As the villain’s goons are patrolling the warehouse where their boss has his pallets of stolen cash, they fail to notice a shadow that flickers past one of the windows. A few seconds later one of them finds a place where he can enjoy a cigarette alone but ends up having trouble getting his lighter to work. Then, just as it sputters to life, a shower of broken glass crashes over him.
The hero descends on the goon mercilessly, pummeling him with swift brutal strikes that quickly leave the goon quivering in a dazed heap. Another goon nearby rushes in from nearby but drops to the floor from a single chop to the throat. He’s not completely incapacitated though so he desperately tries to push himself away from the wrathful hero with awkward thrusts from his legs as he slides across the room on his back. It’s hopeless though. Steadily the hero advances on the goon until his shadow blocks out the dim light coming in from outside and a shadow falls across the goons face. Now is the time for the hero to dispense his judgement, the one liner that will send an electrical thrill through the audience, the line that will be quoted beside the office water coolers the next day and in pop cultural references for years to come. But in this case there is no line because the movie producers didn’t hire a good enough writer to come up with one.
Let me know when you need that line. I can write it for you. And anything else.
