Half a Movie is better than None 9

I was just browsing "stuff" and foud out that the movie "Three Days of the Condor" is based on the book "Six days of the Condor".

It seems that it was too long to make a movie spanning six days of action and suspense.

Can you think of any other movies which would benefit from similar treatment?

Lets start with "The Magnificent Three-and-a-Half" or possibly "The Slightly Soiled Six"

about 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the "4th" rednose Dimension

Hey!! I have the DVD! :)

Mind you I also own "Plan 4 1/2 from Outer Space"


meanwhile; "Catch 11" and Buck Rogers [somewhere between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries]

I didn't see anyone mention the Three and a Half Samurai and it's American knock-off The Magnificent Three and a Half.

The Magnificent Three and a Half" was just in the initial post, but never mind, "Three and a Half Samurai" could have followed earlier.

@ Chris - Year Zero would apply to that one for so many reasons. Why restrict ourselves to only half values?

The fact that Year Zero never existed is very apropos
