Mine is probably the tamest. No death at all, maybe even for the entire script.
FEATURE:
Memwipe - Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller (114 pages) - In a world where memories can be erased by request, a Memory Erasing Specialist desperately searches for the culprit when his wife becomes a target for erasure -- with his former colleagues hot on his trail.
For me, I didn't plan and just listened to what the characters wanted to do. As a result, I'm kinda chugging through it. I'm starting to think too much, which is slowing me down a little. I'll also say experience can play into it. I've written 50 or 60 scripts and a couple novels. Another 90 pages is no big hurdle.
Mine has some deaths, but at the same time, I'm going more for gratuitous violence. I'm beating the crap outta my lead. Of course, no one in my little tale is a saint.
I've got a total of 5 deaths, 3 completely nude characters engaged in sexual acts (1 man, 2 women, but the man is nude in 2 scenes), 1 hot topless woman, unlimited F Bombs and sexual slangs, heavy drinking, cocaine use and references, 3 brutal fights, 1 rape scene, a family of deer, several small rays, 2 Hobie Cats, 2 dolphins, and a bunch of monkeys running amok.
When I put it that way, it doesn't sound as tame, I guess...but for my standards, it is rather tame.
I've got one confused guy only known as Man, a bunch of thugs who are only called Hoods (all of whom die), a gang boss, two women, a couple car crashes, one abandoned car, a corpse, a sex scene caught on video with carefully placed shadows, Marco Polo's Golden Tablet of Authority, and a syringe full of a nerve agent.
I meant for the end to sound a bit weird.
Oh yes, and one cliche opening scene of a guy waking up to find said corpse.
No deaths here, no much violence, no sex safe one peck on a cheek.
Not many women either, only two and couple of nurses. It's mostly cops running around, looking for someone, actually it's mostly one guy remembering the cops running around...
It's pretty boring perhaps but wait! I'll try my best at editing - that should make up for a boring story
I have on on-screen death and a few dead bodies showing up but nothing major. I've finally caved and added a few flashback scenes as I really want to show how my characters acted towards each other before the accident.
I'm also worrying that my story might be on the boring side. Still time to fix that.
Don't worry too much about your scripts quality. All of them will be less than perfect. That's what the comments and suggestions you will get are for. To help you polish it into something good you can be proud of.
American Mafia armed to the teeth. Mexican Mafia armed to the teeth. Drug traffickers armed to the teeth. Street gangs armed to the teeth. And some guy in a charcoal SUV, not on anyone's radar, haulin' some serious hardware. Moles/rats. Everyone's on the take. FBI do-gooder Paramedics doin' their job. DA doin' his job. Police doin' their job.
And one very confused man trying to figure out who he is and why everyone is out to kill him.
Everyone thinks he's full of bull when he says "I... I can't remember."

I thought you were writing a fictional script, buddy, not your autobiography.
Anyways, I'm on page 76 now,and I started the big scene I've been looking forward to. It's the beginning of the big reveal, and also the first really big set piece and it's filled with terror, rape, a brutal fight, F Bombs galore, and possibly a good old killing...we'll see.
This should take me through page 83 or so, then I've got a few pages of lead in to the finale, and then, drum roll please...the big finale! Should end up right around 93-97 pages, like I planned.
I should be finished with the first draft by Thursday night, as I'll be out of town all day Friday, through Saturday evening.
I think I have Frost Bite Fever!!!!! AAAAYYYEEE!!!!
I'm starting to worry my script will be overly long.
