Random people keep asking me for random help!
At least this time I was able to give it, but what's with someone here I haven't spoken to in almost a year calling me looking for help placing a contractor whose time is about to expire?
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
tommyrot, if you throw in some giant mutated fruit flies to your fruit stand movie, you could probably get the Sci Fi channel to go for it.
The heroes intentionally crash through a fruit stand while trying to flee a mutant fruit fly/human hybrid in the hopes it will distract it? Sounds straight up SFC's alley.

No, no, it's crashing through the fruit stand that mutates the fruit flies into horrific and ravenous mutants. Maybe there are some magnets involved?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Naw, I think that a scientist is carrying a rack of test tubes filled with gentically-modified "giantism" DNA. As the car chase comes by, he throws the rack of test tubes in the air and dives out of the way. The first car smashes the fruit stand, and the second car hits the still airborne rack of test tubes, knocking them onto the demolished fruit stand. Then we see a closeup of the test tube goo splatting on some fruit flies. Cut to commercial.
edit for editosity....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Kalshane, my two cents says "worth the effort".
Maybe make up a thermos of hot chocolate the night before or some other sort of fun stuff to eat in the car?

Oh, and as the mutated fruit flies wreak havoc, the drivers of the cars in the car chase have to put aside their differences and join up with the scientist and his girlfriend (who is also a scientist and who looks like a 20 year old model, except she wears black plastic glasses) to defeat the mutant fruit flies.

The owner of the fruit stand, who is an offensively stereotyped immigrant, adds the comic touch.

Shouldn't there be a spunky kid somewhere in this scenario? Possibly helping out his wise grandparent at the family fruit stand?

There could also be a monkey. He periodicaly steals fruit.

There also needs to be a dog who gets into peril...but lives, of course!
