Future Man
The original Bottle Rocket Script
[via bitterpill.org]
DIGNAN
So who's going to know?
BOB
My brother.
ANTHONY
Future Man.
BOB
Who?
ANTHONY
Future Man.
You know. Cause he looks like he's from the future.
DIGNAN
He looks like he was designed by scientists.
For desert warfare.
There are a lot of hilarious little things like this in the script that never made it into the movie.
Comments
So that’s why he was Futureman! I don’t remember that explanation in the movie.

Thankyou, I love the comment at the end. I own the movie, and I get shaky every couple of months if I haven’t watched it. The part at the end makes me laugh because it probably references some actual history between the three brothers, cause Futureman is a Wilson too. I can see him going through the script and saying, “We’re gonna take that out or else I’ll beat you endlessly.” or something.

I love the part of about Dignan wearing cowboy boots in gym. I remember playing floor hockey wearing big rubber boots in gym in Canada. I kept forgetting my runners.
