My great movie idea...

Title of movie:
"Harry and Axel"

Plot summery:
Harry Callahan (from the "Dirty Harry" movies) is only seven days from retirement when he is reluctantly partnered with Axel Foley (from the "Beverly Hill Cop" movies). Now it is up to these two notorious detectives to track down and stop a bomb-planting ex-C.I.A. agent while at the same time avoid being killed by various assassins hired by mobsters to kill Callahan.

The movie preview would go something like this:
- Shot of exploding building.
- Footage from car chase.
- A clever remark by Callahan followed by a snappy comeback by Foley.
- Another explosion
- A shot of an angry mobster yelling "I want Callahan and Foley DEAD!!!"
- Callahan firing his signature 44 magnum
- Truck explosion
- Shot of sexy women dancing in a night club.
- A clever remark by Foley followed by a snappy comeback by Callahan.
- Gun fight
- Helicopter crash
- Ends with Foley's signature laugh.

What do you all think? Would you go see it? Do you think it would make money?

Would I see it? Certainly not - its far to cliche and formulaic. Would it make money - Most certainly - its cliche and formulaic!

At the very least, it might interest more people than my idea for a police movie. Think an episode of "COPS" shot on VHS where the police are trying to hunt down a criminal that can use movie physics. (and thus action scenes are in film with the different color palette) Much of the movie focuses on real police work - debriefings and such where they go over evidence and remark about the impossibility of what goes on - no one can fire 2 mac-10s at once for 30 seconds straight. (1. Recoil, 2. 1100 rpm firing rate, 3. 30 round clip - 1.2 seconds of fire!), cars can't explode, etc. Finally, after 90 min of deconstructing action movies, the main character uses the cliches of a bond film against the villain, and walks off into the sunset.

Its based on a gimmick, and discussion of real life physics. I am a Geek.
