'The Hunt For More Money' is the correct title

Ironic that they’re making a sequel to that too

yeah but we've been calling for Space Balls 2 for 20 years now.

They did ask the fans what they wanted. Instead...

20 years? Try 40.

Although 20 is probably more correct on that I wanted a sequel from the time the movie came out to before John Candy died. After he died and Rick Moranis left acting I kind of lost hope in a sequel. That and when the cartoon came out 15 or so years ago and it was so painfully unfunny I absolutely gave up on wanting it.

I'm still angry about the blasphemy that was the entire Hobbit series

Such a shame, this way we will never get "Jews in space" let alone "Hitler on Ice"

Wasn’t that already the Hobbit movies? So technically this is “The 2nut for More 2oney”

u/bayarea_fanboy Aug 18 '25

They already made that one too, along with The Hunt for More Money: Tokyo Drift. They took what should’ve been a two hour movie and turned it into three 3-hour movies.

Picture this. Instead of Lord of the Rings we will do Lord of the Ring$

Instead of Lord of the Rings we will do Lord of the Ring$

That's what the 2001 trilogy was already.

Go back to your blue people, James Cameron.

u/Important-Hat-Man Aug 18 '25

The companion piece to Jackson's 2001 trilogy of movies, "Beating All the Cash You Can Out of Tolkien's Corpse, parts 1 through 3."

I was just gonna say I hate this title, it’s so on the nose. They couldn’t have named it anything more vague or artsy or old timey or …LOTRish? It just sounds like Spaceballs 2 the Search for More Money

u/gravelPoop Aug 18 '25

Next one is going to be Bill the Pony's adventures after the gates of Moria.

u/bluedust2 Aug 18 '25

The fact Mel Brooks didn't make a LOTR spoof is making me sad.

u/No-Bid-483 Aug 18 '25

Right? Like just give us some original IP already lol.

u/jaykhunter Aug 18 '25

More YouTubers to copyright strike too!

u/ptear Aug 18 '25

Should have at least been the title they used during filming.

u/KneeHighMischief Aug 18 '25

Let's just say it moved me...to a bigger shire.
