Rocky

These days, if a film is successful, it's almost guaranteed that they will be having a sequel and many screenwriters leave cliffhangers and loose ends that can be picked back up in a follow-up.

Not long ago we looked at films with original scripts that, during development, turned into sequels - but what about when things go the other way?

A lot of characters and plots come and go through many script rewrites and some of your favourite characters aren't even planned in the film's original ideas.

Sometimes they aren't supposed to last to the last scene but get saved for one reason or another.

We all want our favourite film stars to do what they do for the love of their art, but Lamborghinis and mansions in the Hollywood Hills aren't going to pay for themselves.
