[ Scene opens with 4 people sitting around a table in
an office ]
Producer: I just wanted to thank the four of
you for agreeing to do this movie together. This is
going to be the biggest action movie ever.
Explosions, fists, babes, this one will have it all!
[ Camera pans across the faces of Schwarzenegger,
Stallone, Chan, and Mr. T, each one trying to look
more ferocious than the next.]
Schwarzenegger: Vat is going to be da script?
Producer: Glad you asked that, Arnie baby. We
still have to work a few things about with our legal
department, but here is what we have so far. [ rustles
through some papers ] This is the story of 4 elite
Navy Seals who must infiltrate a castle and destroy
terrorists. They must also save 4 Playboy
centerfolds, who are imprisoned within the walls. The
four Seals will be shirtless through the entire movie.
Sound good?
Chan: That's great! Lots of kung fu?
Producer: Oh yes, all four of you will know
kung fu, as well as being able to turn invisible. Oh
yes, [ rustles through papers ] and you can all fly.
Mr. T: Hmmmph! I pity those fools when they
get a taste of these fists!
Stallone: Gwrraph mwaagr mllllif grrap
(translation on bottom of screen: "Who are the bad
guys?")
Producer: Well, that's going to be the tricky
issue. You guys have made so many enemies with
respective ethnic groups around the country that our
hands are really tied here. Our options are severely
limited.
Schwarzenegger: Vat about de Arabs? Ve can't
fight dem?
Producer: Oh, goodness no! Arnold, you have
been singularly responsible for the breakdown between
U.S.-Arab relations. For God's sake, with "True Lies",
you just about started a holy war!
Schwarzenegger: Vat about robots? In de
Tyuhminatah I be fighting many of dem.
Producer: Another big no on that one.
Android-Americans have been very vocal as of late
about their treatment in the media. The ACLU will be
all over us if we use robots again.
Stallone: grrrrrak hmmmmmmir ravvillll
(translation on screen: Russians?)
Producer: No way, Sly. Let's see, in "Rocky IV",
you had an entire country cheering for you over their
hometown boxer. That didn't exactly go over well in
Red Square.
[ Silence as the group ponders their options ]
Schwarzenegger: Vat about de drug dealers?
Dey is bad people.
Producer: Usually, that is our safest bet.
But the city of Miami has held very vigorous protests
over the use of drug dealers in movies. Those people
are angry and ready for a fight.
Mr. T: Those suckas better be ready for a
fight, cause I'm gonna hurt 'em!
Chan: What about evil Hong Kong warlord?
Producer: Asians? Please! You can just
about rule out African-American or Native American or
Christian villains as well. Wait a minute, let me
read off the official banned list [ grabs a sheet of
paper. Reading: ] "By order of the ACLU, there shall
be no villains from the following groups: Male,
female, transsexual, Tall, skinny, fat, heterosexual,
homosexual, white, black, Native American, Arab,
Asian, Christian, Jewish, Mormon, European, Russian,
British, Irish, Italian, Cuban, Australian, drug
dealer, Alien, Satanist, Hillbilly, rich, poor, robot,
Hawaiian, Hispanic, jedi, Eskimo or druid."
Schwarzenegger: Eskimo? I didn't know dere
were Eskimo villains. [ pause ] So vat kin we do?
Producer: Well, you could fight each other.
Other than that, we could probably scrounge up some
people that aren't on this list.
Jackie Chan: What about children?
Producer: Well I'll be damned, they forgot
children on the list! I can see it now [ pauses to
think ] An elite squadron of Navy Seals, infiltrating
a gang of terrorist children. Brilliant! Of course,
they will have to be male and female children. And an
equal mix of races, but we should be covered.
Mr. T: Can't wait to smash those kids!
Grrrrrrrrrr!
Producer: Wait a second, though the villains
may be kids, we can't have actual violence against
children. There will be no harming of children. You
can only try to scare them away. And on that thought,
we can't actually use guns in the film. The anti-gun
lobby will come down hard on us. Do you guys mind
carrying wiffle bats?
[ Fade out, fade in to the first scene in the movie ]
[ Titles flash across the screen: "COMMANDO ASSAULT".
All four stars are shown, each with a wiffle bat
strapped to his back. ]
[ Opening scene shows headquarters filled with
children, of all races. There are some handicapped
and special ed children in the room as well. Four
Playboy Playmates are tied together in the middle of
the room. The evil leader approaches the camera, a
small albino boy in a wheelchair. ]
Evil Leader: Those Navy Seals will never stop
us. [ evil laugh ] Ha ha ha ha ha!
[ Fade out ]
