EXT. TEXAS DESERT - DAY
A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY wearing chaps and a cowboy hat twirls his
toy six-guns. He aims and fires an imaginary shot into the
desert sun. A beautiful DARK-HAIRED WOMAN appears and scoops
the boy up into her arms.
SANDRA BANZAI
Buckaroo, it's time. Let's go wish
daddy luck, OK?
The boy smiles and kisses his mother, nodding his head
excitedly.
EXT. TEST LAUNCH SITE - DAY
A large TWO-MAN VEHICLE, sort of a rocket with wheels, is
being readied for departure by several ENGINEERS.
TWO MEN wearing flight-suits, one Caucasian and one Asian,
begin to climb into the vehicle, but the Asian man turns back
at the sound of his name:
Masado!
SANDRA BANZAI
Sandra carries Buckaroo over to Masado. He kisses his wife
and then takes his son and sets him on the ground. Masado
kneels so that he and Buckaroo are at eye level.
BUCKAROO BANZAI
I'm supposed to wish you luck.
MASADO BANZAI
Thank you, son. But when you
believe in what you're doing, you
don't need luck.
He kisses Buckaroo on the forehead and then stands. Father
and son bow to one another, and then Masado turns and climbs
into the vehicle, strapping in next to his co-pilot.
Sandra takes Buckaroo's hand and leads him to
EXT. BARRICADE - DAY
Where a young PROFESSOR TOICHI HIKITA stands at a bank of
monitoring equipment. He grins excitedly at Sandra and
Buckaroo as they enter.
SUDDENLY a red light begins to flash on the console and they
hear a LOUD BOOM on the runway. Sandra and Hikita look to see
SMOKE AND FLAMES pouring out of the vehicle's cockpit.
