Sequels--the worst

Bob Engleman · 03-23-2006, 11:29 AM

Unfortunately, for we who so enjoy movies, often the 2nd/ last entry in a franchise's terrible. Below I've listed from bad to worst, my sinful 7. The rating criteria I've used, is my opinion of the spread between the original, and sequel.

07.First Blood--Rambo
06.Dirty Dozen--DD Next Mission
05.Guns of Navarone--Force 10 from Navarone
04.Magnificent Seven--Guns of the 7
03.In The Heat of The Night--They Call Me Mr. Tibbs
02.Mummy, The--Mummy's Hand, The (originals from 1932/40)
01.Sting, The--Sting 2, The

Please share your lists.

No particular order:

Saturday Night Fever -- Staying Alive
Highlander -- Highlander II/III/IV (though 4 isn't quite as big a disaster)
Porkys -- Porky 2/3 (again 2 is the worst)
Caddyshack -- CaddyII
Arthur -- Arthur 2

Caddyshack -- Caddyshack II
The Cannonball Run -- The Cannonball Run II
Smokey and the Bandit -- Smokey and the Bandit III
Alien -- Alien 3
Planet of the Apes -- Battle, Beneath, Escape, Conquest

Rambo is a worst sequel?

Ring 2
Oceans 12
Charlies Angels 2

not sure how any htf'er can ignore proclaiming:

lawnmower man 2

the worst sequel ever.

**HTF Ads**

Have to agree with most of these:

Oceans 12 - Julia Roberts playing someone faking she is Julia Roberts??? Who thought this was a good idea?

The Sting 2 was a travesty of epic proportions.

Smokey and the Bandit 3 - Without Burt Reynolds?? Isn't it called Smokey and the Bandit? Unbelievable.

Romancing the Stone - Jewel of the Nile - Didn't get it.

Terminator - T3 - It just wasn't that good. Good effects but the story was kind of lame and it lacked the Cameron heart.

Batman - Batman and Robin - Just bad.

Die Hard - Die Hard 2 - Planes with no fuel explode into huge fireballs. Even too much for my rather generous suspension of disbelief.

I am sure there are many many more...

Caddyshack 2- Won't even see it
Any Meatball sequel

Rocky Horror Picture Show -- Shock Treatment
Predator -- Predator 2
Day of the Dead -- Day of the Dead: Contagium
House of the Dead (Ugh!) -- House of the Dead 2 (Double Ugh!)

Batman - Batman and Robin - Just bad.

Definitely a strong contender for Worst Movie of All Time, let alone Worst Sequel of All Time.

Superman -- Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Mortal Kombat -- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Jaws -- Jaws: The Revenge
Teen Wolf -- Teen Wolf Too

Usually if the director and half of the actors from the first film DO NOT return for the sequel, you know somethig is wrong.

Matrix - Matrix Reloaded followed by the even worse Matrix Revolutions.

Caddyshack - Cadyshack II

Speed - Speed II

I thought that was the only clever/interesting thing about O12!

I'd have to go for:

Alien - Alien: Resurrection (Alien3 redeemed itself with the 145m 'Assembly Cut')
Batman - Batman & Robin
First Blood - Rambo III
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Cut) - Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Superman: The Movie - Superman IV: The Quuest for Peace (Although the alleged 130m original showing was better the rumours say?)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope -- Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

There are others though I'm sure since I do own alot of sequels on DVD.
