When a legendary movie franchise returns after a long hiatus, the results don.t usually seem to be pretty. In 1990, The Godfather Part III attempted to live up to its two classic predecessors and failed miserably; it offered a decent flick at best, but not one that remotely compared to the earlier movies.

The Star Wars series returned from a 16-year break with 1999.s The Phantom Menace. Though the flick earned tons of money, it inspired widespread derision from fans. Very few . if any - find the .Prequel Trilogy. to match up to the .Original Trilogy., and many fans see Phantom Menace as the worst of the bunch.

Back in the 1980s, the Indiana Jones films reigned supreme. 1981.s Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1984.s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and 1989.s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade all found massive audiences and entertained a generation of fans.

So, Warner Bros. is moving forward with a prequel to I Am Legend. Rather than writing a good film they plan on bringing back Will Smith to reprise his role as scientist Robert Neville and chronicle the final days of humanity in New York before a man-made virus caused a plague that left Smith's character the lone survivor among a mutated mob in the city. I Am Legend helmer Francis Lawrence is returning to direct with unproven scripter D.B. Weiss penning the screenplay. I am sure some of you out there are excited about this. I don't know why, but I am sure you are out there. However, have you considered the history of prequels? Let's take a look and see what WB is getting themselves into.

Actor Harrison Ford feared he would not complete an early installment of the Indiana Jones franchise - until he was saved by medics working for a British soccer team.

The 65-year-old suffered a chronic back injury while riding an elephant in Sri Lanka during filming on Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom in 1984.

But Ford failed to recover from his injury and was forced to seek medical treatment after returning to the U.K.

And he was surprised when help was offered by British soccer team Manchester United.

Ford says, "I couldn't find anyone to treat me in London, Harley Street doctors were afraid of the liability issues. I finally got the Manchester United team doctor to treat me.

"They had to strap me to a trolley with a bottle of nitrous oxide. I had to be carried feet first down the narrow, twisting stairs and was taken by ambulance to Manchester to see the doctor."
