Thundercats Ho! The Movie (1987) - full transcript
Lion-O is haunted by the recurring nightmares of Thunderians being killed on Thundera while he fled to the safety of Third Earth with Jaga and the other ThunderCats. Jaga later tells Lion-O that 3 more Thundercats have, in fact, survived and are also living on Third Earth. The ThunderCats decide to search for the 3 new Thunderians, but Mumm-Ra has plans as well and takes the new Thunderians as his prisoners to Fire Rock Mountain. Lion-O loses the Sword of Omens in an avalanche while Panthro battles the Fist-Pounder with the ThunderTank as the ThunderCats close in on rescuing the Thunderians from Fire Rock Mountain, but they'll need supernatural help if they are to pass through the Thundranium gasses to reach them.
NARRATOR:
In the last episode of Thundercats,
Mumm-Ra conjured up
the samurai warrior Hachiman,
and tricked him into a fight with Lion-0.
Meanwhile, Lion-O had grown weak,
trying to cross the Thundranium Pits
to save his Thunderian friends
when Hachiman stepped into his path.
No. I-- I can't fight you.
I must obey.
[GRUNTING]
HACHIMAN:
No!
Take hold of the bridge, Lion-O san.
I can't, Hachiman. Slipping.
No, I will help you.
You, Lord Lion-0?
You were so frightened,
you could not move?
I cannot believe this.
Down there are Fire Rocks, Hachiman.
What we call Thundranium.
It weakens Thundercats,
takes our strength.
And knowing that,
you came on the bridge to save me?
Because you are my friend.
Mumm-Ra has lied!
My samurai ancestor would
never demand that I destroy a friend.
The code of Bushido forbids it.
I am a fool.
You couldn't have known, Hachiman.
Mumm-Ra's evil has no limit.
I am shamed, Lion-O san.
Allow me to help you.
I ask humbly.
I can make it now, Hachiman.
Thank you.
If this bad place means doom
for Thundercats...
...why do you come here?
The mutants have prisoners here
in their stronghold.
Mumm-Ra's orders. We must free them.
They are friends of the Thundercats,
these prisoners?
Yes. Countrymen.
The Fire Rocks hold no terror
for Hachiman.
I will rescue these prisoners for you.
No, you can't do it alone, Hachiman.
HACHIMAN:
While a warrior still has his sword...
...he is never alone.
[MUMM-RA YELLING]
Hachiman saw through my trick.
Even so, the Thundercats
haven't a chance.
Still...
Captain Shiner.
Yes, Mumm-Ra? What now?
The Thundercats are converging
upon Fire Rock Mountain.
Seek and destroy them.
I tire of this game, Mumm-Ra.
The price will be high.
Name your price and it is yours.
Very well, Mumm-Ra.
Switch on the space scanners.
Fire Rock Mountain ahead, Tygra.
Almost there.
Yes. Cheetara, 10 o'clock high!
Captain Shiner, Thundercat ships.
Tiny little things. Oh, well.
Attack.
CHEETARA:
The Vertus, Captain Shiner's ship.
TYGRA:
And he's seen us.
Look, Tygra, an air lock.
With the Thunderclaw's capabilities
maybe I can board the Vertus.
Go for it, Cheetara.
I'll try to find some other way in.
I've lost them, captain.
Where'd they go?
Maintain the search.
They can't escape the space scanners.
Hey, a Thundercat.
And now you're weaponless.
But not friendless. Just in time, Tygra.
Grab that one, Cheetara.
You'll never get off this ship alive,
Thundercats.
We got in, we'll get out. Same odds.
Well, they've obviously gone.
Yes, they must be a hundred miles
from here by now.
We can relax.
TYGRA:
Think again, Shiner.
Ah! Thundercats. How--?
I wouldn't if I were you.
TYGRA: Set it for straight up, Cheetara.
Full throttle.
Full throttle?
But-- But we'll be light-years away,
in deep space, in seconds.
TYGRA: Sorry we can't join you, Shiner.
SHINER: No.
You can't do this.
CHEETARA:
Ten seconds to blastoff, Tygra.
TYGRA:
Let's move.
We won't be seeing Captain Shiner
for a while.
But he's cost us time. Hurry.
There's the ship, captain. The ship!
Yeah. Arr!
And we blasted near had to cross
the ocean to catch up to it.
SNARF: Snarf. The Berserkers got
their ship back.
TURMAGAR:
I'm sorry, friend Snarf...
...but this Gomplin couldn't pull it
any further.
Oh, gosh. You know, we've asked
too much of the poor fellow already.
But now Hammerhand will be
heading back to Fire Rock Mountain...
...to recapture our friends,
the Thunderians.
The Gomplin is willing
to try to stop them.
That's awfully brave of him, Turmagar,
but--
Attack, Gomplin!
WILYKAT:
Look, Wilykit! Turmagar!
And that's Snarf with him.
They look like they're getting ready
to attack Hammerhand's ship.
On the Gomplin? Oh, wow, Wilykat.
Hammerhand, it's back, it's back!
That thing that towed
our ship out to sea.
It's back! Back!
Yarr! Blast it out of the sky.
Now, now!
[GOMPLIN SCREAMS]
The Gomplin! He's been hit, Turmagar.
[GOMPLIN SCREAMS]
The Gomplin! He's been hit, Turmagar.
No, I-- I think he's just singed, but--
WILYKAT:
Snarf! Turmagar!
-Get out of the line of fire!
WILYKIT: We'll take over!
Snarf. Just in time.
Now you can get back home
and take care of the Gomplin, Turmagar.
But how will you get
to Fire Rock Mountain, friend Snarf?
Just drop me on shore.
I'll find my way there.
Can't see through this.... This--
[SNEEZES]
Can't stop itching. Itching.
Keep firing.
We can't match
their firepower, Wilykat.
No, but maybe if we use
all of our firepower at once.
Put all your pellets
in your pouch, Wilykit.
They're coming back.
Arr! Keep firing.
Wilykat!
WILYKAT: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
WILYKIT: Whoa!
[MONKIAN GIBBERING]
I'm waiting for you, Panthro.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
PANTHRO:
Looks like I'm expected.
Well, no other way to go
but straight ahead.
MONKIAN:
There's the ThunderTank.
But where's Panthro?
Hey!
Hope that's the last I see of that rig.
Thundercats, here comes Panthro. Ho!
Arr! They're getting away.
Berserkers, fire.
Fire.
Wait, what--? What's that?
It's coming right at us.
Rocket power.
Full astern.
BOTH:
Thundercats, here we come! Ho!
All present, Lion-O.
[CACKLING]
[YELLS]
Mumm-Ra. Defend yourself, evil one.
You have betrayed me.
LION-O: Hachiman.
What has Mumm-Ra done to him?
JAGA: Hachiman is safe, Lion-O.
-Jaga!
He is back in his own time,
in his own dimension.
I'm glad to hear that, but we've failed.
There's nothing more we can do.
JAGA:
There is something, Lion-0.
The Star of Thundera.
It can render the Thundranium
harmless to you.
Then I must have it.
How can I get it, Jaga?
I will try, Lion-O. I will try....
The Star of Thundera.
The greatest power in the universe.
If the Thundercats use it against me,
I'm done.
No one can stop Jaga...
...except another of his kind.
Possibly Jaga's ancient enemy...
...Grune the Destroyer.
The Star of Thundera.
-Grune.
-Yes, Jaga, old friend.
Stand aside. I have no time for you.
But there's always time
to settle old scores, Jaga.
You have only to get past me
to reach the Star.
A fight, Jaga. A fair fight.
What do you say?
The Black Planet!
Yes, Jaga.
You're caught in its gravitational force...
...being drawn into its hideous
black center...
...from which nothing can escape.
Not even mighty Jaga!
No!
[GRUNE SCREAMING]
I'm being drawn back...
...by the Star of Thundera.
Star of Thundera...
...since you saved me, you must know
of the Thundercats' mission.
Will you grant us the use of your power
so that the mission can be completed?
Good.
LION-O:
The Star gave us its power?
Not "gave," Lion-O.
Power is never a gift,
but a responsibility.
Yes, Jaga.
Wear this Talisman
and the Thundranium will not harm you.
Go, bring back our countrymen.
Good luck, friend.
Wait, the way out is that way.
There? But that's where
the Thundranium is, Lynx-O.
Even so, Bengali, we must go that way
if we are to save ourselves.
Lynx-O has been right so far.
Let's hope this gives him
a perfect score, Pumyra.
The Thunderians.
Throw them into the Fire Rock pit.
Look! The Thundercat.
Thunderians, ho!
Well, sure doesn't seem like
you needed any help.
Quickly, join hands.
If you maintain contact with me,
the Thundranium can't harm you.
He has the power of
the Star of Thundera around his neck.
It must not be.
Ancient spirits of evil...
...transform this decayed form...
...to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living!
WILYKAT: Okay. Come on.
WILYKIT: We'll help you.
TYGRA: You made it.
-Look out. Mumm-Ra!
-He got the Talisman.
MUMM-RA: The Star of Thundera!
The greatest power in the universe...
...is mine, mine alone!
[CACKLING]
No, Mumm-Ra.
You mustn't open the talisman!
MUMM-RA: You tell me
what I must and must not do?
Mumm-Ra,
who now rules the universe?
I don't see Mumm-Ra, Jaga.
Has the Star of Thundera
destroyed him?
Perhaps, as all who seek such power
are ultimately destroyed.
It belongs to the universe alone.
-It's over, then?
-Not quite.
There's still Ratar-O to deal with
for what he did to the ThunderTank.
No need for that, Panthro.
Ratar-O's ship has been disabled.
Congratulations, Snarf!
-You're a true Thundercat after all.
SNARF: Snarf.
Come, friends,
let's get back to the Lair.
We've got some celebrating to do.
Thundercats.
ALL:
Ho!
Lynx-O, Pumyra, Bengali,
make yourselves at home.
-Cats' Lair.
-Just as it was on Thundera.
-We haven't thanked you.
-Especially you...
...and you haven't even told us
your name.
You are standing before Lion-O,
Lord of the Thundercats.
-How did you know, Lynx-O?
-I hear your father's voice in yours.
I could not mistake it.
-You knew my father?
-Everyone knew him.
You must tell me about him. I was
just a child when we lost Thundera.
I will tell you gladly,
when we visit here.
Visit? But you'll be living here,
all of you.
-In Cats' Lair?
-On Thundera...
...the lair was only for Thundercats.
Well, you've handled yourselves
like Thundercats...
...and once I've anointed you,
you'll be true Thundercats.
What say all of you?
CHEETARA: Of course.
TYGRA: Thundercats one and all.
WILYKAT & WILYKIT:
Yo!
Welcome to Third Earth.
Thundercat Lynx-O.
Thundercat Pumyra.
Thundercat Bengali.
Brother.
Thunder, thunder, thunder.
ALL:
Thundercats, ho!
