The SEQUELS That Time Forgot

[Raikus]

Is 'Return To Oz' as freaky as I remember it being?

Yes. Two words: Fairuza Balk.

Actually that whole movie was pretty messed up for being marketed to "kids." The whole shock treatment, the lady that switches heads, and the moose head--all a bit out of league for the kiddies.

Okay, so these sequels aren't separated by much time, but I think it's safe to say that everyone stopped caring after Part2

Thirteen years between Exorcist II and III. And another thirteen years between Exorcist III and:

Hate to be a fanboy, but this trailer sounds badass:

Starts with the voice over of Father Damien asking Regan all the questions he asked from the first film, "who am I talking to, how old are you," in which Regan replies "12" and then all of a sudden you see Regan's ugly possessed face on the screen, and it then turns black and you see images of the first film going backwards, you see Father Damien who jumped out the window and fell on the stairs fly backwards up to the window and into Regan's room, and you see Father Merrin go backwards into the taxi in front of Regan's house and [which is shown on the Exorcist poster] quickly the screen turns black. Then the words "GO BACK, GO BACK, GO BACK, GO BACK .....TO THE BEGINNING" appear on the screen. You then see the young boy who is now possessed by the devil, and all sorts of action starts popping up, like the young priest played by Gabriel Mann in a tomb flying in the air dropping his rosary, and it ends with the theme song from the first Exorcist. The trailer is pretty cool and scary especially when the boy rises from his bed with the white pale face.

This is Paul Schrader directed, right (but not written...?). Should be worth checking out.

Pauline Kael loved Boorman's sequel, but I'm trepidatious. And what about Blatty's sequel...?

Yep.  I think Caleb Carr had some hand in the screenplay, too.  From what I've heard, he's a fairly literate thriller novelist.  Anyone read his books?

I never made it through The Exorcist II: The Heretic.  It seemed really dated and psychobabbly, what I saw of it; the best scenes were bits of footage from the original.

Now, was Blatty's book sequel called "Legion"?  I think so.

The third film I recall being somewhat creeped out by.....Did it not have its moments?

'Doubtfire' Sequel Coming Out of Closet

Mrs. Doubtfire isn't finished yet. Eleven years after the Robin Williams drag comedy appeared on the big screen, a sequel to the hit film is in the works at Fox.

Williams is in early talks to reprise his role as Mrs. Doubtfire, and to resume producing duties with his wife, Marsha Williams. Bonnie Hunt also is in talks to pen the project.

In the original, directed by Chris Columbus, Williams played an estranged father who poses as a Scottish nanny, Euphegenia Doubtfire, in order to get access to his children and successfully bypass his ex-wife ). The film grossed $219 million domestically.

The film garnered two Golden Globes in 1994, one for best picture (comedy/musical) and one for Williams as best actor in a comedy/musical. The film also won an Oscar for best makeup for Williams' elaborate transformation into a frumpy, bespectacled older woman.

I laughed so hard when I heard about this. I can't wait to watch this over and over again on cable in ten years (if it actually gets made).

94 Must have been a slow year for comedies.

how dare you say that to the year of Jingle All the Way and Three Ninjas: Kick Back?

Apparently there was a sequel to Christmas vacation starring the uncle who goes on some cruise to an island.
