I'm surprised that movie's had such a resurgence, Travolta wasn't even that good in it, and the wings looked like crap...

I seriously thought that was the Michael they were referencing, and I would probably watch the sequel.
I feel like I remember him charging a bull with his head the CCR song Around the Bend playing while they are driving and nothing else.

Will the sequel also whitewash or otherwise shy away from the child abuse allegations?
These biopics glazing bad people are getting annoying. I liked the Steve Jobs one because of Jeff Daniels and Aaron Sorkin, but it also glossed over a lot of his worst behavior. There were a bunch of other movies about him that glazed him a lot more, too. And honestly, Sorkin’s didn’t really glaze him, it just suggested he wasn’t quite that bad because he kept his kid’s drawing all those years. Weakly. He was still a giant asshole to everyone.
