Happy New Year!
I'm Ryu Saeba, or City Hunter, a private detective.
I like to work alone, stamping out crime.
I have a sidekick named Makimura, but he's not as smart,
nor as good at kung fu, nor as good Looking, nor as tall as I am.
What do you think?
But we're close friends, we've been through thick and thin.
We're invincible!
He slipped up on one occasion when he was alone.
Makimura!
Makimura, are you OK?
How would you feel having being shot 20 times?
Makimura, you're going to be OK.
Ryu Saeba, excuse me.
Promise me you'll take care of my sister, Kaori.
OK, I swear. I'll take care of her till someone takes care of me.
One more thing. Keep your hands off her.
OK, I swear.
Now I can rest in peace.
Makimura!
Since then, Kaori has been my only kin.
One thing I overlooked was that girls grow up quick.
She grew up faster than I expected.
Don't you agree?
Why did I promise Makimura I wouldn't seduce her?
Makimura, I promised not to woo Kaori. Can I change my mind now?
No!
Since then, Kaori has become my assistant.
I never knew how she felt about me, until one day...
Damn Ryu Saeba, sleeping again!
Wake up, Ryu Saeba!
Get up! Wake up!
Time's up! Get up! Wake up! Ryu Saeba, get up, quick!
Ryu Saeba, Kaori might get jealous if she sees you with us.
She's like a sister to me. She's at home cleaning the toilet.
What? Cleaning the toilet? Say that again.
Ryu Saeba, she's like a cute puppy dog.
What, her? She's big, fat and lazy.
She plods along like an elephant. She eats seven meals a day.
She likes going out and fooling around.
Whenever you ask her something, she just sticks out her tongue,
holds up her hands and sways her hips from side to side.
I wanted to give her away, but no one would have her.
Damn you, Ryu Saeba!
That's feels great!
Hey!
Wake up, please, wake up.
Hey!
I'm Kaori, Ryu Saeba's assistant. We're here to see Mr. Imamura.
Ryu Saeba, wake up. You're in an office now.
Wake up.
What perfume do you use? And what powder?
What skin care products do you use?
- What do you do? - I'm a secretary.
What's your name?
I'm a midget!
What's on your mind?
None of your business!
Mr. Ryu Saeba, I'm Koji Imamura, head of Imamura Newspapers.
This is my only daughter, Kiyoko.
She lost her mum when she was a girl, so she's quite rebellious.
Last year I met a lady.
We fell in love and intended getting married this year.
But Kiyoko objected and left home.
After much enquiry, I've discovered she's in Hong Kong.
So you want me to find her for you?
No strong arm tactics, understand?
Don't worry, he never uses force where girls are concerned.
Great, you've already got news about Kiyoko!
- I've something to tell you. - What?
I've got your birthday gift.
What? Mixing with a skate-boarding gang in the park?
Laichikok Amusement Park? Ocean Park?
- You like boat trips, don't you? - Yes, I do.
Let's go on the maiden voyage of a luxury liner.
You've really got your finger on the pulse. Talk to you later.
- What did you say? - Do you like going on boat trips.
Idiot! Don't you know how to drive?
Kaori, you go to Laichikok Amusement Park and find Kiyoko.
I'm going to Ocean Park.
We'll talk later.
Damn you, Ryu Saeba!
Go on, run me down!
So what if you've got a car! Go on, run me down!
Next time I'll smash it with a hammer!
Kiyoko, are you Japanese?
Do I speak Chinese as if I were?
How about going to a disco tonight?
Aren't we having enough fun? Let's go.
Sorry.
So you're Kiyoko Imamura. What a coincidence.
Who are you?
I'm Ryu Saeba, your dad hired me to bring you home.
Stop! Come back here.
What happened?
He tried to molest me. Stop him.
How dare you bully my girlfriend!
That bastard hit me. After him!
Stop!
Damn, he got away!
I'm sorry.
Miss, are you shopping?
Mister, could you come and help me?
Me?
- Me? Really? - Yes, you.
OK.
Kaori, where are you? I'm starving.
I haven't eaten all day.
Where are you?
Happy birthday, Ryu Saeba.
My birthday?
How tragic. Nothing to eat and it's my birthday.
Only half a piece left.
Kaori? Kaori, where are you?
Happy birthday!
It's so nice of all you girls to remember my birthday.
Ryu Saeba!
Have I gone out with you before?
- Try to remember. - Forget it.
I'm hungry, Let me eat the cake first.
No, Let's tie you up, then feed you.
Go on, then. Tie me up.
I'm hungry.
Are you blind? My mouth's down here.
You're the one who's blind. We've never met.
Why are you here, then?
You've put all our men away, so we're here to even things up.
- Right. Hit him! - No!
After him!
Stop him!
Stop!
Listen to me!
You can't get away!
Stop.
Hit him!
Over there!
Grab him!
Don't move!
Lay down your weapons.
Happy birthday.
- Kaori. - What are you up to?
These girls want to kill me!
They're trying to kill you?! You're the one with the gun!
- Ryu Saeba. - What?
Who's she? She's so ugly!
She... I...
Damn you, Ryu Saeba!
I hate you, Ryu Saeba!
I'm going on holiday with my cousin!
Kaori!
It was all your fault, you bitches!
A hero doesn't use a gun.
OK.
Let me teach you a lesson.
- Get off! - What are you doing?
I'm glad you ditched that Ryu Saeba, cousin.
He's got such a big nose and tiny eyes.
He's really fat and is so ugly. What's so good about him?
Your trousers have dropped.
Damn it! Who are you?
Sorry isn't good enough, whitey.
If I say it with a smile on my face, you think I'm being nice.
Red beard, green eyes, what a pain in the neck!
You bunch of poofters, may you all burn in hell!
Young man, don't talk like that.
Didn't your dad teach you any manners?
Your trousers have dropped again!
Kaori!
Wait for me!
Wait!
I'm waiting, I'm waiting.
Hi!
Where are you going?
You walk so slowly!
It's late, let's go.
How embarrassing!
- Do you know him? - He's Ryu Saeba, a private eye.
That's Ryu Saeba?
He's such a troublemaker.
Kaori!
Kaori! Kaori!
Welcome, welcome.
Your invitation, sir, please.
Chewing gum.
Your invitation?
- I need to see your invitation. - My invitation?
You have a great sense of humour!
Stop.
What's this?
The Mah-jongg School membership card?
I must get in there somehow.
- Please embark, miss. - Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Fuji Maru is about to sail.
I'm so hungry.
That was easy.
I must get some food.
Be extra careful when working on deck.
Where is the restaurant?
- It's... - I know.
- You... Get him. - OK.
And don't disturb the guests.
Please, have a drink.
Have a drink, please. Have a drink.
Thank you.
- I didn't see anything. - You dirty old man!
Hey! Don't step on my bread!
You stood on my bread!
Why did you do that? Give it back to me.
Over there. Get him!
Come on, catch him.
- Have you found him? - No.
- Where did he go? - Check again.
There's a ship ahead. Sound the horn.
Yes.
Please...
What a beautiful room!
- Put the luggage away. - OK.
Help me! Help me!
- You fell again? - I lost my balance.
Those cases are too heavy for you.
This is the Fuji Maru liner.
They say that all the passengers on board are filthy rich.
Imagine if I found myself a handsome rich boyfriend.
Don't forget our mission.
My job is to act as your cover.
If you solve the case, will I get a reward?
Sure.
There's going to be an international heist.
Why didn't we cancel this trip?
We've got no proof and my superior wouldn't commit himself,
so I was sent aboard to investigate.
Have you brought any weapons?
A few.
You nearly hit me!
- You're so late. - Bad traffic.
What a beautiful room.
Let's enjoy ourselves here.
Don't ever be late again. We can't afford to slip up.
Take it easy. Relax. We must enjoy ourselves here.
Until midnight.
The way you're eating that is putting the men off.
I can't help myself.
Are they all chewing gum, or have I gone deaf?
Saeko, look, it's that guy from this morning again.
Ryu Saeba brings trouble with him wherever he goes.
Hey, don't flirt with him.
I want to.
Watch out, he's a sex fiend.
They're all the same.
He chases anything in a skirt.
What girl can rival me?
He's poor.
What a waste of time.
Hamburger, hamburger! Don't go away, hamburger.
- What do you think? - It's great.
No hurry. Tonight this will all be ours.
- You go that way, I'll go this way. - Follow me.
- Excuse me. - Hurry up.
Wait for me!
Cousin, let's get married once we reach Japan, then have a family.
Let Ryu Saeba vanish forever from your life.
He'll come to find me for sure.
Never, not now we're at sea. He can't get here unless he flies.
Kaori.
You...
Protect me, cousin.
No problem.
What are you doing here?
You? Aren't you on holiday with your girlfriends?
What did you say?
Leave now, don't spoil my holiday with my cousin.
Kaori, I've gone deaf.
You never listen to what I say.
If you want me back, there are conditions.
One, no meeting other girls.
Two, no dating other girls.
Three, no staring at other girls.
I have gone deaf. I really can't hear you.
Stop playing deaf! Forget it!
What?
If my cousin weren't here, I'd use my Lethal Dragon Claw to kill you!
What?
Let's go.
You're a lucky man.
Let me tell you a secret.
The doctor says I have piles.
- Really? Why are you swimming, then? - Don't tell anyone.
I heard everything.
Mine's eight.
The banker's got nine. Banker wins.
Great!
Lose with eight, outrageous!
I said the banker would win. Bet on the banker.
Cousin, why are we in separate rooms?
On this romantic trip a great love story might happen.
Tonight, let's...
OK, you come and sleep in my room tonight.
OK.
And I'll go and sleep in your room.
I've been badly bruised.
But I will rub it better.
Rocky, swallow your pride and persist to the end.
You must struggle onwards.
You must not be proud, you must forget honour
until you win her heart.
I WILL succeed!
She will be mine. All mine!
Good. We'll let her know.
Let's go and have a few games.
Have you forgotten our mission?
We may pick up some clues at the gambling table.
That man playing cards is handsome. He looks rich too.
Stop dreaming. That's Tramp Kao Ta.
He's the gambling king of Asia.
He steals from gaming tables and also steals girls hearts.
Wherever he goes trouble follows.
- Mine's seven. - Four, four, four.
Eight, I've won again.
You always win. You're a cheat!
Come on, take your losses like a man.
- Search him! - Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
Don't make trouble here, sir.
I was only defending myself. Here, take this tip.
Put that in an ashtray.
- Cash in my chips. - It's OK, folks. Carry on.
Thank you.
Your ace of hearts.
Keep it as a souvenir. Bye-bye.
If you don't want him, Leave him to me.
He has taste.
OK, Let's synchronise our watches. It's now exactly 23:31 .
It is 29 minutes to midnight.
Vincent, you and team A move in four minutes.
Yes, boss.
Mike, you and team B start in nine minutes.
Kim and I will be in the Casino enjoying the view.
No problem.
Relax, everybody. We'll succeed for sure.
Hear what the boss said? We must succeed.
OK, I have here a list of 30 names.
They're all millionaires.
We take over the ship and take them hostage.
And the other passengers?
The sharks are hungry. Feed them.
Go to the next room and take a look.
Yes, boss.
Let's go!
- Yes? - Room service, miss.
One minute.
Come in.
May I help you, miss?
It's terrible, officer. I must see the captain.
It's urgent. Where is he?
He's resting. Tell me what the matter is.
No, it's very serious.
Sorry, captain's orders.
Terrorists are planning to take the passengers hostage.
How do you know?
I overheard them plotting in their room.
OK, I'll take you to the captain. Follow me.
Take care.
I'm starving to death.
A mouse!
I can have a snack after all.
Officer, where's the captain?
He's in the night club.
- Why have you brought me here? - You told me about the terrorists.
I'm one of them.
You...
We're taking all the rich men on board to Thailand.
You bastard!
Sorry, little girl.
Sorry.
Ryu Saeba! What are you doing here?
I came to see you.
Hold this for me.
That was my snack!
Don't move!
Stay where you are!
If any one moves, he gets it. Kiyoko, go now!
OK.
Shoot!
No bullets. What a miser.
Attention squad three, kill the couple in white.
Wait for me!
Spread out.
Over here!
Hey!
Move and I shoot.
- Kiyoko, are you OK? - Yes.
How handsome!
I mean him.
He's not bad.
He's a good fighter. He even beat that black guy.
I can handle two or three at a time.
Get up and attract their attention.
What?
- You need bait to fish. - I'm not going!
Stupid! You've wasted all the bullets.
Don't worry, I still have my fists.
2 or 3 is no problem, right?
Grab them!
Let's move!
What now?
- That's your line. - What now?
Don't worry, I'll take care of them.
Are you all right?
Sure. I'm fine.
It hurts.
Beat me up, beat me up, please!
Your shoes are so large!
Stay back!
Put me down!
Ryu Saeba!
Help me, Ryu Saeba!
Put her down.
Keep away. Don't!
Don't!
Well done, Ryu Saeba!
Ryu Saeba!
- How many terrorists are there? - No idea.
- How many guns? - No idea.
Find a hiding place first.
- Where is safe? - Your room.
- I just left there. - So much the better. Come on.
Thank you, Bruce.
Don't mention it.
Don't move!
Don't move. Hands on your head.
We're taking over the ship.
In your dreams!
Ladies and gentlemen.
Captain Williams will now uncork the champagne
to wish you all a happy voyage.
Captain Williams, please.
It'd be nice if Ryu Saeba was here.
What's nice about him?
Is my bow tie OK?
Not bad.
- The terrorists! - Stay calm.
Why did you throw the gun away?
We meet again, pretty girl.
Did you finish him off?
- What are you doing? - Looking for food.
No food, just cigarettes. Cigarettes are bad for you!
- Have you got anything to eat? - Bubble gum.
It will have to do.
What is that?
A micro computer. It holds data on criminals from all over the world.
Input a set of his fingerprints and his data will appear, understand?
Bend over.
I'm scanning the fingerprints
of those black guys who grabbed your ass.
Ryu Saeba, nick named City Hunter - private eye.
Distinguishing features - handsome, a womaniser,
a good fighter, honest, intelligent, reliable and nice to his parents.
So it's you!
I was only playing.
That's their room. There are bound to be fingerprints.
Chen Ta-wen, an international hired gun, denied entry by 17 countries.
Wanted in the USA and an ex-member of two terrorist groups.
Right. See if there is data on any of the others.
How do you do, Mr. Chen?
Come on!
Let me introduce myself. I'm Donald, you can call me MacDonald.
We're only after money. Resistance is futile.
If you cooperate, we won't kill you. Other wise, I'll gun you all down.
I have here a list of names. If I call your name, please, come up.
I'll shoot you dead if you refuse.
OK, I'll start calling now.
Mr. Robinson.
- Don't go, don't go! - I'll be killed if I don't.
Wait here.
- What? - Brother!
We're only fighting the computer, not you.
- What are you doing? - We're playing.
Don't you know there are terrorists on board?
You're the terror.
- They're holding the passengers. - What?
- How can we get into the casino? - Take the elevator.
- I don't want to be seen. - Then take it but don't tell anyone.
Try calling the police. Then come back here. Don't run around.
OK, bye-bye.
- Now what? - Let's go and cool down.
Cool down?
An interesting game will follow.
Ladies and gentlemen, please empty your pockets of all valuables.
Put them into the man in red's bag.
Hurry up!
You, hurry up!
Now line up one behind the other.
Since you like gambling,
I'll be the banker and we'll have a little game to see who wins.
There's still someone loose, I think it's City Hunter, Ryu Saeba.
Get some men to take him alive.
Yes, sir.
There's no one around, send a message.
Take a look at this.
That's amazing!
The newly invented transmitter.
A transmitter?
I got it from the Shopping Channel. It was $500.
Don't you know what you're doing? You're dialing 1-2-3-4.
- What's 1-2-3-4? - It's a cipher.
- What? - Look up.
- What? - It's a word. Read it.
Into line!
You're the first. Please, sit down.
- Do you like baccarat? - Yes.
Good. OK, deal.
Mine's seven.
Good, seven.
Mine's nine.
Bye-bye.
Six.
I've got six too.
A tie.
Sorry, the banker has the advantage.
Next.
I won't bet. I'll die when I lose.
Be a gentleman. Take her to your room.
Get up!
Don't! Leave me alone!
Leave me be!
- Wait. - What are you doing?
I wanted to ask you if you'd like some of this tonic...
Let me play first.
Trust me.
Seven.
Let's have another game.
Over there.
You're pretty good. You've won 12 games.
Mr. MacDonald, do you want to know where Ryu Saeba is?
Ryu Saeba? You know where he is?
- Of course, I do. - Tell me and I'll spare you.
I don't know.
Go over there and distract them.
It was nothing to do with me.
Ryu Saeba! What about me?
- Stay there and don't move. - OK.
Ryu Saeba!
You're good.
They've taken Kaori. Help her.
- There's still one up there. - I'll go after her.
There's no hurry.
Let's get the mood right first.
You're great. I really like you.
So you enjoy a little rough stuff?
It's my turn.
- OK, go ahead. - Not there, here.
Fantastic.
My turn again.
- Feeling good? - Feeling fine.
I'm coming.
Kaori!
- Why are you here? - To help you.
I don't need help. We're having a good time here.
- Who's he? - I'm Ryu Saeba.
Ryu Saeba?
Ryu Saeba, I heard you're tough.
He's pretty good too.
Come on, hit him now.
How dare you hit my girlfriend!
Did he call me his girlfriend?
Ryu Saeba, what did you say just now?
Say that again.
Damn you!
Not that!
Damn you!
You were right, I am pretty tough.
Don't move!
- Don't move! - I'm not moving.
Give me a gun.
- Don't give him one. - What?
Hit me if you've got the guts.
- After her! - Yes.
We meet again, Mr. Ryu Saeba.
Damn! Drop your gun and let's fight, Colonel MacDonald.
You know who I am?
Colonel MacDonald of the US Commandos.
You're not terrorists, you're bandits.
Yes, you're right and now I'm sentencing you to death.
I want to appeal.
Appeal denied, you're to be executed before sunrise tomorrow.
Don't do it!
Where's Ryu Saeba?
None of your business.
Stop bickering. Didn't he come to help you?
Maybe he's been captured.
It's down to us now. We've got to save Ryu Saeba.
- How can we fight, with our fingers? - I have guns in my room.
He nearly killed Ryu Saeba and me just now.
We must take him by surprise.
These should help.
- Good idea. Fantastic. - Let me try first.
Cousin, go and help her fight that kid.
No problem.
I give up. Don't kill me.
Do what you like to me, I love strong men.
I'm busy right now. Call me later.
You!
I give up. I Like strong men too.
Then keep me company tonight.
Are you serious?
You smash the door down, we'll rush in.
Won't that hurt?
Not really, come on.
Come on!
Get down!
Don't move!
Hit him!
Lethal Dragon Claw!
That's really cruel.
Change into something comfortable and meet back here.
Fine.
- It's this way. - Yes, over there.
Choose your weapon.
Here, you take this.
I can't shoot.
I want this one.
It's too heavy.
Go away.
Be nice.
Why are you in pyjamas?
You said to change into something more comfortable.
One lot should save Ryu Saeba, the other, the hostages.
I'll go after Ryu Saeba.
- Cousin, let's save the hostages. - We'll get Ryu Saeba.
Ryu Saeba, today is your last day to see the sunrise.
- Don't I get any last requests? - Go on then.
I want a bowl of wan-ton noodles. I'm starving!
He must be out of his mind.
Sorry, no.
Bloody foreigners!
Ready your weapons!
Hold it!
What are you doing here?
Well, well, well, Little princess, how nice to see you.
I beg you to free Ryu Saeba. You're only after money.
My dad is the Japanese newspaper tycoon, Koji Imamura.
I'll have him give you lots of money.
How can I trust you?
You may call my dad's office. The number is 0252429.
Take it down and check it out.
Does Ryu Saeba mean that much to you?
He's the greatest man I've ever met.
We'll send news of the execution to your father in Japan.
You bastard!
Everyone, freeze!
Drop your weapons!
I'm losing my balance!
- After them! - Yes, sir!
- Catch! - I can't.
Are you OK?
Go on!
- Give me a gun! - Take it!
Take it!
Shoot him!
Am I too heavy?
You're crushing me.
Move it!
Give me the gun!
Up there!
- What? - Go on!
- How? - Run!
Go on!
Damn it, I forgot to untie the rope.
Sorry, there's nothing I can do for you.
What's wrong? Run!
The Thunderbolt Team?
You two that way, you three over there. The rest follow me.
Anybody here?
I told them not to go running around.
Why the make-up?
Untie the rope, quick!
Who's next?
We've unplugged it. Now see what you can do.
Good.
How are you?
What happened just now?
We don't know.
I know, he's dead.
No, he's still alive, look.
I wish he was dead.
Go up on deck quickly. The Thunderbolts are here.
- Let's go. - Wait.
Kaori?
- She's gone to the casino. - I'll go to the casino then.
Let's go to the casino.
Hurry!
They're over there. Hurry!
Watch out! Split up!
Get in there!
I'II try my luck.
Oh, no.
Kao Ta.
Kao Ta!
- Are you OK? - Yes.
Thanks to your ace of hearts.
The Taiwan Thunderbolts have arrived. Go up on deck with the hostages.
What about you?
I'm going to the casino to help Ryu Saeba and Kaori. Wait for me.
Yes. Let's go out together sometime.
Kaori. Kaori!
Ryu Saeba.
Watch out!
Run out of bullets again?
Never mind.
Ryu Saeba, behind!
Good team work.
Ryu Saeba!
I've waited a long time for this.
Stay where you are!
- Still holding her? - She's my weapon.
She's your girlfriend.
MacDonald, the Thunderbolts are here, you can't escape.
I'll get away in a lifeboat with you as hostages.
Let's make a deal.
If you let me go, I'll let her go too.
Don't do it. He beat my cousin up.
Where is he?
They've beaten the crap out of me.
You're in a state.
Four o’clock!
- Thank you. - These games will be the end of me.
Goodbye Ryu Saeba.
You're finished...
Please don't kill me. I've got seven kids.
- A century in jail is too short. - Make it two centuries then.
- Look at you. Grab your ears. - Grab my ears.
Say ''I'll never do it again'' 10 times.
I'll never do it again... OK?
That's what you think.
Ryu Saeba, catch!
I shouldn't have jumped.
Ryu Saeba, catch!
Over here.
Up, middle, down!
Down, up.
Right, left, right. And everywhere!
You can't get me!
You can't get me! You can't get me!
Bastard!
You can't get me!
Come on!
Goodbye, Ryu Saeba!
Ryu Saeba!
- Saeko, are you all right? - Yes, it's only a slight bruise.
- May I hold you? - Yes.
Ryu Saeba!
Kaori!
- Are you all right? - I'm hurting.
- Where? - I'm hurting all over.
Let me hold you. Any better?
Good, all safe and sound.
No, what about Kiyoko?
Where's Kiyoko?
Take care of Saeko for me.
Ryu Saeba, you're pissing me off!
- Kiyoko! - Ryu Saeba!
Kiyoko, please don't run away again.
Never.
I won't run away ever again.
I'll do what ever you say.
- Really? - Yes.
Give me some wan-ton noodles. I'm so hungry!
Ryu Saeba! Are you OK?
Mr. Ryu Saeba, I am really grateful.
Don't mention it.
Please sit down.
I want to have a word with you alone.
I'll go out for a while.
Me, too.
- Bye-bye. - Let me show you the way.
I'm not taking any phone calls.
Since her return, Kiyoko has changed. The credit is all yours, Ryu Saeba.
Not at all.
I would Like you to get closer to my daughter. Only you can tame her.
She's my only daughter and I dote on her. She's everything to me.
After my retirement, I'll leave all my assets to my son-in-law.
Kiyoko is quite good looking,
you won't turn her down.
