You have 10 sequel points and you could use these points to give sequels to movies that you wish would have gotten one. You can even give a movie multiple sequels but remember each sequel cost 1 point and you only have 10. Which movies would you give? I'll start with mine

One sequel to the 1986 movie Labyrinth - Always wanted Sarah to return to the Goblin Realm for another adventure and maybe this time with him as a ally.

One sequel to the 1980 movie Flash Gordon - Absolutely amazing and would have really liked at least one sequel of it.

One sequel to the 1986 movie Big Trouble in Little China - Love this movie so much and my favorite Carpenter movie next to the Thing.

One sequel to the 1991 movie The Rocketeer - My favorite live action Disney film and really enjoy all the characters

One sequel to the 1995 movie Judge Dredd - many see Stallone as Rambo or Rocky but really liked his role as Judge Dredd

One sequel to the 1989 movie Return of the Swamp Thing - Lots of sequel potential but only used one sequel point since I'll rather save a point for another movie.

One sequel to the 1983 movie Krull - The fantasy version of Star Wars and massively underrated

One sequel to the 1987 movie Masters of the Universe - Another one with great sequel potential and would have used more than one point but decided not to.

One sequel to 1985 movie Red Sonja - Really enjoyed this movie and wish it would have gotten a sequel

One sequel to 1984 movie Conan the Destroyer - This will complete the trilogy with King Conan as the third Conan film.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Event Horizon (though a prequel that follows the original crew would be better)

 

[T8SC]

Aliens (I don't mind Alien3, but it was cobbled together and doesn't make sense how an egg got stuck upside down on the Sulaco. Blomkamps Alien5 would've sufficed).

The Rock (Follows what happened to Mason & Goodspeed after finding the microfilm).

National Treasure 3.

Event Horizon (Prequel & sequel).

Alita: Battle Angel (There's still hope for this one).

Galaxy Quest (Because one was in development hell until Alan Rickman passed away).

Dredd.

True Lies (Another which was being developed but stopped after 9/11).

Ace Ventura.

Ghostbusters 2 (A proper sequel with the original 4 in their prime).

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I will do my best to avoid requesting sequels to movies where the actual sequels disappointed.

The Truman Show - Truman becomes an internet celebrity and finds himself right back where he started.

The Departed - Marky Mark apparently pitched a sequel where his character would come back. I'd watch it.

Office Space - The original is timeless and speaks the true-true even today, but a more modern version could be interesting.

Pulp Fiction - Tarantino could pull it off, and the anthology setup makes sequelizing easy.

Forrest Gump - We've got 30 new years of history Gump could meander through.

Videodrome - Updated for the new dominant media.

Doubt - It's one minute long and gives a conclusive answer to "Did he or didn't he?" lol

 

[T4keD0wN]

Wish they did a 3rd conan movie with Arnold instead of the reboot.

6 sequels to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 2023
2 sequels to Serenity 2005
1 sequel to Inception 2010
1 sequel to The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015

 

[Power Pro]

Putting all my points into this. Not much else I would want to see potentially ruined by a sequel at this point. Too many movies have had sequels brought into existence by a monkey's paw.

I usually enjoy the first sequels for many movies. It's mostly the third movie that ruins it for me like Aliens 3, Robocop 3, Terminator 3, Blade 3 etc etc.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Master and Commander and John Carter are the only things I wish could've had sequels.

The world of John Carter is more interesting than any of these comic book "Universes" to me or modern Star Wars.

 

[Seraphym]

Got to say OP, your list is pretty good.
I would only skip Labyrinth, Krull, Masters of the Universe and Red Sonja. Giving me 4 points back.

My Dredd would be Urban and 2 points to allow for the Dark Judges and Cursed Earth across two movies, I would stunt cast Stallone as Johnny Alpha.

The other two points would be for a sequel to Man of Steel, not necessarily Zack Snyder as the director, but loved H C's portrayal.

My left field choice and guilty pleasure is Hawk the Slayer, there is a comic but I would love a proper sequel.

 

[Hookshot]

Can we instead use the points to remove 10 sequels?

 

[Come On Tars]

Pacific Rim

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Can we instead use the points to remove 10 sequels?

Sure lol.

 

[Represent.]

The one I genuinely wanted the most is actually happening - 28 Years Later (28 Days Later sequel)

 

[MastAndo]

I always wanted to see a sequel to The Goonies, having been obsessed with it as a kid. There had been talk of one recently, but I don't care for a modern take. I wanted one a year or two after the first with the original cast.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit as well. Robert Zemeckis has said a great sequel script exists but never got made. Also there is a literal sequel novel to forrest gump where he gets old and talks to jennys ghost (imagined) and goes to desert storm and shit

 

[Boralf]

It's probably a very bad idea, but I really wonder what they'll do with the idea of Fight Club these days because it's themes have probably become even more relevant. But maybe I just need to rewatch Fight Club, which I will do right now.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

- 5 Points to a Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me sequel. FWWM was originally supposed to be the first in a Twin Peaks movie trilogy, but the sequels were abandoned after FWWM failed at the box office.
- 5 points to continuing the Cornetto Trilogy. Pegg, Frost, and Wright don't miss when working together. They could probably make 10 more of these and I bet they'd all be great.

 

[Gp1]

Masters and Commanders sequels (there's a bunch of books to choose)

Tom Clancy Without remorse sequel (which is basically Rainbow Six the movie. Probably a bad ideia given how Without remorse was a shitshow and every one who cares about R6 would probably expect the Ubisoft clancyverse, not the real one)

Rush 2 (the F1 movie. It's one of the most logical sequels of all time. Rush 2: Prost vs Senna, the problem is Senna's family is so obsessed with the untarnished legacy that they would never allow it)

 

[Trilobit]

One sequel to District 9.
Two sequels to Inception,
One sequel to Tenet.
Two sequels to Pacific Rim by Guillermo del Toro.
One sequel to Alien that is actually horror in the same vein of Alien 1.
One sequel to A Quiet Place: Day One that runs simultaneously and actually provides us with an exciting Day One or Day Two story, instead of the pizza-hunting story we got.
One sequel to Life (2017) that takes place on Earth.
One sequel to Annihilation.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Rocky Balboa

 

[Husky]

2 points to Solo: A Star Wars Story, completing the trilogy.
8 points to Scary Movie

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Total Recall

Eraser

 

[Trunx81]

10 points to Hellboy 3 by del Toro

 

[The ninja farmer]

Would go with the following (and ignore any sequels that were made, like Netflix trash)

Dredd, with urban. And make it a double to complete a trilogy

Alien nation. More adventures with the sh!thead and George

Commando. Not much more needs to be said

Master and Commander. Just do some of the books

dark angel. The world needs more I come in peace and freaky cd weapons

A real robocop 3

The Truman show. As mentioned. This time for the internet world

Dawn of the dead. From the Zak Snyder remake. But Zack can only direct.

Pacific rim. This time with less kids

Tenet. Maybe this time be slightly less confusing in how your big plot device works. Maybe also bring in a John wick guy, to do the action

As a bonus way of the gun. Just more drifters causing trouble adventures. Or they survived and still want their money

 

[The ninja farmer]

Total Recall

Eraser

Had them on my list. With maybe an eraser trilogy

 

[Badlucktroll]

A rip roaring rollicking high seas atlantis indiana jones in the mid 90s. a real ghostbusters 3 in 93 or 94, but some of the reasons we didnt get some major sequels was the actors were being assholes

 

[Lord Panda]

I'll try not to list movies already mentioned.

3 points to a proper Star Wars sequel trilogy based on Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire etc)

Battle for Los Angeles 2

War of the Worlds 2

Two points to John Carter 2 and 3

True Lies 2

Batman 3 with Keaton and Tim Burton

Kung Fu Hustle 2

Michael Mann Shares ‘Heat 2’ Filming Update & Casting Rumors

Michael Mann is making a sequel to his 1995 film Heat and is sharing an update on when he plans to begin production.

deadline.com

To be based on the book which is both a prequel and sequel.

 

[Hrk69]

Rocknrolla - It was obviously teased but I'm sad that this is probably never going to happen
Mad Max: Fury Road - no explanation needed
The Adventures of Tintin - love this film and would absolutely watch a sequel
The Man From Nowhere - this is basically the Korean version of Taken. A sequel with more brutal fight scene's would be greatly appreciated
The Nice Guys - Gosling and Crowe had excellent chemistry. Give them more silly scenario's and the script will write itself
Kill Bill: Volume 3 - I'm absolutely certain that Tarantino could write a script where Beatrix Kiddo takes down even more enemies
Hanna – it could continue with Hanna exploring her identity or clashing with new bad guys as she grows
Prisoners - just give Jake Gyllenhaal another case to solve. Make the film even darker and please include more shots of pouring rain
The Big Lebowski - it’s hard not to imagine a follow up where the Dude finds himself in a bizarre and chaotic scenario
The Road - you can go in many directions with this one

 

[Drake]

1 point for Serenity
9 points for 9 sequels to Master and Commander. (18 books in the Aubrey–Maturin series I believe)

 

[Power Pro]

E.T

Probably the closest you'll get.

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Batman 3 as mentioned w/ Keaton and Burton
Matrix - a real sequel to the first movie. Not the trash we all received.
Nightmare on Elm Street reboot in 2010
Aliens deserved a different sequel than Alien 3.
Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, needed a japan focused sequel
Cowboy Bebop
Tom Clancy movies (take your pick)
Godzilla Minus One
X files I want to Believe
A Tom cruise focused sequel to Tropic Thunder

 

[Hrk69]

The Raid 3

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Most of the films I really love are stand alone films but these are the first to come to mind.

Constantine, I gather there's one maybe coming, but I mean sequels from the time. (2 films)

John Carter - I think this is fairly universally regarded by people who actually watched it as being pretty good, but for some reason it was a massive flop and killed Riggins from Friday Night Lights' career dead. (1 film)

Edge of Tomorrow - you could have easily thrown Cruise back into the time loop. (1 film)

Step Brothers 2 - this should have happened. (1 film)

I'd be tempted to go for more original cast Ghostbusters, as mentioned above too. (2 films)

Maybe some "then what happened?" With a follow up to Ex Machina. (1 film)

Another Indiana Jones with Sean Connery to follow The Last Crusade. (1/2 films, not sure).

If I have one left over then I would choose to have, in 2024, a brand new Police Academy film starring the original cast but with some new recruits - all the kids from Stranger Things all of whom are new characters except for Eleven who confusingly, is playing her stranger things character. Special cameos from The Rock, Margot Robbie, Timothee Chalamet, Ryan Gosling. Oh, and it's Tarantino's last film.

 

[YCoCg]

5 on Dredd and 5 on Alita Battle Angel

 

[bitbydeath]

The Belko Experiment

It has to be one of the most underrated movies ever made and was left open for a sequel to happen, it still could but James is now tied up with DC.

The Cabin in the Woods

Either through a spin-off or continuation, seeing more of this world would be fun.

Fluppy Dogs

Childhood classic, if you ever wondered what Sliders and Stargate were inspired by than look no further than Fluppy Dogs, which was about a group of inter dimensional travelling dogs that found their way to Earth.

Young Guns

There were two movies made but I always wanted more.

That’ll do for now.
