History of the World Part II was honestly fucking great. It also had very little to do with Mel Brooks. It had brilliant comedians at the helm writing and steering everything: Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, and Wanda Sykes. A goddamn DREAM TEAM, and they pulled it off regardless of the reviews.

This outing had better heavy hitters really leaning hard into the comedy. I've heard good things about The Naked Gun remake which is a lot of people in this same arena, plus Seth Macfarlane. That's quite a big team.

Please don't ruin this great movie with a sub-par sequel.

Rick Moranis, I'm speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

You better fucking show up.

If Rick Moranis isn't in this one, then it's going to flop.

From what I remember, he left acting in the 90s to raise his children, but I'm pretty sure all your kids have grown up and moved out by now, Rick. Don't let us down.

Name one reboot, rehash, sequel, etc in the last twenty years that have included a star from the original movie as an attraction to make it cool that wasn't shite.
