LOL Don’t even get me started on Sixteen Candles or Fast Times at Ridgemont High! > [@Nunzio\_Tavulari](#): > > Buckaroo Bonzai will return in Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League God, I remember that, I hassled the poor guy at the video store for years about a release date! [Here the end credits with that snazzy little musical number](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MqJ3iGBdOo)! [_Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_and_the_Sorcerer)also promised viewers to see the continuing adventures of Talon in \*Tales of an Ancient Empire. \*This “not really a sequel” was finally produced and [released on DVD in January 2012.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_an_Ancient_Empire) The film ends with the promise of another sequel, _Red Moon_. Arrgg, will they never learn!? > [@Wargamer](#): > > The obligatory ‘I wish that _Highlander_ had a sequel.’ post. Damn you, you’re not quickening matters. > [@chargerrich](#): > > The Warriors… come out and plaaaaaaaaaaay! > [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > I’m on board with _The Warriors_ too. I always wondered if Swan really did just take off, or if stuck around Coney and led the boys in more bops. > > Of course, I like to image the actors in other roles are playing out the sequel. So in my world, Swan went on to be a roller-skating pussy who fell in love with Olivia Newton-John, and after Ajax (real name: Ganz) got out of juvi, he moved to San Francisco to fuck with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. That’s hilarious! Mercy, eloped with Ajax but after he beat her she moved back in with her father, Ted Knight and his gay roomate Monroe. Luther also went the San Fran to fuck with Eddie and Nick until he was “let go” by the Governator! Rembrandt dropped the nick for Ricardo and went on to lead The Bloodhound Gang. D.J. goes on to become “The Chief” of the Gumshoes and swears vengeance on Carmen Sandiego and her rival gang V.I.L.E. Vermin became a news anchor in Dutchess County, NY. Cochise became a bit part actor. Snow became a NY State Trooper and Cleon… actually went on to work for the New York Transit Authority! ---

> [@cher3](#): > > **Master and Commander**. I’m a big fan of the books, and I thought the movie captured the spirit pretty well. I’d love to see one with some of Stephen Maturin’s spy stuff included. Precisely what I came in to post. I had heard that a sequel idea was being half-heartedly discussed, but that it had to do with Jack Aubrey’s trial for stock-fixing. Bah! That would be the last storyline I’d choose for a movie. Like you, I’d prefer to see espionage during the time of the Napoleonic wars. ---

> [@jackdavinci](#): > > I wish The Golden Compass had made enough to warrant sequels because I’d love to see a children’s movie with gay angels and an insane God. The studio didn’t even have the balls to say that the Magisterium was the Church. (Not that the Church in Lyra’s world has much in common with any current religious institution in ours.) No way Balthamos and Baruch would have made it in, and I suspect the other anti-clerical stuff would have gotten axed as well. I also seriously doubt they’d have killed off Roger. Simpering cowards. ---

If another U.S. Marshals film starring Tommy Lee Jones were to be made, I’d want to see it! Of course, if the film were to be made, it would be the third one since the film named The Fugitive is pretty much the first. 🙂 🙂 🙂 God bless you and Tommy Lee always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Holly ---

> [@Nunzio\_Tavulari](#): > > Buckaroo Bonzai will return in _Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League_. Oh, definitely. I’ve been waiting for that for a looooong time. > [@RikWriter](#): > > _The Rocketeer > Sahara > Galaxy Quest > The Incredibles_ Y’know, I could get behind all of those. _The Incredibles_ is probably the most likely to have a sequel; Brad Bird has said he’d like to do one, but wants a great script, and they just don’t have one… yet. Crossing my fingers! > [@Wargamer](#): > > The obligatory ‘I wish that _Highlander_ had a sequel.’ post. Damn. Beat me to it. > [@Morbo](#): > > Would absolutely love to see Gillermo Del Toro do a sequel to _Hellboy_. No really - I liked the second one. Maybe some backstory into how Johann Kraus got that way, and a revisit from the Death character where Liz really does experience the consequences of the deal she made. I would want to the entire movie to be like that “Toro-esque” scene with the Death character, and dial back the slapstick. Enthusiastically seconded. > [@cher3](#): > > _Master and Commander_. I’m a big fan of the books, and I thought the movie captured the spirit pretty well. I’d love to see one with some of Stephen Maturin’s spy stuff included. Likewise. Dunno if Crowe and Bettany are maybe a bit too long in the tooth by now? They might have to recast it. Adding: I’d love to see a _Dark City_ sequel, if it were done well, with Murdock coming to grips with his awesome powers, dealing with boobytraps left behind by the Strangers, and figuring out where - and when - Earth is. It probably couldn’t be done, but a sequel to _Limitless_, which I really enjoyed, would be nice. Best movie I saw all last year. Eddie could continue to fence with Van Loon as his political career takes off - maybe we even see him reach the White House, but threatened by some revelation from his past as to either the drug, the death of the blonde, the Russian mobster or what really happened in his luxury apartment that fateful night… ---

WRT Hellboy I think they were waiting for the comic to resolve the prophecy thing. Have they gotten to that yet? > [@CalMeacham](#): > > **Who Framed Roger Rabbit** — they apparently wanted to do this, but it’s hard to get the various squabbling parties to agree. There was a follow-up comic, not to mention the three Roger Rabbit theatrical shorts (anything that gives us more Roger, and especially more Jessica, is welcome), but another movie coulda been good.

> [@Mr.Accident](#): > > …I always wanted a sequel to Will Smith’s Wild Wild West. Also would love to see one for Evolution, Slither, and Night of the Comet. (Yea, I love cheesy movies.) I’m curious how **Night of the Comet 2** would work. The zombies have already turned into red dust; would it just follow the same 6 survivors we saw at the end in their adventures in empty LA, or more survivor groups, or longer lasting zombies, or what? The comet isn’t due to pass by Earth again for 65M yrs. I’d leally like to see what happens a few yrs after **District 9** when Christopher Johnson showing up with more ships and an intact hive, but I’m affraid any sequel would just turn into another standard alien invasion movie.
