Dog Soldiers
Back when I did my genre mash up run down on the Twitch-O-Meter I threw in a little note that fans of Bangkok Loco could expect far, far stranger from Pink - that film’s director - next time out. Well, I’ve just gotten the okay to share news on what his plans are, so brace yourself for Mr. Duck Fight!
A post-bird flu martial arts fantasy, Mr. Duck Fight is the story of a martial arts mallard buried and left for dead in a bird flu cull who re-emerges and - in disguise - becomes a champion in the world of illegal cock fighting.
“Cock fighting is a sport that has been an attraction for many years. It is seen in virtually every country. What will happen if a duck must conceal it‚Äôs identity to fight with cocks? What will happen if that duck falls in love with a chicken? It is merely a duck. In the end where the movie climaxes, the duck must fight with a goose that had also concealed it‚Äôs identity as a fighting cock as well. Chicken, duck, or goose? Who will win ? And why does the swan raise a challenge at the end. The problem of the influenza bird flu virus also takes hold of a world population with no remedy in sight.”
Not only am I not making this up, but I’ve got production sketches to share. Mr Duck Fight Sketch One. Mr. Duck Fight Sketch Two. Mr Duck Fight Sketch Three. Mr Duck Fight Sketch Four. Mr Duck Fight Sketch Five. Mr Duck Fight Sketch Six.
If there’s anyone out there who could pull off this madness it’s Pink, but production is stalled right now while they look for financing partners. If there are any brave souls out there with money to spend on some inspired lunacy drop me a line via the contact form and I’ll put you in touch.

This has made me so happy!
Unfortunately I am poor and any money I do suddenly come into is being used to buy the Royal

Is it any odder than KUNG FU GECKO? Okay, maybe a little.

So is this supposed to be live action or animation?

I believe the plan is live action, though obviously there would have to be a lot of animation of one sort or another as well. They’re projecting a budget of about two million US.
