Shame they never made any sequels.
I actually have a huge write-up on the failure of the sequels -- essentially, I argue that while the first movie fully embodies its core philosophy of postmodernism in its universe, themes, and plot, the sequels "have philosophy" but don't embody their philosophy. They have philosophical speeches, but the story isn't about the philosophy in those speeches.
I'm working on my next book which contains deep philosophical foundations, and I'm doing my best to keep this idea in mind as I write.
