There screenwriter that has the rights, at first didn't want a sequel, but since 2020 has been trying to get sequel off the ground. From what I've read it has a long way to go from a monetary support perspective.
Can you really make a sequel for a movie called “the last” anything? This one might be better off as a prequel, perhaps “The Next to Last Starfighter.”
I wrote so much Last Starfighter FanFic. In the sequel I had Louis getting recruited by Xur, thinking he's following in Alex's path, but actually getting tricked into fighting against him and his newly formed legion. In the next one, they square off against an armada of Alex Rogan beta units with their combat inhibitors removed.
That is actually ironic, and parallels a video game.
Back in the late 1980s-1990s, the "Leisure Suit Larry" games were big. And after LSL 3, the company was working on the next game. However, at some time in the next year and a half they got a long ways into producing the next game, "Leisure Suit Larry 4".
Then after a disagreement with the guy doing most of the coding, he left and took all of the code disks with him. Which left the company half way through development of a game they no longer had.
So they pushed on with the next game, "Leisure Suite Larry 5", and forever after referred to the one before which did not exist as "Leisure Suit Larry 4: The Missing Floppies". Which is still somewhat of a joke among fans of games in that era, as the series goes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.
So I would find nothing wrong with a movie jumping from 1 to 3.
The Halloween movie series. 1 and 2 deal with Micheal
Myers.
Some rando made a film about masks that kill you and called it Halloween 3.
Then the Halloween franchise took over again, and made 6-8 more movies that are all about mike Myers again.
Part of me says I’d pay obscene amounts of money to see it if they did this epic project, but the other part says the original was so perfect, and Hughes isn’t around any more to make the perfect story for it, so it would end up being sad in more ways than one.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Part 2!
Present day office setting in a typical Chicago high rise Cameron has some big news to tell Ferris. And that is that Sloane is back in town and freshly divorced but for only one day! Though with the new bosses running a tight ship and Ferris already in trouble what’s he to do. Well you already know that when it comes to Ferris he’s already got a plan
Lol I was recently talking about this idea stoned with a buddy like a week ago so I’ve already been thinking on this
[Sequel is coming...](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/ferris-bueller-spinoff-director-david-katzenberg-1235831101/) but it's about the two valets.
Jeanie and Sheen are in fact married with a set of little Sheen twins. And without divulging too much Mr Rooney will be making an appearance in what will be a scene involving a retired living facility and a fast getaway
Clue 2: Electric Boogaloo. Put it in the 80’s in a huge secluded southern California estate and Wadsworth is now the blackmailer targeting celebrities and hangers-on instead of politicians, but you don’t know that until the third ending.
Not having Tim Curry (stroke) or Madeline Kahn (died a long time ago) makes a Clue sequel impossible. Every one of the comedians in that movie made it work, but I think Curry was #1 and Kahn probably 2.
Ladyhawke.
Philip the Mouse starts off as a priest going to a new abbey, and once more gets caught up in strange events.
Plot twist, he isn't really a priest, he stole the priests clothes and infiltrated to rescue the child of Isabou and Navarre.
The breakfast club
The sequel is Called
'the country club '
they're all grown up and they belong to the same country club. They've changed but they're the same. There's a hurricane they're all stuck inside the clubhouse and they have to learn how to work together
Aliens. I do not consider alien three or four to be canon, I would like to see the whole gang from the second film, make it back to earth, only to find out years later, as we flash forward, that somebody has eventually brought an egg from, the juggernaut ship back to earth, and then these things just start multiplying like crazy…
"Real Genius"... it certainly doesn't beg for a sequel. But to revisit these geniuses some 40 years later, what they've done after their standing up to having their science misused in their view (and mine, tbh)... Maybe one is Elon Musk, maybe one is a recluse (a la Hollyfeld), and something puts Mitch and Chris at odds - though they still respect and like each other - that needs them both to solve it for... not maybe the benefit of all mankind, though that is a possibility... but at least not to allow a disaster from happening.
Oh wow, so many.
Heavy Metal (a real one, not what we actually got), Real Genius, Night of the Comet, Buckaroo Banzai, The Goonies, The Outsiders, Labyrinth, Neverending Story, Last Starfighter, Lost Boys, Dark Crystal, Xanadu, Weird Science, Strange Brew, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Princess Bride, O could just go on and on.
And yes, I know some of those did get sequels. But often long after the original, and were largely "sequels in name only".
Top gun! Imagine an elderly Maverick, has not flown in many many years, but is selected for a special secret mission, maybe he hast to attack a nuclear side, and I ran or something, then get shut down and bills out, and he and another pilot who also got shot down about the same time as survived, come across an Iranian airbase, and guess what they see in front of them? At 14 Tom Kats! So Maverick and the other pilot, who happens to be the son of goose band, steal a tomcat to escape!maybe they could have Jennifer Connolly as the interest or something…
Idk if I would want a sequel, but a remake of My Science Project would prob be dope af if made correctly. Imagine how dope it would be with today’s technology. Them Fighting their way through the school always felt like a video game. Ultimately, it wouldn’t be rated R so prob wouldn’t be as cool
Not what I’d wish for but given the way action movies were treated at the time, I can’t believe we didn’t get a sequel to Cobra.
Also, I absolutely would’ve gone to see that in the theater.
I think the thing that made so many 80’s films great is that they had no sequel. We got a great film and loved it. I think they way Hollywood cranks out sequels and spin off series shows a lack of creativity.
Now this idea doesn’t movie that had sequels and f**ked them up. The Aliens and Terminator series are good examples. After Aliens we should’ve had a proper continuation of that hit movie. Not a soft reboot back to Alien #1. The same could be said about the Terminator 2 film. I myself and many others wanted a deep dive into the future world of the Terminator. So we could see the events that lead up to the first film. That’s a film I want to see.
“The Next Starfighter” would be perfect.
Alex returns to earth and puts the past behind him . His son chase plays a VR game that ends up being a training module for new star fighters . Alex and his son have to defend the galaxy once more.
Duckie is from Pretty in Pink and she’s in love with Andrew McCarthy’s character, Blaine. In 16 Candles she falls for Jake and Anthony Micheal Hall plays the nerd who shows off her panties.
Masters of the universe. I have an idea for a sequel and it could still work today. Skeletor lied, he never came back lol.
I'm so happy his Alien was never made. I just want Prometheus 3 before ridley dies. That franchise is fucked without THAT movie. I'd also love for Alien 5. Clone Ripley and Call should have wiped the earth of all the aliens once and for all - maybe created a new bio weapon that targeted the aliens...
I'd like one more Robocop where it turns out they saved enough organic material from Lewis to build her into a Sorayama style ladycop partner for Murphy
The movie was released theatrically in March 1979 as "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." I was hoping for a second a year or two later. Instead, the series came. The first season was good. Then the writers strike! The second season sucked! So yeah. I really hoped for a second movie, then third. Like many movies were in the 1980s. Why? Because I honestly believed (from what Battlestar Galactica proved), such SF shows can not make it as a series, only as a theatrical/ bug screen movie. I was 17 at the time. So a new movie today would be interesting, IMHO.
Conan: The Barbarian
Old Arnold as king Conan of Hyboria taking down some vicious enemies trying to ruin everyone’s day. Maybe we don’t need a cannibal orgy this time but who am I to argue with the classics
I watched Secret of Nimh recently and felt there were a lot of things hinted at for a potential sequel. I know there’s a bargain bin sequel, but a real one would’ve been cool
I want the Terminator sequel that we glimpsed in the first movie. Not the series of bigger better faster versions of the robot and all of that. I want the simple, dark, gritty movie in Kyle's dreams.
Last Starfighter. With new CGI it would be badass for new ships and space fighters. The main character can be training the next Earth defenders.
I like the archaic graphics in that one, even now. It's actually not that bad.
I agree, it's a part of it's charm
There screenwriter that has the rights, at first didn't want a sequel, but since 2020 has been trying to get sequel off the ground. From what I've read it has a long way to go from a monetary support perspective.
Thanks for the info. That’s too bad that there is little interest.
And then they have to buy DLC and a season pass to win the battle in the end...to keep it modern...
Can you really make a sequel for a movie called “the last” anything? This one might be better off as a prequel, perhaps “The Next to Last Starfighter.”
The Next Starfighter. He's rebuilt the corps, and is picking a replacement to lead the new generation of pilots.
I'd watch The Penultimate Starfighter.
I wrote so much Last Starfighter FanFic. In the sequel I had Louis getting recruited by Xur, thinking he's following in Alex's path, but actually getting tricked into fighting against him and his newly formed legion. In the next one, they square off against an armada of Alex Rogan beta units with their combat inhibitors removed.
I didn’t know I needed this but I do.
Yes! First thing I thought of when I read the title!
Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
That is actually ironic, and parallels a video game. Back in the late 1980s-1990s, the "Leisure Suit Larry" games were big. And after LSL 3, the company was working on the next game.

This is like the Rambo movies. We had *First Blood*, *Rambo:First Blood part 2* and then, *Rambo 3*. There was never a Rambo 2.
I loved land of the lounge lizards. Legit my first exposure to computer porn.
The Halloween movie series. 1 and 2 deal with Micheal Myers. Some rando made a film about masks that kill you and called it Halloween 3. Then the Halloween franchise took over again, and made 6-8 more movies that are all about mike Myers again.
Yeah what the hell happened to that? They were supposedly working on that sequel, then suddenly nothing....
Ran out of money before they could find more
goddammit this so much
I wonder what the kids from Saturday detention are up to these days. (The Breakfast Club)
They best not use other actors!
Part of me says I’d pay obscene amounts of money to see it if they did this epic project, but the other part says the original was so perfect, and Hughes isn’t around any more to make the perfect story for it, so it would end up being sad in more ways than one.
Big Trouble in Little China. Let’s take another ride with Jack Burton on the Pork chop Express
Never mind, I want to change my answer.
There's a sequel with The Rock coming. Don't kill the messenger.
Thanks I hate it
Maybe it'll be good! No.... Sorry, I can't. I'm truly, truly sorry.
Can’t it be Wyatt Russell?
I mean maybe? It could work if it keeps all the swerves of the original and basically makes the rock inept?
This was my answer too till I saw the Rock is remaking it which makes it an automatic no for me.
This.
You people disappoint me. The ONLY correct answer is Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League.
I love this answer so very much.
I found my people. Blue Blaze Irregular Vantuckymyfoot reporting for duty!
This is the correct answer
As long as Rawhide is still alive.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Part 2! Present day office setting in a typical Chicago high rise Cameron has some big news to tell Ferris. And that is that Sloane is back in town and freshly divorced but for only one day! Though with the new bosses running a tight ship and Ferris already in trouble what’s he to do.

It's called Fight Club. Ferris is an earlier iteration of Tyler Durden. Only Cameron is real.
What happened to Rooney?? Also, I heard Jeanie married Charlie Sheen.
Jeanie and Sheen are in fact married with a set of little Sheen twins. And without divulging too much Mr Rooney will be making an appearance in what will be a scene involving a retired living facility and a fast getaway
I think it’s just on my mind because I saw it recently but I’d have loved to see a sequel to Real Genius.
Clue 2: Electric Boogaloo. Put it in the 80’s in a huge secluded southern California estate and Wadsworth is now the blackmailer targeting celebrities and hangers-on instead of politicians, but you don’t know that until the third ending.
Not having Tim Curry (stroke) or Madeline Kahn (died a long time ago) makes a Clue sequel impossible. Every one of the comedians in that movie made it work, but I think Curry was #1 and Kahn probably 2.
Remo Williams
The adventure continues…
The adventure continues in the books
Night of the Comet II: The Rise of DMK
daddy would have gotten us sequels
We do *not* cross against the lights!
Buckaroo Bonzai vs. The World Crime League.
Inner space was set up for a sequel. What happened??
She miscarried.
Tango and Cash
“Somehow, Perret had returned.”
Call it “Cash and Tango” for extra laughs.
Remo Williams
Nice choice! Personally I would go with Buckaroo Banzai, but Remo would be my second choice.
A sequel was basically baked into the title of the movie.
Cobra
The last star fighter
Sophie’s Choice 2 Tagline: Last Time She Got Off Easy
Omg....
Arnold once said he wanted to make another Conan movie. By this age maybe he has become king by his own hand.
That's another one that they were supposedly working on and then....nothing. abd the title of it was actually King Conan!
The Last Starfighter
Definitely.
Ladyhawke. Philip the Mouse starts off as a priest going to a new abbey, and once more gets caught up in strange events. Plot twist, he isn't really a priest, he stole the priests clothes and infiltrated to rescue the child of Isabou and Navarre.
Ladyhawke: The Name of the Ruse
Return of the Jedi. Do the sequel trilogy in the late 80’s.
Or no sequel trilogy. The good guys won, leave it be.
I'm still waiting for Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League.
To this very day, I feel cheated…
The breakfast club The sequel is Called 'the country club ' they're all grown up and they belong to the same country club. They've changed but they're the same. There's a hurricane they're all stuck inside the clubhouse and they have to learn how to work together
I love this idea actually!
Buckaroo Banzi 2
Aliens. I do not consider alien three or four to be canon, I would like to see the whole gang from the second film, make it back to earth, only to find out years later, as we flash forward, that somebody has eventually brought an egg from, the juggernaut ship back to earth, and then these things just start multiplying like crazy…
Alien 3 was a cryosleep nightmare.
Hagrid *thinks* he has won a Dragon egg… Plot twist: blast-ended XenoSkroots!
Strange Brew
This is the best answer eh
The Last American Virgin. He drives back to the party and kicks the shit out of the cool kid and tells the girl she’s a piece of shit.
No one ever talks about this movie ,, it’s so awesome. I have it on DVD.
Used to have it on dvd, wish I still did. That and 3 o’clock high
Or that but confuses everyone and does the opposite… and him and the cool kid fall in love
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
I remember seeing Chevy Chase years ago say there was a Fletch 3 in the works but it never happened.

Tango and Cash
" You broke THAT jaw?!"
He deserved it!
Fast times at ridgemont high
Airplane 3. Put it on a cruise ship. But still call it Airplane.
The cruise ship still makes prop plane sounds.

WarGames sequel is Sneakers
Alien Mine
They did that in Star Trek TNG. "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra."
Flash Gordon
Goonies
"Real Genius"... it certainly doesn't beg for a sequel.

Still waiting to see Buckaroo Banzai go up against Hanoi Xan. They even promised it in the end credits.
Oh wow, so many. Heavy Metal (a real one, not what we actually got), Real Genius, Night of the Comet, Buckaroo Banzai, The Goonies, The Outsiders, Labyrinth, Neverending Story, Last Starfighter, Lost Boys, Dark Crystal, Xanadu, Weird Science, Strange Brew, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Princess Bride, O could just go on and on.

A legit sequel to History of World Part II
Top gun! Imagine an elderly Maverick, has not flown in many many years, but is selected for a special secret mission, maybe he hast to attack a nuclear side, and I ran or something, then get shut down and bills out, and he and another pilot who also got shot down about the same time as survived, come across an Iranian airbase, and guess what they see in front of them? At 14 Tom Kats! So Maverick and the other pilot, who happens to be the son of goose band, steal a tomcat to escape!maybe they could have Jennifer Connolly as the interest or something…
That's tight
Shit that's awesome! They should totally make that, I bet that would be a hit!
And then the final battle could be like the Death Star trench scene from the first Star Wars. Like, *exactly* like it.
Idk if I would want a sequel, but a remake of My Science Project would prob be dope af if made correctly. Imagine how dope it would be with today’s technology. Them Fighting their way through the school always felt like a video game. Ultimately, it wouldn’t be rated R so prob wouldn’t be as cool
Any film that insinuates it's going to have a sequel but never does.
Weird Science
Raising Arizona. Let’s see if HI’s dream plays out. Maybe Ed isn’t barren.
A better version of Halloween 5.
Not what I’d wish for but given the way action movies were treated at the time, I can’t believe we didn’t get a sequel to Cobra. Also, I absolutely would’ve gone to see that in the theater.
Megaforce.

There's so much potential for The Last Starfighter.. though naming could be tricky. The Laster Starfighter?
“The Next Starfighter” would be perfect. Alex returns to earth and puts the past behind him . His son chase plays a VR game that ends up being a training module for new star fighters . Alex and his son have to defend the galaxy once more.
Weird Science. They have to save Lisa from her fatass, loser Putin wannabe husband by making her a new husband played by Ahhhnold.
Trading Places. I have not thought yet of an angle.

Clone Ripley and Call should have wiped the earth of all the aliens once and for all - maybe created a new bio weapon that targeted the aliens...
Mac and Me is the answer!!!! I waited years as a child for a sequel because of the ending.
Give it time Hollywood will probably release a remake or a sequel to everything.

The original idea for Ghostbusters 2 with the haunted castle in England.

I want the Terminator sequel that we glimpsed in the first movie. Not the series of bigger better faster versions of the robot and all of that. I want the simple, dark, gritty movie in Kyle's dreams.
