Raging Bull II. Really?

What's up with that anyway? Is there some market out there for knockoff movies? I always see what you're talking about at RedBox. Right now, there's some cartoon with the word "Brave" in it and a red-headed girl. Did someone actually go into lightning production to crank out a knockoff of Pixar's "Brave" in lightning speed? Does anyone actually fall for them? Wonder if someone's written a story about the phenomenon out there, because I always wonder about it.

 

Thought my co-workers were going to kill me one day when I admitted I've never seen Grease, but have seen -- and enjoyed -- Grease 2. Saw it in theater when I was 7 or whatever. And watch it whenever it pops up. The jump on the cycle over the pool? God how I dreamed about our school having an outdoor prom, which would be overtaken by thugs, who I'd then defeat with my riding skills.

 

It's funny, I've seen some Samuel L. Jackson movies that I thought were "big" movies that end up looking like they were shot over a weekend in an industrial park. And I still dig Paul Sorvino, but the guy is coming off a turn in "Jersey Shore Shark Attack."

 

Is that an MST3K reference?

 

It's a reference to 'Bearking 2: Electric Boogaloo,' the greatest sequel ever made, the second sequel to be better than it's precursor, and the greatest movie of the 1980s.

 

Watch out for snakes!

 

I'm kind of partial to Raging Bullwinkle myself.

 

Why stop there? How 'bout some more Scorsese sequels?

Taxi Driver II?
The Second-To-Last Temptation Of Christ?
