Some awful story ideas that I have had, but then rejected:
A guilt-stricken time-traveling ninja tries to travel back in time to stop the man who made his own sword so that he (the ninja) would not be able to do the terrible things that he has done with it. Is pursued by evil ninjas.
A guilt-stricken private detective discovers that the inventor of a time machine has been kidnapped (or has he?) by ninjas who plan to force him to go build more time machines so that they can all go back in time to change history to be more advantageous for evil ninjas. He attempts rescue the time machine inventor. Is pursued by evil ninjas.
A guilt-stricken, karate-loving, closeted-homosexual Mormon is hitchhiking out of Utah and is picked up by a former ninja who teaches him about life/man-love/karate/ Indie music while they drive cross country. Are pursued by evil ninjas and/or evil Mormons.
Ethan Hawke decides to write/direct another movie. Is pursued by evil ninjas.
A guilt-stricken private detective retires to the solitude of the desert where he builds a rollercoaster with the world’s steepest drop. While testing it, he discovers that the roller coaster goes so fast that it passes through the fabric of time/space. He finds himself transported to an alternate reality where the Nazis won WWII, but in this reality, all Nazis are also ninjas. He tries to assassinate Ninja Hitler. Is pursued by evil ninjas.
A time-traveling ninja assassin arrives from the future with orders to assassinate the President of the United States (who is also, secretly, a time-traveling ninja). The two have giant ninja battles at all of the famous tourist attractions in the greater D.C. area. To prevent a full-scale invasion of The United States by legions of time-traveling ninjas, The President leaps through time, meeting other US presidents along the way and recruiting them to fight the time-traveling ninjas. He teaches them all karate. Is pursued by evil ninjas.
