Remember all of the HORRIBLE sequels that were spun out of Hollywood? Teen Wolf Too...The Sandlot 2...Dumb and Dumberer...Grease 2...and all of the ENDLESS Bring It On flops! Well what about the sequels that we DESERVE to see?
5. Freddy Vs. Jason 2...Now I know some of you are thinking...Is he serious? But come on! New Line Cinema had the chance to make horror movie history with the first film. Two icons clashing for the ultimate title of Horror Movie Baddass! Then, the movie came out and...Eh. I remember sitting in the theater and the New Line logo hit the screen with a combination of the Nightmare and Friday music, I actually got goosebumps. Then, when the film was over and the lights came up, I remember thinking, "Is that it?" Hollywood has a chance to make this right. Bring in Robert Englund and bring in Kane Hodder. We do not need to see the Badnews Bears version of Freddy versus a beanpole Jason Voorhies. We need FREDDY KRUEGER and JASON VOORHIES in a free for all bloodbath! Heck...Throw in Michael Myers or Ash in there if you need to, but FIX THIS!
4. The Incredibles II...The first film was, how do I say it, INCREDIBLE! This was a fabulous Pixar/Superhero flick that had so much potential for more! Comedy! Love story! Action! Jack Jack! And ultimately...Sam Jackson! Pixar gave us more than one Toy Story, how can they not give us more INCREDIBLES! The storyline options are endless! With a Monsters Inc. and Nemo sequel in the works, I can only hope for this dream to become a reality!
3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure III/Ghostbusters III...Again you are screaming at me now yelling, "Jeremy, those franchises did have sequels and they were horrible. That is exactly right...time to fix what they broke! I mean come on, the originals for both of these franchises are AWESOME. Then, Hollywood as it usually does, decides to capitalize on something fantastic and they ruin it. Now don't get me wrong, I loved Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey and Ghostbusters II, but I really think it was out of loyalty more than anything. If you watch the original and then the corresponding sequel, the second movies just leave bad tastes in your mouth. We need more Ted Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esquire and less STATION! We need more Murray, Ramis, Aykroyd, and Hudson and less pink mood slime and Viggo! Give me the threequels that will satisfy my hunger!
2. Willow II...Hollywood really dropped the ball on this one. This was Lord of the Rings money making material before Lord of the Rings was even thought about. Kilmer, Davis, and Ron Howard! Great characters, great storyline, and great visual effects! And THE BROWNIES!!! Can you imagine what one could do with this sequel given the special effects available today? Willow II must happen, after all has Kilmer been doing anything lately but binge eating? And Davis, do we really need another Leprechaun movie? Give me some Willow!
1. The Goonies II...The BEST movie EVER! Seriously...Who was not affected by the movie The Goonies? Kids are still watching it today and it STILL has the same effect on them. This movie is iconic and holds a special place in my heart. I remember seeing it in the theater THREE times, which was unheard of to do back then. Money was scarce and there was no point to go to the movies and waste money and time like that. The Goonies was no waste! Adventure and excitement...A children's version of Indiana Jones. Kids today NEED The Goonies! Seriously, look back at our youth. How many went seeking adventure in the woods and used their imagination growing up? The Goonies helped promote that thematic aspect. Children today don't use their imagination enough. They kick back and play video games and play on their phones or tablets. If thrown into a Goonie adventure they couldn't hack it. That could be the storyline. The parents teach the kids what it takes to be a Goonie. The Goonies II could help save our children and future society! Where are you Richard Donner and Cindy Lauper when we need you?
So Hollywood...skip the wasted remakes and the sequels that nobody cares about. Give us what we want and what we need! And if you can't figure it out...Give ME a call...
That's nice...JM
