Ferris is dating Carrie, who sleeps with every guy in NYC. Cameron is still trying to get laid while working in the Mayor’s office where he pals around with a gay guy and Marty McFly.

Not exactly a sequel, but along the same lines of **Everafter** the retelling of Cinderella, where She rescues the Prince. I think more re-tellings of classic fairy tales like this should be done.  
**Lethal Weapon 97** : We have no plot, Murtagh is retired. Riggs just stand there without his shirt on for two hours being a wise ass to the camera.

**Zorro** Antonio Banderas. Catherine Zeta-Jones. Need I say more?

Like Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump. ( Who had a member of his family at fight ( and die) in every major war.)

Soylent Green 2:  
Soylent Green is _still people!_ They didn’t change the recipe like they said they would!

Man, Phil Hartman did such a great Heston . . .

Wasn’t there some talk of a sequel to Spaceballs a few years ago?

I would LOVE a sequel to _Blood of Heroes_ Proably couldn’t involve the same characters, but anything set in the world would be cool . . .

I’d love to see a sequel to “Serial Mom”, but I don’t think that they would be able to get Ricki Lake or Sam Waterston to reprise their roles, but if they did, that would be one hell of a funny movie.

Stand-alone caption from [The Onion](http://www.theonion.com) a year or two ago:

“Jake Lloyd cast as the young Dark Helmet in _Spaceballs_ prequel.”

(Or maybe it wasn’t Jake Lloyd. I can never keep my kid actors straight.)

Or:

Soylent Green is _people!!!_

Soylent Blue is _ **puppy dogs!!!** _

(puppy dogs being much more shocking than pills made of people, what with PETA and all the animal rights orgs, etc.)

I would love to see a sequel to

**The Zero Effect**

Bill Pullman did such an excellent job playing that character…I would love to see some more cases taken on by Daryl Zero. Plus I’m sure they would come up with another killer soundtrack.

I heard a rumor that they were planning “Spaceballs 3: The Search For 2”. Unfortunately, it remained, of course, a rumor…

There was talk of a History of the World Part II (they even wrote a script and had a preview for it at the end of HOTWPI) but it was never made for some reason…too bad…it looked reeeally funny too ☹

I want to see the sequel to Army Of Darkness.

Yes I know there are three Evil Dead Movies already. I want more.

Darn, Shirley, you beat me to it!

_Starship Troopers_ doesn’t need a sequel, it just needs to be erased from history and remade properly with powered armour.

Hey, maybe that could be the plot for _Terminator III_ - we send Arnold Schwarzenegger and/or Robert Patrick back in time to prevent Verhoeven from leaving out the armour…

I’d cry my friggin’ eyes out if they made a sequel to Princess Bride. That movie is just do beautiful and perfect to mess up w/a sequel.

Though Edward Scissorhands was a brilliant movie by itself, I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel. I always wonder what happens to him after he is destined to stay in that house for eternity and make it snow (come on, there had to be more to it than THAT!).

No it doesn’t.

How about a sequel to **The Thing**? I might even thaw out John Carpenter’s career
