Knock Off Page #2

Synopsis: A Hong Kong fashion designer (Jean Claude Van Damme, if you can believe that billing) who had previously been involved in knock offs of major label merchandise, such as "Pumma" running shoes, attempts to go straight with the help of his new partner (Rob Schneider), who is secretly an undercover CIA agent involved in an investigation of the black market. Their main product, jeans, is involved in the knock offs, which brings a representative (Lela Rochon) of the American company to investigate. Paul Sorvino also appears as the head of the CIA operation in Hong Kong. However, just as Schneider is not as he initially seems, everyone in the film switches roles by film's end.

Besides trashing your company's

reputation, why are you here?

Who are you?

Do we get a parking ticket?

Karen Lee. Executive VP,

International Sales, V-Six Jeans.

I realise this is difficult

for you, -

- but try to think.

What are those?

- V-Six 606, size eight.

- Your size.

I'm a six, thank you.

Mr Hendricks,

the masseuse is here.

Cancel her for the rest of the week.

Make it the rest of the month.

You're not used to pulling

your own weight, but try. Pull!

I meant, together.

Pull.

That's enough.

Now try these.

In light of our mascot,

how do you explain this?

I've been working out, and you...

- Okay, they're knock-offs.

- Exactly.

Cheap 8-ounce denim, instead of

the 14-ounce in our authentic jeans.

There are knock-off artists here?

I'm shocked.

Hong Kong is Knock-off Central, for

everything from Benetton to Puma.

- The Pope's Catholic. So what?

- These are from the last shipment.

- Half the shipment was counterfeit.

- That's impossible.

Inspector's report. Check it

against the shipping manifest.

She's right.

She Iooks good when she's right.

And if half the shipment

was of 8-ounce denim, -

- at wholesale, that means that

V- Six Jeans has lost $4,200,000.

You didn't convert

Hong Kong dollars to US dollars.

The real figure is $5,400,000.

This calculator has a...

Excuse us.

Bangkok won't ship the yardage

because of the hand-over.

Swap the destination with the

origin. When it gets here, -

- tell customs we made a mistake,

and "return" it here.

Don't you have something

for me to sign?

- I sign things too. In private.

- Like that falsified document?

- No, Ray signs the false documents.

- I agree.

I think you've spent your time here

chasing ass and getting massages.

The massage industry has problems.

I'm trying to help out Iocal girls.

I don't know or care whether you two

idiots are the instigators of this -

- Or just dupes.

We'll see tonight, when Customs raid

the factory they came from.

You must identify the merchandise.

Eddie Wang signed the lease.

Eddie Wang?

Doesn't sound familiar. Right?

I'll pick you up at 6:30 tonight.

Ray got his ass kicked last night

and hasn't slept. He can't do this.

Don't worry. If Ray's mixed up in

this, he'll get rest... in prison.

- And so will you.

- Prison?

Yes! Counterfeiting is a crime,

whether it's clothes or money.

If you're not available tonight,

I'll assume you're trying to flee.

And then trust and believe,

I will take appropriate action.

Like I said, 6:
30.

Be there.

She Iooks good when she's mean.

Right?

Where's Eddie, big guy?

Where's your boss?

Light you a cigar?

Of course not... you're dead.

Idiot Comrade Volkov killed you.
