They Simply Disappeared From The Sequels

Police Academy movies seemed to drop characters here and there without explanation.

They just wanted to appeal to the kiddies.

"Short Round" The little smart ass Asian kid from Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom. Though I WAS glad he never showed up again. He  just faded away like one of Indies love interests.

Casey Jones was in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Disappeared for Part 2.  Re-appeared in Part 3.  Kinda wish he was in Part 2.  And no mention was made, either.

Home Alone 4- So, they made 1&2.  Part 3 was completely unrelated to them.  Then, for Part 4, they decided to have the same family portrayed in 1&2, but with new actors as Macaulay Culkin was a grown man.  So, in doing this sequel with the McAllister clan, pretty much his ENTIRE family no longer exists except for his parents, and older brother Buzz.  And, Marv shows up to rob him again, only for some reason, no Harry.  I don't even think they mentioned WHY he wasn't there.
