The Quest Page #5

Synopsis: Chris embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery that spans the globe. Kidnapped and enslaved by gun smugglers, sold by pirates and thrust into the murky underworld of gambling and kickboxing, Chris' journey takes him to forbidding Muay Thai Island where deadly martial arts are taught, the colonial splendor of British East Asia, the dank back alleys of Bangkok, desolate deserts once trod by the warriors of Genghis Khan and finally, the ancient Lost City. There he must face the ultimate test of his manhood in the fabled Ghang-gheng, the ancient winner-take-all competition in which the deadliest fighters from around the world employ the most spectacular feats of martial arts skills ever displayed in order to win the prized Golden Dragon. But fighting prowess alone will not be enough for Chris to triumph over such daunting foes. He must reach deep inside and access all of the determination, strength of character and sense of selfless honor within in order to triumph over this final obstacle

You don't have anything to do

with this damn Ghan gheng, do ya?

Huh? And you're no valet, either.

You're nothin' but

a cheap, lyin' punk.

- Take it easy.

- Take it easy?

You ain't no fighter, either. You

wouldn't last one round in a real fight.

- Whaddya think of that?

- Hey.

You want some?

Huh?

Come on. Come on!

Maxie.

No more.

No more.

Is this what you're after?

So what are you looking

so glum about?

"Maxie Devine."

This is, uh, Maxie Devine,

champion of America.

Welcome to Ghan gheng.

Kishu Yama from Japan.

Phang Prahan of Siam.

I am Phang.

Maxie Devine of America.

That's me.

Maxie Devine,

heavyweight champion of the world.

This man is

a better fighter than me...

and as the former

heavyweight champion...

I turn my title over to him.

This here's your man,

Christopher Dubois.

Dubois will be granted

a chance to prove...

if he is a worthy combatant

in the first round.

If not, Maxie Devine

shall pay the penalty...

and never leave the Lost City.

That thing is

bigger than I thought.

Why did you come back?

I've been champion a long time...

and you beat me...

with your legs, with your speed.

Besides, when I got

the invitation to come here...

I decided I was gonna see the American

flag flyin' at the end of this thing.

I don't know what's

on your mind, Chris...

but I do know a champion

when I meet one...

and I'm here to see

that you fight like one.

Now you know why.

Here in the Lost City...

at the top of the world...

we greet our first heroes.

In this mystical arena...

there are no masks-

just truth.

I wish you well.

Soviet Union against Spain.

Damn.

Japan against Okinawa.

Come.

France against Brazil!

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay

Oh-yay-oh-yay dd

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay

Oh-yay-oh-yay dd

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay Oh-yay-oh-yay dddd

Ohh!

China against Korea!

He's moving like an animal.

More like a snake.

Harry, our little pension fund.

Yeah.

Hey, boss, how come there ain't nobody

watching this thing?

Well, 'cause they don't think

anybody can lift it.

- Chris, how are you feeling?

- The kid's a winner.

Of course he is,

for at least one round.

I mean, for your sake.

After all,

you don't want to become...

a permanent resident

of the Lost City, do you?

He should be in training.

- I know you'll win the first round.

- Yeah.

You're gonna win

the whole thing.

You're going to split

the prize with them?

We have a deal.

So do we.

Turkey against Scotland!

Hey!

Ohh! Aaah!

Ooh!

Siam against Africa!

dddd

Aaah!

Germany against United States!

Chris, I don't know about you...

but I plan on seeing

Times Square again.

Get 'im!

He's outclassed.

Hope you enjoy Christmas

in the Lost City.
