"Am I seeing things or is this a couple of soldier boys we got round here?" "Rangers, my son." "Rangers." "Rangers, huh?" "Yeah." "What the hell those bums doing round here?" "Sir..." "Sergeant Curtis Jackson, Sergeant Joe Armstrong, sir." "Front and centre!" "So..." "You two are rangers, huh?" "Don't Washington know marines guard embassies, not rangers?" "As if my Iife wasn't complicated enough already." " Do you know why you're here?" " We were told you would brief us." "Yeah." "There are 20 marines stationed on the island as embassy guards." "We dress as little like marines as possible." "Left-wing elements stir up trouble against us." "Four of my men have disappeared, two on a fishing trip, two in town." "A marine said one minute he was talking to them, the next they were gone." "Sounds crazy, but there's a kid that hangs round the barracks who said he saw two giants dressed in strange black suits taking the men away in a motor launch." "We thought they'd been kidnapped, but there's been no ransom demands and no bodies." "It's a goddamn mystery." "So I made my report to Washington asking for help and they sent you."

"This is the most ridiculous story I've heard in my Iife." "My other four men were abducted by these same ninja?" " Yes, sir." " But why?" " Are they working for the Russians?" " We don't know." "Shit." "I guess I'II have to alert the ambassador." "If you give us a few more days, we can come up with something." " Can you?" " We do have a lead, sir." "OK." "You got one week, but I don't like it." "They were there on the beach, I'm telling you, Sarge." "Ninjas my ass!" "You guys were over at Mangrove island taking care of the local talent, right?"

" He told me." " His wife was taken to BIackbeard island." "He was probably afraid she'd be killed." "Rubbish." "BIackbeard island is owned by Professor Sanborn." "Why should he blackmail a nobody like taylor?" "It's a good question." "Why don't we go take a look?" "impossible." "Professor Sanborn is a man of impeccable character." "I would require a warrant from the governor to search the place, and he would be outraged at such a suggestion." " would he?" " He certainly would, Captain." "please remember you people are guests here." "You can't go about trespassing on other people's property."

"These slime buckets have dug themselves in this thing together." "I think the girl's the key." "You better fly." "Find that girl quick before Singh grabs your ass." "Why don't we just take a recon to BIackbeard island, sir?" "Good idea." "I'II alert the ambassador and see what we can do." " Yes, sir." " Know where to find this girl?" "No, but I got a pretty good idea who does." "Good." "And good hunting." "(Toto) Excuse me." "Just come." "It's over there." "Right here." "See?" "She lives there." " Thank you, Toto." " That'II be three bucks." " What do you want?" " I wanna talk to you." "OK, come on in." "(gristly crunch)" "(he screams)" "(whistles)" "(speaks in Japanese)" " Thank you, Toto." " Don't mention it." "Three bucks." " Who is he?" " My friend Toto." "I'm Joe Armstrong." "I'm alicia Sanborn." "What do you want from me?" "I need to get to BIackbeard island." "well, then, turn round." "You're going the wrong way." "Make for Point Piper." "A friend of mine's got a boat there." "Hey, Joe." "(Alicia) Look out!" "You son of a bitch!" "Joe!" "(Armstrong) Jump!" "Go, Toto." "Jump!" "(screams)" "It's not that far from here." "We can walk." "Come." "I need you to do me a favour." "This is very important." "tell Sergeant Jackson that we're going to BIackbeard island." " Five bucks." " I'II pay you later." "Come on." "Let's go." "It should be here." "There it is." "We can use this one." "The island's about 20 miles from here." " Let's go." " Wait." "We can't go now." "They've got patrols." "We'II have to wait until it's dark." "He's escaped, Leo." "The man's inhuman." "We gotta get back to the island." "We got some business to finish." "Now, look, I want you to call that American ambassador, and you tell him to get some Ieashes on his men, or he's gonna find himself in the middle of world War III." "(Armstrong) So what about the Lion?" "One of the most powerful drug dealers in the world." " Everybody knows it." " And your father?" "My mother died of cancer, and my father's a scientist." "After she died, he clung to this dream." "He was going to find a cure for cancer." "He sold everything, bought the island and set up a research laboratory." "He worked hard." "The British and American governments invested money." "Everything was going so well." "Dad was on the verge of a big breakthrough and..." "well, they simply withdrew." "Dad was devastated." "I was away at school at that time." "When Dad called me..." "Anyway, then the Lion turned up and he offered Dad money, lots, enough to finish his project." "Dad jumped at the chance, didn't ask questions." "He was so close to finding his cure." "The Lion had other ideas, and instead of finding his cure for cancer," "Dad ended up producing these attacking monsters, these ninjas." "Producing?" "Something to do with biological engineering." "Reorganising a person's genetic code." "They used those marines for their experiments." "And you?" "Where do you fit into all this?" "Bait." "As long as they've got me, they can blackmail my father." "If they harm me, he'II stop working for them." "They won't let me near him, though, in case I try to influence him." "I guess we'd better see what we can do about it, huh?" "Come on, Iet's go." "The ambassador won't give us permission to go in until he hears from Washington." "That'II take another year." "What are we going to do?" "apparently, the governor won't let us visit the island." "(Wild Bill) We got a tricky political situation." "We got political red tape, Captain." "You heard Toto." "Joe and alicia are stuck in that island." "They'II have to improvise till we get the go-ahead." "I'm sorry, but that's not good enough." "Years ago, we started out on the streets," "Iow-down and dirty." "We soon realised to have it all, to really nail it down, we had to control the source." "So we moved out into the jungles." "We took over the plantations and factories, until we built the biggest drug empire the world has ever known." "But success brings jealousy, and we laid out millions with pay-offs, but the greed only grew." "So you came to me and you asked me to find a foolproof way to protect ourselves and our investment." "So, with the help of Professor Sanborn here," "I think I've achieved that objective." "So there you are, the super ninja, the ultimate fighting machine." "Strong, obedient, heartless, and as many of them as we want." "Enjoy yourselves now, and let's see what they can do." "It's this way." "Come on." "This is it." "Where do they make these things?" "At the far end of the complex." "It's on the third floor." "(whispers) Wait here." "(Ninja) Ssh." "What's the matter?" "How d'you make them, Leo?" "What are they?" "miracles of genetic engineering." "Professor Sanborn will show us how it's done." "Right, Professor?" "If we wait for the ambassador, it's gonna be too late." " Watch your mouth." " chill out, motor mouth." "This unit's lost five marines." "Do you wanna lose Joe and the girl?" "No, I thought not." "I'm boogieing, baby." "Anyone coming with me?" "(Alicia) This is it." "(gasps) It's my father." "He looks sick." "gentlemen, this is it." "Professor, we're all ears." "These flasks contain frozen cells in a solution of amino acids." "What are those men doing?" "Microinjecting DNA hereditary information into a single cell." "By this method, we can control the building blocks of Iife." "We can make the human being anything we want it to be." "He keeps most of what's left of his human intelligence, but his knowledge of attack and survival" "He will be cunning, intelligent and devious, Iike a predatory tiger." "He will feel no pain and know no emotion but hate." "His muscles and sinews will be replaced with the strongest, lightest, high-tensiIe steel known to man." "He will run faster than the finest olympic athlete, be stronger than a ten-ton crane." "And in this next generation, you will witness the most lethal assassin the world has ever known." "And the best part, he will follow my every order to the letter." "Right, Professor?" "I think the professor needs his vitamins." "Take him away." "And now, gentlemen, for another treat." "I'm going to show you something that you never dreamed possible." "Dad." "alicia." "I thought I'd lost you for ever." " It's all right." " There is no time to lose." "The Lion is shipping five billion doIIars' worth of heroin to the US tomorrow." "If that gets through, nothing will stop him." " Where are the marines?" " In the basement." "cell block A." "alicia, take your father to the boat." "If I'm not back in an hour, leave." "Go." "These symbols will focus the ultimate power of purpose." "Zai." "You were just a baby when I first found you." "I conditioned your body and your senses." "I only teach you what you need to know, so when the time comes, you can take your place on the field of honour and meet your destiny." "Zen." "Kobudera." "Kobudera." "Ninja magic." "lntonjutsu." "The ability to seem invisible, cause fear and paralysis in your enemies." "You are ready, my son." "I will be with you in deed and in my heart." "Follow the bushido." "(Armstrong) I will honour the code, Father." "OK, ladies." "The main objective is to get everybody out alive." "No shooting unless we're shot at." "You know what to do." "Let's move out." "(Wild Bill) Come on, move it out." "(man) Stevens." "What?" "Hi, guys." "I'm Joe Armstrong." "wild bill sent me to take you home." " Let's go." " wild bill?" " AII right!" " Come on." "(Armstrong) Where does this door lead to?" "(man) The arena." "(they whisper indistinctly)" "(man) I can't see." "(Burke) American ninja, I presume." "How very nice to meet you." " Your days are over, Burke." " On the contrary." "I'm expecting an even more prosperous future, and parts of you will be a part of that future." "Take 'im to the lab." "OK, men." "Let's move out." " The man isn't human, Leo." " What do you think they are?" "I never would have believed it." " I told you so." " FarIie, make 'em dance." " Yes, sir." " (Wild Bill) Let's do it!" " What was that?" " How the hell do I know?" "Hit it!" "Finish off that son of a bitch once and for all." "The rest of you, come with me." "(machine-gun fire in distance)" " There's something I must do." " I'II come with you." "No, no, I must do this alone." "I Iove you." "(man) hold back!" "(man) hold it!" "Merry Christmas." "AII right, it's a party." "Let's go!" "Shit." " What do we do now, Leo?" " Kiss my ass." "Thank God." "The Lion was going to kill me." "Yeah, right." "Take him." "I'II see if I can find Mr Burke for you." "Catch that little weasel." "Let's move out." "What's going on?" "What the hell are you doing?" "I was hoping we could create a better world, Leo, where crippIes could walk and the blind could see, and criminal vermin could be made into useful citizens." " But you corrupted me." " You understood." "You understood what we were trying to create." "Create?" "You destroyed everything that I dreamed of." "Now I'm going to destroy your dreams." "Damn you!" "Stay down!" "(man) Man, am I glad to see you!" "could I have everyone's attention?" "Jackson, Armstrong." "I must admit, for army you're not half bad." "But if you wanna join the marines, I can pull some strings." "I don't know about Jackson, sir, but I think I've got other plans." "So do I, colonel." "If you're round this way again, look us up." " Sir." " Good luck, Armstrong." "Right on." " I'II write to you." " No, you won't." " I'II call you." " No, you won't." "Right." "Just remember me." " Look after yourself." " Thank you." "You guys'd better hurry if you wanna catch that plane." " Let's go." " OK." " Thank you, sir." " Good luck, Armstrong." "(men) See you, guys." "So long." "Good luck." "(man) Take it easy."
