by
Mike,Judge,and,Joe,Stillman
The,movie,begins,with,scenes,of,people,screaming,in,horror,
and,running,down,the,streets,of,a,big,city.,The,ground,shakes,from,
what,seems,like,giant,footsteps.,There,are,pieces,of,building,
debris,falling,everywhere,people,getting,crushed,power,lines,
coming,down,etc.,-,complete,pandemonium.,It,all,looks,very,much,
like,a,Japanese,animated,King-Kong,or,Godzilla,movie.,We,hear,the,
footsteps,getting,closer,and,the,ground,shaking,becomes,more,
intense,-,more,debris,falling.,Then,we,see,a,HUGE,BLACK,TENNIS,
SHOE,come,into,frame,and,smash,a,National,Guard,truck.,As,we,pan,
up,we,see,the,white,socks,then,the,red,shorts,the,AC/DC,T-
shirt,then,we,hear,the,familiar,"Huh,huh,huh.",-,only,it's,a,
huge,sound...this,is,a,THREE-HUNDRED,FOOT,TALL,BUTT-HEAD.,"Butt-
Kong",continues,his,path,of,destruction,-,stomping,on,cars,and,
buildings,and,saying,"This,is,cool.,Huh,huh,huh."
Airplanes,and,tanks,start,firing,at,Butt-Head,(Butt-Kong).,
He,looks,irritated,and,says,"Cut,it,out,butt-munch!",Butt-Head,
swats,at,the,planes,sending,them,crashing,to,the,ground,and,
stomps,on,the,tanks.,Then,something,catches,his,eye.,Butt-Head,
reaches,into,a,skyscraper,and,picks,up,a,nice,looking,woman,-,a,
lot,like,the,one,from,the,King,Kong,movie.,He,looks,down,at,her,in,
his,hand,and,goes,wide-eyed,"Whoa!,Huh,huh,huh.",The,woman,
screams,in,terror,as,Butt-Head,looks,down,at,her,and,tries,a,few,
lame,pick,up,lines.,"Uuuuh...Hey,baby.,I'm,like,pretty,tall.,Huh,
huh,huh.",He,swats,down,a,helicopter,that,is,circling,his,head,
"Dammit,I'm,trying,to,score!",The,helicopter,goes,down,in,flames.,
We,CUT,TO,some,guys,sitting,on,a,tank,firing,at,him.,They,notice,
giant,footsteps,coming,from,the,other,direction,and,turn,the,tank,
around.,Through,their,binoculars,we,see,a,THREE-HUNDRED,FOOT,
BEAVIS,coming,from,the,horizon.,The,giant,Beavis,is,even,more,
destructive,than,Butt-Kong,(maybe,he,could,be,breathing,fire).,
Beavis,starts,trying,to,pick,up,on,Butt-Head's,woman.,Butt-Head,
puts,the,woman,down,and,he,and,Beavis,begin,to,go,at,it,leveling,
the,city,with,one,of,their,stupid,juvenile,smack-fights.
