New York: Dino De Laurentiis, 1984. Final Draft script for the 1985 neo-noir film. With annotations throughout highlighting dialogue related to Mickey Rourke's character, Stanley White.
From the collection of practical effects designer Greg Jein. Jein was gifted the script by fellow Chinese-American actor Dennis Dun, who played Herbert Kwong in the film.
Jein designed the award-winning miniatures in the film relating to director Michael Cimino's elaborate reproduction of New York's Chinatown, reproduced entirely on a soundstage, and so realistic that Stanley Kubrick—born in the Bronx—had to be convinced by Cimino after seeing the premiere that it was not shot on location.
Based on the 1981 novel by Robert Daley, about a Vietnam veteran turned New York City police captain who dedicates himself to stopping organized crime in Chinatown.
