    There have been some cracking sequel names, some of the movies may have been rubbish but you gotta love the titles.

    Speed 2: Cruise Control
    It can be used after nearly anything eg. Bambie 2: Cruise Control, it just works.

    Die Hard 2: Die Harder
    Just a legendary sequel title.

    The original title for the third Jaws movie was Jaws 3-People 0 (it was to be made as a National Lampoon spoof at one stage) that would have easily been the greatest movie title ever

    Live Free or Die Hard

    I wish we got that title over here instead of Die Hard 4.0

    Love it, looks like awful tripe but fair play to the naming committee on this one.

    I thought I was the only one to love that Pro-American title! It's so awesomely cheesy. I do love the simplicity (and sense made by) Aliens.

    Dawn of the Dead     is an awesome sequel title.

    As is Star Trek II : The Wrath of Kahn (KAAAHHHHN!)

    The Empire Strikes Back - plain, simple, exactly what it says on the tin.

    Rocky Balboa - I like the simplicity of this. the movie was more about the man than the legend.

    +1 on Live Free though

    ha ha ha classic!!! :D

    I think The Dark Knight as a sequel title works because the title alone is a forewarning to the sombre story, and it also compliments the origin story and title Batman Begins.

    Dunno really about "Live Fast, Die Hard" - I quite liked the title "Die Hard WITH A VENGEANCE"

    Other good (and so bad they're good) sequel names:

    Naked Gun 2½ and 33 1/3 (taking the p*ss out of the sequel naming convention)
    Terminator 2: Judgment Day (does exactly what it says on the tin)
    The Bourne Ultimatum (sort of says "this is it,.. it ends here.. tonight")
    Jackass: Number Two (AH HA HA HA THEY MADE A TOILET REFERENCE!!!... yeah.)
    Crank: High Voltage (Bonkers. Just bonkers.)
    Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel (Laugh? I nearly shat a kitten!)

    The sequel to "Dude, Where's My Car?" was to be called "SERIOUSLY, Dude! Where's My Car?!" ... seriously.

    One that slightly perplexed me was Scooby-Doo 2: The Mystery Begins. If the Mystery starts in the sequel, what the heck was the first film about? :cool:

    Some I did like include Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde; Babe: Pig in the City; For A Few Dollars More.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Has Airplane II: The Sequel been mentioned yet? I don't think I saw it, but this thread was a bit listy for my tastes.
