DOUBLE DRAGON

INT. BILLY LEE APARTMENT

Jimmy Lee. Eyes.

JIMMY LEE

Michael kritchner isnt... S-H-R-E-D-D-E-R!

He launches the coffee table into the air. The t.v. Growls in sync. The table rolls past BILLY LEE making a wtf face- at the syncronization, he's sitting on the couch with his girlfriend MIKA.

The coffee table Smashes into the T.V. Billy looks from where it lands back over too Jimmy.. already with a coat rack in motion against the hall entrance. It shatters in slow pieces. He steps out taking a huge half hook jab that RIPS into the wall, he pulls his fist out...it's in his face, hes really fucking pissed about this. His fist swings out wider, a hook that reveals Billies shocked and increasingly unapproving face at Jimmy regarding his explosive reaction to this casting role, andperhapes some kind of personal vendetta about that dame movie.

His fist rips into the wall. Jimmy turns fist clenched royal viens down the hallway,dropping in momentum for the lifting third foot. He kicks the open hallway mirrored door. The mirror shatters on impact, hes the dooer of his own destruction in the jaded reflection. It slams shut, in what remains of the glass, jimmy's turning with another heavy wall punch. A piece of the mirror breaks off...falling with a silhoute of the scene.

Jimmies Back down the hallway, his left rumbling like a piste smashes into the wall divide. He pounds it left one more good solid time and enters

JIMMY LEE

Who the fuck put that on! Billy? What the fuck!

MIKA

What!? I just wanted to see the movie.

BILLY LEE

Ya, Jimmy would ya quit trashing the places!?

JIMMY LEE

BILLY LEE

What's the big deal. You said you could use the same moves in roadhouse.

JIMMY LEE

Roadhouse....Billy? No ones gonna give a SHIT about another roadhouse.

He looks at the T.V. A shot of the broken ninja turtle scene. A broken, unshaven falling apart Jimmy. Billy looks at Jimmy and points the remote at the t.v.

BILLY LEE

Ya know..We've bills to pay...

The remote at the t.v. isn't working. Its a shitty apartment around it. This is a shitty life. Nothing glamourous about being the Lee twins.

Some shitty cement wieghts scattered on the floor around the couch where Mika gets up. She has sexy thin Asian ankles. And short shorts.She wears a dirty look, and nudges past Jimmy.

BILLY LEE

And last I checked you weren't helping shit...Jim. You might as well throw it on the lottery.

The broken plasma screen turns off.

JIMMY LEE

Dont start on me with that JIM shit Billy.

He means it walking down the hall to the exit.

BILLY LEE

Your gonna wind up back in the Psych Ward JIMMY!

The exit door slams.

MIKA

She peaks up.

MIKA

I'm not living like this anymore.. Its me or him ok?

She turns around...

MIKA

You choose.

BILLY LEE

I can't just leave him Mika, he's my twin brother

He steps into the Hall

MIKA

Your going to have to eventually. What will you stay together for the rest of your life?

BILLY

EXT. APRTMENT--EVENING

Jimmy is walking down an iron fire escape step. A Gargage door closed to the right. An apartment upstairs. A black trans am car pulls up front to the left..it's followed by a purple Pintou.

JIMMY LEE

Shit...

He looks up at the closed door.

JIMMY LEE

Ah fuck you Billy (under breath)

He Wipes the blood from his knuckles. A van slows into the scene, parking. Jimmy crosses his arms as more show. Two motorcycles between the trans am and the pintou. The bikers kick the stands. Cut the engines.

The Trans-AM passenger door squeaks open and the gangs main assembler- Chang, gets out.

CHANG

Jimmy...!

He steps up. He's holding a pipe.

CHANG

Just who we're looking for.

Jimmy, with A slight step puts himself into some kind of position between him and the garage door. This could be a fight. He's just getting in a good position.

JIMMY LEE

You must be confused...or lost

HINGE, of the driver door creaks,

IGOR

We ain't losing shit.

a huge fucking biker gets out--Igor. , with a biker's goatee and a thick, heavy chain. He slams the door. A hard ass look. The chain doubles as he takes the corner of the hood.

Chang walks with the pipe. Igor doubles his chain around the trans trunk. Another door opens. The bikers are waiting on their bikes. The van is silent.

Jimmy drops his arms. Loose fists. His mouth always gets him trouble

JIMMY LEE

Come closer.. ill Fucking spin.

Chang takes a few more steps before slowing. He stops and does a page tent with the pipe. Igor and kevin coming up behind the move. He does another super cool page tent move. This guy means fucking business, Fisting the pipe in both hands at a dead stop like that.

Jimmy LEE

The distance is ok. Let's have a nice chat.

Jimmy repostures his arms in a cross.

Chang looks like hes fed some dirty shit. He's done messing around

CHANG

First, you think im gonna let you get away with pushing my little dealers around.....then u got the fuckin nerve to think I'm gonna listen to threats..

He shakes his head,

CHANG

Allots changed in 3 years Jimmy.

He motions and tries to find a smile for Jimmy. The bikers

Pat and Gill, get off their bikes.

CHANG

It aint no intimidation mission.

IGOR

Its a fuck you up mission...

The van doors open. Scott, Dave, Darson and Clark get out.Igors chain rattles on the ground as he lets it down.

IGOR

I get to punch him with this when hes down..

CHANG

Everyone's gonna know how the Lee's turned into nothing but Dragon bitches..

JIMMY LEE

Dragon bitches? What the fuck are you talking about Chang. First you should go talk to a dragon like tmn hat, if you think you're bitches. Me im not...bud

CHANG

We're the Dragons you punk ass!

Chang LUNGES at Jimmy with the pipe. With two hands launching forward, Jimmy dodges back. The Gang is crowding into the fight.

Chang SWINGS the pipe back again, from left to right at Jimmy with one hand. Jimmy steps and taps the pipe ROUNDHOUSE kicking Chang in the face. Igor reels the chain over his head.

Chang wipes his mouth from the ground. BLOOD on his fingers.

CHANG

That's... Blood...

The chain SMASHES JIMMY in the head and knocks him down to a hand. But its just chain in the head. Strike one. It whips around, Jimmy Ducks it, it comes whipping back around and he lifts his leg jumping back to avoid it, the chain sparks off the dry cement, it comes back around and Jimmy veering around towards the GARAGE DOOR, just missing and then Jimmy crouches and wraps his forearm up into it. The chain winds around his foream tightening. He PULLS. Igor unreels him around and SMASHES him into the garage door.

The gang is starting to surround him. Chang is back up and SLAPS his pipe.

CHANG

Fucking business.

Igor grabs Jimmy by the collar hes bleeding from a gash in the forehead and is lifted up and SMASHED into the GARAGE DOOR twice, then Igor wraps and punches him right in the fucking face with the chain in his hand and knocks him down.

Igor picks him back up and throws him into the garage. The gang stands around and watches. Igor takes another swing, Jimmy dodges it. The door rattles to igors massive fist and the CRASHING chain. Jimmy's mouth is bloodied..he spits.

Chang reefs the PIPE for Jimmy's ribs. Jimmy tries to roll off and takes it in the arm it sends him towards the garage

His face is all Bloodied.

JIMMY LEE

This was for a Rat..

Jimmy says following through into a double footed forward round house kick into Chang. He steps back creating distance and looks at igor.

JIMMY LEE

What you want B-b-b-Bop?

(He's really pissed about that ninja turtle movie) He launches at IGOR with solid jabs into his jaw. The third big on the FACE. But, Igor can take a beating. He swings the chain wildly still getting hit, Jimmy jabs quick and gets smashed in the face back. He dodges kyle coming at him, REVERSE KICKS kevin in the gut and ROUND HOUSE kicks Cody around the FACE and finishes backwards on Kyles knee.

Billy's not impressed on the fire escape exit. The cloudy sky. Jimmy taking free kicks in the ribs from the ground. A bunch of pathetic fucks.

Chang raises his pipe. He smacks it on the he ground. The sky groans with a roar of thunder. Like Billy too had brought something to life in his fluke occurances. Like what happened to Jimmy when the movie growled to his anger. It's magical.

The bat swimgs down, Billy opens the freezer door. The bat smashes down into it. Frozen juice flies out. He kicks. He closes the door. The bat swings. He ducks. It smashes into the fridge. He opens the fridge smashing him. He reeves open the freezer it smashes into his face. Once. twice. He Closes it. Punches heavy over the fridge door.

Once. It smashesm him. Twice. It smashes him. The knife is pulled out. It sticks back in. It just misses. They try to stab him with the door. Billy steps back and kicks the fridge door as hard as he can. He bumps into him he comes back, Billy grabs his head and pulls him down knees him from behind between the fridge door pulling him onto the fridge. Hes hanging on the fridge Billy smashes his face and he falls between them.

The thugs have swarmed the apartment trashing everything. Billy pushes on the door. It bangs open. A foot into the door pulling the knife.

Billy picks up a kitchen chair Smashing him in the face. The knife is at him. Billy uses the chair legs and steps over the person knocked out and pushes the knew knifer against the wall. The maul comes smashing forward the

Takes the cord of a lamp and swings it around. The lamp shatters in ones face. Now it swings around like a jagged shard. It smacks one to the right. It wraps around the monkey wrench smashing one in the face as it wraps. Billy pulls and swings it around at them desperately. He's afriad. The lamp gets smashed with a bat. The monkey wrench flies off.

Billies swooped onto the bed. He rolls. The bat nearly misses his face. . He finds whis way to the floor and gets smashed against the wall face first. He grabs the nightstand and swings it roundly into them. The drawers come out and there knocked back. He throws it across the room at them and it smashes against the wall. He grabs a drawer by the handle. He smashes one. The night table launches back across the room into Billy.

EXT. STREET

Jimmys walking. His fists swollen. His face bruised and blackened. His stitches re opened. He doesn't give a shit. Little even for himself. Life is fucked for him.

INT. BILLIES

The place is being trashed

Mika is about to be rapped. Tray is on her. She's face up. Billies thrown on the bedroom floor. They pick him up and slam him against the wall and choke him with the bat against his throat. He comes too.

DEEK

Where should we put it.

GED

Knifes go in backs...

Mika struggles back on the couch Theres no where left to go, here eyes full of water and fear. They throw him on the floor at the foot of the bed. Ged gets over him with the knife. He struggles.

GED

Hold him still...

Mika's panties drop from the couch onto the floor. She slaps him in the face. He likes it. He pulls her close and something terrible can be witnessed in her face. She just wants it to be over...She's just about to close her eyes, but doesnt because she sees something..

Behind Bates, someone is approaching. And by the sound of their voice...fucking pissed.

JIMMY LEE

The fuck you think!

Suddenly Bates is getting run forward by the hair and gets thrown through the window. He smashes to the ground with broken glass following. Jimmy grabs tray and knees him in the face off of her. Once. Twice. Three times. Four. Five. Six. They fucked with the wrong twins.

Mikas watching the rage and brutality of Jimmy. She's never been so afraid. So happy to see Jimmy. Angry and relieved to see someone beating the living shit out of someone like this. Jimmy. Going, seven eight nine like its not enough until he collapses limp. Tray is knocked unconcious, but that doesnt stop Jimmy from throwing his limp body into the broken T.V.

He says nothing. Just breathing heavily. Furiously. Like he's lost control. His place in time. Where he is. What bullshit just happened and It takes a second to clue in from all that anger. Thats Jimmy alright..

MIKA

Jimmy..

She lunges at him and wraps her arms around him, not caring about her naked side but in view.

BILLY LEE (OFFSCENE)

Ahh...fuck! You bunch of fucking pussies

JIMMY LEE looks down the hall.

Jimmy

Billy...(He growls quielty)

Jimmy reaches into the couch and pulls out a telescopic night stick.

MIKA

Go get them Jimmy.

They're just finished carving DRAGON into Billys rib cage.

Jimmy burst into the room and sees.

JIMMY LEE

Hey! You wanna fuck with the Lees!

He swings the telescopic knight stick. It retracts as he speaks and enters smashing a knee to the left. He jumps wrapping his leg around ones throat and launches him at the wall. He lands on the bed and jumps off kneeing Ged in the face. He lands swinging the knight stick at ones shin. And roundhouse kicks another.

He gets grabbed by the back into a full Nelson, by Nelson. He turns and kicks one in the face while being held.

Billy gets up. He breaks the bed post off. And swings it smashing into Ged.

Jimmy runs up the wall amd lands on other side as Billy smashes nelson in the back, once..twice..jimmy kicks up catching one in the chin and steps up reverse spin kicking him into the wall.

Billy smashes Nelson's head into the wall in the same spot.

JIMMY LEE

Stay the fuck down.

Jimmy kicks ged in the face.

JIMMY LEE

We need to move.

BILLY LEE

Billy exits.

Jimmy reaches under the bed. Takes a duffle bag out from under and goes to the dresser. He fills it full of clothes.

They stay on the floor.

GED

JIMMY LEE

She's breaking up, almost in tears.

BILLY LEE

JIMMY

He was selling crack to high school kids. You needed money.

BILLY

Just..come on, lets go.

They get down the stairs.

Through the window of the van, keys dangle from the ignition.

Billy takes Mika by the hand running infront of the van.

JIMMY LEE

No no no...the van

He opens the passenger door and gets in. Billy pulls Mika.

Mika gets in. The van fires up. Billy gets in. The door shuts.

From the fire escape Ged looks off. Ones holding his arm.

Anothers nose is bloodies to hell. The van screeches off.

GED

These guys are good as dead.

NELSON

Ah..not my van...

The van does a u-turn and peels off. A red flame is scored down the side..Its a cool van.

EXT. VAN GET AWAY

JIMMY LEE

I dont know where to go...

Billy

Just get us the fuck out of here.

The van rips around the first corner SCREECHING onto Huffington Blvd. The engine RIPS next to the tree line dividing the lanes.

EXT. STREET

They're standing around CODY. He's dead. Ged's lifting his

head. They're Surrounded in blood and glass.

TOAD

Is he..?

Ged stands up from checking him.

GED

Bloods coming out his head and ears Toad, what do u think?

Toad checks him...Ged takes out a phone.

ROTH

He threw him out right by the fuckin head man. The guys a nut. Im not sure how things are handled now, but we need to take a gun and put him down. The both of them. And we can use their little girlfriend to make back our money.

GED

It's not the money to Chang. It's the principal.

Ged has a phone.

GED

We're gonna use our two dirty detectives..You all git, ill handle this here.

He dials

LINE

911 emergency...

GED

Id like to report a homicide, and the theft of an automobile...

INT. VAN

Swollen skin torn Knuckles grip the Wheel as the van races down the boulevard. Passing a Gremlin. Then a cop car.

BILLY LEE

Slow down...

JIMMY

We gotta get the fuck out of the city.

The cop car puts on its lights and sirens, and starts on their tail

BILLY

Well congratulations JIM.

JIMMY LEE

Don't start on me with that shit now Billy.

MIKA

Stop for the police. Self defense, we can tell them

JIMMY LEE

There is no self defence when your fucking Jimmy.

BILLY

I heard Chang has crooked cops in the serious crime unit.

MIKA

....

More cop cars join the chase and they race to the city limit excitedly. Maybe a cop car rolls i dont know...this is just a rough first draft intro to the movie pitch

JIMMY LEE

How do we lose them! Fuck!

He smahes the dash. The clock reads 7:56

BILLY LEE

The 8 oclock train jimmy. It's not far...we could make it.

Jimmy LEE

That might work...but we gotta time it perfectly

They race towards the train bridge. Alongside the road they start to pass the train with cops following. The van speeds up to the front of the train

BILLY

Get us ten feet ahead of that train Jimmy.

The clock reads 7:59. Jimmy floors it. The van edges past the train approaching the bridge. Cops in pursuit. They swerve infront of the train and ride the tracks a few seconds before cutting onto the train bridge in the nick of time with the train blasting its horn but alas...they lose the cops. Then they search the van and find a duffle bag full of money.

Thats my pitch. Names can be changed easily to make it original, but i thought a double dragon reboot would be cool, so i drafted the intro for you and submitted into the contest. I can finish it if wanted.
