Knock Off Page #4

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.

- Let me...

...help you.

May I?

Here's the factory lease.

Eddie Wang signed it.

- That doesn't prove it's him.

- He's screwing us.

With Eddie,

it's more like date rape.

Could you tell my partner there

are three people on this bench?

- I hear you like 007?

- Just the ones with Sean Connery.

I hope we find something.

Last week we busted a warehouse

full of knock-off Apple Babies.

- I Iove those.

- You, too?

I buy them for my niece.

It's becoming a full-time job.

- Vanilla Creme! The rarest one!

- She's yours.

- But she's a phoney.

- It seems like they're everywhere.

- Everything is prepared.

- The men are in position.

Once it's secured, get the V-Six

people to identify the merchandise.

Marcus Ray... Parents were doctors,

died in Indo-China.

Adopted age ten, then meaningless

jobs until you met Tommy.

- That's supposed to be me?

- I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I'm sorry that Eddie

will probably be arrested.

- What are we waiting for?

- A food delivery.

When the door opens, we go in.

- Szechwan or Cantonese?

- It's "Mom's Pizza".

- Who's there?

- Mom's Pizza.

Come on, let's go!

Freaking hell!

Here's your wallet.

- I accept your apoIogy.

- I didn't say sorry.

Okay, the apoIogy's over.

Happy?

- Happy. I'm sorry.

- Me, too.

Let's go see your boss.

These guys have something

against escalators?

- What's with the sign?

- We're entering the Buddha.

What's the cover charge?

- We have to search him.

- I cleared it with the boss.

- I said, I've cleared it.

- Step back.

You want to tell me

what it is you want?

A trade. I'll bring you Eddie Wang,

if you take him out of Hong Kong.

Are you a comedian? You think Eddie

Wang is worth that? Show me more.

It's the Green Flame project, 1989.

They must have finished it.

That's not a battery

your friend is carrying.

It's an explosive device

equal to half a stick of dynamite.

If he knew it was a nano-bomb,

he wouldn't carry it.

With that level of miniaturisation,

they could target anything.

They have it. They have a remote

detonator, probably microwave.

They'll put these bombs into

clock radios, stereos, -

- cell phones, even children's toys.

Then a Iot of innocent people

will be in great danger.

- What do I do about Eddie?

- Bring Eddie in.

Tell him I'll protect him.

He might know something.

- So you're a spy?

- An intelligence analyst.

- Anything I heard of?

- You've heard of the Gulf War?

- What the hell's that?

- It's a message from Eddie.

- Where the hell are we?

- It's a fruit market.

- Johansson would Iove this.

- I hope he keeps his word.

Shouldn't we be leaving a trail

of breadcrumbs?

So you still care?
