Sequels you May not Have Known Existed

How about a sequel to Blade Runner? KW Jeter wrote two of them.

Johathan Chance:

Last time I checked, they were collected into one volume under the title Logan: a Trilogy by William F Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.
widdershins:

They are both based on novels by the same author. The Wild Geese and [The Square Circle] by Daniel Carney. Both out of print last time I checked. I have never read either one, so I don’t know if there is any connection between the books. And there was a really bad German/Italian movie released in the US under the title Codename: Wild Geese that has even less connection to the others.

How about not? One good reason - “Tell Tommy I Miss Him”, the sequel to “Tell Laura I Love Her”.

Whoever mentioned the Three Musketeers sequel Twenty Years After: that one is in fact quite well known due to the tragic death of actor Roy Kinnear during the filming of the movie.

CRAP! Y’all already said everything I was gonna say.

Tremors 2-4 (4 is kinda a prequel - set in the 1800’s - comes out Jan 2nd! I bet it’ll suck like 2 and 3!).

Return to Oz (CREEPY - I love it. Hard to find at rental places, tho)

From Dusk Till Dawn 2-3 (or 4?).

Has anyone mentioned the 2, 3, and 4 of Tx Chainsaw Massacres? With 4 having Matthew McConheuyauauy?

Howzaboot the 70’s kinda prequel to Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas (Where the Buffalo Roam? I think?) with Bill Murray. It’s fun watching a man shoot a type writer. But I like Johnny Depp as Hunter S Thompson better. :slight_smile:

That’s all I have. Crud.

Ooh. Or The Crow 4. Forgot about the Crow movies. I only saw 1 and 2.

What about the Witchboard series? There have been at least nine sequels!

Your best bets are alibris.com, amazon.com, bookfinder.com, or eBay. All three books are available now at alibris. Run and World are available at bookfinder.

All three books were collected under the title Logan: A Trilogy, which is usually easier to find than the two sequels. There are three copies for sale at alibris, ranging in price from $124.95 to $749.95. There are seven copies for sale at amazon, ranging in price from $100.00 for an ex-library copy to $423.53 for an autographed first edition.

How about The Birds II: Land’s End?

I’ve seen it. It’s terrible. I believe one of the reviewers at IMDb characterized it as not being much about birds and more about some couple’s boring marriage problems.

Tippi Hedren does have a small role, but it is not related to the previous movie in any way.

I got 5 words for you

Return of the Killer Tomtoes! (I wonder if George Clooney is more ashamed of this or Facts of Life)

wait… 4 more

Killer Tomtoes Strike Back! (The secret word is THE!)

Hold on… 4 more…

Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (Fuzzy Tomato to the rescue!)

Yes, I’ve seen them all.

There are actually seven Howling films to date, mostly in name only after about the third one.

mbh, thanks, I’d didn’t know about the Wild Geese connections through the books. I read the first one years ago, but was unaware of a sequel. I remember seeing Operation: Wild Geese on TV once, and laughing at such a blatant attempt to cash in on the name.

Speaking of O:WG co-star Klaus Kinski, he apparently starred in something called Nosferatu In Venice, cashing in on his film with Herzog. I’d love to see it someday, since he is less rodent like and has hair in this one from what I read.

Odinoneye, I’ve seen George Clooney mention ROTKT many times in interviews as his response to questions about what was his lowest point filmwise while trying to establish a career. Since Gary Condit was an extra in the film that can only add to the shame. Although I liked the jokes about the “full contact” version of the America’s Cup yacht race in the movie.

Don’t forget the Killer Tomatoes saturday morning cartoon. IIRC though changing some details from Return, it was actually pretty good. Then, it switched networks and began to suck.

BTW- I have a can of tomatoes autographed by John Astin. Instead of just signing his name, he drew Dr Gangrene’s seal of disapproval and a warning not to open the can. Heck of a nice guy.

Wasn’t Desperado a sequel? (To The Three Mariachis or something like that?)

It was kinda sorta a remake of El Mariachi, which Robert Rodriguez filmed on an extremely low budget.

What’s even more surprising (well, at least to anyone who has bothered to watch these crummy movies), is that the sequel (aka about eight different names, some of which don’t even mention the good doctor) was directed by Mario Bava! That’s right, the guy behind “Black Sunday” was responsible for it!

Although when you start looking at those AIP films from the sixties, the connections that start to pop up are incredible… for instance, the house band at the “Condor Club” in the first “Dr. Goldfoot” (I don’t believe its actually the interior of the Condor, which was a very historic topless bar in San Francisco’s North Beach) was “Sam and the Apemen,” and I’m pretty sure that Sam was actually Sam Butera, legendary sax player for Louis Prima.

While many people know that The Fly (1958) had a sequel, Return of the Fly (1959), did you know there was a third movie, Curse of the Fly (1965)? Despite the title, there is no curse in the film, nor is there a fly. I was dreadfully disappointed. I mean, when you sit down to watch a Fly movie, you don’t expect brilliant filmmaking, but you do expect to at some point see a guy with a giant fly head. Is that too much to ask, really, that our Fly movies have a guy with a fly head somewhere in them?

Poo on you, Curse of the Fly.

I’m not sure that is cinematically possible.

Didn’t An American Werewolf in London go to Paris later?
Support Your Local Sherif was followed by Support your Local Gunfighter not sooo good.

Pearl S. Buck’s THE GOOD EARTH had two sequels that are almost never assigned as reading and haven’t been filmed. The second book in the series is SONS, in which the two sons of Wang Lung (who is now dead) extend the family fortune while constantly squabbling and the final book is HOUSE OF WANG, in which the family begun by a peasant in the first book is now the same as the idle rich decadent house that Olan served in the first book (until revolution comes).

Contrary to what many people believe, ALIEN RESURRECTION is actually a sequel to THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN and ET rather than to ALIENS. (Oh wait, I got that confused, but the part about Pearl S. Buck is true.)

Correction to the above:

Pearl S. Buck’s GOOD EARTH TRILOGY is as follows:

The Good Earth (volume 1)

Sons (which deals with the three sons of Wang Lung, who still do not have names- Wang the First, Wang the Merchant, and Wang the Tiger [a warlord] are how they are referenced)

A House Divided (and NOT “House of Wang”, as it is called above, though this name is sometimes applied to the trilogy) focuses on Wang Yuan, son of Wang the Tiger, and the years he spends in America before returning to China during the Communist revolution. Though it is nowhere near as well known, many literary critics consider this the best novel of the series and possibly the best Buck ever wrote.

It is. I can attest to it. I own both films.
