Brain Smasher... A Love Story (1993) - full transcript

Yeah, Hot Tub?

Good, I'm glad you're home.

I got to tell you something.

This is real important.
What do you mean?

I met that chick.

Yeah, I know you met that girl.

She's a great chick.
Listen to me.

Listen to me...

All right, why is she great?

I don't know why.

She's got all her limbs, OK.



Listen, I've got to
tell you this story.

What do you mean
you've got to go?

All right, I got to...

I've got to tell you... Oh...

- Goodbye.
- Johnny?

We're up.

- Hello?
- Ed?

Mom?

Yeah, listen...

How did you get my number?

I'm at a phone booth in
the middle of nowhere.

I need you to...

What do you mean you
want me to move back?

Ma, look, I've got to tell you
what happened to me last night.



Mom, listen to...

I'm not going to move
back in the house.

I'm 32 years old.

I need my privacy.
You know what I mean?

- Oh, great.
- Ma, listen to...

Just great.

What do you got to
get insulted... Ma?

Ma?

Hey, how you doing?

My name's Ed Molloy.

I'm known as the Brain Smasher.

You'll know why
in a few minutes.

But you know what gets me?

Nobody listens anymore.

Nobody's got any sensitivity.

But you'll listen.

You're not going no where.

And let me tell you, I got an
unbelievable story, you hear?

♪ ♪

♪ The moons are right and I was ♪

♪ told that you'd be coming here ♪

♪ My life was laying kind of low ♪

♪ I was looking to get done in ♪

♪ Now, ain't it nice when there's
no more pieces to fit in ♪

♪ Well, baby, I was you and you
were born, no one was arguin' ♪

Here's the set up.

It started, of all places,
in London, England.

There was this chick.

Absolutely fantastic.

Sam, give me a second.

Take an hour.

Her name is Samantha,

and she's one of
those supermodels.

You know the type, with the big
money, famous thing happening.

Oh, a book?

Amazing, isn't it?

I can actually read and wear a
bathing suit at the same time.

Sometimes I even do math.

Sorry.

A beauty who reads.

Now there is a combo
that I can marry.

Ugh.

As you can see, Samantha

wasn't the happiest
chick in the world

when it came to relationships.

But hey, she hadn't met me yet.

Yeah.

What do you think
he did this time?

Sam, wait.

This is for you.

Another present I wanted.

It's not from me.

- It's from your sister.
- What did you do?

Schlep it all the
way from Paris?

Yeah... big mistake.

I'll say.

You should have brought
your heart instead.

Then you would have had
to find it first, and...

Who else do you
know that's going

to give you a $10,000 Rolex?

Hmm?

A Rolex is not love.

I'll mail it to you.

Keep it.

You know, you're going to
regret this someday, Sam.

You're not going to look good
in a bathing suit forever.

So Sam gets this package from her sister,

and that's what really
sets the whole thing off.

Because the sister tells Sam to
bring this package to Portland,

Oregon where she'll meet her.

♪ ♪

What?

Now this is Portland, Oregon.

I live here.

This is where the rest of the
story happens, and the set up.

♪ ♪

Over here, Miss Crain.

I thought Halloween
was last month.

These guys are Shaolin
monks of the Red Lotus sect.

Our paths crossed...

What the hell did he say to you?

Talk about stressed.

What did he say?

Uh... he would appreciate it
if you wouldn't talk anymore.

Why don't you just say so?

Hey!

What are you...

What is he...

Tell your baby sister
to reveal the whereabouts

of the Red Lotus to us now.

Wait a minute.

You speak English.

You know, you guys are
in a lot of trouble.

This isn't China.

You can't...

Sam, where's the package
I asked you to bring?

I forgot it.

She's a model.

Oh.

Yeah, just another airhead.

But if these freaks
kill me, they'll never

find their little package.

Tell them that.

I'm sorry I got
you into this, Sam.

That's what you're
always saying.

Give us the Red Lotus.

You made your point.

It's this way.

Come on.

These guys are crazy.

You want to see crazy?

You will pay for
this, Miss Crain.

I will find you.

Come on, Sam.

You have no honor.

Would you get up?

Come on.

This way... over here.

Oh, yuck.

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, you send me a
package from thousands

of miles away and then you
ask me to rush it back to you.

I figure something's going on.

It always is with you.

What's with the ninjas?

I told you, they're
Chinese monks.

- Ninjas are Japanese.
- Details.

Come on.

♪ ♪

Well, how was I supposed to know
arm bruiser was going to follow

me all the way to Portland?

Arm bruiser?

What are you doing
with those guys?

I can't let them get their hands

on the Red Lotus when
our friend, Wu, said

ultimate power,
he wasn't kidding.

I think we lost them.

No, you don't lose
Red Lotus monks.

They're coming.

You just can't hear them.

Sure as hell can hear
you in those things.

Lose them.

- These are $400 shoes.
- Oh, details.

Look, go down this alley.

I'll meet up with you
at St. Luke's Church.

Wait a minute.
We're splitting up?

Look, this is
what they're after.

They'll follow me.

I don't want to cause
you any more trouble.

I'm not leaving you.

Mom and dad would kill me.

Oh, forget mom and dad.

Look, St. Luke's
Church, tomorrow, noon.

Now, get out of here.

And lose those heels.

Oh, god.

Help!

I don't have it.

Leave me alone.

Hey!

Have a good time.

Wrong move, stupid.

Hey, why don't you

when you sober up, huh?

Oh.

Now, that's why they
call him the Brain Smasher.

Hey, Benny, call the cops.

We got four more.

Hey, hey, hey.

Cops are on their way.

- Here, here's your jacket.
- Thanks.

Oh, I thought you said four?

You know me, I
don't count too good.

Give me a light, will you?

Yeah, sure.

I'll tell you something
though, some chick got by me.

Oh, what are you trying to say?

Some girl got by
the Brain Smasher?

Oh, that could be in the paper.

Not for long.

Do me a favor...
watch the line, huh?

Listen to me.

There are Chinese ninjas

Well, this dumb muscle
head's throwing you out.

Hiya.

So let me understand this.

You automatically think a

Those guys don't

Oh, Cammy says it's some sort
of religious sect or something.

Who's Cammy?

My crazy sister.

She took something from them.

I guess, she thinks
they'll trade it for me.

Why doesn't she just give
them back what they want?

Well, she must think it's
awfully important to risk

her life and mine, and
I hate to admit it,

but my sister always
knows what she's doing.

Really.

She's a botanist.

So you got the looks and
she's got the brains, huh?

She's very beautiful.

Then she got the
looks and brains.

What did you get?

Look, muscle head, are
you going to help me or not?

I'll take you to the cops,
but that's as far as I go.

The cops aren't
going to do anything.

There's no law
against being a ninja.

Those ninjas wiped out a club.

I think there's a
law against that.

Well, there's another reason
we can't go to the cops.

Why?

They might pick you
out of a line up?

She kind of talked me
into smuggling something

into the country,
and it's not drugs.

Well, what is it?

It's a flower from China.

Wu thinks it holds the
key to ultimate power.

Wu?

get to St. Luke's Church?

Uh-uh.

I'll pay you $300.

Make it $500.

Done.

What?

I can't pay you now.

Wu was chasing me.

Honey, these pockets
only take green.

this is an 18-karat gold,

Oh, rich boyfriend, huh?

He was crazy in love with me.

She's not?

Well, then, can I

Oh, hi, uh... you left a

Your sister said she needs

You can?

Oh, that would be terrific.

Uh... yeah.

Well, it's just that

Yeah, so?

Don't you start with
that model crap,

like I'm not capable of
taking care of myself.

Look, what are you doing here?

You're not supposed
to be here until noon.

Ed... Ed's in trouble.

Ed?

The botanist has
got my number, Ed.

All she needs to do
is give me a call.

If she really loves you, she'll
convince her sister to trade

the Red Lotus for your life.

Hello?

Who's this?

I want to talk to my son, Ed.

It's your mother.

Hello? Hello?

What, ma?

What time are you coming home?

I don't know what
time I'll be home.

Listen...

Hang up on her.

I won't trade the
flower for Ed... period.

Well, we can't just let Ed die.

He saved my life.

You love him.

Maybe.

You must.

I haven't seen you smoke
since you were in high school.

It's too bad, because in
the larger scheme of things,

it's more important that
Wu never get the lotus.

Look, I don't care about
all that ultimate power crap.

I just care about Ed.

Oh, since when have
you cared about anything

other than your tan lines?

Talk about selfish.

You make me leave work, smuggle
something into the country,

practically get me killed,
and all without a thank you.

But I expect that from you,
because you are my sister.

Ed is an innocent bystander.

Oh, I can't believe I
finally care about someone,

and he's going to die before I
get a chance to sleep with him.

Perhaps I should change my
name to finger-breaker Wu.

What do you think?

Too many syllables.

Ah.

Legend says that
the man who takes

the petals of the red
lotus into his body

becomes gifted with
unimaginable powers.

His... his mind becomes a
physical weapon with no limits.

Anything he can imagine,
he can make happen.

If he pictures
you dead, you die.

If he sees a burning plane,
your flight bursts into flames.

If he pictures the whole world
worshipping him as a god,

it will.

You don't really
believe that, do you?

Well, I didn't, but then I
found the lotus growing out

of snow 20 feet deep,
500miles from the nearest

arable soil, just exactly as
the legend said it would be.

So you tell me,
Samantha, is Ed's

life, anyone's life,
worth more than keeping

this out of Wu's hands?

You know, Brain Smasher, you and I may have

been wrong about Miss Crain.

It wouldn't be the first
time a beautiful woman
