Cool shit Vs. Other cool shit

Not enough of this around. Aliens Vs. Predator is a fine idea, but let cack-handed, low-rent clowns make it and you get what you pay for. But back in the day movie moguls knew the 'vs.' conjunction is nigh-on irresistible to the film-going public. Wolfman vs. Frankenstein, kung-fu kings vs. vampires (Legend of the 7 golden vampires - check it) Godzilla vs. King Kong, Mecha-Barbara Streisand vs. Mega-Robert Smith - all perfect late night entertainment. Freddy vs. Jason too. In fact, there's been loads of 'vs.' flicks, but we're greedy for more.

To wit - reports of a new movie will hopefully yield a flood of similar titles. 'The Knights Templar' is a spec script bought for loads of spondoolicks because it's an ace idea. Crusades dudes in armour defending the Holy Grail from hordes of vampires. Knights vs. vampires. We can but hope that in Hollywoodland, shrewd suits will twig that putting cool shit vs. other cool shit is the way forward. Submit your ideas for 'vs' movies in the comments link below, and we promise we won't steal them.
