're in deep trouble.

Alert my men and have them
ready to roll in five minutes.

I'll inform the ambassador.

*

Yes, sir.
Sorry to bother you.

I have a priority one.

Uh-hmm.

Commander,

I just spoke with the president
about the Philippine situation.

He gave his approval to
send in the DART Team.

We will exercise
red option four

under NSD
directive 138 immediately,

got it?

*

A band of warriors

from the Iga Clan

is now approaching
from the south.

You have been chosen
to meet the challenge.

*

*

Kill me, please.
Let me die quickly.

A ninja does not allow himself

to be swayed by emotion.

You are not worthy.

You must follow a different
path to true insight.

Go.

The fruits
of a vigorous meditation.

Yeah, I had a sharp vision.

And what did you see?

Watermelon.

Ah.

DART 10 Alpha,
this is JSOA operations.

You have a red
option four active.

I repeat, you have
a red option four active.

Here they are fresh
from the lab.

See that these get distributed

to all barrio captains
and police units.

Yeah, I'd say the timing
of our bus security man's

disappearance is the most
peculiar, don't you think?

Most peculiar.

It hurts.
Not nice.

Is everything in place?

Yes!

Except for the costar.

Come on.

What are you guys doing to me?

Hurry up or you'll
be late for that.

We're going to make a star
out of you, put you on TV.

It's working?
Yeah, go.

I, as a commander
of the forces that took

control of the embassy bus,

as you can see,

the passengers are unharmed

at least as of this moment.

This,
your cooperation,

there will be no more
bloodshed.

It's unnecessary.

Our demands are quite simple.

First,
I will require the release

of Mohammad Rahji from
the government prison.

Instructions on his release
will be forthcoming.

Second, all American
drug enforcement personnel

who have been harassing
my operation

and jailing my people,

they'll be withdrawn
from the Southeast Asia.

A list of these personnel

will also be forthcoming.

If you fail to comply
with these demands,

all hostages will be
executed.

To demonstrate
my serious intentions,

I offer you this
example of my commitment.

*

Don't fight it.

Consider yourself lucky.

You're prettier
than the other woman.

Now, I'll see to it that you
live longer than they will.

You should be sweet to me, baby.

I got the power of life
in just over you.

Nothing's going to stop me
from getting what I want.

So, Dr. Wolf found
you too hot to handle.

Mineral pigs,

you should learn to let
a woman satisfy you.

That's the only
way to fight his kind,

huh?

Yeah, sure.

Put all the choppers
you've got on this search.

I don't give a crap
what your problem is.

We have a US
congressman in their party.

Damn.

*

To demonstrate
my serious intentions,

I offer you
this example of my commitment.

Oh.

So you can see what
we're dealing with.

This is the boss that
they want to release by noon,

Monday or they'll shoot
the hostages.

Mohammad Rahji
also known as Rahji the butcher.

Yeah. He and his men tried
to blow up the embassy.

A suicide mission
just like Beirut,

but we stopped them
in time and took Rahji prisoner.

Hmm, the butcher
was once the leader

of the South Yemen
terrorist group.

That was before
he got into the drug trade.

He was also in on that massacre
at LOAD airport.

They say Alby loves him.

Albert Brent, German national,

known by Interpol
as Alby the Cruel.

He was involved in that
Munich massacre.

He once got careless and let
a firebomb go off in his lap.

He's known to the Southeast
Asian drug trade in a big way.

I've been keeping an eye on them
for the Drug Enforcement Agency.

And this is the pisser.

It's the DEA
personnel in the Far East.

Yeah. Look who's name
is at the top.

Yours.

Well, we better
find Branham and ask him

a few personal questions.

Is this Branham
an art connoisseur?

Not that I know of, why?

Well, according
to his phone log,

he calls the Museum of Asian
Culture frequently.

Let's take a look.

*

*

That was his last jump.

Okay, all clear.

Hump, get them off the bus.

All right, line them up.

All right, hurry up.
Move your butt.

Come on, hurry up.

Keep going, yeah.

Move it. Move it.

Keep going. Oh, little girl.

Oh, my.

Mama, mama,
I'm not feeling so good.

You take one of your pills now.

You know what happens when you
don't get a chance to take them.

Hey. What do we got here?

Yellow jackets.

Give me those.

That's my daughter's medication.

Boy, we got some
heavy stuff here.

Oh, please give it to me.

It's for daughter's
heart condition.

Tough shit, bitch.

Bravo.

How entertaining.

I've never seen such a pitiful
group of hostages before,

most amusing.

What? Who's it?

You little faggot, I'll kill
you, you son of a bitch.

Mom. Mama, I'm really
sorry, mom.

Oh, it's okay, honey.

It's okay.
I'm so sorry.

I don't know about you two but

this jetlag
has finally caught up with me.

I think I'm going to take
a hot bath and go to bed.

I'm going to buy
some lollipops.

What are you going to do?

Having lunch with Ms. Lee.

Got to keep moving, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Well, hello.

Ms. Lee is so beautiful.

If you like airheads, maybe.

Look, by the way,

the coroner reported
needle scabs

on Branham's legs.

Evidently, Alby kept him
supplied

and it's been exchanged
for inside information.

And the people at the museum?

Alby's drug runners.

Look, I'll see you later.

Well, Alby ain't going
to like hearing this.

Did you get their pictures?

Don't you dare touch one
hair of sweet little Bobby.

You understand me, Hump?

Sure, Alby,

is he that good to you?

You better address
me as Mr. Brant.

Don't mess with me, chump.

You shoot me and my girls

will snuff your monkey ass.

No need for all this hostility.

We must stick together.

Yeah. So keep your
squeeze off of my tit.

What tit?

Listen,

I talked to Fu and he said
Braham has been nailed

because Rankin sent in
some experts from the States.

Neutralize them.

Coordinate
with the informer.

We must render
retribution.

Find me a volunteer.

Yeah.

So you're the geezer.

Huh?

Here's your geezer.

He'll make
a nice corpse, won't he?

Sure. This geezer is fine.

Yeah.

You're going on a little hike.

It's only a matter of time

before the authorities
located this camp.

By then, we will
be safely in the mountains.

*

To a long and exciting
friendship.

Like the friendship
you have with Ms. Barnes?

Yes, but even better.

That remains to be seen.

Uh-hmm.

A lot remains to be seen.

Oh, I see,
your boss comes here too.

Yes, he has lunch
here quite often.

Excuse me.

*

I see you like Asian girl.

You nasty American,

I no like you dark meat.

Dark meat, yeah, good.

You bitch ass.

Hey, let's get out of here.

Very impressive.

See you at the office.

Cute, huh?

How did you know
they'd hit us?

I saw these guys at the hotel.

Nice disguise, huh?

How did you find us?

Well, I got a um,

tracking beacon
taped to my leg.

And using my radio,

I can home right in.

Driver, you can take
him to the American Embassy

and then you can
take us to, uh...

My place.

*

*

Cream and sugar
the way you like it.

I see you're still
playing with your balls.

Here, you want
to play with them?

Gentlemen, I have some new
information for you to consider.

While most of you
were sleeping,

Spike was interrogating
the prisoner.

And he's obtained some
delightful news I must say.

Alby has issued
an execution order.

He wants the DART Team
eliminated.

This guy doesn't waste
any time.

Rankin.
Jeez.

Not a damn thing.

We'll have to release Rahji.

Okay. Stay on his ass.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

*

*

Now, move.

He abandoned
his car inside Intramuros.

I see him.

He's heading for Chinatown.

*

*

I want a clean girl.

No crap.

Are you kidding?

My girls are sterilized,
sanitized and lobotomized.

But first, you want
to show me a little money?

Fifty bucks will buy
you a short time.

*

Oh, you want Trixie, huh?

Well,
that's a good choice.

She has very clean thighs.

You'll be in room four.

It's our cleanest room.

She'll join you in a minute.

*

I lost them
in three dragon alley.

Yeah, I figured you did

because I got them in sight.

*

Lollipop, this is control.

Let me know
when you're airborne.

Yeah, on my way.

You sure are.

I see boss first,

then he slit
your throat.

*

Air prompt,

this is the voice
of Mohammad Rahji.

I am now free.

Praise Allah.

Excellent, Rahji.

I-- for you,

I have arranged

rest and rehabilitation aboard

Madame Woo Pee's
floating boat palace.

I am look forward
to be seeing you again.

Enough rest.

Get this
shwein on her feet.

The quicker
we get rid of them, the better.

Wow.

*

Macho Man, this is control.

I have confirmation
on a SATCOM red.

The quail is inbound
your position, do you copy?

Roger that.

Switching to delta one.

Lollipop,
this is the Macho Man,

do you read?

Roger.
Sorry for delay,

I had a little problem.

Standby for pick up.

All right.
Listen up.

He's got something to say.

From this base camp,

we will go on defense.

Mohammad's release

was a great victory,

but an even
greatest one of it,

when we attack
and destroy

the forces that are
searching for us.

When that is done,

successfully completed,

then

you will
have your reward,

but you must
earn it.

Foxy, this is Lollipop,

we're on our way to Madame
Woo Pee's floating palace.

*

Hi!
Hi!

Nice welcoming committee,

wouldn't you say?

*

Listen, you swim
out to the barge

and I'll keep
an eye on the girls.

*

Where did they go?

Ladies,

let's have a chat.

*

Well, they're taking
their damn sweet time.

My sister Woo Wee
warned me about these creeps.

This Rahji's
a deviant.

A seven-foot
pervert.

Don't worry.

The girls take
care of themselves.

I mean love, it's
the rarest of all things defined

and it can't be
purchased.

Sometimes, I just get choked up
when I think about it.

I just wish

I wasn't so filthy rich.

We could clean out your pipes.

You answer my question

or you will
join your ancestors,

do you understand?

This nazi keeps sending
me these goons to entertain.

If he didn't
pay so well,

I'd blow his scrawny
ass back to Berlin.

The camp is here,

I don't lie.

Good. Then, no bad dreams.

I can't sleep.

I'm busy.

I have-- I have--

Hi there, handsome.
Looking for something?

I uh, was looking for the madam.

Oh, so you want
to make Woo Pee?

Get the bastard.

*

Suppose to keep
your mind on business.

This is business.

You always were a sucker
for violent types.

Let's go.

We got a probable LZ
in the two zero niner,

radio of the Jamalic VOR,

forty-five
nautical, BME, outbound.

Our plan of approach is to take
this road and go to the ridge.

Over the ridge
and through the east.

Right.

Thanks, Lollipop.
We're on our way.

Ms. Lee, please inform Rankin

that the DART Team has located
the terrorist camp.

This is Marisa,
I have something important.

Tell Fu--

You tell me direct.

She'll tell you nothing.

You die,

American bitch.

Not likely.

You murderer!

Save your strength, scumbag.

It would take a tougher
man than you

to pull apart industrial epoxy.

So, what kind of junk
they got you hooked on, huh?

What do you think?

The good stuff.

*

The camp should
be a mile due west... here.

*

Oh, my--
Don't touch him.

One false move and this
is going to go sky high.

Move back.

Let's blow up the camp.

*

Lollipop, this is control.

Are you under attack?
Over.

Negative.
We cleared some booby traps.

Come on in.

Oh, I do hope that
was painful for them.

Hump, are your men ready?

They're ready.

And if they ain't
ready,

cats will be pulling my slugs
out of their asses.

Karen, Sherrie, Berry,

get the squads
up here now for a briefing,

and I mean move
it quick, fast.

Come on, move it.

Now, ya'll

are going to get your chance,

hmm?

I'm talking hair.

I'm talking heads,

pig heads, hmm?

Anybody brings me back
a pig head

gets one of my girls
for half an hour,

huh?
You like that?

Yeah.

Do you understand?

Pig head.

They took
the trail up the mountain.

They've had
a four-hour start.

No problem.

I'll scout ahead.

Bring me the dancer.

Ambush, 12:00.

Hey, where are you going?

You guys,
you dirty guys, come back here.

Cease fire.
They are gone.

Okay.
Roger.

I'll cool my tubes
and sit out this dance.

Oil.

Oil.

Oil.

Suds.

Suds.

Suds.

Okay, boys.
Help yourself.

Yeah.

We need a shield.

Bring up

the congressman

and the--

the beauty queen
Wolf have the hots for.

*

Careful there, Wolf,
she's just a little lady.

She's all
yours now, Wolfy.

Oh, boy I ought to be charging

admission on this one.

Don't let that
one get away, Wolfy.

Tell me about the cave.

Shhh, shhh,

we're here to help you, okay?

You crawl back to those trees

and there's going
to be somebody there to get you.

Oh, thank God.
Okay?

Hey, Wolf.

Wolf baby, how was it?

Was it worth that
long hard wait, Wolf?

Just walk ahead of me.

Hey, you ain't Wolf.

What's happening?

That's mine.

Give me your spider.

Not my spider.

Give me it.

Oh, shit.

Nobody gets
in here, do you understand?

Snuff them out.

There is to be no more
retreating by my people.

They took the congressman

and the girl right
from under Wolf's nose.

Nose my ass,
it was his big loaf.

I have marvelous
news Colonel Hump.

We have a surprise guest.

Someone has joined
us by way of the rear entrance.

Good, good.

From Mohammad.

The government forces

are not likely
to attack until well after dark.

We have

plenty of time for dinner

before we have to leave.

Shit.

What?

The trail should be clear.

Mohammad saw no sign
of the enemies troops

in the back side
of the mountain.

This cave will be
their death trap.

The US authorities
must pay a hefty toll

for the harassment
of my business operations.

I have something to give them.

Oh, Mohammad, you hunk.

My hunk cowboy.

Oh, my hunk. Oh, hunk, hunk.

Oh, Rahji, you hunk.

Rahji, Rahji, Rahji, Rahji,

oh, you hunk

Something's freaking biting me.

Oh, man.

God-- bit me.

Too many drugs this time, boys.

Too many drugs.

*

Right.
Yeah!

Hey, good work.

Jolly good show, my boy.

Oh, Kane,
thank God. Thank God.

*

Hang tight Lollipop,
I'll get my way through to you.

Hey, Foxy,
bring up my grenade launcher.

*

Hey, Slanker, come on,
we're snuffing these people.

Actually, I think the gentleman

has decided to remain with us.

You rather like it here,
don't you?

Fire in the hole.

You made short
work at these guys.

No problem.

Watch out.

*

All right, Ready?
Here, One--

No, I hate needles, no.
It's going to hurt.

Oh.

*

All right, Its bedtime
for you, bonzo, come on.

How did you get out here?

A bomb.

Look out.

*

Over here, over here.

Yeah.

yeah.

We'll get back

Yes, God.

I can't believe it,

I thought we're never
going to get out of this alive.

Oh, you know, it was good
of Vijay Rankin

to lend us the house
for rest and debriefing.

Yes, it's lovely.

God,
I am so nervous.

I hope it doesn't show.

No, you're doing fine.

It won't
be long now.

You know I heard
from the president today,

he offered
us his--

I will slit your
children's throats

before your very eyes.

You have predictable habits,
Mr. Brent.

I have kept this house
under constant surveillance.

Oh, I know.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

I have never killed
women before,

but in this case, I just
might make an exception.

Jennifer, my dear,
you're right on target.

The trap was perfect.

If you ever decide
to leave DART Team,

remember,

I have a position
opened for you on my staff.

Thanks, Vijay,
I'll keep that in mind.

Over.

That's for saving
my ass back there.

Oh, its worth saving.

You know, some things
are difficult

for young boys to deal with.

Women can be challenge
in any games.

Uh-uh.

And so can boys at any age.

Tell me Steve,
how do you deal with it?

Well, as a DART man,

I'm trained to take advantage
of every situation.

It's open.

* I don't know when or where

* I missed my chances

* Maybe it's unfair

* To skip
your fine glances *

* But I've danced
before and the song had to end *

* You bring music once more

* Can this be our song

* My friend?

* So take me high

* Lead me to every
twist and turn *

* So take me high

* I won't stop
until each step I learn *

* So take me high

* I'll close my eyes

* While you're gone

* And keep on dancing

* Even if the music's gone

* I've been here before,
but the feeling's new *

* And I'm dancing once more

* This feeling's got to do

* My friend

* So take me high

* Lead me to
every twist and turn *

* So take me high

* I won't stop
until each step I learn *

* So take me high

* I'll close my eyes

* While you're gone

* And keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Even if the music stops

* So take me high

* Keep on dancing

* Yeah, take me high

* Keep on moving

* Take me high

* Keep on flying

* So, take me high

* Keep on dancing

* Yeah, take me high

* You got to keep
on moving *

* Take me high

* Keep on, keep on, yeah

* Yeah, keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Keep on dancing

* Even if the music's gone
