I know, I know, not many people are fans of the sequel, but aren’t there ever some movies out there you feel SHOULD have been finished? Movies that didn’t end the way you thought they should have? movies that shouldn’t have ended? It wouldn’t even have to be a whole movie…maybe even a half hour or so, making sure there was an ending. I have several in mind, but i am working on narrowing them down to 5 choices.

Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension

Extensive cross-media exploitation (comic books, music, series) is explicit in the premise of the Film.

I hear that Big Toruble in Little China was originally a sequel that was re-written. (I’ll have to rent it and see if I can find any signs.)
