Because the actual movie itself had over twenty writers to its credit, the screenplay gradually evolved over its sixty years in development, starting off as the classic over-the-top slapstick of the 1940's and ending with the nut-grindingly irritating over-the-top slapstick of the the 1990's. It began as a pet project of late-period Charlie Chaplin, who imagined the film as a sequel to his 1936 classic Modern Times. The movie, tentatively titled Modern Times 2: Electric Boogaloo, was intended as a silent release in the age of talking films, and thus had difficulty finding investors. When studio heads pressured him to change the format, Chaplin quit in disgust, selling the screenplay to a group of Russian bums he passed on the street outside the studio.

abstract	Because the actual movie itself had over twenty writers to its credit, the screenplay gradually evolved over its sixty years in development, starting off as the classic over-the-top slapstick of the 1940's and ending with the nut-grindingly irritating over-the-top slapstick of the the 1990's. It began as a pet project of late-period Charlie Chaplin, who imagined the film as a sequel to his 1936 classic Modern Times. The movie, tentatively titled Modern Times 2: Electric Boogaloo, was intended as a silent release in the age of talking films, and thus had difficulty finding investors. When studio heads pressured him to change the format, Chaplin quit in disgust, selling the screenplay to a group of Russian bums he passed on the street outside the studio. The bums, who turned out to be excellent storytellers despite their functional illiteracy, reworked the script as a zany tale of alcoholic Russians in search of the American Dream. The studio thought the script brilliant, accepted it from the Russians by force, and conveniently deported them at the height of the Red Scare. Unfortunately, there were several witnesses to the violent thrashing the Russians received in exchange for the script, and the studio was brought before a United States court of law. In a televised thirty day criminal ordeal, the would-be film producers were convicted on three counts of interacting with Russians, despite the defense's assertion that they were "only Moldovan, really!" Tainted black with the Red curse, the script was shelved for many decades until Pauly Shore, after negotiating with MGM to get an Encino Man sequel, discovered it sitting atop a urinal. It underwent heavy updates in the months that followed. By 1993, the story began to follow a new construct, "Mikey," as he travels around the country with his friend Ne, an increasingly grating racial stereotype from Korea with an Irish father, who had the desperate catchphrase "Ne know nuuuuuthin', dude!"
