Joe Bullet (1973) - full transcript
When local soccer team The Eagles fall prey to a series of onslaughts from a mysterious gangster only a week before the championship final, the team turns to the one man that can help save their chances at victory - Joe Bullet (Ken Gampu). Joe will have to battle against villainous henchmen, escape booby-trap bombs and bring his martial arts expertise to the fore in order to survive an attack from a deadly assassin. In the end he will have to infiltrate the mysterious gangster's hide-out in a dangerous cat-and-mouse rescue mission to save not only The Eagles' two kidnapped star players, but that of his beautiful love interest, Beauty (Abigail Kubeka). The odds will be stacked against him, but he's the man that fights crime, the man that no one can tie down! Joe Bullet!
>> There are only a few minutes
to go in the second half of this
Cup final match between Falcons
and Eagles, and still there is
no score.
Jerry have the ball and make a
magnificent run on the win.
Oh, what a player this man,
Jerry, is.
Last year, he was playing
for the Falcon
but changed to the Eagles
at the beginning of the season.
Since then, he has been
their highest goal scorer.
Jerry Santos.
It is taken by Ralph,
but is robbed by Bennett.
Taken by Jackson for Falcons but
saved by goalie block!
The Falcons are now or never,
and Santos to Ross.
But it's swiped by Clarke.
He gives the ball to Bennett.
Bennett to Ross, shoots,
but the goal is saved by goalie!
of the Eagles!
The ball is now on the loose
player on the other side of the
field.
There can be many minutes
left in this game,
and it must be well into an
Eagles volley.
Oh, what a magnificent save
by goalie Brown.
The play's fast and furious,
around the Falcon's goal,
but Eagles just can't make it!
And that was the final whistle
for this Cup tie.
There will have to be a replay.
Just listen to the crowd.

[ Whistle blowing ]
>> Hello, Lucas.
>> Hello, Mr. Poko.
>> How are things going?
>> Meet my friend, Rockey,
a football fan
and very interested
in the Eagles.
>> How do you do?
>> How do you do?
It is not often I have a chance
to watch a team training.
But, uh, Mr. Poko invited me
over.
>> You're welcome.
>> That was a very good game
last Saturday, Lucas.
But I think the boys will have
to put in a little more effort
if we are to win the cup.
>> The boys are training hard.
Just watch that ball control.
Jerry and Flash are the backbone
of the team.
Jerry's 66 and Flash
is triple one.
Just watch them play.
>> I don't want to interfere
with your work, Lucas.
But as president of the club,
I must say what I think.
It seems to me they ought
to play more like a team.
They're inclined
to be all individuals.
Get them to pass the ball
more often
and not dribble around
until they lose it.
>> That's exactly what
I'm trying to do.
Excuse me. I won't be long.
>> All right.
>> What are you chances
for the cup?
>> Come and meet the man
it depends on.
>> Can I get a picture?
>> Not at the moment.
>> Let me have one picture
with you, Flash, and Jerry.
>> Well, okay. Come, you two.
Come and have your picture
taken.
[ Camera clicking ]
>> Uh, could you give me an idea
of your training methods?
>> No more time.
>> Please, my readers are very
interested in the Eagles.
>> Could I have your autograph,
sir?
And you, sir, please?
>> It is only my job, after all.
>> Where is Mr. Lucas?
>> Over there, son.
>> There you are, son.
>> No, no, no, no.
I have no more time.
Come on, you guys. Back to it.
>> Aah!
[ Groans ]
>> Hurry, hurry.
Let's get away from here.
[ Toilet flushes ]
>> * Joe Bullet
[ Indistinct singing ]
>> Are you sure your scheme
will work?
>> I have done it before.
>> You find a football team that
depends on two or more players,
like the Eagles.
You bet heavily on the opponent
then bribe the players
to change sides.
>> And if they won't be bribed?
>> Eliminate them.
Simple, isn't it?
[ Pool balls break ]
>> I have reason to believe
the Eagles need a new trainer.
>> Well done, Sonny.
Well done.
I want those guys back
with the Falcons by next week.
If not, get rid of them.
>> I'll hang around and wait
for you, Joe.
>> I won't be long.
>> Okay, Joe.
>> Hi, Joe.
>> Hi, Flash.
>> We need your help.
>> I've heard about Lucas.
No sign of the killer,
I suppose?
>> Unh-unh.
But I know who's behind it.
>> Who did it?
>> The Vulture Gang.
>> The Vultures?
>> You know, last year, when
Jerry and I left the Falcons
to play for Eagles,
we were threatened.
I'm sure it's them.
>> And now they're meeting
the Falcons for the cup final.
Are they still bothering you?
>> No, not the team,
but the gang handler.
You see, they want us to join
the Falcons.
So they can win the cup final.
>> And you want me to keep them
off your backs?
>> Please, Joe.
And you can help with training.
>> Hey.
Anything else you want me to do?
>> Please, Joe.
Until the cup final.
>> Okay, Flash.
I'll do it.
But you better win the cup.
>> Thanks, Joe.
Thanks.
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Dan Poko speaking.
>> How are you, Mr. Poko?
>> Very well, thanks.
Who's that?
>> That's not important.
Listen carefully.
This is our final warning.
We want Flash and Jerry
to join the Falcons
before the cup final.
>> What you talking about?
You must be crazy.
They are our best.
>> Exactly.
>> Impossible.
>> Lucas refused our offer.
And you are next.
>> Lucas?
This whole thing is ridiculous.
I am not prepared
to discuss it any longer.
Who are you?
>> You've had your chance.
Don't regret it.
>> Hello?
Hello?
>> What's wrong, dear?
>> I'm in serious trouble.
I think I better go and warn
Joe.
Go get the car.
[ Gunshot ]
>> [ Screams ]
>> What the?!
Are you all right?
>> Yes.
Let's go before they come back.
>> That's gate number two.
That's the one Flash and Jerry
always use.
>> Leave me alone!
>> How long you'll get, Jerry.
Three things.
Get back to the Falcons.
[ Whistle blows ]
>> All fours.
>> One, two, one, two, one, two.
>> Flash.
>> Get the boys
out of sight of the field.
>> Why?
>> Don't ask questions now.
Do it, man. Do it at once.
Do it.
>> Okay.
>> That way, that way.
>> Get to the car.
Get to the car, quick.
>> What's wrong?
>> Joe Bullet saw.
Joe Bullet saw me. He's coming.
>> Don't worry.
He'll never catch us in this
car.
>> Blow the whistle for me and
keep them over the other side.
>> Better go and tell the boss.
Bullet is working with the
Eagles.
>> What happens now?
They could really get us
on our way home.
>> Mm.
You guys have to stick together
from now on.
>> Hey. I've got a place
right out of town.
>> Sounds great.
Could we use it?
>> Certainly.
>> Hey, you guys.
Get your clothes together
and get over to the president's
place, okay?
>> I'll visit you're farm one
evening.
Good luck with your new training
quarters.
>> You know you're always
welcome, Rockey.
[ Men singing ]
>> There he goes.
[ Singing continues ]
>> Where are they?
>> Oh, please. I'm an old man.
They -- they gave me money
to drive to the farm.
>> Are they still at the
stadium?
>> I don't know.
They went along the main road.
>> Let him go.
[ Engine starts ]
>> [ Laughing ]
[ Tires screech ]
>> Seal.
>> What are you doing back here?
Did he get away?
Answer me!
>> Yes.
>> [ Coughs ]
Did you hear that, Sonny?
They got away.
>> Well, the cards will tell.
If it's black,
you get a beating.
If it's red, make it quick.
Take it.
Take it.
The carpet, Sonny.
The carpet.
Take him outside.
[ Explosion ]
>> [ Laughs ]
[ Explosion ]
[ Laughs ]
>> Watch out.
Get out quickly!
Joe!
Get us out, quick!
>> Joe Bullet.
Let's move.
>> Joe!
There they go!
>> [ Screams ]
Help!
Help!
>> Beauty!
>> Help! Help!
>> Hold on, Beauty. Hold on.
>> Are you all right?
>> [ Groans ]
>> Joe will get them.
>> Who is your leader?
Tell me!
Who is your leader?
Tell me!
>> I'm sorry you've failed.
The reason why Lucas was killed
was to set an example.
The attack on the president
was only to alarm them.
When the threats at the stadium
were ignored,
it was necessary to act
against the president seriously.
But thanks to Joe Bullet,
everything has come to nothing.
Joe Bullet must be eliminated.
I have no intention of failing
because of one man.
There is a man named
Spike Robbins who is a hired
killer.
Phone him at the gym.
He'll be there now doing his
karate exercises.
>> [ Breathes deeply ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Hello?
>> May I speak to Spike?
>> Speaking.
>> Spike.
Sonny here.
>> Listen, Spike.
I have something in your line
of business.
Are you interested?
>> Who is it?
>> Joe Bullet.
>> I'm not interested.
>> The reward will be high.
Come on, Spike.
What do you say?
>> 10 grand.
Nothing less.
>> 10 grand?
Okay.
I'll come and see you tonight.
>> Tonight.
>> Ah, don't get up, my boy.
Just take it easy.
Easy, now.
You seem to have had a lucky
break after tangling with
Joe Bullet.
But you made it, and I'm glad.
How you escaped, I don't know.
Sonny thought you'd copped it.
He was wrong.
Must have been tough.
>> He caught me.
>> Yeah, Sonny told me.
He also said you put up a fight,
enabling him to make his
getaway.
I hope he appreciates that.
I like people in my organization
to show spirit.
It is almost a sure sign
that you can rely on them.
Trust them.
And when one does things
beyond the call of duty, I think
it should be well rewarded.
>> [ Screams ]
>> [ Singing in native
language ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Hello?
Joe Bullet here.
Hello?
[ Chimes ringing ]
>> [ Singing in native
language ]
[ Singing continues ]
>> Yes. Yes.
But there's no doubt.
With boys like Flash and Jerry,
we can't lose.
I've told you before.
>> Come on, Jerry.
Let's go into the dining room.
>> Why do women change so much?
>> What do you mean, Jerry?
>> You know, one minute
I think I've got you, girl.
And then the next thing,
another guy comes along.
>> You mean Joe?
>> I was your man, Beauty.
Now suddenly it's Joe Bullet.
>> I don't think Joe
really cares about me.
>> But you wish he did.
>> Yes.
I do.
>> Hi, Jerry.
>> She's all yours, lover boy.
>> That's what the man said,
lover, boss.
>> Hi, Bennett.
You enjoying yourself?
That's good, man.
>> Hi, folks.
>> Hi, Joe.
How's the training going?
>> Well, um, that's a good
question.
In good shape for the cup final.
But, uh, they lack spirit.
>> Spirits?
That's what I need right now.
[ Laughter ]
Come on, Lillian.
>> I organized this party
just for that reason.
>> Yes.
But you must be very careful.
These boys mean business.
How did they know we were
working at the farm?
>> I don't know.
But it's very strange.
Enjoying yourself?
>> What's wrong with Jerry?
You his girlfriend or something?
>> Not really, Joe.
I like him.
But, uh, no sparks fly.
>> I see.
>> Why so glum?
Come on, cheer up, man,
and let's enjoy the party.
>> I've got nothing to cheer up
about.
I'm still getting threats.
I feel like joining the Falcons,
and I'd prefer it.
>> We're the greatest, boy.
Look, we're a team.
Remember, we got Joe Bullet
behind us.
>> We can talk about one guy
and his whole gang.
They get him in the end.
>> But that's the only way,
Jerry, and you know it.
>> I'd rather play for the
Falcons and stay alive.
What's more, there's the money
in it.
>> Aw, come on, man.
They'll never kill you.
They just want you to kick the
ball and score more goals for
them.
>> Kick the ball and score more
goals.
Then what about Lucas?
>> Oh, well, he was merely a
trainer.
>> Glad to see you, Flash.
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Joe, I'm worried
about the death of Lucas.
And now they've blown up my dam.
What next?
>> Don't worry about that.
I'll organize a bulldozer
next week to repair the damage.
>> You mean it?
>> Tell me, Rockey.
What's the secret
of your success?
>> It's simple.
It's like a game.
As long as you make the first
move.
>> I've known Rockey for very
many years.
He used to be professor
of zoology,
specializing in reptiles.
Then he started
a sideline business
as an excavating contractor.
He's a methodical man
and perseveres
in everything he does.
>> And another thing.
I have a lot of patience.
And I don't make mistakes.
>> No matter how good you are,
sooner or later one makes
a mistake.
>> Not me, boy.
I'm too clever.
And I don't make mistakes.
>> Please cut me another piece
of pork, Rockey.
>> See you around.
>> Okay.
[ Chimes ringing ]
>> [ Grunts ]
[ Tapping ]
[ Timer ticking ]
[ Ticking continues ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
>> [ Breathes deeply ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Is that Joe Bullet?
>> Speaking.
>> You don't know me,
Mr. Bullet.
My name is Fred.
I have important information
for you about the bomb
in your apartment last night.
Will you meet me at the railway
station at 9:00?
I'll introduce myself.
Platform number two,
coach number 8681,
compartment F.
>> 9:00 sharp.
Okay, Fred.
>> Popeye! You're getting old.
Get up!
You have a job to do.
>> What's cooking this time?
>> I want you to go over and
make arrangements with Rockey
for that bulldozer.
If we don't do it now,
he may forget it.
Come on, get up.
>> There's more of them
than expected.
>> Yeah.
>> Tell the president if we do
this, it should be ready
by the end of this week.
That's good for all of us.

Three days before the cup final.
If the gang is going to move,
they'll do it today.
Want you to mix with the crowd
and keep your eyes open.
If you see anything suspicious,
please let me know.
>> Okay, Joe.
>> I'm meeting Flash
and Jerry at Gate 2.
>> Okay.
>> Hey, we're lucky we missed
the pass.
>> Yes, it was a tough match.
>> It was.
Hi, Jerry.
I'm gonna keep my stuff here.
>> Sure.
>> Thanks.
Say, uh, Horatio?
Will you tell Joe to meet us
outside Gate number 2?
>> Yes.
>> We're waiting for Beauty.
Come on, Jerry.
>> Come quick!
Beauty's had an accident.
She's in the ambulance.
We're taking her to the
hospital.
Go. Go away.
You better hurry.
Get in, please.
>> Have any one of you
seen Flash and Jerry?
>> They're meeting Beauty
at Gate number 2.
Hold this.
>> Look. If I'm not back before
the cup final, tell the manager
to use Torres as your right.
>> What?
>> Nothing wrong.
But see that you win the cup,
huh? Right.
>> Don't worry. We will.
Now listen, you guys,
there's nothing to worry about.
>> Have you seen Flash and
Jerry?
>> No. Not anywhere. No.
>> Thank you.
Where's Flash?
>> In the ambulance outside.
>> Come, boy. Come and show me.
You know, Popeye,
the position is serious.
The president has lost his
daughter and the team their best
players.
Unless we find them,
the Eagles don't stand a chance
in the cup final tomorrow.
If only we could find out
who is their leader.
This corruption in sport must
stop.
Look, Popeye.
Are you sure you have never seen
this sign before?
It's a D with a lightning
flash going through it.
Now are you sure this means
nothing to you?
>> It seems to ring a bell.
>> It does?
>> I've seen it.
I know I've seen it.
I know where I've seen it.
>> Are you sure?
>> I'm afraid so.
>> Do you know where they are?
>> I don't know.
Ambulance took off before we got
to the car.
>> They might have gone down
to the old mine.
The place is heavily guarded.
You can't just walk
in there by yourself.
>> I know the place.
But you've got to be a bird
to get in there.
>> Hey, you've given me an idea.
Let's go.
>> Hey, wait a minute.
There it is.
>> Now just remember,
count 10 then pull the cord, all
right?
Count 10 and pull the cord,
Popeye.
>> I can't! I can't!
>> Oh, you can do it.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
>> [ Screams ]
[ Chickens bawking ]
[ Chickens bawking ]
>> This way, Popeye.
This way.
[ Goats bleating ]
>> You try that way.
>> [ Grunts ]
>> [ Grunts ]
>> Think you can work it out?
>> I can't take much more of
this.
>> They're going to kill Beauty
if you don't play for the
Falcons.
>> It's built like a bank here.
We'll never get out.
>> Hadn't you better play for
them?
I mean, these guys might kill
Beauty if --
>> Don't kid yourself!
Step out of it, Jerry.
They'll never let it go,
whether we play or not.
>> Okay. Okay.
I only hope Joe Bullet manages
to find us.
>> Hey, you guys.
Talking about me again.
>> Joe?
>> Come here, come here.
>> Stand well away from the
door.
I'll try and break it down,
okay?
Right.
[ Engine rumbling ]
>> Hey, hey. Get out of here.
>> Grab the car and get to the
stadium.
And don't worry,
I'll get Beauty.
And you win that match for us.
[ Engine starts ]
>> Cheer up, honey.
It won't be long.
>> Leave me alone.
>> Over.
>> Joe Bullet is here with the
other men.
The footballers have escaped.
>> What?
What?
Ahh.
Sonny? Sonny?
>> Yes.
>> That Bullet bastard is here.
>> We better hurry.
Help me to move her forward.
>> Attention.
Two strangers have entered our
premises.
I want the big one alive,
bring him to my office.
>> Ha!
>> [ Grunts ]
>> Aah!
Aah!
[ Punches landing ]
>> Are you all right, Popeye?
[ Door creaks ]
[ Knocks on door ]
>> [ Grunting ]
>> Popeye.
Popeye.
>> And here at the stadium,
the Falcons take the field
for the cup final replay
against the Eagles.
It will be a very interesting
match, as I understand
that Flash and Jerry,
the Eagles' best players,
may very well be absent today.
[ Tires screech ]
>> Where the hell you been?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
>> Are we late?
>> Yes, you are.
>> Where the hell is Joe?
>> Look, don't worry about Joe.
We must just win this game.
>> No! What a surprise!
The Eagles take the field, and
there is Flash and Jerry!
>> I'm going to have to kill
you.
>> No.
Please.
>> [ Laughs ]
>> Don't!
>> I wouldn't do that.
>> Let her go!
You made a mistake this time,
Rockey.
>> Pass me that toy, now.
>> No.
No.
Oh.
[ Crying ]
>> [ Laughs ]
.32.
Junk!
[ Laughing ]
>> No, no, no, no, Sonny,
please.
Please, Sonny. Leave him.
Leave him. He's mine, Sonny.
I want him to die slowly.
[ Laughs ]
[ Grunts ]
>> No.
No.
>> Tie him up. Tie him up.
I'll keep these as a little
souvenir.
Search him well.
This guy's full of surprises.
[ Laughing ]
Is this the great hero?
[ Laughing ]
Sonny, run to the airport
for the plane.
Tell them we want to get out
of here immediately.
Get up the tower for --
for better reception.
Hurry.
>> I never trusted you,
you rotten pig.
But we both make mistakes.
>> Shut up, you fool.
I could have killed you much
earlier.
Only I want to have my fun
before I leave.
>> Leave?
>> Yes.
In 4 hours time,
I will be across the border,
safe, sound and rich and --
and a beautiful girl to keep me
company.
Bitch!
>> [ Screams ]
>> Don't ever try that again.
I could've given you everything,
Beauty.
>> Don't.
>> If only you'd listened to me.
>> No. Leave him alone.
Leave him alone!
Aah!
No!
No!
Please.
>> You don't want me?
Nobody interferes with my
business and lives.
You want him?
You can have him.
But not alive.
>> Don't.
No.
No!
>> I'll show you something
that can spit, baby.
[ Laughs ]
My little beauty.
[ Laughing ]
Egyptian spitting cobra,
the same pet that killed your
brother.
It is not alone from the
deadliness and his almost
hysterical disposition that the
present reptile have got
notoriety, but he also has
the most virulent poison
of all snakes.
The Egyptian cobra might well
be termed the most sensational,
viper -- neo-toxic.
It can strike at any moving
object, faster than the mamba,
aims accurately,
can spit accurately,
can kill a man in 5 minutes,
even the great Joe Bullet.
[ Laughing ]
[ Snake hisses ]
[ Laughing ]
So long, Mr. Bullet.
>> Joe.
Joe.
>> Don't move, Beauty.
Keep still.
Don't move.
>> Don't.
>> Use this.
I'll kill that bastard with my
bare hands.
>> Careful, Joe.
>> Now only a few minutes
to go in this cup final replay.
Oh, what a magnificent match.
No score so far.
These teams are so evenly
matched that anything could
happen.
The Falcons gather around
as Ross changes his shirt,
which got torn in that last
exchange.
And then Poko, the president
of the Eagles, take the
opportunity of having a final
word with the team.
And there's go the whistle,
and the play's on.
Still no score
in one of the toughest matches
we've seen on this ground.
The Falcons are playing
a tremendous game, but just
can't break through the Eagles'
defense.
Time and again, they are stopped
just when they are ready
to take the ball through.
Flash passes to Jerry, who boots
the ball well upfield to Ross.
Cross back to Flash, who runs
through.
Shoots, but then the ball
is stopped by goalie Brown.
He had a chance this time
for a moment, but was robbed by
Bennett.
Now the play is very red and
developing into two-man duels.
Why doesn't Baker pass?
He has lost it.
It's taken by Ross, who passes
it to Flash.
Flash runs up the wing.
What a magnificent run!
There's nobody who can get it.
He's holding it well into the
Falcons' half.
The crowd cheers and is going
mad.
He steadies himself and shoots.
It's a goal!
Goal!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Whistle blows ]
And that was the final whistle.
The Eagles have won by one goal
to nil.
And this was a magnificent match
by the Eagles in sudden death.
[ Indistinct announcing ]
And by winning this game,
the Eagles have proved to be
this year's champion of games.
And now, once again,
back to the studios.
>> I lost my money.
My money.
>> Come on, Rockey, hurry!
I've got contact.
Come on!
>> We must get out of here,
Sonny.
Come on! Let's go.
Let's go.
Now give me that thing. Come on!
>> I've got contact.
Please hurry.

This is zero one zero red,
two one two decimal five, over.
>> Come in, zero one zero red,
over.
>> Get the plane ready in one
hour.
We're leaving for headquarters.
Over and out.
>> [ Speaks indistinctly ]
>> Impossible.
My god.
If only I'd brought that gun.
Impossible.
My god.
We've got to kill him!
Go and get him, Sonny.
>> [ Grunting ]
>> [ Panting ]
[ Metal scraping ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
>> [ Laughing ]
>> You'll have to pass me to get
down.
That's why -- that's why I'm
going to kill you.
[ Laughing ]

to go in the second half of this
Cup final match between Falcons
and Eagles, and still there is
no score.
Jerry have the ball and make a
magnificent run on the win.
Oh, what a player this man,
Jerry, is.
Last year, he was playing
for the Falcon
but changed to the Eagles
at the beginning of the season.
Since then, he has been
their highest goal scorer.
Jerry Santos.
It is taken by Ralph,
but is robbed by Bennett.
Taken by Jackson for Falcons but
saved by goalie block!
The Falcons are now or never,
and Santos to Ross.
But it's swiped by Clarke.
He gives the ball to Bennett.
Bennett to Ross, shoots,
but the goal is saved by goalie!
of the Eagles!
The ball is now on the loose
player on the other side of the
field.
There can be many minutes
left in this game,
and it must be well into an
Eagles volley.
Oh, what a magnificent save
by goalie Brown.
The play's fast and furious,
around the Falcon's goal,
but Eagles just can't make it!
And that was the final whistle
for this Cup tie.
There will have to be a replay.
Just listen to the crowd.

[ Whistle blowing ]
>> Hello, Lucas.
>> Hello, Mr. Poko.
>> How are things going?
>> Meet my friend, Rockey,
a football fan
and very interested
in the Eagles.
>> How do you do?
>> How do you do?
It is not often I have a chance
to watch a team training.
But, uh, Mr. Poko invited me
over.
>> You're welcome.
>> That was a very good game
last Saturday, Lucas.
But I think the boys will have
to put in a little more effort
if we are to win the cup.
>> The boys are training hard.
Just watch that ball control.
Jerry and Flash are the backbone
of the team.
Jerry's 66 and Flash
is triple one.
Just watch them play.
>> I don't want to interfere
with your work, Lucas.
But as president of the club,
I must say what I think.
It seems to me they ought
to play more like a team.
They're inclined
to be all individuals.
Get them to pass the ball
more often
and not dribble around
until they lose it.
>> That's exactly what
I'm trying to do.
Excuse me. I won't be long.
>> All right.
>> What are you chances
for the cup?
>> Come and meet the man
it depends on.
>> Can I get a picture?
>> Not at the moment.
>> Let me have one picture
with you, Flash, and Jerry.
>> Well, okay. Come, you two.
Come and have your picture
taken.
[ Camera clicking ]
>> Uh, could you give me an idea
of your training methods?
>> No more time.
>> Please, my readers are very
interested in the Eagles.
>> Could I have your autograph,
sir?
And you, sir, please?
>> It is only my job, after all.
>> Where is Mr. Lucas?
>> Over there, son.
>> There you are, son.
>> No, no, no, no.
I have no more time.
Come on, you guys. Back to it.
>> Aah!
[ Groans ]
>> Hurry, hurry.
Let's get away from here.
[ Toilet flushes ]
>> * Joe Bullet
[ Indistinct singing ]
>> Are you sure your scheme
will work?
>> I have done it before.
>> You find a football team that
depends on two or more players,
like the Eagles.
You bet heavily on the opponent
then bribe the players
to change sides.
>> And if they won't be bribed?
>> Eliminate them.
Simple, isn't it?
[ Pool balls break ]
>> I have reason to believe
the Eagles need a new trainer.
>> Well done, Sonny.
Well done.
I want those guys back
with the Falcons by next week.
If not, get rid of them.
>> I'll hang around and wait
for you, Joe.
>> I won't be long.
>> Okay, Joe.
>> Hi, Joe.
>> Hi, Flash.
>> We need your help.
>> I've heard about Lucas.
No sign of the killer,
I suppose?
>> Unh-unh.
But I know who's behind it.
>> Who did it?
>> The Vulture Gang.
>> The Vultures?
>> You know, last year, when
Jerry and I left the Falcons
to play for Eagles,
we were threatened.
I'm sure it's them.
>> And now they're meeting
the Falcons for the cup final.
Are they still bothering you?
>> No, not the team,
but the gang handler.
You see, they want us to join
the Falcons.
So they can win the cup final.
>> And you want me to keep them
off your backs?
>> Please, Joe.
And you can help with training.
>> Hey.
Anything else you want me to do?
>> Please, Joe.
Until the cup final.
>> Okay, Flash.
I'll do it.
But you better win the cup.
>> Thanks, Joe.
Thanks.
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Dan Poko speaking.
>> How are you, Mr. Poko?
>> Very well, thanks.
Who's that?
>> That's not important.
Listen carefully.
This is our final warning.
We want Flash and Jerry
to join the Falcons
before the cup final.
>> What you talking about?
You must be crazy.
They are our best.
>> Exactly.
>> Impossible.
>> Lucas refused our offer.
And you are next.
>> Lucas?
This whole thing is ridiculous.
I am not prepared
to discuss it any longer.
Who are you?
>> You've had your chance.
Don't regret it.
>> Hello?
Hello?
>> What's wrong, dear?
>> I'm in serious trouble.
I think I better go and warn
Joe.
Go get the car.
[ Gunshot ]
>> [ Screams ]
>> What the?!
Are you all right?
>> Yes.
Let's go before they come back.
>> That's gate number two.
That's the one Flash and Jerry
always use.
>> Leave me alone!
>> How long you'll get, Jerry.
Three things.
Get back to the Falcons.
[ Whistle blows ]
>> All fours.
>> One, two, one, two, one, two.
>> Flash.
>> Get the boys
out of sight of the field.
>> Why?
>> Don't ask questions now.
Do it, man. Do it at once.
Do it.
>> Okay.
>> That way, that way.
>> Get to the car.
Get to the car, quick.
>> What's wrong?
>> Joe Bullet saw.
Joe Bullet saw me. He's coming.
>> Don't worry.
He'll never catch us in this
car.
>> Blow the whistle for me and
keep them over the other side.
>> Better go and tell the boss.
Bullet is working with the
Eagles.
>> What happens now?
They could really get us
on our way home.
>> Mm.
You guys have to stick together
from now on.
>> Hey. I've got a place
right out of town.
>> Sounds great.
Could we use it?
>> Certainly.
>> Hey, you guys.
Get your clothes together
and get over to the president's
place, okay?
>> I'll visit you're farm one
evening.
Good luck with your new training
quarters.
>> You know you're always
welcome, Rockey.
[ Men singing ]
>> There he goes.
[ Singing continues ]
>> Where are they?
>> Oh, please. I'm an old man.
They -- they gave me money
to drive to the farm.
>> Are they still at the
stadium?
>> I don't know.
They went along the main road.
>> Let him go.
[ Engine starts ]
>> [ Laughing ]
[ Tires screech ]
>> Seal.
>> What are you doing back here?
Did he get away?
Answer me!
>> Yes.
>> [ Coughs ]
Did you hear that, Sonny?
They got away.
>> Well, the cards will tell.
If it's black,
you get a beating.
If it's red, make it quick.
Take it.
Take it.
The carpet, Sonny.
The carpet.
Take him outside.
[ Explosion ]
>> [ Laughs ]
[ Explosion ]
[ Laughs ]
>> Watch out.
Get out quickly!
Joe!
Get us out, quick!
>> Joe Bullet.
Let's move.
>> Joe!
There they go!
>> [ Screams ]
Help!
Help!
>> Beauty!
>> Help! Help!
>> Hold on, Beauty. Hold on.
>> Are you all right?
>> [ Groans ]
>> Joe will get them.
>> Who is your leader?
Tell me!
Who is your leader?
Tell me!
>> I'm sorry you've failed.
The reason why Lucas was killed
was to set an example.
The attack on the president
was only to alarm them.
When the threats at the stadium
were ignored,
it was necessary to act
against the president seriously.
But thanks to Joe Bullet,
everything has come to nothing.
Joe Bullet must be eliminated.
I have no intention of failing
because of one man.
There is a man named
Spike Robbins who is a hired
killer.
Phone him at the gym.
He'll be there now doing his
karate exercises.
>> [ Breathes deeply ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Hello?
>> May I speak to Spike?
>> Speaking.
>> Spike.
Sonny here.
>> Listen, Spike.
I have something in your line
of business.
Are you interested?
>> Who is it?
>> Joe Bullet.
>> I'm not interested.
>> The reward will be high.
Come on, Spike.
What do you say?
>> 10 grand.
Nothing less.
>> 10 grand?
Okay.
I'll come and see you tonight.
>> Tonight.
>> Ah, don't get up, my boy.
Just take it easy.
Easy, now.
You seem to have had a lucky
break after tangling with
Joe Bullet.
But you made it, and I'm glad.
How you escaped, I don't know.
Sonny thought you'd copped it.
He was wrong.
Must have been tough.
>> He caught me.
>> Yeah, Sonny told me.
He also said you put up a fight,
enabling him to make his
getaway.
I hope he appreciates that.
I like people in my organization
to show spirit.
It is almost a sure sign
that you can rely on them.
Trust them.
And when one does things
beyond the call of duty, I think
it should be well rewarded.
>> [ Screams ]
>> [ Singing in native
language ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Hello?
Joe Bullet here.
Hello?
[ Chimes ringing ]
>> [ Singing in native
language ]
[ Singing continues ]
>> Yes. Yes.
But there's no doubt.
With boys like Flash and Jerry,
we can't lose.
I've told you before.
>> Come on, Jerry.
Let's go into the dining room.
>> Why do women change so much?
>> What do you mean, Jerry?
>> You know, one minute
I think I've got you, girl.
And then the next thing,
another guy comes along.
>> You mean Joe?
>> I was your man, Beauty.
Now suddenly it's Joe Bullet.
>> I don't think Joe
really cares about me.
>> But you wish he did.
>> Yes.
I do.
>> Hi, Jerry.
>> She's all yours, lover boy.
>> That's what the man said,
lover, boss.
>> Hi, Bennett.
You enjoying yourself?
That's good, man.
>> Hi, folks.
>> Hi, Joe.
How's the training going?
>> Well, um, that's a good
question.
In good shape for the cup final.
But, uh, they lack spirit.
>> Spirits?
That's what I need right now.
[ Laughter ]
Come on, Lillian.
>> I organized this party
just for that reason.
>> Yes.
But you must be very careful.
These boys mean business.
How did they know we were
working at the farm?
>> I don't know.
But it's very strange.
Enjoying yourself?
>> What's wrong with Jerry?
You his girlfriend or something?
>> Not really, Joe.
I like him.
But, uh, no sparks fly.
>> I see.
>> Why so glum?
Come on, cheer up, man,
and let's enjoy the party.
>> I've got nothing to cheer up
about.
I'm still getting threats.
I feel like joining the Falcons,
and I'd prefer it.
>> We're the greatest, boy.
Look, we're a team.
Remember, we got Joe Bullet
behind us.
>> We can talk about one guy
and his whole gang.
They get him in the end.
>> But that's the only way,
Jerry, and you know it.
>> I'd rather play for the
Falcons and stay alive.
What's more, there's the money
in it.
>> Aw, come on, man.
They'll never kill you.
They just want you to kick the
ball and score more goals for
them.
>> Kick the ball and score more
goals.
Then what about Lucas?
>> Oh, well, he was merely a
trainer.
>> Glad to see you, Flash.
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Joe, I'm worried
about the death of Lucas.
And now they've blown up my dam.
What next?
>> Don't worry about that.
I'll organize a bulldozer
next week to repair the damage.
>> You mean it?
>> Tell me, Rockey.
What's the secret
of your success?
>> It's simple.
It's like a game.
As long as you make the first
move.
>> I've known Rockey for very
many years.
He used to be professor
of zoology,
specializing in reptiles.
Then he started
a sideline business
as an excavating contractor.
He's a methodical man
and perseveres
in everything he does.
>> And another thing.
I have a lot of patience.
And I don't make mistakes.
>> No matter how good you are,
sooner or later one makes
a mistake.
>> Not me, boy.
I'm too clever.
And I don't make mistakes.
>> Please cut me another piece
of pork, Rockey.
>> See you around.
>> Okay.
[ Chimes ringing ]
>> [ Grunts ]
[ Tapping ]
[ Timer ticking ]
[ Ticking continues ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
>> [ Breathes deeply ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Telephone ringing ]
>> Is that Joe Bullet?
>> Speaking.
>> You don't know me,
Mr. Bullet.
My name is Fred.
I have important information
for you about the bomb
in your apartment last night.
Will you meet me at the railway
station at 9:00?
I'll introduce myself.
Platform number two,
coach number 8681,
compartment F.
>> 9:00 sharp.
Okay, Fred.
>> Popeye! You're getting old.
Get up!
You have a job to do.
>> What's cooking this time?
>> I want you to go over and
make arrangements with Rockey
for that bulldozer.
If we don't do it now,
he may forget it.
Come on, get up.
>> There's more of them
than expected.
>> Yeah.
>> Tell the president if we do
this, it should be ready
by the end of this week.
That's good for all of us.

Three days before the cup final.

Want you to mix with the crowd
and keep your eyes open.
If you see anything suspicious,
please let me know.
>> Okay, Joe.
>> I'm meeting Flash
and Jerry at Gate 2.
>> Okay.
>> Hey, we're lucky we missed
the pass.
>> Yes, it was a tough match.
>> It was.
Hi, Jerry.
I'm gonna keep my stuff here.
>> Sure.
>> Thanks.
Say, uh, Horatio?
Will you tell Joe to meet us
outside Gate number 2?
>> Yes.
>> We're waiting for Beauty.
Come on, Jerry.
>> Come quick!
Beauty's had an accident.
She's in the ambulance.
We're taking her to the
hospital.
Go. Go away.
You better hurry.
Get in, please.
>> Have any one of you
seen Flash and Jerry?
>> They're meeting Beauty
at Gate number 2.
Hold this.
>> Look. If I'm not back before
the cup final, tell the manager
to use Torres as your right.
>> What?
>> Nothing wrong.
But see that you win the cup,
huh? Right.
>> Don't worry. We will.
Now listen, you guys,
there's nothing to worry about.
>> Have you seen Flash and
Jerry?
>> No. Not anywhere. No.
>> Thank you.
Where's Flash?
>> In the ambulance outside.
>> Come, boy. Come and show me.
You know, Popeye,
the position is serious.
The president has lost his
daughter and the team their best
players.
Unless we find them,
the Eagles don't stand a chance
in the cup final tomorrow.
If only we could find out
who is their leader.
This corruption in sport must
stop.
Look, Popeye.
Are you sure you have never seen
this sign before?
It's a D with a lightning
flash going through it.
Now are you sure this means
nothing to you?
>> It seems to ring a bell.
>> It does?
>> I've seen it.
I know I've seen it.
I know where I've seen it.
>> Are you sure?
>> I'm afraid so.
>> Do you know where they are?
>> I don't know.
Ambulance took off before we got
to the car.
>> They might have gone down
to the old mine.
The place is heavily guarded.
You can't just walk
in there by yourself.
>> I know the place.
But you've got to be a bird
to get in there.
>> Hey, you've given me an idea.
Let's go.
>> Hey, wait a minute.
There it is.
>> Now just remember,
count 10 then pull the cord, all
right?
Count 10 and pull the cord,
Popeye.
>> I can't! I can't!
>> Oh, you can do it.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.

>> I can't take much more of
this.
>> They're going to kill Beauty
if you don't play for the
Falcons.
>> It's built like a bank here.
We'll never get out.
>> Hadn't you better play for
them?
I mean, these guys might kill
Beauty if --
>> Don't kid yourself!
Step out of it, Jerry.
They'll never let it go,
whether we play or not.
>> Okay. Okay.
I only hope Joe Bullet manages
to find us.
>> Hey, you guys.
Talking about me again.
>> Joe?
>> Come here, come here.
>> Stand well away from the
door.
I'll try and break it down,
okay?
Right.
[ Engine rumbling ]
>> Hey, hey. Get out of here.
>> Grab the car and get to the
stadium.
And don't worry,
I'll get Beauty.
And you win that match for us.
[ Engine starts ]
>> Cheer up, honey.
It won't be long.
>> Leave me alone.
>> Over.
>> Joe Bullet is here with the
other men.
The footballers have escaped.
>> What?
What?
Ahh.
Sonny? Sonny?
>> Yes.
>> That Bullet bastard is here.
>> We better hurry.
Help me to move her forward.
>> Attention.
Two strangers have entered our
premises.
I want the big one alive,
bring him to my office.
>> Ha!
>> [ Grunts ]
>> Aah!
Aah!
[ Punches landing ]
>> Are you all right, Popeye?
[ Door creaks ]
[ Knocks on door ]
>> [ Grunting ]
>> Popeye.
Popeye.
>> And here at the stadium,
the Falcons take the field
for the cup final replay
against the Eagles.
It will be a very interesting
match, as I understand
that Flash and Jerry,
the Eagles' best players,
may very well be absent today.
[ Tires screech ]
>> Where the hell you been?
[ Indistinct conversation ]
>> Are we late?
>> Yes, you are.
>> Where the hell is Joe?
>> Look, don't worry about Joe.
We must just win this game.
>> No! What a surprise!
The Eagles take the field, and
there is Flash and Jerry!
>> I'm going to have to kill
you.
>> No.
Please.
>> [ Laughs ]
>> Don't!
>> I wouldn't do that.
>> Let her go!
You made a mistake this time,
Rockey.
>> Pass me that toy, now.
>> No.
No.
Oh.
[ Crying ]
>> [ Laughs ]
.32.
Junk!
[ Laughing ]
>> No, no, no, no, Sonny,
please.
Please, Sonny. Leave him.
Leave him. He's mine, Sonny.
I want him to die slowly.
[ Laughs ]
[ Grunts ]
>> No.
No.
>> Tie him up. Tie him up.
I'll keep these as a little
souvenir.
Search him well.
This guy's full of surprises.
[ Laughing ]
Is this the great hero?
[ Laughing ]
Sonny, run to the airport
for the plane.
Tell them we want to get out
of here immediately.
Get up the tower for --
for better reception.
Hurry.
>> I never trusted you,
you rotten pig.
But we both make mistakes.
>> Shut up, you fool.
I could have killed you much
earlier.
Only I want to have my fun
before I leave.
>> Leave?
>> Yes.
In 4 hours time,
I will be across the border,
safe, sound and rich and --
and a beautiful girl to keep me
company.
Bitch!
>> [ Screams ]
>> Don't ever try that again.
I could've given you everything,
Beauty.
>> Don't.
>> If only you'd listened to me.
>> No. Leave him alone.
Leave him alone!
Aah!
No!
No!
Please.
>> You don't want me?
Nobody interferes with my
business and lives.
You want him?
You can have him.
But not alive.
>> Don't.
No.
No!
>> I'll show you something
that can spit, baby.
[ Laughs ]
My little beauty.
[ Laughing ]
Egyptian spitting cobra,
the same pet that killed your
brother.
It is not alone from the
deadliness and his almost
hysterical disposition that the
present reptile have got
notoriety, but he also has
the most virulent poison
of all snakes.
The Egyptian cobra might well
be termed the most sensational,
viper -- neo-toxic.
It can strike at any moving
object, faster than the mamba,
aims accurately,
can spit accurately,
can kill a man in 5 minutes,
even the great Joe Bullet.
[ Laughing ]
[ Snake hisses ]
[ Laughing ]
So long, Mr. Bullet.
>> Joe.
Joe.
>> Don't move, Beauty.
Keep still.
Don't move.
>> Don't.
>> Use this.
I'll kill that bastard with my
bare hands.
>> Careful, Joe.
>> Now only a few minutes
to go in this cup final replay.
Oh, what a magnificent match.
No score so far.
These teams are so evenly
matched that anything could
happen.
The Falcons gather around
as Ross changes his shirt,
which got torn in that last
exchange.
And then Poko, the president
of the Eagles, take the
opportunity of having a final
word with the team.
And there's go the whistle,
and the play's on.
Still no score
in one of the toughest matches
we've seen on this ground.
The Falcons are playing
a tremendous game, but just
can't break through the Eagles'
defense.
Time and again, they are stopped
just when they are ready
to take the ball through.
Flash passes to Jerry, who boots
the ball well upfield to Ross.
Cross back to Flash, who runs
through.
Shoots, but then the ball
is stopped by goalie Brown.
He had a chance this time
for a moment, but was robbed by
Bennett.
Now the play is very red and
developing into two-man duels.
Why doesn't Baker pass?
He has lost it.
It's taken by Ross, who passes
it to Flash.
Flash runs up the wing.
What a magnificent run!
There's nobody who can get it.
He's holding it well into the
Falcons' half.
The crowd cheers and is going
mad.
He steadies himself and shoots.
It's a goal!
Goal!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Whistle blows ]
And that was the final whistle.
The Eagles have won by one goal
to nil.
And this was a magnificent match
by the Eagles in sudden death.
[ Indistinct announcing ]
And by winning this game,
the Eagles have proved to be
