Ur manuset till denna aldrig realiserade TV-show, förtexterna:
<center> FADE TO BLACK.
[TITLE SEQUENCE: LAYERED SOUND AND IMAGES]
-- A mission control voice: “Three, two, one.” A ROCKET
BLASTS OFF. Deep, pounding music.
-- JACK AUSTIN is in a pilot’s seat, reacting to the G-
force with a raise of his eyebrow.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Jack Austin, American astronaut.
-- A three-sectioned screen shows images of a rocket
soaring through space, Jack’s face and the BLAZING SUN.
NARRATOR (cont’d) (V.O.)
Exposed to inappropriate levels of
solar energy.
-- Computer graphics: A human brain EXPANDS.
-- [part of the super intelligence sequence:] Jack
screams beneath hundreds of exploding lightbulbs.
JACK (V.O.)
I...KNOW...EVERYTHING!!!!
-- Jack is standing over a chess board, moving the white
pieces with his left hand, the black pieces with his
right, hitting the clocks with blinding speed. He seems
bewildered by his own ability.
SCIENTIST (V.O.)
Sunlight makes him the world’s most
intelligent man!
-- RON SILVER is on a car phone. A voice from the other
end says, “I want that brain taken out.”
-- In a white, hospital-like hallway, Jack sees Ron
Silver coming at him and runs away.
-- Outside NASA, Jack runs through a door, followed by
Ron. Ron shoots an evil-looking ray gun. Jack ducks.
-- A blonde man (we don’t see his face) and the orange
motorcycle on which he’s seated are ENGULFED in a
blinding FLASH.
-- Computer graphics: a motorcycle ABSORBS a human body.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Heat Vision, a motorcycle with the
mind of Jack’s unemployed roommate.
-- Heat Vision’s console. The dial turns to IGNITION.
The RPMs soar.
-- Heat Vision pops a wheely.
-- Far shot of Heat Vision and Jack moving toward one
another, their silhouettes meeting in the center, against
a gigantic SUN.
NARRATOR (cont’d) (V.O.)
Together, they must run for their
lives, blocked at every turn by
adventure.
TITLE: HEAT VISION AND JACK
-- Jack punches a werewolf across the face
-- Jack makes out with a beautiful woman.
-- Jack types on a computer keyboard in a dark office.
The screen says “ACCESSING MAINFRAME.”
-- Jack sword-fights with the Devil.
-- Jack, naked, next to a GIGANTIC PENCIL. Realizing
he’s been shrunken down, he looks at the pencil and
SCREAMS.
-- Jack stands in blackness, looking at us, smiling.
TITLE: JACK BLACK as JACK AUSTIN
-- Close on a motorcycle tire peeling rubber.
-- Heat Vision pops a wheely and hits a fat chef in the
head with his front tire.
-- Two women kiss Heat on the sides of his headlamp.
-- Heat Vision is parked in blackness. TITLE: OWEN
WILSON as the voice of HEAT VISION
-- A metal NASA door SPLITS down the middle, revealing
Ron Silver. He marches forward as if he’s going to kill
us. TITLE: RON SILVER as HIMSELF
[For a few brief notes, the music gets plinky and light
hearted as:]
-- Jack and Heat Vision argue over a batch of burnt
cookies- Jack is wearing a lead apron with a radioactive
symbol on it.
[The music turns hard and studly again:]
-- Heat Vision jumps over a car- by himself!
-- An explosion.
-- Jack leaps over a stack of cardboard boxes, tackling a
hood.
-- Jack soars through the air toward us on Heat Vision,
backlit by the humongous sun.</center>
