King Kong Page #2
CRRUMMPP! JACK'S plane clips McKECKNIE'S and goes into an immediate
spin. JACK tries to regain control ... his right hand wing tip is in
tatters.
MATT sees his buddy going down and dives after him, blasting at a
COUPLE OF TRIPLANES that are closing in on the crippled CAMEL.
JACK uses all his strength to haul the control stick back and pull out
of the dive. He is dangerously close to the ground - the shell torn
landscape of NO MA/s LAND. MATT levels out along side as JACK loses his
last few feet of height and smashes into the ground. His undercarriage
breaks away and the CAMEL slides to a stop in the mud.
JACK leans back in the cockpit, his nose bloody from the crash, but
otherwise unharmed ...
BANG] BANG! BANG! Machine gun bullets suddenly rip into his plane -
GERMAN SOLDIERS are firing at him from the trenches! The Camel BURSTS
INTO FLAME as bullets puncture the gas tank.
JACK quickly rolls out of the cockpit and crawls away just as MATT
roars low overhead, STRAFING the MACHINE GUN NEST with a withering
stream of tracer fire.
JACK'S plane EXPLODES ... he slides safely into a muddy SHELL HOLE,
pulling his SERVICE REVOLVER out of the holster. JACK rips his FLYING
HELMET & GOGGLES off ... we see that he is just a 17 YEAR OLD KID.
From out of the THICK BLACK PLUME OF SMOKE from the burning plane,
MATT'S SOPWITH CAMEL suddenly appears, gliding very low ... he's
attempting to land!
MATT carefully guides the plane between shell holes and almost gets
away with the landing ... just as the plane slows to a stop, it hits a
coil of BARBED WIRE and FLIPS ON IT'S BACK! MATT releases his seat-
blet, falls to the ground and pulls off his FLYING HELMET ... MATT is
about 20 years old.
MATT:
(yelling)
JACK!
MATT races towards the BURRING WRECKAGE ... GUNFIRE from the German
trenches kicks the mud up around his feet and he dives forward into a
large SHELLHOLE.
JACK:
Matt!
MATT'S only a few yards away from JACK, but they have to stay in their
respective shellholes as a ground shaking volley of ARTILLERY FIRE
THUNDERS around them.
JACK (CONT'D)
(yelling)
What the hell are you doing?
MATT:
(yelling)
Saving your lousy ass!
JACK:
(yelling)
You're not saving anybody! You're in the sh*t like me!
MATT and JACK start CHUCKLING.
MATT hears a LOW NOISE, turns around and SCREAMS ...
LOW ANGLE POV A burly GERMAN SOLDIER rams his BAYONET towards CAMERA.
CLOSE ON MATT'S FACE ... he gasps in shock as he is stabbed in the
stomach.
JACK (CONT'D)
(shocked yell)
MATT???
JACK staggers over the top of the shellhole, confronting the THREE
GERMAN SOLDIERS who have descended on MATT. He FIRES HIS REVOLVER at
them ... killing each SOLDIER.
