Top Ten Terrible Mash-Up Movie Ideas I'd Watch the Hell Out Of (Patreon)
Content
The dividing line between a "Terrible Idea" and an "Awesome Idea" can be bent, blurred, and razor-thin. For these ideas in particular, I both would not recommend any investor spend money on such a movie hoping for a return, nor any actor hope it be a career-making role to be in one... but I'd cheer their creation and watch the heck out of them, popcorn in hand!
10. Terminator vs. Crow: "One is an unstoppable killing machine. The other already died. The battle for the Afterlife starts now."
9. Ghostbusters vs. RIPD: "NOW Who Ya Gonna Call?" It's a breakout of spirits from the afterlife, but the Ghostbusters tend to use unlicensed nuclear accelerators first, and ask for undead IDs never.
8. S.W.O.R.D. vs. Godzilla: While the big league superheroes are dealing with other issue's Marvel's worldwide defense agency discovers aliens are trying to awaken ancient kaiju to destroy the Earth. And, yes, I was a huge fan of the SHIELD vs. Godzilla comics of the late 1970s. This perfectly well ought to feature Devil Dinosaur, Red Ronin, the Shogun Warriors, and Jet Jaguar in addition to Godzilla.
7. Scanners vs. Trancers: "Heads Will Explode!" Though I'd be sad if it didn't have Tim Thomerson in it, and he seems to have retired from acting.
6. Robocop vs. Robocop vs. Terminator: As Skynet sends another Terminator to the past to eliminate the potential threat of OCP-tech creating a different human-conquering AI, it creates an alternate timeline, resulting in both the 1987 Robocop and 2014 Robocop fighting against it (and each other, as they try to protect their own timelines).
5. Supernatural vs. the Evil Dead: The Winchester Boys find the notes of a long-retired (and often thought fictional) hunter names Ash, which warns there's a wave of Evil Dead about to be released if they don't stop it. Hilarity ensues.
4. BattleStarGate:INT. THE GALACTICA'S BRIDGE - NIGHT
GAETADRADIS jump complete.
DEECommander, I'm being hailed by an unknown source from the third planet in this system.
ADAMAOn speaker.
RADIO VOICE...peat, unknown vessel entering Sol space, this is Stargate Control. Identify yourselves.
3. The Blobs: Lots of movies title their sequel just by pluralizing the title. So for "The Blob," that gives us... The Blobs! So, it's the plot of The Blob, but with more teenagers, more small towns, and more Blobs! (1988 Blob is set up well for this.)
Oh, this isn't a mashup, you say?! Okay, make the exact same movie, but title it The Blob vs. The Stuff vs. X the Unknown.
2. CVA (Chucky Vs. Anderson): So, sure, This is just an attempt to get a sequel made to the 2014 Dredd, but starring Judge Anderson (with Dredd as her back-up). But think about it! Bored civvies perform an occult ritual, summoning the long-lost spirit of serial killer Charles Lee Ray and placing it in... a souped-up high-tech weaponized Good Guy doll. Enraged they didn't just place him in a human body, Chucky guns them down, then flees to make mischief while he gets used to this far future. Meanwhile Judge Anderson, having been tracking the cultists, realizes what they've done and takes steps to catch Chucky and banish his soul forever. Dredd assists, wryly.
1. Terminator vs Highlander: "One is an unfightable killing machine from the future. The other is an unkillable fighting machine from the past. The battle for the present starts now."
