Nazi
..and in a few weeks I’ll play a thug/robber who gets to beat up an innocent girl
This is just a hobby but I really enjoy it. Anyway for the summer I’m planning to do a action movie of some sort. I’ve come up with two kinds - either a dark n gritty realistic thriller style of action. Or, Jackie Chan style haha. Either way I’ll have to come up with some story. So, if you’d do this what would it be about?
(just curious, could use inspiration)
“Plot #5 Early in the movie, a little girl falls in the hallway and has a massive brain hemorrhage. And since the military programmed the evil military computer with medical technology that doesn’t exist yet, the evil cyborg is the only one who can save her. Which, if you think about it, is either ironic or retarded.”
The story of a young 19 year old Texan and his dream of getting a date with a gorgeous burnette from California who is 4 years older than him and works for a magazine.
That´s very interesting,but I´m not too high on handing anything out without given rules to work on.
I guess if I were to do that,it would be a parody rip-off…off certain movies (like those you described) and tv-series.
(Yeah right,as if someone would give me something to work on)
As for your options:
You could make a dark thriller about your average nutcase stalking the dark fields murdering cattle or a MA flick in Jackie fashion about Japanese schoolgirls out to kill the heck out of each other.Either way,it might (need) use some perspiration.
Teen angst, I like it. Cyborgs and retards set in the Fukien temple…
txwingchun - thank’s a bunch man! That gives tons of ideas. Actually I was thinking that I don’t really want any fancy story just some lame one so you understand why the characters is fighting all the time. Something like Street Fighter 2 the Ani. movie, Animatrix: detective story, Rumble in the Bronx etc.

Glad too help and make sure you include the sassy reporter
The story would start out when the huns invade and start conquering the romans and a band of huns capture and enslave
a group of romans occupying a remote outpost close to the asian border. One of the slaves is a Woman. (a nice looking one) the slaves are taken into china in the mountainous regions and sold to a lord of a city at the base of one such mountain. the ruler of the town takes the woman as a concubine(but seeing that she is foreign he does not have any desire to be with her). he already has 6 concubines to which he does not want to give up to the dragon that lives in the mountains that he made a deal with a few years back. the deal was that if the dragon spared his life he would give him one of his most prized concubines as a sacrifice to ensure a good harvest, if he failed to do so the dragon would reign fire and destruction on his city and burn his crops and kill him. so the ruler being possesive of his 6 concubines decides to make this Foreign woman slave the next spring sacrifice.
the woman is taken deep in to the mountains where the dragon resides and is chained to a metal pole driven into the ground by the dragon who designates that spot as the sacrificial ground. he leaves her there.
but what happens next is the cruxt of the story, a few days later a shaolin monk is wandering through the mountain pass on a pilgrimage to the city and finds the foreign woman badly beaten and unconcious. he forgoes going to the city and takes the foreign woman back to the temple in the mountains and it is discovered that she has also been raped(by the dragon to which the monks secretly know about) the monk took a shortcut through the territory of the dragon to make better time,the monks are able to do this without alerting the dragon.
So the Woman(in shock and unable to speak and do anything really) gives birth to a boy half man half dragon and dies in the process and the boy is trained at the temple and later it is revealed that he is the offspring of this dragon that raped his mother and he vows to avenge his mother and also Kill the ruler of the city who sacrificed her to the dragon in the mountains.
So we can see with this story we have a few dynamics that i think would make a great story and be real entertaining ..we have an epic and mythological plot involving a dragon and a man who is half human and posesses great abilities who has to face his “sire” and destroy him. and he also has to face this ruler (who is also a master of martial arts) and also with shaolin monks who try to tame this half man(but cant because he is too aggressive).
it would have to be similar in fashion and style to crouching tiger hidden dragon.
so what do you guys think?
Many respects,,,The Willow Sword
