AdamLeisemann 15 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 What mixed-genre premises would you find disturbing? Here's an example: "Mel Brooks and Akira Kurosawa collaborating on one movie." (Mixing Ninja Hero with extreme doses of comedy) Let's see what ideas you can come up with? Edit: This was just something that came to me totally at random. 2 bubba smith and kahuna's bro reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowcat1313 165 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares how about mixing movie titles/genres to come up with a very different movie? This is Spinal Taps Rocky Horror Picture Showboat BrigaDune Dirty Harry and the Hendersons When Dirty Harry Met Sally The Empire Strikes Back to the Future Jumping Jack Flash Gordon or for real fun Jumping Jack Flesh Gordon Run Silent Run Deep Throat The Prince of Crimson Tides Mother, Jugs, and Speed 2 or how about different authors writing well known books Tom Clancy writing Harry Potter if I go digging somewhere I have the list of nearly 500 mixed movie titles that the folks on alt.callahans put together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamLeisemann 15 Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares Free Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I always thought Willy Wonka's chocolate factory was a good place to stage a horror game. Wonka has always been so creepy, like Micheal Jackson after he decided to be white. And why stop at movies for cross-genre HERO gaming possibilities? Hamster Horror HERO Maybe even make some bad puns too. Moral Kombat (every 20 years, Ministers around the world gather to beat the living ba-Jesus out of each other. I know, long ****ing way to go for a joke.) 1 bubba smith reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
