Wizards (1977) - full transcript

(WOMAN NARRATING)

'The world blew up
in a thousand atomic fireballs.

'The first blast was set off
by five terrorists.

'It took two million years

'for some of the radioactive clouds
to allow some sun in.

'By then, only a handful
of humans survived.

'The rest of humanity
had changed into hideous mutants.

'These mutant species
floundered in the bad areas,

'radioactive lands that never
allowed them to become human again

'and made each birth
a new disaster.

'Then, in the good lands,



'they came back,
arising from their long sleep.

'Fairies, elves, dwarves,

'the true ancestors of man.

'They lived happily
in the good areas.

'It was a big day in Montagar.

'Delia, queen of the fairies, was
presiding over the feast of plenty,

'celebrating 3,000 years of peace.

'In the midst of the celebration,

'Delia felt a pull from the skies.

'She looked up and saw
dark clouds forming...

on the horizon in
every direction.

'She fell into a trance
and left the party,

'heading for her
home on a high hill.

'At first,
the fairies were puzzled.



'But then they too felt a force
drawing them to follow.

'Delia was alone inside.

'The storm grew
until it was a raging cyclone

'hovering over the dwelling.

'One of the older fairies
ventured inside the house.

'There lay Delia on her bed,

'holding a pair of
twins in her arms.

'The older fairy instantly knew

'that these were not ordinary twins
but magical wizards.

'The baby wizards were
polarized like magnets,

'one attracting with
a magnetic draw,

'the other repelling
and impossible to get near.

'Avatar, the kind and good wizard,

'spent much of his boyhood

'entertaining his mother
with beautiful visions.

'Blackwolf, the mutant wizard,
would never visit his mother,

'and spent his time
torturing small animals.

'More years passed,
and Delia continued to slip.

'Finally,
all life drained out of her,

'and Avatar held her hand

'trying desperately to use
his magic to restore her.

'He cradled her in
his arms and wept.

'When Blackwolf found that his
mother had died, he was excited,

'for now he felt he would take over
her leadership and rule the land.

'When Avatar confronted Blackwolf,
he was enraged.

'They began a furious battle.

'Each using his magic,

'they continued until they had
nearly destroyed each other.

'But Avatar's magic was stronger,

'because he had the emotional loss
of his mother that drove him on.

'Blackwolf was defeated.

"'The day will come, my brother,
when I will return

and make this a planet
where mutants rule.'"

'Blackwolf headed off,
leaving Avatar very disturbed.'

(BLACKWOLF) The time has come.
Kill!

(LAUGHING)

Well, hello, handsome.

(BOINGS)

Hello, honey.

(NARRATOR) 'He is called Necron 99.

'He is one of
Blackwolf's assassins.

'He travels the land
destroying the believers of magic.'

(CHAINS CLINKING)

(HORSE NEIGHING)

(MALE VOICE) "My children, the
only true technology is nature."

"All the other forms of man-made
technology are perversions."

"The ancient dictators used
technology to enslave the masses."

(GUNSHOT)

(CROWS CAWING)

(SMASHING AND SPLINTERING)

Weehawk,
can't we stay here for the night?

- No.
- Just for a few hours' rest?

- I sense something.
- But the road is clear.

We haven't seen an
assassin for days.

A clever assassin stays hidden.
Avatar must be warned.

Our mission is nearly over,
Westwind,

but now it's time
for one final run.

(BIRDS TWEETING)

Well?

They're not back
yet, my president.

(WOMAN GIGGLES)

They're really late now,
aren't they, old wizard?

Bad magic, isn't it?

And if they don't show, you'll know
no more than you did before.

How true, fairy goddess
of the New World!

But if they don't show, I think
that will tell us something too.

Damn it, Avatar!
If there's any danger,

maybe we should -
maybe we should arm our states.

- Science and technology?
- There's no time for that.

Even if we could impress our people
with the danger

science and technology were
outlawed millions of years ago.

And we must admit it's been
a peaceful world since then.

Enough, Wizard!

I demand to know what you know
or I'll banish you!

(FIERCE GROWLING)

Banish him?

But, Father, who will teach me
all the magic I've left to learn?

Only Avatar can make me
a full-fledged fairy.

As you can see,
I'm only half there.

All right. All right.

(♪ PIANO MUSIC PLAYS)

I'll tell you
if you think you can handle it.

What do you know
about war, about bombs,

that could turn a planet
molten and liquid?

To think it could start again, ten
million years after the final one.

Sometimes I get tired
of being so old.

Sometimes being a wizard
is lonely at the top.

We're waiting, old, old wizard.

You know about my brother.

Well, as the years passed,

I searched for my brother in vain.

He had settled
in the dark land of Scortch,

where people still
died of radiation.

(NARRATOR) 'For 5,000 years,
Blackwolf studied black arts,

'increasing his wisdom 10,000-fold.

'He built a small following
of frog-like creatures,

'but needed more troops
for his evil plans.

'He then formed an army
whose generals were called up

'from the black shadows of hell.

'Souls who waited for untold
eternities for a new leader.

'Blackwolf's tremendous
power enslaved...

them all to carry out his will.

'Then stories of Blackwolf's armies

'attacking neighbouring countries
came back.

'Demons of hell armed
with black magic.

'But they would get bored or...

sidetracked in the
middle of battle,

'and give up, running home.'

(SCREAMING AND SHOUTING)

(WEAPONS CLASHING)

Fritz! Fritz, get up,
for God's sake! Get up!

They've killed Fritz!
They've killed Fritz!

Those lousy, stinking,
yellow fairies!

Those horrible,
atrocity-filled vermin!

Those despicable,
animal warmongers!

They've killed Fritz!

Take that! Take this!

Take that, you green slime!

You black-hearted,
short, bow-legged...

Max!

Max, I'm okay! I'm okay, Max.
Just a scratch.

- Look, I'm all right.
- Oh. Oh, damn.

There you go again
stepping on my lines,

raining on my parade,
costing me medals.

Oh, damn!

Oh? Oh, Fritz?

Fritz, get up, for God's sake!
Get up!

They've killed Fritz!
They've killed Fritz!

Those lousy, stinking,
yellow fairies!

Those horrible,
atrocity-filled vermin!

Take this! Take that!
They killed Fritz!

(NARRATOR)
'They could easily have won,

'but they lacked
the motivation and inspiration.

'Blackwolf knew he needed more.

'He sent his huge armies out

' to excavate ancient ruins
for links to the past.

'Tales reached Avatar that bits and
pieces of pre-holocaust technology

'were being dug up
and marched back to Scortch I.

'With these ancient pieces,
he built a new war machine.

'Still, his generals needed more
to fight with.

'This drove Blackwolf mad
with frustration.

'Then one day,
that frustration vanished'

I sent my elf spies
to find out what was happening.

I'm sure he has found
some great power

that will control his armies.

You mean, you sent out
that elf envoy to investigate

based on a vague feeling of your...

(ENRAGED SCREAMS)

I've failed you, my wizard.

I've failed you, my president.

(ELINORE'S SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(THUNDERCLAPS)

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

(BEEPING STOPS)

(MACHINES CLATTERING)

What news do you bring?

(HISSING)

The lights went out!
The lights went out!

Necron 99 has destroyed himself.

It's done!

With the assassination
of the presidents...

of the free states
comes their fall

and that of my brother.

It's done.
We have four more lights left, sir.

Four more.

It's not important!

The main exterminations
are complete.

The remaining countries are now
ruled by second-rate incompetents,

so confused that even now
they blame the killings

on those within their own ranks.

It's time to strike!

Sieg heil.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(GROWLS)

(SIRENS)

Hey, hey, hey.
Come on, lard bottom.

- Get up. Blackwolf's calling'.
- I don't want to go.

Hey, when Blackwolf
calls, we go.

- I don't want to fight anymore.
- Ya gotta.

I don't want to
hurt things anymore.

Hey, you're so stupid.

(SOBS) Listen, I ain't stupid.
Just listen.

You know what I mean,
trees, birds, butterflies.

Everything's got a right to live.
You know what I mean?

Everything! Everything's
got a right to live.

- Hey, wait a minute!
- Butterflies...

Blackwolf's got a secret weapon
that makes us invincible.

We can't lose.

Left, right, left, right,
left, right, left, right...

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

It will never work.
People don't want war.

It destroyed this
planet, its people,

and all records of
past civilizations.

(CACKLES)

Not all records,
as you'll soon find out.

Attention!

Now don't be, governor.

You're too young to remember,

but Blackwolf must have lost
one million men here

last time he tried to invade.

(CHUCKLES)

And if Blackwolf's
stupid enough to...

try it again,
he'll lose twice more.

Them goblins and demons
just look mean, but they're yellow.

They got no cause to fight.

They always give up and run

Weehawk, what's that old wizard
been doing for four hours?

If he's looking for answers
from that assassin,

my father's sword can get it
quicker than brain reading.

Cool down. Cool down.

I got it, and it ain't good.

The key is a dream machine

that inspires armies
with ancient war images.

It must be destroyed.

It is in Blackwolf's castle
in the land of Scortch.

- When do we leave?
- Leave? What do you mean, leave?

You got to be kidding.

I'm too old for this sort of thing.

Just wake me up
when the planet's destroyed.

Well, I'm not too old.
I'll go myself.

(AVATAR) Very noble.

We're going!
I must avenge my father's death.

It ain't no fairyland out
there, kid.

But all right, all right.
I was just testing you.

(ELINORE) Well?

- Well, what?
- Well, what now?

Uh, I don't know.

Oh, why don't you sit there for a
couple hours while I figure it out?

Okay.

- Uh, Avatar?
- All right. All right.

How do we find this machine?

This creature, uh,
I shall call him Peace.

(GIGGLES)

Peace?

In the hopes that
he will bring it.

He's somehow wired to the machine.

And the only freedom
he'll ever have from...

its painful grip is
in its destruction.

Go now, both of you,
and prepare for the journey.

I'll reason with
him when he awakens.

Avatar, you're not that old.

She's gotta be kidding'!

Looks like my brother and I
now begin our final battle.

(NARRATOR) 'Weehawk spent a night
saying goodbye to his tribe,

'asking them to protect his family,

'and to name a new chief
if he did not return.

'Elinore said goodbye
to her father and...

then the other
fairies of her kind.

'She told them she will return
as queen of Montagar,

'her father's death revenged
and herself a full-fledged fairy.

(HORSE WHINNYING)

Well, they're here, nut.

I'll be right down, heroes.

All right, creep.

Now, before I untie you, I wanna
tell you a couple of things.

And I want you to listen
and listen carefully.

This has been the biggest bummer
of a trip I've ever been on.

If you let me down or you hurt
my friends, especially the broad,

I got stuff planned for you
that'll take 20 years to kill you.

No pain.

And you'll be screaming for mercy
in the first five seconds.

Peace wants love, wants free,
will help.

(AVATAR) Look, just get us there,
you got it?

Don't be sad, Elinore.

I'll kill that monster as soon
as he shows us that projector.

Are you kids ready?

You know, this Peace here, he
knows every step towards Scortch.

I promised him life without pain,
er... life without fear.

- I still don't trust him.
- Hey.

You're both forgetting
you have the...

protection of a
powerful wizard here.

- Damn it.
- (ELINORE GIGGLES)

He's getting older
but not much bolder.

I wonder if I packed my scotch.

Sing us a song, Elinore.

I don't want to.

But that's why we brought you.

Hey, Louie? What are we gonna do
with the prisoners?

How do I know?
They're finding' out right now.

Duh. What is this place?

Dumbo, it's religion.
Ain't you heard?

Religion?

Yeah. Blackwolf says
the responsibilities of...

the prisoners is up
to the priests inside.

Now, what we got to
do, Dumbo, is...

reconnoitre the
priests and find out.

- (DUMBO) Er, what is all this?
- Bits and pieces of religion, man.

What's the matter with you?

Holy objects they saved
for millions of years, man.

- What are we looking for?
- Hey, so dumb.

We're looking for the priests, man,
the priests.

Why?

I don't know.

I guess cos you need God
on your side, stupid.

(DUMBO) Who's that?

- That's them. Them. Them.
- Who's that?

Uh, listen, you guys. We hates
to interrupt you, you know.

We're sorry.

Yeah.
But, uh, you see, Blackwolf...

- You know, our Führer.
- It wasn't our fault.

Uh, shut up, will you?

Blackwolf, the Führer,
started this war, see?

We got all these prisoners
we don't want to feed.

(DUMBO) We ain't got time for
that. We just got time for war.

So, we were, uh,
I want to ask you guys...

He's asking you, not me.

Yeah,
I'm asking if you want to take...

care of 'em, it's okay with us.

- (DUMBO) Me too.
- Yeah, see?

- Yeah. Okay, Dumbo.
- Okay.

My sons,
you say you are the victors.

Uh-huh.

But there is only one victor.
That's Him.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Patience.

- We must observe sundown and pray.
- He's got a point.

Hear us, O Lord.
Hear our petition.

(MUMBLING)

O Lord, we cry out to you.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Hear the prayers of
thy humble servants.

O Lord, God, Lord, God!

Do not fail us in our hour of need!

We need you, O Lord.
We cry to you, O Lord.

Lord, help us. Help us, O Lord.

We need you. We cry to you.

Hey, enough already.

O Lord, God, Lord, God.

Time's up.

Okay, Charlie. It's no good.

- Put plan "A" to work.
- It's about time.

(MACHINE GUN FIRE)

Okay, babe. They ain't gonna talk.

- Gimme plan "B".
- Hey, what's plan "B"?

Hey, hey, hey. Watch.

Will the birth be soon?

Very soon, my Lord.

You're young to be queen,
but deliver me a son,

and you shall help
me rule this planet.

I don't want to rule this
planet, my Lord.

- Just our kingdom is enough.
- Enough?

Enough for mutants
to stay in their place, huh?

Live with radiation
so our bodies crawl with hell?

We will live in the good lands.

My son will grow where
there isn't death in the...

very waters we drink
and the air we breathe.

Wise men.

Will my son be human or mutant?

Mutant, the charts say, my Lord.

The next one won't be.

Do not have it killed, oh, Lord!

It is not his fault!

(SQUAWKING)

(WEEHAWK) Wait a minute, Avatar.

Peace is taking us towards
the mountain fairies' domain.

We should go around.

Avatar, why is Peace stopping?

Fairy bad. Not good. Go around.

Coming from Mr Nice Guy here,

those fairies must
be something else.

Go on, nut. We'd lose time.

(PEACE) Bad fairies.

(WEEHAWK) Elves and fairies
are bad-blood cousins.

I'm not in the mood
for their pranks.

They may have
useful information.

Don't worry. Time has passed.

Much of the rivalry
between fairy and elf has subsided.

(FAIRIES GIGGLING)

Barbarians.

Gee, they're adorable.

Oh. Hey! (LAUGHS)

Stop this childish display.

Why, even at elves' houses,
I've seen more sophisticated magic.

All right. All right.
You've had it.

This is Avatar the Great
you're fooling with.

Avatar, consul and wizard of
your great-grandfathers' consuls,

who was turned into Avatar the Old.

Yeah, that's me,
Avatar the Old now,

but I still got my powers.

And you've cost me my patience.
I call upon all forces of darkness!

Oh, winds of abysses
howling through the stars

and eons of centuries.

O Lords of the Whirlwind, black,
Grey and white, I call upon you!

Oh, ever-increasing darkness,

shapeless and mindless beings,

corroded and rotten
in your hearts, body and mind,

I summon you
from your ancient, timeless travels

to ride the winds of blackness.
And cabash!

(WIND DIES)

Please accept our apologies
for the behaviour

of some of our more
carefree brothers.

I'm Sean,
leader of the Knights of Stardust,

protectors of Dolan,
king of the mountain fairies.

We have prepared a feast to
welcome you to our humble domain.

Listen here,
you little winged squirt.

- Do you realize...?
- Oh, Avatar, stop being so grumpy.

Oh! Hey, oh...!

All right. Okay. Okay.

I'm Avatar the Great,
as you've heard.

Now, this here is Elinore,
Queen of Montagar.

What brings you here?

(AVATAR) We're on a quest
to the land of Scortch.

(SEAN) You're heading for Scortch?
You're in for trouble.

(AVATAR) Will you
tell us what you know?

Steady, Westwind.

We'll eat alone,
lest we sit with fools.

Meecher, where's Peace?

- Arise, you fools!
- Hey, what's that?

Assassin! Technology!

(SCREAMING)

By the soul of Dulac and Rackham!

- Elinore is gone!
- It was Peace!

I knew we should've killed him
when we had the chance!

Never mind. We must find Elinore.

The fairies have taken
her into the mountain.

Hey, there's no time to waste.

No one's ever been
to the fairy sanctuary before.

- It's forbidden to all.
- Drums.

It begins.
Quickly now, or all is lost.

(WEEHAWK) You must save Elinore.
Hurry, old fool.

Morro crinkle frizetta.

Enough magic, old man. Run!

Very bad. Not good. Not good.

(FAIRY) Destroy her!
She's party to death!

Sean is dead! Killed by
lies and human technology.

Will it be brother against brother
here too?

Only humans kill their own kind.

She allowed technology and death
into the Golden Circle.

- She is a traitor.
- Traitor? You fools, release me.

Stay back!

As the king's guards,
we can't allow...

you near until
the king has ruled.

(GIGGLES)

No one rules
over Elinore of Montagar.

(FAIRY) We rule! We rule
over death, lies and deceit.

We rule.

She's emoting. I feel her pain.

It hurts! It hurts!

Wow!

Avatar never told me
I had full fairy powers.

Ha! He said I wasn't ready yet.

I told you, she's dangerous.

Destroy her while
there's still time.

I say destroy her,
king's rule or not.

Now why'd you want to
go and do that for, love?

It's hard enough
controlling them as it is.

Release me, or I, Elinore,
shall show all you ants something.

(ROARING)

- Stop him, Miss. Stop him!
- Oh, did I do that?

Stop! I command you to cease.

Okay. Leave everyone alone.

I say, Miss,
you better stop him.

I think it'd be better if you
released me and we all ran away.

(GROWLING)

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Holy chrome.

Elinore's really gone and done it.

It's all a disaster.

Well, old man,
what are you going to do about it?

You better hurry up, Miss.

Avatar the Great... coming!

Avatar!

Yeah.
You can kill me now, I'm sure.

I've given myself to you.

- I make no attempt to save myself.
- Save yourself?

Save yourself? Save me!

I can't, Elinore.

The only one who could
might be the king here.

My mission, O Lord, is to save
the world from another holocaust.

Sean was killed not by us,
but by my brother's assassins,

who have been sent
to kill Weehawk, Elinore,

Peace and myself
before we reach Scortch.

For all I know and fear,
Weehawk is dead.

So might be Peace.

I ask for permission to take
the girl and myself to try to...

complete our mission alone
though it does seem doomed now.

I will not allow you to hurt
Elinore without a fight by myself.

My brother lies, my good King!

Avatar! Avatar!

What will it be, King?

Time's getting short.

Avatar,
could you hurry up a little bit?

We have been sent death,
images and humans

each with a different story.

Something happening here.
Not you, please. Oh, no.

I have always been very good and
could even be better sometimes.

It starts again, the only act
that has been real so far

is the fact that Avatar
did not break his word.

When the arrow struck him,
he did not fight back.

And from what we all heard
about Avatar's power,

that is surely the sign of truth.

We will neither join nor hinder
nor help these two.

We will wait and see.

That is our decision.

(BELLOWS)

Well, we're out of there.

Ouch!

Thanks. I forgot about that.

- Let me help you.
- No, no, no, no. Let me help you.

How's that?

It's very pretty, Avatar.

Yeah, well, it could be warmer.

We might as well begin.

This is the way, I think.

Scortch lies somewhere
over these mountains.

(AVATAR) Well, good morning.
Cosy morning, huh?

Avatar, we're trapped.

It's nothing a little
hard work won't cure.

Here. Follow me, Snow Queen.

(ELINORE) I'm so cold, so cold.

Is it much farther?

Elinore, we've rested long enough.
We'd better move on.

Just a little while longer, Avatar.
I'm so tired.

Well, okay.

I'll go over and see if I can see
a pass or a path...

or a house or something.

Oh, my God.

They're our own tracks.

We've been moving in circles.

I better not tell Elinore.
It'll do her no good.

Avatar, riders!

Run! Assassins come
to finish the job!

We'll cut their throats.
Let them come.

Right.
I'll zap them back to Scortch.

(HORSES NEIGHING)

They split up.
Going to come at us from each end.

Avatar, we really
tried, didn't we?

Yes, Elinore.

That's all anyone really
could've done.

Steady. Here they come.

Braxis plaxis traxis!

Montagar forever.

(HORSES APPROACHING)

Death, assassins!

Peace! Peace, we found them!
We found them!

What took you so long?

Quickly, Peace. Quickly.

Let's get them off this glacier.

The quest is saved.

(NARRATOR) 'The night was spent
in the protection of a cave.

'Elinore and Weehawk slept
as Avatar counselled with Peace

'on the quickest route to Scortch.

'The journey took them past the
ruins of ancient civilizations.

'Strange beasts lurked about,

'but the dangerous mutants
that lived there were gone,

'gone to Blackwolf's army.

'All they left were their wives,
hurling insults and rocks

'as the party passed through.

'Then finally, the desert.'

(CLICK)

Yeah, I feel it, too.

(ELINORE SCREAMS)

Please do not attempt
to draw your gun.

(WEAPONS COCKING)

Avatar, you old fool!

You've come! Ha-ha!

Our father's returned! Ha-ha!

Avatar, fighter!

Avatar, father, mother,
freedom, love, life!

We've been camping in the desert
away from prying eyes.

Where did you get the
guns, Abdul?

Guns?

Well, we got them
from old Blackwolf himself.

- You mean you joined with...?
- Ha-ha! No, no.

We ambushed a wolf patrol,
took everything except their women,

and two days from now,
we attack Scortch I.

What do you mean, attack?

The remaining elves of the free
world have joined under my banner.

That banner will be
carried to Scortch I.

Join us, old wizard.
We desperately need you.

(ANGRY MUTTERING)

(COCKS WEAPON)

Is this how you're repaying' me?

Stand back.
Avatar will not be touched.

When our world was young,
so was mighty Avatar.

Misty moons ago, he strode
this planet like a messiah,

curing radiation sickness
from man and bird,

cleaning the planet of its filth.

It was Avatar
who fought alongside my father

against the first mutant attack.

So now we have
our messiah back again.

He's going to destroy
his brother for us.

With what?

A woman-child...

one elf...

and a moron robot.

Oh, Avatar.

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

- What is it?
- It's Blackwolf.

He's trying to gain control.

Back! Back!

Back to hell!

You can't have him!

You did it. You beat the demon.

- What's happened?
- Erm...

Well, I suddenly felt very
sorry for Peace, so I went...

over to him and took his hand
and I tried to comfort him.

Peace is in constant mental battle
with Blackwolf.

Your kind words took his mind
off the battle.

It allowed Blackwolf his chance.

Avatar. What's that?

Trapped.

(SQUAWKING)

- Jump, Peace!
- Jump, Peace!

(AVATAR) Elinore!

Elinore!

Ah, I don't know.
I just don't know.

I don't know what
happened to Elinore.

Betrayal of Elinore to the quest
has broken his heart.

There is nothing wrong with him.

Tomorrow morning,
the attack begins.

Avatar, we have to go now.

The cliffs of
Scortch can be seen.

We have to go now to
complete our mission.

Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- How?
- We have to swim in.

Oh. Okay.

(AVATAR) What's happened
to the world? I don't know.

I can remember back...

All the fairies were so good...

We're here. Scortch. Chrome!

Come. We'll walk right up the road
and no one will expect it.

- We'll act like slaves.
- Yeah.

The castle. I see it.
It's quite a distance.

I had one where the whole country
would disappear for a day.

Oh... Ha!

That was, uh...

That was really, er...
I just don't know.

Over there. That must be
the entrance to the lower cities.

Guards might be about. Come on.

Hmm. How ugly.

How ugly. Kapow!

Boom!

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN
OVER LOUDSPEAKER)

I just don't know.

Maybe... maybe I should make
a deal with them.

(SINGING IN GERMAN)

Chrome. Which way? I don't know.

You know,
I should've stayed with them.

- They love magic.
- Shh!

- Avatar, just stay quiet.
- Oh.

Psst. Hey, General.

Want to buy an elf hat? Elf beard?

Souvenirs for sale.
Precious souvenirs for sale.

- Get them while they're still hot.
- No more wars, you fools! Love!

Scortch can be beautiful too.

Look, look.
Real, beautiful presents.

Ha-ha! Now, that...
that is a wonderful trick.

- Wonderful.
- It's Avatar. Oh, General.

It's him. It's bad.
It's come to hurt the Führer.

Kill it. Oh, master, kill it.

Ha-ha! That's impossible.

That dirty old man
is Avatar the Great?

Ha-ha!

If that is so
then I am a warthog's uncle!

Funny you should say that.

(SCREAMS)

Kiyah!

Ki-yah!

Oooowah!

(SCREAMS)

The enemy is dead.
Oh, master, the enemy is dead.

My God! What have I done?

Master loves Larry.
Master feeds Larry.

What are elves good for?

Avatar, good luck!

The beast has shown us the way
to the castle.

I'm sorry, Weehawk.

I'm just an old fool.

You know...

the world owes you much, kid,

even if we don't take another step.

(HITLER SPEAKING OVER LOUDSPEAKER)

(MARCHING FOOTSTEPS)

(BUGLE CALL)

(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)

(THUNDERCLAPS)

(SNARLING AND GROWLING)

(WAR CRIES)

God! Avatar, get down.

I've seen him. You can't beat him.
He's too strong.

Avatar, don't do it.

You may be right,

but I gotta battle my brother.

You find an entrance
into the castle.

Smash the projector.

And tell Elinore that
Avatar will die with her tonight...

even if we win.

Hello!

(WHISTLES)

You have aged, old fool.
The world is mine.

(SOBBING)

- Weehawk!
- Slut!

Weehawk, don't! Weehawk, don't!
Don't! Don't!

Stop, elf!

Blood on blood flowing, fathers
and sons dying, brothers and...

lovers spilling false hate and
rivers of life flowing away.

Fool elf! Think your sword is
always quick, but what else?

Think!

Weehawk, I could not help it.

When I touched Peace in the desert,

Blackwolf trapped my mind.

I'm not as strong as Peace.
It hurts.

(SOBBING)

Avatar must know.

The trouble with
you, my brother, is...

that you've always
been too good.

Well, that may be.

But I still think I look
more like Ma than you do.

You know, uh, lots of character.
I'm aging' better.

Brother, there is no need
for me to destroy you.

Surrender. Surrender your world.

You always did need
an audience, you sap.

Let me tell ya, I ain't practised
much magic for a long time.

I wanna show you a trick Mother
showed me when you weren't around,

to use on special
occasions like this.

Ah. Oh, yeah, one more thing...

I'm glad you changed your
last name, you son of a bitch.

(GROANING)

Avatar! Elinore's no traitor!

She was possessed by Blackwolf.

(WEEHAWK) It is done! It is done!

The world is free!

(NARRATOR) 'The projector
destroyed, the battle was over.

'Shadow creatures
froze in their tracks.

'Some faded...

'some crawled back to hell.

'Mutants, leaderless, ran.

'Elves swept the beaches clear

'of the few remaining mutants
that still fought...

(CROWS CAWING)

'as hundreds of
circling black birds...

screamed at the carnage below.

'There was some rejoicing.

'But mostly, everyone wished
to return home quickly

'to tell their loved ones
that the war was won,

'Hitler was dead again,

'and that they could live
once more in peace

'in the land they loved so much.

'God-given. Amen.'

Avatar! Look what I caught!

Don't hurt Larry. Larry served.

Beast of a thousand scales!

Hey, hey, hey. Set it free.

It's harmless without Blackwolf.

Pity it. It's not its fault.

Mmm. So be it.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, master.

We ride back to Montagar.

Weehawk, you ride back
to Montagar alone.

Avatar and I will start
a new kingdom somewhere.

You will rule Montagar
as their new king.

Are you and Avatar married,
my Queen?

Hey, kid, take it easy, huh?

You did a good job,
but don't get carried away.

You think Avatar's too old
to get married?

Weehawk, how many years do
wizards live, 10,000 or more?

And I got at least a thousand
left, you know what I mean?

Forgive me, Avatar.
Forgive me, both of you.

For Montagar, forever.

(NEIGHING)

Well, come on. Let's make it.

Avatar... (GIGGLES)

You're getting older
and much bolder.

Come on!
I meant let's make it out of here.

Sure you did.
