Actually, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and Terminator II have that in common...well, they have many things in common. But both are very skillfully created crossover films--they satisfy fans of more than one genre by delivering all the elements in one cohesive package, and allowing the elements to play off of, and synergize with, each other.
And big surprise...audiences proved able to handle the cocktail, and both films made a LOT of money...
They say there is nothing really new under the sun, and that creativity exists in the recombination of existing elements. If that is so, I want new and clever combinations to stimulate my mind.
