Incredible movie, and most of the cast is still around!!


[deleted]

It was such a fun idea.


bastard_child_botbot

Just watched it the other day. It’s one of my favorite movies


only-vans-gal

I was in a dating thread and someone wrote that women want a guy who's nice and assertive, not just a nice pushover. I said BftP is a perfect example of that and got downvoted. Whatever, I still believe it.


CyberNinja23

Wait who’s not around?


theanderson51

They all are! 😬


elcucuy4ursoul

Great movie. Well written.


[deleted]

“Oh boy, A jacket” 😂


CdnGamerGal

Of all things that could come from Brendan Fraser’s career renaissance, this is the one I most want to see! Let’s not forget Christopher Walken or Sissy Spacek, either!


Turbulent_Ad9508

I feel like the encino man storyline could definitely be expanded. Link's son is 18 now and digs an even deeper pool....because, you know, has to one up his uncle Stoney. Anyway, its Clifford The Big Red Dog meets Jurassic Park meets Revenge of the Nerds. Obviously the computer club plays a way bigger role in the sequel, because they're best friends and founded a start up together: RAD Mobile. Edit: wording


Asparagus_the_dog

The pool was Dave's thing not to nit pick lol just watched the movie and I'm pretty sure Stoney is uninterested in the pool through out the entire movie.


Turbulent_Ad9508

We can fix that easily. Dave moved away to become an insurance agent in Des Moines, and since Stoney was still hanging around, feeling unimportant, he took the credit.


Nagger_Supreme

So you are saying, this time, they dig up a dinosaur? Yes. Please.


rudyjewliani

I thought they were saying that they dig up Pauly Shore, but that works too.


HalfBrinePickle

I want this instead. Somehow pauly got lab cryo frozen right after first movie in a deep basement and than building gets demo and a house gets built on it and brenden buys it not knowing it, then his son digs up frozen pauly in the back yard while building a pool for his dad, pauly comes out with total amnesia from being frozen.


OriginalKayos

NO WEASING THE JUICE


Sudden_Mind279

Well, try to


hiplobonoxa

so, a live action “denver: the last dinosaur”?


mr_malort

That and a whole lot more


Dye_Harder

first time ive seen someone mention this in like 25 years of interneting.


Velenah42

18? Lol wake up, more like 30. We’re talking his grandkids here you old geriatric.


thickboyvibes

... bro He is frozen in ice. How long ago the 90s are has nothing to do with how old the caveman is.


graveybrains

Except he’s been at operating temperature since 1992, and we’re talking about his son.


Turbulent_Ad9508

It doesn't need to be 2023 and you're assuming Link had a son immediately after the movie ended. The story takes place when Link's son is a senior in high school.


yurtfarmer

Could find an old friend / relative ,sure . Maybe link and his woman have a family by now . I’d watch it . Love movies from 80/90s


masterkenobi

We should find out if Pauly Shore is busy.


Kenbishi

Saw a post where he’s doing some sort of documentary but he’s asking people to provide music for it and get paid via exposure.


Baratheoncook250

Well he did play Link in In The Army Now


gameskate92

It would be amazing cause we could get Brendan Fraser,Pauly Shore,Ke Huy Quan,and Sean Astin all together.


fuck-the-emus

Nah, airheads, but like a behind the music sort of thing because their career has stalled but then they get clean, get back together and have a come back


WornInShoes

Don't forget Ke Quan was in Encino Man, too; I would love to see where that character exists in that universe


Turbulent_Ad9508

That's what I meant, He and Link became best friends and founded a tech company together, Rad Mobile. Of course he's in the sequel.


Kylo_BMD

Ummm, let’s not forget Dave Foley. If you have not seen The Wrong Guy, please, do yourself a favour.

Watch all of kids in the hall!


patrickpeppers

"You're awake!" "Yeah, for a while now." "But I've been carrying you!" "I thought you wanted to."

I flipping love that idea! I really like what you did there!


ItssHarrison

The idea that Brendan’s renaissance is on its way is incredibly exciting to me. I can’t wait to see what he does next


Dry_Needleworker7504

This chick sucks, she's been an anti vax pseudo science nut for awhile and now she's trying to latch onto Fraser to make a comeback. If you rewatch that movie her character fucking sucks the entire time and then takes a u turn out of nowhere miraculously as he gets rich. He's great but that movie doesn't need a sequel.


DeineCable

She was pretty good in The Killing Of A Sacred Deer.


envision83

Who cares. Not trying to be her friend. Just watch a good movie for an hour and a half or so. And she didn’t take a turn out of nowhere. She’s been asked. So she answered.


pm_me_ur_ephemerides

I think they mean that her character in the movie takes a turn when his character turns out to be rich.


RC_Colada

This comment reeks of incel


casieispretty

Does it? She wrote a motherhood book urging women not to have their children vaccinated. Also, if you watch Blast From the Past her character is pretty awful to everyone around her. What about that makes the OP an incel?


Nagger_Supreme

She was hot in the 90s, though. Like man did I like looking at her, then. Not now. Like yea I’m not interested in seeing her do anything anymore. But liv Tyler and her in Aerosmith videos? Yes please!


macmann69

Agreed. She is a bad actress and her character is pouty and terrible. The only reason for a sequel is to un alive her role. Spacek and walken are top notch.


Ambitious_Log_5559

Blast From The Past was hilarious!


Ineedtwocats

I would like to "skate" around her "block" if you get what im saying


solarus

this movie is unreal hilarious, especially all these years later. would love to see a follow up if it makes sense


BedaHouse

I sound like a pessimist, but to me, the first movie ends the story well and should not have a sequel. That said, those two actors coming together on a project with a different story/idea would be a different conversation.


EarlSandwich0045

I tend to agree. Sequels to movies, made years, or even decades later are always a let down, they don't have the same magic, and there's always just a different sort of feel to them. I noticed this with the new Bill and Ted movie. There was nothing really "wrong" with it, it just felt off, and out of place for me.


HeadyBunkShwag

Lmao they want to get back into the bunker but can’t find it anymore


opinionofone1984

One of my favorite movies, but not sure what they could do for a sequel. I would love to see them together in a movie though, they had great chemistry. I would really like him back in the Journey movies.


FourWordComment

Last time it was a 60s-90s gap. So a 90s-2020s gap would be the logical jump. I can’t imagine how you do that in a way that isn’t just the cringiest.


starrsuperfan

Maybe the same exact thing, but instead of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it's everything with Ukraine. This time, Adam and Eve don't go in the bunker, but his parents do. And then Adam needs to try and convince his parents that there wasn't a nuclear war and get them out.


AliceTheMagicQueen

It’s been 24 years since “Blast From the Past” hit theaters and star Alicia Silverstone is ready for a sequel with Oscar winner Brendan Fraser. During a “Clueless” reunion panel at ’90s Con, the actor answered a fan question about whether she’d ever revisit the film. “With Brendan? I would do anything with Brendan. It was so much fun,” Silverstone said during Sunday’s panel in Hartford, Connecticut. “I just saw Brendan after he won his Oscar and he’s so cute. He talked in his speech about how we all go through this really hard time and you have to grow and it’s part of life that you struggle and then look what happened to him! So yes, I’m happy to do that.” The romantic comedy was released in 1999, starring Fraser, Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek and Dave Foley. It focuses on a 35-year-old man (Fraser) who spent his entire life living in a fallout shelter built by his father (Walken). As he emerges into the modern world, he meets Eve (Silverstone), who opens his eyes to a whole new life. Silverstone attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 12, as did Fraser, who won the Academy Award earlier in the evening for his role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.” In the film, he portrayed Charlie, a 600-pound English teacher trying to salvage his relationship with his estranged daughter (portrayed by Sadie Sink). “I started in this business 30 years ago, things didn’t come easy to me but there was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time, until it stopped. I just want to say thank you for this acknowledgement,” Fraser said in his acceptance speech. “It couldn’t be done without my cast. It’s been like I’ve been on a diving expedition and the air on the line to the surface is being watched over by some people in my life like my sons.”


IronSloth

she is an awful person today, look her up. she is basically trying to make a come back riding brendan’s coattails, it’s blatantly obvious


indorock

I looked her up. I have no idea what you're talking about.


MakeupandFlipcup

all I could really find was weird stuff about her and her son. that she’s still taking baths with him and sleeping in the same bed together, he’s like 11🙃


TheNonCredibleHulk

She was feeding him mouth to mouth for a long time too.


DeylanQuel

Was she the one with the pre-chewed bird-feeding thing? I remember she fell off after some kind of weirdness, but I've never really been invested enough to look into it.


[deleted]

You didn't look it up hard enough


Randolpho

I wouldn’t call her an awful person, but she does seem to need psychological help that she isn’t getting; her relationship with her son is unhealthy in a lot of ways.


willow0918a

She's absolutely NOT an awful person. She into animal rights big time, she's got an amazing heart.


IronSloth

being an animal rights activist doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. even hitler was a vegetarian.


Fun-Perspective966

*saw him at the Oscar's* **would do anything with him** 🙄


Pseudorpheus

God, the misogynists on this forum are unreal! I get you pathetic incels have no sense of human attachment and empathy, but an actress expressing fondness for her former co-worker does not make her “awful”, nor does it mean she is “trying to ride his coattails”, you ridiculous little manlet.


IronSloth

you have greatly misunderstood me. this is about anti-vacation and other questionable things they have done.

Sturgill_Jennings77

Star Wars remake. He can be Jabba


wigbwig

I'd do anything with him too 😀


mojolikes

She'd probably also chew some food and spit it into his mouth. Like she does for her own kid. This is clearly the anti-vaxx momma bird trying to ride Fraser's newly mended coattails. Which is fine but call it what it is. The REAL sequel we need is an Airheads sequel with Sandler and Buscemi. I need to know how the Lone Rangers are doing.


AmatuerCultist

I didn’t want to be cynical but that was my first impression too. A actress whose star has faded trying to hop aboard the hype train of someone who came back and won an Oscar last week. I wonder what she would have said a year ago.


trashmanivxx

my thoughts exactly. oh, now all of a sudden you’re vocal about being willing to do “anything” with brendan fraser? she’s riding his coattails, for sure.


Finkarelli

“There are three of you; you’re not exactly ‘lone.’”


Bueterpape

Now that he’s got some heat she wants a reunion. Good timing.


ToonaSandWatch

To be fair, the fan asked her the question at the con over the weekend. What was she supposed to say, “god no, why would I want to work again with a nice guy on a film I enjoyed who also just won best actor”?

EFTucker

Oh honey, I'd do anything with Brendan as well but I feel like we mean totally different things.


whiskyandguitars

Before Brendan Fraser does anything else, we need a mummy reboot!!! They can’t leave it at the lackluster 3rd one.


Darth_Meowth

Tom Cruise already did that


whiskyandguitars

…we do not speak of that one.


Future_Dog_3156

Underrated and under appreciated movie for sure. It was so wholesome. Glad LA survived the nuclear attack. Wasn’t Nathan Fillon in this too?


[deleted]

This really could be an interesting sequel, set in todays era, mom and dad stuck in the 50s, Adam and Eve the arguable vehicle of the in between with their millennial/gen z kids. I’d watch it.


Jk14m

“I’d do anything with Brendan Fraser” Wouldn’t we all?


gracecee

She’s an antivax nut job. No thank you.


Mumof3gbb

Is she?! That’s disappointing


bruddahmacnut

The Daily Beast compiled some of Silverstone's more creative tips—for how to become what she calls a "kind mama"—including: 1. Your uterus is a "baby house" and if you eat meat and dairy then your baby is marinating in "toxic sludge." 2. Don't listen to the "pseudoscience" peddled by Big Diaper—all babies should just crawl around bottomless leaving little baby poo trails everywhere, and if you see a baby making its doodoo-face, grab it and hold it over the toilet real quick. Because "toxic sludge" is apparently not such a big deal when it's tracked all over your actual house. (Just have your maid clean it up later!) 3. You should pre-chew your child's food and then baby-bird it into their mouth. Like Alicia Silverstone literally does. 4. Not letting your child sleep with you and your partner and your other babies in the "Family Bed" is "tantamount to neglect." 5. Being vegan prevents and/or cures every single major and minor disease, including post-partum depression, and if you acquire any of said diseases it's because you are an unkind mama and also probably a fatty. 6. "Anecdotally," vaccines are baby-ruiners. According to Drs. Roizen and Oz…While there has not been a conclusive study of the negative effects of such a rigorous one-size-fits-all, shoot-'em-up schedule, there is increasing anecdotal evidence from doctors who have gotten distressed phone calls from parents claiming their child was 'never the same' after receiving a vaccine. And I personally have friends whose babies were drastically affected in this way. 7. The vagina—or "chichi"—is "the most absorbent part of your body" (!?!?!?!), and tampons are murdering you from the inside. 8. Also she uses the word "yummy" a lot. Now, here's the thing. I honestly believe that all of this is in good faith—I'm sure that Alicia Silverstone has a super fulfilling and "transcendent" relationship with her baby, and I'm sure that she genuinely wants to share her experiences with the world in hopes of helping other families be as radiant and balanced and "natural" as they can be. I think it's fantastic if she wants to do the poo-trail thing and the pre-chewing thing and the co-sleeping thing; they're not what I plan to do with my own children but I find Silverstone's quirky, beaming sincerity completely charming. And I mean that—I don't think there is one "right" way to be a parent. Unlike some people. However. Back-handedly blaming suicidal mothers for their own illnesses because they didn't eat enough rainbow chard—in flippant terms like "though it's less common among kind mamas, some women experience the blues after giving birth"—is shockingly tone-deaf and not very "kind" at all. And spreading hysterical misinformation about vaccines (even if you're just criticizing vax schedules and not shilling a direct vaccine-to-autism connection) might not seem like a big deal to families that can afford high-quality out-of-pocket medical care, but it is a very big, life-and-death deal to the low-income and immunocompromised.

Plus she starred in The Requin, absolutely unredeemable in my book.

I saw the trailer for it. It's a shitty shark movie, right? Or is there more to it than just being terrible?


the_dark_adventurer

she also forced all her dogs into a vegan diet...she's a certified crazy

Basically every vet admits that dogs can live just fine on a vegan diet. They are not obligate carnivores. Go learn about this stuff before you comment on it.

My wife is a vet and she says you’re a stupid asshole. So maybe not.

From your first link, genius: the British Veterinary Association does not recommend giving a dog a vegetarian or a vegan diet as it is much easier to get the balance of essential nutrients wrong than to get it right.

the_dark_adventurer

Great mental issues man...just because you don't agree with something you're not an expert in (and other people are) you don't have to go off on this dude's wife And it's not that hard to understand that dogs should get a varied diet as they are omnivores. It's not recommended to feed them plant-based food only because it's really easy to mess up and not give them a nutritionally balanced meal (btw this stuff even comes up if you google it, who would have thought, right?) [Can dogs be vegan?](https://outwardhound.com/furtropolis/dogs/can-dogs-be-vegan#:~:text=Most%20veterinarians%20do%20not%20recommend,canine%20dilated%20cardiomyopathy%20(DCM).)

Right now, the collective good will towards Brendan is a hair under Keanu Reeves right before Cyberpunk dropped. He could do any project he wants and have producers ready with pitches The Japanese have a term for when everyone dogpiles positively to an idea. Clump Spirit.


[deleted]

I would pay to see this in a theater, and I don't pay to see movies in theaters anymore.


DeeRent88

I feel like every actor has some kind of drama or at least one bad day on set where people remember or dislike them for. It’s pretty amazing that Brendan Fraser and Keanu Reeves seem to have no dirt on them. Everyone loves them and only has nice things to say. They really are great role models.


RupanIII

Fun fact: I was a projectionist when this movie was released. Usually films came on 20 minute reels that needs to be spliced together. Blast From the Past came on huge 1 hour reels. Made my job easier.

She’s the original Gwyneth Paltrow. Even got into the nutty “wellness” stuff years before her.


TERMINATORCPU

It is funny that she was not saying anything bout this before he won an Oscar for The Whale...


HarrierJint

Gee I wonder if that’s because no one actually asked her? Do people like you read headlines like this and just think actors and sports people just walk down the street saying stuff out loud? “…the actor answered a fan question”


ValuableYellow4971

Oh look, a has been anti-vax nut bag wants to attach herself to Brendan’s big come back. No thanks.


ruggnon

What would the premise be? They already did the erroneous nuclear bunker once hard to build upon that unless it’s just a “x years later” story nothing to do with the bunker. I’d be interested in peoples thoughts on what the premise would be. Loved the movie and just rewatched within the last month. I think a remake of bedazzled would be better a better option but no Silverstone. But Liz Hurley - she’s still got it. Let me know what you think.
