: Hannibal Lechter was "technically" a literary character, whose books were made into more than one film. This is closer to Sherlock Holmes or some such issue. Characters who are created for the screen are defined to a much greater extent by the actors who played them.
I agree with it not being the same as a sequel. However, the guy does have a point, and WE would know. The trick is to avoid telling the critics. Personally, I feel that if Mallrats was released today with a bigger budget it would have had much kinder reviews, especially after the likes of "American Pie". This is why I think Mallrats 2 under a different monicker is a good idea.
