Tournament - Piranhas vs. Captain Nemo

[Culwych1]

PIRANHAS ON A SUBMARINE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blurb

The year is 1866 and there is only one true master of the sea; a groundbreaking futuristic submarine named the Nautilus. At the helm of this scientific marvel is Captain Nemo (Johnny Depp), a man driven by his obsession and haunted by his demons. Braving storms, pirates, and sea creatures, Nemo is joined by his wise second-in-command (Sylvester Stallone), quick witted engineer (Eddie Murphy), combat-ready sonar technician (Jackie Chan) and the rest of his crew as they face their greatest test yet.

On their latest mission returning from the deepest parts of the Atlantic Ocean, the submarine starts losing power and, as water starts pouring in, they uncover the prehistoric nightmare that has just been waiting for them – inside the Nautilus!

[Movie Scene 43C Outline]

INT. Nautilus Deck 1, Engineering Room

Scene opens to a man standing in a submarine corridor in front of a cabin door. He looks suspiciously left and right. Nobody is around so he opens the door, steps through and closes it behind him with a soft CLANG.

Man gives a big smile.

In front of him is a beautiful woman (Ed. Note; man has smuggled the woman onboard the Nautilus at previous dock). She smiles at the man and slowly starts unbuttoning her dress, and then her bodice. Her clothes fall to the floor, and she is naked in front of man.

WOMAN

--- I’ve been waiting for you ---

MAN

--- Sorry, it took me a while. Had to make sure the coast was clear. ---

WOMAN

--- It’s not polite to keep a woman waiting you know ---

The man approaches woman with big grin and undresses. They begin to get familiar on a table.

Camera cuts to floor of the cabin. Water has begun to fill the room. Man and Woman do not notice as they are on the table.

Camera cuts to the table.

WOMAN (loudly)

--- OH! ----

MAN (loudly)

--- YEAH! ----

Camera cuts back to the floor, water has now filled the cabin and some shapes can be seen swimming around. It is almost up to the top of the table.

Camera cuts to table. Man sees the water and looks shocked.

MAN

--- OH MY GOD! ---

WOMAN

--- YES, YES, OH MY GOD! ----

MAN (pulling away, his hands on the edge of the table)

--- NO, THE WATER! ---

Woman looks disappointed and lies back, her hair floats in the water.

WOMAN (sighing)

--- Did you finish already? ---

Man is about to answer but a dark shape flashes past in the water. He lifts his hand, and all his fingers are gone. Red blood spurts all over the woman’s breasts and face.

WOMAN

--- EWWW!!!---

She tries to sit up, but something in the water has her hair. She struggles and is suddenly yanked backwards on the table, so that her head disappears under the water. Numerous dark shapes flash forward and surround her head in the water, and she jiggles about on the table.

MAN

---NO!---

Man grabs her arm with his good hand and lifts her up.

All the remains above her shoulders is a white grinning skull with bits of flesh sticking to it.

MAN

--- AAARRGGGHHH!!!---

He lets go of the body and jerks back. He loses his balance on the table and topples into the water.

Dark shapes surround him, and the water turns red with blood. Bones start floating to the surface.

Scene ends with the cabin door bursting open and water, blood, and bones flooding out into the corridor.

Critic Reviews

***** Jackie Chan’s performance as bumbling sonar technician “Ping” is outstanding, you can absolutely see why he is up for the Best Supporting Actor.

***** The unexpected and uncredited cameo by Ryan Reynolds as the Humanoid Piranha King was a stroke of pure genius.

**** There are ‘bite-sized’ thrills that will leave you ‘hooked’ from beginning to end!

***** The beautiful soundtrack for this movie left me in tears! Who would have expected that a Taylor Swift and Slipknot collaboration would have worked so well.

User Reviews

*** Awesome acting, awesome FX – blockbusterRus

This film had it all. Explosions and guts, terror and action. The chemistry between the actors was amazing, particularly between Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler who chewed up the scenery at every opportunity.

**** Some scenes of pure gold – soccermom69

I could not get over how good this movie was. The scene where Eddie Murphy and Leonardo DiCaprio sing karaoke to distract the piranhas was brilliant, and there were even moments that made me cry. Luckily, I was making an apple pie at the time so I had something to cheer me up afterwards.  

** Not what I was expecting! – boxingfan123

Having seen that Stallone was in this, I was expecting a boxing movie. Apart from a couple of moments involving fish being punched in the face, there was barely any boxing. Avoid it if you are a fan of boxing, which I love.

Very interesting write-up Culwych.

I’ll vote Nemo.

[JohnnyChany]

Great idea and execution, Culwych.

One note: I can go with Christopher Nolan and Tarantino working together and I am even intrigued by Taylor Swift and Slipknot, but there is no way the studio lets DiCaprio be that low on the marquee, even if he is only in a few scenes LOL.

Also, I first thought of Cillian Murphy when I saw the cast because of his connection to Nolan, and I thought good for him, but Eddie Murphy makes more sense given the rest of the cast. 

As for the fight, Captain Nemo prevails with lots of casualties. 

DEATH PREDICTIONS

Depp - Survives

Stallone - Dies

Murphy - Survives

Chan - Survives, is true hero of story

Pitt - Thought dead, but revealed to have survived

Cruise - Dies in epic action scene where Cruise demands to swim with real piranhas

Freeman - Dies with DeNiro

DeNiro - Dies with Freeman

Cheadle - Survives

DiCaprio - Is 1st suprise victim. Dies.

Sandler - Survives to the end, is killed in post credit scene.

Haha, great predictions! 

I should really have had both Murphy's in there - some really interesting interactions from those two stuck on an old piranha infested submarine. 

[DSkillz]

Great entry and very interesting concept for a match, Culwych.  The cast looks something someone would cook up for one of those A.I. "movie trailers". 

As for the match, it's kinda hard to go against Johnny's predictions here. I'll also say that Depp-Nemo gets the Nautilus through this piranha invasion, though not without casualties. The Nautilus has been through worse.
