I'm flabbergasted that you've obviously gone to some lengths in thinking this through.
It's not a bad thing, just sort of, 'Wow!', type thing.

It's not my theory,
I came across it on the netz as I read conspiracy theories for fun. But this one came with a "here's what I've noticed, here's what to watch for, go and test it out to see if it's true" invitation which I thought would be fun to try.

So I watched Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout and thought to myself "actually, this does seem to work".

I plan to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang soon as that's another Shane Black movie with two male leads. If that fits the pattern I'll know Shane Black at least is actually kinda weird.

It would be 'interesting' if the theories could be applied to something like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for instance

The theory can be applied to any genre of film
The guy whose theory this is says that Hollywood 60% of the time is telling the stories of about 8 or 9 religious/mythological figures over and over again and all they do is tweak the setting and the genre just enough so that you don't notice unless you've been handed the key to unlock it.

So yes, kids movies too like the Road to El Dorado, can contain these religio-mythic retellings. But they don't do it with every film. They don't make every film and it seems to be mainly the work of certain studios, such as Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures and those affiliated with them.

I haven't seen it
But by all means if you can get hold of a copy, you can see if it matches the formula.
