How would you go about adapting an odd story where the plot is a little slapstick or laughable?

I'll go into detail so somebody doesn't say what do you mean.

About 5 - 8 years ago I wrote a book that's been inside my "writing" book (This was before I was into screenplay writing, books were my thing and I wrote a lot that I've kept to myself) It was The Adventures of The Tiger Warriors and I think the characters and story were solid for a book but as a screenplay/film it would be weird because the middle of the screenplay is that they get captured by the bad guy who then makes them fight his special demons kind of like Mortal Kombat where they fight to the death and through the list.

I don't know, do you think that can work in a screenplay to have about 4 fights in a row without any real plot but fight to the death?

It was actually a to be continued but I never got around to writing part 2.

Ummm...I think it depends on how you present it. You may have to move some stuff around to fall into order a bit better...also making sure there is a protagonist vs antogonist (doesn't have to be 1 specific person)...

I'd think it would be cool to adapt something I wrote into a screenplay - even for the challenge of it.

I'd give you my book to adapt but I fear you like I couldn't read it ha-ha... Man, do I have the smallest writing for a guy on this planet or what. I'm seriously thinking of burning it because it's hard to read my descriptions and what I can make out doesn't make any sense.

I know the basic story about a group of heroes that go on a journey and they get captured, are forced to fight demons of the Phoenix I believe I called him and then when defeated they think it's over only to be betrayed by their own master who was in fact pulling the strings all along because phoenix was in fact his younger brother who disappeared many years earlier.

The story goes deep but that's the basics.

For the age I wrote this I think it was a really good story because it could be something people would enjoy reading.

maybe I can call it an anime because way back when I drew all of the characters and I think that it looks better as a cartoon or anime which at that time would open up and tell the audience that the weird characters and names I use are perfect and at the end of the day in hopes of making it entertaining I can beef up the story from what I had at the time... maybe, it depends if I can decode the language in which I wrote it in, we'll call it goddamnthatissmall.

Four fights in a row could work as long as we care about where it is going and there is some kind of drama in the fights themselves. If the characters on both sides of the fight are acquainted somehow and we know the history of both combatants to the point of we understand that perhaps they have more of a reason to fight than just "they're supposed to," then four fights in a row turn into four dramatic confrontations in a row, which works well as long as there is some kind of pause in between for everyone to get their bearing, recap, figure out what's next, setup the next conflict, and go at it again. Just run each fight like a setup-conflict-resolution and it will be fine.
