Even when they are good (Firefly) people don't watch.

hardcore action and romance..
the end of Total Recall almost killed the entire genre for me..cheesy as hell!! of course it could be Arnold kissing anything, but who knows..i do wish that ending was a dream.

Slapstick/Drama or Slapstick/Tragedy

I was gonna say Slapstick/War until I remembered...

Slapstick / War = Hot Shots and Top Secret

Slapstick/Western = The Villain (Starring Arnie and Kirk Douglas)

How about

Porno/War = Shaving Ryans Privates (forget that one)

Fantasy/Sci Fi = Krull and Yor, Hunter from the Future

Porno/Horror = about 1 million Italian Horror films.

Slapstick/Horror = Scream etc...

Is there a genre combo that has not been done?

I was going to say Musical Documentary (that someone else pointed out) But if it is a musical, wouldnt that mean it is not a documentary unless it is just a concert film.

Slim Pickens on a sub in 1941 is awfully close.
