I know that at a QnA panel, Mike, Reg and Angus talked a little about one of the many various scripts for P5. Both Mike and Reg mentioned that James LeGros's version of Mike was featured in the script along with A. Michael Baldwin's version leading many to believe that Coscerelli was going to imply that part 2 took place in some alternate world.
Would anyone be interested in seeing the story go this route? Two different Mikes? This alternate thing could explain various things here and there. Especially why the movies end a certain way and the next one start off differently. Also it could explain why in P4, Reg doesn't even mention Tim. Or in P3 why Mike and Reg never bring up Liz. You would think that Mike would ask about Liz, unless it was a different Mike? The same thing goes for Reg, a different Reg.
Lots of different realities. Different Reggies, Mikes, Jodys, and Tall Men. Doesn't the Tall Man travel through time and space? He could also travel to other dimensions couldn't he?

There's a possibility.

I wouldn't count this out. I've seen many other shows and movies with AU themes and such, so it wouldn't be weird to me if this way the case.

I have posted this somewhere on this site before, but i will reconfirm; Once i heard of this "alternate reality" idea, it just cemented itself in the Phantasm story for me. Not like it's a great idea, but more of "Yeah, that is EXACTLY why there are 2 Mikes' !" I think that it's an off screen fact in the Phantasm Universe, kind of like Kristen's story "The Portal." It's just the "way it happened", can't prove it, can't explain it, these two things are just facts! Funny how things on screen and off in this series just gets lodged in your head...

Phantasm 4 ending, tall man goes through the portal, reggie goes too. My way of making 5 would have Legros step out of the gate and help his other dying Mike and they both try to find Reggie and let the adventure and mission begin.

If there is an AU Mike,wouldn`t there also be a AU Liz? I hate to say this but Liz was a character that Don had to create in Phantasm II because Universal requested a love interest for Mike. He had to write her in and this is why he killed her off so hastily in Phantasm III because he didn't want Liz as part of the main group of characters that we all like. So I'm not sure if Liz would ever return in any form.
