Here we go, just a quick rip off of Commando I did a while ago. Maybe it'll give you some ideas for a beginning. Do with it what you will.

One-Man Army

A rip off of Commando
By
Rob Brice



INT.-GYM-DAY


JOHN STONE (35-40), a huge, muscular, austrian, flat topped ex-marine, wearing a sweaty white vest and camo trousers is working out. We get close-ups of his HUGE muscles. He grunts and sweats like a randy gorilla as he does push ups on a mat. He is surrounded by dumbells and other muscle building equiptment. Someone sneaks up behind him.

SOMEONE
(Woman's voice)
BOO!

STONE jumps. He lets out a sigh of relief when he sees it is his wife, SARAH.

STONE
(Relieved)
Oh, honey. You scared me.

SARAH

John, you're still jumpy as ever.

STONE

I don't have the reactions I used to have, or I would have broken your neck.

SARAH

You have to try and let go of your memories.


STONE picks up a bottle of water and drinks it all in one gulp.

STONE

It's been five years since I was a marine.

SARAH

You miss it, huh?

STONE

It's the little things I miss. The feeling of a gun clutched to my manly chest. The sound of a man's windpipe crushing between my mighty fingers.

SARAH begins to massage his shoulders.

SARAH

But its all behind you now.

STONE turns and kisses SARAH

STONE

I don't need it any more. I have you. I'd never go back.

SARAH

I love you, John.

STONE

And I love you, SARAH. There's nothing that could change that.

They kiss again, and the camera pans out of the window to reveal their house to be in a sunny forest on a mountain, like in COMMANDO, which this script rips off like a bastard.


INT.-THE BEDROOM-NIGHT


SARAH is asleep, and STONE sits awake on the bed. SARAH is naked, with the duvet obscuring her 'naughty bits'. STONE is wearing just a pair of white briefs. He is sweating and shaking.
Slow zoom in on his eyes.

FLASHBACK (In black and white, accompanied by bright flash and appropriate 'swooshing' noise.)

STONE and his team of marines, dressed in snow camo gear, move through a snowy forest.

Back to STONE, he is sweating and shaking more.

FLASHBACK

His team move forward. Suddenly, some enemy soldiers pop up, and shooting begins.

Back to STONE. He cradles his head in his hands.

FLASHBACK

STONE's team fall, one by one. Even though there is no sound, we see STONE mouth 'NOOOOOO'. He takes a bullet, and falls.

Back to STONE.

STONE

NOOOOOOO!!!

SARAH wakes up

SARAH

John! What is it?

JOHN

I just can't stop thinking about that massacre in the Alps.

SARAH

The time when those guerilla soldiers killed your entire team?

STONE

Yes. I was the only survivor.

FLASHBACK

STONE, bleeding, crawls through the snow.

STONE
(V.O)
I crawled for two days, injured and bleeding.

STONE collapses face down in the snow. Some shadows move over him.

Back to STONE and SARAH, sitting on the bed.

STONE

Then, some passing nomads picked me up and nursed me back to health.

SARAH

You need to forget about that. It's in the past.

STONE

I've tried, but there is something bugging me about it.

SARAH

What?

STONE

How did those rebels know we were there? I think we were set up...

SARAH

That's not possible. Everyone there was killed. Forget about it.

STONE

You're right. It's not possible.

SARAH

Yeah. Get some sleep, and we'll talk in the morning.

STONE kisses SARAH, then lies down.


INT.-THE BEDROOM-MORNING


STONE is lying on his own in bed. SARAH is already up. STONE wakes up and rubs his eyes. There is a noise in the background. He pulls on a pair of white trousers and a pale blue shirt, and goes outside.


EXT.-STONE'S HOUSE-DAY


STONE comes outside. He looks around. There is a helicopter heading towards his house. It lands on his lawn. A man steps out, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses. He walks towards STONE. This is EDDIE LAWLER (30-35), an American, and STONE's old marine buddy.

LAWLER

STONE!

STONE

Lawler. Eddie Lawler. Long time no see.

The two men shake hands.

STONE

I thought you died in that Alps mission.

LAWLER

I thought the same about you since this morning.

STONE

How did you survive?

LAWLER

I didn't get shot. The rebels captured me, and I was in a prison for three years, before I escaped by killing the 36 guards with an icicle. How did you survive?

STONE

Umm, some nomads found me.

LAWLER

Lucky you. What are you doing with yourself these days?

SARAH comes out.

STONE

I've settled down with my wife. Lawler, this is Sarah, Sarah, this is Eddie Lawler, an old business partner of mine.

LAWLER

Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

STONE

What are you doing at the moment, Lawler?

LAWLER

As a matter of fact, I've started my own little business.

STONE

Really?

LAWLER

Yeah. (To SARAH) Would you please excuse us?

SARAH

Certainly.

SARAH goes back into the house.

LAWLER

Yeah. I've come here with a little, shall we say, business proposition, for you.

STONE

Uh huh?

LAWLER

My company, we work for whoever pays us the most. We do little jobs for whoever needs a little job done.

STONE

You're hitmen?

LAWLER

We prefer the term 'Cleaners'.

STONE

Not interested.

LAWLER

Think about it, John. Imagine it. Our strength and experience combined, along with my 100 footsoldiers. We'd be unstoppable.

STONE

Listen, you greaseball, I've left it all behind me, now. So take your little 'business proposition, and get the hell off of my land, okay?

STONE begins to walk back to the house

LAWLER

Okay, but you'll regret it, do you hear?

The helicopter takes off. STONE watches it go. Just when you think it has gone, it turns, and flys back towards the house. STONE looks worried. LAWLER leans out with a HUGE grenade launcher, and aims it at the house. STONE begins running towards the house.

STONE

Sarah! NOOO!

LAWLER fires and the house explodes. STONE is blown away by the blast. He gets to his feet. The house is in ruins.

STONE

Sarah...No...YOU BASTARDS!

The helicopter flies in close. Lawler leans out and shouts to STONE.

LAWLER

I told you, John!

STONE

You son of a b**ch, Lawler!

LAWLER laughs, and the helicopter flies off. STONE shakes his fist.

STONE

You'll pay, LAWLER. Big time.
Life is like a big joint. You pack in as much as you can, and when you're finished, you pass on.

Made that'un up me'self.

Watch some action/comedies (like Rush Hour 1 or 2) and you'll get some ideas.

You know, the guy asked for an idea not for the whole script :P
Anyway, i think it's always fun to make a movie with a medievel setting..
You can make a movie about knights or druids or whatever you want.
Making those films you have one big advantage you don't have to make much decor and its easy to film. You can just go to the woods and make a nice movie, good luck!
