Worst movie sequel ever

[hawkeyeandy]

The Army of Darkness thread got me thinking... what's the WORST movie sequel ever? What say you, HROT?

For me, it's got to be "Grease 2." Not that the original was a great movie, but the sequel is unwatchable.

Speed 2

Major League 2 wasn't too bad, IMO, but part 3 was like a bad Hallmark film. Oofff

Ghostbusters 2. The movie isn't horrible but such a giant step down from the original.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

The question should really be "Besides Caddyshack 2..." because there's no doubt that's the leader.

 

[JRHawk2003]

 

[FAUlty Gator]

And besides CS2 the correct answer is "Escape from LA".

 

[INXS83]

Caddyshack 2

It was turrible. Jackie Mason? Give me an effing break!

 

[RunRonnieRun]

I would watch Caddyshack 2 once a week over watching Major League II once a year.

 

[Bonerfarts]

They didn't forget. They "STILL" know!

And I like Jackie Mason. He was funny in The Jerk.

Seriously...this happened in Escape From LA. Snake Pliskin...surfing.

Highlander: The Final Dimension. It was so bad, my buddies and I asked for our money back at the old Plaza Theater in CR. The ticket lady laughed at us.

Teenwolf II was also a major turd.

Starship Troopers 2. Always a bad sign when not a single actor or director from the first doesn't show up in the second film.

You are not wrong. I would label this one "Most Disappointing Sequel" I had high hopes. Then they basically rehashed the old story in a new setting with stupid scenes like that one.

Another way to 'jump the shark'.

Final Dimension makes me angry for how they had to retcon the origin story in. Basically destroyed the entire mythos of the original movie.

This one would be up there (down there?)

Mythos or Methos? Wasn't he the oldest immortal in the Highlander television series?

Objection. Any movie with Barbara Bach topless cannot be the worst sequel ever.

I don't recall much about the TV show, I only ever watched a few episodes, but that show focused on his cousin Duncan I believe. Connor only appeared in a handful as far as I know.

In the 1st movie though, we know Sean Connery and the bad guy from that one obviously were older than him.

This may actually be worse than MLII

Crocodile Dundee 2.

Is it bad that I don't totally hate Major League 3? I essentially treat it as a comedy on it's own. It almost completely dropped all of the elements that made the 1st one so good.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Crocodile Dundee 2.

What?

 

[haw-key]

Without any doubt
Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Agree 100%. The original is one of my favorite flicks of all time

 

[Bulldogs1974]

doesn't the first one have to be decent for the second to be a qualifier?

 

[haw-key]

Agreed. And I rented the sequel and had to turn it off before it was done. Sooooo bad.

It should be.

In junior high, a buddy and me got our hands on a VHS prono. Keep in mind this was early-mid 90's. Nervous that it would be found, we labeled the tape 'Major League 2' knowing nobody was going to pop that into the VCR and it would go unnoticed for years, maybe decades. Unfortunately it did get found out, and confiscated, when buddy got caught fapping to it in the act! LOL!!! I will always break out laughing to the memory of the shame on his face when he told me his mom caught him. Ahhh memories, and childhood traumas- he's still bitter about it. ... csb

In my mind, it was the best sequel ever!

 

[hawkeyeandy]

Nah. That movie was great. It was played completely for laughs, a parody of the original.
