Sequels that never should have BEEN made!

[Alexander JL]

(On either television, or as a motion picture)

I'll start off...

Casablanca TV series (the 80's one with Ray Liotta)
Gone With the Wind II: Scarlett (Starring Timothy Dalton)
Star Wars Holiday Special (Well *sort of* a sequel)
Chinatown II: The Two Jakes
2 Fast 2 Furious (Crappy Sequel to a Crappy Movie)
Dumb and Dumberer (Ok, its a prequel, but still... it makes the first look like a Fellini)

[Alexander JL]

Damn... wrong forum... someone please delete this.

[spiderman_2k]

Can't it just be moved, Or is there a thread practically the same as this already?

[TyRoss]

Yes as a matter of fact it can

[FilmJerk]

men in black 2 sucked donkey balls

[PsychoMike]

I know this is going to piss off a bunch of people but The Star Wars Prequels
Any of those straight to video sequels of disney movies.

Most sequels shouldn't be made unless they add something to the first and they are done well.

[spiderman_2k]

Scary Movie 2

[ZombieMan]

Men In Black 2 sucked ass in my opinion. BUT the worst sequel EVER is Troll 2. That movie is sooooooo pitiful that its not even funny. Rent it or something and watch how horrible it really is. No ****, if they said Gigli was bad. Gigli has nothing on this movie.

[awakened]

jeepers creepers 2 was even worse than the first

[Dracula]

Rocky 2-5, it wasn't neccisarily a horrible movie, but all those sequals really gave the original a bad reputation

[droidguy1119]

Alien Resurrection was pretty bad.

Heh just as I figured...the first one was possibly the worst movie I've ever seen and even though I haven't seen the 2nd one I totally agree with you!
:p

[spiderman_2k]

Yep, Jeepers Creepers 2 Blew ass...The first one wasn't exactly great, I didn't know it was really possible to get any worse...JC2 succeeded.

[evenstar]

Grease 2 and Charles Angels spring to mind. Just bad movies.

[moviegeek]

nightmare on elm street 2

[Optimus Magnus]

Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions, the shouldn't of been made

[Tara]

Jason X. I hated that movie, it was stupidly pointless.

I also didn't like Evil Dead 2, but i love Evil Dead army of darkness, so i guess 2 wasn't that bad.

[sniktawt]

Highlander 2, 3, 4 (The Movies, NOT the Banned CS! Poster)(lol)

Exorcist 2

American Psycho 2

Robocop 2, 3

Superman III, IV

Batman 2-4

The Fly 2

From Dusk till Dawn 2-3

Timecop II

There's so many.LOL!!

I was initially thinking - theres not really any sequels that shouldnt of been made but your right Jeepers creepers was god awful, neither of the films should of been made.

[FaceOff]

predator2, matrix revolution, and jeepers creepers 2

Batman 2


Hey, I like those movies!!!


T3 is a very fresh example of sucky sequel...

[Kelso]

Agreed.

[Warblade]

I'll say this over and over again...

The last 2 Batman movies....only movies that have been able to repeately put me to sleep.

[Pip]

Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle. That movie sucks ass. The worst movie I've ever seen. The first one was bad....I didn't think they could make the sequal any worse. I sure was wrong. Bernie Mac was the best part of it. I hate these Matrix-like fight scenes that have no place in the movie/story. Like they have some sort of "super powers." I'm the first to take a movie for what it is and enjoy it. But some ***** juist doesn't belong and makes it redicuilous..

[Kerry]

Jurassic Park II!!!! I read the book before the film was released....the damn t-rex never went to San diego....I was only about 12 when I saw the movie...I was deeply disappointed...although the third one wasn't THAT bad.....but they still should've kept the first and left it at that!

[Moviefan]

GhostBusters 2

[moviegeek]

ghostbusters was good

[spiderman_2k]

I liked Ghostbusters 2, Sure it wasn't as good as the original. it was more kiddy and too much like The Real Ghostbusters, but It was still a good sequel.

[olujosh]

Halloween III is quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen...

Halloween I & II were GREAT (within their own genre), but III was downright UNWATCHABLE. And it only got worse from there...UNTIL Halloween: H20, which I thought was pretty good (if you ignore Halloween 3-6 -- or whatever number they are on) ...and I haven't seen the latest Halloween, but I heard that the "bridge" (which is SO CRUCIAL in sequels) was pretty bad.

You can talk all day about horror sequels...they have to be judged among other horror movies.

The new movie "Son of the Mask" (aka: THE MASK 2), NOT starring Jim Carrey -- could possibly be one of the worst ideas for a seq.

BATMAN was AWESOME....the 2nd BATMAN would have been just as good had the Penguin not been portrayed as a disgusting mutant....and the 3rd BATMAN was BAD....the 4th BATMAN was UNWATCHABLE...and I'm sure the 5th one will be just as bad.

ALIEN (awesome), ALIENS (awesome), ALIEN 3 (still liked it), ALIEN: RESURRECTION (had a hard time liking it...a couple edits and that movie is pretty good)....I'm curious about "A vs. P" and whenever the 5th one comes out.

TERMINATOR 2 was better than 1...but only because the special effects were so much better when 2 was made...but I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed #3. I'm scared to see what #4 will be like...not really looking forward to it, they should just leave it as it is.

[Ben Richards]

The first Highlander movie is one of my all-time favorites, but they never should have made Highlander 2, 3 and 4.
They sucked big time. Recently I saw Endgame, and they killed of Connor McCloud!! How insane can yo be.

[Catshe]

Can we say all sequels should never be made, they should be put into room 101 as the idea is thought of.

[Alexander JL]

That's not true... there are some good sequels out there...

Like Fraiser for example. (Ok, it was a TV series, but same thing). And then The Pink Panther (which was a 'sequel' to A Shot in the Dark), and a couple of Planet of the Apes sequels, etc...

[Catshe]

okay there are some good TV sequels, but I can not think of any movie sequels, perhaps star wars but I was a kid when they were out.

[droidguy1119]

Man. Somoene said Evil Dead II...that's a crime. Evil Dead II is easily the best of the series. And Alien3, I've never watched the theatrical version, but I thought the Alien3 Extended Cut was good.

[Boods]

men in black 2
alien resurrection
scary movie 2
dumb and dumberer
matrix revolutions (should have been made but better than the shyte it was)

[Alexander JL]

I'll take you up on that challenge! Here are some I came up with off the top of my head...

Planet of the Ape's sequels (some of them)
The Pink Panther (sequel to A Shot in the Dark)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Terminator 2
Die Hard with a Vengence
Gremlins 2
The Naked Gun 2 & 3
Lethal Weapon 2,3,4
Pulp Fiction (Arguably a sequel to Reservoir Dogs... sort of)
Back to the Future 3

[drjones]

For a second, I thought you were saying Indy 2 & 3 were bad. I'd have been very upset.

Anything past Jaws 2 shouldn't have been made. Tremors was hilarious, Tremors 2 was ok, Tremors 3 was headache inducing, and I have yet to see Tremors 4.

Back to the Future 3 Okay you win but I only agree with Indiana Jones and Leathal weapon. Explain how Pulp Fiction is a sequel.

What? You didn't like Terminator 2?

How is Pulp Fiction a sequel? Well, short answer- its not. But it could arguably be considered one...

Originally, Pulp Fiction was intended as a follow-up to Reservoir Dogs... The coolest cat in Reservoir Dogs was named Vic Vega. He was probably the most popular character of the movie, and Tarantino wanted to continue his adventures. But he couldn't! Vic dies! So instead he considered writing a story about what happened prior to the heist... After writing it, he realized he had created a completely different character. Add to the fact that Michael Madsen couldn't do the movie due to scheduling conflicts... and Tarantino just added a few letters, and we get Vincent Vega!

The two weren't planned to be brothers. Only recently did Tarantino decide... what the heck, give the fans a connection to dwell over...

But like I said, that is very much open to debate. The movie is a semi-sequel.

Nightmare On Elm Street 2 was crap but three was wicked

a horiible sequal to a peice o' crap movie, IMO

[spiderman_2k]

Haven't they made or are in the process of making a Mimic 3??

[Pointy Shrub]

Blade 2 was so bad compared to the first. i hope Blade Trinity makes up for the bad story line of no. 2.

Charlies Angels 2 - UCK!

Batman And Robin - OMG....

Predator 2 - Should also have been made, but not like that

[Doomsday]

T3 - Should have been made, but not like that



Took the words out of my mouth.

[jackassfan]

Charlies angels full throttle how it got a cinema release is beyond me along with XxX it is the worst film ever made both got a 0/10

[rosncranz]

the greatest sequel of all time is before sunset, hands down the best imo.

sequels that shouldnt have been made:
pirates of the carribean--there is no need at all, though there is a very real possibility they will be good.
tomb raider--the first one was awful enough as it was.
friday--wtf???
the birds remake--worst idea ever i hate hollywood!!
texas chainsaw massacre remake--not horrible but uneccessary, the movie with zellweger and mcauneghay was really bad.
urban legends-- i actually enjoyed the first one, but the second was horrendous...

oh and for the record i liked jeepers creepers 2, it wasnt that good, but the first was so bad i expected the same from the second but thought it was actually a lot better--low expectations. and i am one that actually liked matrix revolutions.

[Moviefan]

Back to the futuer 3 I never liked it much. It was mostly love story. I only liked it when they destroyed the Car.

[Tornado]

I don't like the way it was made, but it did pretty much HAVE to be made (with the way they ended the second one).

[Doomsday]

God help us if they ever go through with the Gladiator sequel.

[Glordreen]

2 Fast 2 Furious (never seen it)
Rocky V
Termors 4
Blood Sport 2-4 (there may be more than 4)
Batman and Robin
Jurassic Park III
Alien 3 & Resurrection

[rosncranz]

alien 3 wasnt that bad!!!!!!

[Tornado]

God help us if they ever go through with the Gladiator sequel.

I heard that if they made it, it would be a prequel.

[Gomamon]

I agree about T3.

[Johnlindsey289]

The first Friday ( Not Friday The 13th, the urban comedy) was great but the sequels sucked!

Hey man! Blade 2 was awesome, had some nice gore, great action and was as satisyfing as the first movie.

T2 kicked major a$$! how can you not like it? but anyone looking forward to Star Wars Episode III? maybe it will improve over 1 & 2 and be as good as the classic trilogy.

Now Rambo II and III are not bad as some say, but they were both excellent no-brain action flicks for the macho guys out there.

[konman72]

the greatest sequel of all time is before sunset, hands down the best imo.
I don't know, it was only like 80 minutes long. Still a great movie, but the best sequal ever? I just don't think so. But of course it had to compete with the masterpice that was Before Sunrise so I can give it that.

Of course I am taking all Matrix movies out of the running since I am admittedly such a fanboy that NOTHING competes for me lol.

[Tornado]

but anyone looking forward to Star Wars Episode III?

No, I've just got an avatar, location, signature, and custom title all related to Star Wars. ;)

[onelegasy]

I felt ALIEN3 was much Worse.

lol i agree with you! :)

sunset is a masterpiece, it doesnt matter how long it is. there just simply is no other sequel thats better.

[konman72]

It just killed me cause it was going strong....and then it ended. Maybe I need to watch it again. It is DEFINATELY a masterpiece, and it is probably my favorite non-biased/non-matrix ;) sequal.

[Tornado]

sunset is a masterpiece, it doesnt matter how long it is. there just simply is no other sequel thats better.

The Godfather Part II and the Empire Strikes Back are both better in my opinion.

[Steve125]

That's so damn true, in my books at least. Love that movie.

[rosncranz]

The Godfather Part II and the Empire Strikes Back are both better in my opinion.

those are trilogy's, its not the same thing.

[FVD]

Timecop II

They actually made a Timecop 2?????

I must admit the Universal Soldier sequels were disappointing not to mention the Kickboxer and Bloodsport sequels. At least Kickboxer V was pretty good and Bloodsport 4 was okay.

The American Ninja movies were a joke. The sequels were just as bad as the first.

Not to whoever it was that said that Gremlins 2 was bad, I really enjoyed it. It was hilarious as hell.

Others to mention:

Home Alone 3 & 4
Species III
Under Siege 2 (& 3 OMG)
House Party 4 (the first 2 were the best)
Big Momma's House should never be made. Martin Lawrence should do some supporting actor work like Bad Boys. A bit more of that and I'll probably be happier.

FVD.

[Brunnen-G]

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one so far.

Alien vs. Predator

Also, Hitcher 2, Salem's Lot 2, any of the Wild Things sequels (the original was pretty unnecessary too.)

Die Hard 2- I really, really hated this movie.......

I thought this movie was awesome when I was a little kid. When I watch it now I find myself cringing at some parts and just how over the top ridiculous some parts are.

Although I don't think its a TERRIBLE movie. ;)

I wouldn't say alot of these movies SHOULDN'T have been made. Considering the success of the original and the potential for new stories I think most of them had the potential for good sequels (eg Matrix, Superman). It's just in hindesight that you wish they hadn't been made.

On the other hand you have to wonder at the logic of making American Pyshco 2.
