    Another fish-out-of-water comedy was 1983’s 'Doctor Detroit,' in which Dan Aykroyd plays a nerdy college professor who assumes the role of a freaky urban pimp with a metal hand.

    6. ‘History of the World: Part I’ (1981) — Sequels That Never Happened

    4. ‘Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins’ (1985) — Sequels That Never Happened
    When MGM adapted the 'Destroyer' book series, they must have been confident that the 140+ books would create the next James Bond.

    'Bubba Ho-Tep' is a horror-comedy that pits an elderly Elvis Presley against a soul-sucking Mummy in a West Texas nursing home.

    10 Movies That Promised Sequels That Never Happened
    The 1978 'Superman' film made a bold move. During the closing credits, four words appear on screen "NEXT YEAR: SUPERMAN II." Over the next three decades, this gimmick was used time and time again. More often than not, when a movie boasts a sequel, it never happens.
