En amerikansk varulv i London är vid det här laget en kultklassiker som än idag har en av de bästa "varulvs-förvandlingar" vi tagit del av på den vita duken. Självklart fick denna film en uppföljare i form av En amerikansk varulv i Paris, som regissören John Landis inte var inblandad i på något vis. Han har offentligt gått ut och sagt att han direkt avskydde filmen. Kritikerna sågade även dem sönder den längs med fotknölarna, och idag är den inte mer än en högst medioker varulvsfilm från nittiotalet. I boken Beware The Moon: The Story of An American Werewolf In London kan du läsa om uppföljaren som John Landis egentligen ville göra. Nedan är några citat från boken:
"The movie was about the girl that the boys talk about at the beginning of the movie, Debbie Klein. She gets a job in London as a literary agent and while she's there, starts privately investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Jack and David. The conceit was that during the time in the first film where Jenny (Agutter) goes to work and David is pacing around the apartment, he actually wrote Debbie Klein a letter. It was all to do with this big secret that David had never told Jack that he had a thing with her.
She went back to the Slaughtered Lamb and everyone is still there! I think the only changes were a portrait of Charles and Diana where the five-pointed star used to be and darts arcade game instead of a board. It's then when she speaks to Sgt McManus, the cop from the first movie who didn't die, that she finds out that Jenny is still in London. She calls her and leaves an answer phone message, which we then reveal is being listened to by the skeletal corpses of Jack and David, watching TV in Alex's apartment! The big surprise at the end was that Alex was the werewolf. It was pretty wild. The script had everybody in it from the first movie - including all the dead people!"
