The "Operation: Raccoon City" Special That Never Happened

Digging through my old files tonight. Found a funny one that was meant to be a promotional video for Resident Evil Operation: Raccoon City.

This hilarious affront to the gods of gaming.
When ORC was still in its promotional phase, we had some connections to CAPCOM and used them to pitch an idea that we'd shoot a small comedy introduction video for the six playable USS characters. The story was conceptualized by Simmons, and I wrote up the script. It involved HUNK and Night Hawk (a USS pilot erroneously renamed 'Lone Wolf' in ORC) searching for people to recruit to Delta Team.

I would be playing HUNK, Simmons would be Night Hawk. I had actors lined up for every other role, and locations as well, but ultimately communications with CAPCOM fell through the cracks and so we never shot it.

There are some nice ASSIST ME! references here, and I think the comedy's decent. This is the rough draft of the script, but enjoy it!
