What old '80s/'90s films deserve prequels, sequels, and/or reboots?

Question

Hi. I am bored and curious. I can think of a few.

I would like to see:

A Braveheart sequel. This film continues from where the first left off and it would be about William Wallace's son.
A new Short Circuit film, sequel or reboot. Why? A film about a sentient robot would be relevant now in today's culture.
A new Batteries Not Included film would be fun.
People have been talking about a Roger Rabbit 2 or a Space Jam- I don't know if Disney or WB will make either, respectively,
I would have liked a Sister Act 3, but the first two films came out about 2 decades ago.
There's talk about a Wayne's World 3 and a Bill and Ted 3, but the last films in both series came out over decades ago, and the actors who portrayed the main characters are old now.
Maybe a new Days of Thunder film.

I was never really a big film person. I know my list of '80s/'90s films I referenced is short.

Can you think of other suggestions for '80s/'90s film reboots or prequels or sequels? What would you like to see? Please help- thank you.

Answer 1

Spaceballs = sequel

WarGames = reboot (yes someone pointed out a direct to video sequel exists but that's no fun)

Weird Science = reboot

Armed & Dangerous = reboot

Breakfast Club = reboot

Philadelphia Experiment = reboot

Colors = reboot

Demolition Man = sequel

Hook = reboot (though I doubt anyone could fill Robin Williams shoes)

Twister = reboot (the original is good but a reboot with actual facts would kick ***)

Groundhog Day = reboot

Super Mario Bros = reboot (though the original is so bad its good)

Not really relevant to the question but a live action Digimon Adventure Movie would be epic (lol think Honey I Shrunk The Kids meets Jurassic Park)

Rat Race (I know its a 00s film but its pre-9/11 style makes it a 90s movie at heart IMHO) = sequel

Starship Troopers = sequel (a good one)



Movies that I feel shouldn't be touched for 25 more years:

Police Academy

Honey I Shrunk The Kids

First Blood

Spies Like Us

Grosse Point Blank

Back To The Future

Answer 3

No offence, but I find all of those to be terrible ideas. A Hollywood studio should hire you immediately!



...and leave my sweet Winona alone!

Answer 4

Did you see Creed? (2015) I meant to but missed it when it was in the theaters.



To your question:

How about The Breakfast Club (Where are they now?)
