10 Insane Movie Sequels That We Really Wish Had Happened

10. Con Airport

It's A Sequel To: Con Air (1997)

Con Air isn't a particularly great movie, but it's trashy entertainment of the highest order; the sort of flick you can kick back and watch with a beer after a hard week. As such, there is no way in hell that a sequel to this flick could  ever be considered a bad idea, because this is a picture about Nicolas Cage fighting bad guys on a plane - the sort of insane film premise that only the '90s could spawn.

Once upon a time - some Hollywood genius had penned a 15-page treatment for a sequel to the 90s classic that would be titled Con Airport - the most natural progression for a tantalising unrealised franchise. 

The plot driving this absolute mania would have apparently seen John Cusack's US Marshal character from the first flick, Vince Larkin, now overseeing the daily proceedings at an airport designed specifically for the use of transporting criminals via planes. I know.

Picture the sort of mad sequences a movie like this might've contained: countless criminals hi-jacking planes and crashing them into one another; shots of John Cusack wondering why he took the job after the events of the first movie. Really could've been something.

Alas, the idea was scrapped (because it's crazy), but the '90s action movie aficionado in me is deeply sad that this was never a thing.
