Dumb Movie Ideas

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

This is kind of like the "Dumb WAD Ideas" thread. Share ideas for a movie that would make Ed Wood look like Martin Scorsese. Imagine that you have an unlimited budget and a magic machine that can read your thoughts and print them on film. What would you come up with to troll filmgoers at IMAX?

[TheMagicMushroomMan]

I had this idea for a movie about the cartel, called "Seven Thousand Square Meters and an Anteater". It's about the cartel. The leader of the cartel is a Russian dude in Mexico played by Mel Gibson. He's a loner, and all he has is his pet ant eater. He has a seven thousand square meter ranch that he uses to cook meth. The main gimmick of the movie is how he uses his ant eater to decimate his opponents in the drug game.

He straps cameras to it in order to spy on his rivals, he attaches guns to it that are remotely triggered and sends it into combat, etc. One day his ant eater gets stolen while out on a scouting mission. Its captors realize its potential and decide to chain it up to a wall like the nazis did with Jessie in Breaking Bad, except instead of having it cook meth they feed it meth in order to enhance its potential.

At the end of the movie, they send out the amped-up meth-addicted ant eater to kill his previous owner. They give it armor, laser-guided missiles, etc. The ant-eater destroys his owner's ranch, but when the two lock eyes, he turns around and starts firing at his kidnappers. His owner puts him on top of an RC car and sends him out to kill everyone. Back in Black by ACDC starts playing as the duo takes revenge. It's all filmed with a 4k go-pro strapped to the ant eater's head.

My little cousins love this show, I couldn't not post it.

Jurassic Park but all the dinosaurs are replaced with normal birds

[Hawk of The Crystals]

An android chef getting high on cyber-cocaine and becoming a five-star world-class chef. There's also a subplot about space-nazis trying to invade the earth, but I doubt that the audience would stay watching for that long.

[Mr. Freeze]

Boss Baby but everyone has a gun. 

[The BMFG]

a movie where an dog who had his balls cut off fights veterinarians to get them back

[Kuro_mahoh]

An adventure epic movie that stars Danny Devito getting a scroll from a grandmaster (played by Dwayne Johnson) telling him to learn kung fu from Will Ferrell to v sentient porta-potty that holds to the key to finding out Obama's last name. Devito's sidekick is MC Ride but then you slowly find out that the movie is really a satire based on American society told through the eyes of a lonesome old porta-potty enthusiast who is actually a talking crow (Comical right?) and the movie then ends like Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

...Or a movie about a samurai who has to wait in line for a Big Mac and that's the whole movie...

Baby Invaders: A movie about evil aliens that look like babies who want to take over earth.

"Hey you know that cool hip video game all the kids are talking about? Let's make a movie about that!"

"Can we completely change significant aspects of the story?"

"Is the Pope Catholic?"

[Johnatone]

I've had this idea for a long time.

 

It's an action film. It follows a guy on a quest. Everywhere he goes, he's fighting people. BUT everything he punches or kicks or headbutts or stares down or whatever fucking explodes.

 

So we go through the movie watching this guy be a total fucking badass and fucking everything up until he finally gets to the chamber of the man he's after, who's sitting at the head of room in a throne or some shit for some reason.

 

"Finally, I will have my revenge!" the hero speaks, for the first time. He takes a step towards the bad guy and trips on a snag in the carpet. When he falls forward and hits the ground, he explodes.

 

We end with a shot of the bad guy completely bewildered, asking his arriving henchmen, "Who the fuck was that?!"

Roll credits

 

You can use this for your next film project. I only ask 5%, a piece of the merchandising rights, my name in the credits, and permission to tag along at conventions. We're gonna be bigger than Short Circuit 2 baby!

Like this?

 

[Johnatone]

Not a movie, but a jumping off point. We open to a shot of a young man happily walking down the street on a beautiful day. As he passes by the alley he stops and looks as if he's heard something. He looks down the alley and spots a small gray object.

 

As the young man approaches we cut to a close up view of the object with our subject approaching from the background. It's a classic Gameboy, on the Tetris loading screen, the familiar music blasting away.

 

We cut back to the young man who's face lights up at the discovery, and his pace quickens. But as he gets near, the Gameboy suddenly vanishes, and three ninjas appear.

 

The ninjas proceed to start kicking the shit out of the young man until he finally passes out.

 

In the next scene the young man comes to, shaken awake by his friend. "Are you okay? What happened?"

 

The young man, still confused, says, "I was attacked by three ninjas."

 

His friend replies, "Did you kick back?"

 

Cut to a flashback of me in high school telling this to my friend Kyle. "I hate you," he said, and walked away.

 

Based on a true story.

I'll call it "Anxiety", and it'll be a 2 hour long film.

 

It's set in a completely white space. An incredibly slowed down, deeper pitched, heavily distorted old timey song plays throughout the runtime,

and there's an occasional 1 second audio clip that plays a voice that is staticy, but distorted and somewhat high pitched. A single black pixel

on the screen can be seen at the start, but every time the audio plays, it starts to get bigger, as if it were coming closer.

 

10 minutes in, the thing that was just a pixel has become big enough to see that whatever the object is, it's blurred out, and it has an irregular,

spindly shape. What is it? What does it mean? Does this film have some kind of deeper meaning to it? Now you're 40 minutes in, and the object

starts moving around while getting closer.

It's been 80 minutes, the audio clips are getting more frequent. 110 minutes have passed, whispering can be heard now, but it's not in any
language known to man. Finally, the big reveal is here. What is this ungodly thing that's been causing an anxiety filled nightmare for 2 hours?

 

It abruptly unblurs to reveal... A crudely drawn scribble that a 1 year old made. The jumble of lines resembles nothing at all, it's just pure nonsense.
You just wasted 2 hours sitting in fear of a child's drawing. The screen cuts to black, and the last thing you hear as the film concludes
is the reverb fart sound effect. Roll credits, give me oscars for art.

A horror movie in a world where middle eastern extremists are disguised as movie pirates, that can only be revealed by sunglasses that displays subliminal messages. Basically, movie studio anti-piracy PSA meets They Live.

I hate this idea just as much as i love it. 

Slight alteration i would make is change the reverb fart sound to a 21st Century Humour meme where they make fun of a real picture of that showing's audience

Bad movie ideas?

 

I have one.

 

What if George Lucas sold his beloved Star Wars franchise to a soulless corporate entity who proceeded to turn it into a zombified, soulless parody of itself?

 

That would be a bad movie idea. 0_o

Yeah, but have you heard the "'Doom: The Movie: The Board Game III - On Ice! OST: The Concert Film' Orignial Motion Picture Soundtrack" though? It's phenomenal.

Oh yeah! I've heard of it. I saw a short clip of the protagonist fucking a guy up a few years ago and was quite impressed. I'm gonna bump it up on my (way too long) list of things I need to read. Funny this is, I saw the original manga is 245 issues and didn't flinch, but when I see that number associated with an anime's length I find something else to watch.

 

But I can honestly say that even though the manga predates my birth by three and and half years, I'd never heard of it until recently, and I thought of explorer man as a stupid little cheap project I could do one day about twenty years ago.

 

Fuck it, I should do it. It's 15 minutes with two lines of dialog, no world building, no explanations, no names, in a vague city, with one single track of music, and the only method of death is a CGI version of 1960's TV style explosion deaths. And I'm in Utah, they love making movies here.
