*Fallout* is a movie series in the Gnarly Dudes Cinematic Universe. It currently has two films, *Fallout: A Chip in the Bag*, and *Fallout II: Bartertown Blues*. There are potentially 2 more films planned for the future that have yet to be written. The series began development in the summer of 2018 when it became evident Cops 2 would not be produced. Jack and Eric began planning an early version of Fallout: A Chip in the Bag with a can of beans substituting the role of the chip. The purpose behind this video was supposed to be an easy to film and put out video but once filming began it fell apart as the dudes were unhappy with their work. The project was picked up a year later and rewritten in more extensive detail following the success from the utilization of a full script for Cops 1/2. The opening scenes of the video are essentially the same in the original version with everything else being new. The script was written and outfits were prepared early in the summer but due to many delays production did not begin until August. The sequel was planned a year later by Jack and Michael and while a script was written, the video took on a more interpretive form as the lines were not as rigidly followed. Fallout II also is noticeably different stylistically as it is heavily influenced on spaghetti westerns while Fallout I had no real identity. The series as a whole bears no connection to a line of video games, coincidentally also called *Fallout*.

## Fallout: A Chip in the Bag

Fallout: A Chip in the Bag takes place in the year 2077 in a post apocalyptic United States following the nuclear devastation of World War III. The video has two protagonists being the wanderer Harper, and the scavenger known as Renault, as they come at odds with a raider gang that had stolen a chip of immense value. The two work together coming across several challenges in the quest to retrieve the chip ultimately resulting in a battle with the dastardly raider gang. It is the first of a planned trilogy currently under production.

## Fallout II: Barter Town Blues

Fallout II: Barter Town Blues takes place about a week after the first film. Renault continues the quest of delivering the chip but must first visit Barter Town in order to figure out just what it is and where its going. While attempting this he befriends a travelling salesman named Samuel J. Davis and Barper, the brother of Harper. Together they learn just how desired the chip is and how far others are willing to go in order to get it.

This video was conceived upon the conclusion of the first entry due to the open ending. There were however, no real plot points decided besides the fact Renault would head to Bartertown, and that Harper would have a twin brother named Barper. As 2020 progressed, the dudes would occasionally propose and collect ideas for a video, but this was ultimately not planned until Jack and Michael hung around for a bit to write an outline. Around this time Jack had formed a fascination of Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, which directly influenced the intro scene which is a tribute to the opening of *Once Upon a Time in the West.* This western influence also extended into armament and stylistic choices of certain characters, as well as the soundtrack and filter of the video.
