Encino Man 2: The Sequel:

Since his 1992 film Encino Man was a hit, Pauly Shore is pushing for Walt Disney Company to make another sequel.

“The sequel to Encino Man was promised in the end credits sequence of the classic Pauly Shore comedy when it came out, so I hope that we finally get something,” says Shore.

Are we finally going to get the sequel promised 28 years ago in the end credits sequence of the classic Pauly Shore comedy, Encino Man? Pauly sure hopes so. Over the past week, actor Ashton Kutcher has been campaigning on social media for Disney+ to finally make Encino Man 2. Pauly Shore claims that his former co-stars Sean Astin and Brendan Fraser, whom he has remained tight friends with since filming the original movie, are both ready and willing to return.

Encino Man arrived in 1992 and would become an important comedy with its introduction of Pauly Shore’s Weasel character. Though he was already a popular veejay on MTV and had earlier appeared in the long-lost cult classic  Phantom of the Mall, as well as more recently appearing in TV series such as Married…With Children and 21 Jump Street, Encino Man served as Pauly’s introduction to Hollywood.
