<blockquote>
<p>[Close-up shot of a small puddle on pavement at night, rain drops
falling in, creating widening circles of ripples. Reflections of
passing car lights shimmer in. Soft, ominous cello music.]</p>

<p>Announcer: "In a city that believes itself safe...</p>

<p>[Panning out a bit from the puddle. One darker blood drop falls in,
soon followed by more, breaking the rhythm of the rain drops and
staining the puddle.]</p>

<p>Announcer: "... A brutal killer stalks..."</p>

<p>[Shot of a couple of police cars parked haphazardly near a dock crane
along a pier. Gray morning light, dark roiling cloud masses, wet
shimmer of recent rain on everything. Music switched to more
electronic, rhythmic theme.]</p>

<p>Cop #1, calling out: "Ah shit! I got a hand here! "</p>

<p>Cop #2, muttering in his to-go coffee cup: "Fuck, I don't get paid near
enough for this..."</p>

<p>Cop #3, to Detective Romero: "That's most of the body, then. I think
we're still missing a hand and one leg below the knee. Homeless guy,
looks like."</p>

<p>Romero, eyes narrowed: "Uh-huh..."</p>

<p>Announcer: "... In his wake he brings war..."</p>

<p>[Shot of two very expensively dressed businessmen, smoking in the
entrance of an Art Deco building. Sergei is older, with a greying
mustache, and smoking a cigar; Dmitri is younger, dark hair slicked
back, and smokes a cigarette; both wear shiny Rolex watches and gold
cufflinks.]</p>

<p>Sergei, with strong Russian accent: "Are you sure about this?"</p>

<p>Dmitri, quietly, with much lighter accent: "Yes, sir."</p>

<p>Sergei throws cigar stub to the wet ground and stomps angrily on it.
"Is that ''piska'' coming to kill me? ''Ni khuja''!"</p>

<p>Announcer: "... Cop against criminal..."</p>

<p>[Shot of Romero aiming at a fleeing suspect. Music picks up a
suspenseful beat.]</p>

<p>Romero: "Freeze, asshole!"</p>

<p>Annoucer: "... Have against have-nots..."</p>

<p>[Shot of Jaydee, a large black man, swinging a pipe length against
another expensively dressed man whose shot with a Makharov PMM pistol
goes wide.]</p>

<p>Jaydee: "You motherfucker, you gonna pay for what you did to Buzz!"</p>

<p>Announcer: "... Yakuza against Mafiya..."</p>

<p>[Shot of Takamura Kane doing an impossibly nimble sidestep as two men
dressed in black suits reach for him, then dealing one of them a
lightning-quick chop to the neck.]</p>

<p>Takamura: "Can't we be reasonable about this?"</p>

<p>Announcer: "... Old against young..."</p>

<p>[Shot of 12-year old Terry Yin deftly avoiding a backslap from aging
grandfather.]</p>

<p>Terry: "But grampa! You can't just let them take your shop!"</p>

<p>Announcer: "...Brother against sister..."</p>

<p>[Shot of Tatjana and Sergei facing off, leveling pistols at one
another. Music comes to a crashing halt.]</p>

<p>Sergei: "You're either with me or dead, ''shalava''!!"</p>

<p>Announcer: "... and master against puppet."</p>

<p>[Shot from a high-rise window looking down upon the city at twilight;
the skyline is recognizable as Seattle's. A large red fire is glowing
near the waterfront, and the lights from emergency vehicles are flashing
artound its perimeter.]</p>

<p>Low voice from off-camera, not clearly recognizable as male or female:
"And you say you have this under control."</p>

<p>Female voice from off-camera: "Yes. All the loose ends will be tied."</p>

<p>[Return to the puddle shot. As the camera pans out, the circular
ripples are expanding.]</p>

<p>Announcer: "... As wheels move within wheels, conspiracies within
conspiracies..."</p>

<p>[Quick shot of Takamura wheeling around to see half a dozen thugs behind
him.]</p>

<p>Announcer: "...This Christmas..."</p>

<p>[Shot of Terry pursued by a thug snatching the bell from a Salvation
Army volunteer, and whipping it around to hit the thug.]</p>

<p>Announcer: "...Seattle is definitely sleepless."</p>

<p>[Shot of the Pike Place Market, with Jaydee sending a shop counter and
its content of vegetables flying.]</p>

<p>[Pounding, X-treme music]</p>

<p>[Quick action shot of Terry throwing a large soda in a thug's face]<br>
[Quick action shot of Romero running, jumping on a car, running over its
hood and continuing his pursuit]<br>
[Quick action shot of Tatjana doing a mad side-jump to avoid a hail of
bullets and sliding across a wet floor as she pumps two H&K MP5 K's
worth of retaliation]<br>
[Quick action shot of Grampa doing a Flying Windmill Kick and sending a
thug reeling against a brick wall]<br>
[Quick action shot of Takamura back-handing an athletic-looking woman
with a blow that looks like it should break her neck.]</p>

<p>[Music and action stop.]</p>

<p>[Low shot of a man in his thirties with close-cropped beard, looking
down into the camera with a tight grin; behind him, dark gray sky and rain.]</p>

<p>Man: "Are you ready to help us?"</p>

<p>[Screen blackout.]</p>

<p>"FENG SHUI: RAIN OF BULLETS"<br>
COMING CHRISTMAS 2004</p>

<p>Announcer: "This film has not yet been rated."</p>
