Sequel Of Choice

*Powder* · 08-04-2015, 09:43 PM

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.
