The title. If you had full Hollywood sex pest money and power what movies would you have made?

I've had a concept for a movie just called Action. It would open on a street corner, a car would come Tokyo drifting around the corner with another car chasing it. The entire movie is only chases, fights, explosions and stunts. There are two bad guys and two good guys and they refer to each other literally as the bad guys and the good guys. The bad guys got away with the briefcase that contains the codes, it is never specified what the codes are for. All dialogue is immediate exposition "they're getting away!" or snappy one liners. It would be all practical effects and cost more to make than most wars

    How to do that is the hard part. I can't think of any angle to take that hasn't been tried and failed before. Fuck Watchmen (the comic) should have been that for the superhero genre before movies were really even a part of it and look what that did to the comic industry.

      I think something similar to Don Quixote could work.
      A lazy landlord lives alone with his 200+ Funko Pops. He spends all day watching Marvel movies and harassing his tenants. One day, he slips on ice and hits his head really hard. When he wakes up, he is convinced that everything in the movies is real and decides to become a real-life superhero. Hilarity ensues.

        That's a funny idea, partly because the dialogue in Marvel movies is supposed to be funny in that the characters are treating big, epic events as though they're mundane. So we'd come full-circle to people doing mundane things talking about them as though they're mundane.
