A quarterback for the LA Rams is hit by a truck. An over-zealous angel takes his soul, not realizing that he was supposed to live many more years. His soul is placed into the body of a just-murdered (drugged and drowned) multimillionaire, who uses his money to aid a blind woman terrorized by thugs who think she has heroin in her home.

"Heaven Can Wait Until Dark."
I actually remember "Wait Until Dark" because Marisa Tomei was in a run of the play some years
ago and I remember hearing about that one. "Heaven Can Wait" I remember from a commercial
where they used a text-dump moment from the movie.
"I'm not Leo Farnsworth. I'm Joe Pendleton. Farnsworth is dead..." I forget the rest.

You got it.
I thought that the earlier version of this movie was called "Waiting for Mr. Jordan," which would have made a movie that was it's own remake: "Heaven Can Waiting for Mr. Jordan." Unfortunately, the original was actually "Here Comes Mr. Jordan." Phooey. :)

Ok. It's got a lot of detail, so I was confused at first. It sounds like 3 movies or shows because "Big Trouble in Little China" is that kind of movie. While humming the theme song, I was eventual

To inherit the huge fortune of a game-maker, several people compete in
a race to gather (without buying) all sorts of things in the hopes of
earning the most points- winner gets the fortune! The game-changer is
the item worth far more points than the others- a submarine! They
find out a Soviet one is approaching the US coast, and they all try to claim
it for their team. This 1979 ((1990) film has a wide ensemble cast.

The 1990 portion is probably that Sean Connery/Alec Baldwin flick. I'm hunting for the other half.

Perhaps a "Treasure Hunt for Red October"?

Perhaps not.
The treasure is the prize for the winner.
They're not looking for valuables, as such.

Oh! I get it. So you're describing the vultures and pirates looking for treasure, not the treasure itself.

Then perhaps a "Scavenger Hunt for Red October"?

"Scavenger Hunt for Red October" was correct.
"Scavenger Hunt" was a little 80s film (1979, actually) of a madcap chase comedy.
The cast list is extensive, and I like to use the movie from
time to time in Triple Movie Links as a result.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079858/
Vincent Price, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Avery Schreiber, Liz Torres, Stuart Pankin,
Dirk Benedict, Tony Randall, Willie Aames, Meat Loaf, Roddy Mc Dowell, Scatman
Crothers, Cleavon Little, Cloris Leachmann, James Coco, Richard Benjamin.
Honestly, I don't think it gets nearly enough airplay. It's family-friendly
and fun to watch at least once.

If I've got the right movies, I think this was a very nice connection. It sounds like it's one movie, doesn't it?

I was happy when I was able to link the 2 "Oz" movies the way I did.
Ok, next movie.
Since a foreign monarch's search for a teacher for all his children
comes up blank, he has one built for him by a scientist who reanimates
dead tissue. The result serves as a teacher for a short time,
but leaves to wander the Earth, and ends up warring against demons
on Earth disguised as mortals.

Is this a triple (or more)?

It's a standard movie Before-and-After with 2 movies.
Just like with "Big Trouble in Little China", 1 movie can sound like 2
because more than 1 thing happens in it.
And don't forget I have to actually mesh the description into 1 thing.

Most likely "Iron Man of Steel".
("Iron", of course, being more of a name or a descriptive word and not
a technically accurate one. As was pointed out at the end of the
movie "Iron Man", the armor was a titanium alloy but the name
sounds better as "iron".)
Actually, the concept here reminds me of the Amalgam character "Iron Lantern."
Hal Stark found the crashed spaceship of an alien, and used the Power Battery
to power an armor that saved his life and could form energy constructs when
he focused his will.
