1. Gladiator II: Christ Killer
It's A Sequel To... Gladiator (2000)
Gladiator isn't the first movie that people probably think of when somebody shouts the word "sequel!", but there was genuinely a time when the Hollywood moguls thought about getting Russell Crowe back for another flick, even though his character was - you know -
dead (a running them with this article, I'll admit). It wasn't just the fact that he was dead that made this idea so crazy, though, it was the direction that the filmmakers thought about tackling the sequel. I think it might be best to let the man who wrote the script do the talking on this one. Ladies and gentlemen, singer-songwriter Nick Cave, and his explanation of the plot: "So he goes down to purgatory and is sent down by the Gods, who are dying in heaven because there's this one god, there's this Christ character, down on Earth who is gaining popularity and so the many gods are dying so they send Gladiator back to kill Christ." Right. Thanks, Nick Cave. Have a good day.
Nutty Movie Sequel Rating: 10/10
