Quoted from FrankM If it helps, the criteria is “handsaw” which could be a hacksaw, coping saw, keyhole saw, etc.

Thanks, Frank. I'm pretty sure nobody realised that.

Holy shit. I feel dumb. Completely misread that. Should be much easier now that I'm not handicapping myself. Lol

Thanks, Frank.

Couple of questions...

How much of the script needs to take place inside of the broken down vehicle?

And what constitutes as a handsaw? Can it be a small chainsaw? An electric saw? A dismounted floor saw?

Any type of saw you can use with one hand.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Any type of saw you can use with one hand.

That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure. Lol.

Ash Williams?

Quoted from FrankM Ash Williams?

Was literally just thinking that. Lol

It still kinda takes two hands to use it... even if one of them is missing.

Alright. I've got that spark back. Matt, I blame you for this.

I look forward to reading what you come up with

FADE IN:
A space ship hovers over a car broken down on the side of the road.  On the side of the car it reads "DAVID COPPERFRAUD, MAGICIAN."

COPPERFRAUD, 103 and incredibly handsome for his age, notices the space ship.  WE SEE him thinking.  Maybe he's thinking.  He could have gas for all we know.  But in quick order he pulls out a handsaw from under his majestic cape and starts sawing his car in half.

5 WEEKS LATER --

The space ship long gone, Copperfraud finally finishes sawing the car in half.  His assistant, FLOOZIE, 18, built like a stripper, sticks her head out on one end of the car, and her legs out the other end.  Copperfraud takes a bow to a non-existent audience.

Despondent that the ship has disappeared, Copperfraud saws his own head off.  

Just as his head hits the ground, the space ship reappears.  A door opens and a grotesque alien, ZORK, with 385 1/2 tentacles, 3 heads and one eyeball, appears in the opening.  Zork sees Copperfraud's head rolling on the ground.

                                              ZORK

Zork farts and returns to the ship. It immediately disappears.  Floozie lights a Lucky Strike cigarette.  The cigarette with a smooth taste.  The flame from the cig lights Zork's gaseous fart, starting a chain reaction that blows up the entire planet.  Ha ha!

I haven't stopped laughing.

I like that you added mystery to your story, Gary.

I can't stop wondering... what happened to that 386th tentacle?

Quoted from PKCardinal I like that you added mystery to your story, Gary. I can't stop wondering... what happened to that 386th tentacle?

It becomes the object in week six of the Challenge:

Place:  Strip Club Men's Bathroom

Object: missing half of Zork's tentacle

Genre: John Hughes 80's teen comedy

I would definitely read a short titled: The 386th Tentacle.
