Films you're glad haven't had a sequel.

[Vision of Division]

Donnie Darko

...fuck

 

[lurchpanda]

Tron.
It would probably be terrabad if hollywood made another tron so don't even try.

 

[ConnorCool]

300. God knows I don't want to see 301 as awesome as 300 was

V for Vendetta (I hoped I spelled it right)
It left the ending right were it needed to be. In complete awesomeness.

lucky these are taken from comics that arent Marvel, they wont get a sequel unless the original writer wants it to happen, thank god

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

The Great Escape.

Tron 2 is on the way.It's call TR2N.
I love TRON so I'm curious to see how it'll work given the differences in tech.

There have been plenty of sequels, prequels and oldschool resurections of films recently, some good, others bad. Whereas I often look forward to a sequel I can find them not up to the standard of the previous film, much to my dissapointment.

Back on topic, I was wondering if you had any films you are glad they haven't made a sequel/prequel for (yet).

2 of mine would be:

(The original) The italian Job
this is a briliant film, and a classic cliff hanger (badum-tish) ending. There could have been a sequel, but there wasn't, which I think would have ruined it.

Monsters, Inc.
I know this is a childs film but watching it back recently was a delight. I'm glad that they havent made a sequel, but I'm half expecting them to do it at some point.


EDIT: I hadnt seen LordCraigus' topic started earlier, so sorry for a little overlap


so feel free to add your own, or even films you did want sequels for (sorry for masses of writing )

The Italian job has had a sequel, well a remake sort of thing. It was crap.

One of mine is Once upon a time in the West.
Although it would have been quite hard to carry on the story anyway.

 

[Uncompetative]

BladeRunner.

If you don't count all the abortive Director's Cuts, Final Cuts, Special Editions, Extended Editions, with Voice over narration, without, with Directorial Commentary, etc, etc.

Good film though.

 

[messy]

V for Vendetta (I hoped I spelled it right)
It left the ending right were it needed to be. In complete awesomeness.

You couldn't make a sequel. Alan Moore wouldn't allow it. He thought the film was a shitpile and oversimplified the source material.

Yeah he refuses to even see the watchmen film, although I think that's a lot more faithful to the original comic and keeps some of the general themes alive, although the removal of the black freighter was a bit annoying.

OT;

Donnie Darko

...fuck

I was just about to say these exact words, S.Darko is just so wrong and just so bad.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Rocky and First Blood, I tell ya, if they had ever made sequels to those great films, why I would have... Oh wait... FUCK!

 

[NeedAUserName]

Fight Club
The Warriors
V for Vendetta

 

[Lyri]

The Warriors

Someone is going to fuck this up, one day. It's not going to be pretty either.

When they do, they will need 24 hour security, thats all I'm saying...

You can use a sound clip to spook the crap out of them.

"Waaaaarriors, come out to plaaaaaay"

 

[AvsJoe]

Pulp Fiction,
The Usual Suspects,
Reservoir Dogs...

Pretty much any film where most (or every) character dies. That's why Open Water 2 and Hollow Man 2 sucked.

 

[blipblop]

V for Vendetta (I hoped I spelled it right)
It left the ending right were it needed to be. In complete awesomeness.

there is actually a sequel "W for wathever"
and a prequel "U for U know that guy whit that mask running around kicking ass and talking realy fast nonsens that only sounds somewat sensible beucause every sentence starts whit the letter V"

 

[herr.Didi]

Fight Club
V for Vendetta
American History X
A clockwork orange(sometimes I think a sequel would be great)
Scarface...i could go on for hours...

The Black Freighter got it's own cartoon DVD release with a fictionally televised Under the Hood. They're not very good to be honest. Alan Moore should watch Watchmen Im think.

Also, since when did Donnie Darko have a sequel? How is it possible?
