I’m just glad they never made a sequel to The Blues Brothers.
Or Bad Santa.
Speaking of Charles Bronson, there was Death Wish. Not my cup of tea, but at least an interesting idea for a story. But no one needed Death Wish II, 3, 4, or V - yes, that was how they were numbered!
Not to mention the reboot with Bruce Willis.
I did catch Apollo 18. Must have missed the four in-between.
Dr. Strangelove
I want a movie about the mine-shaft orgies.
Witness
Seven Samurai - Akira Kurosawa
The Killer - John Woo
Versus - Ryuhei Kitamura
Whoops.
They did; Bad Santa 2.
I came here to say Pink Flamingos.
Oops…I only read the thread title “films that should have not sequel…ever!”. These movies didn’t have sequels and thankfully so. John Woo is remaking The Killer and IMO that’s a travesty! You can’t improve upon perfection!
But I have to know what Babs and Cotton have been doing in Boise the last 47 years!
Waters wrote a script for a sequel “Flamingos Forever” but scrapped it after Divine declined to repeat the role and Edith Massey’s death. He published it in the book “Trash Trio”
You can’t be serious. Empire was better than the original and I’m one of those weird people who liked the prequels. Every Star Wars film is well worth seeing.
I’m not gonna say The Matrix never should have had sequels, but they definitely never should have had THOSE sequels.
They probably shouldn’t make a sequel to On the Beach.
As distinct from remakes.
The book was very good. I enjoyed it.
Seven Samurai definitely shouldn’t have had a sequel. The American western remake, though, the Magnificent Seven, had three.
Of course, as in samurai, all but three of the seven get killed off, so you couldn’t really have a sequel with everyone. They only had Yul Brynner of the original cast back for the first sequel. they had other actors replacing the other two survivors – Robert Fuller replaced the scene-stealing Steve Mcqueen as Vin Tanner and Julian Mateos replaced the too-Anglo Horst Buchholz as Chico. The plot actually makes sense, with Chris Adams (Brynner) being called back to rescue Chico and other men from the village who have been kidnapped. They get four other guys to fill out the seven. The movie isn’t great (although I think it’s better than the critics made it out to be) The other sequels still have the Adams character, although he’s played by George Kennedy in Guns of the Magnificent Seven and Lee van Cleef in The Magnificent Seven Ride (where he becomes a US Marshall) . For no good reason, except the titles, they keep rounding out the number of gunmen to Seven.
None of the sequels did as well as the original.
Serious as a heart attack. The Star Wars franchise is the most overrated bunch of movies ever made.
People keep saying this, and I’ve never understood it. It is clearly an in-between movie that doesn’t stand on its own. That, IMHO, makes it a lesser film than the original Star Wars.
Did you really mean to admit that in public? 
We’ll have to agree to disagree.
The Magnificent Seven’ was essentially a remake of ‘The Seven Samurai’ and was terrific! Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Eli Wallach, Robert Vaughn and introducing Horst Buchholz…all directed by John Sturgis.
‘The Guns of the Magnificent Seven’ and the ‘Magnificent Seven Ride!’ were fucking terrible and never should have been made.
