Sequels you so badly want but will never get

Title says it all. What are the sequels you would love to see? I have two:

Master & Commander: Anything, I don't care. I love this movie and would love to see the cast together again, especially Max Pirkis, who stole the movie. Do a reboot, pretend none of the characters died, works for me.

Braveheart: I know what you are thinking but the sequel should cover Robert the Bruce. His story is as fascinating as Wallace's. He got off the fence after the nobles betrayed him and Wallace and finished what William started. It was treated as an afterthought in Braveheart but is in fact a complex and incredible story.

Yours?

I don't want any but I wish there were some sequels that never existed.

A sequel to Fight Club would be interesting. There is a graphic novel sequel to the Fight Club novel.

I would have liked to seen the planned trilogy they had supposedly come up with for Unbreakable. That movie screams the first part of a longer story.

Raiders of the Lost Ark. An actual sequel to that story.

And I liked the idea of a sequel to Forest Gump, but the book Gump & Co. wasn't very good.

History of the World, Part II - the teaser just wasn't enough.

I would like to see more of John Carter. I liked the first movie a lot, and I thought they did a great job of building that universe.

Deuce Bigelow 3, I like trash and offensive crude comedies.

re: Sequels you so badly want but will never get

I'd like to see a sequel to The Big Lebowski in some ways. I know comedy sequels are often times not as good but I feel like if the Coens were writing and directing and the cast came back it could be good. I know that we're getting the spinoff film with the Jesus character which I'm going to see but not as excited about as I would be for an actual sequel.

Showed your pic to the 6 people in the room. None of us had any idea what it was. Might help explain why there was no sequel.

Looks like Serenity and I'd love that as well...

I was thinking of this and the long talked about sequel to Super Troopers. But after seeing so many sequels, kind of makes one wonder if sequels really are important or not, unless it's a continuation of an epic story already lined up/written.

Nevertheless, I think recent Hollywood has proven that no sequel is beyond happening at this point.

I wish they had finished the 'Once Were Warriors' series. They did two of the 3 books. The 2nd movie wasn't that good but I would have liked to have seen a 3rd just to finish it off.

Dredd 2.

I saw Dredd so many times. I never supported a flick so much but goddamnit. It was awesome as fuck.

I really wish they had finished the trilogy after Sword of Doom. The first movie is one of my favorite Samurai films, and it ends on a cliffhanger, never to be resolved.

Also as much as I dislike Batman Returns I would have liked to have seen a third Burton Batman film starring Keaton. I don't mind Batman Forever for what it is but I feel like more could have been done with Burton's interpretation.

Huh, I didn't realize that was a sequel--what was the first?

I think DaveyJoe is referring to this tidbit on SWORD OF DOOM's page on IMDB:
The abrupt ending of the film is due to the fact that it was originally intended to be the first part in a trilogy of films based on a lengthy Japanese novel.

I would loved to have seen John Carpenter do sequel about Wang Chi and his sidekick Jack Burton having another adventure. Big Trouble in Little Tokyo? Little Italy? Big Trouble in Little China totally could have been a great 80's series.

Would've loved for them to finish the stories they started.

Yeah, I meant I wish they had made the two follow-up films. Sorry for the confusion.
