My great movie idea...

My great movie idea...

Title of movie:
"Harry and Axel"

Plot summery:
Harry Callahan (from the "Dirty Harry" movies) is only seven days from retirement when he is reluctantly partnered with Axel Foley (from the "Beverly Hill Cop" movies). Now it is up to these two notorious detectives to track down and stop a bomb-planting ex-C.I.A. agent while at the same time avoid being killed by various assassins hired by mobsters to kill Callahan.

The movie preview would go something like this:
- Shot of exploding building.
- Footage from car chase.
- A clever remark by Callahan followed by a snappy comeback by Foley.
- Another explosion
- A shot of an angry mobster yelling "I want Callahan and Foley DEAD!!!"
- Callahan firing his signature 44 magnum
- Truck explosion
- Shot of sexy women dancing in a night club.
- A clever remark by Foley followed by a snappy comeback by Callahan.
- Gun fight
- Helicopter crash
- Ends with Foley's signature laugh.

What do you all think? Would you go see it? Do you think it would make money?

It wouldn't work. Axel Foley would make a remark to Harry Callahan, and Harry Callahan would shoot him in the face. The movie would be too short.

Don't be surprised when they just lift your idea and make the movie, without any compensation or credit to you.

And using all stock footage. No shooting schedule.

That would not shock me too much.

You got most of it, suncrafter. There's a long list of things that Hollywood seems to have it in for, like automobiles of all types, glass, buildings, furniture, food, people, animals. If not a car chase, a boat chase, or a train chase, or a horse chase, or a chase on foot. Gotta have a chase. Gotta show the top mama's bare topside and or the bottom mama's bare bottom, or both. Gotta have some computer generated graphics. Gotta say the f-word as though there were any shock value remaining.

Deviation from the formula loses millions at the box office, so you might want to do some editing. Aha....ha.
