Kevin Neece's Next Planned Ah My Goddess Feature Film Outline
Okay Kodansha Ltd,
Remember the Rules for a Kevin Neece Film Development Project
1) Come up with the Dumbest Fucking Idea You've Ever Heard of for a Movie Plot, then Actually Go out and Produce It leaving the Audience Guessing How Such a Stupid Idea ever got Greenlit.
2) Make sure it Pisses off and Angers your Bosses to the Point that they will Fire You, and Flip Your Bosses Off by Producing it yourself anyways, leaving the Audience Guessing How Such an Outspoken and Brutally Honest Idea ever got Greenlit.
3) No Matter How Stupid Your Plot Sounds on Paper, Always Take Your Plot Dead Seriously as a Heart Attack especially when finding the balance between Comedic Moments and Dramatic Moments. This I learned from Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze on Being John Malkovich and Michael Caine on Muppets Christmas Carol. Alway treat your movie as if it is going to be greenlit for production by a Studio Executive someday meaning it's a Real Movie whether it is or it isn't. If you can't take your own project seriously as a production, no one else will.
4) Kevin Neece never gets his ideas at home or in the office. His best ideas and written dialogue scenes always hit him when he is eating out at a Restaurant or watching a Theatrical Release at the movie theater. The film scenes play out in the back of his imagination and then he goes home and writes them down before he forgets them.
5) Sometimes Half a Movie or just a Complete Act One is Better than No Movie at all. In the Film Industry this is what we call a Pilot Episode. In reality, it's called Writer's Block... WITH STYLE.
6) If you think your movie sucks after it is visualized, sit down and watch Seth and Jay vs the Apocalypse, which was developed into This is the End, or Pixels which was produced into an Adam Sandler movie by Christopher Columbus, or the original cartoons for Undercover Brother before they got developed by Malcom D Lee and Eddie Griffin. Yes some movies look like shit, but shitty pilot movies are a lot like Fertilizer, Beautiful Flowers can grow from them.
7) Lloyd Kaufman believes that no movie should be longer than Two Hours. James Cameron believes that Four Hours is allowable when you have people who binge watch Game of Thrones and all Three Extended Editions of Lord of the Rings back to back. The Solution: Intermission Breaks. They used to be a thing in the 1960s. It's time to start using them again.
8) Josh Becker cannot stand Anime Films. Show Josh Becker Forgiveness and Hire Him Someday Anyways. Nobody is forcing him to watch these things, he just needs to write them.
Okay, are you ready for Kevin Neece's Next Planned Ah My Goddess movie Outline?
Ah My Goddess: Bad Goddess (DUB) Von Zipper Breaks Loose TTS Voice Track
UPDATE: This movie plotline is subject to change. Nekomu Otogi is already being planned to be replaced with Officer Natsumi Tsujimoto from You're Under Arrest as a Buddy Cop Yakuza Comedy. I just haven't had the chance to rewrite the outline yet.
Act One
Kosuke Fujishima has been working late nights at the office on Toppu GP, unaware that Nekomu Otogi has been sneaking out of the house to chill with the Marller Gang on the set of the Frankie Avalon Beach Party Franchise Universe where every night is a Nonstop Party.
When Nekomu Otogi gets plastered and passed out drunk, and Harvey Lembeck's Eric Von Zipper freezes himself by giving himself "The Finger", The Marller Gang decides to play a practical joke on both of them. Nekomu Otogi wakes up back in her home with a hangover only to discover Eric Von Zipper is in the house with her with no memory for how he got there leading to the horrifying revelation "Did Nekomu Otogi get drunk and fuck Harvey Lembeck?" And more than that, the Marller Gang are nowhere in sight meaning what the hell is she going to do with him.
Nekomu Otogi and Eric Von Zipper show up at Kodansha Ltd looking for Kosuke Fujishima and Eric Von Zipper becomes the life of the party... at least until he finds out the reason why he was never featured in Back to the Beach... it's because Harvey Lembeck died in 1982 before Back to the Beach was produced.
This sends Eric Von Zipper into an Existential Crisis along with the information that Harvey Lembeck has two Adult Children, Michael Lembeck who is a film director, and Helaine Lembeck who is an Actress. There's just one problem, his children live in America and Eric Von Zipper is currently located in the middle of Chiba Japan.
Act Two
Eric Von Zipper runs away into the Tokyo Night Time Club District with Nekomu Otogi chasing after him, but when the Night Time falls on them, things get dark really quickly when Eric Von Zipper has a run in with the local Yakuza and they both witness a Gangland Murder led by a Publicly Known Serial Killer dubbed Yakuza Mike (played by Director James Wan), who is the son of Yakuza Leader Beat Kitano.
Being a Lovable Street Gang Leader himself, Eric Von Zipper somehow manages to charm his way into Yakuza Mike's graces to avoid being murdered by him, but that doesn't really fix the overall problem, Harvey Lembeck and Nekomu Otogi are now in the lair of the Yakuza with a Manic Serial Killer who clearly has no intention of allowing them to leave alive.
Eric Von Zipper distracts the Yakuza just long enough for Nekomu Otogi to escape, and when she calls the Marller Gang, they finally show up with Corey Feldman as Doctor What. But the whole thing is a trap. When Beat Kitano and Yakuza Mike realize that Eric Von Zipper literally walked out of the universe of a Beach Party movie, they use him to lure Doctor What into their clutches and kidnap the Time Lord in trade for Eric Von Zipper's life because they want to get their hands on the TARDIS for their own exploitive purposes.
Eric Von Zipper realizes that there is no way out for him, and no way to walk away. He is trapped in the middle of Tokyo Japan in the year 2023, the 1960s are over, his own children would no longer recognize him as their father, this sure as fuck is not a Roger Corman musical, and even if he could go back home, he's a dead man anyways.
Mara Marller takes the Tardis to try and find help, and Eric Von Zipper arms himself and walks back into the Yakuza's Lair for a Boss Battle to save Nekomu Otogi and Doctor What before Yakuza Mike decides to kill them and has some sort of dramatic dialogue exchange.
Act Three
Just when it looks like Eric Von Zipper is about to be murdered by the Yakuza, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello appear in his defense, causing everyone in the Yakuza to break down laughing at their idiotic gesture, until they realize the Beach Party cast members have brought Eric Von Zipper's Street Gang Army with them. Roger Corman steps out in front of them as Doctor Who declaring that Corey Feldman isn't the only time lord on duty
Roger Corman tricks Beat Kitano and Yakuza Mike into the TARDIS under the premise that he is going to give them exactly what they asked for, and then he sends them to Viking Hell. Yakuza Mike is so fucked up and sociopathic that he considers his Fate to be a Trip to Disneyworld.
Corey Feldman and the Marller Gang take Eric Von Zipper and the cast of Beach Party back home to their Universe, but when Eric Von Zipper steps off the Tardis, he realizes that something has changed about his universe, it's the 1980s, and the version of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello who came to rescue him were from the universe of Back to the Beach. Eric Von Zipper is finally given a second chance at a new life in the final sequel to the Beach Party franchise, made after the Death of Harvey Lembeck in 1982.
Nekomu Otogi returns home to find Kosuke Fujishima frantic as he has no idea what the hell happened to her, or why Harvey Lembeck was running around the offices at Kodansha Ltd.
The End.
Harvey Lembeck Officer Natsumi Tsujimoto Test Animation Cells
Sometimes it helps me get the Creative Thought Processes going by doing Test Animation Cells so I can get some kind of visual going for what my story is. At the present moment, I was going to do test cells with Harvey Lembeck for Officer Tsujimoto, Sayoko, or Belldandy, all three of which would have resulted in the creation of Three Completely different movies, but my instincts are telling me that if I made the conscious decision to work on Officer Tsujimoto first, then subconsciously that means that my first choice is the choice I really want to go with and my other choices are just being wishy washy.
Von Zipper Breaks Loose is a Yakuza Gang War Spoof, so have an Irritated Buddy Cop and an Gang Leader Motorcyclist kind of makes sense. That does change the story line. So the Marller Gang and Doctor What drop kick Eric Von Zipper into the middle of Chiba Prefecture Japan where he is picked up wandering the streets by the Police Officers from You're Under Arrest. When Eric Von Zipper runs off, Officer Tsujimoto is stuck with him in the Bad Side of Town without a vehicle, it starts to get dark, and then they witness a Yakuza Murder like the Denis Leary Movie Judgment Night.
Taking this film one step at a time, my own writing thoughts right now are a Dialogue Exchange between Von Zipper and Yakuza Mike where he pits Movie Budgets and Creativity between two different directions as a sort of back in forth contest. Who did it better? Roger Corman or James Wan from SAW.
Eric Von Zipper represents the Past of Teenage Entertainment, back when it was innocent and if you wanted to watch a Horror Movie you got The Pit and the Pendulum with Vincent Price.
James Wan represents where Teenage Entertainment went. No more Happy Frankie Avalon Teenage Bikini Films, just gloomy Torture Porn Horror movies like SAW, Dead Silence, The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Nun, Insidious, Malignant, Aquaman. They are not bad movies at all. The Allegory presented throughout the SAW series that Jigsaw is really an Arch Angel of Fate Anti-Hero punishing Criminals who escape the law is pretty interesting and the SAW movies themselves are just theatrical versions of Police Television shows like Criminal Minds with more Gore. That's the basis for the Dialogue scene that I'm thinking off.
As for Von Zipper himself, I want to treat his comedy dialogue in the same manner as the fish out of water comedy done in The Brady Bunch Movie from the 1990s. Everybody else in this movie may have a dirty sense of humor and a foul mouth, but Harvey Lembeck is a total sweetheart and never breaks character. They keep trying to push him to see if they can get him to lower himself to their level, but he doesn't. Because he's a Class Act from the 1960s. Harvey Lembeck was not raised on Matt Stone and Trey Parker like Kevin Neece was.
