ITT, we bitch about really piss-poor sequels. Sure, sequels rarely come up to the original (exceptions including The Godfather II and Bride of Frankenstein)--but some are so poorly done, such obvious attempts at making a quick cheap buck, it is disgusting.

Take Lake Placid II--please. I loved the first one, waited eagerly for the sequel to filter down from the new release section to the 99 cent section at BB--and it was awful. Wooden acting, totally cliched characters, gratuitous soft-cord porn, mediocre FX--what a piece of poop.

So--what sequels do you love to hate?

For me, Highlander 2: The Quickening is the epitome of sequel assfuckery. I'm sure I could name more but this one is the movie that springs to mind when asked about sequels that suck.

If movies were abortions, this would be a 3rd trimester, back alley, coat hanger fuck job.

Most sequels suck, there are some exceptions of course, but that still rarely happens.

Blair Witch Project 2 - the epitome of fail.
Spiderman 2.
Ocean's Twelve blew.
One exception is Terminator 2, which is undoubtedly one of the greatest movies ever conceived.

I'd also just like to add
Aliens (Y) one of the best sequels ever made

The lion king and starship troopers

/thread

Conan the destroyer.

Holy fucking shit, The Barbarian is one of my all time favorites, the destroyer broke my black little heart in two. Pure Horseshit.

i disagree, I thought it was pretty good. It' didn't have the raw feeling of the first one, but it had a little more flare. It had a better pace to it.

Horror movies have the absolute worst sequels of any genre.

The Hills Have Eyes 2
The Eye 2
The Ring 2 wasn't that great.

Pirates of the Carribean. They manage to destroy the greatness of the first movie in, oh, 30 seconds or so.

Ocean's Twelve blew.
The Hills Have Eyes 2
Thanks and thanks.

I had a dream last night about a Fight Club sequel. it had Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter as Tyler and Marla, but Ed Norton was replaced by some fat indian with a bad accent.

the plot had something to do with The Narrator and Tyler trying to take down Project Mayhem which had evolved into a huge organisation......pretty fucking stupid considering the end of the first.

there was also a scene involving Seth Rogen and some other dudes stoned off they're heads talking about a "Miracle Drug".

if that movie existed it'd get my vote for the worst sequel ever.....cause it was fucking horrible.


As for movies that actually do exist (unfortunately)
Exorcist 2
Blues Brothers 2000
the Matrix sequels
Terminator 3
Alien 3
Speed 2
Batman & Robin.
X-Men 3
The Sting II
Men In Black 2

The made a sequel to The Sting?! Those stupid fucks, what jewness!

Caddyshack 2.
The Grudge 2.
Transporter 2.

Transporter 2.

i didnt like the first one.

anyway, i would add the star wars prequels to that list

100% agree. That sequel was a COMPLETE departure from the first movie.

I'm going to add Blade Trinity to the list.

Vampire pomeranian...

How has no one mentioned SAW?? That and Disney(minus toy story)

Starhsip troopahs!!!!!

Cross of Iron was amazing.

Then Americans decided they needed to be shown as kicking ass in WW2, so they made Breakthrough. Epic Fail.

the Matrix sequels

Nothing has ever failed this hard.

I'm going to add Blade Trinity to the list.

Vampire pomeranian...

Bullshit. That was an awesome movie.


Hellboy 2 anyone?

definitely Caddyshack 2, and The Sting 2. When they make sequels without any of the original main characters from the first movie, they're just asking for box-office failure.

This, Highlander 2 was so bad 3 was worse endgame was ok.

Bullshit. That was an awesome movie.


Hellboy 2 anyone?

Your a Moron, Blade 3 sucked,

Hellboy 2 ruled.

Alien vs Predator 2.

The first one kinda sucked, but it was entertaining at least. The second one sucked even more balls.

Your a Moron, Blade 3 sucked,

Hellboy 2 ruled.

Blade 3 was awesomely corny with some good fight scenes. Not a bad movie.

Hellboy 2 lost all the character of the first one and turned Hellboy into a whipped bitch. Plus, it was predictable as fuck.

We all know how much arse the Saw sequels kick...

The Godfather II and III, nuff said.

Although the first one wasn't that great imo, I've never really seen a good criminal thriller, I always thought they could be made better.
