Karate Wars (1991) - full transcript

"Karate Wars" is an all or nothing tournament where the prize is honor, self respect and a million dollars. Karate master Oyama, trains his loyal students in the ancient, mystical arts of Kung Fu fighting. His top student Jason is faced with the challenge of fighting his hated rival in a fight to the finish. Oyama's students train vigorously in the secret Chinese styles of the snake and crane. When the "Karate Wars" tournament gets cancelled, another war begins on the streets, where there is no ring... no rules... and no million dollars.

What matter is what we know so you guys think you would have

won? We think we would have.

Were the defending Champions three years in a row?

No way you schoolboys could have come close you want to bet

so I'm willing to wager that we would have won the karate

Wars Championship.

Actual knowledge of knowing who would have won and how do

you propose to do this Agreements are made.

It's what you're willing to show up.

No TV cameras.

No nothing.

Glory o prophet without What time?

And at seven your tunic a talk radio, welcome back.

Well, it's that time of the year again.

This city would have geared up for me and riding Wars Turn.

Yes, that event is a complete ball out of your Legend and

all the fighting Wars are currently under investigation.

I'm sure it's a lot of disappointed people out there because

this event would have gone now.

And with the million-dollar purse it's a shame because the

tournament is a yearly event is to look forward to with the

regional event last year boys hostel beat up 11 of the teams

from around the state.

This year's event attracted 2623 wide.

Let's just speculate a little further.

Do you think those warriors with then again copied you?

canceled the other tournaments over but the fights still

oh, A challenge to challenge them.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, I challenged the warriors were fighting tonight alone.

How could you do this?

You can't go and make a decision that affects the both of

us all by yourself the both of us.

Look.

I'm the one that's fighting.

Not you missing.

That's where you're wrong because every time you fought I

fought right along with you.

I'm In The Wind by your side every time you walked and talked

and dreamed about all of this.

So don't tell me that you're fighting alone.

You know Jason maybe now I fighting I'm fighting to keep

us together.

All right, just why tell me why there is no tournament there

is nothing for you to prove.

I can't be happy with you.

I won't be satisfied with myself.

I lied to everybody.

I didn't lie to you into believing that I was somebody that

I wasn't.

I was never my personal best, okay?

Winner lose at least now know the truth.

Get it through your head.

This is not a tournament.

It is completely unregulated.

There's no rules.

There's no referees.

Nothing can keep them from cheating of him saying when enough's

enough Why why does man have to prove to himself?

He's a man?

Why can't he just just believe and accept himself for what

he is.

Chase can you please try to understand?

No, try to understand?

Every time I start something I never finish it everything

I've done in my past life.

It doesn't amount to anything everything everything I start

I quit and I don't want to be a quitter.

I don't do this is just gonna come back and haunt me.

This is my last chance.

That's what I was doing.

Look, nothing's going to go wrong in the best shape ever

in my life.

Really think you're ready.

That could have been the one.

Okay, then I'll just die.

You know, it doesn't have to be this way.
