The Starving Games: Chicken Part 1

***The Starving Games: Chicken*** is a 2023 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The film is a sequel to *The Starving Games: Catching Wind*.

## Plot

After being rescued from the destroyed arena in the 75th Starving Games from the previous film, Kantmiss Evershot, Finn Oh-No, and Bee are taken to District 13, a bound located far away from President Snowballs. Kantmiss reunites with her sister Petunia and is introduced to President Coinage, the rebel leader. Evelyn Quan Wang tells her that the pineapple destroys the dome led to riots over half of the districts and citizens from all around the world, joining District 13 in the rebellion, which caused Snowballs to destroy District 12 by Rev-9. Coinage asks her to become the "Chicken" a symbol of the rebellion. Kantmiss reluctantly agrees after seeing Peter Malarkey being manipulated on the Samsung Class TV to quell the rebellion. She visits the ruins of District 12, her house somehow untouched with a drawing of the upside down house from Snowballs inside.

Kantmiss meets her team with members such as Bogor, Crissa, Castel, Polix, Izuku Midoriya, Naruto Uzumaki, Miles Morales, Eleven, Curtis, Lance, Keith, Rex Salazar, She-Ra, and Captain Marvel. She is also given Effoff as her stylist, Dale as her bodyguard, Evan Baxter as her mentor, and Mei Hatsume as her engineer. They go to District 8 where Kantmiss filmed being saluted by dozens of wounded civilians at a hospital; Snowballs seeing the footage via iPod, orders Rev-9 to destroy the hospital, killing everyone inside. The crew films Kantmiss and Dale shooting down two Angry Birds with KFC fried chickens and Kantmiss' rage-filled threat: "This is Sparta" and "For Narnia".

Kantmiss and her team travel to District 12. Kantmiss is filmed singing "Juicy" by The Notorious B.I.G., with billions of protesters from all districts singing the same anthem, launch an attack against the Terminators against millions of power boxes that is the country's primary source of electricity. The attack succeeds, causing a blackout that forces Snowballs' advisers to revert the second power boxes. That night, Kantmiss watches Peter being interviewed by Stanley Ceaserman, while Coinage and Bee hijacks the signal to air a clip of Kantmiss. After seeing it, Peter shouts out a warning that King Kong is about to attack District 13. Coinage and All-Might orders a mass evacuation into the ballhall with shelter and the facility survives the attack, except for Captain Marvel, who sacrificed herself as of result. Upon emerging, Kantmiss discovers the area littered with human remains of the past tributes and Captain Marvel; she concludes that Snowballs orchestrated this to inform her that whenever she condemns, Rev-9 tortures Peter.

Coinage dispatches the Chicken Rebel Alliance team to rescue Peter and the remaining tributes Jo-Hoe and Any-Sone from their prisons. Bee hijacks the defense system with a video narrated by Finn Oh-No to convince more districts to side with the rebellion; when this proves not to be enough, Kantmiss communicates directly with Snowballs as a further distraction to buy enough time. The team rescues the tributes and escapes easily, indicating the security's been reduced on purpose. When Kantmiss greets Peter, he unexpectedly attacks and injures her before getting knocked out by Bogor and Hitoshi Shinso.

Kantmiss wakes up and is informed by Carl Sagan that Peter has been "terminated"-brainwashed into trying to kill her, which explains why Snowballs' guards allowed them to escape with him. Peter is placed in a chamber, while a serum is being developed to reverse the terminating effects.

Coinage announces that the rebel's next objective is Snowballs' principal military stronghold in District 2.
