Prequels nobody wants to see.

Those are both better than Cold Duckling Broth.

The Private

Baby Frankenstein

It’s a Wonderful Birth

A Hard Day’s Day

And of course, who could forget that prequel to a hit Oscar-winning short film, The Right Trousers? Apparently, a lot of people.

You know, I hate to nitpick (Ok, I rather enjoy it, but even so…), but the “00” numbers don’t indicate any kind of seniority- for example, 002 is not 005’s superior.

It’s also implied in the novels that most of the 00 operatives are actually dead, and that the numbers aren’t recycled- so if 003 gets killed by SMERSH, 004 doesn’t get “promoted” to 003… he keeps his number, the next agent recruited becomes 009 or 0010, etc.

Someone who’s got more time to get into the intricacies of the James Bond Universe might be able to explain it better than I, however…

Umm…Martini…? :smack:

It’s called a “joke”, which is a technical term describing a witticism intennded to engender yuks, as Cecil might put it.

Lesser known Jackie Chan movies:

  • Plans 1 through 8 from Outer Space * would certainly not fare well at the box office.

Likewise, * Sternly Worded Diplomatic Notes of the Worlds * starring Tom Cruise and directed by Stephen Spielberg would be an even bigger turkey than the film they actually did make.

  • Making Bill Feel Awfully Uncomfortable * wouldn’t have done much for the careers of Umma Thurman or Quentin Tarantino.

  • Prince Kong * would likely only feature a chimp on top of your local IHOP with a kewpie doll in its hand, so I don’t think we’re getting any financial backing for that one.

Even Mel Brooks wouldn’t touch * Kindergarten Frankenstein. *

I think these are more fun when you add comments about the movie, myself. Anyway, here’s some more:

Robin of Lochsley Farms While King Richard Prepares To Go On The Crusades. Watch Sir Lochsley’s servants till fields! Watch Robin visit the King and say nice things about him!

Doing Just OK, Thanks was made before the Beatles hit the big time. Watch the silly antics as they have trouble booking hotels. “You’re who, again?”

It’s A Slightly Eccentric, Slightly Eccentric, Slightly Eccentric, Slightly Eccentric World starred Jimmy Durante as Smiler Grogan serving fifteen years in the pen.

American Crayon Drawing featuring ill-behaved pre-teens riding their bikes around town on a spring afternoon.

The Bandit and His Trucker Buddy Make Some Safe Runs Without Running Into Any Smokies At All really didn’t do Burt’s career any favors.

Pink Floyd’s Picket Fence just didn’t have the edge of the later movie.

Some Slaves Escape as a prequel to Glory. No, wait. That could actually be really good.

I know it’s a joke… just one that doesn’t make any sense if you’re a James Bond Fan. :wink:

Of course, to your average film-goer, it is indeed most amusing. I’m just being pedantic. :smiley:

The Sound Of Tuning Up was poorly received, spurring Rodgers and Hammerstein into devising something more ambitious.

Charlie Kane Happily Playing With His Sledge, despite its warm’n’fuzzy ‘feelgood’ factor, sank at the box office. Nonetheless, the producers felt they had the germ of a good story.

John The Baptist, Really Good Prophet was a flop for Rice / Lloyd-Webber, but it contained some good tunes. Rather than abandon the project altogether, they embarked on a major re-write.

Despite the vast special FX budget, The U Men was not well-received. The even more ambitious follow-up, The V Men suffered a similar fate. The producers, still believing they could make the franchise work, decided on one last try…

The orignial Rochelle wasn’t enjoyed much by Jerry Seinfeld and his friends, but the sequal proved much more popular.

That prequel would be called * Shop Rats Sleeping Instead of Building Cars *
