look part of your job deck is going
different places that's the beauty of it
welcome to watch mojo and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie crossovers that almost happened
batgirl batgirl name's ash
housewares i am not messing with you you
are gonna tell me
what is happening for this list we'll be
going over planned crossovers between
movie franchises
and or other properties on film that
were never made
which of these do you wish happened let
us know in the comments
number 10 x-men fantastic four daredevil
and deadpool
oh oh hello
i know right superhero crossovers are
all the rage these days
but one of the most ambitious ones
outside the mcu
was almost made in the early 2010s i
don't like being touched
which tell me what you do like we'll
start there screenwriter zack stense
revealed on kevin smith's podcast
that he and his former writing partner
ashley miller wrote a script for fox
that would have featured every marvel
character they had the rights to at the
time
[Music]
yes unfortunately
we're talking the x-men rubbing
shoulders with the fantastic four as
well as daredevil and even deadpool
they can't just dust off one of the
famous x-men how about that putts with
the giant pigeon wings
what do those do anyway huh carrying
three feet off the ground to snatch up
the nearest muffin crumb
no no no no no no i am not
x-men material at all while stence
didn't go into plot details we can only
imagine how crazy that would have been
probably at least as nuts as the cameo
the fantastic four almost had in
deadpool 2.
number 9 die hard and 24.
while never officially confirmed a
crossover between these two action
franchises was heavily rumored
in the early 2010s the original title of
the fifth die-hard film was intended to
be
die hard 24 7 which led to speculation
that it would have been john mcclane
teaming up with jack bauer
george i need a favor
i need you to call your boss and ask him
to give me clearance on the
identification of this source
other rumors put the crossover as being
developed because of die hard five's
poor reception
now you're a world-class screw-up you
know that john i'm a screw-up
i'm a screwer i'm still your father yeah
nothing i can do about that
whatever the timeline of the could have
been series or film it's an idea we'd
love to see put into action
sure mclean's more fast and loose
approach to fighting terrorists and
other bad guys would clash with jack
bauer's more serious approach
i am not messing with you you are gonna
tell me what is happening
but that's what makes buddy cop story so
good it couldn't be worse than a good
day to die hard
that's right try not to forget it
number eight hellraiser and halloween
[Music]
i'll see you in hell
as wild as the planned crossover between
these franchises and jay and silent bob
would have been we think the one just
between hellraiser and halloween would
have been even better
according to pinhead himself doug
bradley talks were held around the
release of freddy vs jason with
hellraiser writer clive barker set to
script and john carpenter to direct
bradley claims the project didn't go
forward because the producers with the
rights to halloween at the time
didn't want the two franchises
interacting oh no
tears please it's a waste of good
suffering although both franchises have
had something of a revival recently
we'd still have loved to see these
horror icons on screen together
have you ever really liked a girl and
you just couldn't have her
i'm i'm sorry man i'll just i'll peace
out your hair man
number seven batman meets godzilla
uh what
that's right during the late 1960s there
was actually a plan to cross
adam west's batman with godzilla king of
the monsters
a 22-page treatment exists for this
planned film
though who wrote it remains unknown the
basic plot revolves around a german
meteorologist who threatens to destroy
japan using godzilla who he's
controlling remotely
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
the caped crusaders are brought in to
help and godzilla falls in love with
batgirl
fat girl bad girl bad girl bad girl
bats and surrounded by bats batman then
defeats godzilla by knocking him out
with an explosive
after distracting the big reptile with a
manufactured mating call
from a female godzilla
this absolutely bonkers idea never went
through though due to waning interest in
the batman tv series and its creator
passing on making a sequel number six
stanley kubrick's the lord of the rings
starring the beatles
here comes another head scratcher from
the 60s the beatles have their sights on
bringing
j.r.r tolkien's the lord of the rings to
the big screen
with paul mccartney as frodo ringo starr
as samwise gamgee
george harrison as gandalf and john
lennon
as gollum
[Applause]
they were interested in having stanley
kubrick direct it and filling it with
original songs
however kubrick wasn't interested
claiming it was impossible to adapt
also they couldn't convince tolkien to
sell them the rights as he didn't care
for their music
while it probably wouldn't have been a
faithful or good adaptation
we're still morbidly curious about what
could have been
come on mr frodo i can't carry it for
you
but i can't carry you number five
reservoir dogs and pulp fiction astute
fans of quentin tarantino's filmography
are no doubt aware that there are
several connections between his films
look part of your job deck is going
different places that's the beauty of it
we've got places all over the place
they tell you not to worry one of the
most notable is that two of the
characters in his early
films vic vega and vincent vega from
reservoir dogs and pulp fiction
respectively are brothers
the director talked for years about
doing a prequel film featuring the
siblings
which would reportedly have been set in
amsterdam and been called double v
vega you know the funniest thing about
europe is what it's little differences
i mean they got the same [ __ ] over there
they got here but it's just just there
it's a little different
ultimately the actors ages put a nicks
on the possibility of making it a
reality
you might say tarantino barked about
this idea but never bit
are you going to bark all day little
doggie
or are you going to bite number 4 men in
black
and 21 jump street the only planned
crossover
between comedy franchises to make our
list this one got farther than many of
our entries so far
all right that's great wow where should
we report to
down on jump street 37 jump street
no that doesn't sound right that's it
the planned crossover film between men
in black and 21 jump street would have
been called
mib-23 and would have featured the leads
of the latter franchise encountering men
in black agents
a script was written by rodney rotham
and james bovin was set to direct
sadly both franchises have moved on with
jonah hill citing the difficulty in
blending 21 jump street's metahumor with
mib's tone
is this freaking you up
still the possibility is still open what
do we have to say to get the attention
of the people who can make this happen
my name is jeff number three
gi joe and transformers my name is
optimus prime
we are autonomous robotic organisms from
the planet cybertron
each of these franchises based on hasbro
toys has done big numbers at the box
office
despite being largely lambasted by
critics
yet their similar big action set pieces
do feel cut from the same cloth
plans to create a shared universe
between the two franchises have been in
talks since at least 2013.
also in talks for inclusion are films
based on mask
and micronauts although a writer's room
has been established
little information has been made
available since 2017.
it's possible that there's more than
meets the eye to this crossover's
prospects for the future
but it'll take a real american hero to
bring it back to the limelight
you've got people out there that need
you
and so do i number two godzilla and king
kong and pacific rim
come on this is a no-brainer crossover
right
pacific rim is a franchise about giant
mechs punching giant monsters
and the monster verse is all about the
most famous giant monsters of all
[Music]
chocolate meets peanut butter bada bing
bada boom although pacific rim uprising
director stephen s denite expressed
interest in the crossover producer kell
boyder seemed to put a knicks on the
likelihood of one in the near future
though he also thinks it quote might be
cool
might still given how successful the
monsterverse films are and how mixed the
reception to pacific rim seems to be
maybe the latter needs a few more wins
under their mechanical belts
before heading to the title fight

number one freddie versus jason versus
ash
sure we got the horror villain versus
horror villain fight in freddy vs jason
but there was also talk of a sequel with
both of them up against ash williams
hero of the evil dead franchise
name's ash
housewares all three are icons of 80s
horror
and seeing them duke it out on screen
and maybe deliver some dark humor would
have been a blast
unfortunately there were some
disagreements behind the scenes
according to freddy krueger actor robert
england evil deadhead honcho sam raimi
wanted ash to win
while england was fully on board new
line cinema was not
there was a comic book series made out
of the idea but it still would have been
pretty groovy
to see on the silver screen
