Think about it... You're the head of the local Outlaw Biker gang and one day you meet the girl of your dreams at your favorite hangout, The Candy Store. Then she turns around and smiles at you (get the picture?) and the last thing you can imagine happening is it ending crashing into a brick wall at 100 mph after getting unceremoniously dumped?
I mean, What did Jimmy really do wrong to deserve ending up this way? And what about his poor motorcycle? Talk about the cruel world we live in...
Maybe someone should write a follow-up song about Jimmy and his poor bike???

Yeah, seems with less technology the better the musical was. I loved that song as a child and the others they did as well..
RIP Mary Weiss.

I was thinking a good follow-up song to "Leader Of The Pack" could be a modern Rap version where the poor motorcycle is given a voice to warn Jimmy about the ditzy blonde he just met..
But when you think about it, the song really is a movie script, you would think someone would have noticed that by now..
Could still be an interesting flic.

Here a movie script idea.. Jimmy meets Mary at The Candy Store, not knowing that the leader of a rival Outlaw Biker gang also has his eyes on sweet Mary. So she starts dating both of them now knowing of the potential political consequences involved and that ends in a massive shootout between both biker gangs over Mary..
And Jimmy gets killed in the shoot-out, the one that Mary loved more. So the other surviving rival leader now thinks he has finally won Mary's heart and she leads him on to believe that until the moment comes when she pumps 6 rounds into him from her ,38 Smith & Wesson revolver that Jimmy gave her...
How am I doing so far?

What makes that song great is the absolutely timeless melody.

I had never heard that original song before, but my brother had a huge pile of 45s that somebody gave him out of a bunch of jukeboxes, and that song was on the top of the pile, lol

Back to the movie script. First a few changes are in order. The lead character is Betty, not Mary (My mistake) and Jimmy does survive the shootout over her for the sequel,,
So in the sequel, Betty is nursing poor Jimmy back to health while at the same time starting her own Outlaw female Biker Gang called "The Hot Chixx" (Get the picture?) that doubles as entourage of the singing act Betty is connected to called "The Serial Killers.." Then one of the members is being recruited by a renowned Pimp that Betty informs Jimmy about, who is know well enough to ride his motorcycle again and he bestows the "coup de gras" on the degenerate thus saving Betty from having to do the job herself.
So as the movie progresses the local newspapers are filled with stories of Pimps and their like meeting very violent endings and then one day, a young lady asks to join Betty's Biker gang and informs Betty that she was victimized as a young girl by none other than Jeffery Epstein... (Yeah, that Jeffrey...)
So that's how the sequel ends.. Any thoughts on how the script should go in the final movie that will complete the trilogy about Betty and Jimmy, the "Leader Of The Pack"?

No movie script types here I see.
Well for the final movie, bringing the Jeffrey Epstein angle would have to be done a bit more subtly. A parallel reality approach in a sense, where the names changes but current political scene is the same.
So the "Serial Killers" become the biggest grossing act in the world with Betty even having her own line of 'Signature S&W six-shooters" with her female fans buy them up in droves. (And at the same time rapes and assaults and against young women take a huge dive..)
And also at the same time people named in the biggest human trafficking drams suddenly start disappearing.., hmnnn.
So we got great music, hot looking chicks, equal opportunity outlaw biker gangs, and plenty of violence and political intrigue... Could be some decent movies IMHO..

For my college years I started as an English Education major. After that I switched to Screenwriting. Ended up in communication studies with a focus on journalism because I wanted to be a rock critic. However about 6 months before I graduated, I got into my guitar and never used my degree at all for squat.
Somewhere there's a place for your movie, Gregg. It's on you to write a script and make it happen.

Well if you had a clue Scott, the chance of getting a movie script produced are about 10,000+ times harder than getting a song on the radio.
But I've had a few good ideas in the past. Probably the best one was a running joke among a few pranksters I corrupted at a Limo service I once worked for. We were always on the lookout for a former driver named "Tomasz Krusinski" trying to get his job back after he walked out on us a many years earlier during the busiest time at the airport.
So when the latest sighting of this loser trying to get his job back at Metro Car would occur, the new drivers would always ask, who is this person???
And or course we would respond.., "You never heard of Tomasz Krusinski???." And then we would get them to Anglicize the name which of course would translate to "Tom Cruise.." (And many of them actually fell for it..)
And there were at least four other plots going on besides TC trying to get his job back, could have been a great movie. And who knows, being a member of the CCHR.org at the time and having a few close contacts in the industry, there was an outside chance I could have gotten a script to him, not likely though.
And if he liked it and could accept a minor role in a movie with most proceeds going to the CoS you never know, it might have happened.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda.. Oh well.

I have an idea about making a movie about this book about a supernatural situation that happened in the 60s but I have 2 many other projects so it's waaaay on the backburner. Recently started writing a book.

Well mine was going to be called "Metro Star Sedan" with the main plot being about this African American guy I worked with who looked like movie star but eyes were always teared up, supposedly by some rare medical condition.
In the opening scene he gets let out of prison and returns home to find out that his wife is now married to his brother who runs him off the property immediately after he arrives. (There is a touching scene however where the family dog bids him a tearful good-bye..)
So he's walking alone, his world crushed when he decides to end it all by going over a bridge. But as he begins that a lady name Marina pulls up laying on the horn asking him for directions for her pick-up to the airport. (Marina was a beautiful Russian born woman with very broken English)
So as that progresses he gets into the car to guide her to her pick-up and sure enough 3 large suitcases are parked in the drive that neither Marina or the passenger can handle so he agrees to load them into the car and go onto the airport so he can also unload them also on arrival.
So the elderly passenger is very impressed with his kindness and slips him a few $100 bills which gives him some pause for his earlier plans. And also Marina is called back to the office to end her shift and sensing something is wrong with her new found friend, brings him to the office to introduce him to her manager and share how helpful he was on her last fare..
Want to hear more???

Well to briefly summarize the entire plot, the main focus was the political intrigue going on between two large sectors of the transportation industry for control of the airport, and ends very happily with two formal rivals becoming friends and Tom Cruise finally getting his job back at Metro Star Sedan.
You see, in the movie version, working at "Metro Star Sedan" was the greatest achievement one could hope for in life, something TC had to learn the hard way.
And many of the parts would have been played by the people I actually worked with playing themselves like Stas for example, a cool Russian guy dreaming of the Hammer & Sickle flying over the White House and especially my manager David, who had the coolest bit part in the entire movie.
If only it could have been done.. In the sequel the main character, the prisoner guy, is recruited for a career in politics.. Now that one could have gotten interesting..
Ugh..
