In PII we had Liz, In PIII we had Rocky and Tim, And in P4 we had Jennifer, So what kind of Tag Along Character would you like to see in P5, I myself would like to see Reggie run across a group of Survivalists who are trying to survive while more and more towns are being destroyed by the Tallman, I think it would be cool to see Reggie roll into a ghost town that has been destroyed by the Tallman and have Reggie look around and then he notices he hear noises and things start to move and it turns out to be a group of Survivalists hiding because they dont know if Reggie is good or evil, And later on The Survivalists join with Reggie to the go and take out the Tallman for good, I think that would be neat to see in P5 and neat characters for Reggie to run across and of course a couple of these Survivalists would be Sphere Drill Victims, So what kind of characters would you like to see in P5??

What you described is something similar to the Phantasm 1999 script that was never used
here's the original plot for Phantasm 1999:
The year is 2012 and there are only three U.S. states left. Between New York and California is the wasteland known as the Plague Zone. Unfortunately, the evil Tall Man controls that area. Since many people are dead, the Tall Man is able to make thousands of dwarf slaves for his planet daily in the Mormon Mausoleum. Besides him, the other residents are "baggers," human-like creatures that are infected by the Tall Man's blood, the dwarves, and, of course, the silver spheres, all trying to break out of the barrier that contains them and into the real world. A group of hi-tech troops are sent in to destroy the red dimension where the Tall Man gets his power, Reggie follows so he can f hi-tech troops are sent in to destroy the red dimension where the Tall Man gets his power, Reggie follows so he can find Mike after a series of nightmares he had. Will they be able to finally destroy the Tall Man for good

Personally, I enjoy Phantasm films most when it's our main players on screen. Don't get me wrong, the side characters are interesting (and sometimes necessary) in their own rights, but I just don't care for them a whole lot. If there are such side characters in P5, I hope they limit it to just one or two.

I would have to agree with Gopher there.

I agree with him in a way, but I personally really liked the tagalongs insofar (Can Liz really be considered a tagalong? She was a main player in P2), but if overloaded with quirky goofs, it could really get annoying and sink PV!

I dunno I'm indifferent on this. I didn't mind Liz or Alchemy in P2 but I hated Rocky and Tim in P3 .
I'd much prefer it to just be Reggie , Mike and Jody + HemiCuda vs the Tall Man and Dwarves like it was originally.

Would love to see some old army major/soldier/survivalist (akin to snake pliskin or r. lee ermey in full metal jacket) as some help for them along the way. Give the boys a few more resources to use in their war

Im with Gopher too, stick with what works (the BIG3, Mike , Jody & RegMan). But then Im an older guy, maybe stuck in the passed a lil to much, so who am I to say? But to me thats what killed Highlander, they got to far out and got away from the main plot to much. To much "high tec" way out stuff in H2 and it bombed. Keep it simple, to me thats what made PHANTASM rule!......I will say for and ending to PV, Id like to see Tally stripped of his powers and run down and killed by my beloved 'Cuda...(PAYBACK)

OO I left out, at the same time Tally dies Jedediah is returned to his own time and the whole "PHANTASM" thing never happens because our heros have alterd the future. & the film ends with Jed in the 1800s back home...

I quite like that idea of Jeb managing to get back home, with Reg & Co having saved his soul effectively.

That would really be an odd twist, to have the series be about Jeb and not MIke(ael). I sorta like that idea.

I think this late in the game it would be hard for Reggie and Mike to trust anyone other than each other.

I would LOVE to see Christopher Lee make a cameo appearance as a 2nd tallman.

That would be an interesting twist. I know that in the comic, Mike & Co. are supposed to meet up with another "hero-esque" character and there is also another bad guy. Romano should throw Lee in that spot. The poor guy would probably end up getting cut out like all of his other recent roles .

I would LOVE to see Christopher Lee make a cameo appearance as a 2nd tallman. I really don't see how this would work, as the Tall Man is really just the embodiment of death. Wouldn't seem right to have two "deaths"... know what I mean? Now as for Mike transforming into a new Tall Man, that is entirely conceivable since Mike would just be replacing Jeb in the role of Death.

That would be cool as well, Mike (in my eyes) has become another "Tall Being"

I always thought it would be cool if Liz or Tim came back even though they were killed off. I know it sounds weird but who knows. Either cast different actors or have the original ones come back. They were killed by the tall man but maybe trapped on his planet or something...would be better then just a throw away character that teams up with Reggie for a few minutes then tries to kill him. I always thought a cool plot for part 5 would be Mike turning into the next Tall Man and how Reggie has to go against him to stop him. Who knows, we'll see.

Thanks, Angus looks much like Christopher Lee in the scene where the tall man stops and turns at the ice vender on the street. I have seen Lee in some Hammer film Dracula films and they look so much alike in that scene.

I´d like to see Reggie and Mike with a group of thieves, or soldiers, or survivors... I don´t know...(the group could include Rocky from Phantasm 3 ) I´d like to see them leading the group and lost in a massive futuristic mausoleum, and some death scenes of secundary characters of the group, and pursuits, and more action than phantasm but a little bit similar atmosphere. I´d like to see them entering in the red-tall-man´s-world in some scenes and the transformation of Mike into the evil sucessor tall man, but he becames good at the end of the movie and kills the real tall man.
