3. Giving Us One Line of Exposition for the Plot Sequel
Perpetrators: Back to the Future, Super Mario Bros http://youtu.be/CUj8laqrsEo Quick, from that clip, what can you tell us about what we can expect from the sequel? How about "exactly the same thing as the first movie?" And while that may not be enough to wet your appetite, some movies take it a bit further and give you the most basic run-down of things to come, like that of the Back to the Future franchise. At the end of the first movie, Doc Brown makes haste to get into the future to save Marty's kids. That's all we know. Installment number two will make good use of the future and that's all we're left waiting for. And, no, we can't expect the first movie to end with a trailer for the second movie, but they did leave an awful lot of breathing room to do with a "save the kids" plot that somewhat mirrors that of the one we just saw.
