Speaking of Jim Carrey Sequels (Prequels) Without Jim Carrey...

Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd

I agree with the point about sequels making characters into parodies of themselves - like the personality change in Marcus Brody between Raiders and Indy & Last Crusade - turning him into a complete buffoon for comedy effect. Even the Back to the Future films had this to some extent.
I'd like to add Blade 3 to the list - horrible!
Highlander 2 must deserve some kind of award for completely and utterly changing things from the first film in the most radical possible way. I can't think of any other sequel that changed the entire origin of the characters in such a way!

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Halloween 3. It's not just a bad sequel, like many of the other installments in the series. It was a movie that had the halloween name thrown on it after the makers realized what a stinker it was! It has nothing to do with the series. Nada!

Couldn't agree more about Halloween III, although for some unknown reason it has gained a following over the years.

That jingle in the film makes me want to slash my own throat with a plastic butter knife.

HALLOWEEN 3 wasn't a sequel to anything. Back then, the idea was to begin an annual series of movies for Halloween, each with a different subject matter. It was never intended to be a part of the original series.

Inspector Hammer! · 03-25-2006, 06:30 PM

It actually doesn't even matter that it isn't really a sequel, it's just not a very good film in general IMO.

A rare mis-fire for Tom Atkins for me.

I'm a weirdo but I think Halloween III is still better than every Haloween sequel (except 4) that followed it. Like I said, I'm weird.

The Secret of NIMH 2. An awful, awful film. The original had superb animation, an excellent Jerry Goldsmith score, some great characters and a wonderful dark feel. The sequel was cheap, had horrid animation that was far too simplistic and bright, a sh*t score and a stupid comedy baddie who was totally at odds with anything in the original. It was one of the few times I came close to snapping the DVD in half
