Golgo 13: The Professional

Release: May 07, 1983

After assassinating the son of business tycoon Leonard Dawson, Golgo 13 finds himself prey to the CIA and the U.S. Army, whom Dawson has personally hired to kill the assassin. As days pass by, Dawson slowly loses his sanity as he continues to plot every attempt to kill Golgo 13 even without caring about who hired the assassin to kill his son. Golgo 13: The Professional was one of the first anime to incorporate 3D computer graphics—a relatively new technology at the time. The most notable example of this is during the helicopter attack on Dawson Tower. Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS Entertainment)

Quotes

Rita: "Everything's exactly the way you wanted it. Check the piece out. Go ahead, please. [Golgo 13 examines the M16] The trigger is an electronic push-button. I increased the bursts to 15 rounds per second. And the change in balance from the recoil is held below decimal. And check out the silencer kit..."

Golgo 13: "Rita, it's okay. I don't need to hear it; I trust you. Just tell me what you want for the modifications, and for the car."

Rita: "[grabs Golgo 13's hand] I don't want any... payment this time. I just want... I've waited for so long for you to pull my trigger lovingly and softly. Remember Duke, like before?"

Laura: "[last lines; to people on the street] Looking for some fun? Hey, honey - want a little action? [grabs a man's arm] Don't you wanna play? C'mon - if you got time? I'll give you change back in hundred-dollar bills, okay? [the man turns out to be Golgo 13]"

Leonard Dawson: "[to Golgo 13] Do you know... do you know what anemones and verbenas symbolize? They're the flowers Robert gave me just before you killed him. Anemones symbolizes fading hope, and the white verbenas, a request which simply means "please pray for me". [laughs nervously] Well, that's enough. Everything's going to be alright now, Robert. [inhales] Golgo 13... you. You were the perfect man to make me rise out of the depths of my anger and despair, and concentrate my greatest passion. Yes... if only I"

Leonard Dawson: "[to Jefferson, Garvin and Young after they fail to kill Golgo 13] I was a poor nine-year-old immigrant, when I started my first job as a shoe-shine boy. For fifty-three years, I've suffered every hardship there is to build the wealth I have today. Thirteen years ago, my wife passed away. From that time on, the only meaning my life has had has been to take care of my beloved son, Robert. He... Robert was a poet, and he loved to paint. Eventually, he fell in love, like a schoolboy. He'd finally be"

F. Garvin: "Mr. Dawson, the FBI has always been at your complete disposal and..."

Leonard Dawson: "You call that complete? Go comb the federal prison, but get me someone to finish him off."

F. Garvin: "Federal Prison? What do you mean by that?"

Leonard Dawson: "Garvin, you're far too smart to be this stupid."

Robert Dawson: "[as Leonard Dawson commits suicide by falling to his death, Robert's last letter is heard] Father... please forgive me for having to leave my last message like this. I swear it'll be my first, and only opposition to you. Father, thank you for the enormous love you gave me for 29 years. I still remember my sixth birthday, when you baked the only cake you ever made for me. It was delicious. I also remember my high school graduation, where you cried the only tears you ever shed for me. It was very"
