Sequel Of Choice
 

If you could have a direct sequel to any movie ever, whether or not parties involved have passed away, regardless of who holds the licenses, etc, what would it be? Put the TMNT aside, though.

The film I'd most love to see is Super Mario Bros. 2. The SMB movie is probably my all-time favorite, next to the turtle trilogy. I really can't wrap my head around how it's so hated. If the games didn't exist & that flick came out as is, it'd be considered a cult classic today. Folks only trash it because it's nothing like the video games, but that's the fun of it! It's mad original, really bizarre, very aesthetically pleasing & absolutely a product of it's time. The soundtrack, cast, set/clothing design, animatronics & puppetry are all super rad. It had a sort of cliffhanger ending, & I spent most of my youth waiting on bated breath for the sequel that never was & never would be, having no idea that it was universally panned. A return to that universe with Yoshi at their disposal would've been ridiculously dope, to me. Fun fact: The Mushroom Kingdom was built/shot in the same place as The Foot's headquarters, a cement factory in NC. Wanna visit one day.

I'd love it if we had gotten Gremlins 3, Ghostbusters 3, Rush Hour 4, & maybe Batteries Not Included 2, as well.

I would have liked a sequel to Speed Racer. Dredd, too, but they're both considered failures. Boo.

Flight of the Navigator or The Cat From Outer Space. Two of my favorite movies as a kid, and would have loved if the Mouse House had followed up on those.

I would have rather have seen Spider-Man 4 than Amazing Spider-Man. It would resolve plot threads and give us a mix of everything in a way only Raimi could deliver. It would have been nice to see a script for the film if anything.


I would be interested in seeing a Face/Off sequel. Perhaps have Castor Troy's son take after his father's terrorist ways and want revenge on his step father. It would make sense to happen.

Tropic Thunder 2. I do not know what the plot for this one would be, but its bound to hilarious.

Besides Serenity? :P

The rational part of my brain says it's best to leave it alone, but... if I have to pick one...

If they could recapture the magic, I'd really like to see a followup to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The keyword is "if". But that movie was so, so good, and I feel like checking in on Harry and Perry 10 years later, even deeper in neo-noir style Hollywood seediness, could be a lot of fun.

I really want a sequel to Prometheus. Recent reports have Ridley Scott scheduled to start shooting Prometheus 2 in January but I won't believe it until I see it. There were some problems with the first one but I instantly wanted to see Shaw and David head to the Engineer's home when the movie was over. I hope they steer away from trying to tie it into the Alien mythology and just focus on getting the story right without the tie-ins.

A sequel I know I'll never get is John Carter.

Can't think of any off hand....maybe a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel, but it ended well enough...and Gremlins 3 if they had a good story.

I do however feel, like a co-worker of mine, that it'd be awesome to visit alternate dimensions where things like Superman Lives and the Will Smith as Neo Matrix movie was made.

Maybe a 2nd Season of Next Mutation...would that count?

John Carter of Mars was going to be the name of the sequel to JC IIRC. And yeah that's my choice. It'll never happen since Disney abandoned the rights, the good news is technically John Carter is in the public domain so a new chance of JC hitting it big is a possibility. I actually really liked the Disney version, the casting, the effects, the changes in the story, the soundtrack but oh well.

We may still be getting this one, even with the new Rush Hour TV that is being filmed now. I kind of want RH4 but I'm not sure why because even though I am a huge Jackie fan I hated 2 and 3. I guess Chris Tucker/Jackie Chan still had some lolworth dialog even if the movies were terrible.

I doubt I could stomach a season 2 , but I am curious if April O'Neil, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Casey Jones would appear as rumored. Also put an end to the Dragon Lord plot. Maybe send Venus back to China where she belongs?

Lost In Space. The movie did poorly when it was released in theaters back in 1998. Since Hollywood chooses to do either remakes or sequels of older movies, then let them reboot LiS.

As Cure mentioned, I wouldn't mind seeing another Dredd movie being done (should that ever happen.)

Speed Racer definitely. Ghostbusters 3 also.

Hellboy 3 cause they need to finish the franchise. Even Ron Perlman who really doesn't want to go through the makeup again feels like he owes one more movie.


I would have said Evil Dead 4 but we are getting Ash Vs Evil Dead so thats good.

Ghostbuster's 3 would have been nice instead of this crappy reboot.I would have rather had the sons take over the family business.

Where we Bebop & Rocksteady rumored? I've never once heard/seen that & I'm a big fan of the series. Casey & April were, for sure, they even had concept art, but I highly doubt B&R would've been involved. The costs for that + a lack of support from Eastman & Laird makes it seem a given they'd not even be considered...

Word, but without Harold Ramis there's no point. I'd have loved a Ghostbusters 3 a few years ago, using the game's story, but not now. Just let it die.

I dunno, I doubt it. Jackie's not really for it. If you Google Rush Hour 4 & peep the most recent interviews with him, he says he'd need a good reason & doesn't believe there is one.

My list above would most definitely have included Beetlejuice & Pee-wee's stuff, but since they're both abut to get new installments, there's no need. :)

Oh yeah, I would have liked a sequel to the Evil Dead reboot. I liked that movie a lot.

Ya I can't wait for Pee Wee's Big Holiday and Beetlejuice 2. i also agree after the video game they should have left Ghostbusters alone. But hollywood can't do that.

I read it years and years ago on the Ring of Green when I researched the cancelation of the series. The henchmutants, April, and Casey Jones were set to appear in a second season. The knowledge bit just sticks out. I can ask Dan Berger if he has any insight if you are curious enough. I know I would not pill that random, but out of this air. I would have preferred Rat King to those two in the show personally.

The Losers. So unfairly underrated.

Spaceballs. Mel Brooks owes me a sequel, dammit! It was even rumored to be in the works several years ago, but sadly, never got anywhere. Not sure who would take Candy's place, if anyone, but.... I REALLY want to see it happen.

There are more but that is what comes to mind right now.

Off the top of the head - Serenity, Dredd, Dog Soldiers, Gremlins 3, Goonies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Galaxy Quest, True Lies.

You can't make a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire without Robin Williams, God rest his soul.

Again, you can't make Ghostbusters 3 without Harold Ramis. Plus Bill Murray flat out refuses to do it, so. :P

Yeah...

Mario & King Koopa, Bob Hoskins & Dennis Hopper, of the SMB movie, my original post, they're both dead too.

Howard the Duck 2.

I'll admit, I only skimmed your original post. :lol: It's late, I'm hungover. My bad. :P

Here's another then: A sequel to The Crow with Brandon Lee. :rolling:

You called? LOL! Yes!! I SO want that one, too!

Since we're discussing awful movies, how about The Room 2? I would LOVE to see Tommy Wiseau attempt acting again.

Y'know, for some reason I was exclusively thinking movies that haven't had sequels yet. Yeah, all of these are on my list too.

And I completely forgot about Pacific Rim, Brave, and The Incredibles. I'd love to see those happen as well.

John Leguizamo goes solo in... SMB2: The Year of Luigi

Featuring Danny DeVito as Wart!

I liked The Losers a lot, too, actually. A-Team is another one, now that I think about it.

And Incredibles 2 is happening.

I'd love to see another Losers. I was a huge fan of that comic run and though the movie wasn't perfect, it was a lot of fun and had tons of sequel potential. Though I have to wonder if Marvel's Captain America, Gamora, and Heimdall starring in a WB/DC/Vertigo movie would pose some kind of contractual conflict at this point in time...

What about Daredevil 2?

That could be... interesting. :lol:

As is Pacific Rim 2 :D

There was going to be a Mrs. Doubtfire 2. I've always wondered how to do a storyline since she was turned into a tv character at the end. Even so would have loved to see another one.

Don't know besides that. Most of my favorite movies series are continuing somehow.

I liked Howard the Duck too. I'd see a sequel.

Apparently "she" was going to enroll as a teacher at the children's college or something so "she" could keep an eye on them. That was the supposed plot a few years ago but it was scrapped. I don't know what the plot was going to be when they decided to give it another go, shortly before Williams' death. It was probably just as silly.

This, so much.

The comics were BRUTAL, amiright? :tlol:

Well, there is the sequel comic that one of the original writers helped plot out.

I can’t really think of any movies that I’d really want to see a sequel to, most of my favorite movies ended in such a satisfying way that I think a sequel would only cheapen the originals. The only technicality I can think of is “Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie” which was just two pilot episodes for a series edited together. I would’ve like to see how that universe worked as a series.

But I can think of several cartoon series I’d love to see get a sequel. So many of my favorite cartoons lasted two seasons before being canceled. Like Freakazoid, Swat Kats(Might get a reboot), Darkwing Duck(Had a brief comic revival, then canceled. Then the comic was going to be brought back in 2015, but delayed due to the new Ducktales reboot coming in 2017.), Earthworm Jim, Sonic the Hedgehog(“SatAM” At least the characters introduced here live on in the comics.), Sheep in the Big City and that’s just to name a few.

Wow, I didn't know about that, thanks!

Well I actually saw a quick interview with Jackie Chan 3 weeks ago and he was the one who mentioned he was in talks about Rush Hour 4 and that he was having dinner with Chris Tucker that night. So yeah who knows, Jackie does talk about a lot of stuff that never plans out but not long ago he was saying that RH4 wouldn't happen anymore.

I thought Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker had a falling out? I remember around the time Rush Hour 3 came out they said it only just barely happened because Jackie didn't want to do another one.

I always wanted a sequel to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm I know there were some direct to video movies and while Sub Zero was awesome Batwoman sucked. But none of them really captured seeing a DCAU movie on the big screen.

Hellboy 3 also needs to happen.

It's very interesting to me how beloved "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" has become over the years, since at the time it came out it did very poor business compared to what WB was hoping for and the reviews were generally not very good, even among fans. The consensus at the time was, "It's just a really long episode of the cartoon show" and people weren't really digging it.

I like it fine; like I said it's just very interesting to me how people's opinions of it have changed over the years. It was supposed to be huge when it came out, but most people instead called it pointless and unnecessary, whereas since then it's become revered. I have to wonder if it's partly because it was the last GOOD Batman movie in theaters for like 10 years, until "Begins" came out, and people not really appreciating what they had at the time it was given. I'unno.

And yeah, Hellboy 3 would be neat.
