  • Warriors Journey Dialogue

    In Warrior's Journey, it is verbally stated that Inosanto THROWS his sticks down on purpose while fighting Chieh.

    The three remaining men are now on the third floor. Chieh Yuan has been defeated and James is getting it pretty bad when Bruce comes up. Once Bruce (Hai Tien) interrupts the Inosanto/Tien fight the two adversaries face off.

    Bruce: Do you speak any English???

    Inosanto: Of course I speak English.

    Bruce: I hope you don't mind if we move our man so the two of us have room to groove.

    Inosanto (shrugs): But, have your men stay as far away from the stair way as possible.

    James moves to get Chieh and walks with him to Bruce. Inosanto spins the sticks. Bruce hands James the nunchackus and gestures him back. Inosanto beats the sticks again. Bruce lifts up his bamboo rod.

    Bruce: You know baby, this bamboo is longer, more flexible and very much alive. And when your flashy routine cannot keep up with the speed and elusiveness with this thing here, all I can say is that you will be in deep trouble.

    Inosanto beats his sticks again.

    Inosanto: That we will have to find out.

    Bruce taps his bamboo, smiles. The main fight begins. Bruce stops again.

    Bruce: I am telling you it is difficult to have a rehearsed routine to fit in with (beats whip on his own chest) broken rhythm.

    The fight continues some more. Bruce is getting the upper hand.

    Bruce: You see, rehearsed routine lacks the flexibility to adapt.

    Bruce gets one of Inosanto's sticks and throws it.

    Here is a line where we have missing dialogue from Bruce and is subtitled "Missing Dialogue".

    Inosanto throws his stick and gets his nunchaku. Bruce calls over for James for his nunchakus but gets it from Chieh instead.

    He spins the nunchakus.

    Bruce: Surprised???

    They fight with the nunchakus. Bruce licks the nunchakus and hits Dan. (In GOD 78 where Bruce spins the nunchakus over his head and hits it, this is cut before he hits himself) Inosanto hits Bruce.

    Inosanto: How do you like that?

    Bruce hits him back.

    Bruce: How do YOU like that???

    They fight for a bit, then Bruce kicks him. Inosanto goes after Bruce while he's on the floor with his nunchakus. Bruce kicks Inosanto down again and chokes him out. He motions for the other two to go up, but James makes Bruce go up before him.

    On the next level, they all see Chi who climbs out of the bed and turns on the red light.

    Chi: As you gentlemen know, red means danger. Therefore, I advise to you not to step into this warning arena if you want to go on living. Stop here and go down stairs. Life is precious.

    Chieh charges first and gets tossed around.

    James jumps in not too long after (Bruce reluctantly gives him the okay) and fairs no better. Bruce steps in and begins to get in the shots.

    While they fight, James looks up to the next level and gets a devious smile. He moves to Chieh.

    James (In Chinese): You are my brother. I will let you do the first deed of merit. You go ahead. I wish you success.

    Chieh: Yes, thankyou.

    Chieh moves behind Bruce who tries to stop him.

    Chieh: I'm going up.

    Chieh goes up and within 15 seconds comes flying down the stairs. James tries to go up a moment after and gets tossed around again by Chi. There are a couple comical moments with he and Bruce until James moves upstairs.

    James spots Jabbar in his chair and moves to confront him. Jabbar removes the blue robe and throws a kick, hitting the punching bag. The fight is on, it's intercut between the two fights.

    Bruce sees the dust from the fight above and tries harder to defeat Chi.

    James upstairs begins to scream Bruce's name. Below, Bruce defeats Chi and comes up just as James hits the ground. Jabbar sits and as Bruce attacks, he kicks him. The two begin fighting, Bruce eventually getting Jabbar in an ankle lock that he can't finish because of Jabbar's strength.

    Bruce thinks to himself in Chinese while sizing up Kareem This is during the shot where Kareem's hands are up in front of the camera, framing Bruce in the shot)

    Thought: His big advantage is that he gives no thought to life or death. And with no distracting thoughts, he is therefore free to concentrate on fighting against the attack from outside.

    The two fight again for a few moments before Jabbar turns to Bruce and speaks.

    Jabbar: Little fellow, you must have given up the hope of living.

    Bruce: Uh uh. On the contrary I do not let the word death bother me.

    Jabbar: Same here, baby

    Bruce: Then what are you waiting for.

    They fight on. Bruce gets flipped onto the broken vase, almost ending it right there. But, Bruce begins to take charge, getting in more hits. It is here that he ponders again:

    Thought: With his great size, he is going to find it difficult to keep getting up each time I knock him down.

    Bruce re-evaluates Jabbar here and has the strangest line in the whole thing:

    Bruce: Look at him. Give him the fatigue bombing.

    At one point, light comes through the wall and you can see it distracts Jabbar.

    Bruce's thought: I am so tired. No, no. Hai Tien, he must be much more tired than you. Calm down your soul.

    Jabbar's thought: This tough son of a gun is wearing me out!!!

    Bruce sees that Jabbar is hurt by the light and pops open the windows.

    He kicks off the glasses where we see Jabbar's red lizard eyes for the first time.

    Bruce chases Jabbar around the stairwell and then shrugs.

    Bruce: Why continue??? Just let me pass.

    Kareem: You have forgotten that I too am not afraid of death.

    It is at this point that Bruce chokes out Jabbar and finishes him. Slowly, Bruce walks over to the window and yells outside.

    Bruce: Come on up!!!

    A voice responds.

    Voice: Is it safe???

    Bruce: Yes!!!

    Voice: Your job is done. Come down.

    Bruce staggers down to Inosantos floor where he yells again:

    Bruce: Help me!!!

    Voice: Hurry down!!!

    This is where Bruce shrugs and goes down the remaining stairs, and the film fades out.

    Japanese G.o.D dialogue

    The differences between WJ and the Japanese version have been underlined.

    The three remaining men are now on the third floor. Chieh Yuan (simple minded) has been defeated and James (the devious one) is getting it pretty bad when Lee comes up. Once Bruce (Hai Tien) interupts the Inosanto/Tien fight the two adversaries face off.

    Bruce: Do you speak any English

    Dan: Of course I speak English.

    Bruce: I hope you don't mind if we move our man so the two of us have room to groove.

    Dan (shrugs): But, have your men stay as far away from the stairway as possible.

    James moves to get Chieh and walks with him to Bruce. Dan spins the sticks. Bruce hands James the nunchackus and gestures him back. Dan beats the sticks again. Bruce lifts up his bamboo rod.

    Bruce: You know baby, this bamboo is longer, more flexible and very much alive. When your flashy routine cannot keep up with the speed and elusiveness with this thing here, All I can say is you're gonna be in deep trouble.

    Dan beats his sticks again.

    Dan: That we will have to find out.

    Bruce taps his bamboo, smiles. The main fight begins. Bruce stops again.

    Bruce: I'm telling you it is difficult to have a rehearsed routine to fit in with (beats whip on his own chest) our own broken rhythm.

    The fight continues some more. Bruce is getting the upper hand.

    Bruce: See, rehearsed routine lacks the flexibility to adapt.

    Bruce gets one of Dan Inosanto's sticks and throws it.

    Bruce: Do you understand? This bamboo becomes a sword.

    Dan throws his stick and gets his nunchaku. Bruce calls over for James for his nunchakus but gets it from Chieh instead.

    He spins the nunchakus.

    Bruce: Surprised?

    They fight with the nunchakus. Bruce licks the nunchakus and hits Dan. Dan hits Bruce in the mouth.

    Dan: How'd you like that?

    Bruce hits him back in the mouth.

    Bruce: How do you like that?

    They fight for a bit, then Bruce kicks him. Dan goes after Bruce while he's on the floor with his nunchakus. Bruce kicks Dan down again and chokes him out. He motions for the other two to go up, but James makes Bruce go up before him.

    On the next level, they all see Jae who climbs out of the bed and turns on the red light.

    Jae: Those weapons throw them down the stair way.........you do not need to use kind of things here.

    Chieh charges first and gets tossed around.

    Jae: laughs

    James jumps in not too long after (Bruce reluctantly gives him the okay) and fairs no better. Bruce steps in and begins to get in the shots. While they fight, James looks up to the next level and gets a devious smile. he moves to Chieh.

    James: Chieh I think you better go up and leave him to us....so hurry up huh.

    Chieh: (agrees in Chinese)

    Chieh moves behind Bruce who tries to stop him.

    Chieh: I go first.

    Chieh goes up and within 15 seconds comes flying down the stairs. James tries to go up a moment after and gets tossed around again by Jae. There are a couple comical moments with he and Bruce until James moves upstairs.

    He spots Kareem in his chair and moves to confront him. Kareem removes the blue robe and throws a kick, hitting the punching bag. The fight is on! We intercut between the two fights. Bruce sees the dust from the fight above and tries harder to defeat Jae.

    James upstairs begins say: Help, Help me, HELP MEEEE!!!!!

    Below, Bruce here's James screaming and looks up but, then continues to fight Jae. Then defeats Jae.

    He comes up just as James hits the ground.

    Kareem sits and as Bruce attacks, he kicks him. The two begin fighting, Bruce eventually getting Kareem in an ankle lock.

    That he can't finish because of Kareem's strength.

    The two fight again for a few moments before Kareem turns to Bruce and speaks.

    Kareem: You're willing to rush? Whatever are you trying to prove?

    Bruce: I am thinking that I'm a bigger man than you will ever be.

    Kareem: Ready to Rumble?

    Bruce: What are you waiting for.

    They fight on. Bruce gets flipped onto the broken vase, almost ending it right there. But, Bruce begins to take charge, getting in more hits. It is here that he ponders again:

    Bruce reavluates Kareem here at one point, light comes through the wall and you can see it distracts Kareem.

    Bruce sees that Kareem is hurt by the light and pops open the windows.

    He kicks off the glasses where we see Kareem's eyes for the first time. Bruce chases Kareem around the stairwell and then shrugs.

    Bruce: What are you going to do? Please let me pass.

    Kareem: I can't let you pass I do, even if my eyes are broken in death.

    It is at this point that Bruce chokes out Kareem and finishes him. Slowly,

    Bruce walks over to the window and yells outside.

    Bruce: The Game is over!

    A voice responds.

    Voice: The Game is not over yet. You still have to fight outside.

    Bruce: I can't!!

    Voice: Hurry up! The enemies are still waiting for you to fight.

    Bruce staggers down to Inosantos floor where he punches 2 holes in the wall and yells, "What now!!!"

    Voice: The Game is not over, until we die!

    This is where Bruce shrugs and goes down the remaining stairs, and the film fades out.

    Narrator says: The action scenes of the pagoda is all edited before the day Bruce died. So he can show the world once again, he is the greatest.

    This will no doubt be the greatest documentary to date.
