    Thanks for the help guys.

    And the Judges mentioned are in the 2000 AD mould. It's the same script I was talking about a few months ago.

    I finished the trilogy in about a month (after about six months of the story changing and changing) and am now revising the first part. I've really changed the structure, as I was unhappy about certain things and wanted to tie up some loose ends. Whereas my lead character learnt to fight as he went along, I found it wasn't realistic enough, and added a sub-plot whereas he new how to do it all along.

    I'm also trying to refine the dialogue as it all comes across as very preachy (and Matrix-y) and that's not really what I want.

    But again, thanks for all your help.

    I'm a huge 2000ad fan going all the way back to the early 80s. I'd love to read your script(s) if you have no objections.

    Ok, you've got a point kevo. Many producers like to speedread. In fact reading screenplays is what it's all about. But I think there's some sort of consensus between they fight and a detailed fight.

    Perhaps something. They start fighting, then the biggest actions in the fight which mean something, some development, and then the big finishing off.

    Perhaps the reason why hunderds of movies have the final fight between the protagonist and antagonist end with the protagonist losing first, then winning, then giving mercy and then finally killing the antagonist after all because the antagonist wanted to shoot him in the back is because the writers wrote: the fight.

    Kiff-Kroker-Yeah you can read it.

    Again, it's an early draft, but then I guess you might be able to give me some criticism.

    By the way, don't know whether you're a dedicated fan, but unlike the Judges in 2000 AD, which are anti-heroes, these Judges are just bastards. The good guys are the anti-heroes (cyberpunk assasin-hacker dudes)but again, I'm re-working the script.

    Give me a week or so to get it over to you (will be a text document unless you specify that yu have final draft 6)

    As he falls to the ground, the path is paved for three tall, muscular Judges to pick him up and toss him along the ground like a rag doll.
