First, you must have a hero in some crappy job or bad situation, but with some kind of military background...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Honey, I really am glad that you gave up being a green beret navy paratrooper... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I know, honey - I'll always be here for you and the kids. Gotta go! Those toilets won't clean themselves! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Next two items: a ludicrously unlikely setting for the action, and some kind of high-profile hostage or hostages...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Ah, what a great job. Cleaning toilets here in the world's first glass-domed underseas city is fantastic... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Help! Help! A team of highly-trained terrorists and/or supercriminals has taken the Pope hostage as he was touring the undersea city! They demand that Baywatch go back into production! Fiends!!! | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Okay, now you need some kind of non-American villain, a lot of gunplay, some kind of deadline, a threat to a member of the hero's family...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Now, estranged son of the toilet cleaner who hounds me... die! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No, Dad will rescue me and we'll have an emotional reconciliation! | |
 | |  |
