This is an exercise mainly for those who watched (liked) the movie. I dunno if it was based on a book.
This was inspired by the Running Man thread, which had lots of discussion about fake passports.
If you don’t remember, I’ll try to give the super-distillation:
- Chinese Assassin in Los Angeles is hired for revenge on a cop: The kid must die in his arms. Assassin can’t stoop so low; aborts the job. For defying Boss’ orders, he knows he and his family will be targeted. Assassin needs fake passports to get to China, collect his mother and sister, and take them out of the country. So he goes to a forger.
- Boss has hired replacements to find & kill assassin plus finish his job on the cop’s kid. All hell breaks loose when Assassin & Forger meet The Replacement Killers. So forger & assassin have more assassins chasing them plus cops trying to investigate and stop the carnage that keeps happening when these guys all get together (really, it’s worse than some of the UCLA vs USC tailgate parties I’ve seen).
- Assassin and Forger prevent the kid-killing, take out the replacement killers and, for good measure, take out Boss. Movie ends with Assassin and Forger parting ways at an airport.
So I watched that movie yet again the other night and once again thought “It’s either the actors’ skills or the director’s talent or the way the story is written, but in any case these two have a great dynamic between them. I wish there could be a sequel.”
So: Write me a sequel plot & story outline.

Assassin and Forger have ended up as the ‘Good Guys’ but need not stay that way. The point is that they have a host of killer instincts (literally) and skill/training, plus underworld/street smarts and possible connections in low places (with attendant reliability problems). Find a plausible (or semi-plausible; it’s an action-thriller after all) reason for these two to get back together and shoot a lot of guns and blow a lot of stuff up. Ideally, they at least admit they more-than-like each other and don’t head their separate ways at the end. A bit more character/personality revelation and/or development would be nice for a sequel, as well but, hey, it’s another action-thriller after all. That might be asking too much.
Keep it clean – PG13-to-R level, not X or NC-17.
