Most of the times, it is better off if the sequel to a movie was not made. There are probably a few movies that would have been nice to have one. Which movie(s) do you think should have had a sequel?
The Never Ending Story
A Brief History of Time
Your wish is your command....Roland Emmerich is going to do either a two-or three part sequel, set 20-25 years after the aliens were routed. We're living with the consequences of the attempted invasion, rebuilding and trying to integrate the alien technology into our own.
What we don't know is...before the destruction of the mothership....they got off a distress signal. Round 2 is coming. No firm date yet, but it's soon. (This is from Ain't It Cool News.)
Encino Man
I agree. It is one of those movies that I can see over and over again because of the performances and the many quotable lines.
Waterworld!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Never Ending Story when I was a young lad.
.
Oh YES!!!
Great stuff, truly an ADVENTURE!!
Well, both are crazed control freaks...
.
YES!! Great stuff!!
Exactly!.. My hopes were up when I heard that. Great movie.
The sequel should begin with the onset of the Great Depression, which finds the two protagonists, Gaylord and Magnolia in dire financial straits. So Gaylord seeks out his contacts from the underworld that he had made while he was a gambler in Show Boat I. He soon finds himself involved in a lucrative arms smuggling racket. The Spanish Civil War breaks out, and they are soon smuggling arms to the Republicans in Spain and raking in the dough.
While involved in helping the Republicans, they are introduced to Marxism-Leninism and Magnolia quickly becomes a convert. After Gaylord is killed when his ship filled with munitions explodes after being hit by a German bomb in Barcelona harbor in 1938, Magnolia returns to the US to work as an NKVD spy.
Unmasked in 1949 during a HUAC hearing, she tries to flee but is cornered by FBI agents on a bridge over the Mississippi River. Preferring to die for her cause, she jumps off as the G-men approach--and lands on a hammock on the deck of a show boat that just happens to be passing under the bridge. She can't believe her incredible luck: the "show boat" turns out to be a Soviet spy ship. The movie closes with the ship sailing eastward toward the Soviet Union with the Internationale playing in the background.
E.T.
I wouldn’t mind a good western either!
We're living that sequel.
Curious, an explanation of what?
Gone with the Wind even though I couldn’t bring myself to read the book that was the sequel.
