Another vote for Gremlins 3.

I've never seen something get zero stars here before.

There was never a sequel to Yor, the Hunter from the Future.

And that's bullshit.

PenguinJoe

I don't want Ghostbusters 3, the video game is good enough for me, Dan Akroyd looks terrible, Harold Ramis passed away, Rick Moranis has become a hermit. I see no joy in this movie.

The Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel was actually going to be a prequel set during WW2, it was all a go until like 1998 or so, the guy who voiced Roger Rabbit had to go into treatment for throat cancer and hasn't really done that much stuff since except minor tv roles and some small voice parts.

"The Vega Brothers" would have been cool, I think Travolta and Madsen are too old because it was going to be a prequel of them in Amsterdam but the coolest thing would have been on their flight their stewardess was Jackie Brown whom is somehow involved. QT discussed it a few times that he did an outline but it never happened.

EddieMoney

Not to nitpick, but you really must admire how Rick Moranis has conducted his life. A truly great person.

My Other Self

Aykroyd is turning 62 next month, so he looks his age.

Rick Moranis retired from acting when his wife died so he could raise his children. He's living a "normal" life in Canada now.

Tourista. I will be curious if anyone knows what it is from.

Not the sequel to a shitty horror movie.

I forgot about The Vega Brothers. That could have been an awesome film if it were made but yeah it's too late to do it now obviously. Tarantino has so many good ideas for films that never go beyond being a good idea on paper unfortunately.

davidh777

The Golden Compass 2 and 3. I hear the books get worse, but that's what they say about The Hunger Games as well, and I'm optimistic about that franchise. So a good filmmaker could have made them good.

Michael Corvin

Oh man, the Vega Brothers. I've always been lukewarm on Tarantino's films (after RD & PF) but that one would have been pretty damn cool.

They're all too long, but I got curious and looked up the running times on IMDb:

138 minutes - Master and Commander

143 minutes - Pirates 1
151 minutes - Pirates 2
169 minutes - Pirates 3
136 minutes - Pirates 4

Pirates 4 is the only one that felt to me like it breezed along, which makes sense considering it's the shortest of them all... and it also came after Pirates 3, which felt about as long as the fucking Jurassic period. By the time that movie was over, I had evolved into a mutant and some bald guy in a wheelchair came to see me about enrolling in his school for the gifted.

Hornblower got it right: 95 minutes. But god forbid you make a seafaring adventure film these days that's less than two hours; audiences will apparently complain if their bladders don't explode before the halfway point.

I don't love Terminator: Salvation but I enjoyed it enough to be interested in seeing Terminator sequels that take place in the future.
National Treasure 2 was actually enjoyable considering I didn't care for the first one very much. I'm surprised they never made a part 3 especially since I got the feeling they set it up at the end of part 2.

An Independence Day sequel was a no-brainer in the mid-90s. My teenage self was really looking forward to it. Not so much nowadays.

Alan Smithee

"Eddie and Palmer will be back..."
That and Airplane III are ones I remember being announced at the end of actual movies but never happening.

E Unit

PhantomStranger

That is one I would like.

I was always disappointed they never did Daredevil 2. People forget, but Daredevil wasn't totally reviled when it first came out. In the days before X2 and Spider-Man 2 some even considered it a pretty nice step forward for the genre. Also, both of those movies showed that often times these franchises needed a movie to work out the kinks and that the second one was usually superior. I was disappointed Fox never gave them the chance.

Of course Elektra sucked balls, so who knows.

GCS

Making the Grade - Judd Nelson movie as I recall.

And yes I would liked to have seen that as well.

Also another vote for National Treasure movies - something about them is fun for me and the family even with Cage in them.

dugan

I didn't think so. I thought that the third book was a huge step up from the previous two.

Michael Corvin

Wow. I was just going off memory. I seem to remember M&C getting flack for length.

dhmac

That Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is better than any of the Pirates of the Carribean movies, I completely agree.

But... I still like the 1st POTC movie - and even the 4th one too.

The problem is POTC movie #2 and (especially) #3. If edited together into just one movie that's about 143 minutes long, it probably would have been pretty good. But as 2 movies, it's a chore to get through them both (especially #3). They were 1 film's worth of plot stretched into 2 movies.

hanshotfirst1138

I've always thought that the problem with POTC was that it was kind of like a joke you heard at a party. It was kind of mildly funny once. The sequels ran it into the ground, IMO. I love MAC, but sadly, it was a box office dud and therefore remains sequel-less while we have more POTC films inflicted on the public . The POTC movies are also classic examples of B-movies with 90 minutes worth of material that are grotesquely bloated and overlong.

godzilla rules

This perfectly describes almost every Bruckheimer movie released since 1998.

PhantomStranger

The director's cut isn't bad for Daredevil. I think Fox abandoned the franchise when they realized the character was nowhere nearly as popular as Spider-Man.

DJariya

Daredevil wasn't even a bomb. It grossed $179M worldwide on a $78M budget.

I think FOX rushed Elektra into production even though the script was awful because Jen Garner was the it girl at the time being on Alias on ABC.
