10 Incredible Follow-Ups To Iconic Movies (That Nobody Saw)

10. Blow Out

Brian De-Palma stormed into the eighties with the erotic, slice-and-dice thriller Dressed to Kill, a highly controversial but successful ode to Hitchcock. In spite of its overly explicit content, the film was well received by critics and made a handsome sum at the box-office.

De-Palma quickly followed it up with Blow Out, a high stakes, neo-noir, political thriller that sadly failed to find an audience upon release. Telling the story of sound-effects artist Jack Terry (Played by a top of his game John Travolta) who inadvertently captures the audio of a tire blow out that is part of an assassination attempt upon a presidential candidate.

Jack then rescues a high-class call girl from the man's car and is immediately accosted by secret service who tell him to forget what he saw. Not being the quitting type, Jack digs deeper into what transpired, only to find himself and anyone around him in the firing line.

Blow Out is undoubtedly one of De Palma's best works, standing tall alongside the likes of Sisters, Carrie and Phantom of the Paradise. The tension is slowly built-up over time, leading to a shocking climax that will make your blood run cold.
