Then: Amber Scott played little Maggie Banning -– the only lost girl among the Lost Boys -– in ‘Hook.’ It remains her only movie credit. She also sang (or more likely lip-synced) 'Hook's' Oscar-nominated song 'When You're Alone' live at the 64th Academy Awards.
Now: In 2006, Scott graduated from Trinity College, where she was a member of the Delta P
Then: Korsmo was kind of a big deal in the early '90s. The wide-eyed child actor played prominent roles in ‘Dick Tracy’ and ‘What About Bob?,’ in addition to his turn as Jack Banning in ‘Hook.’ After a seve

Then: For his first film role James Madio played the curiously named Lost Boy "Don’t Ask" in 'Hook.'
Now: ‘Hook’ was the first step in a successful acting career for Madio, who you may recognize from ‘The Basketball Diaries’ or ‘Band of Brothers’ (where he reunited with Spielberg), among other high-profile projects. The Bronx-born 36-year-old most

This Prince-and-the-Pauper movie follows a prep school snob (Palmer Woodrow the III) trading places with a street kid (Eddie, played by Judd Nelson). Hilarity ensues with plenty of belching, breakdancing and a standout performance by then-unknown Andrew “Dice” Clay. During the closing credits, viewers are informed that Palmer and Eddie will be back in 'Tourista.' But the poor box office killed the sequel and the closest we’ve come to 'Tourista' is the 2008 backpacker horror film 'Turistas.'
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. At the film’s end, after Dr. Detroit defeats his rival pimp (an older woman named “Mom”) the closing credits warn us that there’s to be a sequel titled 'Doctor Detroit II: The Wrath of Mom.' (A play upon the Star Trek sequel 'The Wrath of Khan.') While this was probably a gag, we're still waiting for the return of Howard Hesseman's "Smooth Walker."
After the credits roll, an advertisement appears for 'Airplane III' and William Shatner (who had a cameo in 'Airplane II: The Sequel') says, “that’s exactly what they’ll be expecting us to do.” For all the gags in 'Airplane II: The Sequel,' one thing was serious-- Paramount wanted to make a third film, to be directed by David Zucker, who co-wrote and co-directed the first movie. But lead actor Robert Hays turned down the project, because he didn’t want to be typecast. Instead, Hays went on to play the title character in ABC’s sci-fi drama 'Starman' (based on the Jeff Bridges movie of the same name).
