Fight : A Movie

As the release of The Expendables 2 nears, I was reminded of a movie plot I thought of while watching the trailer for another action movie, The Last Airbender. First, lets start with action movies in general. Most movies of this genre are thin on plot, weighing heavily on explosions and attractive men and women driving fast cars. Some rogue cop tries to foil the plans of some scum ready to blow up the city of New York. There is always a girl that distracts the cop, he drives a mustang, bang, bang, bang, plot twist! The good guys win! Pretty standard stuff. 

Lately, movies like the Batman series, Inception, and Transformers have made incredible efforts to push action movies to another level. But, I wondered, why anyone hadn't made a movie that has done the exact opposite? Here, in lies, the trailer for The Last Airbender. A child waits in a Chinese like temple while thousands of enemies ascending upon him. I thought, wow! This sounds like a two hour movie of just fighting, which would be AMAZING. No playing around with any crappy plot, just karate chop after karate chop. Although, when I actually saw the movie, there was way more plot then I even cared to dream about. Also, terrible acting, so terrible. That must be what happens when M. Night Shyamalan and Nickelodeon decide to make a movie baby. Then I saw the The Expendables movie. It was as close to a plotless movie I had ever seen, with fricking awesome heroes like Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, Couture, Austin, Crews, Rourke, and Willis. Still though, a little bit too much set up. The story goes like, something, something, and then they have to take out some military leader and a villain CIA guy in Latin America. I'm crossing my fingers director Simon West read my mind for The Expendable 2 coming out in August. In the meantime I thought I'd explain my perfect action movie. 

I would call it Fight : A Movie.

Time: Present

Location: Remote jungle in South America, maybe a desert, and sometimes an abandon steel factory. 

Who: Good guys vs. bad guys.

What:  The good guys fight the bad guy.

Why: Who the eff cares. I wanna see something blow up. 

It's a fairly simple concept. My movie would be about the good guys, we will call GG, fighting the bad guys, which we will call BG. They GG and BG would both be dressed in black, BG would be denoted by a swastika or any other evil symbol. I'd let the BG actors choose when they got to the set. 

The movie would open up in a jungle with the BG patrolling a series of crates, obviously filled with more weapons that they will use later on. Then, cut to the beach. The GG have been sneaking up on the BG by scubaing to the shore. They slip out of their scuba gear and take their place along the cliffs and move in. Once they are spotted the fighting begins. 

Standard gun fighting, ducks, dives and more shooting. GG moving in closer, and hand to hand combat starts. All the injured are yelling like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

One hour later the GGs are getting their butt kicked and they fall back to recoup. 

The BG are now on a large barge in the middle of the ocean. A telescope view of the ship and text describing their location appears at the bottom left hand corner 

Bad Guys,

Ocean: 50 miles off shore.

The GG still sneak up on them again by scubaing to the boat. The BG never learn. The GG jump aboard and this time with explosives. They blow some things up. More yelling and hand to hand. Then there are shots of some government looking generals in a secret dark room with glowing red lights barking orders. Even bigger explosions. 3 hours later they are still fighting and the movie ends. There'd be too much plot if anything was really resolved. 

I'm thinking it's a summer blockbuster.
