Evil Dead 2 and Rambo (the 4th movie of that series) on Blu Ray are the only ones I own for those respective series (got them used cheap at a store that was closing down).
I have the 3 disc DVD set of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, but no Night of the Living Dead. Someone has a copy I can borrow really easily though, and it’s almost always on OnDemand somewhere so not like not owning it means I don’t have access. Hell, it’s public domain so I could just download it legally if I wanted.
I also have Diary of the Dead, if that counts. I don’t think it technically counts as a sequel, but it’s Romero and zombies, so make your own judgment.
I had Terminator 2 on VHS before I had Terminator 1, but I now have plenty of T1 copies.
There have been times I’ve bought TV seasons out of order, like I bought Buffy season 7 before 4-6, but I always intended to go back and get the rest eventual (and fortunately they got really cheap by the time I did!).
edit:Oh, Star Trek as well, it counts as a sequel thanks to Spock Prime!
Put me down for ditters on that one. I’ve only seen The Hustler maybe twice – TCOM is something I have the hard copy of. Just that good.
Full disclosure, though – in this “digital” age, I’m only counting flicks I own a legit hard copy of. DRM legit copies don’t count, for me, nor do “otherise obtained” (henceforth OO versions.
I’m not your daddy, I’m not your boyfriend. Are those metal rivets?
Slight hijack, but I see people mentioning Wrath of Khan here – just saw it first time this morning. Solid space opera – I enjoyed it thoroughly. I’ve seen the one with the whales in the theater, but I think those are the only two I’ve seen (despite being into TNG and reruns of TOS when I was a kid).
So, maybe I missed something, kind of not paying close attention. What exactly was the deliciously flamboyant Khan so pissed about, anyway? He wasn’t just ticked off, he was burn it all pissed off, as you know.
Anyway, thanks for this thread – always meant to watch that, but never had a good reason to.
The short answer is in the Original Star Trek episode The Space Seed, Kahn has a run in with Kirk and in the end Kirk leaves him on a planet that was rough but habitable to build his own society. Turned out the planet had a catastrophe shortly after which turned it into a lifeless desert. Kahn went insane and blamed Kirk for everything.
This is Patti Rocks, a low-budget film from 1988 with somewhat of a cult reputation. I found a copy of it remaindered a few years ago, bought it, and watched it. It’s a sequel to Loose Ends, a 1976 film which doesn’t have any reputation as far as I know:
In fact, it’s probably impossible to find. This is certainly a weird thing for the filmmakers to do. They said, “Hey, you know that film that went nowhere and earned nothing for us twelve years ago? Let’s make a sequel.”
To add to what was already mentioned, Khan blames Kirk for the extremely painful death of his wife and “20 of my people” following Ceti Eels burrowing into their brains.
I’ve got Evil Dead II and Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Excellent Adventure was cute enough to get me to watch Bogus Journey, but not enough to buy it.
Watch the opening of the film. There’s a subtitle or a crawl that says “Eleven years later . . .” or some such. This is a hint that it’s the same characters as the earlier film. I only noticed this part of the opening because I first heard of Patti Rocks in an essay on it in a book about interesting obscure movies.
Nit-picking just a bit:
G/B/U is actually the third of five Man-with-no-name movies.
