23 Movie Premises That Nearly Defy Belief
We complain a lot about Hollywood’s boner for sequels, adaptations and franchises, but maybe we shouldn’t. After all, the whole reason the industry likes them is because they’re tried-and-tested concepts that we know aren’t going to put people off because they’re fucking weird, and when left to its own devices, sometimes Hollywood gets fucking weird.
For example, “in 1994, the movie Junior was released,” Redditor xwing1212 told r/Movies. “It starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emma Thompson and Danny DeVito and was about a scientist (Schwarzenegger) who becomes pregnant. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets pregnant. What even is this movie?”
They continued, “There’s also the movie Crash (not the Oscar bait movie), which is about a TV director who discovers an underground subculture of scarred, omnisexual car crash victims who have a fetishized for car crashes.”

They then asked, “What other movies have some truly bizarre premises?” and their fellow Redditors were more than happy to get weird in the comments.
