Around a year ago, a few friends and I watched all four Rambo movies in one day. We got to talking about how much fun it would be if John Rambo were to meet Rocky Balboa. So we wrote a movie about it.
We wrote the outline on one page of paper (in gold ink), split it up into six sections, and each wrote around 15-20 pages, without looking at each others’ work. I got the last section, and it was also my job to clean the script up, join the sections together, and try to get it to make sense.
Then we had a reading of it to hear what the others came up with. And then we never did anything else with it.
…UNTIL TODAY!
So here it is. Enjoy!
