Worst Movie Sequel Ever?

[ScreamingMeemie]

This the question on the radio this morning. I went with Freddie v. Jason...although there are so many to choose from.

[terrya]

1. The sequel to "The Exorcist" was pretty awful.

A sequel which really didn't need to be made...

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. You are so right.

:hi:

[SkipNewarkDE]

2. Mannequin 2

The first film was so godawful; making a sequel was, well, bleah.

[MrScorpio]

3. The King of all Bad Sequels: Highlander 2

So bad that it was ignored by all sequels and syndications

[VelmaD]

23. YES YES YES!!!

I don't even know why anyone bothers to ask this question given that the answer, Highlander 2, is SO self-evident. :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. HEAR HEAR!

It. Was. Painful.

Planet Zoot. Ozone layer. WAAAAAAAAH MAKE IT STOP!!!!

[MrScorpio]

39. It wasn't "Zoot", it was "Zeist"

I rememeber this clearly because it's the same name as a town in the Netherlands that I always fantasize about settling in someday.

Oh, the Horrah!

[Cannikin]

4. Superman III and IV

ugh.

[terrya]

5. I would also add the third "Austin Powers" film.

That was dreadful beyond words. It was almost sad watching that. Mike Myers was trying to wring any laugh he could out of that.

[LynneSin]

35. Toss the 2nd one in too - the first was so original and the other 2...

...just rehashed the same thing again from the first movie

[TyeDye75]

6. Grease 2....

although to be fair Grease 1 sucked too....

it just sucked a little less.

Looking back I cant even believe that I sat and watched Grease 2 all the way through... but you do crazy things when your 14 and in 'love'.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I loved the first Grease. Still do.

:hi:

[TyeDye75]

21. Each to his/her own

Its a masterpiece compared to its sequel...its just no to my taste

[Cannikin]

7. Star Trek V

and thats hard for me to say, as a life long trekkie

[terrya]

9. The risks of mixing religion and sci-fi. Plus, add Shatner's ego...

to the mix...and you've got a mess. "Star Trek V" was awful...some unexplained plot elements (Scottie and Uhura were in a relationship??), plus a questionable story line itself.

[GOPBasher]

8. Any of the Freddy or Jason movies. nt

[vi5]

11. Freddy vs. Jason? As oppossed to all the other...

Freddy and/or Jason sequels? That movie was pretty bad but I don't recall it sullying any great legacy. And believe me I'm a horror fan.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. The first Friday the Thirteen was pretty good. We've all got our own

opinions. Thanks

[vi5]

17. Oh, I love it...and the first Freddy...

..and in fact I actually enjoy most of the sequels. It wasn't a dig at those movies by any means. For me good horror movies are great, but bad horror movies can be just as good. My post was more that I didn't think that Freddy vs. Jason was any better or worse than any of the previous sequels. The only thing I remember finding laughably absurd was that halfway through the movie they had one of the kids figure the whole thing out. "Hey, do you think Freddy brought Jason back to life?"

Although I caught Dream Warriors (was that Nightmare 3?) recently and it was much more dated than the rest.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. It was horridly comedic. Way worse. My six year old was laughing.

They should have not billed it as horror, which makes it all the more worse in my opinion. :hi:

[vi5]

19. Yeah, I'm generally against comedy in my horror......

...That's why I wasn't nuts about that Shaun of the Dead movie that people raved about. But hey, like you said....opinions...we all got 'em.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. I haven't seen it. It just looked too goofy for me.

:hi:

[vi5]

22. If you go in expecting a comedy it's not bad at all....

...but I went in expecting it to be a good zombie/horror movie. Not so much.

[Zuni]

34. Friday the 13th 1 and 2 were awesome---went downhill from there

Jason X being the worst, by far.

[DelawareValleyDem]

13. Beyond the Poseidon Adventure

Completely sucked

[kcwayne]

15. Star Wars: Episode 1

How can you spend that much money and produce such a dud, especially when you are targeting a market that is emotionally vested in your premise and are hard to disappoint?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I agree. They should have let a good thing go.

:hi:

[Discord]

28. thats my choice too...

not that in itself it could have been an interesting movie... but not Star Wars. Was almost like watching a bad spin-off movie. VERY dissappointing.

[fishwax]

30. I'd choose Episode 2

that's the worst SW movie ever, imo.

[Arkana]

32. I second that one

Too much money spent on making Qui-Gon's and Obi-Wan's lightsabers look more sparkly and not enough on TALENTED ACTORS!

[Cannikin]

24. Passion II: The Revenge of the Christ

[Cooley Hurd]

26. GF3

Sorry, but Sofia Coppola singlehandedly sunk that movie...:thumbsdown:

[Zech Marquis]

27. The Matrix Reloaded

great second half, but way, way way too much lecturing the first half :grr: I think it should have been titled The Matrix Sold Out !

[fishwax]

33. Ugh. Or Revolutions

I was at least able to finish Reloaded, and feel like I could still look forward to the final installment. But halfway through Revolutions I realized, much to my surprise, that I was too bored to care how it ended anymore.

[BigMcLargehuge]

29. Jaws: The Revenge

[underpants]

31. Was that the one were the shark was chasing the Brody family?

and out swam a Lear jet at the end?

[Zuni]

36. Yeah, with the Pyschic fish

was rather lame. The original jaws was such a good movie too.

[WoodrowFan]

37. Teenage Asian Cheerleader Hitchhikers 2 SUCKED

no character developemnt at ALL. And the "teenagers" were all at LEAST 30. Not to mention the AWFUL soundtrack. Damn.

[aden_nak]

38. Troll 2. End of debate.

And if you haven't seen in, you REALLY must. It makes The Phantom Menace look like Citizen Kane.
