The sequel that will never happen
It's been, what, 25 years? At the end of the cult classic "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" we were promised a sequel pitting the amazing doctor/rock star and his crew against the World Crime League. I guess the phrase "cult classic" can be considered enough of an explanation of why the sequel was never made. And in Hollywood, after all, the number of possible reasons to not make a particular film must certainly outweigh the number reasons to make that film.
Still, count me as a fan of this film-that-was-not-made.
Why does a film not get produced? Because there wasn't anybody who wanted it enough in the right place at the right time with the right contacts and the right funding. And that's only a partial list. When looked at from that perspective, it's impressive when any film (even a bad one) gets made at all. Then again, there's no arguing with the power of one individual's delusions.
