I used to love this film when I was in high school. I remember wanting to start my own pirate radio station out of the basement of my parents house and talk **** to the people out there.
Do you think they could make a sequel of sorts to this movie??? Should Slater star again or should they replace him with a younger actor???
Well somthing has happened between then and now that makes the idea of a pirate radio show rather insignificant.
I'll give you three hints:
#1: There's a cord running from your keyboard to it.
#2: Your mouse is also tethered to it.
#3: You're reading this message on it.

I honestly think a sequel would ruin this movie. The only good it could do is bring attention to the original.
sharePlus it would be hard to have Slaters character interesting and edgey when he would have had his teeth punched out in prison to enable him to give better head to the bull queers. He wouldn't be talking hard, but taking it hard would be a distinct reality. The truth may be a virus, but HIV would be a real one he has to deal with. So be it? That's the attitude you need in the prision shower..
In fact, this is the sequel right here. Christian Slater and prision sex.
Don't tell me it wouldn't sell.

I think the only way a sequel would work is if it followed Happy Harry as he grows up and becomes a very well paid professional/legitimate shock jock and is still harrassed by the FCC. I think it could bring up another good point that gen Xers seem concerned about now and that is the fact that even though we're all grown up, we still have the FCC (a group of appointed/NOT elected officials who have failed at their original job: to stop big corporations from monopolising the media) deciding what we can and can't listen to/see or say/do when we have an opportunity in the spotlight. Now that Harry is a legitimate dj he could do what we all wish Howard Stern would do: grow some balls and fight back against the FCC. I think a movie like that could possibly be very socially edifying if put in the right context.
In case you can't tell, I hate the FCC with a passion and nothing would make me happier than to find out the whole bureau was abolished.

I like the idea but with satellite radio now becoming popular and censorship almost non-existant in that format it would be hard to look like different when quite a few people will follow that same path with even more extreme or radical views and life perspectives.
Hell, you could have the KKK do a radio show, call it "Whitey Hates All *beep* and not have any legal recourse.
I think a sequel would be a bad thing truthfully.
