Top 10 Fictional Sports in Movies and TV


these are the sports we wished were real
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
fictional sports from movies and TV and
this juncture the odds of my winning
this hand are less than 39 to 1 for this
list we’re considering only sports that
aren’t real but have appeared in films
or TV
we’re omitting the Hunger Games though
since that isn’t exactly a sport and
more like a live streaming
death-sentence meets a game show so
without further ado let the games begin
number 10 Makarov Star Trek The Next
Generation Tom yes it is a very ancient
Klingon ritual it tests your knowledge
of the forms of the McMorrow even in the
distant future eating the shit out of
people is still as popular as ever
this Klingon martial art can be
practiced as a purely hand-to-hand
combat sport but can also involve
weapons Tai Chi Chuan it’s called the
crane block now let’s try something else
based on a real martial art experts Dan
Curry was inspired by the fighting style
of Tai Chi Chuan but sped up all of its
movements to make it more awesome and
create Muk Bharat this sport mainly
appears in the background of the next
generation but we certainly wouldn’t
complain if we could see a bit more of
it but perhaps next time you are judged
unfairly it will not take so many
bruises for you to protest number 9
Brown pre or speed racing speed racer
hello it’s the Grand Prix Caulfield
while auto racing exists in real life
it’s safe to say we have nothing quite
like the type of speed racing depicted
in this sports action flick
based on a manga series of the same name
this movie follows the adventures of a
young man named Speed Racer breakfast
mangas move honey for the lady called go
Mifune in the japanese version he comes
from a racing family and is desperate to
become a racer himself probably because
his parents named him Speed Racer with a
quarter lap to go Speed Racer is back
when speed finally does make it to the
big leagues
he discovers that the races are rigged
they’ve known the winner of every Grand
Prix for the past 50 years it’s always
fixed against great odds racer manages
to win the race with his stylized racing
car and thanks to his cars mini mods and
handy gadgets as well as the gravity
bending race tracks the film offers up
some really awesome race scenes
number eight Pokemon battles Pokemon
that’s right I am too weak to work but a
Pokemon battle isn’t work it’s
everyone’s favorite sports show about
creatures being trapped in balls and
made to fight each other by the humans
who captured them why can’t you to
understand it’s not right to force
pokémon to battle this way though it
started as a video game the idea was so
popular that it quickly got turned into
an anime TV series whose plot vaguely
follows Ash as he trains to become a
Pokemon master
as always ash is determined to become a
Pokemon master
this includes hitting his Pokemon
against all manner of strangely named
creatures with various powers the
animated television battles are more
free-flowing than the turn-based ones in
the game but they retain the same spirit
and originality that have turned Pokemon
into a major franchise both inside and
outside of Japan number 7 light cycle
match Tron franchise after a game
inventor is trapped in his own game he’s
forced to take part in the light cycle
matches these high-speed battles are
used as marshal games in which those who
resist the master control program are to
fight to the death
players try to track their opponents
between the trails that these futuristic
two wheeled bikes leave behind
just as dangerous as the lightness
battles these competitions between
humanoid computer programs add layers of
guile and cunning as well as high-speed
awesomeness to the Tron movies number 6
rollerball rollerball is a dangerous
sport in fact the goal scoring game on
rollerskates puts the full into full
contact players are encouraged to smash
into their opponents as hard and fast as
possible help some players even get
motorbikes
but imagine that as soon as you get
really good at the sport as protagonist
Jonathan does the rules are changed to
kill you oh come on everyone else is
being asked to play with the no penalty
rule and pressure me to quit you see the
games are put on by evil corporations
that are trying to show the futility of
individualism so as soon as someone gets
good at it be careful because rollerball
can get real dangerous no five
Transcontinental Road race death race
2000
the premise of the death race is fairly
simple while it lacks speed racer’ speed
this game makes up for it in murder and
destruction
the object like any other race is to
cross the finish line before any of your
competitors but most races won’t let you
kill innocent bystanders let alone
encourage
all right and yes sir we clean hip the
fact that racers score points for
running people over doesn’t seem to
diminish the enthusiasm of the fans
either even if some of them end up as
unlucky points themselves and again with
plenty of dystopian Camp David Carradine
in a gimp suit and Sylvester Stallone as
the bad guy what’s not to be a fan of
here
number four bass ketball I thought you
said you didn’t want us to play ball
do you like basketball but hate the
exercise then you’ll love basketball the
idea behind the game is simple it’s like
basketball with baseball rules and all
the moving is replaced with Ecklie how
in a field
deep inside me the writers of South Park
starred in this film about two slackers
who invent a sport for the lazy best
part about this game is the great insult
the participating athletes come up with
mother’s a terrible cook everything from
your mom jokes to eric cartman
impressions are fair game in this sport
tell us something why his golf exists in
real life but not this
number three pro-bending The Legend of
Korra only one team stands in their way
this sport from the same universe as the
last airbender is all about territory
and the elements using earthbending
firebending and waterbending the players
try to take up as much space in the
hexagonal ring as they can wouldn’t you
have guests who knew the rules of pro
bending throwing all opponents out of
the ring results in a direct knockout
and what are these highly skilled
players called benders of course okay so
it’s not the coolest name out there let
this be a warning to all of you benders
out there but this sport is still fun to
watch and adds more entertainment to an
already fantastic animated series valve
honks it’s a controversial call but the
wolf-bats notch out nasty knockout to
win the match for the fall here in a
role he’ll be crowned tournament
champion number two podracing Star Wars
Episode one The Phantom Menace has
anybody ever seen a podrace The Phantom
Menace may not have been the best movie
in the Star Wars franchise actually it’s
probably the worst musical chat some
Pink’s but it’s pod racing scene is
still great this high speed race takes
place on the desert planet of Tatooine
between competitors in one-man flying
machines the event regularly leaves many
of the participants dead and the one we
see in the fourth film of the Star Wars
saga or first in the prequel trilogy is
no different
this isn’t exactly surprising
considering some of the competitors from
this gangster planet don’t exactly play
fair yeah we all saw you break that you
freaky lizard thing before we get to the
greatest fictional sport of all time
here are some honorable mentions
basically there’s three grabbers three
taggers five twig runners and the player
at whack-bat Center Tiger legs of
pinecone chucks are the basket and the
wack patter tries to hit the cedar stick
off the cross Rock
everybody else that’s my signal prepare
to throw row number one Quidditch Harry
Potter franchise come on now hurry up we
all know this awesome entertaining
slightly confusing game played by
witches and wizards on broomsticks
basically players called chasers score
goals by trying to throw a Quaffle
through air hoops you with us so far
then there are beaters who try to make
sure their teammates aren’t hit by balls
called bludgers by directing them at
their opponents with the use of wooden
bats meanwhile the keeper defends the
hoops and the seeker has to catch the
Golden Snitch you got all that one more
thing
everyone is flying around on broomsticks
sure the sport has its flaws after all
the snitch is worth 150 points and once
you catch it it pretty much makes
everything else that happens entirely
pointless the only thing I want you to
whatever is this the Golden Snitch
but Quidditch also looks like mega fun
and all the rules won’t stop us from
watching it and even wanting to try it
if only we could do you agree with our
list what fictional sports would you
like to play the most for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
