if you wish

all right

come on

i don't want to hurt you

it's not me who will be hot

do you see what i mean

and i'm not even considered a good

fighter you go up against a professional

you get hurt permanently

[Applause]

why are you doing this

why are you here

i told you

i'm looking for a fight

but after what you just did to me i

gotta admit

i'm gonna need something if i'm gonna

beat him

who

khan

you are no match for him he will destroy

you

no great loss right just another goddamn

american frank thanks for nothing wait

why you want to show me some more moves

i know a fighter a master

who

his name is prank

he fought khan

the only one who came close to beating

him had him beaten

prang is a reckless now

wants nothing to do with the world

who does

why are you helping me

i hate to see helpless americans

no manny

my father

can you tell me where he is

he lives north of bangkok

in a small village along the bank of

mainam river

he's a hermit

he could help you prepare for khan if

he's willing he may not be

[Music]

drunk at this hour of the morning excuse

me

i'm looking for a man called praying is

this where he lives

yes

is he home

no

well do you know him

i know him well

very well

what do you want

it's personal

look tell me when he's gonna be home i

must talk to him

he will be home when i

when he gets here

[Music]

you're him you're praying

one of thailand's greatest fighters

go away nobody why you here

you know what's funny

i came out here on that boat to ask you

to train me

to teach me

all you could teach me is what life

looks like from the inside of a bottle

oh it doesn't look too bad

i bet it

doesn't i'm gonna need more than that to

solve my problems

i thought you'd be the answer

it was a good joke i got to admit that

goodbye master

good rhythm

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's a masterpiece it will be our most

successful yet

congratulations

it's not enough

we can do better

how's that

we need more attention

more

people what do you have in mine khan you

want to fight more than one

i once

killed a man

while his young brother

watched

if we can

yes i think i know what you mean

if we involve people

that the fighters cared about

think of the possibilities

the pathos

and the look on their faces when they

see their loved ones killed will add a

dimension we've never had before it's

beautiful a stroke of genius

i love it time

let's do it mr mckinney it's up to you

to find us what we need i'm aware of

that but it shouldn't be too hard in

fact i already have somebody in mind

i've just misplaced him for the moment

i'll get to work the sooner we can pull

this together the sooner we can go into

production

thank you god keep up the good work

oh

by the way have you found your sweet

lady

not yet

imagine that the world's fiercest killer

and he can't keep a woman in his own bed

we ought to make a movie out of that

[Music]

go away

oh

[Music]

ah

[Music]

you mean you could have helped me out

anytime

you were doing fine

i almost got killed for you

nobody asked for your help

i told you to go away

when i started fighting him why didn't

you jump in

i wanted to see how good you were

you're not bad

give me a break

besides

i had him right where i wanted him give

me a break

you're pretty good

even i believed you were drunk

impressive

i've had years of practice

i guess you were looking for this

my monkey took it from your bag

i'm sorry

thanks

well i guess you have a good reason for

this

i don't understand it but i respect it

i'll leave you alone

are you sure you'll have to run off

why you got some other guys you want me

to fight

i'd like to invite you to dinner

don't you want to be left alone

i'd like to talk to you

i hope you're serving monkey meat

[Laughter]

i had him beaten

but my concentration was broken

as well as four of my ribs

[Music]

i recovered

and i've lived like this ever since

[Music]

why the drunk act

i was a threat to khan

but a drunken hermit

is a threat to no one

revenge

was on my mind for a time

[Music]

but that past

i am not proud

of what i have become

you're still one hell of a fighter

what are you doing back here in thailand

ten years ago

i turned and ran

leaving my

my brother

dead

in a gutter

i convinced myself that khan didn't

matter

until i saw him in that film

i won't run away again

he won't stop at just a scar this time

you beat him you can help me

teach me to stop him

is your goal to kill him

i will not teach a murderer would you

rather teach a liar his one technique

is

unstoppable what i have to offer

might not be enough it has to be

i have to face him

and i have to win

for myself you

and for my brother

[Music]

we start tomorrow

with what

your re-education we have a lot of work

to do

thank you

i do it for myself too

besides you won't be thanking me

tomorrow

we go to bed now

touch me in the night and i'll kill you

the monkey loved that kind of talk

time to get

up ah

[Applause]

oh

using your knee

break all of these

these

[Music]

it's gonna hurt

pain doesn't exist

you keep saying that but i don't see you

out here breaking these things

[Music]

bondage praying i didn't know you're

into that

frank this isn't funny

hey

let me down

let me down because point is your legs

khan will attack them

hey

hey let me down god damn it

[Music]

please let me down

hey

let me down

i'll be back soon

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Applause]

you must be ready for anything

i was just washing my face for christ's

sake for khan's sake

stay aware

[Music]

[Applause]

you're not hitting me with that thai

proverbs say success come through paint

[Music]

[Music]

ah

[Music]

the point of all this training is to

prepare you for khan's most deadly

technique

a series of three kicks

[Music]

[Music]

hear the sound of one hand clapping what

the hell does this stuff mean

that's the trouble i always have with

the orient this mystical [ __ ]

you really know what it means of course

okay tell me doesn't work that way have

to find out for yourself

[ __ ] you don't know do too

now get back to your meditation

i'm listening to a [ __ ] drunk

worthless piece of [ __ ] american i heard

that i wanted you to

[Music]

ah

why you stop

if this is your idea of training you're

crazy you want to be ready for khan then

keep going forget about it all this

shit's doing is burning what little time

i have left

this is the way that i learned yeah and

how far did that get you

what

you lost i can't afford to lose

[Music]

[Music]

praying i'm sorry

i didn't mean it that way

it's okay

i did lose

that's not the version i heard

i just don't want to blow this chance at

khan that's all

i apologize for what i said without your

help i don't stand a chance

we both want the same

thing together we can succeed

i know that

i'll do whatever you say

anything

anything you think is necessary

[Applause]

huh

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

the t-master had to face the warrior in

a fight to the death the next day

he went to a master swordsman for help

the swordsman told him there was nothing

he could teach him that would enable him

to win against the warrior

then

he asked him to make tea for him

while the tea master prepared the tea

he was completely concentrated

nothing else intruded nothing else

existed

when the tea was done

the swordsman smiled

he said

tomorrow

face the warrior sword in hand with the

same attitude

your mind empty

ready to face death

[Music]

when the warrior saw that the tea master

was completely ready to die

he turned and ran away

the warrior who clings to life

will surely die

he who embraces death

will survive

do you see what i mean

yeah i think so

you want me to learn to make tea

even you

could not be so stupid

i have in many ways been running from

death while at the same time hoping for

it to find me it's been 10 years now and

death is just around the corner

i'm ready to face it

i don't fear it and you stand a chance

against khan

your only chance

what

okay

ah

[Music]

you with him

yes jake sent me a letter life isn't

fair

how's he doing he's training hard

he could use a break from the routine

but he must stay focused concentrated

don't worry he will
