Soda Jerk Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I like the term "Loose Cannon". Did I mention that?The Wire would be at least a hundred times better if it contained a cop cliche per every 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's difficult to describe the dismay Cannon, played by Lawrence, will have to facially express when Glover tells him he's suspended with full pay indefinitely for driving a tank over the mayor's beach house to save some dame from being kneecapped by mobsters. Cannon doesn't need the money. He'd prefer a bank account full of justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphas Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Right, so far we have the following:Working title - Pop Cops / The Bus That Couldn't Slow DownActual title - Loose CannonPlot - Marcus Cannon (Martin Lawrence) is tough city cop but after an incident involving a tank (in which he still apprehends the villain) gets his piece and shield (as they say) taken away by Danny Glover, his no bullshit senior. Cannon opens a strip bar called "Loose Cannons" and descends into a course of self destruction and drinking too much. Gary Busey orders a hit on his dog prompting Cannon to seek revenge with the assistance of his tough-guy cop buddys - Messrs McLean, Drebbin et al. However, the evil Busey (we need a villain name!) sets them up and puts them in a Running Man style game with no weapons prompting them to take out henchmen with their fists and acid tongues.I think Gary Busey should own a cat, which he strokes constantly. Hence his need to take out Cannon's dog.It's coming together!To keep it relevant though, favourite word - cannons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berti Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Cannon! MY OFFICE! NOW!That has a ring to it.upon being called into glover's office he will undoubtedly be told that he is 'out of line' or as previously mentioned, 'out of your jurisdiction',cannon will then precede to offer a 'caaarrazzzaayyyy' method of solving the problem at hand, only for glover to look at him incredulously and tell him 'you're out of your mind' cue cannon storming off giving the impression he will do it anyway with glover following him to the doorway and shouting CANNON! YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH! down the corridor after him. scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I like this movie. Marcus Cannon is a fucking brilliant name for the hero, although I kind of expected it to be a 'JB', like so many others.Jack BauerJason BourneJames Bond...er....Jamesy Bruce?

paranoid Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 racking brain for any more cliches for that scene but struggling at the moment...A smouldering scowl filmed in the rear view mirror.Plate glass/watermelons/chickens being destroyed.Fire Hydrant getting twatted and shooting water up in the air followed by the pathetic, laughable attempts of the window wipers to clear aforementioned deluge.Kid on bike/woman pushing pram escaping near certain death very narrowly.Smashing through road works/road closed signs.Locale specific vehicles. Fiats for Italy, Citroens for France, BMWs for Germany, Rovers for the UK. Every car on the street MUST be from the same marque, makes it much more believable. I'm going to make my own film, and it will just be a 2 hour car chase. I loves car chases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 The 3rd of the Loose Cannon series is just screaming out to be Loose Cannon Behind Bars. Whilst serving up justice, he goes way too far out of his jurisdiction that even the loveable hard-ass Glover can't tolerate his actions, and our hero is jailed. The audience begin to lose faith in Cannon, and are almost depicting him as a baddie, as he leads the way to a possible break-out. He dismantles himself from the break-out vigilante at the very last opportunity, and saves the prison warden from a violent ambush. Will he be rewarded with freedom for such a courageous act? He'd respond to his freedom reward with an ultra cool dance, like in Blue Streak when he finishes delivering the pizzas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Has Marcus' drink problem been discussed? No? Good. The movie shall gloss over that too, A man with an apartment that untidy, with that many chinese takeaway boxes strewn all over, must be an alcoholic. The foxy femme fatale shall at one point visit his apartment. Marcus will attempt to quickly make it presentable in a bid to impress said lady. This will come across as endearing and cute rather than just plain minging and shall bring out her maternal side... eventually leading to sax accompanied fucking.

Why, it's none other than Gary Busey's right hand man from Loose Cannon 1! The man he put behind bars after a ten minute mixed martial arts fight. (baddie draws his finger against his own throat when Cannon spots him).Our hero is going to have to play all characters off each other in this one just to survive!
