Billy Crystal Says There Have Been Discussions About CITY SLICKERS 3
I am a huge fan of the 1991 comedy-western City Slickers and its 1994 sequel, City Slickers 2. I rewatched the films a few months ago now and they are way more relatable to me now than when I first saw them as a young teen.
Billy Crystal, Jack Palance, Daniel Stern, and the rest of the cast were awesome in those movies, and they delivered such entertaining performances.
After rewatching the films, I thought it would be interesting to see what some of those characters are up to all these years later. Well, According to Crystal, there have been discussions about that.
While talking to CB, the actor was asked about the possibility of City Slickers 3 and he said: “Yeah I mean, I don’t know how serious a talk is but there’s a little bit of a discussion about it, what would it be, you know, for me that it would have to feel like it was not a sequel but a movie that could stand on its own.”
Crystal went on to reminisce about his time making the first City Slickers and how much fun he had, saying: “A lot of moments in City Slickers were really fun because again, like this, it was so different.
“Being on horseback and working with the cattle and obviously you know for me acting with Jack Palance was thrilling because he was in the first movie movie I ever saw and um to and then act with him, that was terrific.”
Daniel Stern previously shared his interesting in returning for a third film saying: “Well, City Slickers would be more open to it realistically because there’s a whole other new story to tell of Billy and I and [Jon] Lovitz maybe, or whoever coming back and having a late-life crisis, as opposed to a midlife crisis. Or I could see stories.”
As of right now, a third City Slickers film is not in development, but it’s one of those film projects I wouldn’t mind seeing get made.
