What is the worst original film to ever get a sequel?

Pigman II · 15-02-2003 12:48pm #1

Which film makes you wonder 'WHY DID THEY MAKE ANOTHER ONE when part 1 was already rubbish to begin with?'

tman · 15-02-2003 1:15pm

urban legend, scream, i know who yore daddy is... pretty much any teen horror flick except for final destination

kaimera · 15-02-2003 4:41pm

blair witch

I found the original urban legends to be quiet good tbh along w/Scream.

For the sake of a crap joke - mike65 don't be sarcy at Kaimera!

As for me - Sister Act.

kamobe · 15-02-2003 7:21pm

Analyse This.

Analyse That being the sequel. *shudder*

Mr. Fancypants · 15-02-2003 7:59pm

Three Men And A Baby -> Three Men and A Little Lady *groan*
Crocodile Dundee -> Crocodile Dundee In L.A.

They're making a sequel to Dude Where's My Car.

When it's out it will be the undisputed champion of this thread.

Urban Legends does it for me until then (it really was poo)

Or maybe that movie about the dog playing basketball.

Hecate · 16-02-2003 11:48pm

Problem Child...

Thank god they never made a third, oh wait..they did. But surprise surprise that was a TV movie. I didn't even like those films when I was 10, and thats the age group it was aimed at.

Clowns!...I hate Clowns!

Highlander

banbutcher · 17-02-2003 9:10am

RoboCop 2, 3
2 was explainable but 3!!!

Richie Rich.

May a million fleas infest the arsehole of whoever commissioned the sequel to this dog's egg of a film. :mad:

ciano · 17-02-2003 9:56am

The Never Ending Story!

The sequel was just awful! Hmmmm .... now that I think of it, there may have even been a third! :rolleyes:

The original was an epic of good versus evil, centering on a magical race of immortals who battled throughout history until there was only one. Now, this scenario pretty much excludes any sort of follow-up, but that fact didn't dissuade Hollywood, which promptly brought back all the dead people from the first one, turned the magical immortals into aliens, and embraced none of the epic quality of its predecessor. Truly horrifying. It's reputation is justified. Bastards.

I'd like to nominate:

Weekend at Bernies
Three Men and A Baby
Speed
Mortal Kombat

Technically, going by the exact wording of the question ("worst film to get a sequel"), you could add Star Trek: The Motion Picture to the list too, as it was bloody awful (although not all it's sequels were). The same could be said about the original Superman movie.

What about best film ever to be followed up with an embarrassingly bad sequel? (Highlander, Blues Brothers, Godfather I&II [III being the bad sequel]...)

Going by both interpretations...
I just noticed today that they've started filming on the second sequel to American Pie.
SECOND.
SEQUEL.
And Bubba Ho-Tep can't find a distributor?!

Samba · 17-02-2003 3:47pm

Whooops, well spotted there Bard

And you are dead right, first was a great film, they actually made a 4th or 5th there with Christopher Lambert and Duncan McCleod.

Called End Game, I cringed oh did I cringe, its on Sky Movies From Time to Time.

Samba · 17-02-2003 4:02pm

Another Really good film to get a woeful Sequel was Friday.

Clintons Cat · 17-02-2003 4:07pm

Porkies
Revenge of the Nerds
Bachelor party
Police academy 2 was one of those films that was maginally better the prequal despite being exactly the same,
*Shrug maybe i just saw them out of sequence

Jaws was half decent but didnt deserve a sequel,i heard they used the same crappy shark which was falling apart by the time they came to shoot

Highlander End game was acutually a very good film.

Yes, yes, Remarkable Acting I must admit.

Carbiens · 18-02-2003 2:58pm

forgot your sarc tags there samba,

In all fairness end game sucked, wait until they make one titled, "there can be only one" or something similar, then we get to kill people a lot with sticks and crap,
i really liked the series though.

and in reply to the topic, screem wins outright till "dude where's my car 2" arrives

Space Coyote · 19-02-2003 12:24am

Stakeout

I cannot believe there's gonna be a sequel to Dude, Where's Me Car !

Oh the humanity

for an neverending story it did end hmmm sumthing going on there!!!

Caesar_Bojangle · 19-02-2003 1:13am

Tomb Raider.

The fact that Angelina Jolie is so god damn doable, is the sole reason of this sequel despite no1 being dog feces on a stick.

tman · 19-02-2003 12:16pm

judging by the hint at the beginning of resident evil & the 'nemisis' reference i'm guessing that there's a sequel planned...
maybe if the stick to the plot of the games more closely it might not be so bad (but then again, resi 2 had the worst plot of them all)

Damon_Kind · 19-02-2003 7:42pm

Bad boys.

Dreadful.

If anyone disagrees, i don't care.

kaimera · 20-02-2003 12:24am

Bad Boys?
LOL!

classic flick.
/me waits for #2

afaik, RE2 is in the planning.
What was wrong with RE?

banbutcher · 20-02-2003 10:00am

saw RE at the weekend and my god was it the biggest heap of poo poo! it totally left itself open for the sequel!

/me shudders!!

ObeyGiant · 20-02-2003 10:59am

When a film leaves the ending "open", people complain about them just paving the way for a sequel.
When a film ends normally, wrapping everything up nicely, people ask "will they make a sequel?"

What's the deal?

I enjoyed RE lots, but mainly because I didn't really expect anything more than cutscenes from the three games. Which I got.

LoGiE · 20-02-2003 12:44pm

Texas Chainsaw Massacre. For all the hype about this film being banned it was actually complete shít with the exception of about ten minutes of film. The fact they went on and made 3 follow ups.... That’s truly shocking and terrifying.
I also believe that a remake of the original is on the way *Sigh

D nominater · 20-02-2003 1:45pm

hate to say this highlander and its sequals (except two on reviewing)were good
hey dude wheres my car was also good most of the others were crap all right
as long as they dont make an all the little animals sequal i suppose............
any barney film is obviously s*ite

D nominater · 20-02-2003 1:54pm

what about the films that explicity say that there is a sequal?
...back to the future,star wars,lord of the rings....?

D nominater · 20-02-2003 2:25pm

i don't know about the worst film of all but the avengers i hear was really name the luckiest actor in it being sean connery because you didn't actually see him,2 came back would never get into the worst film awards but it was pretty lame if only it had a plot and a bit better direction maybe it could have actually been good..
the truth is i tend to forget about the really crappy films(and i wouldnt watch a sequal to a crappy film) and just remember the good ones specially bcos i rarely watch a crappy film through
oh yeah and although good first time, ***** is more disgusting and a little boring second time than first time
also the sequal to Bruce Lees previous films made when bruce lee is actually dead is the worst bruce lee film ever but not that bad a film i generally only watch the fight scenes anyway which is why the jet li films are so good you can actually watch the whole thing and be entertained speaking of which the one with *****
was goodish in places but overall very lame

most disapointing sequals(computer games)
tenchu 2
g-police 2, but not that bad and it almost worked
croc 2
indiana jones and the temple of doom(film)
can't think of any more right now but i'll keep you posted...(hahahahahahahaahahha)
wait mortal kombat 3
later army men sequals so i hear

:eek: :mad:

There's a difference between a sequel and a continuation. A sequel would be a whole new story with either the same general premise or the same cast or location. A continuation would pick up in the same story where the previous movie left off.

Pedantic it may be, but as an example, in the case of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I wouldn't class "The Two Towers" as the 'sequel' to "The Fellowship of the Ring", but simply as the second part of the same story.

When they made Back To The Future, they weren't actually planning to make a second movie (according to the blurb on the BTTF DVD). LotR was always going to be split in 3 - simply for the sake of fitting it all in, time wise. It's one film ... in three parts.

colinsky · 20-02-2003 2:46pm

Austin Powers.

stupid movie, stupid sequel.

Tusky · 20-02-2003 3:35pm

please please please god prevent them from making a sequel to "13 ghosts" !!!

Wheeler · 20-02-2003 5:33pm

Cruel Intentions 2 was utter rubbish

Yep this is true. A lot of people think there was always a sequel planned because on the end of the video tape you see 'to be continued'. However this caption was only inserted for the video release after all three films were made so if the copy you have has this caption then you don't have what was seen in the theatrical release.

Fortunately the DVD set that was released before Xmas had the good sense not to include it so you're getting something closer to the theatrical original

Sleepy Hollow is a cult classic.

I think your on about The Legend Of The Red Dragon.

Kai · 22-02-2003 2:50pm

Im going back a bit here now but i remember a film called ninja kids or something, 3 kids learned martial arts from some old guy. A 7 year old kid beating up about 20 full grown men. i was 8 when i saw it and even at that age when bosco was still cool, i realised that film was crap..... and they made 2 sequels to it.

Anyone remember the film im on about ??

What is the worst original film to ever get a sequel?
