: Quiet, Bandit.
: How do you expect me to concentrate with you yapping?
: It's alright, Jonny. Even with Bandit quiet, you were losing.
: [Bandit growling]
: You sure are a persistent pup, Bandit.
: What's eating you anyway?
: [growling continues]
: [barking]
: No, he won't stop till we go with him. Come on, Hadji.
: woof woof woof
: [Bandit barking]
: I don't see anything.
: [man screaming]
: Look. Over there.
: [shouting]
: I'll get the boat hook.
: You call dad.
: Dr. Quest, please, come quick!
: [instrumental music]
: But I'm not sure I understand.
: You do not want us to go to the island?
: Uh, no. Uh, no. No go.
: A bad, bad dragons.
: A big, a-a big dragons.
: Wow! Did you hear that, Hadji?
: Dragons.
: Of course. And naturally, they breathe fire.
Dr. Quest: These dragons, they're big lizards, aren't they?
male #1: Big. Very big. Yes. Yes.
Race: Why shouldn't we go ashore?
: Oh, Dr. Ashida bad. Bad man.
: He kill. No go, no go.
: Well, one thing's certain.
: The poor fellow's terrified of Ashida.
: Ashida. Bad, bad.
: Ashida. He's the guy who came to see, isn't he, dad?
: Hardly a guy, Jonny.
: Dr. Ashida is a most respected scientist.
: He's quite well known for his zoological work, isn't he, sir?
Dr. Quest: Very well known.
: It's alright. We'll go ashore.
: You can stay onboard ship.
: You'll be safe here.
: Oh, thank you. Thank you.
: [instrumental music]
: [thwacking]
: The next time you disobey my orders I will feed you to my pets.
: You may rise, great fat fool.
: [knock on door]
: Yes?
Antoine: Quest is here, Lord.
: Ah, Dr. Quest.
: Great news.
: Show him in.
: And be quick about it.
: Yes, Lord.
: It is such a great honor to welcome you here to my humble dwelling, Dr. Quest.
: We're honored to be received so cordially, Dr. Ashida.
: Everything on Ashida is yours.
: You call the island Ashida, doctor?
: Why not? I own it.
: What better name can a man give his land than his own?
Ashida: Come, I will show you around.
: [Bandit barking]
: [gurgling]
: So you have no idea why that native would be so afraid of you?
: None. Unless he has run amok.
: They do sometimes, you know.
: He, uh, spoke of dragons.
: Ah, yes. My dragons.
: Yours?
: Mine.
: Now here, Dr. Quest is what my experiments began with.
: Beautiful, isn't it?
: [Bandit barking]
Race: Quiet, Bandit.
: Do you recognize the species, Dr. Quest?
: The Tobura Lizard.
Ashida: Exactly.
: In danger of becoming extinct when I came here 20 years ago.
: [Bandit growling]
Jonny: Quiet, boy.
Ashida: In you go, little one.
: And now, this next one is the same Tobura lizard but after two generations of improved genes control.
: Watch.
: [growling]
: snap Huh! He's a charming fellow.
Ashida: He is, isn't he?
: [barking]
Ashida: Next is my crowning glory.
: I have to keep them in pits.
: I don't have cages big enough.
: [growls]
Dr. Quest: Incredible. It's as big as a crocodile.
Ashida: A 14 feet seven inches from nose to tail.
: And all my own, doctor.
: If any species can be said to owe its existence to an outside source then the Ashida Dragon owes its life to me.
: [laughing]
: Wow, what do they eat?
: They would eat you, my boy, if I let them.
: [laughing]
: [Bandit growling]
: Oh, your little friend would be a great delicacy for them too.
: [Bandit yelping]
: [Ashida laughing]
: [growls]
Ashida: They are flesh eaters, you know, young man.
: And cannibalistic as well.
: There is only one man who can control them.
: [clapping]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: I do not believe it, Jonny.
: He is like the Cyclops of old.
Ashida: This one's name is Sumi.
: Keeper of my dragons and champion wrestler in all the world.
: Is that not so, Sumi?
Ashida: He has never been defeated.
Race: I sure wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alley.
: Uh-huh, I do not keep him around for his looks, Mr. Bannon.
Ashida: My dragons are not sensitive.
: They do not mind his ugliness.
: Tell me, doctor, the native who swam out to the schooner would his tribe be dragon worshippers by any chance?
Ashida: How perceptive of you.
: The natives here worshipped Kamatomo, a dragon effigy.
: That was before I took over.
: I gave them a new God.
: Now they worship...me.
: [laughing]
: Uh, come, gentlemen.
: Let us begin the contest.
: Contest?
Ashida: This is my survival pit, doctor.
: Surely you don't think my dragons grew to their present size by accident.
: As you know, in nature, only the strong survive.
: I gave nature a helping hand.
: [laughing]
: You pit one beast against another?
Ashida: Exactly.
: In a fight to the death.
: The victor devours the vanquished.
: Watch.
: [claps]
: Prepare the beasts.
: Are you gonna make a couple of them fight now?
Ashida: Of course.
: And it's not a question of making them fight.
: They know no other way of life.
: [growls]
Ashida: It's all in the interest of science anyway.
: [Ashida laughing]
: [growling]
Dr. Quest: I don't happen to approve of this, Dr. Ashida.
: Let's go, Race, boys.
: Very well.
: If your western stomachs cannot stand it we shall postpone the duel.
: Sumi..
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [claps]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [growling]
: We have a different perspective.
: We feel the same way.
: Whether the objects be four-footed or two-legged.
: Only the strong survive.
: This is why I workout with Sumi every day.
: Workout?
Ashida: Judo. Karate.
: Sumi retired undefeated in over a thousand bouts.
: He calls me his finest pupil.
: It is too bad you do not understand our way of fighting, Quest, my friend.
: I understand it, Dr. Ashida.
: Really? Then let's have a match.
Ashida: But I warn you, I am most expert.
: You're not serious, are you?
: I outweigh you by 20 pounds.
Ashida: Our bigness means very little in Judo, Mr. Bannon.
: It will be interesting to have an opponent other than Sumi.
: Prepare yourself, Bannon.
: [intense music]
: Before we get into this too far, are you sure you want to..
: whack Your answer, Mr. Bannon.
: Hey, that wasn't fair!
: [Bandit barking]
: Some of my moves may seem a little unorthodox to you.
: Such as this.
: Oh, come now.
: You can kick higher than that.
: thud
Jonny: Hooray for Race!
: That's enough.
: I agree, doctor.
: I disagree.
: We will stop when I am ready.
: As you wish.
: [Ashida screaming]
: thud Can we call this thing off now?
: [panting]
: I concede to you, Bannon.
: And to your superior ability.
: You have won.
: It may interest you to learn, I have never before been defeated at Judo.
: It is a new feeling for me.
: Not that I mind, you understand.
: I applaud your talents, Mr. Bannon.
: And now..
: [claps]
: ...I shall have Himoki show you to your room.
Ashida: Show our guests to their quarters.
: Dinner will be served in one hour.
: Race. Boys.
: As you know, I plan to stay in this area several days.
: Right, dad.
: Well..
Dr. Quest: I'm gonna change the plans.
: We're leaving here.
: Why, doctor?
: Principally, our host, he has changed radically from when I knew him before.
: Right, as far as I'm concerned, doctor the guy has flipped his wig.
: That's a possibility, Race.
: But sane or not, Ashida has become a very dangerous man.
: And one the authorities should be made aware of.
: When do we leave, sir?
: I'm for right now.
: The sooner the better.
: Let's go.
: [instrumental music]
: [door creaking]
Hadji: Shh. Jonny.
Jonny: Don't tell me, tell the door.
: [growling]
Jonny: Shh, boy, let's not advertise ourselves, shall we?
: [whimpers]
Jonny: Okay, okay. So you're sorry.
: [intense music]
: So far, so good.
: [dragon growling]
Race: Listen.
: [growling continues]
Dr. Quest: Well, I guess it's as clear as it's ever going to be.
: Let's move out.
: What's that noise, dad?
: I hear it too.
Dr. Quest: I don't know, but keep your eyes open.
: [growling]
: Look. Dragons.
: Head for a tree, boys.
: [growling]
: Hurry, Jonny.
: [growling]
: [dramatic music]
: [growling continues]
: [laughing]
: Call them back, Sumi.
: [speaking in foreign language]
: My, my. What manners you Americans possess.
: You were leaving without telling me goodbye.
: And had I not, merely by chance been nearby, I shudder to think what might have befallen you.
: [growling]
: Those lizards make good watchdogs, don't they, Ashida?
: Ah, you noticed that, Mr. Bannon.
: How complimentary of you.
: Yes. Sumi releases a dozen or so each night.
: It ensures a sound sleep for me.
: In short, you will leave when I give the word, and not before.
: You don't fool us.
: You couldn't take getting beaten at judo, could you?
: I would not talk of beating if I were you, my barbarian friend.
: I will make you a sporting proposition, Quest.
: If your man, Bannon, can stand up to my Sumi then you may leave.
: Me and that portable skyscraper?
Race: I bet you want odds too.
: Ah, no, Bannon.
: I am a true sportsman.
: Defeat Sumi and you win your freedom.
: You got yourself a fight.
: No, Race, I can't allow it.
: What other choice have we, doctor?
: Alright, Ashida, bring on your man-mountain anytime.
Ashida: No mistakes this time, Sumi.
: I want that look of superiority wiped off their faces.
: After that, I shall decide at leisure what to do with them.
: You can't do it, Race.
: He'll kill you.
: Let face it, doctor, if he doesn't that two-bit mad scientist will.
: So what've we got to lose?
: At least I've got a chance.
: A 100 to 1 perhaps.
: That's better than nothing.
: Let's not give up before we start.
Ashida: Come, Bannon. It's time.
: Sumi.
: Now, you will abide by the green belt rules for champions.
: No quarter shall be given.
: None shall be asked.
: Let the exhibition begin.
: [claps]
: [intense music]
: This should be most interesting.
: Don't you agree, doctor?
: [intense music]
: Ya-a-ah!
Hadji: Look out, Race.
: [grunting]
: [Sumi speaking in foreign language]
: thud Gosh! Race looks unconscious.
: [laughing]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [Race groaning]
: [dramatic music]
: I should never have allowed him to do this.
Dr. Quest: Call off your man, Ashida.
: No, Dr. Quest.
: I'm not finished yet.
: thud Get up, you fool.
: [groaning]
: Come on, you ugly mug.
: Stop lying down on the job.
: [grunting]
: thud
: [dramatic music]
: [shouts]
: [music continues]
: huda to you!
: [grunts]
: crash Kill him. Kill him.
: [yelping]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [screaming]
: [dramatic music]
: [screaming]
: There's only one way to stop a freight train like that.
: Head on!
: thud
: [Sumi groaning]
: Wow! A flying tackle.
: Hold on to him, Race.
: Surrender?
: [Sumi grunts]
: He will never surrender.
: He knows what would happen to him if he did.
: Come on, surrender.
: Surrender!
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [tapping]
: You were terrific, Race.
: I was praying for you.
: [Bandit barking]
: I don't know how you did it, Race, but you were magnificent.
Race: And lucky.
: Congratulations, Bannon.
: Some day you must teach me that new hold.
: Yeah. Some day.
: We're leaving, as per the arrangement.
: So...as I think I said, you will leave when I allow it.
: And not one moment before.
: [speaking in foreign language]
: Yes, Lord.
: Prepare the special room.
: Dr. Quest's party will be my guests for a while longer.
: [laughing]
: At once, Lord.
: [Ashida laughing]
: What do we do now?
: We wait.
: There's nothing else we can do.
: [Bandit barks]
: [Bandit growling]
: [Bandit barks]
: creak Look, the door.
: It is open, Dr. Quest.
: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!
: Not so fast, Jonny.
: What do you think, Race?
: A trap?
: I sure do, doctor.
: I think he wants us to leave, so he can set his lizards on us.
: And you want to oblige him?
: We don't have a choice, doctor.
: I can stall 'em just long enough to give you and the kids a fighting chance to reach the cliffs.
: From there you can swim to the schooner.
: And leave you to face those beasts by yourself?
Race: I'll be right behind you, doctor. Don't worry.
: I'm not anxious to furnish a meal for 'em.
: I agree. But only for the sake of the boys.
: Alright. Let's go.
: All clear.
: So far, so good.
: Not far enough.
: That's the whole trouble.
: Shh. I think Ashida is out to get me first.
: When we spot the dragons, I'm sure he'll have Sumi chase me.
: That'll give you your chance.
: Listen, I think I hear them.
: [growling]
: [dramatic music]
: Okay, now, doctor.
: Good luck.
Dr. Quest: And to you, Race.
: Let's go, boys.
: [growling]
: Hey, over here, fatso.
: [growling]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [growling continues]
: [speaking in foreign language]
Race: Hey, you!
: [shouts]
: You're going the wrong way, ugly.
: [shouts]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [dramatic music]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [growling]
: I wish I had something to fight with.
: Hey...maybe that rock's the answer.
: You're way off!
: But you're getting warm!
: [Sumi grunts]
: [speaking in foreign language]
: [growling]
: [dramatic music]
: Sure could use a bomb sight right now.
: [dramatic music]
: crash
: [Sumi grunting]
: One down and one to go.
: [upbeat music]
: [growling]
: Boy, what a beautiful sight.
: [growling continues]
: Uh-oh. Company.
: [growling]
: [Sumi speaking in foreign language]
: [Ashida laughing]
: I better make it good.
: Because I won't get another chance.
: thud
: [speaking in foreign language]
: Sorry I can't stay, Sumi.
: splash
: [screaming in foreign language]
: So, you let them get away.
: I warned you what I would do.
: Kneel, you stupid ox, and take your punishment.
: Sumi, do as I say.
: Put me down.
: Do you hear me, Sumi?
: Put me down!
: Argh!
Ashida: I'll have you fed to the dragons. Stop!
: [growls]
: [laughing]
: [growling continues]
: I warn you. I'll..
: [screaming]
: [growling]
: We owe you our lives, Race.
: We were lucky, doctor.
: But from now on, I'd rather leave the dragon slaying to St. George.
: Dad, how long do you think Ashida can get away with this crazy stuff?
: I don't know, Jonny.
: But things always seem to even up.
: I have a hunch Ashida's dragons might even take care of him one day.
Dr. Quest: He'll pay for his crimes one way or another.
