Movie sequels that don't exist and never should!

[VaderBomb]

Figured this would be more interesting than the usual Best Sequels/Worst sequels discussion.

I'm on my way to work, I'll add some tonight but feel free to start without me.

Most movies ... ?

Sequels shouldn't be done for most films. There's only one situation where I think a sequel is really warranted and that's when the film is really about one character. If the selling point of a film is the identity of the protagonist, then a sequel makes sense. Lets take Batman as an example. If the first movie is about a thing that happened to Batman, then it makes sense to have a follow up depicting the next thing that happens to Batman. Because Batman himself is the reason that people go to see these films.

But if the selling point of the movie is a particular plot, premise or high concept then you should have said all there really is to say in the first movie. Making a sequel after that will either just dilute your initial concept leading to diminishing returns on future movies, or it will come across like an entirely different film simply piggy-backing off an already popular title in a cynical attempt to sell more tickets.

I understand that, but the thread was moreso targeted at films that would have comedically pointless sequels that should and would never exist. WCV nailed it.

Ah, that makes sense. Didn't realise it was a gag thread.

The Wrestler II: Randy "The Ram" Robinson comes back from the dead wearing eyeliner and a trenchcoat, and begins to sporadically appear at wrestling shows and bury talent on major pay per views. The film is incredibly repetitive, but everytime Randy returns, fans lap that shit up as if they haven't seen it a million times before. DISCLAIMER: This is entirely a work of fiction and is in no way based on any real-life wrestler.

Other shouts:

After Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) is arrested for embezzlement, he is sent to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago. He is surprised to see his new cell mate is none other then former school mate and fellow detentioner Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez). The two reminisce but are soon thrown into upheaval when John Bender (Judd Nelson) is falsely accused of having betrayed a rival gang leader instigating a prison riot. The three former friends meet up in the facilities library as lock down takes effect. Left with only one other prisoner "Red" Hughes(Dave Foley) and female guard Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy). Will they manage to stay hidden together long enough to make it through the night? Will they be able to help each other find the sources of their criminal lives?
