    Right on! Yes I always thought this movie deserved a good sequel. Your ideas definitely have merit. Definitely needs to be some situation that reunites them as decent guys minding their own business but who won't stand by while people in general and especially their friends and family get stomped on by a pack of mean greedy pigs.
    I like the idea of Kline giving up his guns and I would add the twist that something heinous happens that changes his wife's mind. Sort of like Patriot Games when Jack Ryan's wife urges him to rejoin the CIA after their daughter is almost killed.
    Everyone should boycott all movies until they make this movie! OK, well that might be a bit much. Couldn't live without the movies!

      I think in a documentary on the first DVD, Kasdan says he did write a sequel, but felt that too much time had passed since the original and that, with the lives the characters lived, most of them probably wouldn't have been around by the time of the sequel. Also, he said he never really thought much of doing sequels and felt you should just do your best on a film and then move on, so he never really pursued it. Still, I'd love to see what the script was like that he wrote.

          "he speaks in his normal british voice why would he do otherwise? people dont realize that in the post civil war west, one person in 7 were british also one in 7 were black "
          That is a great observation.

            In a country made great by immigration, I would expect to hear a multitude of different accents.
            I wonder when the "American accent" as we all know it (yes, I know there are quite a few different versions) finally stabilised?

                He doesn't have an American Western accent. He just speaks with his normal voice. He's brilliant in this movie.

                  Probably misquoted, but I loved that bit.

                    My favorite John Cleese line is his first, when he enters the bar during Mal's (Danny Glover's) fight with the local rednecks straight out of a Monty Python sketch.
                    "What's all this, then?"

                      Loved this movie. One of my favorite westerns. I thought Cleese was good, and jfemaleder, you're only slightly off. I think he said "my jurisdiction". I loved that part too.

                          I love it when he told the bar owner Carter not to push his luck when Carter asks who was going to paid for the damages that was cause by the fight between Danny Glover and Carter's three goons.

                            Cleese: "Now, let's talk about you chaps."
                            Kline: "We'd like to stay."
                            Cleese: "That remains to be seen."
                            Funniest scene in the whole movie.

                              That's more a standard English policeman's line like as in "Hallo, Hallo, Hallo, what's all this then?" Certainly predates the Python era.

                                I'm sure it does, but that doesn't change the fact that on Monty Python's Flying Circus they did in fact use that exact line all of the time. Seeing as John Cleese was the one saying it in this movie and multiple times on their TV show, I think it is safe to say that it is a nod to Monty Python's.

                                  According to the "memorable quotes" section it goes: "Today, my jurisdiction ends here. Pick up my hat."
                                  This was immediately after the rifleman shot his hat off his head.

                                    is he a bad guy, I don't recall if he is? I did love this movie, Cleese was great, I know he was the sheriff in all, but was he a baddie at all? I'm pretty sure he was a good guy. "I don't much care for that word" lol.

                                          John Cleese was not half bad in A Fish Called Wanda. He was rather buff.
                                          Check out the scene where he is hiding behind the picture frame.
