Worst Plot Summary Ever

    For your reading pleasure...this is the plot summary for the 1993 television movie Percy & Thunder that was directed by Ivan Dixon, as seen on the Wikipedia page for the film.


Percy (James Earl Jones) and Thunder (Courtney B. Vance) have been with themselves around the past so they are finding it. Percy and Thunder meets with Leatherhead (Mick E. Jones) a corrupt boss and VFW Refree (Ron Shipp) are having a fight against Percy and Thunder to commit it. Percy takes Thunder and Leatherhead and VFW Refree to let Percy know he has to track down an Assassin and then Percy finds the assassins outside and then fights and kills them and tells Leatherhead assignment is done. Percy and Thunder tells Leatherhead and VFW Refree to see them later. Percy goes to find Promoter (Mike Finneran) to know he is bored and then knows the answers and then can use it anytime. Percy and Promoter take a road trip down the road and then they view what's on the road. Percy and Promoter find the helicopter and then all the targets arrive and then Percy knocks out all the targets and then returns to Promoter. Percy tells Promoter that it's good to spend time with itself to know when it's time for it.


   That is verbatim. 

   There may be a couple of reasons that this plot summary is, well, gibberish. English may not be the first language of the writer (maybe the writer's first language is Gaelic, or Urdu, or maybe Vulcan, and whatever software they used for the translation to English was a bit dodgy). Or maybe it was written by a completely whacked-out AI program (ChatGPT?).

   It's not possible that this was the pitch used to sell the project to the studio, is it? No way, inconceivable. Not even the most coked-out producer in all of Hollywood would have bit on this one.

   Of course, a producer once listened to the pitch for C.H.U.D. and that movie got made, so I could be wrong.
