Games of Survival (1989) - full transcript

- [Narrator] Sino, a small planet

isolated from its nearest living neighbor

by a hundred million miles.

It is a time of violence and brutality

as a corrupt governing power
has spread it's dark wings

of lawlessness and dictatorship
across the entire planet.

Those who oppose are
captured, tortured and killed.

No one has ever dared to escape.

Till now.

- [Zane] Come.

Come on, let's go.



We're almost there.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on.

- [Man On Radio] Attention unit seven,

two escapees seen going south.

Take them to re-assembly.

If they resist, fire.

- Come on let's go.

Come on, get up.

Damn.

- You are now mine, prisoner.

- This is the third day in this brig.

No food.

No water.



I wonder if they wanna
keep me here much longer.

They should have killed me by now.

Or am I gonna starve to death?

Man, it won't be much longer

before I start to look like this.

When will this all end?

When will we have total freedom again?

I want to be free.

I want to be free.

- You have a visitor, prisoner.

Here, you can have him.

- My dear friends, welcome.

I am honored that all of you are available

at this special gathering.

This year, for you, I
have great entertainment.

From around the galaxy, I
have selected seven men.

Slaves, fighters and
prisoners whose fate was death

to compete in a game of
strength, a game of skill,

a game of survival,

in which the winner
will regain his freedom.

Now, I ask you, which is better?

To die for your sins or to
participate in a game of strategy

and have the opportunity to
gain your freedom with dignity?

I am giving these men a chance.

That's why I'm considered a great being.

I am powerful, yet fair to others.

That's what I am.

- Tell us more about this game.

- With pleasure.

The game will take place
on a planet known as Earth

in a City called Los Angeles.

The fighters will have 60 hours

from the time of their arrival

to find and return to me this ball.

It was a gift from my father.

- Where will the ball be?

How will they find it?

- What makes this game so interesting,

is how I've planned
everything so precisely.

The ball will be transferred to Earth

and will be hidden in
an inconspicuous place.

Each fighter will be provided
with a non-firing weapon

and a locating device

that will signal the
whereabouts of the ball.

It is up to the individual

to find the quickest
way to obtain the ball

since they may kill and
destroy anything to get to it.

Provided that they follow
a few simple rules.

Rules that must be followed.

- What kind of rules?

- Three simple, but important rules.

One, a fighter will eliminate another

only when the defender possesses the ball.

Two, they may only use the
weapon assigned to them.

Three, and the most important,

there will be only one winner.

- And what prevents them from escaping?

- My dear friend,

what better punishment for
disobedience, than death?

I have placed micro
sensors in their skins.

Any attempt to break
the rules, or to escape,

will result in immediate termination.

- Brilliant.

- Very good.

- Perhaps what makes this
game especially interesting

is the uniqueness of each fighter.

This is Skullblaster.

The one I'm most proud of having.

The most vicious of them all.

Responsible for any crime conceivable.

Rape, murder, burning animals alive.

He is a simple man programmed to kill.

Nothing stands in his way.

I have a strong feeling he
will be the one who will win.

He is absolutely the best.

Cyan» bum mane.

He was sentenced to death for
slaughtering millions of men

only for his entertainment.

Minig, small but deadly.

He was a prisoner

who tricked and killed
eight guards and escaped.

Zooloj, an extremely violent
and ruthless fighter,

who after killing his
enemies, amputated their heads

for his skull collection.

Baarg, enormously strong.

This mans was a slave who
killed and burned his owners.

Moozy, a great and deadly fighter

who was ordered to be killed for treason.

And the last one, is Zane.

I found him on planet Zikon.

He was a prisoner who tried
to escape with his friend.

They were both captured.

He was the lucky one who survived

to be one of my contestants.

Now, I ask you to keep your
attentions on the monitors

as I transfer the fighters to Earth.

- Well, my friends, the
game will begin shortly.

In the course of the game, they
will speak a common language

as I've prepared their minds
while they were unconscious.

- Hey, check it out, man.

Nice look.

Hey, slick, how you doing?

Forget about it.

Listen, I got some of this stuff.

I make it in basement.

Guaranteed one hit shit, man.

It's going to get you stoned.

Check it out, man.

Half off today for suckers.

Five for five bucks.

Easy, man, five bucks.

Cough it...

Hey man, what did you just do, man?

What did you do?

Man, okay, fine.

Cough up the money, man.

Five bucks, come on.

Small leaves.

Hey, be cool, fool.

Hey, all right, all right.

You're the boss.

Boss of shitheads if you ask me.

Look at this dude, man.

Fuck you.

Lousy illiterates messing up my city.

That's all I'm gonna give you.

- Can I help you with something?

- I need to go south.

- Yeah, how far you going?

- Not far.

- Well, you know what?

I'm going to downtown.

Maybe I can drop you off on the way.

- Fair enough.
- Well, hop on in.

Stupid radio broke down.

So do you live around here?

- No.

- Go ahead, take one.

You must be new here.

It's not really good for
you either, you know.

You better not even start.

Okay, this is Hollywood.

Take it easy, man.

Don't get in trouble now.

Adios.

♪ I feel pretty ♪

♪ Oh, so pretty ♪

- Oh.

That's a USDA hunk.

Hi, going my way?

Come on, big guy.

Get in the car.

That's it, just open it up.

Get that big muscular body in here.

Now pull.

Come on, pull, baby.

Come on, pull.

Oh.

That's a real nice outfit.

Where'd you get that?

Trashy Lingerie?

Hey, don't get in a tizzy, honey.

I was joking.

You're very big and muscular.

I like that in a man.

You know, you're not
too talkative, are you?

- Hey, man.

Hey, psst.

Hey, you wanna buy a camera for $35?

Hey, man.

This camera is H-O-T, hot.

It could regularly go for $75.

Okay, okay.

30, 30 cool?

Hey, man, this is my last offer.

How about-

How about 25?

- Water.

Water.

I want water.

- [Female Voice] Randall, is that you?

- Open the door, open it.

- [Female Voice] Honey, did
you buy the pseudoephedrine,

egg nog, and the curl kit for Fifi?

And the batteries for my toothbrush?

Oh, I'm so glad you're home.

- Hey, hey, hey-

You wanna buy starlings?

- No.

- Can I help you with something?

- Where's the ball?

This is my ball.

- Hey, no problem.

- Ha!

- What a strange character.

- Where's the ball?

- Get out.

Get out of there.

Get out.

- Hey, man, he's still alive.

All right.

- My dear friends,

you just witnessed how
the weak kill the mighty.

There's now only 50 hours
till the end of the game,

and only five fighters remaining.

- [Male Voice] Zane, I'm watching you.

I'm over here.

You're doomed.

You cannot win.

You have to stay.

You are weak.

Over here, Zane.

You are doomed.

- Hey, there's no sleeping
on the park benches.

Get up.

I've seen your gang here
before destroying the place,

writing your shit all over.

Hmm, you looking at me?

Ah, what have we got here?

Punk.

- Freeze.

- Get out.

A [WWW ma ma.

- On, my God.

You okay?

My leg, it's broken.

I can't move.

My leg, it's killing me.

I can't walk.

I'm hurt.

- Where's the ball?

- Open the door.

Open it.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Open it.

- What do you want from me?

- I don't mean you any harm.

I just need your help.

- Don't hurt me, please.

- I'm not.

There's some people after me.

Look, I gotta get out of here.

Do you live around here?

Why don't you take me there?

- That guy back there, was he after you?

- Yeah, we're all part of a game.

I haven't got much time.

- A game?

- Yeah, it's my last chance.

- [Cindy] I don't understand.

- It's best if you don't.

Come inside and lock the door.

Is there another way to get in here?

- No.

- Okay, listen.

I'm going to have to
hide out here tonight.

If you cooperate, everything will be fine

and I should be out of your
life by tomorrow morning,

all right?

- Mm hmm.

- Look, do you have
anything to eat around here?

- Some frozen pizza.

Do you want me to heat it up?

- What's a frozen pizza?

Good frozen pizza.

- I need to go next door

to pick something up from my friend.

- Okay.

- Hello, there, warrior.

Look what I found in the elevator.

You can have her back in
exchange for the ball.

Come on, the ball, or I'll
chop her head right off.

Stop.

That's more like it.

- Let her go now.

- Yeah, right.

Sure I will.

Here.

- How do you feel?

- Okay.

Where's that man?

Is he gone?

- Yeah, he's gone.

And he won't be coming back.

- Is the game really going on?

- Yeah, and unless I get
that ball back, I'm finished.

- You mean you need the ball to win

and you let him have it to save me?

- I must get it back.

- If I knew exactly what was going on,

maybe I could help you.

- Yeah.

Food.

- This place you come
from, what is it like?

- My people have been
suffering for many years.

They don't have much freedom.

We don't have much choice.

It's our word against our government's.

We've been fighting a hopeless war

for as long as I can remember.

- If you win this game, what will you do?

- I don't know.

My fate is in someone else's hands.

- This Gothic, what does he want?

Where does he come from?

Why does he-

- I don't know too much about him.

Just that he thinks he's doing us a favor

by giving us a chance.

- My friends, the game
will end at noon today.

The fighter who possesses
the ball at that time,

is the bravest, the
strongest and the best.

He will be the winner
deserving of my offering.

As you see, Moozy is presently
in possession of the ball.

He is within a jungle.

If he should defeat Zane and
Skullblaster before noon,

then the game will end earlier

and he will be summoned to
accept his prize of freedom.

But remember one thing,

Skullblaster cannot be taken lightly.

- We're not far from it here.

- All of this seems so bizarre.

I mean, it's like something
you see in the movies.

- Everything I've told you is true.

You're blessed to have such justice

and freedom in your government.

- What happens if you
don't make it on time?

- There can only be one winner.

The rest will be terminated.

Thanks for helping me out.

Take good care of yourself.

- Cindy.

- Zane.

Zane.

- Cindy.

- Zane, where are you.

Zane.

- Cindy.

- He tried to kill me.

We got to get out of here.

- Okay, let's go.

- Got a flat tire.

When I came out to fix it, he attacked me.

I think he wants to kill both of us.

- Which one was it?

What did he look like?

- It was the big, muscular
guy who attacked me

the night of that- that accident.

- Yeah, that's Skullblaster.

He's vicious.

We'll be safe here for a while.

- I fell down.

- We should take care of that.

- Where do we go from here?

- There isn't much time left.

I must keep the ball in my possession.

I'm afraid all we can do is run and hide.

- Are you scared as I am?

- My concern right now is to protect you.

- How sweet.

Now I can kill both of you.

- Here, run.

Come on.

Let's hurry.

I think I'm the last one.

What time is it?

- It's 11:55.

Only five minutes left.

- They're not acknowledging me.

That means one of them is still alive.

- Let go.

Let me go.

- [Cindy] Help, help.

Help.

Zane, help.

Zane.

- Careful.

- Thank God.

- Congratulations, fighter.

You are the winner.

You're a free man and can
go anywhere in the universe.

- I hope you and the rest
of your crazy friends

enjoy this sick game of yours.

- How dare you?

- How dare you kill people for fun?

- Silence, before I-

- Before you what?

Kill me too?

You're a contemptible being.

- You just ruined your chances.

You doesn't deserve to live any longer.

- It is you who doesn't
deserve to live any longer.

I'll see you in hell.

Game's over, fellas.

- Zane.

- I got a lot learning to do.

Maybe you can teach me a few things

since I'm gonna be spending
the rest of my life here.
