Synopsis: Frank Dux has spent most his life being trained by Tanaka to participate in the Kumite, the ultimate martial arts tournament, where participants are seriously injured, even killed. Frank decides to go despite being told by his superiors in the army that he can't because they need him. Two army officers are sent to get him and the trail leads to Hong Kong but Frank eludes them. While Frank advances, he knows that he may have to face Chong Li, the defending champion, who has killed a few participants.

- May I help you?

- Yeah, how you doing?

My name's Jackson. This is Mr. Frank Dux.

Are our rooms ready?

Mr. Lin in Room 310 wants to see you

after you check in.

Who the hell's Mr. Lin?

I'm Lin. You Jackson?

You look like a Jackson.

That would make you Frank Ducks.

No, no. It's Dux.

Gotcha. Like "Put up your dukes," right?

Okay, so here's the deal.

This is the biggest kumite ever.

We got fighters from all over.

I've been assigned by the IFAA...

...to help you

and the other North American fighters...

...to find your way around.

I'm gonna make sure

you guys give it your best.

And don't disqualify by fighting

outside the arena.

The Triad, they are like the Mafia...

...is allowing us

to hold kumite here this time.

Here it comes, man, the Walled City.

Not a place for outsiders.

You are in Hong Kong.

But you are about to cross

an invisible border into mainland China.

No joke, man.

It's a run-down piece of no-mars-land...

...in the middle of a tourist paradise.

It goes back to the old lease agreement

between Great Britain and China.

Once you step out of the sunlight

into the narrow corridors...

...it's time to protect your nuts, guys.

Okay, USA!

"Okay, USA!"

Okay, guys.

First, you'll show the Black Dragon boys

your invitation.

Then you got to qualify

and prove to them...

...you can step onto the runway

and not get killed.

Got it?

You got it?

It says he represents the Tanaka clan.

You don't look like Tanaka.

Shidoshi Tanaka trained me.

What's the hold up?

He says Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi.

What's the difference

if Bruce Springsteen is his Shidoshi?

If Senzo Tanaka is his Shidoshi...

...then show us the dim mak.

What the hell is a dim mak?

Death touch.

Thanks.

Vic, choose a brick.

Okay, Frank.

What about this one?

No!

Bottom one.

Son of a b*tch!

Is that good enough, guys?

We honor your invitation.

No sh*t, you honor his invitation!

That was great.

Very good, but brick not hit back.

Here's a picture

of the man we're looking for.

His name is Frank Dux.

We have reason to believe

Frank is here in Hong Kong.

His name was on a list...

...on a flight from San Francisco

two days ago.

Two days ago?

Maybe he already left,

went somewhere else.

Asia's a very big place, you know.

We were hoping

you'd hold onto this for reference.

We're here because Frank is

fighting in the kumite...

...and we're here to stop him.

The kumite?

Yes.

Inspector Chen...

...we all know the kumite

is happening here in Hong Kong.

And we all know it's going on

over the next three days.

All we want you to do is

pass this picture out to your men.

If they spot Dux,

they give us a call at our hotel. Simple.
