The Dead Conquer Earth is one of the many titles for this site's interactive B-Film/fancfic started by Clockworkcanary. Starting off as mildly serious, it soon descended into random kraziness with many thanks to our more frequent writers, which is why a recap is necessary every once in a while for possible new contributers to use.

Jin is a 1980s throwback with a secret. All his girlfriends have fallen victim to his hideous curse of Penguin-Lycanthropy. However, recently Jin has found a girlfriend named Jasmine who does not seem to awaken the beast in him.

While taking the bus back to his apartment, Jin is met by two people, his childhood friend turned contract killer Aaron, and FBI agent Louis Dehoven. The latter orders the two off the bus and into an abandoned building, where he expresses a desire to kill the two, who Louis says are monsters.

Jin easily overcomes Louis, trapping him under a fallen roof and exit the building, only to be surrounded by a gang of vicious clowns and mimes!

It is then that Jin and Aaron discover each other's abilities when Jin transforms into his werepenguin form, and Aaron reveals that he can turn to sentient stone!

It is then that Pennywise himself faces Jin and Aaron, only to introduce their true opponent, Chuck Norris!

Fortunately for our heroes, Chuck's contract momentarily expires, leaving Pennywise for Aaron to defeat. On Pennywise's person, Jin and Aaron discover a pamphlet concerning Crigta, an evil foreign chrst and his horde of the dead. Jin and Aaron are then confronted by the Russian Valkerie-dressed woman Volga who begins to talk to the duo, before Dehoven returns, with more clowns, on a herd of bulls! After he is stopped in his tracks by the trio, he proclaims that he will cleanse the world of nonbelievers using innocent blood. Jin deduces Dehoven means his girlfriend Jasmine.

As Dehoven leaves, Norris returns, and is momentarily subdued by a random crotch kick encounter with Jean-Claude Van Damme, who kisses Volga and changes her from a fat Russian woman to a gorgeous Asian.

Volga drives the protagonists in a spacecraft to Venus to begin training by fighting tentacle monsters, only to again be confronted by the red-headed cowboy!

Meanwhile Dehoven returns to Uranus where Crigta lies dormant to plot his next move. Facing, his Big Boss and five other yet unnamed lackies (one is killed).

Jin Aaron and Volga face off with Chuck Norris, admitting he turned evil "Because he can do whatever he damn well pleases". Aaron, however reveals his secret weapon, a Blue-Haired cloned figure of Bruce Lee! The figure of Lee enlarges and easily defeats Chuck for good, kicking his skull in! Lee's fate is yet left open.

Later on Venus, Jin stumbles upon the cemetary of an Earth colony on Venus. He sees one tombstone belongs to none other than Marlon Brando! Jin mentions that defeating Dehoven's horde of the dead would be easier with Colonel Kurtz's help. So Volga resurrects Brando, along with an army of zombie Cambodians. These are soon followed by the arrival of a group of helpful doomtroopers loyal to Brando.

Jin learns from his mother that not only was he supposed to buy groceries, but that Brando may not be as good as he seems! This is made more apparent when Brando injects then with thermonuclear timebombs and forces them to infiltrate Uranus alone whilst Brando's army takes care of Crigta's footsoldiers.

Once inside the thick inner core of Uranus, Jin and Aaron find the holding cells where Jasmine and the other innocent virgin blood sacrifices are being kept. Including Jasmine's cellmate, Celina, who uses her powers of suction to remove the exploding devices.

Dehoven arrives with more troopers and takes the sacrifices away, leaving Aaron and Jin to face off with more assassins. One of whom kills Aaron (really only a rock clone).

Trying desperately to find inspiration in the past, Jin thinks back to his training with Master Jack Baytes, who attempted to teach him penguin martial arts. Only just passing him as his worst student.

As it turns out, Baytes was following his worst student out of guilt for not properly teaching him the skills necessary for combat. He arrives just in time to save Jin from the assassins. They escape after killing one and run to find Jasmine, only to be stopped by guards wielding a microwave device, who wound Jin and Baytes, the latter a fatal wound.

Aaron knocks the guards away, both him and Jin witness Baytes' dying words, and with his last act gives them another piece of the map to Crigta, a map of Mars! They then rough up a wounded guard who tells them Jasmine's location.

Back down the corrider, Baytes reappears from the netherworld and possesses Melvin, another guard.

Jin and Aaron escape to Mars in a rusty cruiser, where they meet the AI program Celest.

Back on a ship hovering above Uranus; Brando, seeing Jin and Aaron's lifesigns have disappeared he orders Captain Nguyen to head another assault force in Uranus's crust.

It is learned that Brando may be Big Boss's long lost brother. And it is discovered that Crigta rests on Jupiter while Big Boss makes his base on Europa.

Brando penetrates Big Boss's forces, only to hear from Boss's own soldier that Crigta does not reside on Uranus. Later Brando is presented with Aaron's (clones') "corpse".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jin, Aaron, and Celeste land on Mars trying to possibly find what is located at the blue X on Baytes' map. Instead, they find a mysterious, seemingly scatterbrained young woman sleeping in a straightjacket with a golden spatula. She introduces herself as Poogie from California and speaks of wanting to "delete her post". Jin and Aaron believe she works for Crigta.

Meanwhile, Brando and Co. find plumbing problems on the Uranus base and attempts to bring a foursome of penguins back to the planet to help. Fortunately for Jin's company the penguins also make their home on Mars, and as Brando's transport ship picks up the penguins our heroes also leave in it. Celeste manages to hotwire the craft to send them back to Earth, to a bar in Cleveland Ohio.

Brando, hoping to find reinforcements thinking Jin and Aaron are dead follows the penguins back to Earth. On the trip he finds Louis Dehoven along with Dosu Kinuta and Dale Gribble transporting Jasmine, Celina, and the others to be sacrificed. He docks the ship and rescues the quint, killing Dosu in the process, threatening Louis Dehoven (and, to a lesser extent, Dale) with death if he should continue his mad quest to resurrect Crigta. Brando takes a few side-trips back to the sacrifices' home planets and drops them off. Jasmine volunteers to stay hoping to avenge her lover's death, or, perhaps knowing he's still alive!

Back in Cleveland, after a small altercation with a horde of Drew Carey clones, Jin sees Brando's ships hovering above Cleveland and follows them to an airport where all parties (sans Jasmine) meet. In the confusion with Brando discovering Jin and Aaron alive, Baytes accidently reveals his temporary vessel in Nguyen after telling Jin about his part of the map.

Brando orders his soldiers to chase after Jin, Aaron, Poogie, and Celeste. The Cambodians, however, forget to chase their former captain (Baytes), who is recaptured by Brando and taken back to Uranus.

Running back to the bar, Jin, Aaron, Poogie, and Celeste find who else but Jasmine waiting for them! Jasmine uses a device in a bathroom stall to transport all them back to Uranus, where she praises Brando. She then tells how she was rescued by Brando and how she says Brando wishes to destroy Crigta, a nuclear warhead down the summoning pit. However, they have a time limit before the still-unseen Jelly Juggernauts grow too powerful to ignore and the missile has to be wasted on them.

When disco zombies fail to destroy Jin and the rest, Jasmine uses a strange weapon named the soul-cracker (doing exactly as the name suggests, perhaps the Mars weapon?) to destroy them, much to the chagrin of the Evil Table. In response they send to the Horde of the Dead's aid an army of sentient flying hands to kill them. To our heroes surprised, they are saved by Master Baytes who tames the hands, and kills the semi-leader.

Brando enters and begins to tell the others of how he never wanted Jin to die saying he read of Jin and Aaron and thought they owuld make excellent agents. Brando says the reason for the anominity between he and Baytes is due to their reasons for wanting to beat Crigta. (Baytes wants to save the world and have it return to normal while Brando wants to bring new order).

As the story ends and the heroes begin to move out, they are stopped by Chuck Norris, returning as a zombie to kill Nguyen (Baytes' soul flies out and possesses Celeste), and greiviously injures Brando.

As zombie Leon and still-living Jackal arrive standing off with the protagonists. Brando tells Jin, Volga, and Baytes some inspiring words. With a newfound respect for Brando in mind, Jin does the impossible, giving Norris a face full of his own signature move! Volga kills Leon, and Aaron subdues Jackal

As the group proceeds farther down into Uranus, they are met by the least likely enemy of all, Crigta himself, accompanied by Dehoven and the last remaining clown gang!

Dehoven tells Jin and the others that Crigta wants Marlon's body, and they begin fighting. To our surprise, they easily beat the duo of main villains and order them back to the spot Brando lay dead.

Again, to our surprise, Brando lives again, saying he was only napping. He orders Dehoven and Crigta to be chained to the wall and spanked with the golden spatula Poogie carries. She obeys, and the resulting current of pain and pleasure send her back and deletes her post.

Brando then explains to the surprised crew the reason for Crigta's appearence and lack of power. While he transported the virgins back to their homeworlds, he took a second or two to first travel to the sacrificial area and vandalize the ritual by tricking three Jelly Juggernauts into the Crigta Pit, and then proceeding to drop in a porcupine and an omelette. Because of the only partial resurrection, Crigta is nearly without power and intellect.

With Crigta apparently defeated, all that is left to do is destroy Big Boss. Before they can properly plan, The Jackal returns to shoot Crigta and Dehoven down from their restraints

Brando tells the crew of his ship of the Europan history, as it seems, the Europans were once an advanced, flourishing society until the Jelly Juggernauts took over and forced them into a repressive order. Also that wherever Big Boss's Bunker may be located he is still preparing to summon Crigta.

This is not, however, what is really happening, as Big Boss promptly annihilates Crigta and punishes Jackal, Dale, and Dehoven.

The atmosphere of Europa gets to Jin, and he begins a hallucination where he is back in high school where familiar reporter Karol Kolchak tells him of the location of the Boss's Bunker, on a rocky, unpopulated area of Europa.

Our heroes find the Bunker, only to be confronted by the vampire with the golden gun himself, Fransisco Scaramanga! As Jupiter sets (?!?) Jin becomes werepenguin again and begins to duel with his semi-rival, managing to regain just enough humanity and penguinity to gain the upper hand and beak Fransisco to death.

The Jin Squad's next obstacle is "Master Hand" the hand of Fate, who guards the entrance to Big Boss's throne and is not very willing to give up control of his armies to Baytes. By working together, Aaron manages to crush the deadly glove in rock-form while the others restrain it's fingers. The protagonists enter the bunker, to find Big Boss and all his living minions waiting to fight. To our hopeful surprise, Big Boss reveals himself as Donald Pleasence! The Table of Evil seperate Brando form the rest, forming a laser-arena around him and Pleasence, while Dehoven, Jackal, Bunji, Wikipe-Tan (and reluctantly Dale) stand off with Jin, Aaron, Jasmine, Celeste/Baytes, and Volga.

And they fight. Both parties armies of red-shirted zombies of various origin emerge on the scene, Evil Table's laser-arena falls, it is a massacre for both sides although most "named" figures remain. The rumble comes to a temporary cease-fire however, when we notice a HUGE jello cluster hurtling towards the battlefield!

It looks as though now the prophecy truly will be fulfilled as the 12 moons of Europa turn red. Underground, Crigta-worshipper Ashthecat and Orgy-Master Menard attempt the innocent blood ritual.

But just as all hope seems lost Brando's great spy Odinn7 emerges hockey'ing with the cavalry from the shadows! Odinn7 passes an arcane key to Brando and tells him to take it to the inner complex.

The protagonists (sans Odinn 7) go down an elevator, traveling down a tube which takes them from an underground ocean to a secret cave (perhaps the inner complex itself?) inside Europa.

On their way, the red shirters absorb some of the alien jelly as more of the red bombs continue to fall. As a result the soldiers become zombies looking to indiscriminately kill those who stand in their way (I guess).

Luckily in the elevator tube Jin & co. find a more welcoming zombie, the long expected zombie-African Trevor (who for some reason Jin and Aaron this time do not notice). Being dejected by all the famous zombie directors, he expresses no desire to eat the groups' brains and instead comes along with them to their destination.

Unfortunately, this destination happens to be in the heart of the Crigta cult, and despite doing their best to blend in with the members (using the unique power of love between Brando and Volga), they are captured.

Meanwhile topside, Donald Prime sees three of the Evil Table are dead (leaving only an unlucky 3-arms, missing half his body, and wimpy Wimp-Lo, who is ironically just fine) and thus hires Bunji, Wikipe-Tan, and Jackal (but not Dale) to fill in for the dead. Then they attempt to question Odinn 7 about the whereabouts of his rivals, and his treacherous former-companion Louis Dehoven. Odinn7, however manages to flee and regroup before his mind is vandalized by Wikipe-Tan.

Now, as Brando is taken into the breeding room to be spoiled by 1000 women for 5 years and the others are captured to be tortured (by a certain movie, ESCAPE FROM HELL) and executed, Odinn 7 rushes to save them with a special doomtrooper brigade. Oppositely, the new table of evil wants to find them for a very different reason...

Wow, Mr. Briggs that is an Awesome recap. I sense big Karma for you. Thanks.

What's everyones favorite scene so far?

clockworkcanary

Again, great recap - your summaries really put things in perspective.

As for favorite scenes, there are too many favs to narrow down.  I still smile at Aaron's first scene - I forget who wrote it but Aaron was like, "Jin you still havin problems with women?" and he's like "<embarrassed> well...yeah" haha

I liked Brando's death scene(s), and any scene with Dale doing what Dale does best (whatever that is - none the less, he's pretty amusing).  And of course the fight scenes are pretty good.

Here's a query, what is up with Aaron? Every time he is mentioned it seems to be "the spirit of Aaron", but it was proven he was still alive and solid, he blocked Scaramanga's bullet and performed the body slam that ended Master Hand's life! (in addition to others).

Mr. Briggs, it's a tough subject. Even Aaron doesn't seem to be aware that he's a spirit.

Wasn't he shot and killed a while back? Maybe Master Hand was a spirit........... I don't know..........maybe these spirits become manifest in different places. Depending on atmospheric conditions.

dean


I must admit I missed the middle part, and saw on one of the tail end posts that he was a spirit so just went with that assuming I was on the right path.

Maybe if by convincing himself he is a spirit, then maybe he will turn into one, who knows!

You'll just have to watch this space and see...

But those recaps sure did help me get up to speed on what's going on.  It may be a small writing role, but now that I sort of know what's what, I won't keep writing vague random things, and have some actual action of some kind...  Maybe a torturous love scene for Brando.  Again...

Well, fortunately, this is a b-flick, so continuity gets thrown right out the window anyway, just as a principle.  Hehe, in one scene, he could be a normal guy, the next, a contract killer, later a rock beast, and evolved into a spirt, once forgotten for a few scenes, but hold on, now he's back to normal lol.  I kinda find it amusing that a character is either forgotten or killed but is suddenly back, as if the director didn't care if anyone would notice.

It does get hard to keep track of all the characters with this many, but I think it works, especially when some of us tend to work with a certain set of characters more than others.  It's almost like some of us writers are kinda role-playing a few select characters while others are doing the same with other ones.  I notice that I tend to work more with 3-4 characters while I kinda leave a few others up to someone else.

Anyway, great job on writing from those who've been contributing -we have some gifted creative types here, for sure.  And the rest of you lurkers feel free to join in or at least comment about the story. 

And I do think it's about time Andrew added to the story :)  - who's with me? hehe

I've wanted to, but time is not my friend these days.  To make anything else happen, I have to make cuts from other things.  Only been managing to watch 2-3 movies a week lately (1 or 2 for review and then perhaps another just to get it under my belt).

If I get the chance I will, but it does not look promising for me anytime soon.  Most nights I am only sleeping 4-6 hours, just so I can keep up with everything.

Well...I suppose that's alright then :) hehe j/k I totally understand about lack of time.  Not to mention you have a web site to run and all that!  Between work, kids, and travel, I don't get a chance to watch as many movies as I would like -I'm kinda behind schedule with my select reader reviews myself.

Anyway, one day maybe you can chip in on the story.  At any rate, glad you're ok with us creating a mammoth post with our story.

QuoteWasn't he shot and killed a while back?
Yeah, I was the one who did that, but as I recall someone used chapter-playish tactics to make who the assassins thought was Aaron a rock-clone.

QuoteMaybe Master Hand was a spirit.
But the others fought him too, it took all 5 of them to hold him down.

Quotehe could be a normal guy, the next, a contract killer, later a rock beast, and evolved into a spirt
I thought he was always a contract killer (just friends with Jin) and could turn rock-beast at will.
