Hello all,

My name is Adam and I have been reading scripts from this site for a year or two now. In the last couple of months i have started to write a comedic script about a stupid cop. This could be classified as a spoof in the direction that i have taken it with references to "the other" cop films but i have created an (and i use these words bluntly) "original-ish story" behind all of the gags. Think the modern day naked gun. *BOW*

My problem is my Villain. The Villain has just escaped from jail (in a funny manner) and returns back into society a wanted man. The "Hero/Cop" is the man whom sent him to jail 4 years a go. Now, i need a motive for why the Villain has escaped jail and what he plans on doing. Preferably Not A Bank Robbery.

So the question is... Imagine you are the villain, why did you escape jail and what do you plan on doing to the cop who put you there and to the world who turned its back on you.

The best that i can think of is that the villain remembers that he left the ironing board on and has to return home to turn it off. HA!

Maybe he got some valuable information from the inside off a man whom befrended him...

Look at it like this Villain has X. He needs Y to make X work. X and Y = Z.

Any ideas or suggestions that you may give will be stolen, erm... i mean erm... considered!

Thanks,
Adam

First let me say just say, welcome to scimplyscripts. As for a motice, this may sound a little cliche. The villian escaped jail simply to get rvenge on the Hero/Cop.

Thanks GolemCrap i mean Creep. Any more suggestions would be appreciated. (GolemCreep don't take offense to my sense of humour I actually did type your name wrong by accident and left the joke in for comedic purposes.)

I would like something where the Villain discovers some information on the inside from a elderly man who tells him this in gratitute to the Villains service he performed. Villains priority has got to be along the lines on doing something with this information and getting revenge on Hero at the same time.

Thanks,
Adam

maybe when the villians in jail he gets wind that the hero is now with his (the villians) wife!

Lol i like you, You've got a good sense of humour. Maybe we could meet up some time for dinner and go from there.

Now that would be a problem with the script so far as i have made many homosexual references to my Hero charachter. Plus Villain is a straight man but has no time for women because of his evil deeds.

How about Villain, while in jail discoveres a chemical. Which when exposed to humans makes them turn gay. He also creates a vaccine too, which when taken will make them turn "normal" again. He plans on unleashing the chemical on the entire population of New York and if they don't want to be gay any more they must buy a vaccine tablet off him at a high price. This making Villian a bad man who has the city at his feet while making his fortune.

maybe the hero is seeing the villians son! Now that'd be funny! Oh and about dinner, unless you are bald, have pale white skin, wear only a clothe to hide your uglies, and way 40-50 pounds... I'm not interested.

Quoted from deleteme The best that i can think of is that the villain remembers that he left the ironing board on and has to return home to turn it off. HA!

How about the villian needs to put another quarter in the parking meter?  Those parking tickets are expensive.

I have noted both of the above. Good workguys. Hopefully ill have the first draft of this online wihin the next few weeks. Page 25 so far

Villain finds out the hero is his biological son and escapes to spend quality time with him, only to discover he's gay. Love turns to hate. Rated PG-13.

I like death monkey's plot!

Villain despises Hero for sending him a fruitcake the previous Christmas.  The real hilarity ensues when the villain discovers that it's the same fruitcake he had sent the hero the year before.

How does he find this out you ask?  Two words....Ex Lax.

He escapes from jail mainly because he doesn't want to be there any more, but also because he can't wait to get his hands on the Hero and hook his balls up to a 12 volt car battery.

Does that make him gay?  Indeed it does!  But since he's killed off our hero in a most violent way, he has to go down to the gay district to find his love.  There he meets a colorful transvestite with a heart of gold named Bunny, who convices him that the villainous life is not one that should be led, and they fly off to Cuba to be married, but then Castro kidnaps him and our villain is now the hero, and in the midst of a plot to overthrow the government!  Since our new Hero isn't the brightest bulb, all
he can do is stick his foot out and trip Castro during a public appearance.

I'll let you take it from there, but this has action/adventure/love/and most of all it utilizes things that really happened!  I won't even mention the comedic value of an ex lax laced fruit cake.

The Villain is watching the local news when a story breaks, a woman (his wife) is rushed to hospital.  In the midst of passion she'd accidentely superglued her hand to a cops penis (the cop/hero).  In a fit of rage, having discovered his wife's infidelity, he escapes armed with a bottle of thinners to first free them and then seek revenge on them both.

Keep in mind that, when writing a comedy, not everything has to be for laughs.  

In Naked Gun 3, the villains (leaders of the coal, oil and nuclear energy industries), kidnap an expert on solar energy to prevent him from speaking on behalf of solar energy.  They replace him with a double who works for them

The motive would actually be very believeable in a dramatic story.

The same could be said for the other Naked Gun movies.

This thread is so much fun to read. I liked all of the ideas and laughed my balls off at them. Doddlebe has made a good point above. I did actually aknowledge the point he is trying to make a while back.

If we look at The Naked Gun's. The story behind them is serious and the comedy is brought to you by Lt. Frank Drebben played by an hilarious Leslie Nielson.

Now, let's look at Loaded Weapon 1. The story is trying too hard to be funny. Yeah we may get a laugh at the start of the film but that one laugh comes at the expense of the rest of the story.

Also, the first film (Naked Gun) only has one of two funny charachters and this makes it even funnier when they succeed to defeat the villain. The latter however has many charachters which are trying too hard to be funny, Thus making it not as funny when they achieve there goal.

I was actually going to say this last night but i thought it would be irrelevant to the thread.

Clumbsy Cop Defeating Clumbsy Villain = Funny
Clumbsy Cop Defeating Clever Villain    = Hillarious scenarios. The possibilities are endless.
