Full prompt

Hero = a rugged battle-hardened man around 35, weathered face, dark stubble, a brow cut, a dirty white tank-top vest, worn dark trousers and boots, dirt and grime. Fierce, exhausted, unbroken. Appearance only. Gang1 = a squad of rugged cartel henchmen in dirty casual clothes, unshaven and mean, armed with machetes. Appearance only. Gang2 = cartel enforcers in dark tailored suits, disciplined and armed with blades. Appearance only. Boss = a cartel boss around 45, sharp cold face, slicked-back greying hair, a trimmed beard, an immaculate white suit with a dark shirt. Powerful and menacing. Appearance only. Building = a rundown abandoned cartel hideout at dusk — a grimy derelict concrete building, a battered entrance door, a dim gritty ground floor with peeling walls, bare bulbs, debris and a staircase at the back, and a moody upper floor with tall grimy windows and shafts of dim light. Desaturated gritty grey-brown palette. Environment only. SCENE: a gritty one-man-army action sequence. A rugged exhausted man in a dirty white vest kicks in the door of an abandoned cartel hideout and fights his way through a machete-armed gang on the ground floor, then climbs to the upper floor where suited enforcers and their white-suited boss wait. He takes down the enforcers and defeats the boss in a final duel, standing victorious. Intense, raw, cinematic martial-arts action. TECHNICAL: 16:9, cinematic gritty desaturated grey action grade, dynamic handheld fight camera, low moody light, dust and haze, fine film grain, photorealistic raw action quality. CUTS: CUT 1 (0-5s): The man walks up to the grimy building at dusk, shouts "Come out!", and kicks the door in — storming into the dim ground floor where machete-armed henchmen ready their weapons. CUT 2 (5-12s): The fight erupts — brutal fast hand-to-hand combat, he dodges machete swings, disarms and takes down the whole squad one by one across the gritty room, using pillars and furniture. Dynamic changing angles. CUT 3 (12-17s): The room cleared, he strides to the staircase and climbs to the upper floor — where a squad of suited enforcers and the white-suited boss behind them are waiting. A tense standoff. CUT 4 (17-24s): The enforcers attack; he fights them down in fast fierce combat until only the boss remains. The two face off across the light-shafted room, breathing hard. CUT 5 (24-30s): The final duel — hero and boss clash in an intense one-on-one, trading heavy blows, until the hero lands a decisive final blow and the boss drops to the floor, beaten. The hero stands over him, victorious, in a shaft of dim light. Epic final hero frame. END. RULES: References are appearance only, do not recreate. Keep the hero's face and white vest, and the boss's white suit, consistent across every cut. Action is intense but NOT gory — enemies are beaten and drop, no blood, no graphic killing, impacts sold through motion and body mechanics. Gritty desaturated grade throughout. Sound design: the door bursting, brutal impact hits, grunts, a tense standoff beat, a driving action score peaking at the final blow, gritty ambience. Final hero frame stable and clean.
