What one-off Comic Book film do you think deserved (or still deserves) a sequel?
For me, it's definitely The Rocketeer. That movie was so kick-ass. Unfortunately, Disney got the film rights and thought the film could stand up to Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and it got flattened in the summer 1991. Another company would have read the glowing reviews and made a sequel anyway.... except Disney. Disney was already anti-sequel, but when the film didn't make blockbuster-numbers.... they gave up on it.
But I still hold out hope that that new CEO for Disney will come to his senses and look into letting Cliff Secord soar again...
