Bridge over the River Kwai wouldn’t work as a sequel. It would feel like a remake.
**Blazing saddles ** probably wouldn’t work either.
I might have watched it Willis had killed Matthew Perry at some point.
That should be “if Bruce Willis had killed Matthew Perry”.
One assumes a convention of two-syllable rhyming titles has been established.
Videodrome.
How Ironic.
Waters wrote and published a script for “Flamingos Forever”, a sequel to “Pink Flamingos”. Quite funny. Unfortunately, Divine passed away before Waters could scrape up the financing to film it.
Y’know, I liked Return to Oz, too. Even when I was a kid, when it scared the living crap out of me. (Now that I’m older, it only scares the snot out of me.)

Are you kididng? David Cronenberg movies tend to have this bizarre “I’ve just dropped a tab of acid” atmophere/plot anyway, so why not?
Sure a sequel wouldn’t make any sense, but niether did Videodrome after the first hour.
Someone proposed that a Titanic sequel should be a macho-guy movie, to make up for all the men who got dragged to see the original.
The premise: Jack’s frozen body washes up on the New Jersy shore in modern times. He is revived from suspended animation, and learns to his horror about the Titanic disaster. With uncontrolled rage, he finds the modern-day headquarters of the White Flag Shipping Fleet (or whatever the company behind the Titanic was), then goes nuts on a blood-soaked rampage.
It could, actually. “Long live the New Flesh” implied an expectation of continued existence in a new form. Maybe as an electro-magnetic entity that creeps into broadcasts, subverting the signal and infecting viewers. The Videodrome carrier was only on a narrow-band, heavily-encrypted signal carrying content that would appeal to a very select few of nasty brutish people – because it was still experimental. Suppose Max, in his incorporeal form, masterminded a more ambitious network (say Vulpes Videonews) that would appeal to the great masses of nasty brutish people…
There was one. It was a made for TV animated movie. Several of the books were done.
I remember:

[li]The Wonderful Wizard of Oz[/li][li]The Marvelous Land of Oz and[/li][li]Ozma of Oz[/li][/ul]
There might have been others that I forgot.
Beat me to it.
(Although I could really get into a prequel about the Tim Roth character.)
Like Survivor or Friends?
Hey, come on, they blew up the entire world t the end of Beneath the Planet of the Apes an they still got three more sequels out of the franchise.
There is NO movie that can’t be "sequelized"
They did it to Gone with the Wind.
They’ve made jokes about doing it to “Gandhi” and “Godfather III”. Death is no obstacle – look at Spock. They brought back Holmes from Reichenbach Falls. Charles Dickens brought back a dead girl for a sequel. You could say an entire season of a TV series is a dream – they’ve done it more than once.
Sorry If this is a repeat, but “The Wizard of Oz” Cannot and sould not be repeated.

Shock Treatment is only a sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show in the loosest possible sense. The hero and heroine are named Brad and Janet and they live in Denton, but they are not played by the same actors as in RHPS and no reference is made to their previous adventures. It’s not clear that they’re even supposed to be the same people. The actors who played Riff-Raff, Magenta, and Columbia appear in supporting roles, but they’re not the same characters.
Richard O’Brien planned at least two different versions of a sequel (involving the original RHPS characters and others, including Janet’s son by Frank) and made it through the rough draft stages, but they were never completed. However, songs written for one of these wound up in Shock Treatment. I believe the “Little Black Dress” number was meant for the revitalized Frank, not Janet getting ready to go on TV.
Any Bible movie, practically. It’d be kinda hard to make a sequel to a film about the life of Jesus.
au contraire. The TV miniseries A.D. was precisely that – they basically did the Acts of the Apostles as a follow-up t the TV series Jesus o Nazareth, IIRC.
And after that — the Letters of Paul.
