Breathing Fire (1991) - full transcript

Michael, a Vietnam vet with two kids, pulls off a bank heist with his gang, which includes the bank's manager. To ensure the loyalty of everyone involved, Mike makes a special set of keys, so that the hiding place for the loot can only be opened if all the members are present. The bank manager, however, gets cold feet and tries to back out, so Mike and his buddies kill him and his wife. His daughter, however, gets hold of the key and runs for help to David, one of her father's old friends who also happens to be a Vietnam vet and a former comrade of Michael's. Will David be able to protect his friend's daughter?

- Hey, hurry up, Dad.

We're late.

- Hey so, Dad, if we win this tournament,

you're gonna buy us a Porsche, right?

- Yeah, a convertible red one.

Come on, Dad, you can do it.



- What do you guys
think, I'm made of money?

Maybe I should just rob a bank.

- That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

- Yeah.

(horn honks)

- Take it easy now.

Listen, just do your best, okay?

Do me a favor, don't get hurt.

- All right, Dad.
- Sure thing.

See you later.
- Bye.

- Bye-bye.

- Guys.

(crowd chatters)

- Wow, I want to take one of these home!



- Me too.

(zipper clatters)

- Do you know who that belongs to?

- I don't know, I just found it here.

- Huh.

Are you from that country?

- I don't know.

- Well, that's mine, and you
shouldn't be touching it!

- Hey, don't pick on him.

Leave him alone.
- Hey, hey!

- It's okay, Tony.

It's okay, it's my fault.

Sorry, sorry.

- What's your problem?

You looking for trouble?

What's this, huh?

A good luck charm?

- Yeah, you're gonna need it!

(Charlie grunts)
- Hey, Charlie, calm down.

(Charlie grunts)

Come on, the necklace is important to him.

- It's not important to me.

What's important to me is I kick your ass!

- Yeah, let's do it now.

- Come on!

we keep each other honest.

Everyone, including Peter,
will have a pizza piece

with the imprint of
the keys on the bottom.

Therefore, it will take all of
us together to open the safe.

All of you as witnesses

That way, no one cheats any others.

What took you so long, Peter?

Did you get lost?

- Damn it, Michael.

I didn't even want to come here tonight!

- I guess I didn't have a choice, did I?

- You know, I'm real proud of you Peter.

You kept up with your end of the bargain,

and now I'm gonna keep up with mine.

- I don't want this, you take it.

You guys can keep my share.

- Do you understand what you're saying?

You are the with us or against us!

It's up to you.

- Michael, come on.

You know I've got a
family to take care of.

Leave us alone.

Michael!

Michael!

Tank, you take it.

I don't want it.
- Don't be stupid!

You take this.

You're holding our whole
future in your hands!

(birds chirp)

- Don't bother me, Harry,
I cleaned my room already!

Hey, I look pretty good.

- Charlie, your room is a mess!

I told you to clean it up
before your father arrives home.

- Hey, what about Tony's room?

How come he doesn't have to clean it, huh?

- I thought Tony was at practice.

I cleaned up his room for him.

- Oh, very nice.

Clean his room and not mine, huh?

(dart thuds)

- I'm gonna get you, you little runt!

(model plane rattles)

(punching bag pounds)

- Morning, boys.

- Morning, Dad.

- Morning, Dad.

- Well, how'd you guys do
in the tournament last week?

Sorry I couldn't be there.

- It's all right, Dad.

We know you're busy and all.

Me and Charlie won in
both of our divisions.

- Hey.

- So does that mean we get our stereo?

- No, we don't get our stereo
until we win the finals.

- Tony, will you go along?

We could have had our stereos sooner.

- Sorry, Charlie.

By the way, how's your studies?

Remember, no grades, no car.

- But Dad, how can I
look like a stud if I'm

walking everywhere?

- Guys, I heard you were
annoying Harry again.

Now this is the fifth time this
month that I've warned you.

Maybe some extra painting
will help you guys

remember that Harry is
a part of his family.

- Oh, I don't know Dad, I
got three dates tonight.

- Yeah right, you mean
those three fat chicks, huh?

- I mean it.

- All right.

- Okay, dad.

(bright music)

- [Mickey] Hey, guys.

- What's up, Mickey?
- What's going on?

We were supposed to go to the beach.

- Yeah, but after this.

- Yeah.

- Hey Mickey, check this out.

Snake!

- Hey, watch this.

RoboCop.

- No, wait a minute.

Here, I'll show you how.

- Hey, yeah!

Hey, I bet you can't
do it with two brushes.

- I can do anything.

Of course I can do it with two brushes.

- [Tony] Man, you're just awesome.

- Unbelievable.

(pop music)

Hey, Mickey, I'll finish it for you.

(paintbrush scrapes)

It wasn't that hard, was it?

- All right, guys, let's go to the beach.

- To the beach.

- Beach.

The beach?

- What's wrong?

(tires rumble)
(tires screech)

- Excuse me.

I'm looking for a Mr. David Moore.

(sighs) Hey, wake up, you rummy.

Get on your feet!
(David coughs)

Well, good luck.

- Thank you.

Are you David Moore?

- Yeah, I'm David Moore.

What can I do for you?

- I'm Annie Stern, Peter Stern's daughter.

I have something from him.

- Oh, Pete! (laughs)

Oh, how is old Pete?

- He's dead.

This is for you.

(chair creaks)

(paper rips)

- What the hell is this?

- I have no idea.

He just gave it to me and said to mail it.

- Did you see them?

- There were five of
them, one was a woman too.

- (sighs) Why don't you
just go to the police?

- I heard my dad tell my
mom not to go the police.

There must've been a good reason.

(gentle music)

You can get cleaned up here.

I guess you can stay here for a while

till we figure out what's going on.

(gate clatters)

(footsteps patter)

- My dad was with you in Vietnam?

- Yeah, he was a good buddy.

(lights click)

(footsteps patter)

(door slams)

(footsteps patter)

- We're from the police department,

and we're here for the girl.

Her parents were killed last night,

and we need to take her
in for protective custody.

- I've seen you before.

- Just let us take her in
for her own protection.

- Look, I think you'd better leave.

(birds chirp)

- I'll get Mr. Moore for you.

Please have a seat.

- Thanks.

- David, my God it's
good to see you brother!

- Mike, it's good to see you too.

Oh, this is Annie, Peter Stern's daughter.

- Hello, Annie.

Would you like a drink, Dave?

Annie?
- Sure.

- This'll fix you up.

- Thanks, Mike.

- [Michael] So what
can I do for you, Dave?

- Actually, it's not me.

Did you know that Peter Stern and his wife

were murdered last night?

- Really?

- Now they're after his daughter.

I hope you don't mind her being here.

- Of course not.

Tell me, was she around
when they were killed?

- [Dave] Yeah.

- Poor kid.

You did the right thing, Dave.

She'll be taken care of here, don't worry.

(birds chirp)

- Annie, the guest house is over here.

This is where you're staying.

- Hey, Harry, who's this?

Don't tell me it's your daughter.

- Yeah, no family resemblance. (laughs)

- Boys, your father
wants you in the study,

to meet with your Uncle David.

- All right.

- [Dave] Is this the baby, Mike?

- Yeah, it is.

- You know, Nam seems just like yesterday.

- Sure does.

(helicopter propellers whip)

(gunshots whoosh)

- Come on out!

We're Americans, we're not gonna hurt you!

(gunshots blast)

Michael, don't shoot!

Michael, no!

Michael, what the hell you doin'?

- I don't think he's been seen!

- I don't know about you guys,

but I ain't waiting around to get killed.

I'm gonna kill them before they kill me!

(boots thud)

(infant cries)

(infant cries)

- [Dave] Damn, Michael, what did you do?

Damn.

- [Soldier] Oh, we can't
leave this kid here.

He'll die for sure.

- Come on, let's get outta here.

- Check 'em out before
you shoot 'em, goddamn it!

- I ain't taking no chances.

I don't want to die here.

- You killed his mom, and
you're gonna leave him here?

He's your responsibility!

(tense music)

It's finally over.

- Is it really?

- [Tony] Hey, Dad!

- Tony, let me introduce
you to your Uncle Dave.

- Hey, Uncle Dave.

- Hey Tony, how you doing?

- Hey, Dad told me a lot about you, man.

So how's it been, huh?
- All right, all right.

- My boys made me real proud,

taking first place in the
karate tournament last week.

- Hey, keep it up, huh?

- Charlie, where you goin'?

Come over here, say
hello to your Uncle Dave.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Hey Charlie, how you doin'?

- Good.

- Got a couple of good looking
kids here, don't I, Dave?

- Michael, you really
done the right thing.

(door creaks)

- This is my room.

- You see, Annie, this is
not a room for a normal guy.

- What?

- I mean, this is a room for
a zombie, the living dead.

Look at this.

Do any of your friends
have rooms like this?

- It's very neat, Tony.

- Thank you.

- Too neat, sickening neat.

- Well, let's take a look at your room.

Come on, you gotta see this.
- Tony, Tony, wait a minute.

Tony, listen to me.

I was just kidding, Tony.

- This is Charlie's room.

Isn't it great?

- Well, this is it, nothing special.

Been kind of busy lately.

- Charlie, haven't you
heard of a trashcan before?

- Sure, it's right here.

It's full right now so
everything's on hold.

- Why don't you let me
help you, and I'll be back.

- Sure.

Tony, Tony, Tony, what
did I tell you, huh?

Girls always love the
rough old bachelor type.

- Yeah.

your style of martial arts?

If those guys come back
again, we can protect Annie.

(horns honk)

Well, the playground's open.

- [Tony] You leaving?

- [Charlie] Hey, where
you goin', Uncle David?

I thought we were supposed
to practice together.

- [Tony] Yeah.

We're ready now.

- Listen.

Annie's parents were killed
for a piece of plastic pizza.

I want you guys to just stay
at home and not get hurt.

- C'mon, you promised us.

- Yeah, I thought we were supposed

to take care of those guys together.

- If you really want to learn,

you're gonna have to
prove you're worth it.

- [Together] All right, yeah!

- Sure, anything, what do you want?

- We'll do anything.

- Get on your shins.

(boys groan)

No hands!

(staff tips)

(boys groan)

If you want to learn, this
is your chance to prove it.

Down!

(boys groan)

(staff whooshes)

(boys groan)

- Ah, this is painful, Uncle David!

- Yeah.

- But don't worry, we can take this.

- We're dedicated, Uncle David.

We can do it.

- We have to prove it to you. (groans)

(staff thumps)

Just put your shoes back on,

go back in the house
and take care of Annie.

- Nice move there.

Don't worry, I have an idea.

But first, let's take
Annie to Mickey's house.

- Yeah.

We gotta prove to Uncle
Dave that we're worth it.

Come on.

(upbeat pop music)

- Yeah.

- What's up, Alan?

- The guy in the bar, I had a
run in with him in the garage.

He's one hell of a fighter.

- I know this guy.

He's got the damn pizza from Peter.

- Our money.

- That's right.

We've gotta get that back from him.

If he goes to the police with
that, we're in deep trouble.

(upbeat pop music)

- Mickey, do your stuff.

- Okey dokey, let's do it.

Hi there.
- Hi, can I see your ID?

- You sure can.

Oh, I'm sorry, let me help you.

You have it?

(upbeat pop music)

- Guys, Uncle David.

- [Tony] How could he find
anybody just sitting there?

- Mickey, it's showtime!

- Fellas, any time is show time.

- Show 'em up, man.

(upbeat pop music)

- It's all set.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

make way as we introduce
the man with all the moves.

Let's hear it for Mickey.

Do it, Mickey!

(David groans)

Uncle Dave, are you all right?

Take him outta here.

- The bone was not fractured.

However, the soft tissue and the ligament

were badly damaged.

- Just give it to me straight, Doc.

- Well, it's going to take at
least six months to a year.

to be completely healed.

If you were a dancer,

no more leaps and jumps, complications.

- In other words, my
dancing days are over?

- I'm sorry. Mr. Moore.

Here, let me help you.
- Here, let me help you.

- Thanks, doctor.

- Thanks, doctor, we'll take care of him.

- [Tony] Hey, thanks a lot, doc.

- We can't take Annie back to your house.

They probably got it staked out.

I know a few places around
town we can take her.

We keep moving.

I don't know what I'll be able
to do if they catch up to us.

- But Uncle Dave,

if you teach us your

- Uncle David.

- Here, let me help you up.

(Dave groans)

- Uncle David, teach us what you know.

It's not for us or the tournament.

It's for you and Annie.

- Yeah, why don't you
show us how to fight?

We will work hard,

and we promise you, we won't let you down.

- You know nothing of hard
work, much less discipline.

I can't teach you, you're not worth it!

- Come on, Uncle Dave, please?

We could do it.

- This time, Uncle
David, we won't fail you.

- Yeah, we'll stay here
as long as you want us to.

- You guys can stay there
till you rot for all I care.

- Hi, Uncle David.

Tony and I have just finished a workout.

- [Tony] It's good.

- What are you looking at?

- Hey, that's the picture of you and Daddy

in the Vietnam War.

What was it like?

- The war was cruel.

It was a tragic experience.

- Yeah, I bet.

Hey, I heard the Viet
Cong were very sneaky.

Even the women and kids.

They could just kill you like that, huh?

- It's true, we had to watch
our backs all the time.

- So I guess you must
have met my mom then.

- Of course, I did she...

- What about her?

Come on, tell me.

- She helped us us out in camp.

She did laundry, cooking.

She'd tell stories about her village.

She was great.

Then one day she asked us
to take you back to America.

So I thought that--
- What?

She handed me to you guys.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

How can that be possible?

- Charlie.

- Uncle David, I trusted you.

How can you lie to me?

Your story is completely
different from Dad's.

Come on, I want to know the truth.

Come on tell me?

What are you guys trying to hide from me?

- Charlie, come on.

Charlie!

(footsteps patter)

Charlie!

- Charlie.

Don't worry, I understand, but
you will find out the truth.

- Don't worry about it, man.

Look, we're still
brothers, no matter what.

(hands clap)
- Thanks.

- The reason it won't break

As soon as you conquer your

- But that's not gonna break.

- Our legs will!

- Just do it!

you really scared us.

- [Charlie] Yeah.

- Did you see a gray truck
following you up here?

- No, Uncle David.
- What gray truck?

- You know we're always
careful about that.

- I'm sure it's him who was trying

to tail us from the store last night.

I'm gonna take Annie to a new hideout.

You guys stay here.

- Charlie, we need to figure
out a way to help Uncle Dave.

I think we can take on all those guys.

- Hey, we'll start with the
guy with the pickup truck.

Give Mom a kiss.
(lips smack)

(window shatters)

- Hey, you guys!

Don't you know how to throw
a damn basketball right?

- Well, why don't you come
down and show us, big guy!

- Oh yeah?

I'm on my way, I'm right down.

(door creaks)

(nails squelch)
(Tank groans)

(feet thud)

- What's that noise?

- Come on, big guy, come in.

get your butt down here!

- What's going on out there?

Tank, who are these people?

- Oh, Mom, just a couple friends of mine.

- Yeah, Ma'am, we're friends.

- Very close friends.

(upbeat music)

- Tank thinks that because
I'm blind that I'm dumb too.

- Momma, what do you mean?

- I mean that these are not your friends.

You don't try to kill your friends.

- I did something terribly wrong, Momma!

- What, baby?

What, Tank?

You can tell me anything.

- I robbed a bank, Momma.

- Oh, child.

What are we gonna do?

- Don't worry, we have an idea.

But Tank, you need to
stay close to the gang

so we can find out what the
next plan is going to be.

- Don't worry, Tank.

It'll be all right.

But of course you have to help us.

- Whatever it takes, man.

Whatever it takes.

(water splashes)

(wind chimes chiming)
(birds chirping)

(water splashes)

- Ooh, baby.

I missed you.

(lips smack)

- Gee, I'm surprised you
even had time for me today.

- Honey, you know how busy I've been.

- Oh yeah.

How much longer are we gonna have to wait?

- Honey, now relax.

You're gonna have to be patient with this.

- Patient.

I have been patient, but try
telling that to the creditors.

- Now listen, when the time is
right, the bars will be sold.

But in the meantime,

you're gonna have to let
me handle this my way.

- In the meantime, what
am I supposed to do?

- Honey, just hang in there a bit longer.

Trust me, okay?

- This is driving me crazy.

- Honey, you know what?

(lips smack)

I think you drive me crazy.

(lips smack)

- Alan called a meeting yesterday.

Because everybody wants their gold bars.

But we can't do anything

until we find the missing piece of pizza.

- Hey, that could be the
pizza that Uncle Dave's got.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Who's Alan?
- Yeah, who is this guy?

- Alan owns that bar by the beach.

And let me tell you, he's
not an easy guy to deal with.

- Thanks, Tank, we'll handle this.

- Yeah, keep us informed
about all the information

going around though.

- I will.

You guys be careful though, man.

- Pizza.

Alan's bar.

(seagulls caw)

(suspenseful music)

- Excuse me, we're looking
for a guy named Alan.

- Is he here?

- Excuse me, we're looking for Alan.

- Hey kids, you got your ID? (laughs)

Or did you bring your
mother with ya? (laughs)

- We have better things to do

than babysit a couple of squirts.

Now get lost!

- We're not kids, now where's Alan?

- Where is he?

- Hey, Nick.

We got a couple of small
problems over here.

- What can I do for you boys?

- We're looking for Alan.

- Alan, there's no Alan here.

And we don't serve milk and cookies.

- Well, if he's not here,
then we'll come back later.

- Not so fast, guys.

You don't mess around here and then leave.

- I think it's time for
a little rubdown boys.

- Yeah.

I think it's time for a
little physical education.

(man grunts)

- I think we have a little
problem too. (laughs)

I'll have the mold made up.

- Well, I think we
should all stick together

until the safe is opened.

What do you guys think?

- I think it's a real good idea.

- They can all stay here
tonight, honey, right?

- I don't see any problem with it.

Well, Alan, will you do the honors?

- My pleasure.

(cork pops)

All right, send them in.

(Jenny cheers)
(Jenny laughs)

(water bubbles)

- Hey, it's late.

It's time to go to bed.

(lips smack)

- There's so much to take
care of for tomorrow.

- Michael, you've done
everything you can possibly do.

I mean, after tomorrow,

you won't have to think or
worry about this ever again.

(lips smack)

(suspenseful music)

(Tank chatters softly)

- I think someone's coming, I gotta go.

- Yes, I'd like to report
information about a bank robbery.

Yes, the people who robbed the bank

are picking up the gold bars
from the Sperry metal refinery.

It was you, Tank!

- What are you talking about?

- You know damn well
what I'm talking about!

- Look, I didn't call the police!

- Bullshit!

I saw you on the phone at
Jenny's house last night!

- I didn't call 'em!

- I'll take care of this, Alan.

- Michael, I wouldn't do that.

(foot thumps)
(Tank groans)

(boxes crash)

Put it up, Michael, I
didn't call the police.

Please don't kill me, man!

- Goodbye, Tank.

(gunshot blasts)
(glass shatters)

- What the hell was that for?

- He wasn't worth it.

You guys take care of the
gold, I'll handle this.

(helicopter propellers whip)

That bastard!

- [Dave] What did you get yourself into?

- [Michael] Hey, I'm rich, I made it.

- [Dave] You call this success?

You're a damn murderer!

- [Michael] I just do what I have to!

If I'm doing something wrong,
you're as much to blame.

You were always too good to me.

You got me everything I wanted.

But I got out in the real world.

Nothing came easy anymore.

I had to struggle to get the money

that I wanted to buy me anything.

- Come on, Mike, turn yourself in.

You've got a chance if you do.

- Don't even try to stop me, Dave.

Think about it.

After 20 years in jail,
my life would be over.

Stay out of my way!

- I can't.

I'm not gonna let you go!

- I'd rather die than go to jail.

- Don't be ridiculous.

Let's just cut out the
small talk, we gotta get--

- Jenny!

- He's gonna turn us in!

- No!
(feet thump)

(gunshot blasts)

- Jenny, Jenny!

Honey, honey, honey, shit.

Charlie!

(fists pound)

What the hell do you think you're doing?

- I'm sorry, Dad.

I was just trying to protect Uncle David.

- You're nuts, man.

How can you do this to your own son?

- Don't try to get to me by
using Charlie, it won't work!

Stay out of my way!

- Have you lost your mind?

(Michael grunts)
(fists pound)

(foot thumps)
(Dave groans)

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

- Stop him!

- Dad.
(fists pound)

- How dare you turn against me?

You think you're real tough, huh?

Let's see how tough you are.

- I'm not turning against you.

You're my father.

(hand smacks)

- Don't try to soften me up.

- That's not what I mean, Dad.

- You son of a bitch!

How can you beat a kid who
doesn't even fight back?

Just like you killed his mother in Nam!

- What, my mother?

What are you talking about?

It's impossible!

Dad.

Tell me it's not true.

Did you really kill her?

- I did it, so what?

I've got no time for regrets.

Now, if anyone tries to
stop me, I'll kill 'em.

Anything you say can and

- Dad, Dad!
- In a court of law.

- Dad, are you okay?

What happened, Dad?

Answer me!
- The kid's gotta go!

- [Tony] Let me stay here!

- [Officer] Sorry, kid.

He's a suspected criminal.

- Dad.

No, Dad!

(Tony cries)

- Charlie.

- Annie.

I'm sorry it turned out this way.

- Charlie!

How can you do that to my dad, man?

He gave you everything.

How can you ruin him?

Give me back my dad!

What are you waiting for?

Are you afraid of me?

You thought you were so
good before, tough guy.

Well, fight me now!

Come on, come on!

(Tony grunts)
(leg whooshes)
