Movie Cross-overs That Could Work

    With the recent talk of a cross over happening between Jump Street and Men in Black, I got thinking about other franchises that could work together, either as a serious cross over or just ridiculously over the top summer blockbuster types.

    A couple that came to mind are:
    Die Hard/ Fast & Furious - "Die Hard: Die Faster", where John McClane moves to LA to track down a drug lord who also has a beef with Vin Diesels gang, so the 2 work together. Having Willis, Diesel and The rock together would make this one of the most testosterone filled movies of all time.

    Transformers/ Jurassic Park - The JP movies have always been kinda self contained in a way that they only ever happen within the islands where the dinosaurs roam (except that last scene in The Lost World), so we never really see the effect it has on the rest of the world. What if IN-Gen started meddling in dinosaur robotic technology only to unleash monstrous, unstoppable Dino-bots?? The only force that could stop these??? Optimus Prime and the Auto-bots.

    Would love to hear any other cross over ideas that could (or could not) work!!

    What if Randall P McMurphy was treated by Patch Adams instead of Nurse Ratched?

    Interesting idea I think you'll agree.

    Stole from HISHE but "Back to the Terminator"

    John Wick and Equilibrium. Two regimes going toe-to-toe, the "clerics" being the group of fundamentalists, the "assassins" being a rogue rebellious group. Actually just sounds like the Matrix... Move along

    Looper and Chronicle... Don't know why

    Sex and the city/AVP.

    Aliens hunt down whiney old women for sport.

    The Matrix and Office Space

    Timid office worker Milton finds out just how deep the rabbit hole goes when he rebels against the company that betrayed him, burning it to the ground. This act of rebellion against the system brings him to the attention of the resistance and a new hero is born.

    .... Lumbergh would make a great agent :)

    A Bond/ Sherlock Holmes movie?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Didn't Guy Ritchie already try that? :)

    Has anyone seen Time After Time? It combined HG Wells Time Machine with Jack the Ripper in modern day San Francisco . Worth checking out.
