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!
The writers:
Paul Rust (actor, “I Love You Beth Cooper;” currently co-writing the new Pee-Wee Herman movie)
Kulap Vilaysack (co-host, “Who Charted?” podcast; actress, “Childrens Hospital”)

Harris Wittels (writer, “Parks and Recreation,” “The Sarah Silverman Program,” “Eastbound & Down”)
Neil Campbell (UCB Theatre LA Artistic Director; writer, “Mike Detective”)
Scott Aukerman (host, “Comedy Bang Bang;” writer, “Mr. Show;” co-creator, “Between Two Ferns”)

This ridiculous screenplay is seriously greater than the sum of every single entry in the Rocky and Rambo franchises.
