THE GREATEST SEQUEL EVER MADE

THE GREATEST SEQUEL EVER MADE
Cracked #155, November 1978
w: Joe Catalano
a: John Severin

All films here were parodied and/or will be posted here.

More of Cracked trying to repeat parodies as well as do several at once like they did all throughout the 70s and 80s.

At the beginning are their versions of The Bad News Bears and Marlon Brando as The Godfather.
Then Roy Scheider as Sheriff Brody in Jaws, C3P0 and R2D2 in Star Wars, and Richard Dreyfus as Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. They make a reference to how Dreyfus also played a character in Jaws.
John Travolta as Danny Zuko in Grease, Chewbacca also in Star Wars, and Sylvester Stallone as Rocky.
They had The Talking Blob as one of their recurring characters, and tried to convince their readers he was a real movie character.
There was a movie called The Bad News Bears Go to Japan which hadn't yet been released, but they still managed to fit demeaning Asian stereotypes in.
Steve McQueen and Paul Newman in The Towering Inferno, and King Kong.
