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

    Obviously not as pure as your brilliant vision, but Hardcore Henry has I think the highest ratio of action to exposition of any movie I've seen. It's basically like watching a playthrough of an FPS with a few short in-charavter cutscenes (like the half life kind where you can walk around and stuff and it doesn't break perspective)

      That was a really fun movie and the first person gimmick was pretty cool. I'd hate to see that style take off but for one movie it was neat.

      Mine could only be made by Micheal Bay and he'd probably have the time of his life. He doesn't have to deal with things like story or acting at all, just a series of amazing set pieces. The first John Wick almost had it with using the most bare bones simple and obvious and let's face it cheap motives for the rest of the movie which is just cool violence. I want that but for Lethal Weapon and not even dealing with a dead dog or any excuse. An functioning city will either need to be bought or built to absolutely destroy over the course of the movie. The movie itself will melt a glacier.

        Kinda disappointed that the John Wick sequels (especially 3) were so bogged down with story and worldbuilding that it kinda got in the way of the first film's purity. They could've cut most of the story and a few of the fights and had a much stronger movie IMO

          For real! Part of what I loved about the first was the shameless non plot. I thought they played it so over the top and psychologically cheap on purpose.

      The Crank movies are great like that too. The whole plot is he can never let is adrenaline drop.
