What movies should _NOT_ have/had a sequel?

[WillParkinson]

I just saw a commercial for John Travolta in "Phenomenon II".

Some movies should NEVER have a sequel!

[mikehiggins]

1. no sequels

Aliens II
Predator
Anything with John Travolta
Terminator II
Beastmaster (well, that probably shouldn't have been made in the first place)
Saturday Night Fever (see above)
the last Indiana Jones movie.
StarTrek II: the Wrath of Khan
Home Alone
Lion King
Jaws
oh, forget about it. There are just too many.

[dorktv]

4. Wait a minute...Travolta was in a good movie...

Pulp Fiction.

[Kamika]

2. id say alien3

nr 4 was so bad nr3 looked like a masterpiece.

Highlander definetly. I think they were on crack.

Almost ALL Disney movie sequels that goes straight to VHS. (i mean wtf is up with snow white 2)

Jurassic Park
Terminator2 !!! nr 3 sucked so much i cried (honestly


Ill edit as i come up with more

[xultar]

3. Bad Boys,

The Matrix
Die Hard
Inspector Gadget
George of the Jungle
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm St
Psycho

[jafap]

5. have to agree with that first one

I just wasted $15 on Matrix reloaded.

But I think that is a little different. I loved the first movie, but think the 2nd one bit. The question is based on a first movie which is so bad that the sequel could be called: "the nightmare continues".

Recent movies that I hated would be

Spider man
Scooby Doo (yes I have to watch movies with my nieces, but it was also memory lane for me)

Because they were not true to the originals.

[sasquatch]

6. The Matrix reloaded was better than the original

:grr: Everyone knows that

[Kamika]

7. It so wasnt

The original was original

The sequel was just braindead action
!!!

[jafap]

14. with a downer ending

Like Spiderman and Harry Potter IV.
I have no interest in continuing the story.

[DS1]

30. no, the original was original, then turned into brain-dead action

BOOOOO-FUCKING-INNNNG!

Wait, we need more bullets, yeah, bullets are the answer to everything.

[LTR]

31. Reloaded = not as good as the first one

It was good (better after repeat viewings) and it had some elements I liked (the Neo/Smith(s) fight, car chase, etc.). And I liked the idea of the rogue elements inside the Matrix (Agent Smith, the French guy, the albino twins).

The rave scene should have been deleted - it really sucked. It almost killed the movie.

"The Animatrix" DVD looks pretty cool (I got a bonus disc from Best Buy with the "Renaissance II" segment), and while not a big anime fan, I was entertained.

But I'm a sucker, so I'll pony up the coin and see "Revolutions" next week.

[xultar]

8. No way! Reloaded Sucked big time

I almost started laughing during the multi Neo Multi Mr.Smith fight.
It seemed to be more of a typical action flix.

[sasquatch]

26. Someone is still obviously still plugged in

;)

[grannylib]

9. Any of the Star Wars stuff lately was pathetic...

The first three films released were fine (the original and Return of the Jedi being the best IMHO)

But this latest crap - it's just crap!
If ya don't got the guy with the wookiee, ya don't got much!

[Kamika]

10. oh yeah absolutely

Altough chewbacka will star in nr3 but im sure it will be pretty bad.

[Mysterio]

11. too many to name...

Star Wars (the new ones)
Terminator
The Matrix (yes, reloaded sucked)
Scary Movie
The last 5 or 6 Friday the 13th movies
Aliens
Predator

the list goes on and on..........

[Ready4Change]

12. Highlander

There SHOULD have been only one.

:)

[Kellanved]

28. As far as I am concerned: there still is only one.

I absolutely refuse to acknowlegde any of the namesake productions .

[HuckleB]

13. Easier Question: What Sequels Were Actually Worth Making?

Godfather II
Star Wars Episodes 5 and 6 (counting episode 4 as the original -- with episodes 1 and 2 as completely unworthy)
Several Bond Flicks
Road Warrior

Umm... Umm... Umm...

[dorktv]

15. Scary Movie 2.

[Kamika]

17. Aliens

Terminator2
Ghostbusters2
Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome

[maveric]

16. Godfather II was the only movie with numerals that I liked.

That was a classic possibly better than GFI.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

18. Austin Powers....

The original was a sweet, funny, spot-on love note to the genre. When I walked out of it, I turned to my friend who was with me and said, "I pray they don't spoil things and make a sequel".

But noone ever listens to me.

[Liberal Veteran]

19. Silence of the Lambs.....

Hannibal. Need I say more?

[FireHeart]

36. No.

Hannibal was a horrid book written into an equally horrid screenplay. I don't know anyone who liked either. Really bad book, really bad movie.

Just my opinion.

[JackSwift]

20. Godfather II was just sacrilige on Godfather

Never should have been made.


Now Police Academy movies, those are sequelicious!

[LTR]

34. I hope you're just kidding

Godfather II was one of the best sequels ever made. Very well done.

Still haven't seen Godfather III. Yes, I still want to.

[NightTrain]

21. The Godfather, Part III....

Weekend at Bernie's 2
Grease 2
The Sting 2
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
Friday The 13th, Part 2-infinity
Halloween II-infinity
Rambo: First Blood, Part 2
Rambo III
Poltergeist II and III
City Slickers II
Airplane II: The Sequel
Ghostbusters II
The Karate Kid, Parts II and III

God, there have been so many horrendous sequels. Who can possibly remember them all?

[Kamika]

22. dont forget

Karate kid 4

[NightTrain]

27. There was a fourth KARATE KID film?!

And people wonder why I don't believe in god.

[VermontDem2004]

38. I liked City Slickers II

Maybe I am in a minority but I thought it was funny. I don't think the original Grease wasn't worth making.

[Cat Atomic]

23. The Terminator & Conan the Barbarian

Nothing to do with Arnold, but those sequels movies just sucked.

[Kamika]

24. t2 rocked

I admit t3 sucked though

[mitchum]

25. "The Rodney King video"

[Iris]

29. Dirty Dancing

[nomaco-10]

32. Terms of Endearment...

A great movie, another case of "shoulda left well enough alone'.

[LTR]

33. Here's some

"Rocky II-XXVII"

"Speed II" (why not leave well enough alone)

"Legally Blonde II" (First one was bad enough)

"Jaws II and III"

"Caddyshack II" (eeeeeeeeeaaaaauuuuuuugggghhhhhh!!!!)

"Analyze That"

"City Slickers II" (not to pick on Billy Crystal)

"Dumb and Dumberer II"

"Miss Congeniality II" (heard they were making a sequel - the first one was f-ing awful enough!)

The Psycho sequels (especially the made for cable one where Norman Bates calls in to radio talk shows - yes, it's true!)

"Blair Witch II" (HATED HATED HATED the first one!)

Anything where the dead guy is brought back to life

"Titanic II - Back To The Boat"

"Steel Magnolias II - The Boyfriend Torturer"

(Just kidding about the last two. They don't exist. Yet.)

[Scurrilous]

35. Any Planet of the Apes sequel.

Planet of the Apes was good. The rest ...Beneath the.., Escape from.., Battle for.., and Conquest of..,all had a huge dropoff in quality.

[Norbert]

37. The Exorcist.

The first movie was very good. The sequel? pfffffttt!!
