The two sequels were far inferior, but still worth a watch.
Unfortunately, Eddie Murphy just isn't very funny anymore, and geriatric Axel Foley doesn't sound very good. The character is too iconic to be played by anyone else either. Chris Rock would probably be the only choice that might work, and I'm not overly interested in that idea either. And no reboots! Ghostbusters is going to be bad enough.....
So, I vote no. Let the franchise continue as a simple trilogy.

The Carry on Films were very much something of their time Late 50's to 80's. Virtually all the people that made those films Iconic are dead and have been for some time. They worked with those people in that time. Better left alone!
I can't even begin to imagine what a new BHC film would be like, even with Eddie Murphy. I'm sure I read somewhere they were going to do a Lethal Weapon 5 too!!
Perhaps they'd go the Ghostbusters way and have an all female lead reboot!?

hahaha the yut :lol: i love my cousin vinny top filmstormcab said:I don't see the point of reboots/making a sequel to something like this 30/40 years later. Who are they targeting? All the men, and it will be men, who watched it originally will be in their 40s/60s now. So how will that be a massive market to target? The yut (My Cousin Vinny ) will probably not have heard of it.
Much of the content/subject matter in the original would be seriously frowned upon nowadays, and Eddie Murphy could get away with stuff back then no actor/comedian could do today.
I personally believe the "fun" has been lost from films like the original because of our politically correct culture now. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing that society is becoming more racially/sexual-orientation aware, but, well, you know
