All language subtitles for Colossus & the Headhunters (1963)

Where is King Sandor?
- I do not know.

Father, father!

Father!
- Ariel!

Ariel, my son, save yourself!

Let's escape the island, Ariel, quickly!

Ariel, help us! Where do we flee?
- Look!

Who are you?
- Don't ask questions

and follow me if you want to save yourself,
soon, with me, to the sea!

Ariel!

Come on, Asmyn, come on.

Soon! Everyone on the raft, quick!

Come on, move!

Tie up the sail!

Watch! Look at the island!

We escaped just in time.
- Yes. The gods protected us.

Tie the sails tight!
- I'll handle that.

It was scary, Asmyn. Terrible.

We owe you our life.
- Wait a minute, we're not safe yet.

What's your name?

Maciste, yours?
- I am Ariel, son of King Sandor.

My father is dead.

It saddens me, man.
Then you are the leader of this people.

Of what's left of it.

And where are you heading?

I wish I could tell you.

I was sailing aimlessly
when I saw your island.

I was low on food.
Only sky and sea, sea and sky.

The king always spoke of a distant land,
in the direction of the waning moon.

He had lived there as a child.

He remembered a fabulous city of gold,
the kingdom of the Urias.

Of the Urias?
Yes, I've heard of it too.

If we could reach that land.

But it seems that the gods
have abandoned us.

The moon will guide us.

The wind rises, up the sail!
- Up the sail!

Ariel!

Stay close to me, Ariel.
I am afraid. I had a terrible dream.

A monster grabbed me
and I had no voice to call you.

Take it easy, Asmyn. Trust me.

I'm beginning to despair, Maciste.
Maybe we're following shadows.

If we assume that the moon is a shadow,
Ariel. We trust in my lucky stars.

After so much sea there can't be no land.

May the gods hear you.
- Don't despair.

Earth! Earth!

Earth! Finally, land!

Earth, finally!

We're safe, Asmyn!

Rest up, I'm off to explore the interior
to look for water and food.

Be careful, Maciste. Be cautious.

Stop, stranger!

Throw your sword if you want to save your life.

Let's get them.

Follow me!

Look!

Is dead.
- Where did it come from?

Nice feast for ants.

Sooner!

Good. Don't cry, come on.

And Maciste?

Who knows, it doesn't stay there
than to trust in his lucky stars.

After you!

Soon!

Hurry up!

Where is the queen? Where did she go?
- He's hunting, Tyran. Look for her in the woods.

I'm going. Dainor, Tacor! come!

What will become of us, Ariel?

There is only one hope.
May Maciste find us.

Get up!

If you must hit me,
try to do it this other way.

Here others have preceded you.

Don't waste words,
stranger, recommend yourself to the gods.

You have a strange way
to welcome those who come from afar,

what kind of people are you?

My men have been taken away
without having time to say a word.

And how are you here?
Which tribe do you belong to?

I was just looking
food and water for my people.

Peaceful people and already so tried.

Where do you come from?
- From the sea.

From an island where they have no meaning
of hospitality at the tip of the arrows.

Stop!
- Come on, lead me to your people!

Remember that if you do
the slightest sign I'll kill you.

Stop where you are!

Leave that woman, stranger.

She is our queen, the queen of the Urias.

Of the Urias?

They told me about you
in quite another way.

But perhaps King Sandor spoke of others.

King Sandor?
Are you from his land at the edge of the sea?

Why such astonishment, queen?

The ancient legend is coming true.

Let him be taken to the village and taken care of.

Follow me.

No, no, rest again,
your life is precious to us.

You are here, queen.
Now you really look like a queen to me.

You are welcome
in my poor realm, stranger.

Help me understand your behavior.

You wanted to stab me first
and now I wake up here, cared for and cared for

and moreover by a very sweet girl.

Perhaps you are unaware of the disaster
that has come upon my people.

Now I will tell you,
get ready to hear a sad story.

The Urias lived
industrious and happy in the Valley of Heaven,

a fabulous city of 100 golden towers.

At that time my father reigned,
King Olibana, a wise and just man.

But misfortune wanted my father
had Kermes as adviser

and have it around
it was like having a nest of snakes in my bosom.

Kermes was an iniquitous man,
ruthless and dominated by immoderate ambitions.

He allied himself secretly
with a fierce tribe of the interior,

the headhunters.
- The headhunters.

Yes, they are a horde of savages,
of boundless ferocity.

They cut off the heads of their enemies
and adorn the village huts with it,

they perform dreadful blood rites
in honor of their wicked deities.

And allied with them.

Kermes opened to headhunters
the gates of the golden city.

They made a horrible massacre.

In a few moments the city was a fire,
an orgy of screams and blood.

My people were exterminated.

I barely saved myself with a few survivors
and with the help of the faithful squire Tyran,

we departed from Urias, the dead city,
taking refuge in the forest.

And your father?

He died, I never heard from him again.

Was his body found?

No.
- Then why do you say he's dead?

They said they saw it
fall from a tower.

And Kermes?

Lives in the village
of headhunters.

He knows I'm alive.

Therefore we are forced
to move constantly,

to escape his pursuits.

I don't like the idea of getting acquainted
with these headhunters.

You won't be taken by surprise, I hope.

No, Tyran has set up lookouts
on peaks and in gorges.

Forgive my insistence,
but you want to tell me why

of your concern for me?

No one had ever come here by sea.

Do you know what one of our legends says?
- No tell me.

When misfortune
will fall upon the Urias,

one day it will come from the sea
a strong and courageous man.

This says our legend.

I understand that you need my help
but you can't count on it, at least for now.

Other people, my friend, need me.

And it doesn't appeal to me
the thought that my head

go decorate
some savage's hut.

I landed here with some companions.

I have to find them
protect them, they trusted me.

I have a duty to lead them away from here,
looking for quieter places.

And there's no time to waste. I have to leave.

Stop!

I could force you
to stay at the price of life.

The daughter of a king who was wise
and right he never would.

Maybe you are our last hope,
the gods said so.

The gods have said so many things.
Goodbye queen and good luck.

Let's leave now, Ariel.
There is tremendous danger upon this island.

We bring our people to safety
as far away as possible.

They are leaving.
You won't allow it, will you?

He's a coward.

Why should we hold back here
a man worthy of contempt?

I don't trust those people.

I'll have to keep an eye on them.
- Do you think they can betray us?

May they reveal
where are we in Kermes?

I don't know, but it's better to follow them,
see what they do and where they go.

You two, come!

They need us and we need them.

When we have put
safe all these people,

if you want to come, I'll go back.

You can count on me.

The Urias are a peaceful people
and unfortunate, I want to help them.

After you!

I am restless, desolately sad.

Our sadness is generated
from the same disillusionment, Amoha.

What disillusionment are you talking about?

That foreigner brought
away with it many of our hopes.

Are you sure it's the sea road?
- Yes, the seagulls are starting to appear.

Why so sad, Amoha?
- I can't forget that man.

It wasn't worthy of you.

Something tells me that his words
they did not express his thoughts.

He talked about leaving.

I have never loved, Moana,
but I am short of breath

every time the thought
of that man surprises me.

Try to forget him, he's gone.

Will never come back.
- To arms! Alarms!

They are attacking the village!

The Headhunters! Quick, let's go!

It's a war signal. You carry on!
- I come with you!

Where are you going? Your place is here with us.

Farad, you take charge.

Go back to where we landed,
if you are in danger

jump on the raft
and leave quickly

and don't worry about us.

After you!
- Don't worry, I'll be back.

Do not leave me.
I'm scared, Ariel, don't go.

Don't worry for me, I'll be back soon.

You will wait for me, right?
- Yes.

Leave me!

More are coming, to the bridge!

Back, the gods!

We arrived late.

What can you do now?

I can't abandon these people!

The fate of the Urias has been fulfilled.
We have to look after ourselves, our comrades.

I mistrusted you unjustly.
The gods have punished me.

You were really capable
to mistrust us?

Yes and to follow you and spy on your moves

I have forsaken my people
to fire and extermination.

Come on, they can't have killed them all.

Let's get going,
they won't have gotten very far.

We will be able to reach them.

They've been here, let's go.

Great news for you.
We have found and destroyed the village.

Queen Amoha is a prisoner here.

Well, Gunk. Bring her here.

Finally!
Our hopes come true.

With Amoha I have the key to power.

Maybe today
I will ascend the throne of the Urias.

Welcome, Amoha.

How dare you, Kermes,
speak to your king's daughter

that you betrayed and killed?

I would find it cheaper
forget these things.

And you think I can ever forget them?

Maybe yes, after listening to me.

Save your breath, Kermes,
I won't believe a single word of yours.

I advise you to listen to it, queen,
in your interest and that of the Urias people.

So listen.

For years you have always succeeded
to escape me by hiding in the forest.

I left you when you were a girl.

Now you are a real woman. And what a woman.

Beautiful and courageous, in everything worthy
to stand on the throne of the Urias.

I am fully entitled
to stand on that throne.

In law yes,
but not in the possibility, at least for now.

I am your only chance.

Why exactly you
would you offer me this kingdom?

Which other
dirty machination have you conceived?

Please don't misjudge me.

I could dispose of your life
at my discretion, Amoha.

And instead

I offer you to return to the throne of the Urias.
- What do you ask me in return?

Well, it's simple and sensible.

A woman can't hold the weight
of a kingdom on her frail shoulders.

They are needed to govern
cunning, strength, decisiveness, cruelty.

All these virtues put together
only a man can possess them.

A man like you, right, Kermes?
- Already!

This I wanted to tell you, Amoha,

for this I will reign by your side,
to assist and advise you.

Now I will tell you
what are your true intentions.

You can't by yourself
seize the throne of the Urias.

Very few traitors like Aros are with you

but all the others, the thousands of Urias
still hiding in the forest,

those no, never, so what
you thought of me who would reign by right!

You can think what you like,
so nothing changes.

You will have no other choice.

Nor will that it is not
what I, your conqueror, will impose on you!

I prefer death
than to join a filthy scoundrel!

I will bend you, you will crawl moaning
on my hands and knees at my feet.

And someone who is dear to you
he will pay for this affront.

Who?
- I'll drown your presumption

in a river of tears and blood!

Who is this person who would be dear to me?

I will satisfy your curiosity.
Aros, command an escort.

We go to the city Urias.

Come on, come.

That's what it's reduced to
the golden city of the Urias.

A pile of ruins!

Why don't you come back?

No Urias will ever return
until the queen sits on the throne.

It is a vow made to the gods.

That's why, after destroying it,
Kermes has not returned to the city,

no one would ever follow him.

It will be the punishment for treason,
tear down a kingdom and not be able to have it.

Let's go!
- No, we do not continue,

we will wait for you in the forest.

Do as you like. We go, Ariel.

Thus should Kermes die.

What are we doing here, Maciste?

It is strange that the tracks
disappear right near the city.

I have a suspicion, Ariel.

Which?
- Maybe Kermes and the headhunters

they didn't vote
not to come in here.

Does it go outside from here?
- That's exactly what I want to find out.

But who are they?
- They will be mummies of King Urias.

Come on, quick!

Is closed!

Strongman! There is a passage here.

Maybe it's not safe to go in.

It won't be prudent, but it's interesting.

Have you heard? But what will it be?

It's a human voice.
Let's try to understand where it comes from.

Kermes, it's you, damn it.
Get me out of here, obey your king!

He said king! But which king?

Let's try to talk to him.
- Go away, cursed!

We are friends and we want to set you free!
Tell us who you are, answer!

Always your king, traitor,
what did you do with Amoha?

It's king Olibana!

Friends? I don't believe your words.
It's another one of your perfidies!

Cursed!

Hear me, King Olibana, I am not Kermes.

Yes, I believe you, it's not his voice.

Welcome, whoever you are.

My name is Maciste
and I bring you news of your daughter Amoha.

Amoha? And where? What about her?

She fell into the hands of Kermes
but let's hope we can snatch it from him.

Open up!

We better get away.

You have to lead me by the hand,

before you bury me alive
Kermes blinded me.

Don't worry. You come.

Thank you.

You over there and you two with me.

And he! Kermes!
- Don't worry, we're hiding.

The torch!

King Olibana, I bring you good news.

Your daughter Amoha is with me.

I made the wise decision
to get married with her

and to bring it back
to reign on the throne of the Urias.

By my side of course.
Don't you enjoy it?

The gods will punish you for this.

By how the wheel of Fate moves,

the gods seem
all on my side, old man!

You'll have to be there too.
I need your consent.

It will give me more peace of mind
and to you a more comfortable abode.

Without my consent
the people will never return to Urias.

They are problems now
they no longer concern you.

Or you will give me your consent
or I will take revenge on your daughter.

Cursed be you.

You will publicly approve of our nuptials.

Or I'll bury you alive,
you and your Amoha.

So answer old man!

You have to follow me.

Kermes, says to follow him.
He discovered something.

All right.

We are lost.
- Let's get out of here!

Courage.

Hurry up!

Go there!

They escaped.
We catch up with Tyran in the forest.

Soon I will be the new king of the Urias.

You will return to the forest
and you shall tell the fleeing Urias

that I, Kermes, will rebuild their city.

What if we refuse?

They'll end up the same way you do.

Ninth!

Let him in.

Too bad, Olibana, you can't
see what is happening.

But there is a remedy, I'll describe it to you.

Before you your beloved daughter,
with the beautiful head resting on the block

and beside her is the executioner ready.

What infamy. All fire
of Hades will not be enough to erase it.

Yes.

Maybe, but just one word from you will suffice
to save your daughter from death.

Amoha, is what Kermes says true?

Yes, father, but you act
equally according to your conscience

and the ancient law of our ancestors.

You have won, Kermes.

And now give the Urias
the ad you already know. Aros!

My people!

Your new king is Kermes.

He will marry my daughter Amoha.

In the same moment
where the wedding will be celebrated,

you and all the Urias
now scattered in the forest

you will have to Kermes
obedience and respect

which are owed to a king.

Amoha, I'm sure
that the gods do not forsake us.

Our fate is now decided.
We must bow to fate.

This time Kermes won.

Queen!

Strongman! How dare you come here?

They will kill you!

I have come to free you.
Come on, there's no time to waste.

Moana, make sure no one comes.

I can't follow you

Kermes would atrociously take revenge
about my father and my people.

What does Kermes propose to do?

he wants to marry me,
he extorted my father's consent,

after marrying me he will be king
and all will owe him obedience.

When will the ceremony take place?

Very soon. I beg you,
Maciste, I beg you, flee, go away!

I do not want
that you run so much risk for me.

Tyran is rounding up all the Urias
fugitives hiding in the forest.

I will join them, we will do battle at Kermes
before your wedding is celebrated.

It's useless now, my fate is sealed.
I will never forget you again.

The goodness of men like you
compensates for the perfidy of Kermes.

Amoha!
- It's Kermes!

Delay as long as you can
the ceremony, I'll take care of the rest!

chase him!

Speaks! Who was that man?
How did it get here?

I do not know. And I would never tell you anyway!

Take care of yourself, Amoha!
- Kermes, calm down.

Who was that man
and what he did here does not matter.

The Headhunters
they are chasing him, consider him dead.

Yes, dead.

Right, let's think about the wedding instead.

Soon it will be dawn.

Before the sun came up
I will ascend the throne of the Urias.

After that I'll know how to bend you
with many other topics.

With the high consensus
of the deposed king Olibana,

I will join you in marriage
according to the rite of the Urias.

I will engrave your palms
and I will mix your blood.

Why aren't Maciste and Tyran here?
We must buy time at any cost.

I'm ready, Amoha.

I await the agreed order
to do what we said.

And now get up, Kermes.

And you, Amoha, by her side.

Before the gods, before the people,
to the spirits of the 1000 king Urias--

One moment! Why isn't my father here?

He didn't want to share in your joy,

but his presence is not essential,
we have already had your consent.

No, I want him to be here with me.

Kermes!
- As you like.

Your wishes are my orders.

Gunk, bring Olibana here.

my father!
- Amoha!

Father!
- My beloved daughter! Excuse me.

Forgive you for what?

We should forgive the lamb
why does the sparrowhawk pounce on him?

I warn you do not challenge
only the patience of the groom.

But that of the gods
and the spirits of kings.

One more moment, Aros.

Before every wedding
the propitiatory dance is a ritual.

Moana is ready to execute it.
- First the ceremony, then the wedding.

You want to arouse anger
of the gods, Kermes?

I am Urias!
They have received your appeal!

Thanks be to the gods,
just you I was hoping to meet!

My men and I are with you.

Let's go!

After you!

I thank you on behalf of the gods
of the dance you gave us.

But now it's time
let this marriage be concluded.

Aros!

Alarms!
- Soon! Come with me!

We are safe! Father,
don't move, wait, don't be afraid!

Stop them!

Death to the tyrant!

After you!

Ariel!
- C'mon!

Farad arrived with ours,
there is also Asmyn!

Careful!

Slaughter them!

Surrender!

I hope Maciste saw the signal.
- Careful!

Strongman!

Strongman!

You guys, come with me!

Walk.

Let's go!

Coward, leave me!
- Let's go!

Coward!
- It's useless, you won't escape me!

Amoha!
- Strongman!

Don't come near me or I'll kill her.

What kind of coward,
shield you from a woman?

Take another step and I'll cut her throat.

Leave me! Save yourself, don't think about me!

Amoha!

No, don't think about me. Chase him!

The trapped hero!

Where are you coward, come out!

Come outside!

Here I am!

Strongman!

Urias people, the weather
of massacres and violence is over.

Now we have to rebuild
our city and our kingdom.

A realm of serenity and peace,
a kingdom open to friendship, to goodness.

And speaking of friendship,
I can not address

Who of it gave us so much proof?

To the survivors of a people
unfortunate come from the sea

and that, after so many dangers,
he faced others to rescue us.

I can not tell these people:
"You have shared our misfortune,"

"share our hopes,
our peace"?

Now let my thoughts follow…

And Amoha? What about her?

She's gone far, Asmyn, far away.

Will come back?
- Who knows. Maybe someday.

Amoha, come back!
You can't come with me!

Come back! Your place
is on the throne of the Urias, not here!

I have nothing.
This wretched raft is all I have.

You are stubborn, queen!
- But in love.

You know to meet
to a life of danger and adventure?

Yes, but with you, my love.
