Vacation: 10 Ill-Advised Comedy Movie Comebacks

10. Kindergarten Cop 2

Nowadays the word "belated" means very little in the entertainment industry. Movies and shows are brought back with mind-boggling regularity. Every so often however a project is announced and the world sits up and goes "Whaaa?" We all knew Arnold Schwarzenegger was excavating his old characters, via Terminator: Genisys and the upcoming Conan The Barbarian: The Hip Replacement Years. But a Kindergarten Cop sequel? And without the Austrian Oak? That was a surprise.

Scary-looking Dolph Lundgren steps into the big fella's shoes. Strangely Lundgren is the actor who probably would have gotten the part in 1991, had Schwarzenegger and a couple of other people turned the movie down. This is certainly a rare foray into comedy to say the least.

A quarter of a century will have elapsed by the time the film is released, so producing this second chapter with a new lead character is a proper puzzle. I guess putting a number two in there (no sniggering please) may trick more people into renting the title.  Judgment Day can be reserved for when KC2 is finished, though talk of an Indian sidekick suggests it could be a throwback in more ways than one.
