10 Fictional Sports from Movies
It’s fun to wonder about 10 fictional sports from movies at least and whether they are possible. Unfortunately, some are impossible.
Quidditch
Yes, people do actually play this on broomsticks. Sadly, they can’t fly, but maybe that’s a good thing.
Rollerball
Many people might think of the original film with James Caan, but Chris Klein and LL Cool J took part in a remake. In any case, it makes the NFL look tame.
BASEketball
Leave it to the guys behind South Park to come up with a game that requires little, if any, real talent. But it did make for a funny movie.
Podracing
Yes, this looks like fun. But it also looks like a way to take your life in your hands at high speed—almost like interstellar NASCAR.
Competitive Scaring
Amazingly, some people might be able to give the monsters from Monsters University a run for their money. But then, a monster fraternity named OK isn’t exactly terrifying.
Whack Bat
Imagine cricket and baseball combined with a few more oddball rules that make it pleasant and confusing. Thank you, Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Skeet Surfing
It is what it sounds like: shooting skeet while surfing. It’s not something that you should try unless life suddenly becomes like the movie Top Secret. Movies are movies, and anything goes sometimes.
Motorball
Unless you’re armored like Alita and her fellow competitors, it’s fair to say that no one should play this game. Not only is it brutal, but it’s the type of game that would probably be outlawed in real life unless it was dialed down a lot.
The Hunger Games
This is the type of game one would expect to see if another civil war breaks out and the majority of the USA loses to one dominant faction. In that case, though, it does feel as though the main point of the story might come true.
Robot Boxing
When knocking a guy’s head in isn’t good enough, there’s always Real Steel, which shows carnage on a thankfully inhuman level. But considering that it’s robots tearing each other apart, many people can get behind it.
