Fictional sports can be great worldbuilding tools.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Sports movies are big business, but sometimes a movie concocts a sport that doesn't even exist. Sci-fi and fantasy movies often create fictional sports to flesh out the worlds of their stories, but other genres also have games which don't exist in real life. In some cases, a fictional sport can be so compelling that people try to figure out ways to carry it over into the real world.

Each event of the Scare Games eliminates one team, and competitive scaring is the final. Mike and Sully's Oozma Kappa fraternity are the underdogs against Roar Omega Roar. Competitors have to enter a mock bedroom and rack up the highest possible score on the scare simulator. They are given information sheets on the children they are supposed to scare, and the competition showcases the different tactics used by the movie's fun variety of creative creature designs.

Top Secret is a great parody of spy movies, but it's also a hilarious send-up of Elvis Presley's acting roles. Elvis was such a big name that he could sell movie tickets even if his movies were never as influential or popular as his music. Val Kilmer stars as Nick Rivers, an American rock and roll star who becomes the only man capable of stopping East Germany from carrying out a terrorist attack. It's exactly the kind of cockamamie plot Elvis was drawn to.

Visually, motorball borrows heavily from the 1975 sci-fi movie Rollerball, which in turn is a more violent version of roller derby. Motorball can therefore be described as roller derby played at supersonic speeds with chainsaws, flamethrowers and blades. Alita: Battle Angel 2 could pick up immediately after the events of the first movie, with Alita rising through the ranks as a motorball star.

The robot boxing featured in Real Steel is bigger and more explosive than anything humans are capable of, but it comes without any of the danger. It's a combination of human techniques and mechanical power, and this makes for some memorable fight scenes. The Hugh Jackman movie could easily have started a franchise, but director Shawn Levy wasn't interested in making Real Steel 2.
