Now when I see that scene as an adult I immediately think, Dick Tracy would immediately have been kicked off the police force for essentially just going on a killing spree.

And considering it made $457M worldwide on a reportedly $130M budget, plus anything they got on DVD/Blu-ray/rentals, it didn't do bad at all. Add to that I doubt Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger and Justin Bartha (or Jon Voight) cost that much, the budget for a third would still be manageable.

Ha, kids are more sensitive to violence than adults since they haven't been too exposed to it in their short life times, I vividly remember violence in some of the movies I saw. At the end of Dick Tracy I definitely remember one character getting shot in the head (although there was no blood) and several others getting mowed down by a tommy gun.

I haven't seen it since but I thought it was super cool back then. I had a black Breathless Mahoney t-shirt with Madonna on it that I wore a lot.

I wonder how Dick Tracy 2 would have worked, didn't he kill like everyone in the climax? I remember seeing it at like six and my Dad saying it was really violent for kids. Plus I think Big Boy slaps Madonna around.

Dick Tracy could give all his missions to a cartoon dog or a racist stereotype for them to bumble through.

Someone connected to the movies said they are scripting a third one.
I remember. It was Bruckheimer. Here's the article: http://collider.com/national-treasur...d-boys-3-news/

Rocketeer 2
Disney botched the marketing on the first one, and that's why it became the only one (they originally planned on a franchise). Bummer. It's a really good movie.

Not that Hellboy 2 would have been a blockbuster, but it also happened to open the week before The Dark Knight and a 70% second week drop.

Quality wasn't the issue as both were extremely well received, the first movie has an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and the second movie is at 87% and one of the higher rated comic book movies.

Seriously, The Rocketeer got glowing reviews and fan reaction was very positive. There's a reason why Joe Johnston got the first Captain America gig, and that reason is The Rocketeer.

I'm still holding out hope for a Breakin' 3. I want to find out what happens to the Electric Boogaloo.

Heard there was supposed to be a 3rd Tony Manero movie too, after Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive. Maybe they could have him doing that "B-Boy" thing.

Re: Cancelled sequels that you were looking forward to?
I would have loved one final movie with The Next Generation cast as that's probably my overall favorite cast of any Trek. I'll be honest I know that Nemesis was a let down but there are some things in it that I like. I think the reason it gets a lot of hate is the fact that it is the last one and it felt like a downer for that cast when they should have went out with a bang.

Like Prometheus and the Star Wars Prequels have proven, some ideas are better left with the imagination.
