Haul ass!

Get the hell out of here!

Move out!

Get your asses out of that truck for Christ's sake.

You motherfuckers.

Get that truck moving.

Dr. Winston, Major,

your men are here.

Two hours late, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

I lost nine men about three miles up the road, sir.

Ten hut.

Okay you guys, here comes Big Brother.

Oh, I forgot to salute, Matt.

Hut, hut.

Well, I didn't know you were going to show up

looking like a bunch of freaks.

Now, wait a minute, man,

look, you hired scooter trash for this job,

that's what you've got.

What'd you expect, a bunch of campfire girls?

I guess not.

How are you?

Fine, what do you say Matt?

Matt, let me introduce you to these freaks.

This here's Limpy.

Hi man.

This is Duke.

Speed.

Dirty Denny.

Fellas.

This is Captain Jackson, my brother Link,

Sergeant Winston,

he's going to be your bodyguard while you're here.

All right, knock it off.

Sergeant, secure the transportation.

Yes, sir.

Come on, I got to show you something.

Duke.

Hey Denny,

you dig on that Captain Midnight, man?

He's so uptight he squeaks.

Objectives here, Dang Huk,

it's two miles into Cambodia,

it's a small village,

maybe some Chinese troops,

maybe some VC.

It's neutral,

we can't go in there, but you can,

and if anybody catches you,

we never heard of you.

But the CIA wants to get their man out of there.

Now,

Chet Davis is in one of these three huts,

we don't know which one.

There's two small trails leading into here,

that's why you need the bikes,

speed's all you've got going for you.

Fast in,

out faster.

This could really be a bummer man, huh?

Yeah.

Every VC for a hundred miles

is going to be trying to stop you

from bringing Chet Davis out of there.

We'll get him.

Say Duke, you and Denny are both vets,

you know what it's like out here,

what made you take this assignment?

The money.

The money.

The bread, man.

I'm a full-blooded American boy, Captain,

a good citizen and all that crap.

That's what we're going to find out, isn't it?

I certainly hope so.

It's a Yamaha, man,

this is a broad's bike.

You ever try and ride a chopper in the dirt, Limpy?

Hey man,

if I'm going to be driving a broad's bike,

I want the gold one.

I saw it first, Beulah.

No, man.

Tell you what,

we'll flip for it.

Heads I win, tails you lose.

Call it.

Heads.

You lose, baby.

Get off that momma.

Speed,

don't mess with that bike, that's mine.

Hey Holmes,

you coming all the way to Loc Sai with us man?

All the way, night and day.

Ah, Christ.

All right, all you big, bad motorcycle bums

start checking these out

cause they aren't Harleys,

and I would sure hate to see

any of you big bad asses

get dumped on a broad's bike, huh?

Sure, man.

I'm afraid we'll never make soldiers out of them, Major.

Don't have to.

Captain?

Cover's here, sir.

Be right there, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

All right men, what it is,

that's my truck there,

stay close behind me all the way.

We don't expect any trouble

but if we run into it,

take cover,

and let us do the fighting.

Do I make myself clear?

We wouldn't have it any other way, Captain.

Now, about the bikes,

they've got to be weapons on wheels.

Jack's going to give you everything you need.

Okay, Matt.

Now, I know how you feel about Chet Davis,

but just bring him back alive.

Hang in, Matt.

Yahaaa!

Hey, you silly cunt,

I said stay behind.

Get back where you belong!

Damn hog heads,

I knew this would happen.

Just as soon as we get to Loc Sai,

their ass is grass.

Hey, you guys,

these kids think I'm Tarzan.

Hey, youu Jane?

You don't look like Jane,

you look like Cheetah.

Here Cheetah, you better have a gook taco.

Hey Tarzan, Cheetah won't eat.

Let's move out, move out.

Let's go.

Hey, pal.

Hey pal,

come on

Hey,

Shit!

Rock and roll.

Woo-hoo, it's New Year's Eve, man.

Come on.

Go around them, let's go.

Get it on.

Hey!

Kimbo!

Kimbo!

Nan!

Nan!

Look, you and the squad go East,

I'll catch up with you later.

Yes, sir.

Ah, good morning, Captain.

Morning.

First drink on the house, okay?

No thanks.

No?

Maybe you want a girl, huh?

No, I want a guy.

A guy?

Okay.

Uh, you don't understand.

I'm looking for the guy

that owns that motorcycle out there on the street,

an American.

The kids are stripping his bike down,

I just thought he might like to know.

Look Captain, you want a drink, I give you.

Maybe you want a girl, huh?

No thanks.

Maybe smoke, huh?

Do you mind if I just kind of look around?

Okay, suit yourself.

You must keep it hot,

take the smoke,

deep inside you.

Hey Joe,

hashish,

opium,

what have you got to trade?

What you give, huh?

I'll give you a couple of broken arms

if I didn't have more important things to do.

Denny.

Link.

Link.

Speed.

Very cheap, Joe,

You get good price.

How about cocaine?

Cannabis?

Heroin?

Love you.

Love you.

Come here, baby.

I've got to get a drink.

Hello, Nursey.

Well, now,

Dirty Denny.

Welcome to my place.

Your place?

I used to own a piece of the action of this joint

until I busted out of the Army.

The others here with you?

Man, who cares,

I know where I'm at.

You were suppose to follow close behind.

Yeah man, you see, but uh,

I uh, zipped out of town so fast

when I got busted out of the Army

that I didn't get a chance to collect any of the bread that was owed me.

I decided to zip on back in town

and collect what was due me.

Down the street there's an old, beat-up garage,

that's where you'll be fixing up the bikes.

Man, I don't need no stinking bikes right now,

you've got to be putting me on.

That's good, Denny,

cause you don't got one.

Huh?

When I came in here,

the kids had the wheels off of it.

I'll kill them!

I'll kill them slope heads!

Get out of the way!

Watch out you old bitch!

Get out of there you thieving slope heads

before I kill you!

Bastards.

Get away from me lady.

Lady get away from me.

Shit.

So you want to play, huh?

Steal my bike.

Steal my bike.

Get off of me.

Look, you ever come around here again

I'll kill you.

Had you figured all wrong, Captain.

You're not a bad spook after all.

From now on when I say follow behind,

that's what I want you to do.

Okay Captain, sir.

Coffee, I got good price for coffee.

Well what's the deal?

One pound American coffee,

one bottle beer.

Listen you little weasel,

we give you one pound of American coffee,

you give us a six-pack of beer

and you throw in the spark plugs

just cause you love us.

Sounds like number one deal.

I'll take it.

Hello Charlie,

my favorite, thieving slope head.

Trying to cheat my friends?

Please excuse, gentlemen.

What the hell happened to you, man?

Ran into a water buffalo

and the super spook bailed me out.

Where's Duke?

Ah, he's sitting on the john, man,

singing the Stars and Stripes.

Look, I don't suppose it'll do any good

to talk you men about disobeying orders,

but the last thing I told you

was to stay close behind.

You could've gotten your fool heads blown off.

We didn't, did we, man?

No.

Major Thomas has done a good job setting this thing up,

I want you to see the rest.

Just hang loose.

Me Diem-Nuc.

Number one mechanic,

number one garage.

He's suppose to be on our side.

I don't care whose side he's on,

I want to know if he knows what he's doing.

What do you say, Nookie?

Look man, we're gonna put together some motorcycles here,

and we need some parts.

Spark plugs,

one quarter-inch steel plate,

some two-inch steel strapping.

Hey man, are you with me?

With?

I mean, like can you dig it?

Dig?

Do you understand what the hell I'm talking about?

Yes, I can dig.

Did you ever work on two cycle engines.

Yes.

What kind?

Cadillac.

Come here, Dim Nook.

Yes?

Where'd you get all this equipment?

From my friend.

Who?

He good man, the Albanian.

Albanian?

You keep him away from here,

I don't want anyone around,

you understand?

Well, I mean, with this crazy mechanic

and this knocked-out garage man,

Limpy ought to be able to come up with something in here.

Anything you don't have here, we'll get.

Time is very important in this operation, Lincoln.

I hope we won't have to wait too long

to get these bikes fixed up.

If you're waiting on the bikes, man,

you're backing up.

Chet Davis is waiting.

Glad I'm not in his boots.

Let me tell you something about Chet Davis

and his boots,

he used those boots for stomping on people

like you and me.

I guess you wouldn't know much about that,

would you, Captain?

I mean, those bars beat you out a lot, don't they?

That's right,

they make you colorless.

You really believe that, man?

Yeah man, I believe it.

It's me, Duke.

Duke, oh.

Suriya, where?

Suriya!

It's me, Duke!

Suriya.

Oh Duke,

it's been so long.

So long.

Much to long.

So very long.

Life has so much to offer to the Young

but when love can't be for everyone

then we're Losers,

Losers,

blinded by the sun.

How will we ever find our way.

How will we ever find our way.

Time is a treasure

that's what I've been told

but soon we're young and growing old

become Losers

Losers

Lost out in the cold

How will we ever find our way.

How will we ever find our way.

Love is a Flower

that needs peace to grow

but if shades of fear are all we know

then we're Losers

Losers

Nowhere else to go.

Tomorrow we'll get out of here.

I'm taking you back with me to the States.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

I had a tough time finding you

and I ain't gonna lose you now.

My father,

Cong killed him.

My uncle Duc-Wan,

take care of me now.

And your kid brother?

He no kid no more,

he fight now.

Fight, get Cong.

I must...

Duke...

I cannot go before I see him,

my brother.

We wait two, three days,

he come back.

All right, I'll wait a couple more days,

as long as I know where you are.

I didn't even know if you were still alive.

Let's get some sleep now.

Good night.

Duc-Wan?

Okay.

I'll see you in a couple of days.

I'm going to have to get you a new dress,

I can't take you home with me looking like that.

How long is this trip going to last?

About five days.

Does it matter?

No, it doesn't matter a damn bit.

All right, Denny,

this is a Swedish 9 millimeter machine gun,

clip release,

clip holds 40 rounds.

Shove it in,

pull back the receiver hammer,

pull the trigger,

that's all there is to it.

Got it?

Yeah, I got it.

We're gonna mount the machine gun up here.

Get over and see that we've got saddle bags

filled with grenades.

Made so when we jerk them out the pin comes out

and we flip them over our shoulders.

I can see right now,

no one's going to be safe within a mile of you.

That's the general idea Captain.

If I'm wanted I'll be in ordinance.

Yes sir.

Ah, screw this,

I need a drink.

Come on, Limpy.

Yeah, man.

Hey Buckwell.

What?

We're gettin' a beer, man.

Hey uh, you coming?

No, man, I'm going to hang in here, all right?

All right.

Them guys aren't going to bust their ass working, are they?

There's a lot more important things than working.

Now, what the hell is driving you?

Chet Davis?

Do you really believe

that this broad would steal money from me

after everything I've done for her?

Yeah, I'd believe.

And if you ever steal from me again

you slant-eyed witch,

I'll really bust your head in.

Where'd you think you're going?

I'm going to do something you can't do for me.

Sweet little Lady

painted up in rouge

got to get some Love tonight

I got some Money to lose.

Sweet little lady,

you sure know how to

make a man feel good.

I've come a long way

now let me see you smile.

Come on over close to me

you know I 'm gonna stay a while

sweet little lady

you sure know how to

make a man feel good.

Hello.

Hello.

You speak English?

Yes.

Where'd you learn how to speak English?

From a friend.

Is he still around?

No.

That's a blessing.

I'll bet the boys stand in line for you, huh?

Let me be your daddy.

I'll keep you home tonight.

So pour another drink for me

and just turn off the light.

Sweet little lady

you sure know how to

make a man feel good.

Sweet little lady

you sure know how to

make a man feel good.

The price is fifty bucks kid.

Push off.

Hey Speed.

Speed.

If the action keeps up the way it's going, baby,

we're going to be rich in a couple of days.

You're beautiful.

You like me?

Really?

I like you, really.

And now that we got that out of the way,

what's your name?

Kim Sue.

I'm Limpy,

do you know what that means?

Limp, limp, limp. Limp,

that's what it means.

Christ, you got a kid in here?

Oh, my baby.

Well, where else would she be but with me?

Christ, you've got a kid in here.

It's a nigger baby.

One of the black men,

a soldier?

A black man, an officer.

He was a good man,

a good soldier,

only he don't need me no more,

so here I am.

So, you've been left out in the cold, baby?

Well, me too, sort of.

Hey baby,

you don't do anything nasty like smoking dope, do you?

Come on, give me a little lip lock.

Come on, come on...

What the hell was that?

Police.

COps?

Great joy.

My God, here comes a host of Mounties.

He stole my money,

he did.

What is this?

Do something.

Okay, I'll take that loot, G.l.

I'm no G.l., pig.

I said give me the money, freak.

He's a short little spatter, isn't he?

Take that, you bastards.

Whoop him, Den, get it on him.

Aaaah, ha, ha, ha.

Aaaah!

Aaaah, ha, ha, ha.

Aaaah!

You want it,

come and get it.

Ha, ha.

I'll blow your brains out.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Nobody's going to get my bread.

Hold it.

Limpy!

What the hell are you looking at?

Get us out of here.

Shut up.

Now, lwst had a long talk with the inspector here,

you've got seven years,

and believe me, they'll make these charges stick.

Assaulting a police officer,

battery,

theft,

malicious mischief,

you name it and you got it.

All right.

Animal.

You damn Vietnamese pig.

Denny, you really know how to make friends.

A Pig's a Pig, man.

So, what do I got to do to get out of this jail?

What kind of deal do I got to make?

I'll tell you what the deal is,

the Captain bails you out

and you agree to his terms.

What terms?

I want your word

you'll do your damn job you're suppose to do

and that's all.

You got it.

Sergeant Link, of the American Link and Sausage Company,

I have for you one case of American beer

and one pencil neck geek.

Good afternoon,

one hundred six packs of American beer,

one box of spark plugs.

Number one deal.

Tell your men to take the rest of that beer

and put it over in the shed.

Now, you get out of here you little weasel.

Thank you, very much.

Righteous, man, righteous.

Our Nobbies are here,

let's get these suckers on.

Uh-uh,

I'm going to mama-san's

and get myself a chick.

Denny,

Denny, I mean, you've got to be the dumbest guy

I ever met in my life, man.

Denny, mama-san's the one that turned you in.

Yeah, I know, but I figure,

I can let her know who the boss is.

Don't go to mama-san's.

Take it easy, Denny.

Oooh!

Hey.

Thanks, man.

It hurts.

Oh.

Out of sight man,

out of sight.

Here's a little something for your head.

Everything loaded?

What about the ammo?

Yes sir, it's all loaded.

I guess we're ready.

An)' Problems?

Yeah, you.

Where's Duke?

Duke,

you got any problems?

All right,

just one thing before we go,

good luck.

Shit.

Kim Nook.

Get it on.

Hey, Soldier,

take these and put them with the bike, huh?

No wonder we're losing the lousy war.

Well, what the hell is that?

Ask him.

What the hell is that?

She's coming with me.

Limpy, are you out of your goddamn mind?

Link.

Oh come on, man.

Link.

All right, Diem-Nuc

here's a little something from your Uncle Sam

and remember,

if anyone asks you anything about us,

you don't know anything,

you understand?

Yes, sir.

Captain.

Captain.

You greatest of friends.

Sergeant.

This isn't bad man, huh.

Where the hell you going?

Don't worry, man,

I'll catch up.

I'll be there as soon as you are.

Get back here,

you stupid bastard.

Come on, move,

all along that perimeter.

You men get over there and form a line on the perimeter.

Where's Duke?

He dropped off a ways back there.

Who gave him permission?

Idid.

Damn.

Look Captain,

he's going to be here in a little while.

If one man drops out,

it puts the whole operation in jeopardy,

can't you understand that?

Yeah, I know that, Captain,

just about as well as you do.

What the hell are you doing with that broad with you here?

Not a broad, Captain,

that's my girl

Now we've got a camp here

and they can stay here

and then we'll pick them up when it's all over.

Don't sweat it.

Besides, a couple of female types around here

ain't going to hurt at all.

Hi Matt.

Link,

how'd it go?

What's that?

The bikes.

Come on over here, I want to show you something.

Hello, Kim Sue.

Hello.

Is that your man, now?

Well, is it?

You better go along with him.

Well, what do you think, Matt?

You did one hell of a job.

Thanks, man.

What the hell is that?

What do you mean what the hell is that?

Christ, anybody could see it's a hog wagon.

That's a genuine gook flattener.

Man, you just roll over them,

flatten them out,

dry them,

sail 'em on.

Now, you see what it really is,

it's half Harley

and half Volkswagen.

It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

All right little brother, you go on home.

Okay now, baby,

let's you and I go take a bath.

It's like the old days, Duke.

What is it, Duke?

Just a question of loyalty,

and if so, who to?

It all comes down to that.

Link or you.

It's that simple, isn't it?

I don't understand.

Just love me.

The baby Okay?

Yeah.

You know, this is just like being married,

you come home to your little woman,

you turn on the television,

drink some beer.

How's my little woman?

All right.

Seventy yards past the second building, here,

I turn left

and straight through.

You just went through the side of the warehouse.

Oh, okay.

Okay, I should've turned right here,

through here.

Here,

that's the Southeastern munition dump, right here.

You're sure?

Sure, man.

Good.

All right, now which one is Davis in?

One of these three here,

here,

and right here.

All right, open your eyes.

Hey, I did it man,

I'm a good man.

All right, Limpy,

Link and Duke are going to hit there,

where are you at that moment?

Edge of the village, right here,

rockets ready for anything that comes into sight.

Speed?

Yeah, man.

I lay over there at the gasoline dump

and drop in a couple grenades.

Denny?

Denny!

You sure drive hard, don't you?

I know where I'm suppose to be.

Are you sure, Duke?

Are you sure?

I'm sure, baby.

Oh Duke, I'm frightened.

Frightened?

With me around you don't have to be scared anymore.

Okay, let's make it.

Rotten son of a bitch.

Don't worry about it,

he'll be there,

right?

Now, what the hell would he want to do

a stupid thing like that for?

I guess he just wanted to live a little.

All right you guys,

let's get on our bikes and go to work.

Okay, it's all set up,

at 0500 hours you roll the bikes into position

and a mock battle starts.

There will be a battery of tanks out there

to give you cover fire.

That's about it.

Oh, yeah,

Captain Jackson and Sergeant Winston

will be with you all the way to the boarder.

Any questions?

Okay, that's it.

Get some sleep.

See you in the morning.

I thought we might need these.

Speed.

Hey thanks, baby.

Denny.

Limpy?

Link.

That's groovy, man.

What time is it, Speed?

0455.

Lieutenant Hayworth,

move your units into position.

Well, we've been through this thing enough

to know it, I guess, huh?

Might as well get it done.

Limpy, the one thing you've got to remember, man,

when you go in there with that hog wagon

you've got raise hell.

When I hit those bastards

they're going to know it's me, Link.

Commence firing.

I'll hit the trench,

you cover me.

You got it.

You slant-eyed son of a bitch.

Link, on the roof.

He's got me pinned down, Link.

I can't get to my bike.

That son of a bitch.

Okay baby, I'm with ya.

Come on you gook.

Those son of a bitches.

God damn.

Oh my God.

Jesus Christ, Denny.

Incoming you mothers!

Davis!

Where the hell are you going?

Let me go you.

Get him off of me.

You stupid bastard.

Let me out of here,

I don't know these people.

I don't know these...

Okay, man.

Maintain, man.

Maintain, man.

Link Thomas, you son of bitch.

You're still an animal.

I should've locked you up for life.

Five years just wasn't good enough for you, was it?

I don't know, man,

Christ, you know, five years isn't enough punishment

for riding your goddamn motorcycle,

trying to breathe a little air.

Cause if you got an ear ring and long hair,

the air ain't yours to breathe is it.

I mean, it belongs to the goddamn citizens,

don't it, man?

Oh yeah, and how about raping those young girls,

how about that, huh?

Or did you already forget about that?

Let me tell you something, man,

it don't start out like that,

but you bastard,

you bastards can never dig anything

that doesn't fit into your mold

and you by God never try to understand nothing.

I mean, if somebody's different, man,

what you do, you squash them,

then you turn your back on them...

then you kill them, don't you?

What are you doing your number with him for, Link?

They're going to kill us all anyway, aren't they?

That's right,

they're going to kill you.

They're going to kill all of you

and you want to know something,

it's not going to make any difference,

nobody's going to care.

It's not going to mean a damn thing

because every newspaper

throughout the whole world

is going to read something like this,

three doped-up, freaked out

American motorcycle tramps

tried to take on the entire Chinese Army

and don't you think that's a little bit ridiculous?

Yeah, I already think that's ridiculous,

you see because that ain't the way it is.

I mean we're not trying to take on the Red Chinese Army

and you're probably the only one around here

that's so goddamn dumb

that you don't know what the Chinese are going to do to you.

You see how it is, man,

we've come in here to bail you out

and we didn't start out as three men,

we started out as five,

and there are two bikers

lying dead out there because of you

and you wouldn't make a pimple on either one of them's ass.

How dare you,

you no good trash.

I've had broads hit me harder than that, man.

You know something,

I don't care how hard broads have hit you.

You know something else,

I don't care what you think of me,

I just want you to know

that I represent the United States of America.

You really are stupid,

you know that?

Do you think I came in here by accident?

Think I just stumbled in here?

I came in here for a specific reason,

to get the Red Chinese out of Cambodia

and I almost made it,

almost,

and then you,

with all your funny looking people

came in here

and blew it for me.

Now,

is there some other way

that you'd like to deprecate

the United States of America

and its representative

or maybe you'd like to hit me again?

Sergeant.

Cigarette?

Thank you, sir.

Very quiet, Major.

I don't think they're going to make it, Sergeant.

Why don't we go in and bail them out, sir?

Can't do that.

We could if we threw away the book.

When are we going to bust out of here, Link?

This isn't anything but a cracker jack box.

Those aren't exactly animal crackers out there, Limp,

they've got guns.

Good evening, gentlemen.

What a bummer,

a real bummer.

I'm sorry, Mr. Davis,

you are not as comfortable

as we tried to make you before.

It won't be for long,

try and make the best of it.

If I could have some water, please.

Of course,

and something to smoke,

some cigarettes?

Thank you.

And you would prefer something

a little stronger I think?

It might make things easier for you.

Why don't you try and get some sleep,

we have a long journey to start on tomorrow.

Where to?

Have you ever been to China before, Mr. Davis?

Come here.

Let's get high man.

Oh mother.

Ah, it's Vietnam!

The next time I come to wrestle here,

I'm going to tear up all of them pencil neck geek's.

Once more with feeling.

I love you, baby, do you love me?

I love you baby, I love you.

Meet my friend,

mother fucker.

Aaaah.

Here come on.

Aaah!

That's, good.

Yeah, right.

Davis, you be a good boy.

Speed, all set?

Righteous.

Let's get it on, Limpy.

Run to your trucks, let's get it on.

Don't!

Stop!

Oh my God!

Hang on, I-impy-

Lieutenant Hayworth,

lay in a cover barrage.

They wont touch me, Link.

Get down, Link.

Get down.

Get out, Link.

Get, get down.

Davis, goddamn it,

come and help.

I wouldn't help you,

you son of a bitch.

I hope they kill you.

Davis, if I get out of this,

I swear to God,

I'm gonna kill you.

They can't make it,

I'm going in for 'em.

Don't do it Captain.

All right, cover him.

Lieutenant Hayworth, cease fire.

Come back you bastard.

Davis!

Davis!

I'll cut your guts out.

Shoot him!

Hello, Major,

you finally did something right.

I'll give you that one.

Now, get me back to Washington

so I can straighten out this mess.

Life has so much to offer to the Young

but when love can't be for everyone

then we're Losers,

Losers,

blinded by the sun.

How will we ever find our way.

How will we ever find our way...
