Jessica Rabbit kidnapped by Nazis.

Costner rescuing Princess Diana.

We look back at a few strange movie sequels that were never made…

The multi-million dollar success of any movie will inevitably leave Hollywood executives clamoring for a sequel.

AnE.T.sequel in which little Elliott gets tortured by aliens?

Forrest Gump dancing with Princess Diana?

Trained dinosaurs rescuing kidnapped children?

The ideas he came up with would later be reused inE.T.

The Extra-Terrestrial,Poltergeist,andGremlins.

II: Nocturnal Fears.

Yes, Elliott and his brother and sister would have been experimented on and tortured before E.T.

finally swooped in to rescue them.

Its a little moment and its a lightning flash in your life.
