Running man

We see a man skinig down a mountain. He leaps off the edge, his skis fall away and he pulls a cord to release a parachute. He begins to fall to Earth, finaly landing and throwing off the parachute. he runs through a forest, then reaches a crocodile infested river. He dashes across using the corocs as stepping stones, then on over a field where a train approaches. He dives for a ladder and up onto the roof of the train, running down the length of tha carages. At a crossing he leaps off and onto a motorcycle, he does a wheelie and races away.

CUT TO

a subburban street. The motorcycle stops and the man leaps off, runs up a drive and to a house.

CUT TO

a bedroom. we see a woman siting up in bed reading a book. the door bursts open and the man steps inside.

Man: Did you say you wanted coffee or tea?

Woman: Tea.

Man: Damn.

he rushes across the room and dives head first through the window. the glass shatters. we hear the reving of the motorcycle.

Good sketch, I rarely mention spelling but quite a few little ones there.

good luck filming this one!

I think it's been done years ago - someone did a parody of the old Black Magic ads...

My mind went to the 'Lady loves milk tray' ads too. I believe it may have been Jasper Carrott who did a spoof on it.
