Sack Race (NC-17)

Sack Race (NC-17)

High flying Chicago banker Richard Cokington (Ben Affleck) is troubled by the recurring nightmare of a childhood picnic that descends into terror as he is chased through a sunny meadow (in slow motion) by a hook-handed midget in calipers (Kenny Baker).

His psychiatrist recommends a drive up to the North Woods with his banking buddies Scotty Skaggs (Ewan McGregor) and Lil’ Tommy Tomms (Christian Bale) for a relaxing camping trip.

In the woods, they come upon a nature loving pygmy (Kenny Baker) who warns them not to disrespect the environment. However, they fail to heed his advice and later that night, fueled by arrogance and cocaine, the bankers gatecrash the pygmy’s cottage during a family birthday party and ransack his home.

The pygmy family is furious and determined to gain their revenge. The following morning, the bankers wake up in their tent to find that they have been sewn up in their sleeping bags by the pygmies and must now battle man and nature in a race for their lives.

Possible dialogue:

Scotty Skaggs: “Gimme a piece of your frickin’ cake, you wee bastard!”
