February 13, 1984. This draft is cut even further probably due to the results of the timing by the script supervisor. As you can see, this draft is the shortest one yet and I feel it went too far to accommodate budget. I’m glad this was not made. Mr. Benjamin left the project to shoot a movie with Clint Eastwood and actually used a song from this script and also a similar scene. We were not happy about that.

At this point the project languished for several years and we went on to our next project, which was TOP GUN. In fact, we were writing TOP GUN during the same time we were doing revisions for Walter Hill and Dick Benjamin.
