Once when I was a chiId [480p & 720p Movies Download | Mkvking.com]
I met four sages on the road [480p & 720p Movies Download | Mkvking.com]
Walking toward the horizon
They were an odd sight
Even to this day when westerly winds blow
I am reminded of them
I'm sick of aIl this sand!
When wiIl we get there?
I'm not going any further!
Not another step!
And I'm aIl out of water!
You said it. I'm parched.
Shut up and keep moving!
I'Il bet your head "plate" is dry, too!
What?
Never make fun of a river imp's pIate, Pigsy.
- I didn't! - l knew it was you!
- You're asking for it! - Come on, then!
Fine!
Stop it!
Our journey is not simpIy to reach lndia, you know.
Observe that bird.
lts gracefuI flight is the product of tireIess effort.
Our quest to retrieve the sutras wilI require nothing less.
Bird meat!Capture it!
Monkey!Sandy! Pigsy! Wait!
Where'd he go?
Save your energy!
My meaI has fIown off!
Look!
What the heck?
A king's burial mound?
Monkey, no!
Food offerings!
You'lI incur Buddha's wrath.
PossibIy steamed buns!
- Steamed buns? - Steamed buns!
No!Stop!
- Buns! Buns! - Give me a ride on your shouIders.
Someone's coming.
You don't think...
Buddha's wrath.
That was quick.
Run!
What's with them?
Water. You! Hand over that water!
Monkey!
Forgive us. We are but pilgrims on route to lndia.
We meant no disrespect to this sacred grave.
So give us food and water.
Please.
Hey, wait!
Just some water!
Whoa, horsy!
You're letting them go!
- So where's the wrath? - Ask him?
Perhaps l was mistaken.
- They had water. - Possibly food, too.
Bring back those horses!
- Hor...! - Hor...?
Horse!
Stop!Stop!
Where is he?
There!
- OK, move quietIy, got it? - OK.
Nice horsy!Give us water!
Just a sip!
Monkey! Pigsy!Sandy!
- Master! - You'Il scare him off.
There!
Behold!
lt can't be.
Civilisation!
MONKEY MAGlC
lt was a time when dragons stiII inhabited the skies.
A priest named Tripitaka
journeyed west in search of magicaI sutras that could
restore peace to the land.
TraveIling with him
were three mythical creatures - Monkey, Sandy and Pigsy.
Their destination? A great tempIe in India.
But awaiting the priest and his intrepid entourage...
- "Fu-chien". - "Tiger PeopIe"?
They sound fearsome.
l smelI danger. We best be carefuI.
Food!Where's the food?
FIy! Food!
My horn is cracked.
No wonder.
Who're you?
I'm Tripitaka.
I'm Sandy.
Pigsy. Meow!
Hear ye, hear ye! l am the great...
King Monkey!
You're idiots.
Want to fight about it?
Go show 'em.
Do it.
- ldiot! - Never mind.
Run away!
Excuse us, pIease.
She smelIs nice.
- Sweet. - Fruity.
Look, more impostors!
Like heck! We're the reaI thing!
Look!
"Save us Tripitaka"?
That's me.
This kingdom is looking to hire us.
That expIains those frauds.
CharIatans!
What?
Why you...!
l'm stuck!
Hey, give that back!
You shouIdn't have done that!
Knock it off, Porko!
Sorry.
l'm free!
Now I'm mad.
Look what you made me do!
Stop it! Monkey!
Stop it!
He's gone bonkers. You've no choice.
But...
You're right.
Ow, ow, ow!
You again!
l've seen enough.
A horse.
lf you're hungry, drop by my pIace.
Where's that?
Wait!Girlie!
Hey!
Could this be the place?
This ain't no home.
lt's another trick.
Some home.
Bit depressing, eh?
So where's the food?
Cut it out, Monkey.
"To a land darkened by plague he came
"bearing three beIls.
"His prayers, like swords, split open the cIouds
"and brought forth light."
This legendary figure went by the name of Tripitaka.
Hear that, Master? You're a legend.
- It's a mistake. - Yeah, but maybe they'lI feed us.
l'm no "Iegendary figure".
Yes, I present you... the Iegendary Tripitaka!
Monkey!
Then we beg your assistance.
A curse has turned our king and queen into tortoises.
An incantation by the reaI Tripitaka would restore them.
You can do that?
Of course not. Chanting isn't sorcery.
- Food! Food! - PIease hurry.
- Good luck, Master!
I can't do this.
Another impostor, l see.
But you said you'd feed us.
- We're not impostors. - You said you'd feed us!
Hold it!
Princess Reimi.
l wish to speak to them.
- But... - Leave us!
Yes.
Bad day?
You made me break my horn! Feed us!
l'lI fix the curse for food.
- Yes, Pigsy! - Go for it!
Don't be stupid. Chants can't lift curses.
But kilIing demons can.
Demons?
You're the real Tripitaka Party, right?
Fighting demons is your speciaIty.
You are mistaken.
UntiI recently,
ours was a Iand rich in water and greenery.
And then...
"they" came.
"They"?
The land withered under their feet.
With each breath they took, the water evaporated.
In a singIe day, our kingdom was turned to desert.
They Iaid a curse on my parents and usurped the throne.
Their names?
King Gold Horn and his brother, King SiIver Horn.
"King GoId Horn"?
"King Silver Horn"?
l've heard of them.
Even Hanzui the Chaos Lord fears their absoIute power.
Absolute?
You're kidding!
No one in my kingdom dares to confront them.
We used to be caIled the "Tiger PeopIe".
Now we're reduced to frightened kittens.
How awful.
They reside on Mount Garyo. lf you hurry...
- Look at the time. - Got to go.
- Nature caIls. - You're in trouble.
- WiIl you heIp? - Yes.
No!
PIease save our kingdom!
- Yes. - No!
- Thank you. - Master!
- Let us depart. - No-o-o-o!
Can't we at Ieast wait tiIl morning?
I'm their princess. They wouIdn't alIow me to go if they knew.
Why shouId we have to face such danger?
Fine. l'lI go alone.
When they see l'm gone, they'Il surely blame you.
lt'Il be the guilIotine.
- The guiIlotine? - The guiIlotine?
l Iike my head. l want to keep it.
Pipe down!
What is it?
I got dust in my eye.
Oh no! ShaIl we turn back, then?
Watch that sarcasm. l happen to be a princess, you know.
WelI, excuse me but who was it that begged us to come?
That was then. This is now.
Quite a spoiIed princess.
We're no match against demons of absoIute power.
RealIy? No match?
Banish the thought! We're certainly not "no match"!
If you defeat Gold and Silver Horn,
you'lI be the one with "absolute power".
Victory is mine!
Let's go!
How simple can one be?
To victory!
Go, go!Onward! To victory!
Demons, your end is near!
- Are you guys rowing? - Yes!Just shut up and row!
ls there something evil in this river?
ProbabIy.
Don't say that. We're sitting ducks!
Don't rock the boat!
Sorry.
Yes, be carefuI. You're escorting a princess, remember?
Sorry.
Why's she so bossy?
l said don't rock the boat!
l'm not!
Then who is?
We travel on foot from here.
Look, the mountain where Gold and Silver Horn reside.
Who's brave enough to Iead us?
That wouId be me!
Can you see the top?
The Horn brothers climb this with great ease.
Oh no, I looked.
Can't do that.
My cIothes are snagging. Don't go so fast.
My tassels are snagging!
One misstep and we're dead.
CarefuI!
You're such an idiot. Don't yelI.
I'm sorry, OK?
What's this?
ObviousIy a trap.
What are we? Morons? Who'd faIl for that?
Not us.
Bananas! My favourite!
He would.
l can't beIieve you felI for it. Stupid monkey.
WeIl, l've had it. I'm pooped.
Let's go home.
Affer just this? You guys are pathetic.
Go by yourseIf, then.
Princess Reimi?
What?
You've injured your foot.
It's just a bIister.
You're short of breath.
It's nothing.
Talk about pathetic!
You talk a good game but you're just a pampered princess.
Why don't you run on home?
No way! I'm going ahead.
But why?
Yeah, you're a princess. You belong in the palace.
I'm not afraid to die.
For something important, l'd gIadly give my life.
So if l do perish, promise me you'Il defeat those two.
We promise to deIiver you safely home to your paIace.
Yes, and save your famiIy.
We won't lose.
We'Il alI make it back aIive.
Promise?
Promise.
Thank you.
Let's move!
For now, you need to rest your feet.
l know I do.
Crazy monkey.
Isn't there anything of value in here?
It's them!
Let's rest here.
Sit here, Master.
You're very kind.
Master?
- Are you alI right? - What's wrong, Master?
Lose your seat?
What the...!
What's that?
Look out!
That was close!
Another booby trap?
- ls it returning? - Nah.
lt is.
Hurry! Faster!
Faster!
This way!
No, this way!
lt's a dead end!
Here it comes!
- We're dead. - This says "stop".
It's a trap!
We've no choice!
You're a fooI!
- But... - You'lI kilI us!
- I'm pushing it! - No!
See? Nothing. We're dead.
lt's your fault. Darn you!
lt's your fault!
We're saved.
What now?
Thank you.
Hey, do you mind?
Wow!
Monkey! Run!
Look at that arc!
Master!
I'm not done peeing yet!
l'm wetting myseIf!
Master!
Quick!
l'm stuck!
Monkey!
No!
I don't need your help, alI right?
You promised...
that we'd alI survive.
Remember?
Hold it!
Thank you.
Master!
Monkey!
What's that?
- A mushroom. - lt looks famiIiar.
- Dig it out. - OK.
Hey. Where am l?
Sandy!
Pigsy!
An entrance.
Then Iet's enter.
What is this place?
Where are we?
- What a nap! - Hibernating?
What're you two doing here, anyway?
Looking for Kings GoId and SiIver Horn.
GoId and SiIver Horn?
They're not here!
Rin-Rin!
l guess I made it.
How I missed you...
Come again?
Gold and Silver Horn aren't here.
You're kidding?
This is just one of your usual thievery schemes.
l admit l'm a thief.
But it's that princess who is scheming.
What're you doing?
Yield the morning, O Golden Sun.
Deceive the night, O Limpid Moon.
Come faithful servant of tiger and dragon.
lssue your mighty river of light.
ShaIl we go?
What was that chant?
Monkey, hurry.
Gold and Silver Horn, here I come!
Wait!
Sandy! Pigsy!
Why's she here?
We made it just in time, Master. lt's alI a trap.
Gold and Silver Horn are back at the paIace.
The paIace?
You're fuIl of it! Come on!
l saw them!
lt was them. l'm sure of it.
lf they're at the palace, why'd you bring us here?
To find a secret potion that can restore my father and mother.
- RealIy? - Wait! What potion is that?
- Um... - Can't remember?
We're wasting time!
Since this is alI a lie, I say we return to town.
We're sick of being duped.
Pigsy!
l'm sure you have your reasons for this.
But perhaps we shouId return and regroup.
No!
I haven't come this far to stop now!
Don't let her trick you with her tears.
You, shush!
What're you going to do?
None of this has anything to do with you!
So stop butting in!
Who caIled you here?
Leave! Go home!
Fine! l was just trying to help. You big jerk!
And don't come back!
- Monkey! - Let's go!
Haven't you been listening?
- We've been tricked. - So what?
- So you're an idiot! - Monkey!
l made a promise!
I made a promise to her.
That's why I'm going.
- HoId it! - Monkey!
Move!
- That's it! - You idiot!
Stop it, Monkey!
Now see here!
No, you mustn't go!
BeIieve me... l know how you feeI.
But...
I said I'm going!
Our destination is lndia. This is an unnecessary risk.
Where's the Tripitaka I know?
The reaI Tripitaka wouldn't break a promise!
- But l... - l quit!
You are no Ionger my master.
Wait! Monkey!
Master, look out!
Monkey!
We made it.
Sure is quiet.
No food stalIs?
We've got to find some grub.
Master, what's wrong?
lt's Monkey, isn't it?
Forget that fooIish monkey.
Monkey was right.
ln my obsession to reach India...
I've forgotten my true mission as a priest.
Monkey was taIking nonsense!
I mustn't leave him to face danger aIone.
Understood. We'lI find him for you.
- I'Il... - You wait here, Master.
We promise to bring him back.
Just to be safe, stay clear of the palace.
Sandy?
Be careful.
Look out!
Take cover!
Buzz off!
What is this? Demon magic?
That's coId!
What's the big idea?
lt's snow.
Snow?
You've never seen snow?
Snow, huh?
What's that, then?
What's what?
Ow.
Snow is fun!
Hey!
Snow! Snow!
Cold! CoId!
Not bad.
Dig in!
lt's not food!
There, huh?
That's the pIace?
Monkey?
Thanks for believing me.
No thanks needed.
But...
We're "puddies".
"Puddies"?
Yeah, "puddies" look out for each other.
Let's go!
No one's home.
The potion?
Yeah.
That hurt.
What're you doing?
FeeIing a draff.
What's alI the racket?
Who's there?
Grandpa?
Reimi.
"Grandpa"?
What is it?
Eat up.
l bet it's another trick.
Sorry. Just pIain porridge.
lt's about time. Thanks.
- Yum. Say, Pops? - Yes, monkey?
Your magic potion. Fork it over.
So where is it?
- I've an itch. - Don't throw it at me! Hey!
Boy, am l fulI!
Listen, tenderfoot.
Behave yourself.
OK, aIready.
I promise to behave...
Iater.
Monkeys never learn from their mistakes.
SilIy monkey. SilIy monkey.
Monkey!
Lots of guests today.
Greetings.
Why'd you come?
To fetch you.
Master's worried.
He's not my master. I quit, remember?
You're heartless!
You're beIlybutton-Iess.
Don't get insulting.
Easy, easy! Aren't we paIs?
l'm not "puddies" with a pig.
Some nerve! After aIl we've done for you!
Have you forgotten your debt to Tripitaka?
He freed you from a rock affer 500 years!
I've paid him back plenty!
l hung with you guys, fought off demons...
That's not enough!
Monkey...
we owe our Master a gratitude that can't be repaid.
He has given us...
hearts.
That can't be measured in distance.
Nor in the number of demons kilIed.
A heart can only be repaid with another heart.
Is there a probIem?
Forgive us. We have no choice.
You are...
Listen, Gramps.
What?
l'm taking Reimi back to the palace.
Hand over the potion now!
This isn't a potion.
lt's an orb.
An "orb"?
You came for this, didn't you, Reimi?
On orders of GoId and SiIver Horn.
Yes. That's correct.
Now give it to me.
What's this all about?
Why do they want the orb?
They despise sunIight.
They want to pIunge the worId into darkness.
Darkness?
Sealed under the palace by my ancestors Iies a beast...
capable of issuing a dark cloud.
Gold and Silver Horn need the orb to revive it.
But then...
The Sun wilI be blotted out.
Vegetation wilI wither. AIl life wiIl perish.
And you plan to hand them the orb?
l've no choice.
So you used us.
l have to save my mother and father!
GoId Horn.
Silver Horn.
WelI, welI, if it isn't the great Tripitaka.
My, my.
Going somewhere?
Ah, yes.
Master Tripitaka?
What?
Come, come.
Resist if you wiIl.
ln here.
Come.
Don't you care what happens to them?
You must Iet go.
It's painfuI, yes.
But you are the princess of this kingdom.
"Tiger PeopIe", indeed.
Nobody lifted a finger to help my parents.
They were aIl too afraid!
No one dared confront Gold and Silver Horn.
My peopIe aren't worth saving.
They can alI die for aIl I care!
Reimi!
Poor Reimi.
Oh, no.
Silver Horn!
l've been waiting for you!
Staff!
Release her!
Hold stilI.
Reimi.
Ah, the fabIed orb.
Nice work, Princess.
Now restore my parents.
You promised!
Did l?
BIack Wind!
Monkey! The orb!
FIying Cloud!
Watch it!
Here l come, SiIver Horn!
Yoo-hoo!
Give me that!
Get back here!
What an imbecile.
l'lI take that!
No, you don't.
Hands off!
Look out!
- Left! Left! - Left.
- Right! - Right.
- Leff again! - Left.
Where'd you learn to fIy?
Here we go.
One more.
My Ieg! Darn you!
Why you...!
Drat!
Darn you!
How much longer?
We're lost!
You're pathetic!
Ow, ow, ow!
What?
This?
It's mine!
You idiot!
Sorry! He's getting away.
Loser!
Staff!
Where is it?
Stupid monkey... See this?
I'Il make a trade. This for that balI.
You're not too bright, are you?
- Who would trade for that? - l guess I can burn it, then.
With that little...
priest inside.
Master!
Monkey!
Give me that!
Master!
Burn baby burn!
Now give me the baIl.
Master!
Master...it's hot!
Monkey, move!
Fire brigade!
Master!
Let me see.
He Iooks OK.
How do you get in there? TelI me!
Just answer when your name is caIled.
Gotcha!
Say my name.
You sure?
Yes, hurry!
Go!
King Monkey!
Yes!
Master!
Wake up! Open your eyes!
Master!
Master...
Master!
Forgive me.
Forgive me!
l'm sorry, Master.
Monkey?
Master!
You're safe. I'm so glad.
Yeah, I'm OK.
And so are you.
So are you!
You came to save me.
WeIl, of course!
I'm your number one discipIe.
Yes.
AlI right! Let's get out of here!
Yes.
Don't telI me...
How do we get out?
You came in without a plan?
l didn't have time.
Hey, geezer! GirI thief!
Monkey!
What?
CarefuI, you kIutz!
Lower a rope or something in here!
A rope?
- From where? - A rope?
Found one.
Where?
Here it comes!
Lower! Lower!
Hurry!
OK! Good!
Grab on, Master.
This reeks.
Ouch!
lt hurts!
PulI us up, old man!
l'm trying, you dumb ape!
Rin-Rin!
Ow. You OK, Master?
Monkey! Tripitaka!
My beard!
You fooI!
Don't look.
Don't look!
Pooh!
Master!
Sandy! Pigsy!
Are we gIad to see you!
You're safe.
Yes.
- I should've leff you in there. - Shut up!
Gramps!
We have to stop Reimi.
She's gone to face the Horn brothers aIone.
Master!
My brother!
Oh, no.
- Move aside. - Proceed no further!
We're ruIed by GoId and SiIver Horn.
- Tough! - You can Iive with that?
Cowards!
Quiet!
If you value your Iife.
Hail the Horn Kings!
Banish the rebels!
Fine, but you'Il be sorry.
Stop!
Master, stand back!
- Leave! - Master!
Don't fight them.
Let us pass.
I'Il kiIl you.
You don't understand.
We have no choice. We must obey or die.
Then you are already dead.
Inaction is the same as death.
Having breath is not the same as having life.
Nor is life limited to a beating heart.
To live...is to struggle.
What do you know of struggle? You're a priest!
A father's struggle to tiIl the land and feed his family.
A mother's struggIe to give birth to a child.
The struggle of chiIdren to pIease their parents.
But we cannot defeat Gold and Silver Horn.
Defeat does not mean losing.
Running away is Iosing.
FaiIing to confront your fear is Iosing.
We must fight if we want to live.
Just words!
Let them pass!
King Ryusei!
Let them pass.
No!
This is no Ionger your kingdom! That kingdom is gone!
What did they caIl us?
Cats? Pigeons?
Dogs with wagging tails?
No.
We're "Tiger People"!
Tigers answer to no one! Tigers don't give up!
We are tiger peopIe, taIl and proud.
We are direct descendants of fearIess peopIe.
Am l not right, Captain?
Here they come.
Leave them to us! Hurry!
Charge!
Stand your ground!
Soon this worId wilI be cloaked in darkness.
And it wilI be ours.
Return the orb.
Have you lost your senses?
Stand down.
Don't you care what happens to your sovereigns?
Put down your weapon.
Not another step!
l was mistaken.
l'm supposed to defend my country.
At the cost of your famiIy?
They would understand.
My father...and my mother.
They'd understand!
Beg for mercy.
Your courage...
is irritating.
Die!
Who goes there?
I should've guessed.
Monkey.
Sorry we're late.
Gold and Silver Horn!
How dare you insuIt the princess!
The peopIe have rebelIed!
Nobody fears you any longer.
What?
Why do you fight for me?
- l'm ashamed. - Have you forgotten, siIly princess?
We made a promise!
And I swear to honour it.
Otherwise, it isn't a promise, is it?
Enough of your gibberish!
You'Il alI be dead soon.
- Quick! Save your parents! - OK.
Halt!
- l'lI be right back. - Princess!
Tripitaka!
Here!
Missed!
Damn you!
Watch it!
Come on!
Show yourseIf!
Come out and fight Iike a beast!
You pig!
Some heIp that is!
Sorry.
Where'd he go?
Gotcha!
Look here! Our prisoner!
My brother.
Princess Reimi!
Master!
- Monkey! - Stop!
PIease, Monkey...
save my people.
GoId Horn!
King Monkey...
would you be my little brother?
What a waste to Iet humans ruIe this world.
Together...
this world could be ours.
You're insane.
Humans are weak.
They huddIe in masses...
harbour faIse hopes.
EnsIaved by their emotions...
they whimper in their fear.
Such weakIings aren't worthy of this worId.
They're powerless creatures. Lower than maggots!
You're wrong!
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
l grant you humans are smaIl and weak.
They moan at dust in their eyes.
Get bIisters on their feet.
Have weak, spindly limbs.
They're vain and arrogant.
But despite alI that...
they have one incredibIe skilI.
They can join together.
And be best "puddies".
That creates courage.
IndividuaIly, they're weak. But together...
they can move mountains!
When you're lost, their voices can find you.
The bravest in this worId...
are those with friends!
As long as you have friends, you can't be beaten!
God or Buddha may put up with someone like you!
But l won't!
So it's your choice! WilI it be heaven or heIl?
HeIl is where you're going!
Listen up! Behold the Monkey...!
Monkey!
Hold your ceIebrations!
Look!
What'lI we do?
My Flying CIoud!
You'lI be pulverised!
For sure!
We'Il see about that! FIy!
Monkey!
Use this!
Trap the dragon in it.
Great idea!
Hurry!
- Monkey! - What're you doing?
Hurry!
Does anyone know...
its name?
Oh, come on!
Let me heIp.
Reimi!
You know its name?
I'm the princess, aren't I?
Don't be so vain.
OK.
Damoron!
lt's working!
Monkey!
Don't Iet go!
l can't hoId on any Ionger!
- Don't be a wimp! - l'lI try!
Pigsy!
Don't Iet go!
The Iid! The Iid!
Got it!
We did it.
The pain, Master. The pain.
l can't stand it.
The pain...
l'm finished.
Monkey.
Listen up! BehoId the Monkey King!
"He came from the east, bearing three belIs.
"His prayers, like swords
"spIit open the clouds and brought forth light.
You are the Iegendary heroes after aIl.
- Oh weIl... - He's not speaking of you.
He's talking about Master.
What's with the fancy threads?
- Bow down. - You insult the princess!
No, no. lt is you to whom we should bow.
Now l can live in peace.
WiIl you return to the hilIs?
That suits me best.
Whatever you say, Father.
Tripitaka...
Monkey, Sandy and Pigsy...
thank you.
Ah, it was nothing.
We must reward you.
We have already received our reward.
Right, Monkey? Sandy? Pigsy?
Right.
The smile...
on alI your faces.
"FareweIl."
TiIl we meet again.
King Monkey!
"Your smile is our reward"?
