I and so many others loved A Fish Called Wanda, and the question was whether there would be A Fish Called Wanda 2, as the whole world wanted to see Cleese, Kline, Curtis and Palin reunite because of their fantastic chemistry. I read that John Cleese was hoping a "sequel" would be along the tradition of the Carry On movies where the same troupe of cast members would be in a different setting but kind of the same comedic style. Maybe focus groups were conducted and the audience were kind of confused about the concept behind Fierce Creatures, so a genius make up with the line in the cinema trailer "It's not a sequel, it's an equal." Kind of neat if you know I mean.
The IMDb plot line for Fierce Creatures is: "Zookeepers struggle to deal with the policies of changing directors." Not sure if it's a coincidence, but Australian Fred Schepsi was brought in as the new director following initial test screenings, as the original director Robert Young was unavailable for reshoots. Also a new director of photography, Australian Ian Baker came on board, replacing the legendary Adrian Biddle, who had an impressive resume as director of photography.
Who knows, maybe one day Cleese, Kline, Curtis and Palin can reunite for a third film in the tradition of the Carry On movies. It's never too late when it comes to sequels, I mean equals.
